|mod_aspdotnet orphaned?
|Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:48:02 GMT
Hello all, I've been using mod_aspdotnet for a few months now, in a serious project. On the whole it works well. We use the IHttpHandler interface exclusively, for full control, portability, and lots of speed. There are no "pages" or "scripts" in our application. So I was just browsing the developer list archive to see if the module was about to be upgraded for .NET 2.0. But, lo, it looks like it might be abandoned soon! I'm saddened to see that. This module positions Apache as a (quite good) head-to-head competitor to IIS for the current and next generations of web development worldwide. This module is the one and only reason Apache is used in our project, and the reason I intend to pursue some donation $$$ for the ASF. If the support for it disappears, I don't see much of an alternative for continued use with Apache. (Of course I'm open to suggestions on that.) I might offer to contribute to the effort, but I've never had to compile the module. I'm not even sure that I can. I did look over the source code a while back to find out some of the details for our purposes. But as a .NET developer I'm unfamiliar with the Apache API(s) and coding practices. -- Mark Hubbard: email@example.com Software Product Manager iCyt Visionary Bioscience

Tensions ran high between police and protesters, resulting in a few arrests and scattered scuffles. The Friday protests came a day after a sniper killed five police officers during a demonstration in Dallas.
Crowds gathered for an interfaith prayer vigil in Dallas to honor the police officers
Protesters across the nation marched mostly peacefully, decrying police brutality over the killing of two African-American men this week.
They wept, held signs and chanted, "Black Lives Matter."
Black Lives Matter condemned the violence in the Dallas attack, calling the attack a tragedy not just for those affected but the nation as well.
"Black activists have raised the call for an end to violence, not an escalation of it. Yesterday's attack was the result of the actions of a lone gunman. To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible. We continue our efforts to bring about a better world for all of us."
#BlackLivesMatter advocates dignity, justice and freedom. Not murder.— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) July 8, 2016
Friday's anti-police brutality demonstrations were held in several cities including Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, New Orleans, Nashville, Phoenix, San Francisco and New York.
The protests erupted this week after videos surfaced showing two African-American men, Alton Sterling andPhilando Castile, who were shot by police in Louisiana and Minnesota. Their deaths along with several African-Americans before them, spurred debate over the police use of force and questions over racial profiling.
In Phoenix, confrontations broke out between protesters and police, CNN affiliate KPHO reported.
During the protests, police formed a human shield to block demonstrators from blocking a freeway, Derek Staahl, a reporter with the affiliate told CNN.
It led to a tense standoff between police and protesters as several stood directly in front of the officers raising both hands in the "Don't shoot" gesture.
Local reporters said police used pepper spray, aggravating the protesters even more. Affiliate video showed demonstrators covering their eyes and faces, sprawled on the ground in pain.
Protesters appeared to retaliate by screaming expletives and hurling rocks and other objects at the police. As it neared midnight, the Phoenix crowd had mostly splintered off and a police helicopter hovered overhead, warning them to go home.
In Chicago, a "die-in" was held near President Barack Obama's residence there and demonstrators also gathered in front of the White House. In Washington, prominent African-American congressmen, including Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon, joined the protests.
"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, we have a moral obligation to stand up," he told the crowd who marched from the White House to the Capitol building.
In Baton Rouge, where Alton Sterling was fatally shot Tuesday, protesters marched near the police headquarters.
About 300 protesters faced officers in riot gear under heightened tensions. Community leaders and local officials tried to calm down the crowd by forming a line between police and the crowd. Tempers flared when several protesters hurled plastic bottles of water and cups of ice at police.
Most demonstrators dispersed later in the evening only after police agreed to pull away cops in riot gear and rifles.
In San Francisco, people rallied in front of the waterfront holding signs that read: "Stop racist police terror in the U.S." They marched down a major street, closely watched by police officers yelling: "If we don't get no justice, we don't get no peace."
Protesters in Oakland had blocked a highway early Friday morning, blocking traffic on both sides.
In Atlanta, a crowd of about 2,000 people blocked a downtown interstate ramp during a march organized by the NAACP.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed tweeted that "less than 10 people arrested" in the march.
Reed, who attended the march, told CNN's Don Lemon that peaceful protesters in the city are practicing their First Amendment right.Today we have had less than ten people arrested during what has been a peaceful protest. We urge anyone protesting not to enter the highway.— Kasim Reed (@KasimReed) July 9, 2016
Young black people today have higher expectations, which is a sign of progress, he said.
"One of the things that is exciting about this protest tonight. Our young people have an expectation that they will be treated fairly and justly ... Every generation makes their demands."
"Their tolerance level is much different to perhaps my parents' generation or their parents generation." he added.
Reed said that while his father instructed him to go out of his way to be deferential and compliant in any encounters with police, "this generation has a different expectation."
"My dad grilled into me the lesson of driving a vehicle as as black man. Keep your hands on the steering wheel. Look forward and say, 'yes sir' or 'ma'am' to the police officer. Place your wallet in the seat beside you. Ask for permission to do anything because he was concerned about me living. He just wanted me to get home safe."
Reed revealed that last year, Atlanta law enforcement fired their weapons less than 10 times in 1.6 million interactions.
"We have to respect the 99.9% of law enforcement officials who do good everyday but we have to act decisively when individuals in the law enforcement community do wrong," Reed said.

A few days back, it was reported that Salman Khan has resumed his shoot for Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' in Kashmir. Now, we hear that the actor recently shot for the film in the snowy heights of Zoji La, a pass on the Srinagar-Leh highway.
Director Kabir Khan took to the microblogging site Twitter and posted, "Minus 2 degrees... 11700 ft above sea level.. Zoji La pass.. Kashmir #BajrangiBhaijaan."
'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' will show Salman Khan in a different avatar, yet retaining his commercial value. The film, directed by Kabir Khan, deals with the topic of love jihad. It stars Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Salman will be singing a qawwali number too for this film. It is touted to be an Eid release.

Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways said on Monday that Regional Transport Offices (RTO) will soon be scrapped. This decision made by the Central government, will work on replacing RTOs with an efficient alternate system in the next few months.
Gadkari, in a recent lecture said that there are a few outdated laws and systems that need to be scrapped. Systems like RTOs will soon be gone as there is no need for them. We have prepared a law which will be introduced very soon to replace RTOs.

