Mid Century Selling Methods and Memorials
I would like to clarify the title of my speech this morning. It is misstated. Several years ago the Chairman asked me to give a title for a speech at the convention. It's always difficult for me to do this, but in the current language of several years ago, I said, make it, "It's Later Than You Think." When the program was printed it read, "It may be too late."
Some time last spring our Charlotte Sales Executives Club put on what we call the Piedmont Sales Conference, a meeting of sales executives from all over the North Carolina Piedmont area. They offered a prize for a slogan for that meeting. I won a quart of whiskey with the slogan, "Mid Century Sales, Markets and Methods," not memorials. "Markets and Methods," this is the real title of my speech today. I don't know anything about memorials, if you are thinking about tombstones, at least.
My good friend Parks said to me outside, "I am staying over to listen to your talk; I want to hear you speak on 'memorials'." I said, "Somebody has put up a job on you; that ain't it." You know, I think Howard Ott let me down very badly, getting up here and telling us that his wife had gallstones. Why couldn't she have had gall-bronze instead of gallstones? Imagine a Memorial Park pioneer like Ott permitting an old-fashioned thing like that!
Now this title - "Mid Century Sales." The very first word of it brings to mind we are mid-point of a century that's been very interesting to live in, and some of our lives span back that far.
At the turn of the century I was a fourteen-year-old boy. Now a little mental arithmetic will give you the answer. I will be sixty-five next April. Fourteen years old and I was reading what the kids read at that time, surreptitiously, "literature" that corresponds, I suppose, with the "comic books" that the kids use today. They called them Dime Novels. I don't know why; they only cost a nickel. I am sure Dr. Eaton read them at Liberty, Missouri, because that is Jesse James old stamping grounds, you know, and some of these were about Jesse. Dime Novels. Our parents were scandalized. Stuffing our heads with all the foolish stuff that was in those books! My mother was so opposed to them, I kept them in the barn, didn't dare bring them in the house. Toted them from there to school where I traded for others. There was one series of those Dime Novels that had to do with a fellow named Frank Read, Jr. Some of you oldsters will remember. He was an inventor. He made horseless car¬riages and submarines and airplanes and things like that, and my parents thought that was terrible stuff to stuff my mind with, fantastic crazy contraptions that were out of this world. That was fifty years ago.
One afternoon last summer I got on a plane at New York and the next morning about 6 AM New York time, dropped down at Orley Field in Paris. Just a few hours crossing the Atlantic in one of those "crazy contraptions" that were considered so fantastic fifty years ago that our parents didn't even want us to read about them. That's the kind of world we are living in.
So it is proper, I suppose, at the mid-century mark, to review what is taking place. We are so close to it that we can't appreciate the vastness of the change. Did you ever think about the fact that prior to a little over one hundred years ago nobody ever traveled any faster than a horse could take him? For ten thousand years mankind never improved on the speed of travel. They were plenty smart back in those days too. Then in the early part of the 19th century came the steam engine, the locomotive and the trains and we stepped up our speed many fold, from the speed of a horse to the speed of a train. And then, later, in my own day, in my own home town, the first automobile was made down at Kokomo, Indiana.
With the internal combustion engine applied to the making of automobiles, we stepped up our speed tremendously. The marvelous automotive industry that we are so close to and so familiar with that it doesn't induce any wonder has all come about in your day and mine. Then the airplane. We eat our dinner in New York and our breakfast in Los Angeles, and if we have an early enough dinner, we can even get to Los Angeles and be in bed by midnight. You and I are living in the midst of changes like this. That's the century of which we are in the mid-point now.
I might further point out that prior to one hundred years ago nobody ever sent a message faster than a horse could take it. Some time ago in the Readers' Digest I saw a review story of the old pony express days when back in our grandfather's day by relay of fast horses they carried a message from the Missouri River to California in nine days, and bragged about it. It made the front pages of the newspapers. For thousands of years nobody had ever done it any faster than that. And then came the telegraph and the telephone, and now the magic of radio. You go home tonight and tune in and hear somebody say, "Come in, Tokyo," and a fellow around on the other side of the world is bringing you up to date on the war.
That's the century of which we are at the midpoint. I could go on indefinitely with similar illustrations. I am just speaking of these to remind you that an active minded generation that produced airplanes and automobiles and submarines and radio and phonographs and all of the magic that we are used to today, also made it inevitable that we should eventually do something about the cemetery, because it too had made no progress for thousands of years.
I have visited old cemeteries in Europe, Asia and Africa some that are a thousand, two thousand years old; no one knows how old they are. Our idea of old things in America is quite inadequate. We are, as a nation, so new. This summer after a day's trip down the Rhine, we stopped at the old cultured city of Cologne. They had flags and bunting out getting ready apparently for a celebration that night. I asked what it was all about, and was told that they were celebrating their nineteen hundredth anniversary as a city.
Up in Oslo, Norway, a week or two later, they had flags out; they were celebrating the seven hundredth anniversary of the city. They have a historical background into which to fit the things that are going on in the world today that we do not have in this country. That is the reason they don't get quite so excited about some things as we do here.
No, it is a wonderful century in which we are living, and in this business of ours, the cemetery business, we have witnessed more progress in only a portion of that half-century than has come about in hundreds of years before. You and I have had a part in this, a very enjoyable part for most of us, with some profit, with some reward for the hard work that we have put into it. But I think for the conscientious cemetery man, the greatest compensation is not in the dollars ... We are not discounting that, of course. The workman is worthy of his hire and anyone who develops some better way of doing things, something or some method that contributes to the greater enjoyment and the comforts and the conveniences of life, is entitled to make some money out of it, and apparently the public does not begrudge it.
The greatest compensation to the conscientious cemetery man is the knowl¬edge that he's doing something for the city in which he lives and the people among whom he lives, that he's taking an institution that was traditionally gloomy and depressing, dressing it up in new clothes and making it bright and cheerful, colorful and inviting, taking the "graveyard" that was associated in the public's mind with its grief, its sorrow; that old place out at the edge of town that most of us were so afraid of when we were kids that we went around the other way at night to get home; making it over into a place delightful to visit, not just for those who came to bury their dead but for all the people who love the brightness and color and cheerfulness of landscape gardening and artistic architecture.
"All the world loves a lover," they say. All the world loves a garden too. The garden plan of cemetery design represents a great step forward in the treatment of an old problem, the memorialization of our beloved dead. You and I have a part in that, and we are happy in our work. If incidentally, we make some money out of it, who is to complain? Again I say that the workman is worthy of his hire and the American public always feels that way about it.
There is the danger, of course, that a too-great materialism may creep in; that we may get to depend upon the material too much in the way of reward. That is a danger always present as the new and better things of our day have come about. Aboard that plane, flying across the Atlantic last summer, I had time to do a lot of thinking.
I remembered that during the war Madame Chiang Kai Shek in an address, I think it was at one of our colleges, presented her message under three captions¬- "learning from the past," "living in the present," and "dreaming of the future." As we winged our way across the ocean on that great French Constellation plane, I looked back over nearly thirty years in the cemetery business and tried to assess the lessons learned, tried to apply those lessons to today s problems and make use of them as we "plan the future."
In Paris this summer I again visited the Louvre Museum. There is one particular picture there that I always like to see. Some of the things in the Louvre you are supposed to admire leave me a little flat. I am not educated up to them, I guess. The Mona Lisa is one, and the Venus de Milo, just isn't my style. Some of those things remind me of what Mark Twain said about classical music. He said, "It's the kind of music you keep listening to in the hope that it will turn into a tune." Some of the world's art treasures don't "turn into tunes" for me. But there's this particular picture that I always go to see. It is by an artist named David. He painted with a lot of color, and I like that. This picture that I am talking about is a very large one, a picture of an historical event-¬"The Crowning of Napoleon." It is a picture of that time when the Little Corporal had come to the zenith of his power. All Europe lay at his feet, and he had assembled here the high brass of Europe, military, ecclesiastical and civil. He wanted to found a dynasty, to perpetuate his power. Right at the last minute of the crowning ceremony the vain Napoleon reached over and, took the crown out of the Pope's hand and put it on his own head. He wasn't willing to admit that even the head of his church "ranked" him enough to do that thing for him.
The next day over on the other side of the city we visited his tomb, and I could not but remember how few short years intervened between his crowning and his defeat in the field of battle, his fleeing from his enemies, his capture, his imprisonment his death in prison. In this picture I was impressed with the fact that those whose hope of the future rests upon mastery of material things, those who forget that the intangible, the "unseen" forces are those that will continue and endure are in for a rude awakening.
In 1938 we were in Italy and Mussolini was strutting his stuff in a big way about that time, jutting out his chin, making his flamboyant speeches. All of Italy was organized, even the little kids were marching, boys no older than our Boy Scouts in full military apparel, everybody shouting Mussolini's name and praises. "Viva Mussolini," "Viva il Duce" was written everywhere, on the barns, bridges, warehouses and even on the rocks of the hills. It was, at the high point of the Duce's career. He talked in terms of rebuilding the empire of the Caesars, reviving the glories of Rome in the modern world. The Italians believed it and wildly acclaimed him as only the Latin people can enthuse.
Ten years later - that was two years ago - I visited a filling station at Milan, Italy, the place where they had hanged him, ignominiously hanged him to¬gether with his girl friend, after he was dead, head down. I couldn't help but remember something St. Paul said once, for we look not at the things that are seen" he said "but at the things that are not seen, for the things that are seen, are temporal, 'but the things that are not seen are eternal." The world has been slow to learn.
The idealism of the memorial park movement will last and last through centuries. The material aspects are subject to change and a too-great "materialism" in our attitude and behavior may react to our disappointment. Last summer we got a car in Munich for an all day trip down into the Bavarian Alps to a little village called Berchtesgarten. That was where the late Mr. Hitler made his "hide-out" to entertain his satellite stooges. This was the place where the "top brass" of Nazism assembled. On reaching the little town we got into a military car-the ordinary car wouldn't pull it-and wound our way up the side of that mountain, clear up to the snow line, and then went through a long tunnel hewn out of solid rock. At the end of the tunnel we got into a spacious elevator and ascended four hundred feet through solid rock and came out at the top the "Eagle's Nest," remember? That was the Holy of Holies of the Hitler cult. As we looked down from there, about half-way down, a group of buildings lay in ruins. This was Ober-Salzburg and here was Hitler's house, and Goring's, Martin Borman's and others of the high brass of Nazism.
This wreckage symbolized the tragic end of this man Hitler, who talked about "a thousand year of German rule" that he was going to impose on the world with his strong right arm, with his preponderance of arms. Now the place where he lived and plotted is just a pile of twisted steel. And that fellow Goring, who promised his people that no foreign airplane would ever cross the German bor¬ders, his house is there too and wrecked even worse than Hitler's.
Later we visited in Southern Bavaria a little town called Oberammergau and sat one day in a great audience of sixty-two hundred people to view the world famous "Passion Play." Two, three, sometimes four times a week such an audi¬ence assembled.
Who were they? Well, they were people of every color, race and creed. People from all over the world and from the islands of the sea, coming there in almost countless thousands and sitting in an all-clay session . . . you go at 8: 30 in the morning, you get out at noon, you come back at 2 o'clock and get out at 6 ... what is it you are looking at? The dramatization of the last week of the earthly life of a man who failed, a man who was defeated, executed, two thousand years ago. His enemies overcame Him and His friends deserted Him and it looked like His whole program had crashed.
