Today's bride Zoe was aiming for '1940s film starlet' for her vintage wedding day look. After seeing these photographs, we're sure you'll agree that she smashed it. With her tea-length dress, birdcage veil and amazing Ingrid Bergman-esque 'do', she looks every inch the glamourous bride.
Retro vibes permeate every aspect of this gorgeous wedding, from the live music to the rich colours of the bridesmaids' dresses and the stunning floral arrangements. Full marks, guys!
Here at Brides Up North HQ, we're also touched by Zoe's advice to brides-to-be: look into your partner's eyes and not the registrar's (!), and get thee to a Brides Up North wedding fair. Who are we to disagree?!

zoe says: We got engaged in Venice at 5.30am on a bridge in Canaregio on 7th May 2016. We'd always wanted to have a two-week holiday in Italy with a week in Venice then a week in Tuscany. We arrived on the Friday and got a water taxi (a complete treat, but obviously Chris knew he was going to propose on holiday whereas I had no clue!)
We love seeing a city wake up, so got up early on the Monday to go and walk round the beautiful streets. We started to cross the bridge right by our apartment and Chris caught my hand, stopped me and said, "Do you love it here?" I replied "Yes, of course" and he then got down on one knee – at which point I started grinning madly! And then he said "Great – in that case, would you do me the great honour of becoming my wife?" and produced the most beautiful emerald cut diamond ring! At this point I wanted to shout "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!" quite loudly but remembered no one else was awake. Instead, we skipped (literally) down the street grinning our heads off!
Our wedding was planned for 10th February 2017. We wanted to get married quickly but still have some time to plan. We were extremely flexible and so chose our location and then saw what they could offer us – they had this particular Friday free and so we booked it!
Our venue was The Belle Epoque in Knutsford. We had quite a tick list – we wanted somewhere unusual and quirky, with a dancefloor and room for a band but also somewhere with a separate room so that people could sit down and talk. Chris doesn't dance and so wanted to be able to go around and speak to everyone. I visited it with my mum and, walking in, I was immediately excited; it has a lovely feel, is full of art deco art and pieces, it has a huge welcoming fireplace and the bar is straight in front as you walk in. I spied a room off this entrance with tables and chairs in, so immediately thought that was a tick. We then went upstairs to the dining area which was set up for a wedding – I actually gasped! They had twisted willow and flowers and fairy lights hanging from the ceiling and huge tall vases of flowers, vibrant, rich, opulent colours and gorgeous iris-patterned wallpaper. I was a little bit teary and knew this was the place.
Our theme was a bit vintage and Peaky Blinders, I suppose. I love vintage dresses and wanted to look like a 1940s film star. We didn't have a colour-scheme as such, but we chose deep reds, purples and pinks for the bridesmaids and flowers. I wanted the bridesmaids to choose their own dress and style but with a vintage theme. I wanted them to be able to wear them again and really enjoy choosing their own dresses!
For my dress, I knew I wanted something in a vintage style from the 40s/50s and tea-length. I started to look on Pinterest and came across a dress that I loved, so went onto the designer's website and found a local stockist. I went to Puure in Lymm and Angie, the owner, saw me. I tried the dress I'd seen on and liked it but she insisted I try on more – and I was happy to oblige! After another one, she bought a dress out that I looked at and my heart started to beat faster even though it was full-length and had no sleeves! She fastened me up and explained it could be made-to-measure, adjusted to tea length and have three-quarter sleeves fitted. I looked at myself and felt fantastic. My mum grinned and I had a little tear! That was it. It was ivory satin – so rich and so many sumptuous folds of gorgeous material! It had a little belt with a sparkly diamante square buckle, a fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a net top with tiny sparkles on. I had so many lovely compliments. Angie and her team and Sonya, the seamstress were absolutely incredible and made me feel like a 1940s film star on my day!
I wanted my hair setting in a vintage style and so booked the amazing Ewa Baberska, hair and makeup artist, to finish the look. Suzie Taylor was my makeup artist and she was great. I wanted a very natural look as I don't wear much and she did exactly that, yet made me look fab.
For my headpiece I also wanted something vintage and had met Kaye Hannabuss of Kaye Hannabus Textiles at a networking meeting. We got chatting and I asked her if she would be able to make me something. She made me a fabulous vintage-inspired headpiece with a birdcage veil, a smartie base and a bow. For the evening, she made me a gorgeous hair slide with beads and pearls and diamante. Kaye works with Harris Tweed and so Chris was interested in talking to her about his and Holly's waistcoats.

Given that we're super excited about our Brides Up North 'Pop-up Wedfest' at The Bowdon Rooms in Altrincham next Sunday 26th February, we thought it best to showcase how fabulous the venue is with a real wedding that made use of its versatile function space.
Craving a relaxed yet fun big day, bride and groom Hayley and Tim chose The Bowdon Rooms as the ideal venue for their evening reception following a low-key ceremony at Altrincham Town Hall.
Keen to stray away from tradition, the couple threw the 'wedding rule book' out of the window and made the day all about what suited them – from posh frocks, suits and Jimmy Choos to an informal afternoon tea, signature cocktails and one big evening party.
So ladies, if you like what you see be sure to come view The Bowdon Rooms for yourselves at our event between 11am and 3pm on Sunday 26th February, by registering here (Hayley and Tim did!)

hayley says: We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2015 at our local Italian restaurant Coco's in Altrincham. It was totally unexpected as after us both being married before, we had pretty much ruled it out. Tim chose my favourite day of the year to propose and I was truly stunned! One of our daughter's Amelia was with us on the evening and she screamed louder than I did!
We chose Friday 28th October 2016 for the wedding. I'm a little impatient and didn't want to wait too long!
We got married at Altrincham Town Hall, which was beautiful, followed by pictures in Altrincham Market House, and afternoon tea and cocktails at the Sugar Junction in Altrincham. We for our evening reception by many more guests and partied the night away at the nearby Bowdon Rooms. We were very keen to have a low-key wedding, (despite going full out on the Justin Alexander gown and Jimmy Choo shoes of course!) and our day was truly perfect in every way.
With us both having been married before we very much wanted to shy away from tradition, so apart from posh frocks and a lovely suit, everything was kept very informal, hence the stand-up afternoon tea and cocktails! We did add just a touch of vintage styling.