In regards to harassment that the public undergo there, Gadkari said that money rules in RTOs. He says there will be new technologies introduced to nab traffic violators and the Government is following countries like the UK for traffic models.
Traffic offenders will receive notices to their doorstep and fines should be paid directly to the court. In case the violators want to argue in court and lose, they will end up paying three times the price he says.
The Union Minister says NGOs and a few social organisations are the biggest hurdles as they stop developments and get too much media coverage. He says a lot of infrastructure plans are pending due to no clearance from the forest and environmental department.
Since land acquisition has become a tedious job, he says there are lots of major road projects also that are pending.
Gadkari says that he had promised the Prime Minister a growth of 2 percent in GDP from the port and road sector. He says there are high expectations and everybody eagerly awaiting these new projects and changes to take place.

South American Camelids
Camels Move On
What most people think of as camels—dromedaries and Bactrians—are so firmly associated with the deserts of Africa and Asia that it is hard to believe they have close relatives in South America. Camelids originated in North America 40 to 45 million years ago, then evolved on the continent's grasslands into a diverse array of forms, including the gazelle-like Stenomylus, the giraffe-like Aepycamelus, and the nearly 12-foot-tall Titanotylopus, which resembled today's Old World camels. William Franklin, professor emeritus at Iowa State University in Ames, says, "At one time, there were probably several dozen genera of camelids in North America. In some areas, they were surely the dominant large herbivores." Then, six to three million years ago, opportunities for leaving their homeland arose when the Earth's climate cooled and sea levels fell, exposing land bridges to the south between Panama and South America, and to the north across the Bering Strait between Alaska and Asia.
Those that migrated north, from a "tribe" of camels called the Camelini, spread across Eurasia and eventually evolved into several species including the dromedaries and Bactrians we know today. The Lamini tribe went south and evolved into, among others, the vicuñas and guanacos of South America, and most recently their domestic forms, alpacas and llamas.
The camelids remaining in North America persisted until near the end of the Pleistocene epoch between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago, when like so many other large mammals they went extinct due to human overhunting, climate change, introduced diseases, or some combination of these factors. Except for the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) and guanaco (Lama glama), South American camelids went extinct about the same time. Some Eurasian camel species may have survived a bit longer, but today only domestic dromedaries, domestic Bactrians, and a handful of wild Bactrians (Camelus bactrianus) remain.
Even though the Old World Camelini and New World Lamini diverged about 11 million years ago, many similarities remain. All of the camelids are herbivores living in open habitats from savanna grassland to desert, and their split upper lip helps them grasp and tear off bits of grass or leaves. They also possess long necks, slender heads, long eyelashes, padded feet with two toes, and the ability to get by without much water. They can "kneel" on their hind legs when they sit down, unlike cows and horses.
All camelids also have a three-chambered stomach. Food goes to the first stomach chamber where it is partially digested, then regurgitated—in other words, camelids "chew the cud" just as cows do. The cud is swallowed and moves through the next two chambers to be fully digested. This complex digestive system ekes out as much energy as possible from diets that are mostly grass.
When defending themselves or fighting for dominance, camelids spit the contents of their mouth or a foul-smelling fluid from the first chamber of their stomach. Another behavior all camelids share is their curious walking gait, whereby their legs on each side move in unison rather than alternating, as do those of most other four-legged mammals.
There are differences too, the most obvious being that South American camelids have no humps, and are much smaller than Old World camels. While dromedaries and Bactrians weigh in at 1,000 pounds, the heaviest South American camelid, the domestic llama, weighs only about 185 to 300 pounds.
South American camelids also have adaptations that allow them to thrive at high elevations. Their thick wool coats keep them warm, and their extra-large hearts and lungs keep their bodies well-supplied with oxygen in the thin air. And, although they're tremendously useful to people, New World camelids are not nearly so famous as their Old World counterparts.
South American Camels
The South American camels did not develop humps, but there can be no mistake about their family origin if the head of the llama is studied and then compared to that of the 'true camel'.
Of the four members of the camel family in South America, two are domesticated and two are wild animals. The domesticated forms are the llama and alpaca. The llama is used as a pack animal, but it is also bred for its wool and its tender meat. Its dung is used as fuel in areas where there is little timber. The alpaca is bred for its superb wool. Wool from the alpaca was once used to weave robes for the Inca noblemen.
The guanaco is a wild member of the South American camel quartet and it still survives in reasonable numbers in the mountains of Peru and Ecuador and in the hills and plains of Patagonia.
Smallest of all camels is the vicuna. This animal stands only 90cm (30 ins) at the shoulder and weighs no more than 50kg (110lb). Once widespread on the higher plains of the Andes, the vicuna has been seriously reduced in numbers due to over-hunting. Thanks to careful protection and conservation this species has been brought back from the very brink of extinction, but it must still be regarded as a threatened wild animal in need of full protection
Inka Empire and the Camels
Llamas and alpacas are inextricably intertwined with the rise and spread of the Inca Empire, which began to grow in the Peruvian Andes about 1200 C.E. The Inca built beautiful and sturdy walls, buildings, and towns of interlocking stone. They built irrigation systems to keep entire valleys green in the arid environment. And they built 14,000 miles of roads that crisscrossed the empire and eventually extended about 3,400 miles, from Ecuador south to central Chile and parts of Argentina.
Llamas and alpacas were with them every step of the way. Llamas carried materials for building roads, temples, and irrigation canals; baskets of gold and silver out of mines; and cargo for trade. These surefooted animals with padded feet transported whatever needed moving in a society that never invented wheels, perhaps because wheels were far less effective in steep rocky terrain than animals adapted to walking on such rough ground.
Alpacas were prized for their fine and fluffy wool, from which the Inca fashioned tunics, tapestries, twine, rope, and bags. Men wore wool tunics and women wrapped themselves in larger pieces of wool fabric. But clothes were not just for keeping warm in the cold mountain air. Detailed patterns in a variety of colors spelled out the ethnic group and class of the wearer. Leaders exchanged finely woven clothes to keep the peace. The most beautiful articles of wool clothing were used to dress religious figurines that were burned as offerings to the gods.
Moore says, "We know that cloth and stuff made out of cloth has been very important in the Andes over the years as trade and exchange items, and as a way of showing the symbols of the world you belong to, your beliefs, your rank in society. The earliest cloth we have is already studded with messages." Today, people of the Andes continue to produce colorful and intricately patterned ponchos and hats from the wool of alpacas and llamas.
Alpacas and llamas also supported the Inca Empire with meat, leather, fat for food and candles, pelts for blankets, and dung for fuel. Dried llama or alpaca meat was called charqui, a word that later became "jerky" in English. The Inca stored vast quantities of jerky and similarly dried fish and plants along royal highways to fortify traders and soldiers on long journeys through the empire.
Llama and alpaca wool was also used to make knotted records called quipu. The Inca did not develop a system of writing, but they kept track of immense quantities of food, textiles, precious metals, and people by making knots in colored twine. The importance of llamas and alpacas to the Inca culture is further illustrated by the fact that they were frequently depicted in art such as ceremonial bowls, pitchers, tapestries, and figurines made of silver and gold. Some of the art shows llamas being used in ritual sacrifice.
Their importance is also suggested by European accounts of the size of their herds. Cornell University anthropologist John V. Murra wrote, "It is difficult to imagine the size and pan-Andean distribution of herds. In the early decades after the invasion, European observers were stunned by the omnipresence of the beasts… ." Murra goes on to say one European reported that "he had heard of an Indian who is not even a lord just a local personage…who had more than 50,000 head of stock."
The invasion Murra mentions, of course, is that of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and his small army of Spaniards. In 1532 C.E., they captured Atahuallpa, the leader of the Inca, in the city of Cuzco in what is now Peru. Pizarro demanded and received a room full of gold and two rooms full of silver for the release of Atahuallpa, then executed him anyway. The Inca Empire, already weakened from the onslaught of European diseases, crumbled.
Five Main Types of South American Camelids
The llama is the largest and hardest working South American camelid. Like the camel, these are pack animals that can travel longs distances. It's fur is not valuable like the others, but it is prized for its traveling and carrying abilities. It is South America's favorite Beast of Burden.
The alpaca is the most commonly seen camelid in South America. Its fur is highly prized and used to make everything from sweaters and scarves to blankets and gloves. You will see herds making their way up steep mountain tracks throughout the Andes, often marked with a brightly colored ribbon in their ear. Alpaca meat, which is fat- and cholesterol-free and tender like steak, is common on dinner tables and restaurants in Peru and Ecuador. The alpaca has been domesticated for more than two thousand years, with ancient civilizations in Peru such as the Moche and later the Incas, all incorporating the animal into their daily lives.
The vicuña is the thinnest of the camelids and seemingly the one with the biggest eyes. The soft features of its face are reminiscent of a cartoon deer such as Bambi. The vicuña is rarer than other camelids and its fur is the most expensive because of its softness and quality.
The two species' ranges do not overlap much, but where they do, the animals choose slightly different habitats. Vicuñas are more restricted in their diet, eating primarily grass and some small forbs and lichens, whereas guanacos eat shrubby vegetation as well. Vicuñas must drink water daily, especially during the dry season; guanacos can go for long periods without drinking water.
Franklin has studied South American camelids for 40 years, beginning with a four-year study of vicuñas in the early 1970s, then studied guanacos as well to compare their ecology and social behavior. Scientists are uncertain whether alpacas are the domestic descendants of vicuñas or guanacos.

