1 Basic S. Protocols Don t Let Water Or Mold Spin Out Of Control Follow the Sewage, Water, Air Quality, s Provided By The S. Team at: Local: Toll Free: DS SWAindd 1 8/9/05 11:36:20 AM
2 S. Survey for Safety Hazards Stop inspect area for hazards Caution identify potential health threats Categorize water source Determine if evacuation necessary Go Notify the proper licensed professionals for electrical, plumbing or HVAC hazards. Treat water loss according to procedures based on category. Help make the work area safe. Potential safety hazards must be identified Check structural integrity, electrical hazards Slip hazards and gas leaks must be assessed Warn customers of imminent hazards If possible eliminate safety hazards Post warning signs and erect barriers Water may contain pathogens or chemicals Increased humidity and microbial activity may cause respiratory distress in susceptible populations (elderly, infirm, or very young) Follow the procedures as outlined in the IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration STOP If water source cannot be located and stopped, contact fire department by calling 911. Do not attempt to shutoff electrical power while standing in water. Call Electrician if needed. CAUTION Water damages are classified into three categories; 1- Clean 2 - Gray 3 - Black Follow IICRC S-500 water damage guidelines (page 2) GO Have a written Water Damage response plan and appointed manager for reporting and documentation. Have water damage drying specialist review plans and inspect property to identify hazards. Drying Solutions S. 24/7 response teams at DS SWAindd 2 8/9/05 11:36:21 AM
3 Identify and Categorize the Source of water before proceeding. Not all water sources are clean! Water removal and drying procedures should not begin until the water source is known. When the source and category of the water is determined an action plan can be formulated. Once water source is identified and proper engineering controls (PPE, chemicals and equipment) are in place, water removal can begin while maintaining and/or restoring adequate environmental hygiene. IICRC S500 separates into three categories: I-Clean Water no immediate health risk II-Gray Water may contain organic or chemical pollutants (class I may become Class II if not remediated in first 48 hours) III-Black Water contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemicals COLOR IS NOT AN INDICATOR! Determine level of personal protection needed based on water category. Determine if disinfection or biocides treatment are indicated (refer to IICRC S500 standards) Wear proper level of PPE Treat sewage and ground water with biocides to reduce the amount of harmful pathogens. Dispose of the water safely based on type (ie: sewage water must be disposed of into a sewage system). STOP Class III do not attempt remediation, call professional. All porous materials must be removed and affected areas cleaned and decontaminated prior to put back. CAUTION Class II - Microorganisms are always present, whether clean, gray or black, if left unattended microbial amplification will occur in all categories of water classification with the passage of time. GO Class I - Rapid right response will reduce microbial activity and eliminate many costly repairs. Drying should begin within hours. Drying Solutions S. 24/7 response teams at DS SWAindd 3 8/9/05 11:36:22 AM
4 Actions Required Black water source, visible mold or Damage covers 100+ SF Damage covers SF and found in less than 48 hours (clean or gray water) No walls or ceilings involved Damage covers less than 50 SF and found in less than 24 hours (with clean water source) Call professional drying company Call professional drying company Remove and protect wet contents Open books, drawers, and prop cushions to assist drying Remove as much water as possible Use fans for evaporation and keep humidity less than 45% and temp between degrees STOP Precautions must be taken prior to remediation or putting airflow on a drying job when black water or mold is present. Follow IICRC S-500, EPA, or NYC- Dept of Health Standards. CAUTION Time and temperature aggravate Category II contamination significantly. The risk of increasing damage to materials and health hazards can be greatly minimized with proper action by remediation specialists. GO Have a written Water Damage response plan and appointed manager for directing response and documenting actions taken. Drying Solutions S. 24/7 response teams at DS SWAindd 4 8/9/05 11:36:23 AM
5 Safety survey, Categorize and Classify Water loss; Class I, II, III, or IV I Slow rate of evaporation II Fast rate of evaporation III Fastest rate of evaporation IV Specialty Drying* *Hardwood floors, Crawlspaces, Documents Apply four principles of drying 1. Extraction 2. Evaporation 3. Dehumidification 4. Temperature Control Classification determines equipment needs, based on amount of water remaining after extraction and material s inherent ability to release water Control microbial growth while drying Evaporate moisture into the air M J J Collect and remove the evaporated moisture Monitor drying progress daily and document Drying should continue uninterrupted until moisture content of affected materials below 15% on Delmhorst relative scale Wet always goes to dry, if it can! In our business, just like yours, a Rapid Response with the Right Equipment is CRUCIAL! Call Drying Solutions for Emergency Response to Water or Air Quality Incidents. Let our S.

