5.0 star Zillow rating 09/12/2015
Sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Sherman Oaks, Sherman Oaks, CA.
David and Ron were more than helpful in selling our home and finding us a new one. We wanted to move to a neighborhood where there were very few homes in the area and when the only home for sale decided to come off the market, they wrote letters to the neighborhood to see if anyone wanted to sell and sure enough, a resident answered and sold us there home. Could not be more pleased as they went way above and beyond. Never had a problem getting a call back or questions answered. We will use them the next time we move.

Splendour of the wild West
Sunday May 5 2019
As we left the congestion and clamour of the city behind, we were engulfed by dust which clung to us, our belongings and made me start to rethink the whole journey. "Sorry for the dust, there is some roadwork going on here but in a few months we shall have a better road," Simon, our driver from Uganda Lodges, tells us optimistically.
We were four people on this trip, the fourth being my nine-year-old daughter. The child lured out of the city with the promise of seeing the mountains of the moon, begins asking for them as soon as we leave Mubende behind. With every rock she sees, she asks if that is the mountain. "When you see it, you will not need to ask," we assure her.
And the look on her face when she cites the first range of Mt Rwenzori is everything.
Home away from home
We reach our destination early in the evening and we are welcomed by the friendly staff at Elephant Plains Lodge. After the long, dusty seven-hour journey, this quiet, clean and well-equipped lodge was the perfect stop. The first thing that catches your eye is the swimming pool and the two water bodies at a distance – breathtaking!
We are shown to a balcony and as soon as we sit down, we are handed glasses of refreshingly fresh juice.
The lodge has various accommodation to suit every guest's need as Eric, the manager, explains to us. Size is the only important choice you have to make here because the lodge was built in a way that no matter which cottage you choose, you wake up to a great view of the enchanting twin lakes surrounded by lush green vegetation and if you are one of those strange people that happen to have binoculars on them, you might spot an elephant or a lonely waterbuck.
A slice of Hollywood
As a matter of fact, being an early riser, I spotted some wildlife a short distance away from my balcony. I caught myself smiling as the image created by Hollywood of Africans sharing meals with wild animals finally made sense to me. The theme at the lodge is eco-responsibility so most of the décor is made up of recycled materials. At the time of my visit, the compound had fully-grown wild plants and weeds, which made it feel more exotic especially when contrasted with the modern amenities at the lodge; the cottages are spotless, luxurious and roomy. You have the option of a shower or a bath with hot or cold water (my daughter chose to have both at the same time). "This is the best resort ever," she said with a child's innocence.
The meals - three-course glorious meals courtesy of Rita. I still think about her soups! The lodge also has a campfire, bar and a spacious lounge with board games, puzzles and a powerful Wifi connection for those who want some stimulating action.
Absolute Phil
One of Elephant Plains' signature things must be the customer care; helpful and willing to advise on the best times for which activities. Apart from the chef, my favourite staff while at the lodge was Phillip, whose catch phrase is 'Absolutely!'
"May I please have some moon dust, Phillip?" and his answer: "Absolutely!"
You will need Phillip's optimism when you experience your first whirlwind. Because of the nature of the land and the location of the lodge, once in a while there is a whirlwind strong enough to turn tables; quite an interesting phenomenon to witness from a safe place.
Game drive
We chose to go for the game drive at 7am. We found plenty of animals and the mesmerising, graceful Jesus birds that walk on water – as my daughter described. It is one thing looking at pictures or seeing lions in movies but up-close, aptly named the kings of the jungle.
On our return journey from the game drive, we met a herd of elephants about to cross the road. We requested Simon to give us a few minutes to take pictures, which seemed to aggravate the family.
The parents encircled the calf while another ran off to call for back-up. A few minutes later, there came the mother elephant charging at the vehicle before gently herding the rest of the family away from us. Another interesting experience was witnessing relief rainfall, complete with a rainbow.
Know that...
Elephant Plains is a luxury lodge located in Queen Elizabeth National Park at 941 metres above sea level, high upon the western escarpment of the Albertine rift in the north east of the park.

infe-news…no turn on red
The name of Infered's new mixtape this summer will be "No Turn On Red"
Any ideas of a cover? It needs to have his face so people can associate the name with the face. It also should feature the street sign "No Turn On Red."
Here is some pictures of the kinds of things to include.
Let me know what you think. Peace, and much love to yaaa!
3 responses
I say a "no turn on red" sign pointing the wrong way on a one way street
with red somewhere incorporated in the image, might take a lot of good
photoshop work but it could be done
May 1, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Damn where/when did you come up with that name??!?! That's super dope! I like the simplicity of just a street sign, but I do understand you need his face on there somewhere.