But here to this obscure village, two thousand years later, they were coming from the far parts of the world to pay honor to His memory, to a man who talked about brotherhood, about "getting along" together, about sitting down and adjusting their differences on the basis of "brotherhood," loving each other. Love doesn't commit murder. Love doesn't steal. Love is not dominated by greed and avarice. Love doesn't do any of these things that rack and harass the world today. He said that in love people ought to get along together. But the Hitlers and Mussolinis and Stalins have scoffed at this as a "slave religion." With sword in hand they have sought dominion over others despite His warning that "They that take the sword shall perish with it."
Another thing that happened on that trip! We visited a church in Rome, called San Pietro de Vinculi, "St. Peter of the Chains." Wandering through it I saw a great heroic size, magnificent sculpture of a great character whose name was Moses. And I thought, "Where have I seen that before," and then I remembered at a Memorial Park builder named Eaton had been over there was so impressed with Michelangelo's Moses that he had made an official authoritative copy and brought it back and put it in his Memorial Park in Los Angeles. To do what? To make money out of it? No. The influence of that great masterpiece of Michelangelo erected in Forest Lawn will through all the years contribute to the culture of his city, inspire the millions who visit his park.
Then later in the old city of Florence, in Tuscany, a city that was well and beneficially ruled by the Medici Family for seven hundred years, we stood on a hill overlooking the city, and here I saw another great white statue, the original" "David" of Michelangelo, and I remembered that man Eaton had been here too had a copy made of this world-famed masterpiece and brought back to Forest Lawn. A gravestone? No. Monument? Tombstone? No. "David" was to have a place in Eaton's outdoor museum of art that he was assembling here in his world-renowned "God's Acre." And again later on the trip we were up in the industrial city of Milan. Here we visited an old monastery, on whose restored walls we viewed the great painted masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci. Not very interesting because it was so faded now. Again I remembered where I had seen that too. That same man Eaton had been here too and had this marvelous "Last Supper" reproduced authentically in a fadeless medium of art glass, brought it back, and installed it in his cemetery, his modern Memorial Park, Forest Lawn in Los Angeles.
We heard that man Eaton speak the other night, in this room, and I am a little afraid some of the hearers might misinterpret some of the things that he said. He discussed and expanded, you know the subject of how to "comb" out a few more dollars here and there in the operation of our cemeteries. Now I happen to know, and you too know that Mr. Eaton hasn't been so darn interested in dollars back in the past, as his address might imply. Do you know what I con¬cluded about it? That he was mainly trying to encourage some of those cemetery operators present who in recent times and due to higher operating costs have not been getting enough dollars to get along with, trying to say to you, "Here's some unexplored sources of legitimate revenue where you can render additional services that the public needs and thus make an extra buck or two to get you out of the red and keep you alive and in business."
I think it was to Mr. Eaton a matter of encouraging those who were a little discouraged because of the balance sheet they had last seen on their own operations. Whether Mr. Eaton makes dollars or not, we know he has built on the West Coast an institution internationally known, a place of cultural, dynamic influence, a wholesome civic enterprise which will endure for generations after his name is forgotten. Generations yet unborn will pass through the portals of the Forest Lawn Cemetery and be thrilled and inspired, their lives made brighter and their sorrow made easier because this man embodied such ideals and idealism about this new way of memorializing the dead.
I am mentioning Mr. Eaton because he is the most conspicuous among us. He has done it in a bigger way. I think he's had some advantage in the "Holly¬wood" setting out there, but he's done something that in a lesser way you and I can do anywhere in America. Some of us have been doing it. I have had a part in the organization, development and sale of a great many cemeteries.
I would like to interpolate here that if you have found you have made mis¬takes, don't get discouraged. I made them all ahead of you all the mistakes in the book.
So, if we are not perfect, let's not get too concerned about our mistakes, and remember this-that back through the years I have often heard Mr. Eaton speak about the mistakes that he too made. He didn't make as many as I did, or else he's covered them up better. Through those years we were experimenting. We were operating under very different conditions in times.
Now, that's what's the matter with some men who are in the cemetery business. The years have brought changes in our problems, our opportunities and in our obligations.
Turning our thoughts for a moment to the specific subject of this speech, let us consider our Market. The market for cemetery property is of course coextensive with the population. Someone asked me yesterday how big my city of Charlotte is, One hundred thirty thousand, according to the last census. Then they asked how many Negroes live there? Forty thousand, and here I can see the questioner was doing mental arithmetic so I beat him to the point and said, "I also own the Negro cemetery," so if you are a little worried about losing part of your market, that is one of the things you can do get over into servicing that market too.
Yes, the market for cemetery property is co-extensive with the population and it is always surprising to find out in any kind of a survey how large a percentage of the population is currently unsupplied. While we were operating West View in Atlanta a leading minister of the South, Dr. Louis Newton, lived right across the street from me. I asked him down to speak to our salesmen one time. We have the kind of sales meeting, by the way, that a preacher can listen in on. Which reminds me that one time in Washington one of our sales ladies brought a very cultured woman; a prospect in to see me. The lady wanted to talk to the head man for some reason. Sitting at my desk, I was discussing the business with her, and along about the middle of my talk this prospect broke in and said, "Why did you quit preaching?" Before I could answer, the sales lady spoke up and said, "He didn't; you ought to come to the sales meetings sometimes." I know I sound like a preacher sometimes. The Book I quote so much (the Bible) is the greatest sales manual in the world. Back twenty-five years ago and more (in preacher days) I interpreted that Book in terms of getting to Heaven, wear¬ing a crown, growing some wings, and walking on the golden streets. But I have discovered through the years that the Bible has to do with everything that concerns us, every day of our life. The greatest sales literature in the world is there at your service. I recommend it to you.
Well, as I started to say, we had Dr. Newton over and he said to my sales force that morning, "You know I probably go out to West View Cemetery more than you do. I have had as many as five funerals in your cemetery in one day. I know it is a beautiful place; I know all of these physical facts you use in interesting buyers, but I know something else that you tell people and I know it to be true, terribly true, and that is that it is a terrible thing for a family to wait until the hour of need to make a decision about cemetery property. I, as the pastor of such people, go through their experience with them so frequently and I know how embarrassing it is financially and otherwise. I had a case like that," he said, "about a month ago. A family in my church who has little money had a death and I had to come in and counsel with them, even had to assist them financially, and it impressed itself so much on me that at my Board of Deacons meeting that night I got up and I said to these men, 'I want to ask you a question; it has nothing to do with the church's business.' (I told them about that family that did not have any cemetery property in their desperate need.) 'I want to ask you men tonight, forty-four of you, how many of you men, if that thing happened in your family next week, how many of you have a place for burial in Atlanta that you would be willing to use?' I said, 'I don't want to hear about a churchyard down in rural Georgia.' I said, 'You would want to bury where you live; how many of you have it all settled?' And you know, out of forty-four men present there were four hands went up. My church is a rich church. These 44 men were bankers, professional and business men, yet only four out of 44 were prepared in this vital matter."
Markets - why we haven't touched the market yet. I have been selling in Charlotte ten years and I have done right well. And yet there are more people living in Charlotte today without a cemetery lot than there were when I started ten years ago. The population increase in terms of families has exceeded all the sales that I and my competitors have made. Most of the towns that you represent would show the same record. This market not only grows by people coming in from the outside, but by growth from within. Every time there is a wedding there is a nucleus of a new home, a new family unit, a user of your product.
So much, and a great deal more, can be said about our market. A great deal already has been said this morning about methods, so well said in fact that I will not try to add anything. The market we face is a challenge. The methods by which we meet that challenge are many and varied. The men who have developed these successful marketing methods have no secrets. They gladly share with you their every successful idea.
One more thought before, I close, about the market. I think I told here of a visit I once made to Palestine, One afternoon while driving from Jerusalem to Jericho, along an ancient road this thing happened. About half-way to Jericho the professional guide (the Dragoman, they call them), pointed out the foun¬dation ruins of an old building and said, "That is the traditional location of the inn to which the Good Samaritan took the injured man he found along here." You will recall the story in the parable. Jesus was talking as he frequently did about "loving our neighbor." One of the hearers spoke up that day and said, "Lord, who is my neighbor?" He didn't answer him directly; but told this story about the man journeying on this highway who fell among thieves who robbed him and beat him and left him for dead. A priest came along (it wasn't a Cath¬olic priest; they didn't have Catholics in those days) and beheld the plight of the injured man but he couldn't be bothered.
Then the Levite passed along the road and he couldn't be bothered either. Then this Samaritan came long, a man from whom the injured Jew couldn't expect any help, but unexpectedly the Samaritan came over and gathered him up, ministered to him and took him to this inn. He even paid the injured man's bill at the inn and told the innkeeper if it wasn't enough, when he came along again he would pay the rest of it, He must have been a "traveling man." With that story Jesus answered the question, "Who is my neighbor?" "Your neigh¬bor," says the story "is anybody in need of a service that you have the power and the opportunity to render. All of this leads up to an answer for that eternal and everlasting question of salesmen.
Who is my prospect? He is any and every family in your community in need of that "protection" which before need ownership of cemetery property renders. That usually averages seventy, eighty percent of the people in your community who have not settled this matter yet. They are prospects; they are a challenge to you. In them a job is cut out for you. You could do them no greater kindness than to lead them into a pre-need purchase of cemetery property against the day of need. There is your prospect field. There is your potential market. How are you going to get to it?
My watch says I haven't got time to talk about it now. Somebody said recently that no speech was altogether bad if it was brief enough" and I am afraid this one wasn't brief enough. I remember, too, the, salesman's prayer: "Lord, fill my mouth with useful stuff and close it when I've said enough." We of the top brass of sales management frequently set a very bad example.
I congratulate you on the fact that you are in the business that you are. I have, done other things besides cemetery work. I was once president of a woman's college; can you imagine that? I taught women logic. If that won't put you m the cemetery business, I don t know what will. Outsiders often think that ours is a depressing sort of business. There is nothing of gloom, nothing of somberness in the prosecution of our work. We have the happy satisfaction every time we sell a lot; every time we sell some mausoleum space that we have rendered that family a service that endures through the whole existence of that family. It may be five years, ten years or twenty years before they ever use the lot, and they will forget our name and our face, but when the time comes when they first use that lot and every time thereafter, they are going to be profoundly grateful to the fellow who sold them. I like that kind of a business the kind of business that always renders a service immeasurably greater than the amount of dollars involved.
Whether you are on the West Coast or here in the great Middle West where I grew up or whether you are in the East, or up in New England or down South, it is the same story. Twenty-five or thirty years ago the Memorial Park was an untried experiment, a cemetery without tombstones. People had been putting tombstones in cemeteries for ten thousand years. "You can't change a custom as old as that," so they said to us. We did.
It is a long way we have traveled since the experimental days of thirty years ago. We have made mistakes along the way, and for many of them we are sincerely sorry. None of us is as smart as all of us, and we come to these meet¬ings to learn from each other. One thing about cemetery folks, they are always ready to give out, to share any experiences, any success, any new gadget or gimmick - Forest Lawn with all its international fame is here in the person of its founder, telling us how they do it and inviting you to take and profit by their long and successful experience.
In Chicago a number of years ago I was operating a couple of cemeteries for the late Jacob Rothschild, and it used to break his heart that others who were new in this work visited us, sat in our meetings, copied our plans. "Doc, you run a university; why don't you charge tuition; why don't you make these fellows pay for this information?" I always replied, "Jake, it doesn't impoverish me at all for them to carry ideas away." Through all the years we have shared our literature, our ideas, our plans and even our building plans. Anything that I have you are welcome to if you can use it. God bless you in your work.