Franklin found that vicuñas live in family groups composed of a male, several females, and their young. When the young near maturity, the male forces them out of the group. Unless they're defending a territory alone while attempting to attract females, bachelors form all-male herds while females try to join existing family groups. The vicuñas do not migrate seasonally. Instead, family groups live on permanent, year-round territories that the male defends from all intruders. Although some territories are better than others, each contains sufficient forage to support the group all year. The best territories also have a permanent source of water. Habitat with good forage is found in scattered patches between bare ground and other unsuitable habitat.
Seasonally, territories are also used for mating and breeding. A male defends his females from the attentions of other males, and actively prevents his adult females from leaving. Unusual among mammals, a male limits the number of females that live on his territory—the average is three—probably to ensure there is enough food to go around. Over time, the size of the group on a territory is fairly constant. "Females most likely pick males for real estate, not for good looks," Franklin says. "But the male more often than not rejects outside females. There is a relationship between the number of animals in a group and the amount of the forage in that territory. Who knows how the male assesses what is going on?"
Franklin also discovered that vicuña groups actually use two territories—one for daytime foraging, and a smaller one at a slightly higher elevation for nighttime sleeping, which perhaps offers greater safety from predators. Males mark their territories with dung piles that females and young also use. The piles act as fertilizer, and where the dung piles are on steep slopes, the dung falls downhill and produces strips of relatively lush vegetation.
The fur of the guanaco is slightly less fine and less full than that of the alpaca. Its fur tends to be a lighter brown with a white belly and gray face. Patagonia and Torres del Paine in the very south of the continent are the most common habitats for guanacos, where they tend to roam in large groups. For all their similarities, vicuñas and guanacos—the wild South American camelids—are a study of contrasts. Vicuñas weigh between 80 and 110 pounds and live on windswept, cold, semi-arid plains called puna between about 10,000 and 16,000 feet. They inhabit the Andes in central Peru, western Bolivia, northwestern Argentina, and northern Chile. Guanacos are larger, between 185 and 300 pounds, and are more widely distributed. They live from sea level to 13,000 feet in a wide variety of open habitat in and around the Andes, from northern Peru all the way to the southern tip of South America. The vast majority of guanacos live in a region called Patagonia in southern Chile and Argentina.
Guanacos' social system differs from that of vicuñas' in being far more variable and flexible, as is their habitat and feeding ecology. Some guanacos live in sedentary family groups on year-round territories. Others have only seasonal breeding territories and migrate when forage is covered in snow or dries up. Group size varies over the year and females move in and out of the group freely; sometimes females form their own all-female groups. Very large mixed herds of both sexes are also seen in migratory populations. Territorial males drive out their young, but not until they are older than vicuñas are when they are expelled. Guanacos appear not to have separate nighttime territories.
In both species, females give birth to a single offspring each year. As with many ungulates, the young can walk just a few minutes after birth. In fact, Franklin notes that if researchers want to tag infant vicuñas, they must do so within the first 15 minutes after their birth—vicuñas older than that can easily outrun a human.
The Huarizo is the least likely of the South American camelids you will encounter. The offspring of a male llama and a female alpaca, the animal is bred for its fleece and as a pet.
Preserving the existence of South Anerican Camelids