DES 'pauses for a moment' on Liberty Hill action
by Danielle DeLisle
write the author
July 08, 2009
National Grid proposed changes to their remediation plan for the Liberty Hill coal tar site last month, but the Department of Environmental Services said last week that the "modification" is actually a new plan.
"We reviewed it and decided that it was not a modification," said Michael McCluskey, from DES Hazardous Waste Management Bureau, "but a new plan looking for some guidance from us."
The original plan was approved by DES, but during the technical meeting between the parties to finalize and review details, National Grid was performing groundwater modeling, which can show how water is flowing now and years from now. The results of the groundwater testing showed that in the future there might be some leakage of the slurry wall. National Grid selected a well to go into in and siphon off any contaminate water.
The leakage in the study was shown to be 50 years or more in the future, if it happened at all, and it would be minimal. The well would be put in to take away any contaminated water in the future. The water would not start out as contaminated it is a prevention measure for the future. It would pump about two gallons per minute.
McCluskey said that it puts the project back a few steps, but it should not be not much farther back than they were before the leakage discovery. He said National Grid has already done most of the work and the research for the project, so this will be an addendum onto their preliminary decision they made last winter. McCluskey said it shouldn't put the project back far in terms of time.
"We hoped to implement the plan this fall," said McCluskey, "but I don't know about that now. This is only one of the factors in the timeline and not a big one in the grand scheme of the project. It's more like pausing for a moment."
Residents and other interested parties can view the documents from the Liberty Hill site online at the DES Web site in the database section by searching for the case number, which is 200411113. Letters between the town, DES and National Grid are available to view as well as the studies done on the site.
"By adding an active component to the proposed remedy," wrote DES to National Grid regarding the well, "the Department does not believe it would come to the same conclusion for each of the criterion. For example, the previously proposed passive containment system would have had minimal long term management requirements while an active system necessitates long term operation and maintenance obligations."
David Graves, representative from National Grid, said they are going to comply with the requests outlined in the letter from DES. This includes a comparison study between complete removal of the affected soil. DES asked for a cost analysis, long-term costs, feasibility and time for both jobs.
"It will take several weeks to provide them with the information," said Graves. "This will put us a little behind where we were."

All shingle roofing will need replacing at some point, and when that time comes, you will have an entire roof of shingles to get rid of. Whether you're replacing an area of shingles or redoing your entire roof, it is a great idea to recycle your asphalt shingles for a couple of reasons.
Why You Should Recycle Your Asphalt Shingles
There are both environmental and economic benefits to recycling your asphalt roofing shingles. That means you can save money and help the environment while preparing for your new roof.
As with all recycling, the biggest benefit is to the environment. Regardless of the type of asphalt—whether it be road surfacing or your roofing—recycling the material reduces the amount of new oil needed in production, saving costs and fossil fuel supplies.
As the main component in American roofing—making up 80% of rooftops in America—asphalt is the USA's most recycled material. The recycling process helps to conserve natural resources by reusing the core minerals of the product.
Recycling is also often cheaper than taking the shingles to a landfill site, saving money on trash pickup and expensive transportation costs. As with most large-scale recycling, it is possible for businesses to receive tax cuts depending on how much they recycle every year—meaning they can offer customers a cheaper service than through traditional disposal means.
Where Can I Recycle My Shingles Near Wilmington?
Asphalt is the most commonly recycled material in the USA. As a result, recycling centers should be widely available wherever you're located.
That said, recycling asphalt shingles is less common than recycling pavement or road surfacing. You will need to ask your local asphalt recycling plant if it recycles shingles.
In the Wilmington area, there aren't any places directly in town where you can recycle your roofing tiles, but this site provides a list of North Carolina's best recycling locations so that you can find the one closest to you.
If you're not in North Carolina, many states and towns offer an online listing of local and national companies who can assist you in recycling your roofing.
If you're thinking about replacing your roof or have any questions about the current condition of your shingles, the Atlantic Roofing Company can provide expert advice and an estimate to help make replacing or repairing your roof easier.