The Cilley Hill Pumpkin glow
The pumpkin glow, (a.k.a The Cilley Hill Pumpkin glow) will take place October 30th & the 31st on Cilley Hill Road. On these two nights nearly 400-600 carved pumpkins are lit by Jericho residents Ann and Richard Stiles.
They grow around 400 to 600 pumpkins each year for the annual pumpkin glow, which takes place after sundown on Cabbage Night and Halloween. You can view more pictures of my different pumpkin festival pictures on my art gallery.
I received this email and wanted to make a clarification. This pumpkin festival is all private and done by local families living along Cilley Hill road. There are no vendors or games, food or porta potties. Albert sent me a note asking what time the pumpkin festival in Jericho (VT) started..
They light them (the pumpkins)at dusk (5ish) but they are all in place at the moment. (seeing that this is the 31st and it started last night) I go early and find a parking place nearby and then I observe as the sun sets and more and more people drive by. There is no parking on Cilley Hill road, so unless you know someone along the road you will have to park out along the main road and walk in. Most people just stay in their cars and drive by. Slowing or stopping for a quick glance. Many others will walk in with kids in tow and even strollers… to view the pumpkins.. a few images from last night were put up on the New England Photographers Guild facebook page this morning.

DIY :: Gold Nugget Magnets
Hi friends! I got this idea in my head about making magnets for my refrigerator. Now, our fridge is painted with chalkboard paint so we don't keep too much stuff hanging there (we write notes instead!) but I still needed something cute for the occasional memento. All of the magnets I found were generic or bland and rather than spend money buying something I didn't necessarily love, I decided to look around at what I had readily available and make it happen myself. Some foraging with my daughter for the "perfect nugget rocks" and a trip to the garage provided all the tools I needed to make what we like to call "Gold Nuggets."
The items you will need are:
- gold metallic spray paint (so, so handy for whenever the crafting mood strikes you)
- rocks
- magnets (available at any craft store)
- glue (I used a hot glue gun but any strong adhesive will do)
Lay out your rocks somewhere outdoors with the proper ventilation. Spray one side, let them dry and flip them over.
Spray the other side and continue to let dry, rotate, and spray until all sides are covered. The paint dries quickly so this doesn't take too long.
Next, find the flattest surface of the rock and glue the magnet to the back. Look for some strong magnets because you want something that will actually be able to hold the rock up without sliding down the fridge.
Voila! A fridge full of gold nuggets!
I am so happy with the way it turned out. Given that I am not much of a "traditional" magnet type of gal, these are fun and unique enough to actually make me want to hang things on my refrigerator.
I hope you enjoyed my burst of gold inspiration and if you have any great ideas for making refrigerator magnets, let us know in the comments. I would love some fresh ideas!
xo, Miss Krista
I love homemade magnets!
HOW on earth/what on earth did you cover your fridge with? Or did it come like that?!
Did you have to sand it down or anything? Any tips? Will do mine!!!
The main problem lies in where the fungus is living: under the nail.