The social disarray that followed the European conquest of the Inca Empire led to the loss of old breeds. Herds of domestic camelids were decimated as European sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs replaced them on pastureland, and they nearly disappeared by the end of the 1500s. Wild camelids fared even worse.
Scientists estimate the pre-Columbian population of guanacos at 30 to 35 million and that of vicuñas at perhaps several million. In the centuries following the fall of the Inca Empire, over-hunting in combination with competition for pastureland from introduced livestock greatly reduced the numbers of guanacos and nearly wiped out vicuñas. By the 1960s, only about 10,000 vicuñas remained. Today, the population has rebounded to several hundred thousand. Guanacos number around 0.5 million, but they occupy less than half of their former range.
Populations of guanacos and vicuñas have stabilized and grown in recent years due to some fairly standard methods—setting aside protected areas and enforcing laws against illegal hunting. A more unusual conservation technique has helped boost the numbers of vicuñas: shearing wild animals and releasing them alive. The ability to legally live-shear the animals reduces people's incentive to hunt them for their fleece, and shorn vicuñas have no value to a poacher.
Vicuñas have one of the finest fibers in the world, at a diameter of 12 micrometers. (The fiber of cashmere goats is 14 to 19 micrometers, and that of shahtoosh from the Tibetan antelope, or chiru, is from nine to 12 micrometers.) "It's hard to exaggerate the silkiness of vicuña fiber," Moore says. "When you rub a tuft in your fingers, you can see it but you can't feel it, it is so fine." It is so sought-after that in 2004 a kilogram (2.2 pounds) could be sold for $566 wholesale. One ounce of certified live-sheared vicuña fiber retails for $250 in the United States.
According to some reports, the Inca (and perhaps others before them) periodically rounded up thousands of vicuñas, at two- to three-year intervals, in massive efforts involving as many as 30,000 people. Some vicuñas were killed immediately for meat and leather, but most were shorn of their precious wool and set free. The time between roundups was dictated by the time it took the vicuñas to regrow their fleece to a length of one to two inches.
In 1995, to promote both conservation and local economic development, the government of Peru began encouraging its citizens to conduct similar vicuña roundups. Villagers on foot herd vicuñas into a net-lined chute that leads to a small corral, where the vicuñas are inspected and sheared. The fiber of sheared vicuñas grows back completely in two or three years. If the vicuñas' fleece is not long enough or they are youngsters then they are let go.
A study done in Peru and published in Conservation Biology in February of 2007 looked at females shorn in the spring, and found no increase in mortality of the females or decrease in number of young they produced compared to unshorn females. But more research must be done to determine if the same can be said of vicuñas shorn in cold weather.
In some places in Peru, vicuñas are living permanently inside large corrals (on the order of 2,500 acres) to facilitate roundups. However, while corralling makes live-shearing easier, some scientists are concerned that it may interfere with natural gene flow between corralled and uncorralled populations, or that being corralled will set the vicuñas on the path to domesticating themselves.
Live-shearing guanacos is not a widespread practice, but some people think it should be. Guanaco fiber is nearly as fine as vicuñas'. In the wild, the animals are threatened by poaching and by competition from sheep, which graze on similar plants. A study published in the Journal of Arid Environments in 2006 demonstrated a successful process for capturing and live-shearing wild guanacos in Patagonia. The authors propose that a live-shearing program—similar to Peru's live-shearing vicuña program—could enhance the conservation of guanacos, because local landowners would be more motivated to help protect the animals if they were able to earn income from live-shearing.
If these programs move forward, and people can legally shear vicuñas and guanacos on a large scale while leaving the animals wild and free, it will represent an ingenious twist in the age-old story of domestication and the newer story of conservation.

Show #47: Grief & Loss
This Sunday on Radio 4 the Ages, Heather and Matt speak with Larry Dawalt (Senior Director of Spiritual & Grief Care Services – Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region) about grief and loss. We learn how people can experience grief and loss differently, especially the losses that many senior adults face as they age. We talk about what people close to those grieving can do to help and how to listen and inspire hope. We also hear from David, and his son David, via phone to talk about his visit to Albuquerque, NM to watch his son be promoted from Captain to Major in the United States Air Force. To learn more about grief and loss, experiences we will all face at some point in our lives, tune in to Radio 4 the Ages.

I purchased this item several years ago for my wife's jewelry. She had several smaller desk top boxes with her valuables. She loves the armoire because it holds both the jewelry and watches. She was able to organize everything in one area and that turned out to be the one thing she was looking for.Read More
I like the Armoire. Wish the wood was darker like Mahogany because it's more like a cherry color. A corner on the bottom underside was damaged where it looks like it might have been dropped while in the box. Like I said, the damage was to the underside so I didn't bother to return it for fear that the next one could be worse. There is plenty of room and overall, it was worth the price.Read More
sturdy good for the money it is working well just right for my wife.Read More
Got this for my mother. She loves it. Good quality.Read More
Finally, all my costume jewelry is in one place. Because it is, I wear a variety of pieces more often. It holds a lot of jewelry and even a few wristlets & coin purses. Finish is very nice, the unit is sturdy. I've owned it for a year and I still love it & the armoire remains in excellent condition.Read More
Product was flawless and my daughter loved it!!! Quick delivery and easy assembly! Would highly recommend!Read More
This is a lovely piece of furniture and is a cinch to assemble. I'm not much for assembly but this is just a matter of putting on the legs and screwing on the top lid. Various drawers - from deep, major storage to various compartments. Lovely wood, nice quality and quite roomy. Good buy and good quality.Read More
Traditional, well made with lots of room for all my jewelry.Read More
Had a little chip on the top and called and they sent me a new top. Very satisfied.Read More
It arrived very securely packaged and without damage. Assembly consisted of attaching legs and top which required only a Phillips head screw driver and took about 7 minutes. All holes lined up easily and threading was correct. I was able to fit jewelry from 4 boxes all in one place and couldn't be more satisfied.Read More
Very nice armoire. The style is classic and goes well with any cherry to mahogany colored furniture. It was packed very securely, however on the inside of the side drawers there were some small scratches; it is barely noticeable though. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and it's a good value for the price.Read More
My package arrived in tact, and the armoire itself was well-padded to prevent damage. It was easy to put together, and has substantial storage space.Read More
This jewelry armoire matches my bedroom furniture perfectly. Shopped a long time before I choose this armoire.Read More
Jewelry armoires are hard to find in the stores. This one was exactly what my wife was looking for. The description and pictures represented it well and are true to the actual product. No surprises. My wife loves it and has finally gotten her jewelry all organized so she can find whatever it is she's looking for! Her necklaces are no longer a tangled mess. Her earrings are together and not mixed up among dozens of other earrings. All her rings are neatly organized. It's nice that she doesn't get frustrated trying to find things, which makes me happy too!Read More
Very pleased with this purchase, shipping was quick and secure, Product arrived with no defects or damage and was easily assembled. Quality of the product is very good and it is solidly constructed and designed. It makes a nice additon to our Alexander Julian bedroom set and the mahogany finish matches very nicely.Read More
The Jewelry Armoire is exactly as I expected it to be. It is beautiful and fits a lot of jewelryRead More
This item arrived in good shape and looked as it was presented on website. Easy to assemble and arrived on time for Christmas. A good value for the cost.Read More
It was a perfect gift for my daughter. She loves it!!!!!Read More
All I can is I love it! It holds lots of jewelry... Is just the right height.. I am very proud of it.Read More