The styling of today's real wedding was inspired not by the season or the venue, but by the groom's favourite film – back to the future. Though a cult classic of the 1980s, David and Lisa chose to style their wedding on the era Marty and Doc Brown were thrown back to, the 1950s, which made for a colourful and upbeat big day.
We love both the bride and groom's choice of fitting attire, especially Lisa's pretty tea length dress, finished off perfectly with a pair of cute Charlotte Mills heels.
And what better way for David to travel than in his very own DeLorean time machine car? We think this one might make a few grooms rather jealous!
So join us as we travel back in time to relive David and Lisa's big day.

david says: We got engaged on the 1st September 2014. We were on a visit to Canada to see my Uncle Neville. We had an amazing holiday visiting Niagara Falls, Forest in Sarnia, and Windsor Ontario. We spent our last few days in Toronto, and I thought there would be no better time and place than to propose on the glass floor of the CN Tower, with a beautiful Tiffany ring. I knew she wouldn't be able to say no, and I was delighted that Lisa accepted to spend the rest of her life with me.
lisa says: We chose the 4th July 2015 as our wedding date because Dave is a big Back To The Future film fan, and this date marked the 30th anniversary of the film's release date.
We were welcomed so warmly into the community at our local Methodist church in Sale, Cheshire, that we wanted to take our vows there, and were really pleased that Rev Richard Mottershead agreed to marry us.
We both agreed we wanted a really relaxed and informal day that our friends and family could let their hair down and enjoy, so where better than our home for the reception? We hired a marquee from Marquee Hire 4 You, which we dressed beautifully with 50s style bunting, cut glass vases, summer bright flowers and candles. It was a great bonus that our house was only a short walk from the church. We were also blessed that our wedding day fell on one of the best summer days in July. The days leading up to the wedding and immediately after were wash outs, but on our day the sun just kept on shinning down on us.
We loved the idea of having a fun theme to a make our day that little bit different, so we continued with the Back To The Future theme and travelled back in time to the 1950s. Lots of our guests got into the spirit of the era, wearing swing dresses, trilbies and 50s hairstyles.
In terms of the colour scheme we just wanted things to be vibrant and bright, so we gave the florist free reign to use their creative flair. We were very happy with their fantastic choices of summer flowers, which added lots of colour.
On the wedding day I wore a lace 50s style tea length dress by Justin Alexander, which I chose from Puure Bride in Lymm, Cheshire. The ladies in the shop were fantastic, and the seamstress altered it to fit me perfectly. I wore fresh orchids in my hair, which was pinned up beautifully by Michelle from House of Finesse in Altrincham. My shoes were by Charlotte Mills, with a silver six pence sewn inside for luck.
Dave wore a lovely bright electric blue suite, off the peg, from Marks & Spencer, along with a grey Christys' trilby hat, a yellow cotton tie, and brown brogues. He finished the outfit off with some DeLorean Time Machine cuff links, which I bought for him.
My flower girl Natalie, wore a dress similar to mine, which I bought from Debenhams. Our sons Sam and Josh wore matching blue check slim fitting suits from Next and Trilby's from M&S. They really looked the part.
My good friends Rajiv and Shalini, drove me from the hotel to the church in their gorgeous silver Jaguar car. David, meanwhile, arrived in his DeLorean time machine car, hired from Tom Reddaway of DeLorean Timemachine, Devon. After the service the Reverend put on a pair of shades, jumped in the DeLorean and myself, Dave and all of our guests followed as it drove to the house for the celebrations to continue.
Our photographer for the day was Rosie from Ragdoll Photography. I met Rosie at the Brides Up North Bowden Rooms bridal fair and as soon as I started to explain what our theme was and what we wanted, her face lit up and I knew she was going to be great. We can't praise Rosie enough. She was amazing with a very natural and relaxed style. It was like having a friend/guest at your wedding that just happened to have a camera. We are so pleased with the photos and the video slideshow she produced.
My bouquet and all our flowers were from Living Colour Floral Design, Warrington. I asked Amy there to use whatever bright and beautiful summer colours were available, and the results were just stunning. For decorations, we had pew ends and flowers on the altar in the church. They also filled the large vases for the marquee tables with a vibrant splash of colourful flowers, each unique. Everybody loved and commented on the flowers
Our reception was in our garden, so we thought that forget-me-not seeds tied with a pretty ribbon would make nice favours (David definitely banned sugared almonds!)
We didn't want a traditional wedding cake or cutting of a cake, so we decided instead to have a selection of beautiful cakes from Slattery's Bakers, Whitefield. There was something for everyone's taste. They looked great and tasted delicious. We also had a selection of handmade chocolate decorated strawberries from McAuley's Coffee Shop in Swinton.
For the wedding meal we decided to stick with our Back to The Future theme, and so chose Ollie from Pizza Loco, which is a quirky traditional wood fired pizza oven inside a steam train, to provide the food. They cooked a choice of perfectly crisp pizzas at a rate of one every ninety seconds for our 200 plus guests. We also had two chefs, Colin and James from Hewitt's Hog Roast, cooking tasty American style BBQ food. We provided a well-stocked bar with everything our guest could want, and had Pimms on arrival and a champagne toast.
As an extra treat (and because I love sweets), I turned our little summerhouse at the bottom of the garden into a sweet shop, which the children and adults all loved. Dave illuminated it with a varied selection of LED lighting and bunting, giving it a 50s old sweet shop feel.
When it came to the entertainment, we searched for a 50s style band, and booked Rockin' Robin & Honky-Tonk Hoods (aka The Ginger Nuts) from Nottingham, through DG Music online. James and the band were just awesome. They did two main sets, and all the DJ'ing. We asked if they could perform our first dance, which they learnt, and played for the first time at our wedding. It was Earth Angel, by Marvin Berry, from the Back to The Future film. Their version was wonderful, and just what we wanted. The dance floor was never empty during their sets.
Following our wedding day, we would highly recommend others consider having a wedding at home. To us it allows a much more personal touch than any other venue.
Our favourite part of the day was dancing out of the church, much to the surprise and delight of our guests. Everybody was laughing and clapping as we exited to the sound of Huey Lewis and the News, The Power of Love.
Following our wedding we jetted off on honeymoon to Sorrento, Italy. It was both romantic and beautiful.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be – don't get swayed by other people's ideas of what your wedding should be, and what you should have. Keep focussed on what you really want and not what other people expect. Nothing says you have to conform, so just be yourselves and most importantly enjoy every moment of the occasion.