Using ASP and WordPress together
I am being asked at work to update/upgrade their website using WordPress while using their ASP site for people when they log in or when they look for our services (car rentals, vacation packages, airplane tickets, etc). Is there a way to connect these two? Can they run in the same server? and last but not least, can I connect them just using the API or some XML stuff?

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Kelly Clarkson says it "sucks" that four unfinished songs have leaked to the Internet.
The new material recently surfaced on Los Angeles-based music blog Pretty Much Amazing. The four songs -- "Close Your Eyes," "Ready," "One Day," and "With a Little Bit of Luck" -- have varying sound quality, indicating that the tracks are in different stages of the recording process.
"I write all the time -- lots of stuff not meant to ever be released, just working on ideas," the inaugural "American Idol" champ told Billboard.com of the leaked work. "The fact that people have heard music that's not ready yet sucks, but I hope they like it."
In the wake of last year's well-documented public feud between Clarkson and label boss Clive Davis over the dark nature of the material for her third album, "My December," it seems Clarkson may be heading in another new direction. The singer has reached out to Nashville in the last year, most notably through budding relationships with Reba McEntire and Martina McBride. The folksy arrangements of the new tunes suggest a bare-bones, country approach.
Only "With a Little Bit of Luck" continues with the dark rock sound favored on "My December," suggesting it could be an outtake from those sessions.
Blog editor Luis Tovar says his traffic skyrocketed this week, both with fans looking to hear the tunes, as well as staunch defenders of Clarkson's right to keep her work private.
"The 'Crazy Clarkson Fans,' as one person called them, were amusing at first, annoying later," Tovar told Billboard.com. "But it's great to see the brand loyalty out there. These people are ready to go to war for Clarkson. It's kind of cute, almost."
Tovar said he did not know the songs' origins, saying only that a friend passed him a disc that contained them.
Having completed a tour with McEntire, Clarkson is scheduled to perform April 19 for Pope Benedict XVI during his scheduled New York visit.

Former New Zealand rep Daniel Pearce has made the cut by one shot at the North and South Amateur at Pinehurst No.8 in North Carolina.
The Ashburton golfer, who earlier this year won the North Island Stroke Play at Lochiel Golf Club, fired rounds of 73 and 74 to finish on a five over par total and in a nine-way share of 60thplace.
He will begin round three nine shots back from the American leaders Peter Williamson and Thomas Bradshaw who are on a four under par total.
Pearce is looking to press his claims for the New Zealand team to contest the Eisenhower World Team's Championship in Turkey which will be named by New Zealand Golf later this month.