Menu Plan Monday-August 26
Y'all, it's been forever since I've done a Menu Plan Monday post! I've still been planning our meals they just haven't made it onto the blog. Raising two girls keeps me busier than I ever imagined. :)
I've been reading Nourishing Traditions and it's changing my thinking of what we put into our bodies. It's A LOT to take in and will take me reading it a few times to really grasp all the information. It's more than a cookbook and much like a workbook full of good information. There are over 700 recipes as well as tons of information about eating real food. Real food is food that grows in fields and on trees, comes from animals and food we can recognize. This book has brought my focus back to making more from scratch using real butter, real fruits and vegetables, whole grains, real eggs, real meat, etc. I know I'll still eat junk and processed foods but if 95% of the time we can eat real food, that would be great!
Another book I bought back in the Spring, that I really love, is by Laura of Heavenly Homemakers, Oh, For Real: Real Food, Real Family, Real Easy. She uses much of Nourishing Traditions suggestions on real food but it's MUCH easier to understand. She's hilarious, love shortcuts in the kitchen but not at the expense of good food, has 4 boys that she home schools and has beautiful freezers stocked full of goodies! I've been a follower of her blog for quite a few years now and she makes me laugh out loud at her posts a few times a week. She's real and knows we're all strapped for time in the kitchen. Read her blog, you won't be disappointed. And buy her book, too. It's awesome!
Anyways, enough of that. I think you'll see more of our real food adventures in the future. On to the menu plan for the week. I have way too much food in our freezers and I'm trying to clean out so we're working on what my mama calls "old" food. :)
Monday- bbq chicken baked potatoes
Tuesday- italian chicken sandwiches, whole wheat burger buns, vegetables
Wednesday- lasagna and whole wheat breadsticks
Thursday-pancakes and bacon
Friday-pizza (I've found a new pizza sauce recipe and it's the best ever! I'll share it soon.)
Saturday- lunch: convenience meals
dinner: turkey burgers
Sunday- lunch: sandwiches
dinner: week's leftovers
I'm still following my breakfast menu for the girls and me, for the most part. As for lunches we eat leftovers, sandwiches, noodles, cheese, fruit. It depends on what's in the fridge and since the girls are older and a little more vocal, I let them choose a little more.
What's cooking in your kitchen this week?

Nyla turns 3!
This post is only a month late, but at least I'm getting it done, right?!
On July 13, Nyla turned 3! And I actually made it through the day without weeping uncontrollably. I usually lose it on birthdays. I know that sounds crazy, but it's going by so quick! With each of the girls birthdays come big tears from Mama. I know they're doing what they're supposed to do but I can be a little bit sad.
Nyla had a big day! The day of her birthday turned out to be KidFest at our church (a block party for the neighborhood to promote our children's ministries). It turned out to be a beautiful and perfect day for the block party. There was face painting, indoor carnival games, a train the kids could ride, petting zoo, pony rides, bouncy houses, sno cones, free hot dogs and chips, the Bartlett K9 unit demonstration, Shelby County K9 demonstration, Shelby County boat patrol unit and Bartlett fire truck and firemen. There was a lot going on and it was awesome! We had quite a few people from the community come and enjoy all the activities. Of all these activities Nyla did every. single. one. This was truly shocking ya'll! She's been scared of everything the past year and we thought we'd go, support our church and be gone in an hour. Turns out she had the best time of anyone. For some reason she got over all her fears that day. I guess that's what happens when you turn 3?! At first she didn't want in the bouncy houses but with a little pushing from Daddy and Mimi (our preschool director, her name is actually Kathy) she went in and loved it! And so continued the day of her surprising us!
Be prepared for picture overload! We had a busy day.
|Daddy and Nyla enjoying the bouncy house.
|Yes, Daniel loves the bouncy houses more than anyone. And he's not afraid to admit it. :)
|The petting zoo. It had a llama, goats, sheep, horses, a donkey, bunnies, a duck, ferrets, turtles, and chickens.
The baby goat in the cage was about a week old. He or she was so cute!
|Nyla petting the ferret. Very surprising!
|And Nyla holding the ferret. I flipped when she held it. It was shocked and so proud. This was a big deal!!!
|The petting zoo came with the cutest little train that the little ones could ride around in. It was a hit!
|The full train.
|Enjoying her first sno cone.
|Sitting in the fire truck. I forgot how tall they are!
|Face painting time! She got a beautiful butterfly
|This is pretty much the best picture I got of Naomi. She got a heart painted on her face.
|Riding the horse, "Ladybug." Again, shocking!
|Naomi's favorite thing of the day were the turtles.
|Naomi and I tried to enjoy the puppet show but we left when the camel started talking. It freaked her out.
Beginning of the birthday party pictures!
|The birthday girl! She wore an Elmo shirt and a skirt my mom and I made her (it has Sesame Street characters on it and it's so cute) and her birthday crown.
|Excited for cupcakes!
|I didn't get a picture of her blowing out the candle but she did it, all by herself. We didn't even practice beforehand either. She did great!
|Her friend, L, enjoying a "Super Grover" cupcake. So sweet!
|Mmm, Elmo cupcake.
|Ernie likes Nyla's birthday crown.
|A bigger view of the dessert/decoration table.
We had a great day celebrating Nyla! Now, I must go cry a little bit. My girl is getting too big!

