FAR HILLS, N.J. — Mr. Hot Stuff, Modem and All the Way Jose staged a hammer and tongs battle through the home stretch in the $400,000, Grade 1 Grand National Steeplechase, the signature event at the 97th Far Hills Race Meeting on Oct. 21.
When the "Official" sign was posted, two certainties emerged.
Mrs. S.K. Johnston, Jr.'s Mr. Hot Stuff was the winner by a nose.
Mr. Hot Stuff's trainer, Monkton, Md.'s Jack Fisher, was a record setting million dollar trainer.
However, the members of the National Turfwriters and Broadcasters Association and the National Throughbred Racing Association who vote for the "Steeplechaser-of-the-Year" Award have a problem on their hands.
Mr. Hot Stuff and Irish jockey Danny Mullins — who flew from Ireland to ride — were close to or on the lead for most of North America's richest 'chase.
As the field of six turned for the uphill run to the line, the three money horses were nose to nose. When they reached level ground inside the eighth pole, Mr. Hot Stuff made the lead with right handed encouragement from Mullins.
The photo showed Mr. Hot Stuff, an 11-year-old gelded son of Tiznow, the winner by a nose. Modem and Jack Doyle were second by a nose over All the Way Jose and Darren Nagle, the National Steeplechase Association leading rider with 14 wins.
When Peter McGiveney, the NSA's money manager, cuts the purse money checks, $240,000 will go into Jill Johnston's Chatanooga, Tenn. band account and Fisher will be credited with that much in statistical dollars in the race for the trainers' annual award.
With the Grand National in the books, Fisher has amassed $1,182,050 in purses breaking his 2008 mark of $1,156,907 with five racing weeks remaining before the annual NSA banquet.
After the trophy presentation, Mrs. Johnston was asked about running Mr. Hot Stuff at the advanced age of 11. "He likes what he does," she said. "When he comes back to Tennessee every winter, he mopes around the pasture and looks sad. So, I send him back to Jack for another year."
The voters for the Eclipse Award for 'Chaser of the Year had better like their chosen task.
With only five Grade 1 races on the NSA fixture card, five different horses have one win each.
Scorpiancer (out of training) won the Iroquois. Swansea Mile (not entered in the Grand National) won Saratoga's A.P. Smithwick Memorial two weeks before Diplomat (not entered) won the N.Y. Turf Writers Handicap. All the Way Jose, the winner of Belmont's Lonesome Glory was third in the Grand National by two noses.
When asked how he felt after winning The American Grand National, Mullins said, "To win the biggest race on the American stage is terrific. Maybe some American trainers can find some more horses for me to ride."
'Here in America?' Danny. "Jockeys will go anywhere to ride good horses," he said.
With the Far Hills Race Committee planning a $1 million purse for the American Grand National's centennial three years hence (if not sooner), Mullins said a purse like that "will get an Irish jockey to go to America, England, Ireland or anywhere in the world to ride a good horse."

Each year in the week leading up to E3 we like to get the DDNet team to share some thoughts about the show, an what they're expecting to see, or would like to see happen. Unlike our recent Friday Ten, these are more genuine thoughts, based on what we already know about the show (because let's face it, a lot gets leaked these days), and what would seem likely to be the reasonable announcements for the big publishers and developers to make.
And without further ado, here's our second predictions piece; it's Dean's turn!
E3 for me this year is going to be a little different to many other years in the sense that I won't necessarily be looking for new games to be announced. On the other hand I want to see more from games I already know about. Here is what I am hoping happens at E3 and some things that could potentially happen:
Microsoft's E3 presentation last year was one of the finest that I've seen it do. It was games, games, and nothing but the games. The big shocker last year was when the company came out and showed Rise of the Tomb Raider as a "timed exclusive." This year we may see another shocker with rumours floating around that Microsoft wants to buy Silent Hill, the franchise that recently suffered a setback when Konami killed a Kojima project in the franchise. Phil Spencer has since denied this, but who knows, maybe the publisher is keeping it hidden until E3? I'm also interested to see if the introduction of the Windows 10 operating system will make an impact and how it will interact with the Xbox. Finally there is always one thing that is a dead set guarantee from Microsoft, the new Call of Duty. No doubt Microsoft has cooked up something special and exclusive with Activision there.
|Tomb Raider is looking gooooooood
Sony has already come out and said that exclusives from it will be 'sparse' in 2015, so it's interesting to see what the stage show will focus on this year. We will certainly be seeing more of the already announced line-up such as Uncharted 4 and No Mans Sky, as well as the very exciting Until Dawn, but apart from that it is difficult to see which direction Sony will take this year. The one thing Sony might do a big push with, is Morpheus. Oculus already has a release date and price, will Sony follow suit? In any case I am looking forward to The Last of Us: VR Edition (I hope this is a thing).
Nintendo is at a standstill right now. None of us have a real idea of where the Wii U sits within its own lifecycle, but could this year's E3 be its last? If Nintendo does indeed show off this "NX", we may know what the future of the Wii U is. I'm sure there will be more Amiibo's on display, to work with even more games, and hopefully we see more of Starfox and Zelda Wii U, and possibly the announcement of Mario Galaxy 3. In the meantime I'm hoping to see more Mario Maker to see what kind of crazy levels people can come up with.
Now that I've got through the big guys let's have a look at some of the publishers who have stage time. All I want to see from Square Enix this year is more Kingdom Hearts 3. Just give me a release date please and hopefully it's sooner rather than later. Also I want to see Square show off some Just Cause 3. We already know Bethesda will be showing off Fallout 4 and the Doom reboot, also I think it will be looking at Elder Scrolls Online, and potentially a very early teaser of Elder Scrolls VI.
EA will undoubtedly be showing off Star Wars Battlefront in preparation for its release later this year, and I'm hoping to see some gameplay of that. More Mirrors Edge 2 would be great, and maybe, just maybe, we will see Mass Effect 4 in some way, shape or form. I think it's a little early for Ubisoft to announce a Watch Dogs 2, but we will be seeing Assassin's Creed as usual, as well as The Division and the new Tom Clancy.
|The big hardware story of this year's E3?
Also for the first time, the PC guys will have their own timeslot at E3 for the stage, where plenty of companies will be announcing the latest hardware and upgrades there. AMD will be at the forefront launching its brand new graphics cards with high bandwidth memory.
I think this E3 won't have as many ground breaking announcements as the years before, but it still will have plenty to offer for all players out there.