Northeast Jazz & Wine Fest lists headliners for July 23 to 25
For the past seven years, it was known as Jazz in the Square. Last year, the three-day music festival became the performing arts anchor of "Syracuse Artsweek," a mega-festival created in conjunction with the Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival.
This year the Artsweek connection remains but Jazz in the Square has been renamed the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival, being staged July 23-25, at downtown's Clinton and Hanover squares. Presented by the CNY Jazz Arts Foundation, the festival is free.
Trumpeter Joe Magnarelli, a Syracuse native now a mainstay on the Manhattan jazz scene, returns to Clinton Square as the festival's resident artist-educator. Joe Mags will blow his horn with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, and takes centerstage again as the guest of the CNY Jazz Orchestra on Friday evening, July 24.
Magnraelli's most recent disc is Persistence, on the Reservoir Jazz label.
Also performing Friday will be Canadian-born, NYC-based pianist John Stetch and smooth jazz saxophonist Marion Meadows, a gentleman who performs frequently in both Phoenix, Ariz. and Maui, Hawaii.
The NE Jazz and Wine Festival lineup was announced Tuesday morning, June 16, by Larry Luttinger, executive director of the CNY Jazz Arts Foundation, at Jazz Central, downtown.
The festival's performers on Saturday July 25, will include scholastic acts and community jazz bands in the afternoon, followed by the Thelonious Monk Project led by Rochester pianist Bill Dobbins, Miami vocalist Nicole Henry and New Orleans saxophonist Donald Harrison.
Trad-jazz performers for the festival's Mardi Gras Pavilion which opens at 5 p.m. each day, will be announced shortly, Luttinger said.
For information, call 479-JAZZ, or visit NEJazzwinefest.org.

Simply put, Brendan "Margo" Margieson is a freakin' legend. You may have missed the premier of his bigraphy titled Wanderjahr—too bad for you. Go buy it. Anyway, we here at TransWorld pulled him aside the other day for a bit of a quickie—this is what came out. Enjoy.—Checklesby
You're here in the U.S. for the premier of the movie Wanderjahr. Are you excited with the way the movie came out?
For sure, firstly, I thought, "Let's do a surf video. The guy who did it is my best friend—Justin Gane—so it was like, "You know, I want to do a surf video, and he said, "Yeah, that'd be cool, just travel around and get some surf. It worked out being a lot harder project and a lot more time consuming than I thought. It's more rewarding that it's finally complete. I'm pretty happy with the end product for sure. I'm just more relieved that we finished it, that it's over and done with 'cause it was like a good year and a half, two years in the making sort of thing. It's pretty hard. I'm sort of a personal sort of person and then here I am just showing my life. It's sort of weird, but it's pretty cool you know.
How many times have you been to the U.S.?Not many, this is my third time and each time I've been here it's been for a couple of days. I've been fortunate, each time I've come here all you California guys say, "Ah, you don't want to surf here—the waves suck. But every time I come here the waves are actually good—except for this time, there's not much at the moment. I always get fun little waves everywhere. Maybe I don't get that excited about getting surf and what I get I'm stoked on. I've had fun at Trestles and Newport Beach and the Carlsbad area.
Of all the places you've been in the world, if you could choose anywhere right now, where would you go?
Right now, geez, I'd like to go to Tahiti, not so much for Teahupo'o, but some of those other out of the way spots. I haven't really done that much searching around there—they got big perfect waves around there. I'd like to do more exploring in Tahiti.
People always say how you were the first "freesurfer and the first to make a career out of that and now it seems like there's a lot more guys doing it. Do you think it's a good thing for surfing? I know in Australia a lot of kids have to compete and you and Rasta are the exception. Do you think you laid the groundwork in a good or a bad way?I just think it's opening up doors for kids that don't have that competitive edge that happen to have really good talent. There's so many different sides to surfing these days with the aerial surfing, the contests, the big waves, and the tow-ins, I just think the most natural one of them all just to go surfing and if you're fortunate to have a good style or a good talent—why not? I think it's very worthy for a company to sponsor someone like that because all your contest guys are away on tour all year and these guys are gonna be sponsored because they're photogenic and they can be accessible for you to be wearing the latest garments and stuff. I was just in the right place at the right time and I was just fortunate enough to choose the path that I did. I'm stoked to see guys like Rasta come up—he'd so successful. I'm surprised there hasn't a lot more others. I see it in America, there's a lot of guys that do what I do. Everybody says I was a pioneer or whatever, but there was a lot more guys doing before I was. Maybe I was just the first guy that sort of really got recognized.
Should kids still take a stab at competing?
For sure, everyone thinks that I don't do contests, but I think to be a good, complete surfer, it's good to do the junior contests or try the WQS events and I think it's only gonna better your surfing and you've got to do it for your own personal reasons as well—you got to do it to feel good inside. That's the most important thing.
Who's your favoriutte surfer to watch?
Yeah, aww, god, there's just too many to name really. Growing up, Occy and Tom Curren, I just idolized those guys. I just love guys that have really nice style. Like I love the Hobgoods' style—guys that know how to read waves really good. Andy, Parko—all those guys are so good to watch. There's so many good surfers.
Who do you think's gonna win the title this year?
I think it's gonna be really exciting. I'd say, for me, Andy again. I just think 'cause of the waves the 'CT has at this time—he's just a standout when it gets bigger. He's just got that competitive edge it seems over the rest of the field at the moment. I'm pretty sure Andy's gonna be pretty solid again. Hopefully, I'd like to see Parko, one of those young guys do good, but he's having a child this year and stuff so I don't think this is gonna be his year. I don't know. Obviously Slater's the only other guy that can surf those waves that can match him—I think Andy will win.
What are you looking forward to in the next few years?
I'm getting closer to the end of my career—I've been around so long now and I've had a lot of exposure over the years. I'm still obviously doing a lot of surf trips in the future, but I'm sort of concentrating a little more on doing some tow-in surfing. There's a lot of big wave spots in Australia left to be discovered. I'm sort of in the process this year and the following years to find some of those spots. I've got no interest in surfing 100-foot waves or waves like Jaws or anything like that, but I know there's still a lot of pretty big wave spots left to explore in Australia. I want to go places where there's no one around.
What's it like having Nutty (Heath Walker) for a brother in law?
It's really funny. Heath's just a cool competitive WQS grinder. Here I am the complete opposite. We're sort of good for each other because we're so opposite. Yeah, he's a funny little man.