Our School/Playroom 2013
Since our girls are only 3 and 21 months, our room is more of a playroom than a school room. And that's a good thing!
In March, we moved into a bigger home and we are blessed to have a separate room for our playroom/school room. Yes, the toys still get taken into all the rooms downstairs but they are mostly contained in the playroom. This is good for my sanity!
|You can see how we use our room in this picture, toys!
|This wall holds our US map and our twine with clips to hold the girls artwork. The top is Nyla's area and the bottom is Naomi's. I recently cleaned this off and we're starting over. :)
|If you keep moving to the right you'll find the girls kitchen/food prep area. I think this area gets the most use right now; they love to cook!
The chalkboard above is where I write our Bible verse for the week.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Recently, UCP's Supported Employment division (Employment Solutions) helped one of their customers, David, secure a job working at the nearby Thatcher's Restaurant & Lounge!
David is a good example of a person who was capable of working but who was unsure of what he might do for work. For many years, he used UCP's community inclusion services. But he was also interested in paid employment.
Ursula Morton (one of UCP's Employment Specialists) met with David weekly for three months. She engaged him in community work experiences so that she could get to know his skills and abilities, and so that he could learn more about the work world.
After that, Ursula was able to build an appealing resume, highlighting the skills David had acquired at his community-based positions.
And, a mere 10 days later, Ursula was assisting David to sign his hire paperwork at Thatcher's! Congrats to David and everyone who worked to get him this job.

Click the link below to read a recently published article from Spokane Living Magazine, on the state of employment in the inland northwest region of Oregon for people experiencing developmental disabilities. The piece was written by UCP Employment Solutions, Employment Specialist, Paul K. Haeder.
Source: Haeder, Paul K., (2015, April), MetroTalk. Retrieved from http://www.spokanecda.com
We are pleased to congratulate Melissa Miller, the head of Employment Solutions (UCP's supported employment department), on reaching ten years of employment at UCP.
Melissa has been employed by UCP since April 30, 2003. She started as a Roommate (live-in caregiver) for one of the people we support. Since then, she has made a huge impact on many of the people we support and the disability community at large.
In 2005, Melissa assisted with the creation of our supported employment services. The program is known today as Employment Solutions and is revered as a model of best practices in Oregon.
If you've had the privilege of working with Melissa, please make sure to congratulate her on ten years and her many successes!

UCP's Supported Employment division (Employment Solutions) assists qualified job seekers who experience a disability to connect with employers who value what they bring to the workplace.
One of the people being supported now is Chris. A couple years ago, Chris hired UCP and Melissa to help him work toward his goal getting his dream job, which is to repair computers and work in a small shop.
Melissa and Chris met regularly to work on employment-related skills such as improving his hygiene and social skills, how to show up on time, and how to set appropriate work place expectations. Then they worked on pursuing related experience for him. First, he participated in Free Geek's Computer Build program. He was assisted at Free Geek by Melissa and other UCP staff, who assisted him to learn the tasks and interface with his American Sign Language Interpreter. Chris is proud to announce that he just received his certificate and earned a free computer!
Chris also completed a two-week unpaid work assessment at a Gresham computer repair shop called East Wind Computers. He did a good job, but Roger (the owner), thought he needed more training before he'd be a competitive applicant for related jobs, so Roger offered Chris an unpaid internship! This is a very special opportunity for Chris to learn all about computers by working closely with the best in the industry.
Chris is also connected with Vocational Rehabilitation, who provide him with a variety of resources such as an employment mentor, interpreters and a cell phone so he can text with his support team and stay accountable.
It's taken a lot of resources for Chris to get where he is today but it's well worth it! We wish Chris the best of luck on his journey.
Learn more about East Wind here. And don't forget to support this wonderful company the next time you need your computer updated, cleaned or repaired!
UCP's Employment Solutions program assists qualified job seekers who experience a disability to connect with employers who value what they bring to the workplace. Since the department's inception in 2006, Employment Solutions has supported over 100 individuals in their job search journey. Our goal is to help them find, secure, and keep employment.
One of our current job seekers is named Brock, and he would love to get a job. Below, in Brock's own words, is what Brock wants you to know...
Do you know of a good job opening for Brock? Contact Brock's Job Developer, .
Hi! My name is Brock L. Turner and I have been working with Job Developer Nicholas Von Pless for the past 3 months. I am a soon-to-be 33 years old (birthday on January 27th!) adult with Asperger's Syndrome/High Functioning Autism, and currently serving as a member of the Adults Subcommittee on the Governors' Task Force on Autism. I have a two-year Associate's of Arts Oregon Transfer (A.A.O.T.) degree from Portland Community College and have also completed a two-year Work Force Career Pathways Pharmacy Technician Training Program, also from PCC.
I am currently seeking employment in the greater Portland/Vancouver metro area. I am an Oregon State Licensed Pharmacy Technician, and I also possess national certification. Part of my two-year training for a Pharmacy Technician Career included a three-month full-time, forty hours per week onsite externship working at Walgreens Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Tech. In addition to my education and training for pharmacy work, I also have a history of clerical/administrative and customer service work.
I spent approximately three and a half years from September 2004 to January 2008 working as a Customer Service Representative at the Affiliated Computer Services (A.C.S.), Inc. Call Center off NE Sandy Blvd & NE 181st Ave in Gresham, OR. I also worked doing various temporary staffing duties including data entry, filing, telephone reception, and other clerical tasks. My primary career goal is to work in a pharmacy, but I am in a place of keeping an open mind to possible job opportunities.
My long term goals include finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at PSU (in conjunction with working full time), and am currently the elected Vice Chair of the Multnomah County Young Democrats.
Some other clerical/administrative work experience I have as working as a volunteer, intern and occasional paid employee for a variety of political campaigns. Work with these campaigns includes multi-line telephone experience, fundraising and sales, writing, composing and editing Letters to the Editor and Opinion/Editorial work for various newspapers, filing and stuffing envelopes, phone polling, data entry, and direct face-to-face canvassing and assisting to register new voters and assist registered voters to cast their ballots.
I pride myself on being a good proponent and advocate for persons with Asperger's/Autism and feel I can help promote a diverse and harmonious work environment. Please feel free to view my resume at any time!
In Employment Solutions, UCP's supported employment division, we support adults with disabilities so that they can find and keep their dream jobs. Employment Solutions is pleased to announce that one of our customers, Max, has successfully completed 90 days working as a Service Agent at Enterprise Rent a Car!
Max has made a plethora of new friends at work and Max's supervisor, Allison, says that Max is an "easy-going, dedicated hard worker." Congrats to Max on a stellar 90 days! Keep up the good work!