The Supreme Court of the United States typically has a docket filed with difficult cases, these cases can change very little or a huge amount. It is not always easy to tell, some high profile cases have limited effect on the daily lives of citizens, while lower profile cases change life significantly. A case which seems to be under the radar at the moment on the docket is out of Wisconsin and is called Gill v. Whitford.
The Cases: Gill v. Whitford
I am out of town this week and will follow up with a full post next week. Enjoy your day!
The Basics: Civil Procedure
In the event someone chooses to go to trial and seeks a remedy, most of the time the result is civil litigation. The process can be complex and difficult. It can be a challenge to go through the system and there are rules which need to be followed. Those rules are called the rules of Civil Procedure.
In business, there are two main types of contracts when interacting with clients. This can be between two businesses or a business and an individual, the form is the same. These agreements are either the sales of goods or the sale of services. Service agreements are governed by the general contract law of the states. Sales for goods are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code
Litigation comes in a variety of different forms. I am not talking about the different reasons people decide to sue, after all there are nearly as many reasons as there are cases currently ongoing. No, there are three main branches of types of cases heard by the courts - criminal, legal, and equitable. Criminal is fairly self explanatory, it is the difference between law and equity where there is some confusion.

I remember going to Ostend with a bunch of colleagues. We had swimsuits--I think it was July or August--and there was a bit of sun, but the wind soon had us covering up. I went and bought one of those windbreaks that comes with a rubber mallet to pound the stakes into the sand. We huddled behind it, getting sunburned after all--on our faces and hands, which were the only parts left exposed.
At least the food is good.

It's good news you enjoyed your short stay at the beach, away from the bustlings of your daily life as well as the mobs that congregate in summer at Ostende. Waiting for more photos.

Hi TOF, Welcome and thank you for posting a comment. Yes, the weather in Ostend can be quite whimsical. But even it is overcast and/or windy, the UV index is very high. A lot of people aren't aware of it and get sunburn. And the food is delicious indeed :)
Bob, Retirement always looked good to me, but after this short break even more. Monday it is 'back to work' though ...
Chm, I wouldn't want to be in Ostend, or any other coastal town, on a sunny weekend in July or August. The place must be crowded. June is just right for me.
Virginia, Thank you. More photos and stories coming up soon.

David contemplating the Head of Goliath
Orazio Gentileschi
1563 – 1639
David contemplating the Head of Goliath
Painted circa 1692
Oil on lapis lazuli, laid on slate: 10 x 7 5/8 inches, 25 x 19 cm
● Sold
- with The Weiss Gallery, 2012;
- Private collection, UK, on loan to the National Gallery, London.
- Roberto Contini, Francesco Solinas, et al, (ed.), Exhibition catalogue: Artemisia 1593 – 1654: Pouvoir, Gloire et Passions d'une Femme Peintre, Paris, 2012, p. 31, no. 9.
- Paris, Musée Maillol, Artemisia 1593 – 1654: Pouvoir, Gloire et Passions d'une Femme Peintre, 14 March – 15 July 2012.
This extraordinary object, painted on the semi-precious stone lapis lazuli, is unique in the oeuvre of Orazio Gentileschi, arguably one of the greatest painters of the baroque period. The painting's early function and history are as yet unknown but its intimate scale, exquisite handling and the sheer costliness of the lapis all indicate that it was an important commission for a patron with highly sophisticated tastes. Prof. Dott. Francesco Solinas, co-curator of the Artemisia Gentileschi exhibition in which the painting was recently exhibited (Paris, Musée Maillol, 2012), has suggested that it may have been commissioned as a papal gift. Notably, the painting is datable to circa 1612, shortly after Orazio had completed work on two important fresco cycles for the Borghese: one for an apartment in Pope Paul V's grand palazzo on the Quirinal, and the other in the casino (or garden loggia) belonging to the pope's nephew, Cardinal Scipione Borghese. The artist was already fifty years old by this date, but his reputation and demand for his work grew considerably in the wake of Caravaggio's death, and resulted in some of his most important commissions – not only in Italy – but also abroad, in Paris and London.
The Old Testament subject is taken from I Samuel, 17: 50-51. David is portrayed after the fight – victorious yet quietly contemplative, and in stark contrast to Orazio's earlier, dramatically Caravaggesque depiction of David slaying Goliath in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin (c.1607 – 1609). Orazio's fascination with the subject reveals in turn his interest in the works of his contemporaries, Caravaggio and Guido Reni, both of whom often turned to the subject of David and Goliath. Reni, in particular, treated the theme of David contemplating the head of Goliath in his large canvas of c. 1604 – 1606 (Musée du Louvre, Paris), probably only a few years before Orazio conceived his own composition. However, where Reni's rendition is elegantly contrived, Orazio's is artfully naturalistic: he is as much interested in the textures of David's sheepskin cloak as he is in the youth's emotions, adapting the sharp caravaggesque lighting of his figure to a naturalistic outdoor setting. Nonetheless, his David is as muscular as a Roman statue, and the sheepskin is artfully draped to expose his impressive figure in repose, while he ponders Goliath's head at his feet. He nonchalantly clasps the stone with which he killed Goliath in his left hand, a sword in his right. David's victory over Goliath was intended as a metaphor of virtue – an exemplum virtutis – and this intimate presentation of David in a secluded landscape, simply dressed and holding his humble weapon, serves to underline the picture's symbolic purpose.