Or maybe I should title this post, "Remember to set your hair before you mix your drink."
Last weekend Wild Kat and her family stayed overnight at my house. You know the scene; adults sitting with feet propped up in front of the campfire. Kids running blindly with sparklers in hand. And a few glasses of Sailor Jerry going down smooth.
"Wait! You could set my hair!" she cried. Out came the spritz bottle, comb and pins.
So Wild Kat and I headed into back into the kitchen...
This is my basic pin curl set. I did a tutorial a couple years ago and still like this simple set. I don't set nearly as many curls as you'll find in the vintage hairstyle books. I use bobby pins and only criss-cross them when necessary.
There are twelve curls (four across, three down) set across the entire back of Wild Kat's head. The curls down the center row alternate direction, left and right. All the curls on the left side of her head are rolled forward towards her face. And the same on the right side.
I placed three pins on each side of Wild Kat's head, above her ear.
And there are four or five stand up pin curls in her bangs. I like a little extra height here and these won't get smooshed when she sleeps.
After Wild Kat was all dolled up, we headed back out to the campfire, visited with Sailor Jerry until 2:30am, discussing children, local politics and religion. Very therapeutic.
The following morning, after Wild Kat had done chores for me (I think I like having a clone), she brushed the curls out into a soft wave.
Wild Kat's hair was 3-4 days old and had some product in it. We spritzed it with water as we set each curl, and she slept on it.
Typically I do a full wet set (straight out of the shower) and use gel to help hold. Followed by hairspray and pins where needed.
Wild Kat pulled her bangs back and pinned up a few rolls. This is a simple, easy set that takes about 15 minutes to set the night before and 15 to brush out in the morning. No sleeping on rollers. No standing in the bathroom feeling your arms go numb from holding up the curling iron. The soft curls can be left loose or brushed and pinned into many different styles. Give it a try!

Review: Really impressed
Whenever I buy from websites I haven't heard of I'm always a little bit reticent. Being able to pay via PayPal though is always more reassuring. Anyway, I've bought 2x6" Kevlar cone subs, they were so cheap but so much better than you would expect for £13. Much better than some more expensive component subs and I like how they look, although very basic. All I'm going to do now is build some new shrouds and amp them properly. They are for the car so we'll see.

The award-winning and controversial author discusses book censorship in the Internet age, how she can continue to connect with children as she grows older and what's next on her agenda.
Rather than utilizing the traditional autobiographical structure, his new memoir Dropped Names chronicles his memories and experiences with over 60 famous friends who have passed away. "I think my life story is more interesting told that way and…it's only a piece of my life. I'm a supporting player. When I tried to do a biography of my own life, I fell asleep over the pen…I was disinterested in it," Langella tells Tavis.
The senior editor of The New Republic reflects on President Obama's first term, assesses whether the present administration has learned lessons about the economy and discusses his book, The Escape Artist.
The Oscar nominee and three-time Tony winner discusses his memoir, Dropped Names, why he decided to tell his story through his relations with people and why he's been particularly selective in the roles he's chosen throughout his career.
Turning over his host seat to the dean of the TV talk show genre, Tavis and Dr. Cornel West explain their new text The Rich & the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto.
The dean of the TV talk show genre turns the tables and questions Tavis—and Dr. Cornel West—about the new book, The Rich & the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto.
The celebrated writer built his reputation on expanding the horizons of Native American literature, breaking down common misconceptions of his people and offering a truer history of Native American culture. Read up on the novelist, watch a video as he reveals a learning faux pas and tune in to his conversation with Tavis.
The college professor-novelist explains his latest text—his first full-length nonfiction work—Rez Life, and how growing up on the margins of a reservation was a metaphor for his life.
The retired U.S. Army captain, peace activist and author of Peaceful Revolution describes being "pro-military, anti-war" and speculates on whether world peace is possible.
In part 1 of a two-part conversation, the former lobbyist shares his thoughts on being referred to as an "orthodox Robin Hood" and discusses the conflicting feedback he's receiving for writing his book, Capitol Punishment.

Reviews of first editon
- Hatched is one of the most energetic, generous-hearted, sharp minded and inspiring book of poems I've read for quite a while. No matter at what page I open the book, I find a love of life, an appreciation of life, and a vibrant sense of privilege and gratitude. … Illness has somehow endowed Corina with the ability to conduct a dialogue with reality. She turns fragility into strength, disability into freedom, and confusion into beautiful normality. Poet Brendan Kennelly
- "Great day for a walk" – is not just a greeting, but a celebration for the human spirit. Hatched deserves an international audience, and merits a place on best-seller lists. Liam Murphy, Munster Express
- It is beautiful. Really beautiful. It gives me courage. Dianne Mawhood
- The lesson of this deeply personal yet emphatic diary that is Hatched is that you don't have to get ME to embrace them. Christy Parker, Dungarvan Observer
- This is something really special and uplifting. Interaction Magazine
- I found tears rolling down my cheeks- tears of both empathy and relief. Corina has shared her experiences in a simple, beautiful, and human way. Sue Page
- Corina Duyn is living proof of the adage that you can't keep a good woman down. Deirdre O'Flynn, Irish Examiner

Texas To Use Dynamic Scoring
February 15, 1999
This year, Texas will begin using dynamic revenue estimating to assess state tax legislation. Dynamic scoring uses economic models to project how tax law changes might spur investment and hiring by businesses -- leading to increases in taxable activities that might offset, to some extent, the cost of tax breaks.
- The traditional method ignores the economic benefits of cutting taxes, and therefore overstates the cost of tax breaks to the state.
- Only California, Massachusetts and Minnesota widely use dynamic modeling in setting state fiscal policy.
- Attempts by Congress to introduce dynamic scoring at the federal level have so far failed.
Dynamic modeling can substantially lower the cost estimates of tax cuts. For example,
- Using static analysis, a Texas state tax credit for large- scale capital investments would cost the state nearly $1.4 billion in lost revenue over two years.
- A dynamic analysis projects the credit would only cost 62 percent of that amount, largely because the credit would cause the creation of 75,000 additional jobs and other revenue-enhancing activities.
However, dynamic models can draw different conclusions, depending on the assumptions used. For example, using static estimates, a proposed state tax credit for research and development (R&D) would cost the state $250 million in lost tax revenues.
- But a dynamic analysis by Standard & Poor's DRI estimates the R&D credit would create 9,450 jobs in Texas by 2005.
- On the other hand, a new Beacon Hill Institue study commissioned by the Texas Public Policy Foundation also used a dynamic model; it found the R&D credit might create as few as 136 jobs.
- The same study found other proposed tax cuts would add 50,830 new jobs in Texas and boost capital spending by almost $6 billion.