Police have launched an investigation into the death of Folole Muliaga, 44, on Tuesday in Auckland, which happened less than two hours after state-owned Mercury Energy cut power to her house.
Mercury Energy's general manager, James Moulder, said the company was devastated by the woman's death and was conducting its own investigation.
Ms Muliaga, a teacher with four children aged five to 20, had been on sick leave since February and fell behind with her payments to Mercury, said Brenden Sheehan, a relative who provided a copy of the bill. On May 23, six days before a Mercury Energy worker arrived at the house to disconnect the electricity, she was in arrears.
Mr Sheehan claimed both Ms Muliaga and her son had told the technician she was dependent on the oxygen machine to stay alive and invited him into the house to see it, so he knew the situation. "Then he cut the power off," he said.
Almost immediately, Ms Muliaga began having difficulty breathing, became faint and then collapsed, he said. Paramedics were unable to revive her.
Mr Moulder said Mercury restored electricity yesterday after learning of the woman's death, and that the grieving family had spent a night without power.
Mr Moulder said the company was checking reports that it had been warned Ms Muliaga needed power for the oxygen machine. "More than one" disconnection notice had been sent to Ms Muliaga's address over a six to seven-week period, he said.

Indiana Army National Guard
INDIANAPOLIS - The 38th Infantry Division held a promotion and change of command ceremony at the Division's parade field Sunday, Oct. 19, 2008.
Division Guardsmen stood in formation and presented their flags as Indiana's Adj. Gen, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger promoted Brig. Gen. Tod Carmony to major general before the change of command took place.
Carmony was the assistant commander for support of the 38th before being chosen to head the outfit as the 19th commanding general of the division since World War II.
After the promotion, Umbarger had much praise to offer the division's new leader, stating, "No one has a better pedigree to follow General Moorhead," said Umbarger.
It's been almost three years since a new leader has assumed command of the 38th Infantry Division and the outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. Richard Moorhead welcomed Carmony to his new duty.
"The future is bright for the division. I know the 38th Division will be in good hands under the command of (Major) General Tod Carmony," said Moorhead, who is scheduled to retire in December.
Carmony spoke of how change of command ceremonies are like the military's equivalent of a big family reunion and how great it was to have all the family gathered together in Indianapolis at the home of the 38th Division.
"I am humbled by the faith and confidence that Maj. Gen. Umbarger and Maj. Gen. Moorhead, two great infantry commanders, have placed in me. It's an honor to join the ranks of 38th Division Commanders," said Carmony.

Records of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia Relating to Slaves, 1851-1963. NARA Publication M433.
Images from this microfilm publication reproduce all the records relating to slavery in the District of Columbia that were kept by the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia. These records include emancipation papers, 1857-63, manumission papers, 1851-63, and case papers relating to fugitive slaves, 1851-63.
An act of April 16, 1862, which abolished slavery in the District of Columbia, required loyal owners of freed slaves to file schedules of their slaves by July 15, 1862, in order to claim compensation. A supplementary act of July 12, 1862, permitted schedules to be filed by slaves whose former owners had neglected to file. The act also granted freedom to slaves whose owners lived outside the District of Columbia and who, with the owners' consent, were employed within the District after April 16, 1862.
The emancipation papers consist of these schedules, usually with notes giving dates when certificates of freedom were issued to former slaves. The manumission papers, 1851-63, record the voluntary freeing of slaves by their owners and in general they consist of schedules similar to those in the emanicipation papers.
Included in the court's records are a series of papers relating to fugitive slaves, 1851-63. Many of these cases contain only the warrants for arrest; others contain papers relating to proof of ownership.
The descriptive pamphlet for this title, published by NARA, is available here.

Martin Short, Christine Lahti and More Join Culture Project's THE EXONERATED
Culture Project (Allan Buchman, Founder & Artistic Director), in association with Innocence Project, Marc & Steven Kaplan, and Cheryl Wiesenfeld, welcomes Steve Earle (The Revolution Starts…Now, Grammy Award), John Forté (The Score, Grammy nominee), Kathryn Grody (Scapino), Marg Helgenberger ("CSI"), Christine Lahti (God of Carnage), Richard Masur (This is Fiction), Joe Morton (Raisin), Martin Short (The Goodbye Girl), Danton Stone (Ivan in Art), Frank Whaley ("Blue Bloods"), and exoneree Kerry Max Cook, whose story is shared in the play, to the rotating cast of the 10th anniversary production of the hit award-winning play, The Exonerated, written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, now in performance at Culture Project (45 Bleecker Street at Lafayette Street) where performances began September 15th for a limited seven-week engagement through November 4th.
The newest members of the rotating cast will appear, as scheduled:
October 9 -14 John Forté, Kathryn Grody, Richard Masur, Danton Stone
October 16-21 Kerry Max Cook, Steve Earle, Joe Morton, Martin Short
(Mr. Short will appear as Kerry Max Cook for three performances only
Oct 16, 17 & 18; Mr. Cook will portray himself October 19, 20 & 21)
October 23-28 Christine Lahti, Joe Morton, Frank Whaley
October 30 – November 4 Marg Helgenberger, Joe Morton, Chris Sarandon (returns)
Directed by Bob Balaban (Gosford Park), the core non-rotating company of six includes Jim Bracchitta (Gypsy) as Prosecutor 2. Amelia Campbell (Our Country's Good, A Streetcar Named Desire) as Sandra Cook, Bruce Kronenberg as Prosecutor 1, Curtis McClarin (Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk) as David Keaton, April Yvette Thompson (Clybourne Park) as Georgia Hayes, and JD Williams ("The Wire," "Oz") as Robert Earl Hayes. They have been joined onstage by rotating cast members Stockard Channing, Brian Dennehy, Delroy Lindo, Lyle Lovett, Michael McKean, Chris Sarandon, Brooke Shields and exoneree Sunny Jacobs, whose story is shared within the play.
2012 marks the 10th anniversary of Culture Project's New York premiere of The Exonerated, a ground breaking dramatization of the real-life stories of six individuals who were sentenced to death and later freed amidst overwhelming evidence of their innocence. It is a powerful play culled from interviews, letters, transcripts, case files and court records of individuals on death row. As timely as ever, The Exonerated is once again poised to increase visibility and to create a sense of urgency as part of a rising movement to restore justice to a system that has shown itself time and again to be deeply flawed. Since 1989, when the first DNA exoneration took place, an additional 292 post-conviction DNA exonerations have been won in 36 states.
"When authors Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen -- newly in love and wildly enthusiastic -- first approached me with their idea for The Exonerated I got chills," staTed Allan Buchman, Culture Project Founder & Artistic Director. He went on to add, "It occurred to me then that ideas like theirs were the reason to have a theater. There are 2.4 million people in the American prison system -- a population that is all but invisible to the general public. The Exonerated, with its narrative of struggle courage and hope, sheds crucial light on elements of our criminal justice system that must be changed. I believe that work this compelling can absolutely spur seismic and vital social change. Yes, this is the reason to have a theater, and how lucky for us that we have our theater back!"
The Exonerated premiered at Culture Project in October 2002 when it received critical acclaim and ran for over 600 performances. The New York Times declared, "How often do you feel that what you are seeing is a matter of life and death? Here we see six people who served hard, cruel time on death row before evidence proved them innocent. The stage is courtroom and living room; these people are intrusting their lives to us. Their stories intersect, but the differences between them strengthen the awful likeness that justice imposes when it is blind and deaf."
The Exonerated received the Lucille Lortel, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, Ovation, Fringe First and Herald Angel Awards, and was nominated for the Hull-Warriner Award and the John Gassner Playwriting Award. It also received awards from Amnesty International, the American Bar Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Death Penalty Focus, and Court TV, and was listed by the New York Times as "The Number 1 Play of 2002." It has been translated into Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese, and was made into an award-winning movie for Court TV adapted by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen , starring Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy, Aidan Quinn and Delroy Lindo.
The Exonerated plays the following performance schedule: Tuesday – Thursday at 8:00 p.m., Friday at 7:00 p.m., Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m.
Weekly Post Performance Talkbacks are scheduled on Tuesday evenings hosted by Ron Tabak and Thursday evenings hosted by Innocence Project.
Tickets are priced at $75 (Premium at $99), Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m. at $37.50 (Premium at $50) with student tickets at $30 and available online at cultureproject.org or via phone by calling OvationTix at (866) 811-4111. $5 of every full price ticket ($75 & $99 level) will go to a fund for the exonerees.