The Vogue Japan Darkness Shines with Glamour photoshoot comes as a part of the magazine's June 2014 edition. Model Katlin Aas is found at the center of the production which was put on by photographer Katja Rahlwes.
In each image, Rahlwes teased out the beauty of 1970s disco-chic styles. Aas took on the decade with ease via loose, low hanging tops, shimmering dresses and fishnet stockings. Stylist Patti Wilson selected the classic looks and infused them with a bit of her own style, seen in metallic visors, racy lingerie and an assortment of chunky, oversize accessories.
While vintage concepts are essential to this display of fashion, the lines incorporated in Darkness Shines with Glamour are contemporary as Wilson included brands such as Gucci, Alexandre Vauthier and Sonia Rykiel.

Rep. Steve Scalise is close to clinching enough support to sew up the race for majority whip, allies of the Louisiana Republican said Thursday, aggressively dismissing the impact of Rep. Marlin Stuzman's entrance into the race hours earlier.
Stutzman, a third-term lawmaker from Indiana, is popular in the conference and especially well-liked by the young conservatives who comprised the classes of 2010 and 2012. He also enjoys good relations with powerful conservative groups outside the Capitol.
Scalise was thought to be the favorite going head-to-head with Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam, who also has declared for the race. But Stutzman's sudden candidacy complicates the math for Scalise. Stutzman has built a solid reputation in conservative circles, and could be a more attractive option to the younger Republican Study Commiitee members than Scalise, whose leadership of the group — some call it a "debate society" — has drawn grumbles from some members looking for a more assertive approach.
Stutzman, according to a Republican source, also will highlight this year's vote on a flood insurance — a bill that Scalise advocated for his Bayou constituents, but many conservatives opposed. Scalise, for his part, made no apologies for the flood insurance push. And his friends pushed back Thursday on the "debate society" argument, pointing out that Scalise's RSC has consistently moved legislation to the floor through regular order.
It's not clear that Stutzman can win — odds are, he probably can't — but if he successfully splinters the conservative vote, Roskam could claim the whip's office with a coalition of moderates and establishment-friendly conservatives.
Indeed, a Roskam aide disputed that Scalise is close to clinching the post. The winner must grab the backing of at least a majority of the 233 House Republicans who will show up to vote in closed-door balloting set for Thursday. "The numbers being floated out there are low," said Stephanie Kittredge of the amount of support she says is lining up behind her own boss. She declined to give a number.
Kittredge acknowledged that the argument made by Scalise forces that "red states" need to be representated on the House leadership team may be persuasive. But she argued that it was not relevant for this job: "The whip's job is to round up and count votes — and not just southern votes."
Scalise and his team are focused on Stutzmam; they are already hitting him hard. One ally of the current RSC chairman pointed out that Stutzman, who was thought to be interested in the job back in 2012, didn't show up for his interview with the committee's founding members.
"Steve is close to hitting the magic number of votes he'll need," the source said, adding that Scalise hopes to have the race wrapped up by Thursday evening when lawmakers leave town for the weekend.

Client Reviews
"Very Very Pleased "
Written on: 08/03/2018 by J Derrington
I have had a few headshot sessions and photoshoots before and I hate having my picture taken. I was put immediately at ease and given slight directions to help change stance and also the thought process for each photo. The pictures themselves are of high quality (even before editing) and in terms of value for money, I would say that for photos of this quality and the quantity of images that you can get afterwards, is phenomenally good value.
I can't wait for 2 years down the line when I will need new ones. Thanks!
"A pleasure to work with"
Written on: 02/03/2018 by Joel Quinn Via Reviewcentre.com
I contacted Rory for an Actors Headshot Session and I was not disappointed. Rory was extremely pleasant and welcoming . As for the session itself I couldn't have felt more comfortable about my shots. He kept me visually updated throughout the shoot with how they were turning out so that we could adjust and tweak things to get the final shots I was looking for!