Barcelona Attractions
TOP 5 secret gardens in Barcelona
Going on holiday to any destination doesn't just need to be about partying and hectically rushing around. Escaping from the crowds and enjoying peaceful settings such as Barcelona's secret gardens, are always good options.
Among the main reasons for which tourists end up choosing Spain for their next holiday are its gastronomy, climate, culture and available leisure options. But Barcelona certainly has much more than its historical streets, typical dishes and night life.
You don't have to go very far from the centre to discover its best secrets. You need nothing more than a bicycle tour to get to know the most important parts of the city.
At WeBarcelona we can do this for you easily. Our main objective is for you to enjoy your stay in the city to its full potential. With our personalised touryou will be able to make your next holiday in Spain even more memorable.
In this post you will be able to find the 5 secret gardens that stir the most passion among people from Barcelona. Contact us and tell us which places you would like to visit, we will take care of the rest.
So, let's start the TOP5 most popular gardens of Barcelona.
1· Jardins de Joan Maragall
Prepare yourself for feeling like a true 20th century monarch. Space, elegance and tranquillity are perhaps the three words which best define the first garden we are showing you today.
As you will see below, the majority of these gardens are located in the same area, therefore it is important for you to know the options for getting to Montjuïc.
📌 Location: Av. Dels Montanyans, 48
2· Jardins de Joan Brossa
We are staying in the Montjuïc area, this time in a place more orientated towards children and relaxation, given the number of hectares it is composed of. So that you have an idea of its enormity, years ago, in this same place the Montjuïc Amusement Parkwas located.
📌 Location: Plaça de Dante, 9999
3· Jardins de Laribal
Its construction took no more than ten years back in 1917, so you can imagine the impressive result.
It's here where you can find the Rosaleda de la Colla de l'Arròs, (a former venue for public and private meetings) which is recommended if you are allocating a whole day to stroll around Montjuïc. This is a patio upon which the vegetation, composed of cypresses and roses, creates a truly special setting.
📌 Location: Passeig de Santa Madrona, 2
4· Jardins Mercè Rodoreda
Now it's time to zoom in on the Gràcia area, very close to Park Güell.
The whole of this garden can be seen captured in one of the works by the writer Mercè Rodoreda, more specifically "Diamond Square". If you have also read this book, then this fourth recommendation should be a compulsory stop-off on your route.
But be careful as these gardens are not always open to the public. You will only be able to access them through the guided visits that take place on Fridays.
📌 Location: Av. De la República Argentina, 131X
5· Jardins de la Tamarita
We have now reached the end of the list and the Jardines de la Tamarita, constructed in 1918. As it is in the upper part of Barcelona, the bourgeois look becomes its main characteristic.
Get ready to be transported back to the start of the 20th century. Elegant benches, extensive vegetation, a mansion and many other elements await you on your journey through the Jardines de la Tamarita.
📌 Location: Passeign de Sant Gervasi, 47

In the fiscal year that ended Aug. 31, 172 children died in Texas from neglect or abuse, a 23 percent decrease from the year before, according to new data released by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
Over the last eight years, the number of such deaths — which include accidents and intentionally caused fatalities — each year have fluctuated between 151 to 227.
Child deaths, along with high worker turnover and problems seeing potentially abused children in a timely manner, prompted the agency to pursue major reforms in Texas Child Protective Services. Those reforms likely contributed to the drop, but more needs to be done to prevent child deaths, according to child advocacy group TexProtects.
In 60 percent of such cases in 2017, CPS had been involved with the child's family prior to the child's death or was involved at the time of the child's death.
READ: Pay raises, hiring initiatives usher in Texas CPS improvements
"I think it's very exciting we've seen a drop," said Dimple Patel, associate director of public policy for TexProtects. "I do think that reducing turnover, lowering caseloads and improving the work environment goes a very long way in that you can improve CPS' response to families that are at risk."
In late 2016, lawmakers approved $150 million in emergency funding to give caseworkers $12,000 yearly pay raises and to allow the welfare agency to hire an additional 829 employees. Retention and hiring efforts resulted in Child Protective Services employee turnover dropping to the lowest level in at least a decade and caseworker caseloads dropping as much as 37 percent between Oct. 2016 and Oct. 2017.
But agency spokesman Patrick Crimmins hesitates to attribute last year's improvement to the hiring efforts and pay raises, saying public awareness to reduce unsafe environments for children was a more possible influence.
"There were decreases in unsafe sleep deaths, so perhaps our constant drumbeat of safe sleep messages, and those from (Department of State Health Services), paramedics, and emergency room physicians, is making a difference," Crimmins said. "There are too many variables to tie it to something like pay raises."
Over the last year, unsafe sleeping fatalities, typically from suffocation during co-sleeping, fell by 30 percent, drownings fell by 7 percent, homicides and physical abuse fell by 32 percent and car deaths fell by 24 percent.
Texas often has the highest number of child deaths in the country, but when calculated in proportion to the state's child population — 7.5 million in 2017 — Texas does better than a handful of states. CPS was assigned to investigate 238,600 children in 2017.