Responding to current trends in anatomy curricula, this innovative new resource covers surface and radiological anatomy and cutaneous and muscular innervations as well as gross anatomy. Outstandingly realistic three-dimensional photographs and illustrations, plus a consistent chapter organization, summary tables, and other user-friendly features, enhance readers' mastery of essential information. It provides students with a unique resource for use before, during and after lab work, in preparation for examinations, and later on as a primer for clinical work.
Reviewer:Ming Xiaoming Zhang, PhD(University of Kansas Medical Center)
Description:The authors have created a human gross anatomy atlas that combines several different approaches. The atlas includes real cadaver dissection photographs with anatomical drawings, large full page illustrations with concise text descriptions, surface anatomy photographs with topographic (ghost) drawings, and anatomical dissections with X-ray/MRI images. This combination of approaches makes this atlas unique and very useful for those students who have limited access to cadaver dissection and clinical materials.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide an atlas for students in medical, dental, and related health sciences fields. The authors also hope this book will be a valuable resource for review by professionals teaching and practicing in the fields of healthcare and health sciences. The authors have attained their objectives.
Audience:The authors' plan was to create an atlas of clinical anatomy for students, residents, and practitioners in the fields of medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, chiropractic, occupational therapy, optometry, undergraduate anatomy, as well as physicians in surgery, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry. This atlas will be useful for this broad range of specialties. The authors are experienced teachers of human anatomy and are highly qualified to author an atlas of human anatomy.
Features:The atlas has a unique approach to introduce human anatomy structures. It covers all the subjects of human anatomy except neuroanatomy. The combinations of photography with drawings, illustration with text, and basic anatomy with clinical imaging are its best features. The full page, large format photographs are of high quality throughout. The topographic drawing (ghost drawing) on photographs provide clearer views of anatomical layers and the relationship between anatomical layers. The real cadaver dissection photographs provide more images of anatomy to students. This is particularly helpful for undergraduate students who may have limited access to a cadaver dissection and the development of a three-dimensional view of human anatomy. The shortcoming of this atlas is its simplicity. Some of the photographs and drawings lack sufficient detail. The simplicity issue makes this book more useful for undergraduate studies and instruction than for medical school teaching. This does not rule out its usefulness for medical professionals as a source of reference or a means of review. Also, with the decreased time for human anatomy in new medical curricula, this book may find a niche.
Assessment:This is a high quality human anatomy atlas that will be useful for medical educators, health professions students, and health professionals. It provides unique views of human anatomy that are absent from other atlases in the textbook market. It is a valuable tool for teaching or reviewing anatomy. It may fall short in detail for some medical school anatomy courses, but students will like the straightforward approach to the 3-dimensional organization of the human body.

I think Sashi is possessed. By a song. You know, the Engelbert Humperdink number, 'Tell me Quando Quando Quando'. The song embedded itself two days back and he has been hummin' a squeaky, out-of-tune version of it constantly ever since. It crept into his skull like that thick green soupy plague in The Ten Commandments. Thereafter, it hasn't needed any particular situation or context to spill out of his tongue. He warbles it out in a thick Bengali accent, like rosogolla syrup, oh yeah. 'Bhen bhil you shay you'll be mine, tell me kando kandooo kannndoo'.
Now it's no skin off my back, wantin' ta hum a toon and all, accent or no accent. Sashikanta Majhi is my room-mate at engineering school dorm and my relationship with Sashi is a delicate one, like the one the CIA have with the Pakistani ISI. I'm itchin' ta kick his skinny bottom but I have to control myself. He has many uses. Like doing my homework for me while I'm at the Blue Diamond cinema with Sandhya Ramanujam, 17, BA-Fine Arts, Stella Maris College. Iyengar girl, so big-chested that her CG is somewhere there up front, a full six inches beyond her body. Engineering students turn her on, what can I tell ya. But that's enough about Sandhya Ramanujam. Please, this one is not about Sandhya Ramanujam, people. Baobabs have no place on this piece. Namah Shivayah, Nama Namaha.
Back to my roomie, Sashikanta Majhi. A dainty, neat and tidy pipsqueak of a higher secondary board topper from Kakurgachi, Sashi's squeaky voice sounds more like when you're opening a door whose hinges need oiling. Against Engelbert's deep baritone, Sashi's squeaky Quando is infuriating. Especially when I'm trying to decipher what in the effin' hell how 'viscous dashpots' work, for tomorrow's periodical test on vibrations.
Perios are bloody important. 30% weightage on overall scores. I'm preparing tiny chits that'll fit into my shirt cuffs, no problem. My shirt cuffs are specially retrofitted. Like ejectable wing-pod fuel tanks for the Mig-23 interceptor. The chits can be made to peek out of my cuffs and retreat, smoother than Cesar Cardinale's stilleto did, in that Harold Robbins book, Stilleto. Sashi doesn't need shirt cuff chits, he's brilliant. He is a goddamn walking shirt cuff chit.
Sashi's father is a postman at Kakurgachi and postmen all over have this feeling of kinship. Naturally therefore , the postman here reaches him first, with the monthly Money Order from Dad. If on any particular month, Sashi asks around if we have received our MOs yet, it means his father hasn't been able to send him any money for that month. Which happens often. It means 30 days of 'plain toash' (plain toast) for breakfast, sambar/rice for lunch and dinner for him. We try to pay for his chicken biryani and bread pakoras on the Saturday OAT movie nights or omelettes for breakfast but Sashi shakes his head with an embarrassed 'thanks'. Fortunately, the tuition and hostel fees in this institute are so heavily subsidized by the government that getting by with very little is not difficult. If you don't have many vices. Sashi doesn't have any. He's a teetotaller, has just two pairs of jeans and T-shirts and a pair of well worn hawaii flip-flops round off his attire. For the dorm, he has a pair of white kurta-pyjamas for the hostel dorm.
Just when I'm about to tap him on his knocker with my slide rule to encourage him to shut up I'm tryin' ta concentrate, Sashi breaks into a spirited "dhinga dhinga nika nika, dhinga dhinga nika nika" and as his singing reaches a crescendo, the balls of his palms thump the table top, while his stubby fingertips play the tabla on it. Jesus, this guy is one chirpy SOB. Sashi switches to his loud 'dhinga nika…' routine and table tabla when he has just been able to solve some mathematical issue in relation to the next day's submissions. As he nears the answer, Sashi's falsetto and tabla gets louder. I can't do nothin' about it. Like I told you, I need the pipsqueak for my assignments and homework.
Sashikanta Majhi is a deeply religious boy. His side of the room is bristling with pictures of deities, all situated around the side of his cot where he puts his head. Placing someone near your feet is sacrilege in Hinduism.
I'm a late riser. Like, if I'm up fifteen minutes before the Turbomachines class begins, I'm early. However, once in a while I happen to come awake at five and continue to just laze in bed, pretending to be asleep. Sashi's day starts a half hour prior. By five, already bathed, he quietly eases open the door of our room so as not to wake me up, and goes for a walk in the hostel garden in just a dhuti. Chennai, even at five in the morning, is warm and strolling around the hostel garden, bare-chested, with only a dhuti on is not a problem. For us guys, that is, and for the gals at Sarayu Hostel, wouldn't we want ta see them similarly attired. A dhuti is a thin white cotton fabric, the male equivalent of a saree. Problematic when you have no underwear and are looking at dirty pictures. It looks more like a tent then. Now don't get me started on that, OK?
Sashi returns after ten minutes, his arms loaded with jacobinas, violets, thistle and sunflowers. He deposits them next to him on his bed and proceeds to string them together in tiny malas (garlands), all the while chanting softly under his breath, "Namah Sooryaya Chandraya Mangalaya Budhayacha ….". Every time he reaches up to drape a mala on one of the deities, he clasps his hands together in supplication, head bowed and a deep, distinct 'Ommm' escapes from his lips. 'Om' is a deep drawn-out incantation that is normally delivered right from the pit of the stomach, in the beginning and the end of a Hindu prayer. It has great meaning to it, but I'm not the right guy to tell you what that is. The only Om I know is spelt 'ohm' and is a unit of electrical resistance. The other one is a French guy saying 'home'. Or a French guy himself.
His prayer done, Sashi lifts his head and looks up at Ma Saraswati, then Ma Laxmi, Shib thakur, Ganesh thakur and so on, from one to the next, all freshly adorned with his flowers. I'm not very sure but every once in a while, I think I see his eyes misty and wide, trembling lips mumbling words that don't sound like a shlok but like him trying to converse with his God. Then, finally, with a sigh, he backs off the bed and goes and sits at his table, opens his text books and quietly starts reading, as the first rays hit our window sill.
I cannot stop being amazed at how different I am and also how envious. At a boy who is dirt poor, has just one change of clothes and excels in class. No taking off to the movies, no girlfriends, not one stoke of hashish rolled in a beedi, or a slug of hooch. No Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath. And still, I have never known anyone that I have wanted to be more like. In contrast, the walls on my side of the room are bare, if you don't take into account the Mumtaz blow-up. And the pin-up of Jacqueline Bisset stepping out of a swimming pool. Parveen Babi had been there but Sukumar, final year electronics, a few doors away, has taken her on loan for a few weeks. No problem. Jacky Bisset isn't really mine either. I got her from Mady Giri, M.Tech first year IE, up at Kaveri hostel. Mady has one of Aruna Irani in a rustic costume that he's willin' ta pay you to take away but there still aren't any takers. I'm expecting Helen any day now, from Popsie Ramachandran out at Krishna hostel. Sashi is of course oblivious to the posters. Whenever I install a new one, he just shakes his head and gives me a shy retiring smile, like 'oh, boys will be boys'.