Design & Construction
Grass Gauchos is a landscape design, construction, and maintenance company, serving customers in the Burlington, Vermont area with quality work. Our services include driveways, walkways and patios, masonry walls, water features, fireplaces and fire pits. We also offer landscape design and construction, landscape maintenance and professional landscape design.
Grass Gauchos Paver Driveway Timelapse
Here's the whole process of building a paver driveway in just a few minutes!Posted on our Facebook page The Grass Gauchos LLC
Landscape Design
The first important step in creating a new landscape for your home or modifying an existing one is creating a design that suits your needs. Our designers will work with you to create the right design for you and will stay involved with the project from the initial design phase until project completion to ensure you receive exactly what you envisioned. We create both comprehensive landscape plans and 3D renderings for this purpose. Below are some recent examples of our initial design and the competed project.
Essex Backyard
This plan featured a dry stream bed with stone bridge, moss garden, and specimen trees.
Burlington Front Yard
This plan was a complete landscape renovation, 50-year-old yews were removed and replaced with a variety of perennials and shrubs. A concrete walkway was replaced with pavers and the lawn was resodded. All this combined to create a more exciting curb appeal!
Village Backyard
This backyard patio was created using glacial till boulders for seats and the fire pit. Evergreens were planted as a backdrop and an existing arborvitae was cut down and re-used to make the light poles that surround the patio.
From start to finish our crews work tirelessly to ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget. Please find photos below illustrating some of these projects.
100 Depot Road
This project took an unusable hillside in a backyard and created multiple terraces. The project featured a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and firepit with spa area.
115 Bay Road
The centerpiece of this project was a 10,000-gallon koi pond. The project also featured multiple other water features, patio, and extensive planting beds.

2 July 2012: The UNFCCC Secretariat has launched the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) International Photo, Video and Podcast Contest 2012 under the theme "CDM Changing Lives." The contest aims to select compelling and original entries showcasing the benefits of the Kyoto Protocol's CDM using different media.
The three categories of the contest – photo, video and podcast – aim to inspire participants to communicate simple yet powerful messages about the benefits of the CDM. Professional and amateur photographers are invited to submit original, artistic photos on the theme "CDM Changing Lives," showcasing CDM projects and related benefits. Professional and amateur videographers are invited to create a compelling video that completes the phrase, "People should know about this CDM project because?" For the podcast category, a new addition to this year's contest, broadcasters, freelancers and amateurs are invited to create a podcast that answers the question "How has my community/city/country benefited from the CDM?"
Winning entries will be displayed in a booth at the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference in Doha, Qatar, in December 2012, while short-listed entries may feature in print and promotional material on the UNFCCC website and other platforms. The submission deadline for all three categories is 20 September 2012. [Contest Announcement]

|Jake Kryski looks to wheel and deal vs. Cougars
- It isn't often the Prince George Cougars come into Kelowna on a massive high, but that will be the case tonight. The Cougars make their first visit to Prospera Place this season to face-off against the Kelowna Rockets (AM 1150 broadcast starts with pre-game show at 6:30). The Cougars, who the Rockets have feasted upon for points over the last five seasons (Rockets are 19-5-0-0), are undefeated with three wins and not a single stumble in the early stages of the young season. That's an impressive start no matter how you cut it. All three wins have come on the road. Under new head coach Richard Matvichuk, the Cougars won back-to-back games in Victoria last weekend and then managed to pull out a 7-6 win in Vancouver (Langley) last night. While the Cougars roster consists of an older group, they are winning without 19 year-old Jansen Harkins, who remains with the NHL's Winnipeg Jets. It's early, but three of the top five scorers in the WHL all come from Prince George. Granted they have played a league high three games, but the point is they are off to a terrific start and are playing with confidence. The Rockets will have their hands full, not only tonight, but over the next four games when the two teams meet again at the CN Centre Friday and Saturday night.
- Am I surprised at the Cougars start? Yes and no. Stealing two games out of Victoria was awfully impressive, but lets not forget that Prince George is built to win and they have no one to blame but themselves if this season isn't a roaring success. Get it? Cougars and roaring success? If you don't, I am not about to explain. They should challenge for the BC Division title this season. When was the last time they won it? The answer is NEVER.
- I said at the start of the season the Cougars would have to improve in two key areas. They had to commit to team defense. Oh ya, it is great to score goals, but you have to defend if you want to win. That needs, and should change under Matvichuk's watch. The 43 year-old spent 14 seasons in the NHL in an effort to keep the puck out of his own net and made a solid career of doing it successfully. The Cougars were also guilty of taking terrible penalties. Leading the WHL in fighting majors, in today's game, never translates into success in the standings. Sure they won 36 games last year, but they were quickly disposed of in the opening round of lat springs playoffs and that likely cost head coach Mark Hollick his job. It will be interesting to see how the Cougars play the game under Matvichuk. As any new coach will tell you, it will be hard to change all of the bad habits overnight, but we should see a solid improvement in those key areas (commitment to defence/discipline) as the season goes along.
- For the Rockets, finally some good news on the player personnel front where Braydyn Chizen and Devante Stephens return to the line-up. Chizen was with the Minnesota Wild while Stephens was in camp with the Buffalo Sabres. Neither saw an NHL pre-season game but coming back from a pro experience can only benefit these two players heading into a new season. This now gives Assistant Coach Kris Mallette more options on match ups and rookie d-man Konrad Belcourt will be eased into the league, not thrown into the deep end of the pool without a life jacket. Only Lucas Johansen remains at an NHL camp among the d-core, which will be the same group from a season ago that didn't feature a 19 or 20 year-old blueliner.
- The most intriguing part of tonight's game is likely the two rookie head coaches. Jason Smith and Richard Matvichuk have a combined 30 years of NHL playing experience. The objective for both of them was containing the other teams top scorers as shutdown defencemen. They played against one another for years at the NHL level and now find themselves coaching against one another. Both Smith and Matvichuk are first round NHL draft picks (Smith by New Jersey, 18th overall - 1992. Matvichuk by Minnesota, 8th overall in 1991) and both played for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships. Matvichuk played in 2002 while Smith played a season later in 2003. Smith has a gold medal. Matvichuk does not. Matvichuk has a Stanley Cup ring. Smith does not. Smith was named the WHL's Top D-man in 1992-93. Matvichuk won the award a season earlier with the Saskatoon Blades (1991-92).