In Travis County, child death figures have fluctuated over the years. Seven child deaths due to abuse or neglect were reported in fiscal 2017. One of those cases involved 27-year-old Stephen Cortez, Jr., who police said had abused his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter. Although Cortez and the girl's mother had said the girl had fallen down the stairs, doctors told police that they found a "high impact" injury to her abdomen as well as bruises to her abdomen, face and limbs. Cortez has been charged in Travis County with felony injury to a child.
CPS had been involved with the 2-year-old's family before.
Fifty-two percent of the child deaths statewide involved a parent or caregiver who was using drugs or alcohol, 23 percent involved a parent or caregiver who had reported or confirmed mental health concerns, and in 40 percent of the deaths the victim's family had a history of domestic violence.
Patel said mitigating such risk factors as drug abuse, mental health issues and domestic violence are ways to bring the number of child deaths down in the future.
"One area that we haven't heavily invested in is the services that we actually offer to children and families that are at risk of abusing and neglecting their kids," Patel said. "We invested a lot in the workforce last legislative session, but where we haven't really invested a lot of time or money is those services, especially around substance abuse."

Boorara Infill Drilling Delivers Excellent Results
In the December Quarter 2019, the Company completed 18,000m of infill Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling on 4m x 10m (south) and 5m x 10m (north) drill spacing to a maximum depth of 54m at the Royal (southern stockwork), Crown Jewel (central) and Regal (northern stockwork) deposits (Figures and 2*).
Project Summary and Geology
The Boorara gold project is located on granted Mining Leases 1km southwest of the Nimbus site where established offices are connected to mains power and a production water supply from the Stoneville bore field.
The deposit is hosted in a typical quartz dolerite comprising a sheeted quartz vein array system with bounding shear zones and late stage cross faults. Mineralisation occurs as:
1. northwest dipping sheeted and stockwork quartz-carbonate vein arrays within the quartz dolerite host rocks
2. Steeply dipping zones along sheared geological contacts trending to the north-northwest
A significant amount of RC and diamond drilling has been completed at Boorara over the last 10 years with the project hosting a current Mineral Resource Estimate totalling 16.45Mt grading 0.96g/t Au for 507,000oz at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade.
Gold mineralisation is associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite with alteration halos of iron carbonate, sericite and bleaching. The current resource covers a strike length of over 1.8km and widths of over 250m and remains open along strike to the south and north and at depth.
A small scale trial pit to 20m depth was mined in the Royal area at Boorara in 2016, with ore up to 15m wide mined on 2.5m high flitches. A close spaced grade control program undertaken prior to mining yielded planned trial pit grades well above the global resource grade of 1g/t. Ore mined from the trial pit was processed at FMR Investments' Greenfields Mill in Coolgardie which reconciled at 30,239 tonnes at 1.73g/t of high grade ore, with an additional 13,095 tonnes at 0.68g/t of low grade still stockpiled at Boorara.
Depth of weathering can vary from less than 10m in the northern area and over 60m in the southern area. The ore is free milling with gold recoveries > 90% with a high gravity recoverable component as demonstrated through extensive metallurgical test work and trial mining and ore processing.
The aim of the current grade control program was to further test the grade uplift potential on a larger scale and enable a new geological model to be compiled for mine optimisation, design and economic analysis. In addition, the data will be used to update the global resource model as part of the Feasibility Study underway for the larger scale development to underpin a standalone processing facility at Boorara or collaboration with neighbouring companies.
The results received from the Royal deposit (Figures 2 - 7*) have demonstrated this potential with excellent widths intercepted across the mineralised system at higher grades than expected and consistent with the previous infill drilling program and subsequent mine and mill reconciliation. The drilling intercepted both the NNW striking main zone and multiple flat lying vein sets which can significantly improve the grade and mineable ounces per vertical metre.
Results from the Regal and Crown Jewel deposits are expected in coming weeks ahead of the compilation of an updated geological model for mine optimisation, design and economic assessment. The aim is to generate three starter pits across the project for mining and toll milling in 2020.
Next Steps
On receipt of all assay data and validation in coming weeks, the results will be used to compile an independent geological model for Boorara Stage 1 comprising all three deposits. The model will be generated by BM Geological Services Pty Ltd, a local geological consultant who has significant experience in the region and with this style of mineralisation. On completion of the model, a mine optimisation and design will be undertaken across three starter pits to generate a mining inventory for mine scheduling and economic evaluation.
Significant metallurgical test work has been completed and previous mining and milling data demonstrated expected gold recoveries of >91% with a high gravity recovery component.
Discussions with mining, haulage and toll milling contractors are well advanced and all statutory approvals have been submitted to meet the Company's objective to be mining at Boorara in the June Quarter 2020 and toll milling in the September Quarter 2020.