There is an air of inevitability to a Melbourne Victory defensive pairing of Adrian Leijer and Mark Milligan this A-League season.
For the duo, the many roads of football seem intent on reunion.
They grew close during their days with Australia's Under-20 side, while Milligan still has fond memories of "dossing" in Leijer's living room in London in 2008 while the former was looking to win a deal in Europe and the latter was at Fulham.
The pair shared a pitch again when Milligan joined Melbourne Victory for the latter half of the 2011-12 A-League season, playing 10 matches while on-loan from J-League Division 2 club JEF United.
And it was the familiarity of elements like Leijer that made coming back to Victory an easy decision for Milligan, whose second coming to the club - this time on a permanent deal - was confirmed on July 11.
More pertinent for Milligan, however, was putting his family first.
His young family is expecting another addition in January, and wanted to avoid the "difficult experience" - complete with translator between doctor and mother - of the birth of his first-born in Japan.
"For me personally, if I was to come home, it was going to be to something familiar," he told Goal.com.
"So when Melbourne showed interest and spoke to my agents… Once that sort of happened, it was really a no-brainer for us.
"We were so happy here at the beginning of the year. On the field, obviously, we weren't as successful as we [would have liked], but still off the field everyone was so good, so helpful."
The return to Victory of Milligan - equally at home in central defence and midfield - comes just weeks out from his 27th birthday, making it seven years since his debut for home-town A-League club Sydney FC.
Considering everything that has come between, it perhaps feels like much longer.
Milligan with Sydney FC during the 2006-07 A-League season.
It seems not so long ago that, after two seasons with the Sky Blues, reports emerged in 2007 that the then-21-year-old Milligan had gone to France to trial with clubs without the Sky Blues' permission.
He firmly dismisses that version of events, firmly stating the club's hierarchy knew of his whereabouts. Besides, as he points out, he was "very happy" at Sydney at the time.
"My agency at the time pushed it through, but I didn't really enjoy it. I wasn't ready to go overseas," Milligan said.
A season later, he was back in Europe, having left Sydney at the expiry of his contract. This time, he believed he was ready.
But despite impressing then-manager Sven-Goran Eriksson at Manchester City shortly before the Swede's sacking and then at the likes of Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen on trial, immigration red tape seemed to thwart Milligan at every turn.
Knowing he needed to "play some games", Milligan returned to Australia to sign for the Newcastle Jets.
He had not always been painted kindly in his absence, with some considering - despite him going close to contracts at several major clubs during his time in Europe - his talents had been somewhat over-estimated.
His time at the Jets, however, served to remind the critics of his value, and it took just eight matches for Chinese Super League heavyweights Shanghai Shenhua to swoop in January 2009.
He played 30 matches in the 2009 campaign as Shanghai finished fourth, with his performances persuading newly relegated JEF to part with a considerable transfer fee for his capture for the 2010 season.
The move raised eyebrows back home, but the approval of then-Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek meant more than that.
"I spoke to Pim closely on this, obviously with his experience in Japan [with Kyoto Purple Sanga in 2003] and whatnot," Milligan said.
"There was a lot of people I spoke to, before I made the decision to move to JEF. I copped a lot of criticism for it, but I still think for me, personally, it was a good move."
Milligan believes his move to JEF was a "good one" despite criticism from some quarters.
Almost three seasons later, and Milligan is back on Australian shores - this time, with a three-year deal at Victory, for the foreseeable future.
Milligan has not "shut the door on anything" if overseas beckons once again down the track, but family has come first.
The move could also extend what has been a promising run for Milligan in the Socceroos set-up.
He is yet to speak to Australia coach Holger Osieck as the German is on holidays, and will do so "as soon as I can". But having won a place back in the Socceroos squad during his loan stint at Victory, including a start in midfield in the World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia in February, he anticipates returning to the A-League will not prove detrimental.
"[Holger's] shown that if players are performing in the A-League, then you're going to get the chance," Milligan said.
"It's a chance for me to stay seen. It's a lot easier for people to watch me here than it is in J2."
"I've found if you start looking too far ahead, that's when things start to get difficult"
- Milligan on making the 2014 World Cup for Australia
Capped 12 times for his country since his debut in 2006, Milligan has been included in two World Cup squads but has yet to take the field. He is reluctant to talk about his chances for the 2014 tournament in Brazil: "Again, it's still a long time before the next World Cup. A lot can happen in the football world," he said.
"Yeah, absolutely [I want to play at a World Cup]. I think any player, when asked that question, would reply [that way].
"As I say, there is a long time between now and then, and I just want to get through this season and be successful and stay injury free."
Indeed, Milligan is not looking any further than Victory's forthcoming campaign. While he was used mainly in midfield during his loan stint at the club, it is perhaps in defence - alongside Leijer - where coach Ange Postecoglou will employ him.
He minds little, as long as it helps bring the side success, which he predicts more of this campaign.
"With the changes that have come in since I've left, coaching staff and players as well, the future looks bright," Milligan said.
"Now, settling back in, it's a very good feel. There is a lot of energy around, and I think that goes right through - I've noticed in the staff and the office as well."
The arrival of dual title-winning Postecoglou from Brisbane Roar has been key: "I don't think it's just because of what he's achieved. That's the type of character he is," Milligan said of the upturn in mood at the club.
"You just get that feeling from him. You get that calm sense, and they say players react to coaches' feelings or emotions as much as anything, and I think he really does have that calming influence.
"I think the results that he's had up there [Brisbane] are a testament to that."