Anyone that lives out as I do will tell you the work load goes up as the thermometer goes down, it takes more work just to keep what you got.
As soon as the snow hardened enough to hold the motohorse I headed up the mountain the other day to do some cold weather prevention up at the water intake that powers my electricity.
Mr Cougar and I just keep missing each other up there.
This is some of that water after it reaches here, from the tap in my kitchen sink, a degree or two above freezing as it is. I wish it was like that in the summer.
A good time to go for a tear down to the hot spring, see if I'm missing any excitement.
There wasn't a soul around though, and it can be the most peaceful place.
I hopped on motohorse and charged up behind a little to where the sun was still shining.
I ended up at the falls, a spot I often retreat to on hot afternoons in the summer.
A few milestones in the old blog here. (I'm not sure if blog is the right term or not)
Recently we set a record for the most number of visitors in a day. !
A record today as well, for the most amount of countries in a day, at 12. !

Hi Friends and Fellow Crafters!
Provo Craft is having a design contest for their HSN premiere of the new E-2 (not the anniversary edition) on Monday September 26th. They announced this contest way back in August, but I wasn't going to enter. On Saturday night, I decided that I was going to enter the contest. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! LOL! I worked on it most of Sunday and Monday, and here is my finished project. The only requirement was that the banner spell Cricut.
I sent it today by overnight, so at least it's on it way!
For the first pennant, I used the Bug Head from Cricut Everyday and dressed him with a mask from Teresa Collins' Chic and Scary. I used a harlequin paper from K&Company, then added Metallic gems with my I-Rock. I added some feathers and used pop dots to raise the mask up on my little bugs face. I should note that before I packed the banner up, I added more feathers. I think it looked better, but I forgot to take a picture. The flower is from Close To My Heart Art Philosophy. If you haven't ordered this one yet, contact my good friend Belinda at CTMH . She is a great rep! I embellished the flower with two flowers from my Prima stash, some colored wire that I curled and a stick pin from my stash. I used some Black Soot Distress Ink on it, then put a dab of green stickles on my finger and rubbed it on the flower. The mat on this pennant and the last pennant is from Happy Hauntings. I used my Gypsy to hide the contours and cut the image on Recollections paper. I sponged some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink on to the paper. I also roughed up some tulle, then used Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink Refiller to dye it. I adhered it under the mat for some shabby goodness.
For the first letter "C", I used the Jack O'Lantern from Chic and Scary. I added some black cardstock to the back of it and glossed the eyes and mouth with Cyrstal Lacquer. I colored accented the Jack O'Lantern with some YR copics, just for fun. I think it added a little more dimension to it. The flower is Art Philosophy. It's the spiky flower. I added a prima flower as a base for it. Since I was going for a shabby look, I sort of mashed the flower up a bit. Did I mention how much I love this cartridge?
Of course the pennant needed a Black Cat, so I chose the Cat from Chic and Scary. I used Crystal Lacquer on him to make him nice and shiny! Where there is a Black Cat on Halloween, there has to be a Witch. My Witch must have left in a hurry because she forgot her hat! The Witch's Hat is from Happy Hauntings. I distressed the edges of the hat with the Tonic Distressing Tool. I added Martha Stewart Onyx Glitter to the hat's band using Crystal Lacquer and popped the Spider up with a Pop Dot.
On the next letter "C", I went with my favorite cut on the Happy Hauntings Cartridge. The Witch's Boot. To make it look like the boot was laced, I added some Divine Twine and tied a little twine bow on it. Another flower from Art Philosophy with some gauze and twine finish this pennant.
So that is my last minute Halloween Cricut banner. I had some fun creating it, but I have one last photo to share.