Bank cards issued in Estonia are being used more and more, and in the third quarter an average of around 740,000 card payments were made each day at a total value of 12.6 million euros. The number of card payments made was 6.5% larger than in the same quarter of 2014, and the total value was up 8%. Wider use of bank cards in Estonia is encouraged by merchants making it ever easier to pay for purchases with cards. At the end of September 2015 there were 30,424 points of sale in Estonia that accepted cards, which is 2100 more than a year earlier.
The number of card payments made per person is large in Estonia, but the amount of the average payment is small. Estonia stands out in comparison to other European countries for its high number of card payments. Data for 2014 show that the most card payments per person were made in Sweden, where 270 payments per person per year were made, and Denmark where there were 269, followed by Finland on 244 and Estonia on 188. The average card payment in Estonia was the smallest in Europe at 17 euros, which indicates that bank cards are preferred in Estonia for small purchases. The average card payment was largest in Germany at 77 euros and in Luxembourg at 72 euros.
There was an increase in the value of cash transactions at ATMs in the third quarter, as an average of around 111,000 withdrawals were made each day for a total value of 11.2 million euros, making the average withdrawal 101 euros. Cash was paid in on average around 14,900 times a day for a total value of 5.9 million euros, and the average amount paid in was 396 euros. The sums paid in and withdrawn were both around 4% larger than a year earlier.
There were 810 ATMs in Estonia at the end of September, of which 552 were able to handle cash transactions and also allow payments to be made. Of those 810 ATMs, 97% can be used with cards of different banks, but only for withdrawals. In the past six years the number of ATMs has been reduced by 207, but the number of ATMs which can only accept cash transactions has increased. In the third quarter alone, 31 ATMs were added where cash can be paid into accounts, and at the end of September there were a total of 169 such machines.
There were 642 ATMs per million residents of Estonia at the end of 2014, which is close to the average for the European Union. The largest number of ATMs per million residents in the European Union is in France, where there are 1736, and Portugal, where there are 1516. The lowest numbers are in Sweden, where there are 333 ATMs per million residents, and Finland with 405. The number of ATMs has fallen in recent years in most countries.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey applauds the June 11 vote by the New Jersey Assembly to pass a bill that will help ensure women's access to birth control at pharmacies. Once the governor signs this bill into law, New Jersey will join a handful of states to offer such protections to women at the pharmacy.
The pharmacy access bill (A992), which the New Jersey Senate passed on October 19, 2006 (S2178), would require pharmacies to fill prescriptions for in-stock drugs or devices without undue delay, regardless of any religious or moral beliefs of individual pharmacists employed by the pharmacy. Pharmacies that employ pharmacists who object to filling prescriptions for contraceptives can accommodate the objection so long as the pharmacy ensures that customers receive their birth control at the pharmacy without undue delay.
"The pharmacy access bill strikes an important balance between protecting women's health and religious freedom," said Deborah Jacobs, executive director of the ACLU-NJ. "As businesses and places of public accommodation, pharmacies must abide by New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination, which means ensuring that customers have access to prescriptions for contraception -- pills that only women use -- like any other medication, while also respecting employees' rights when it comes to freedom of religion."
The ACLU's long-held advocacy for both reproductive rights and religious liberty uniquely positions the organization to address this issue. In April, the ACLU released a report, "Religious Refusals and Reproductive Rights: Accessing Birth Control at the Pharmacy," which examines legal questions raised when a pharmacist or pharmacy refuses to provide contraception based on a religious objection.
The report is available online at: http://www.aclu.org/reproductiverights/religion/29402pub20070417.html