OSAKA (Kyodo) Prosecutors on Thursday arrested a former senior official of a government-endorsed association for mentally disabled people for allegedly embezzling ¥10 million.
Sadao Sotome, 58, a former deputy secretary general of Zenkoku Seishin Shogaisha Fukki Shisetsu Kyokai, is suspected of withdrawing the money from the group's bank account over several occasions and depositing it into his own account between 2005 and 2008, investigative sources said.
Tens of millions of yen in unspecified expenditures have been detected at the organization, where Sotome was in charge of accounting. It is believed he used the money for personal activities, including gambling.
Sotome and several senior officials told interviewers that some of the unexplained money was used for political donations, prompting a special investigation team from the Osaka District Public Prosecutor's Office to clarify the money flow, the sources said.
While admitting to withdrawing the association's money, Sotome denied in an interview that he used it privately.
The association was founded in 1990 with around 1,000 member groups operating facilities for the disabled and receives subsidies from the central government. It was approved by the old Health and Welfare Ministry in 1994 as a social welfare corporation that assists mentally disabled people.
It took over the operations of a facility housing a hotel with mentally disabled staff and a vocational training center in Tochigi Prefecture from another foundation in 2007, but closed the hotel and its main office in Tokyo last March due to financial difficulties.
An in-house probe by the association has found that some of the unspecified money was spent on tickets for fundraising parties for a former Liberal Democratic Party member of the Lower House and to buy coupons for goods for a former senior official at the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry.

A serious 2 Chainz walked into court today and pleaded "not guilty" to charges of felony drug possession.
It was reported last week 2 Chainz had been charged with felony drug possession, charges that stem from his arrest last year in LAX when TSA agents found the ingredients for sizzurp in his checked luggage.
According to TMZ, the ATL rapper was smacked with the felony charge last week and appeared briefly in an L.A. courtroom today for his arraignment. In a separate matter, the Hair Weave Killer is reportedly getting sued by a groupie the rapper and his crew made fun of on video. He's probably not sweating that one, though.
2 Chainz faces up to 3 years in prison if he is indeed convicted. Peep the video clip of him in action below. Sound off in the comments.

Ricky Martin is joining with a U.N.-affiliated migration organization to fight human trafficking in Colombia
Latin singer Ricky Martin shows his deep concern towards social matter by willingly joining a U.N.-affiliated migration organization to fight human trafficking in Colombia. "More than half of trafficking victims worldwide are children, forced into pornography, prostitution and labor servitude," he said. "Human trafficking is an unscrupulous market that generates around $10 billion annually."
Thus, to support the organization's program, Martin is slated to appear in TV commercials and provide support through his nonprofit foundation, the Ricky Martin Foundation. Focused on the dangers trafficking poses to Colombian children such as sexual exploitation, the commercials will begin airing next year. In addition to that, the organization also will publicize a new telephone hot line that provides assistance and information about trafficking in the country, the Geneva-based IOM said.