I don't know about you, but there's just something really satisfying about buying a new lipstick. I won't lie, it takes me a good few weeks to actually ruin the 'perfection' of a new lipstick, but once I do i'll be wearing that certain shade daily.
MAC has been a brand that I've loved for quite a long time actually, initially it was the vast amount of different colours that drew me in, well that and the packaging. I just think the black and silver go really well together, and looks quite expensive. But now after repurchasing them for a few years, it's the quality that keeps bringing me back. I recently repurchased another tube of MAC'S Creme Cup, I want to say its the third tube?! That must tell you how much I love the shade and how well it lasts on. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my drug store lipsticks too- but there's nothing like purchasing a new one from MAC.
I don't have the biggest collection, in fact, it used to be a lot bigger. Truth is I have over 60 lipsticks from different brands at the moment (yep, I know, extreme) so I'm trying to not buy any more. However the shades I do have from MAC are my absolute favourites, so I thought I would share them with you, and how I store them.
Back Row - Relentlessly Red - Diva - Flat out Fabulous
Front Row - All Fired Up - Morange - Cremecup
Relentlessly Red - Retro Matte
I love this one, especially in the summer months. It's perfect on a night out as it just doesn't budge from your lips.
Diva - Matte
I won't lie, if this shade wasn't a matte I definitely wouldn't love it as much as I do. It's so easy to apply because it just doesn't bleed, being a darker colour that's something you definitely don't want. This shade often comes out in the colder months but I have been known to wear this through the summer in the evenings too. The only downside is it can be a little drying if you aren't prepared before hand (wearing a lip balm!)
Flat out Fabulous - Retro Matte
One of my most daring shades, a bright purple. This is the second tube I've repurchased because I love it so much, although saying that I do find it really hard to match with outfits so I don't wear it as much as I should do. First world problems haha.. I haven't actually touched this colour since I bought it around 3 months ago, hopefully i'll make use of it this summer.
All Fired Up - Retro Matte
This one is really similar in photos to Relentlessly Red but if you're a true lipstick lover you'll be able to tell that it's slightly darker. Matt laughs at me for saying that because he can't tell the difference, but if you know you know right?!
Morange - Amplified
My all time favourite holiday shade. I wore this every single evening when I went to Mexico as this shade looks incredible with a tan. I do love me an orange lipstick, and Morange is probably my favourite. Again, it's build-able, so if you're not keen on sporting a bright orange lip it'll still work well for you.
Cremecup - Cremesheen
If you're new to MAC or lipsticks in general then I'd say Cremecup is the perfect beginners shade, it suits pretty much every skin tone, and is the most perfect pale pink shade. Being naturally tanned (ish) I thought this would look like I'd put foundation over my lips, (remember that trend?!) but it doesn't thank the lord, it's one of my fave nudes; I reach for this shade when I want a more subtle every day look. & this is actually my 4th tube!
You can probably tell I do love my bright bold colours, I never used to be this brave.. In fact I used to be the kind of person that only used to wear a lip balm. Now look at me, owning bright orange's and reds haha. The good thing with these is that they're build-able, so even if you aren't that confident with wearing such a bright colour, you can still get away with wearing them.
Storage wise, I keep the lipsticks in a acrylic lipstick holder, I think I bought mine from Tiger around 2 years for £4 each, they still have them and they're the cheapest ones I've found. Ive had mine for a while now and they're still going strong! I wouldn't store them any other way because, well whats the point of buying nice lipsticks if you can't have them on display on your dressing table, right?!

Another Update
Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't been on here to give you another update... I want to start by saying that I appreciate all of your kind words and support! Every time that I receive another comment from one of my buddies, I feel so much better! :) I apologize in advance for the negativity in this post, but it is unbelievable that someone I trusted did this to me, and it helps me cope when I am able to vent and discuss this. This will be the last post that I ever write about Daniel Lagow (I feel the name Danny is too cheerful a word for him)... In the week since I last posted I have found out so many disturbing things about this person, that I literally can't believe I have been fooled for this long! I spoke with Daniel's mistress on the phone and she did not know about me (well she claimed not to). She said that she met him in July 2010 at a bar. He wasn't wearing a ring, asked her for her number that night, and then told her he has been divorced for 3 years! I'm disgusted knowing that he picked her up like that, then came home to me and crawled into my bed!!! I told her all of the lies that he has been feeding me, and I told her that he was sleeping in my bed up until he moved into her house almost 3 weeks ago. He called me after I hung up with her, and he threatened me and yelled at me. I have also discovered that he was keeping me a secret from his co-workers! He has been telling everyone that he works with that he has been divorced for 2 years! I found it strange that he never introduced me to his friends, but he does work an opposite schedule from me, so it made sense that our paths never crossed... One of his co-workers found it strange that he was saying we have been divorced 2 years, but he was still driving my car to work... His family didn't even know that Daniel had taken my car from me, and that I haven't been behind the wheel of a car in 2 years! He told his family that we were sharing my car, which is not true. Daniel has been taking dinner to his mistress on lunch breaks, and telling me he is working over time almost every night and then going to her house after work. He even worked "over time" on my birthday, his birthday, Valentine's Day, our anniversary, etc. As I mentioned, he has moved in with her (the day he left me) and it is less than 2 miles from my home! Daniel went to my sister's wedding in Las Vegas with me in July, and he told his mistress and co-workers that he was going on a guy's weekend!!! In reality, he was spending time with his wife, her family, and sharing an intimate moment with all of us! After Daniel left me I also discovered all of the bills he didn't pay and I found out that he has been smoking cigarettes for years! His co-worker told me that when he was in school they used to tell him to bring me out with them when they went for a few drinks and he would tell them "she used to party, but she doesn't anymore", or he would say "she doesn't like to go out". That really hurt my feelings because I am a really fun person, and I do like going out! I'm also disgusted because I paid for Daniel's college education, and I supported him financially at home by paying all of the bills. I also used to quiz him for tests, proofread his reports, etc., etc... I'm sad that his friends never got to meet me, and that they probably have a very different picture in their head of me (and, of course, they think that I'm his ex-wife)... If his mistress has any common sense (*Update, she doesn't have any common sense- he's still living there), she will get rid of him right now before it's too late! After she talked to me, he probably turned on the tears, told her he would never do that to her, he never loved me, he left me for her, blah, blah, blah... He is a sociopath, a pathological liar, and a parasite! I was his host for a while, but he has drained everything out of me, and he has moved on to the next host! I will end this post with some pictures of the wedding that I had with this person 5 years ago.... I will never think of this day again, nor will I ever mention Daniel's name. November 18 will no longer be a day of remembering our wedding, it will be a day that I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I got rid of this crazy person. The love that I had for him is completely gone and I hope that someday I find a real man that can treat me the way that I deserve to be treated! These pictures make me feel empty inside because I feel that he never really cared about or loved me (he has some mental problems that keep him from feeling human emotions)...
And with that I am closing this chapter of my life... I can't say that I regret meeting him because I learned a lot about myself and I really do love his family... But I do feel that he has wasted 10 years of my life, and I will not waste another minute!!!! :) See you soon with a crafting project of some kind!!! :) Thanks again for the support you have shown me...