Skip to comments.Military Officials Dispute Claim Army Unit Was Directed to Manipulate Senators
Posted on 02/25/2011 9:08:39 AM PST by Racehorse
Both sides are starting to speak out after Rolling Stone reported that the command of Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, who is in charge of training Afghan troops, tried to tap members of the military's "information operations" unit to use their skills on visiting senators and congressmen, among others. The goal, according to the article, was to convince officials to provide more troops and money.
The accuser, Lt. Col. Michael Holmes, stood by his allegations in an interview with Fox News. He said the top brass ordered his unit to gather information in a way that was "over the line," and provided Fox News with documents detailing his concerns. He said he was "badgered" for months to get information on senators and other visitors.
"It was, 'What are these people wanting from us? What is it that we can tell them that will get them to give us more resources, more people, more money ... make them vote our way in Congress' essentially?" Holmes told Fox News. He said he got a written "directive" from Caldwell's office to find out what dignitaries "did for us" and what "we need to do next time in order to make things better."
Petraeus, the lead U.S. commander in Afghanistan, would not comment on the allegations after ordering an investigation. But other military officials either denied the claim or said Holmes had an ax to grind.
Further, another senior U.S. military official who worked in Afghanistan for the training mission told Fox News that Holmes was disgruntled because his original assignment to influence Afghans was no longer needed when Caldwell took up the training command. Holmes apparently thought he was supposed to use "psychological operations" to find the Taliban and "turn them," according to the officer. But that wasn't what Caldwell's command wanted of him.

Yet another activity to weaken our military.
Using McLame a former POW in this story is just icing on the Military enemies from within cake.
That's K-Street's job !!
One can't manipulate senators everone knows they go for the highedt bidder.
Manipulating the Obamaloon or his other idiot-crats would only require an entry level Jedi mind trick.
Heaven forbid the military should dare to ask for more support for their mission.
As for Petraeus, he can't leave soon enough IMHO.
Much ado about nothing. Rolling Stone is hyping it as a "psyops" deal when it was nothing more than basic research.
The good Colonel was pissed that his unit was being used for this because it was beneath them, not because it was wrong.
If the army did have a hypnotoad, wouldn't they use it on the MSM?

J.P. Tokoto had 12 points and a career-high 10 rebounds to help North Carolina beat No. 1 Michigan State 79-65 on Wednesday night, giving the Tar Heels another impressive victory in their inconsistent season.
The Tar Heels (5-2) have been talented enough to defeat the top-ranked Spartans and then-No. 3 Louisville this season, but they've also lost to Belmont and UAB.
"I truly believe after the Louisville win, our mentality after that was, 'Birmingham is just going to be an automatic win. Just because we're North Carolina,' " Tokoto said. "We can't have that mentality — and kind of learned that Sunday night.
"We came here, were ready to play, intensity level was up, and we got results."
Michigan State (7-1) fell to an unranked nonconference team at home for the first time in more than a decade.
The Tar Heels took control from the start, never trailed and used a 12-1 run to take a 65-52 lead with 6:02 left.
"One of the more disappointing performances of my career here," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "From the jump ball, they kind of took it to us."
Ohio State 76, Maryland 60: LaQuinton Ross scored 17 of his 20 points in the first half, hitting his first four 3-pointers, to lead the No. 5 Buckeyes (7-0) to an early lead and a victory over the visiting Terrapins (5-3) in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Wisconsin 48, Virginia 38: Josh Gasser scored 11 points and the No. 8 Badgers (9-0) won a defensive struggle against the Cavaliers (7-2) in Charlottesville, Va., in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, giving coach Bo Ryan his 300th victory with Wisconsin.
Notre Dame 77, Penn State 67: Natalie Achonwa had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish (7-0) in a victory over the No. 10 Lady Lions (5-2) in State College, Pa.
Louisville: Louisville has announced guard Antonita Slaughter will undergo tests through Thursday to determine what caused her to collapse during the seventh-ranked Cardinals' victory over Missouri State on Tuesday night.