Ternopil region - Budaniv
Budanivskyy castle lies aside the traditional tourist routes, so his only visit the castle fans. Although the former fortress located Psychiatric Hospital, the castle is fully available for visits and relatively well preserved.
It is believed that by the middle of the XVI century in modern Budanov was a small settlement Skomros. It has long been held near two ways Horde - Black and Kuchmanskyy.
In 1549, King Sigismund Augustus allowed the privilege of his wife Galician magistrates Yakub Budzanivska Catherine of valve rename didychne village Skomorokhy (Skomros) Budzan the city. Sometimes the name associate with the word "bundz" - head of sheep cheese.
Around 1550 Galician governor Yacoub Budzanovskyy lifted high left bank of the Seret wooden fortress. In his honor settlement called Budzan, worn until 1946. The wooden castle was soon destroyed by the Tatars.
At the beginning of XVII century and Ian Martin Khodorovsky in place of destroyed wooden fortress built a stone castle. Rock of brownish-gray built from different-sized rough blocks and a raft of local limestone and sandstone. It was rectangular in plan with four round corner towers. It was the tallest building of the former town. Simultaneously with the construction of a new castle was founded in Khodorovsky Budzan Roman Catholic parish. The first stone church of the Holy Cross was probably destroyed by the Turks.
In 1631, the new owner was Alexander Budzanova Sinenskyy and later moved to the family settlement Levochynskyh. Castle twice destroyed Cossack Bohdan Khmelnytsky - in 1648 and 1651, respectively. Trying to restore it made the new owner Tomas Luzhetskyy. Luzhetskyy himself heroically died during the defense of the fortress from the Turks in 1672.
The castle was captured and destroyed by cunning the Turks in 1675. According to legend, local residents know in advance the approximation of the Turks from Terebovlia and hid by locking walls to the castle at night knocked a woman with a small child with a request to let the castle even a child. The attackers were still far away, so the defenders opened the gate. It was a catch: the Tatars invaded the castle through the gate of the ambush and massacred all the inhabitants. Defenders of the castle buried in the field "Pohyblytsya" near the castle, near the forest "Semankovym." Women and children buried separately, and men - including three large graves. At the cemetery and 79 graves are still preserved, and one of the three burials of male defenders is a stone with the inscription: "Here in this place called Pohlybytseyu, rest defenders from the Turks and Tatars in 1675 was."
Restored the castle in 1765, Eustace and Mary Potocki. They rebuilt it in the western part of the church. Peredsinok temple priests and arranged with two castle towers. The new church was consecrated in 1838 under the title of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. In 1846 and restored the northern part of the castle. Through the efforts Kulchytsky priest that same year the castle was given under the convent of mercy, which was at the school and hospital. Then restore one of the towers and part of the walls. This massive stone tower is well preserved until today.
The castle suffered greatly during both world wars. Do not preserved entrance gates, the remains of ramparts and ditches. At the tower, which serves as the church wall, miraculously preserved memorial table in honor of the 10th anniversary of restoration of the state.
Since 1956 to the present time the castle is psychiatric hospital. The church, which is in a dilapidated condition in 1994 returned to the Roman Catholic community. Continuing its revival.
In the former town, and today - the village, which in 1946 called "Budaniv" kept several mansions Austrian period and a couple of churches.
Inkerman. Cave monastery and fortress Kalamita
Inkerman. Cave monastery and fortress Kalamita
Imagine a high steep slopes of the hills are like a knife, cut huge slices, leaving a straight rock wall. And under the walls of the roads, houses ... Here the railway embankment and crosses churches, and on top, on a hill, high ruins of ancient fortresses. It looks very impressive. I even thought to go or not go. But everything happened by itself. Since I returned from Yalta to Sevastopol highway, Sevastopol decided to go round the district and from afar, not far from the road saw the ruins of the fortress Kalamita (before I saw them in the photo). So I realized that I got to Inkerman.
Fortress Kalamita. Gate tower and tower number 2
Monastery of St. Clement. Trinity Church
Plans Kalamita fortress and monastery (klykabelni). The second scheme is a guide: Crimea эkskursyonnыy. Virtual Tours. 50 popular routes. - Edition of "Bibleks", 2009.
Inkerman is situated near the mouth of Black River (where it forms a bay). Until 1991 this city was called Bilokamyensk, and from 1957 to 1976 it was all part of Sevastopol. Although a separate settlement existed here long before founded Sevastopol. It was called Kalamita and was a great fortress of the Greek Byzantine principality Theodoro.
Theodore, as a separate state, emerged in the 12th century. The capital city of the principality was Mangup. It stirred a constant struggle with Genoa colonies, for the right to own pivdennokrymskym coast. With the rising principality guarded fortress Funa, from the West - Kalamita. Last time was considered the main trading port and principality, although the port is situated at the mouth of Black about a kilometer from the castle, was called Avlita.
Toponym "Kalamita" translate differently. From the Greek it is "beautiful cape" from the Greek - "cane", although there are other interpretations.
Gate tower and tower number 2
Fortress Kalamita and lodging beneath its walls were large dump in trade south of the north. Therefore, the Genoese felt Kalamitu dangerous competitor to its own port, which was located in Chembalo (now Balaklava). They repeatedly attacked the fortress feodorytiv and even captured and burned it in 1433 year. Theodoro and repelled Kalamitu rebuilt, but in 1475 the Turks captured the fortress and it has long Turkish.
Turks has rebuilt the fortress and renamed it. The new name - Inkerman ("mountain fortress") was a fortress with a large number of caves located around. Caves, these were mostly artificial, formed by extraction of white stone.
Fortress Kalamita and Turkish Inkerman - very different fortifications. Kalamita had thin walls (thickness of about a meter), which covers that thin parapet. The soldiers moved along the walls of a wooden platform. The fortress had five rectangular napivbasht. Moore and napivbashty have been executed in limy solution. Rowe were absent.
Turks has rebuilt the castle. Moore potovschyly twice (in the outer side), napivbashty also strengthened and closed from the back side, cut down dry moat, barbican built. Above the tunnel gate was built artillery casemate.
The current Kalamita - a dilapidated tower and worthless remnants of walls, shallow stone trench from cave-casemates and a large wooden cross at the spot where once stood a church. There is a cave monastery, just below the fortress, but about it later. All this with one hand under the mountain, surrounds railway embankment, on the other - deep terraced pit. Although looks Kalamita not cloudy. Here are sad and lifeless ruins, and these cheerful and optimistic. Romantic.
Rock, on which stand the remains of the fortress, now called the monastery. Fortress hedge extreme limits of the rock out of the sides, where it is accessible to pedestrians. And from the cliffs to climb the slope is not possible, so there is no fortifications.
The road to the castle is now passing through a tunnel under the railway embankment. Then it rapidly through the old cemetery deretsya up and rests in the Gate Tower, which stands on the edge of precipices bahatometrovoho. The next tower (№ 2) is 12 meters from the Gate. From the beginning it carved in stone dry moat-trap of the cave, which served as such a pillboxes.
Tower number 3 corner, so it is very powerful and has dimensions 12h13 meters in the plan. Features of its construction it is difficult to understand, because tower is spoiling (almost completely). Tower is the forward line the walls and had flankuvaty ditch.
Barbican (tower number 4)
Tower number 4 the best preserved, so it is most interesting. The ruling by the moat, the tower acted as barbican and was virtually independent fortress building. With its main wall connecting the wall, laid across the ditch. Top of this wall of soldiers could move from the tower to the castle and back. In the 18th century tower number 4 located prison. Previously it was two more towers, but few of them left.
Also in Kalamitu are the remains (actually only foundations), the medieval Christian church. We built it feodoryty, well, probably destroyed by the Turks, although it is not known exactly.
In the 17th century Inkerman turned into a great city and great shopping center. Through him there was trade with the South Coast of Crimea. Fortress at the time were very strong, but it could seize and destroy the Cossacks (but who - unknown). Then, of course, the castle rebuilt.
In 1773 zyomochna Party of Russian warships led by navigator I. Baturina, was the first plan of Inkerman. According to the plan inside the fortress were seven houses, and around her stood another 50 houses, united in eight quarters. Under the mountain village was located with the same name as the fortress - Inkerman. It was another 30 houses.
The regular Russian troops first appeared in the spring of Inkerman in 1777. They stayed here for two years. Under the guidance of legendary General Suvorov Russians have built a number of coastal batteries (incl. in and Inkerman). But in 1779 the army of Suvorov left Inkerman, and destroyed the fortifications (to not got to the Turks).
The ruins of the fortress Kalamita (German photo 1942)
After joining the Crimea to Russia in 1783 Inkerman fortress lost its importance, although it still features military had to perform. So in the years 1854-1856, during the Crimean War and the heroic defense of Sevastopol, was Kalamita foothold Inkerman position of Russian troops. And during the second defense of Sevastopol during the Great Patriotic War on the monastery hill steadily held the position of fighters 25th Chapayevsk strilkovoi Division. At the foot of the mountain, the monastery of Saint Clement is now a monument to the heroic archers.
Monastic rock riddled with large number of caves. In one of them still in 7-9 centuries was founded monastery of St. Clement the Pope. This saint was one of the first popes and died a martyr's death at the hands of the Chersonese Roman soldiers emperor Trajan (it drowned, tied to stone anchors).
The monastery consisted of three cave temples, the largest of which was the church of St. Clement. There was a monastery in 1485. Then, under pressure from the Turkish garrison of Inkerman, the monks left the monastery.
Monastery of St. Clement now and in the early twentieth century.
In 1852 at the initiative of Archbishop Innokenty in caves again opened a small monastery - Inkerman kinoviyu in the name of St. Clement. At the time of the Crimean War the monastery was closed again, but was revived in 1867. Then restored the three cave church, built above ground church - Trinity, and erected a house prior. Later, after the miraculous salvation of the Emperor Alexander III, under the mountain built another temple ground - St. Panteleimon, and in 1907 the Monastery on top of the mountain in memory of the Crimean War built the church of St. Nicholas. This church has not survived, although the German defense of Sevastopol photo period (probably 1942) the ruins of the church still stands as the ruins of several buildings.
From the cave temples on the mountain were Monastyrysk prorubani unique in the rock stairs. They exist today.
Monastery of St. Clement
The monastic complex of monks returned after the Soviet collapse. Began restoration of the monastery. Church of the Holy Trinity and restored prior quarters. Destroyed during the Soviet period the temple of St. Panteleimon rebuilt "from scratch". Restoration work conducted in the cave temples.
It was in the monastery of another church - St. Yevhrafiya. To establish this temple in the 13th century and early 20th - restored. But in the Soviet period, during the development of limestone quarry, a unique temple with the remains of medieval frescoes, completely covered with soil.
The complex of the monastery of St. Clement and Kalamita castle, located above the monastery, is a very interesting and spectacular tourist attraction. On occasion must go! We recommend.