Hello everyone... I am sorry I have not been posting very much lately, or making it over to see your wonderful blogs... I am going through a very tough personal time that is making it hard for me to even function, eat, smile, etc. By the time I make it home from work, I can't exert any more energy. I consider my online buddies very special to me, so I will tell you the basic outline of what has happened. My husband, Danny Lagow, confessed on Monday that he has been cheating on me. He did not tell me this on his own, I found a strange phone number on our phone records that he had been making a lot of phone calls and texts to. He left me while I was at work on Monday and he has not spoken to me since (he's being a huge coward). It has now been a full week, and I saw them holding hands in public together on Saturday. I found out on my own that he has been talking to her for at least a year behind my back. I am also finding a TON of unpaid bills that he was responsible for, so I am now dealing with that mountain of debt and the overwhelming feeling of lonliness. The love I had for him is pretty much gone, and has been replaced with negative feelings, but it is still an adjustment for me seeing that we have been together for 10 years. I hope to be up and posting soon because I love visiting your blogs and making cards. Crafting is a very stress relieving outlet for me and I look forward to creating "masterpieces" again. See you soon, I'm sure.

Terrus is a red wine from the Douro region in Portugal. It is produced by Maria da Assunção Foy who inherited 10 hectares of land in 2000 and set about creating a successfully functioning vineyard and winery. The first year of production was 2005, so it is a relatively young wine but already it has been garnering positive praise.
Given the small size of the vineyard, production is restricted to no more than 4000 bottles a year, but this also means that great care is given to the smallest details, from planting to bottling. This is not just a small business but also a labour or love.
The Terrus enologist is award-winning Francisco Montenegro.
We welcome visitors to the vineyard, either on day visits or longer stays as we have two small houses to rent out for short breaks.

San Fran as a tourist.
Just recapturing the beauty of life and living.
Steve loves showing me his ass.
Of course we had to have a little fun time release.
Steve Cruz and Vinnie. Made it to the top!!
Vinnie on the mountain looking down.
Closer view of the city from above the clouds on the mountain.
Best view of the city above the clouds.
Look at this windy road up the mountain. The fear of heights started kicking in, or should i say the fear of falling off of a mountain.
Beautiful scenery on the way up the mountain

Looking from afar wanting to go over to alcatraz but didnt get tickets in advance.
The closest i got to Alcatraz.
Vinnie in San Fran.
Close up of the view of city thru the Golden Gate bridge.
Steve Cruz & Vinnie at best view of city without fog!
In my whole career as for filming and such in San Fran i hadn't had a chance yet to go and venture out and see the true beauty of San Francisco. So as a tourist after my last movie filming i extended my visit a few days to see the sites. As a friend of mine (Steve Cruz) shows me the sites, here are a few pics i took as tourists.
I tried to goto alcatraz but it seems you have to buy tickets in advance to go there. Didnt know it was soo popular to have to buy tickets in advance, so i just took pictures of it from afar, but i did get a chance to goto Mt Tamalpias where the view of San Fran was amazing above the clouds and thru the golden gate bridge and also Muir Woods where the largest, prehistoric trees in the world still exist(the Giant Redwoods & Douglas furs).
Even got some candid shots of me and Steve Cruz playing around although i was sick as a dog with a fever for 3 days from the pride parade were we was wearing speedo's on the fire engine float(the things we do for our art and to look good). All better now after 2 weeks. Thank God!!

In memory of Kent North
Hot House Entertainment announced today it had learned that Lifetime Exclusive and dear friend Kent North died on July 4th. "We are all shocked and deeply saddened," said Hot House President Steven Scarborough. "Our deepest sympathy goes out to Kent's friends and family, especially his lover Lloyd."
Anyone wishing to send cards or condolences to his lover Lloyd should address them to Hot House Entertainment, 1433 17th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.
I am shocked as well as dismayed. It is very sad to have known someone, that was such a great person, to come to such an untimely end.
As a personal note. Kent was one of the good guys out there that always had a smile on his face. It was a pleasure working with him and knowing him. Never do i remember anything but smiles on his face and a chip cheery attitude. My condolences go out to his loved ones. He will be missed!!