We were only spending one evening in Scottsdale and looked on citysearch for a good restaurant near the place we were staying. La Hacienda had the best ratings and the few reviews...
All reviews seem positive
In ShortThis rambling, two-tiered resort restaurant, sumptuously decorated with expensive wood, fine upholstery and heavy furniture, is as upscale as Mexican food ever gets this side of Mexico City. Start with Antojitos Mexicanos (an appetizer platter) or the daintier pasteles de jaiba (plantain-crusted crab cakes served with chipotle oil). Entrees include roasted stuffed quail and seared duck breast served with three-bean melange and prickly pear sauce. The restaurant's signature entree--roast suckling pig, carved tableside--is a knock-out, but nothing tops the spectacle of flaming coffee drinks, served as a grand finale.

Federal officials have stepped in to quell rising violence between Dakota Access pipeline protestors and police, ordering the evacuation of the main encampment established by activists.
The order came by way of letter to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe by Army Col. John W. Henderson of the Army Corps of Engineers. Citing federal regulations governing public lands, Henderson wrote to tribal chairman Dave Archambault ordering the closure of land north of the Cannonball River on Dec. 5.
"I do not take this action lightly, but have decided that it is required due to the concern for public safety." Henderson said. "This decision is necessary to protect the general public from the violent confrontations between protestors and law enforcement officials that have occurred in this area, and to prevent death, illness, or serious injury to inhabitants of encampments due to the harsh North Dakota winter conditions."
Henderson added that the Corps has already established a "free speech zone" on land south of the river for protestors to gather and "peaceably protest the Dakota Access pipeline project."
Anyone found on land north of the river past the early December deadline will be considered trespassing and subject to local, state and federal prosecution according to the letter.
Archambault said in a statement that the tribe is saddened by the letter, sent just after Thanksgiving.
"Our tribe is deeply disappointed in this decision by the United States, but our resolve to protect our water is stronger than ever," Archambault said. "It is both unfortunate and ironic that this announcement comes the day after this country celebrates Thanksgiving – a historic exchange of goodwill between Native Americans and the first immigrants from Europe. Although the news is saddening, it is not at all surprising given the last 500 years of the treatment of our people."
Archambault called on President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers to reconsider the Dakota Access Pipeline and deny the easement to cross the Missouri River north of his tribe's reservation.
The $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, owned by Energy Transfers Partners LP, would stretch across 1,172 miles from North Dakota to southern Illinois. The project, which would transport crude oil, hit a roadblock after demonstrators protested the pipeline's proximity to water resources and sacred Native American sites.
The Obama Administration postponed the project in September to review pipeline plans and consult tribal leaders; but the stall led to escalating violence and tensions between activists and law enforcement.
Authorities have turned to pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets and water hoses to disperse demonstrators. Last weekend, law enforcement drew ire after water cannons were turned onto 400 protestors in subfreezing temperatures. Twenty-six people were hospitalized and hundreds more were injured after the clash, according to the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council.
"It was horrific," one protester told CNN. "It was a horrific scene."
As violence escalated into last week, law enforcement turned to concussion grenades, said Michael Knudsen, medical logistics coordinator for the Medic and Healer Council.
One of those grenades landed near New York native Sophia Wilansky, who was handing out bottles of waters to fellow demonstrators. The grenade detonated, according to witnesses, severely injuring Wilansky's arm.
"She was air lifted to County Medical Center in Minneapolis were she's currently undergoing extensive, hours-long surgery from injuries sustained from the blast," said a GoFundMe page raising money for the 21-year-old's medical costs.
Initially, fellow demonstrators were fearful Wilansky would lose her arm but her father told CNN affiliate KFYR that though the explosion "blew the bone out out of her arm" amputation wouldn't be necessary.
North Dakota State Patrol officials have denied deploying grenades or any other explosive agents.
"There is no merit to that," Lt. Tom Iverson told KFYR. "But I assure the citizens of North Dakota … that law enforcement is investigating this. All the facts will be out there."
As demonstrators decide whether to evacuate the main encampment or stay and test relations with local police, Archambault offered a simple solution to end the prospect of violence and protect both parties.
"The best way to protect people during the winter, and reduce the risk of conflict between water protectors and militarized police, is to deny the easement for the Oahe crossing, and deny it now."

First, I have to say that I adore this site! There are some posts similar to mine, and I'm going to read through them, but I want to ask for a little advice.
My boyfriend and I will be in Chicago for a couple of days (Valentine's weekend) for a conference, staying at the Seneca on 300 E Chestnut. We're both looking forward to eating some good Spanish, Italian, and/or Greek food. We're also hoping to find a good wine bar and a tea shop/coffee shop that specializes in tea. We're definitely going to explore away from our hotel, but we're also wondering if there's anything in the vicinity that's worth trying.
Thanks so much!!

Stream Natsume Yuujinchou Shi Episode 9
Episode Summary: Natori is tasked with the job of finding and breaking the seal of Houzukigami, a god that was to participate in the Moon-Splitting Festival done every 10 years against Fuzukigami, another god. The festival is used by the youkai around the mountains to determine whether the harvest would be bountiful that year or not. Without Houzukigami, the match would end in a default win for Fuzukigami, causing the land to become barren. Natori tries to find the seal but is surprised to find Natsume at the festival disguised as Houzukigami, having been asked by Houzukigami's servants to stand in for their god. The match to be the winner is to catch a beast that was released from a pot. Houzukigami's servants tell Natsume to look for the real Houzukigami while they track down the beast. Joined by Natori, Hiiragi, Nyanko-sensei, and one of the servants, they look in a building by a waterfall. The beast suddenly appears and Natsume and Hiiragi are knocked off the deck of the building. After recuperating from being being dragged down the river, they try to run back to the building but are caught in a trap by Fuzukigami's servants which was meant for the beast. While unconscious, one of the servants is able to pick up a human scent from "Houzukigami", making them wonder if it's truly the god or not.

…you stitch.
I've got a cold.
It came from allergies and progressed as such. Last week was when it began. I went to the doctor this past Friday, for the cold, and he told me to go back to taking my usual allergy medications. I hadn't taken them for a week. Bad idea, I guess. If I knew this would happen I'd have kept taking them. I take Flonase and Zyrtec. I have to take them at the same time to get any sort of relief. Once I filled up on some, they're over the counter so no biggie getting them, and took them I instantly started feeling better. Still…the cold (nasty cough and nasal drippage thing. Haha, gross I'm sorry!) is still not so much fun.
I do have a show-n-tell.
There is a column and a half left for this current page. I can't wait to finish them so I can trade off on the Surprise Stitch. I'm tired of all the blue/green color scheme. SS here I come!
Stay well all and keep on stitching!