Are you planning a fundraiser? Maybe a wedding? Perhaps a concert, reception, banquet, ball, or zumba class? Consider booking your next event at The Village Ballroom in Northeast Portland. Owner Ryan Saari partnered with UCP's supported employment program (Employment Solutions) and recently hired Travis to keep this historic landmark in pristine condition.
Travis cleans the picturesque ballroom that once hosted a nationally famous pool hall frequented by the infamous Fats Domino. Travis also washes the huge windows that look over Dekum Street, where the Dekum Streetcar ran back in the early 1900s. Today, there is no streetcar or Fats Domino, but The Village Ballroom is extremely busy. Luckily, Travis is there Monday through Thursday mornings to make sure everyone can fully enjoy the space.
Later this year, owner Ryan Saari will be opening the downstairs portion of the ballroom as The Oregon Public House, purported to be the world's first non-profit brewpub. Every quarter, Saari will select up to five local non-profits, and equally donate all the net proceeds. Travis will be working down there, too.
Please support employers who value a diverse workplace. Visit The Village Ballroom's website here.
Congratulations to Tino and Tyler, who have recently completed their first ninety days of employment at Lowe's in Wood Village.
One of UCP's Employment Specialists, Nicholas Von Pless, worked with Lowe's HR Manager, Mary Walker, to secure positions as Loaders for both Tino and Tyler. Their positions involve loading large parcels into customers' vehicles, spotting for forklifts, and assisting customers to locate different items while delivering a high level of customer service. Without fail, Tyler always thanks his customers with a firm handshake. Tino responds to calls on his walkie-talkie with the speed of a cheetah.
Tino feels such a sense of pride and independence working at Lowe's that he is now making the transition from foster care to his own apartment. Tyler has exceeded the expectations on every shift, and his manager is currently pressing to make him a full-time staff member. Stop in on the weekends and say hi!
Please support employers who value a diverse workplace. Visit this Lowe location at 1000 Wood Village Boulevard, Wood Village, OR 97060
UCP's supported employment program (Employment Solutions) assists people who experience developmental disabilities to find, secure, and keep employment. All jobs are competitive and pay fair wages.
Andrew is an intelligent, hard-working, and amiable young man. He and his mother are members of the Cascade Athletic Club, and Andrew has been volunteering there since January. Andrew has proven himself a valuable contributor. He cleaned and sanitized with impeccable attention to detail, and club members and employees alike enjoyed his presence. He even had a new nametag; it read Sir Andrew.
A couple months ago, Nicholas Von Pless (an Employment Specialist at UCP) started supporting Andrew. Andrew told him that one of his goals was to earn money at the club, so Nicholas met with Scott, the club manager, to see if Andrew could find a pathway to employment. Scott said that Andrew brought great value to the club, but that possible employment was still far off – maybe not even until the fall!
Luckily, Nicholas had ideas about how to ensure that Andrew was able to secure paid employment. Nicholas reinforced Andrew's training and expanded his responsibilities. Then Nicholas talked with Scott about Andrew's increased productivity.
The next day, Scott offered a paid position to Andrew. Today, you can find Andrew on weekday mornings vacuuming, cleaning, doing equipment repairs, and greeting all the members.
Please support employers who value a diverse workplace. Visit Cascade Athletic Club's website here.
UCP's supported employment program (Employment Solutions) helps people with disabilities find, secure, and keep great jobs.
Two of our job seekers are celebrating on-the-job anniversaries this month.
April marks Renea's one year anniversary at Supportland. Renea works from home folding rewards cards for this amazing mom and pop small business! (Find out more about Supportland-- a rewards program for local businesses here).
April also marks Sam's three month anniversary of successful employment at Roots Toddler Community. Sam monitors the children while they sleep and alerts the teacher when they wake up. He also engages with them as they tell stories, play, and sing songs. At the end of the day, he assist them to get ready to go home. (Visit Roots Toddler Community's Facebook page here).
Congratulations to Sam and Renea!
Did you know that there are more than 10,000 individuals who experience developmental disabilities in Oregon? Many of them want to have meaningful work, but according to recent estimates:
To ensure that adults with disabilities are able to find meaningful employment, the State of Oregon began an Employment First initiative in 2010. Find out more about the initiative here.
UCP is proud to support Employment First. The tenants of this initiative are as follows:
These goals mesh nicely with the goal of UCP's supported employment program (Employment Solutions), which is to support adults with developmental disabilities to identify, obtain and retain meaningful and competitive employment from community businesses.
Employment Solutions staff provide as little or as much support as is needed, including skills assessments, assistance writing resumes and cover letters, mock interviews, finding job shadowing and volunteer experiences, providing on-the-job coaching, and assistance negotiating for promotions.