Gay Pride in San Francisco
Hothouse men in there firemen outfits. That came off very shortly after the pic was taken.
more of the hothouse staff that were gaurding us on the float from fans.
man for it being as sunny as it was there sure was a full moon. Guess which is me!
Looking and having fun on the float.
Waving to all you out there.
This is Gay Pride in San Francisco. It was a great turn out and allot of people where there to be in the festivities. We were on a rented old firetruck classic. what a float! it was great to have a firefighter theme going on which is one very masculine type of fantasy for many.
I was glad to be a part of it.

Eduardo Vargas scored four goals as defending champions Chile embarrassed Mexico 7-0 in a remarkable quarter-final to reach the final four of the Copa America Centenario.
Disjointed and inconsistent heading into Saturday's blockbuster clash at Levi's Stadium, Chile were the complete opposite as they dismantled Mexico, whose 22-game unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end in scenes similar to Brazil's 7-1 demolition at the hands of Germany at the 2014 World Cup.
All eyes were on Mexico amid their impeccable run of form but they failed to perform in a dark day for Mexican football, seemingly giving up in second half, conceding three goals in the space of eight minutes after Vargas and Edson Puch put the Chileans in control at the interval.
Alexis Sanchez - who moved joint second on the nation's all-time goalscoring list alongside Ivan Zamorano with his 34th international strike - got in on the action four minutes into the second half before team-mate Vargas completed his hat-trick and then some, making it six goals in two matches.
Puch added a second of his own late in the game as Chile earned a semi-final showdown with Colombia.
No less than six changes were made by Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio following their 1-1 draw with Venezuela in the final group game, with Guillermo Ochoa, Miguel Layun, Nestor Araujo, Jesus Duenas, Jesus Corona and Javier Hernandez coming in for Jose Corona, Diego Reyes, Jorge Torres, Jesus Molina, Javier Aquino and Oribe Peralta.
Chile were far more settled after accounting for Panama 4-2 in their Group D finale, Puch replacing Mauricio Isla.
Playing an aggressive pressing game, the Chileans almost broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, when Arturo Vidal played a perfectly-weighed throughball to Puch, who was thwarted by a last-ditch challenge from Araujo as the ball deflected wide for a corner.
But Puch was not to be denied his first international goal six minutes later, with the Mexico-based midfielder on hand to tuck away the rebound after Ochoa's clearance fell to his feet.
Mexico gradually improved as the half wore on but Chile proved to be a constant threat on the counter-attack.
Vargas scored in the 37th minute but his strike was correctly ruled out for offside, though the linesman could do nothing as the in-form forward doubled Chile's lead on the stroke of half-time.
Alexis Sanchez played an inviting ball into the six-yard box and Vargas nipped in front of his opponent before firing beyond Ochoa.
Things went from bad to worse for Mexico in the second half as Chile made it 4-0 inside 10 minutes.
After winning the ball, Vidal laid it into the path of Sanchez for a simple finish in the 49th minute and Mexico were torn to shreds as Vargas netted his second of the match following a defensive error three minutes later.
Vargas was at it again approaching the hour-mark and he then fired the ball into the roof of the net from an acute angle with 16 minutes remaining as Mexico were put well and truly to the sword, with the Hoffenheim man taking his international tally to 31 goals, fourth all-time for Chile.
And the man who started the onslaught, Puch, finished it with his brace three minutes from time.

Dark Chocolate Clementine & Grapefruit Peels
makes about 2 cups
5 clementines
1 grapefruit
1 cup sugar
5 ounces dark chocolate
Boil a large pot of water. Slice off the ends of the fruit and score a line down each piece of fruit from top to bottom. Gently remove each peel, keeping the peels whole.
Cut the peels into thin strips (about 1/4 inch). Add the peels to the boiling water, blanch for 30 seconds, remove (keep the boiling water going) and rinse under cold water. Repeat 30 seconds of blanching, drain the pot, and run the peels under cold water.
Combine 1 1/2 cups water and the cup of sugar to a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the peels and bring to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for one hour. Remove the peels from the sugar and let dry on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly hardened.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate and get a large piece of parchment ready for the drying peels. Dip the peels in the chocolate and let dry until hardened. Store in an airtight container or in the freezer.
If you'd like to use the clementine flesh from the previous recipe, make the following cake!
Clementine Almond Cake
makes 12 servings
For the cake:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
5 to 6 clementines, peeled (seeds removed)
1/2 cup almond flour
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
For the glaze:
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon rum
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a bundt pan with cooking spray. Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed for at least 30 seconds or until fully combined.
Add the eggs and beat on medium speed for one minute. In a blender or food processor, pulse the clementines until they are partially broken down. Add the clementines to the butter mixture and beat to combine. Then, slowly add the flours, baking soda and baking powder and beat until just combined. Add the batter to the bundt pan and bake for 55 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes before inverting.
To make the glaze, melt butter with rum in a microwave and then add the powdered sugar. Briskly stir until combined and immediately drizzle over cake.