If you follow me, you know I have had so much fun recently playing with a technique that features both dry embossing and heat embossing. I pulled out an old embossing folder from Sizzix with thankful words on it and embossed the aluminum foil covered background after applying Versamark to the inside of the folder. Before embossing the aluminum foil, I swiped on black and green Staz-on inks randomly. I dumped on some green and copper embossing powders and melted them. The result is this unique lovely background. I layered the finished card front onto a black card base and add the Fall Border die cut from Die-Versions.
I am entering this card in the Anything Goes challenge at Scrapy Land and the Thankful challenge at Dies R Us.

On Thursday, the 8th of August, the Young Animal Protection Society (YAPS) visited our school, bringing with them some wonderful animals. Students and staff had a great time playing with and feeding the dogs, and it was great to see so many smiles on so many faces. Most importantly, the dogs certainly seemed to enjoy themselves as well.
Overall, we raised almost $300 for YAPS, which will be used to feed and care for animals that haven't had a good start in life. Thank you to all students and staff for your contributions, and thank you to YAPS for coming to visit.
From the YAPS website (www.yaps.org.au):
The Young Animal Protection Society Inc. is a non-profit organisation that cares for homeless and unwanted dogs and cats. The overall goal of the organisation is to provide an animal welfare service aiming at excellence to Cairns and the surrounding district. YAPS is one of very few animal refuges in the area providing this service to the community.
The refuge started at its current location – Lot 2 McGregor Road, Smithfield – in 1985, and has gradually increased in size as volunteer power, financial support and donations of building materials became available to us.
Animals come to YAPS from various avenues. Animals found wandering the streets are brought to us by the council's Animal Control department, or by members of the public. Sometimes it is a person's living or personal circumstances that have changed and they can no longer keep their pets, so they voluntarily surrender them to YAPS. We endeavour to provide the essential care these animals so often desperately need, and commit to re-homing them, healthy, desexed and microchipped, into appropriate, secure and loving homes.
If you're interested in volunteering for YAPS…
1 .You must be 18 years or over.
2. You must be physically fit and capable of carrying out the duties and tasks that might be assigned to you.
Walking our dogs is a heart-warming experience but can also be physically challenging. Whilst we have a variety of big dogs and small dogs some of our pooches are very strong and quite boisterous. You will need to be able to maintain a strong grip on their lead and be able to control the dog at all times.
3. You must be able to read and write.
Instructions relating to the individual behaviour and specific care of each dogs is handwritten on each kennel door. You must be able to read these instructions and make notations of your own to alert the Kennel Supervisor of any matters that may need to be bought to her attention.
4. You must be able to comprehend and follow the directions given to you.
Procedures are in place to ensure that our Volunteers enter and exit the kennels in an appropriate and controlled step-by-step manner. For your own safety and for the safety of our animals, Volunteers must be able to fully understand and follow directions, adhere to our processes, and do so without supervision.
There are a number of ways you can help at YAPS:
Dog Walking:
To assist in providing our dogs with a consistent level of basic training and to ensure newcomers are aware of how to correctly handle our dogs, all volunteer dog walkers are required to undergo induction training. (Must be at least 18 years of age)
Please check the front page of our website (www.yaps.org.au) for the next induction.
Assisting with feeding cats/kittens, cleaning enclosures and kitten socialization.
Laundry and Washing Dog and Cat Bowls:
We can always use a hand to stay on top of the mountains of bedding and bowls used by our dogs and cats. Help is required at all times in this area
Maintenance & Gardening:
If you are a qualified tradesperson, your skills would be invaluable in maintaining our aging premises and we would be incredibly appreciative of your help and support.