Chicago teen again accused of impersonating officer
CHICAGO — A Chicago man who as a 14-year-old fooled a station full of police officers into letting him drive a squad car is now accused of trying to pass himself off as an officer to buy police clothing, equipment and even a badge.
Vincent Richardson, now 19, appeared in court on Thursday on a felony charge of impersonating a peace officer and was allowed to be released on his promise to appear in court Aug. 15. Richardson didn't enter a plea; a $25,000 bond was issued, which he will owe if he doesn't make his court appearances.
Richardson was arrested Tuesday afternoon after he went to a Chicago police uniform store — dressed in what looked like police-issue cargo pants and a white shirt — and tried to buy other uniform items, including a nylon utility belt, cargo pants and cargo shorts.
Richardson told the store employee he was an officer, assigned to the 7th District on the city's South Side, Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti said Thursday. But before the purchase could be made, and for a reason Antonietti didn't explain, Richardson walked out of the store without the merchandise — or his ID.
A store employee did some investigating: "He Googled the defendant's name," Antonietti told the judge.
What the employee read about unfolded on Jan. 24, 2009, when Richardson walked into a station on the city's South Side, dressed head-to-toe in a police uniform. He was convincing enough that he was issued a radio, assigned a squad car and told to hit the streets with another officer.
Richardson spent about five hours on patrol — two behind the wheel of the police cruiser — and even helped arrest a suspect who allegedly violated a protection order.
Richardson was dubbed "Kid Cop," but the police department received the bulk of the media's attention, with a livid then-Mayor Richard Daley and former police Superintendent Jody Weis wondering how a 14-year-old boy who didn't even have a driver's license could pass himself off as a police officer. Several officers were disciplined, and several were given a refresher course in recognizing police impersonators.
The uniform store employee read enough of Richardson's story to pick up the phone and call police. When Richardson returned later Tuesday, real officers were waiting to arrest him.

The Adventures of Billy and Gizmo
Post-Halloween Huntings
This project was originally intended to have been uploaded on Halloween but I had a few delays, but here it is now!
Chapter 1
An Unfortunate Incident
Many years after their reunion in New York City, Billy Peltzer and his furry friend Gizmo were getting on extremely well together.
Gizmo was a mogwai, a creature that had a nice blend of brown and white fur, long ears with the tips curved and huge dark brown eyes that sparkled in the dimly lit garage where he rested his sweet head against the back of the open wooden box in which Billy kept him in.
Everyone who had seen Gizmo remarked about him with comments like "he's dead cute" but Billy had been keeping him hidden away from most people in his ordinary day to day life as an architect, designing structures and development proposals for town planners and building contractors worldwide.
Billy however didn't like travelling very much especially outside the states and had recently moved back to Kingston Falls, Ohio as he regularly had to care for Gizmo for there are three very imperative rules that needed to be followed...
1) Keep him away from bright lights, especially sunlight for it will kill him, 2) Keep him away from water, don't ever get him wet, and most importantly, 3) Never ever feed him after midnight.
Beacause of the difficulites Billy was faced with and his commitments to caring for Gizmo he usually submitted work abroad by post instead of contacting the clients directly, he was told by the management at a firm in nearby Cleveland that only if there was a major redevelopment scheme being planned would he have to travel abroad, fortunately he had not had to deal with such a project just yet.
Billy was pleased with the work he had achieved over the years to this stage in architecture having been a designer for many years and having worked briefly with Daniel Clamp, however he was feeling a little lonely in his life. His ex-girlfriend Kate had left him some time ago because she felt there was too much risk with Gizmo being around that there would be an ountbreak of those dreaded Gremlins! despite Billy's attempts to convince her there would be no further problems.
So Billy was sat at his desk in the living room at his home in the quaint little town, Kingston Falls working on a new assignment.
Tonight was Halloween, Billy on a few occasions this evening had been distracted from his work by the usual trick-or-treaters that called round to his house on this very evening, he had left several snacks out by the hallway for the expected local kids dressed in scary cloaks, face masks, devil horns and some wearing vampire blood and fangs.
Unexpectedly it had begun to rain quite heavily after what only seemed like light drizzle falling from the skies.
Gizmo leaned back in his box and began singing and humming a sweet tune to himself, a delicious tone to his voice and he daydreamed happy memories from this earlier life and of people that had cared for him.
He excitedly perked up at the thought that Billy would soon be there to feed him his evening meal.
All of a sudden there was a shuddering knock on the front door of Billy Peltzer's house.
Gizmo in the garage that is a storage area really built as an extension to the house, blanched and listened quietly to what was happening outside.
Billy in his work space however was so preoccupied with his work and with the sound of heavy rainfall thundering down outside failed to hear this, there was another knock and outside was disgruntled trick-or-treaters getting soaked.
Billy heard this time and slowly got up out from in front of his desk however it occured to him that he had run out of treats and wasn't anticipating there being anymore of them calling round at this time, "damn" he thought to himself, "It's getting late" he looked at the digital clock resting on his mantlepiece it read 20:00.
Back in the garage Gizmo slowly climbed out of the box and up by the window to investigate what was happening and as he did so he heard angry voices from outside, "There's an unruly crowd of kids hanging around" thought Gizmo nervously.
The kids became infuriated, one lad called George found a relatively large stone on the patio outside Billy's garden which he picked up and after more continuous knocking the kids started to back away and move on down the street, however George stayed behind and lobbed the stone through the garage window.
"Bang!" and the window fell right through upon impact.
Gizmo heard the crash as the window shattered and leaped onto the floor terrified however the noise wasn't too loud and Billy didn't come to investigate, he heard a slight noise that sounded to him like breaking glass as he yawned in his chair but shrugged it off, "probably neighbours" he told himself as he settled back down and continued working on a new design.
Meanwhile in the garage Gizmo was hidden from view underneath a ledge directly below the window, a few shards of glass had fallen on top of Gizmo's head but that was the least of his worries for there was rainwater slowly trickling down the ledge as the rain pounded it violently.
Gizmo was really frightened now, he knew he had to get away just in case he got damp, "Just one drop of water is enough..." and he shivered at the thought. He tried to shrink away from the danger but couldn't, it seemed impossible as the water began to drip from the ledge, he knew if he moved he would get wet, Gizmo just waited and hoped he might stay dry.
Then suddenly it came very quickly in heavy spurts and the ultimate fear consumed Gizmo, it was coming, it was COMING!
(Oooooh Will Gizmo get out of this one, I think you all know what is going to happen.)
Update coming very shortly