Thanks to a grant from Meyer Memorial Trust, UCP will be hiring a fourth full-time Employment Specialist.
Meyer Memorial Trust invests in people, ideas and efforts that deliver significant social benefit to Oregon and Clark County, Washington.
If you'd like to learn more about the position--and to possibly apply--please click here.
In June of 2011, UCP submitted a proposal to Meyer Memorial Trust, which was created by the late Fred G. Meyer. The Trust invests in people, ideas and efforts that deliver significant social benefit to Oregon and Clark County, Washington.
In our proposal, we requested $150,000 ($50,000 per year for 3 years) to increase the capacity of our supported employment program, which is known as Employment Solutions. Employment Solutions assists adults with developmental disabilities to identify, obtain and retain competitive employment from community businesses.
We are pleased to announce that our efforts were successful, and that we have been awarded the $150,000! We will use this funding to hire three new Job Developers (one per year), which will allow us to support far more people in our program.
Employment is such an important part of life. As we stated in our proposal to Meyer Memorial Trust, "A job can dramatically change the dynamics of an individual's life—providing a structure to the day, a paycheck…, an identity as a contributing member of the community, an increase in personal self-esteem, expanded choices, and opportunities to develop…relationships. Employment is an avenue to a richer and fuller life."
UCP first began providing supported employment in 2007, when we received a grant from the United Way. Since then, we have supported hundreds of adults as they progressed towards employment.
Key features of UCP's supported employment program are:
The funding from Meyer Memorial Trust will allow us to double the capacity of our program. We are very excited to get started on this project.
We wish to give a special thanks to everyone at Meyer Memorial Trust, especially Kim Thomas. We also wish to thank the UCP Board members and UCP employees who were involved in completion and presentation of the proposal. And, of course, we wish to thank Jamie Snider, who contracted with us to write the grant, for doing such an excellent job presenting UCP's history and culture, and, of course, our goals for the project.
As you may know, UCP has an employment division, Employment Solutions, that supports adults with disabilities to find and keep their dream jobs.
Here is one of Employment Solutions' newest success stories. Congratulations, Sam!
Derek Schutt, who is supported by UCP's supported employment department (Employment Solutions), is celebrating 90 days on the job! Congratulations, Derek.
He is in janatorial services at All About Automotive. Derek says,"I really like my job, and I love cars. Yeah, it's really nice here."
Employment Solutions, UCP's supported employment program, recently hosted the first annual AbilityAware event. The purpose of the event was to honor employers who have hired individuals with disabilities. Twenty-four local employers were invited to receive an award!
Everyone gathered at The Cleaners (owned by the Ace Hotel) in Downtown Portland. Four employed individuals (Renea Azeltine, Phillip Klover, Dan Waugh and Jacque Straub) and their managers told their employment stories, talking about what it's like to work together at Supportland, Whole Foods, Sugar Wheel Works and Hippocrate's Secrets. Renea, Phillip, Dan and Jacque did an amazing job delivering their speeches.
UCP's Executive Director, Bud Thoune, was a featured speaker. As he later said, "It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past concept of supported employment, and to envision an even better future." Forty years ago when Bud first started at UCP, if people with disabilities were employed, they were often employed in "enclaves" or "sheltered workshops". In other words: places that were segregated from the community. This event highlighted how far society (and UCP) has come--supported employment can and should look radically different than a workshop or enclave.
After the speeches were delivered, a video of three job-seekers was shown. The video production was donated by Grandient Productions, and featured Valentino Guerrero, Rachel Black and Tyler Chism. Rachel was present at the event, and was approached by an employer and offered an interview! Here's a link to the video on YouTube.
During the award ceremony, all the employers came to the front of the room to be honored. A standing ovation erupted from the crowd. Everyone in the room felt the power of employment! The event got such positive reviews that we plan to do it annually.
UCP would like to thank the hardworking members of Employment Solutions who made this event possible: Melissa Miller, Sheila Forget, Nicholas Von Pless, and Xochil Springer. All of them managed to provide excellent services to their customers while simultaneously planning a huge event that totally rocked! Thank you all!
We are excited to announce that John, who is supported by UCP's Supported Employment Department, was just hired as a dishwasher at The Highcliffe restaurant in Oregon City.
John has been job-hunting for 1.5 years, and this will be John's first paid job. Over 120 people applied for positions at the Highcliffe--way to go, John, for getting one of these coveted positions! And way to go Xochil Springer, John's UCP Job Developer!
The Highcliffe is a new high-end bistro in the heart of Oregon City. Make sure to stop by and admire some sparkling dishware, courtesy of John.
We are happy to announce that Dan, who has been supported by UCP's Supported Employment Department, has been hired at Sugar Wheel Works as a shop attendant!
Employment Specialist Xochil Springer tells us that Dan recently completed a four week internship; the owner was so impressed by Dan's skills that an internship ended up being a permanent job.
Dan's position is vital to the shop, and he truly enjoys what he does. The team at Sugar builds awesome bicycle wheels by hand. Want to learn more? Visit Sugar Wheelworks' website.
Congrats, Dan!

Eleanor is a recent high school graduate who has been working with UCP's Employment Solutions division to find a great job. We are happy to report that she was recently hired at New Seasons on 33rd& Killingsworth.
As Eleanor reports, "People with disabilities have feelings like everyone else – they should be out in the community and not in sheltered workshops. I love my new job – I love talking with customers and helping them."
Please support New Seasons and other businesses who hire people with disabilities!

Florence Layton used to get a sick feeling every month watching her bills pile up on the kitchen counter because she knew she couldn't pay them. Back when she worked full time, Layton (not her real name) paid her bills on time. But a car accident left her without a car and a bad back. She lost her job and went on unemployment.
Now, Layton works part time at a convenience store near her home and she's able to pay her rent, buy food and pay the utility bill.
In part, Layton credits JEA's Neighbor to Neighbor Fund for helping her turn things around.
Layton needed the fund's assistance before starting her new job. She called United Way's information and referral number, 2-1-1, and was directed to the agency that administers JEA's Neighbor to Neighbor Fund. After filling out some paperwork, Layton qualified for a Neighbor to Neighbor Fund voucher that paid her utilities for one month.
The money in JEA's Neighbor to Neighbor Fund comes solely from JEA customers who give as little as $1.00 extra when they pay their JEA bill every month. Layton now happily contributes $1.00 a month.

Probably the most enigmatic garden in Europe, the Sacred Wood at Bomarzo in central Italy has been called extravagant, mysterious, unholy, surrealist, fascinating and good fun, but it has never been perfectly understood - which is possibly just as its creator intended. It was made in the latter half of the sixteenth century by the then Lord of Bomarzo, Vicino Orsini, a man as intriguing and paradoxical as the garden he left behind him. He spent his most active years as a captain serving in the armies of the Pope. But he was also much involved in the literary and artistic circles of his time, counting poets, sculptors, architects and cardinals among his friends. Although he thought deeply about religion and the need to aspire to purity and goodness, he was heavily influenced by his emotions and passions, particularly in his relations with women. All of this seems to have played a part in prompting him to present his dilemmas and aspirations in concrete form in his Sacro Bosco.
In the valley below his palace at Bomarzo, Vicino had the soft tufa cliffs and boulders carved into grottoes, a theatre and a leaning house. Among fountains, allees and bowers, the shapes of creatures derived from Europe's myths and legends stand out. Monsters, giants, nymphs, gods and fantastic animals people the glades and pathways, accompanied by carved texts as puzzling as the works they seem to explain. The recurring theme of the works is the struggle of man's soul to distinguish between earthly and divine love, to see what is real and what illusion. Drawing on familiar figures from classical literature and contemporary Italian works, Vicino poses challenges to his audience, forcing an intellectual as well as an aesthetic response to the complex landscape of Bomarzo.
The pick of the coffee-table books this Christmas. Independent on Sunday An attractive book, beautifully produced and intelligently written, and to be recommended to all who wish to visit Bomarzo. Garden History This is garden history at its best, and a stirring story of an interesting man of plants, sculpture and letters. The excellent text is matched by sensitive photography by Mark Edward Smith who captures the shady mysteries of the palace and the dappled groves of the garden, You could not do better than to read this if you intend visiting Bomarzo and it is surely a good consolation, if you are not able to go.