So when I saw the community of Mathews, Va. was having its annual "longest yard sale" on Saturday, I begged Sean to get up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday to drive me nearly an hour away to hopefully buy crap for pennies. He must really love me.
We had a fun time of it, and the country girl in my heart loves nothing more than a bargain and a backwoods drive.
My loot included the brass owls you see above ($1.50!) destined to go to my future sister-in-law, who loves all things owl.
I also got this very tarnished brass bowl that I plan to clean up. I love the look of old brass, and the shape to this bowl was incredible. I think it makes a great decorative object, but will also serve as a gorgeous vase for big, fluffy peonies or some other big-headed flower.
I picked up this vintage wire basket with a sweet little bow for $1 at the Gwynn's Island Civic Center (which is very much in the middle of nowhere), and I got an entire roll of grasscloth wallpaper (shown in the background) for a $1. I plan to use the basket for gift cards at our wedding; it's a dead-ringer for the brand new picture frames I bought at Anthropologie and plan to use for menu descriptions.
I scooped up this 1940's edition of "Little Women" at Annie Rooney's in Mathews, which proved to be one of the BEST antique stores I've ever visited. I loved the cover of the book especially.
One of the hardest parts of treasure hunting is leaving some treasures right where you found them. I was determined to buy only little things, but omigoodness, I wanted to buy all the garden stuff at Annie Rooney's.
When we pulled into Annie Rooney's lot, the first thing I spotted was this gorgeous bench and I swear, it was love at first sight. The tag, however, said it would cost $595 to take it home and alas, it was not to be. So for now, my love will be unrequited.
One of the most pleasant surprises of the trip was our stop to have pizza at Southwind Cafe. I expected greasy spoon fare, or at least country-fried everything, but I was pleasantly surprised when we walked into the PACKED restaurant and saw Vichyssoise at the top of the menu. Nevertheless, we got pizza.
Be sure to stop by if you're ever in the Mathews area. All told, it was great to get out of the busy busy busy I-64 rush of Hampton Roads and stretch up to the Northern Neck.

So, It's World Toilet Day: Here Are 7 Public Bathrooms Nicer Than Our House
Take a load off with this sampling of the world's funkiest toilets found in China, Germany, the U.S. and beyond
Toilets are nothing to turn up your nose at. As World Toilet Day – traditionally observed on Nov. 19 – reminds us, even the most basic bathrooms can help protect people from germs and diseases. Meanwhile, on the more luxurious side of things, a few designers have played with the toilet's form and function to create endlessly inventive spaces.
Cintas started its annual America's Best Restroom contest as a way to celebrate bathrooms that make an art out of doing your business. On Tuesday, the the business services giant announced its 2013 winner: the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which transports visitors into a whimsical fantasyland … that you're allowed to pee in.
Varsity Theater restroom, Minneapolis, Minn.
To commemorate the occasion, let's explore some of the other luxurious lavatories around the globe. We bet they all smell amazing.
Female Urinals, Xi'an, China
Countless women have complained over the years that the lack of urinals in ladies' restrooms results in long lines and aggravating waits. In 2010, Shanxi Normal University in Xi'an, China, made an effort to relieve this problem by installing female urinals, complete with instructions for confused undergraduates.
Egg Pods, London, U.K.
The French cuisine at London's Sketch restaurant has earned it a Michelin star, but as many Yelp reviews show, most diners leave just as entranced by its futuristic pod-shaped toilets.
Sticky Fingers, Mönchengladbach, Germany
Rolling Stones-inspired lip-shaped urinals have popped up all over the globe, including this pair in the Rosenmeer hotel in Mönchengladbach, Germany. They often don't stay up long – a similar style of loo in Vienna's National Opera was removed in 2006 after protests they were offensive to women.
Orange Outhouses, Tel Aviv, Israel
Orange you glad they're here? These vibrant restrooms are a welcome sight for any traveler who has indulged in a little too much musical fruit.
Whimsical Washrooms, Kawakawa, New Zealand
If you seek artist Friedenrich Hundertwasser's monument, look to Kawakawa, New Zealand, where the reclusive Austrian designed a public restroom full of the plant life and colorful mosaics that were his trademark. As Hundertwasser's final work, the toilets have become a major tourist attraction for this tiny North Island town.
The Previous Champ: Field Museum, Chicago, U.S.A.
Before the Varsity Theater was honored, the bathrooms in Chicago's Field Museumheld the America's Best Restroom crown on the strength of their earth-friendly sinks and relaxing sky-inspired decor.