For those who want to increase traffic to their website, understanding how search engine optimization is the best way to do that. If you are willing to change, continue reading to learn how to utilize SEO on your website.
When setting up a page using SEO techniques, don't be tricked into thinking additional advertising will boost your search engine ranking. Although advertising by working with other sites can get you great traffic while making your income higher. However, it may not boost the ranking you have.
Focus as much on keeping people on your site as you do to get them there. This will, in turn, assist in your PageRank numbers. New evidence suggests that the length of time a visitor spends on a website influences the sites rankings. It has an influence on your site's PageRank. Using discussion boards and forums is an effective way to keep traffic on your website for quite a while.
Search Engine Results
Interesting meta tags on each web page can help improve your search engine results. These tags are worth the time it takes, because they will offer a little summary of what the page entails, either on your site or in the search engine results. Your meta tags should be useful and true. This will help in getting visitors to your site, even over sites that might rank higher than you in the search engine results.
Present yourself as an experienced veteran of your field. As an expert this is a great tool for Internet marketing that can make serious money. Build a niche website that targets clientele interested in your specialty, then use SEO best practices to lead them to it. Keep in mind that it's critical to your company's success to give customers the items they want, rather than what you might assume they want.
Create descriptive, short title tags to make it easier for search engines to understand and index your page's content. When making title tags, keep the character count under 60. Most search engines don't display anything past that number. Search engines will also give less significance to words after the 60 character limit.
You can take a do-it-yourself approach to learning the tips and tricks of becoming an SEO. There is a wide array of resources you can look to for help in learning the trade. You can look at tons of terrific websites and books as well.
Blog on your site so you can increase your ranks on a search engine. Then, more visitors will visit your website.
There are those that think that implement comment tags with keywords embedded in them is a way to generate more traffic. Instead, you should focus on the actual content of your website.
You site should be easy to navigate and to read. If you want to improve your search engine ranking, make sure you site is neatly designed and accessible for a variety of users. These functions, along with clarity and functionality, will optimize your website for search engines and readers.
Avoid being too diverse with your keyword usage. Use 10 or so keywords that tell what your website is about. Analytical tools can help bring the most visitors to your site.
Maybe sometimes people think that wealth needs to be distributed differently, but unfortunately, people that think like this don't get bills paid. It is vital for you to do what you need to do to achieve your own brand of success. Use these SEO concepts to give your business a real chance of enduring successfully.

Before Machines and After Machines. Who came first? (and why it doesn't matter)
I was intrigued by this story today.
Established Belfast-based band Before Machines have been contacted by another band who have asked them to change their name because it "is a bit close to" theirs. The other band have released nothing and played no gigs, whereas Before Machines have three releases with a debut album on the way, and a varied gig history. So what's the name of the new band? After Machines. That's right, it has the word "machines" in it.
As any Spotify or Last.fm user will tell you, bands with similar (and by similar I actually mean identical!) names crop up all the time. Hefner, ESG, Nirvana, Health, Bridge and Tunnel are some examples off the top of my head.
The reason for this is that, despite what After Machines claim in their correspondence, you cannot copyright a name. There may be some confusion over this as there has been a lot of talk about Olympic trade mark laws this year, and some people think the authorities have copyrighted some words when they have actually trademarked them.
I was trying to think of a precedent for a this story and I cannot. Imagine if My Bloody Valentine contacted Bullet for My Valentine when they started, and what about the Black Keys, the Black Angels and Black Lips? It's nonsense really. Good thing Simple Machines have split up though...

'Explore Rockford's Roots' May 11
By Susan Johnson
Copy Editor
South West Ideas For Today and Tomorrow (SWIFTT) invites you to "Explore Rockford's Roots" Sunday, May 11. Three southwest Rockford attractions will open their doors to the public and offer food coupons that may be redeemed at seven area eating establishments.

Main St.; and Guanajuato, 519 Marchesano Drive.
Interview with Dr. Rudy Valdez
Last year, Dr. Rudy Valdez, vice president of SWIFTT, granted The Rock River Times an interview explaining the "Explore Rockford's Roots" project. This year, he was pleased to give us an update on the event.
TRRT: This is the second year for "Explore Rockford's Roots." Have you had any comments from the public about the last one?
Rudy Valdez: They want more of the same. They want to have more communicated out, even more so. We went through The Rock River Times, and we also went to El Sol, the Spanish-language newspaper. It's a weekly publication as well. … Especially the first time, it's hard for people to recognize, but then when they hear, "You go see it, it's great," they say, "I never knew that restaurant was there." One of the TV stations was outside of Tinker Swiss Cottage, interviewing people as they came out. … WREX asked a gentleman about 60 years old and his son. They asked, "What did you find out about [this event]?" He said: "I saw some fliers and here I am — not doing anything that I have to do, so I decided to come out, and I had no idea it was here."
They asked him if he was new to the area. "No," he said. "I've lived here all my life." This is exactly what we want. They can make it easier for people to see the different things that are out there so they can come back whenever they want. I want to make it easy by providing something free. Oct. 27 [2013] was a beautiful, sunny day. Feedback from the different restaurants and Klehm and Tinker and Ethnic Heritage Museum was that we needed to do it right away instead of waiting a full year. They asked if we could do it earlier. They selected Mother's Day. It was actually much easier this time. They didn't want any changes. All we did for the fliers was change the date from autumn to spring.
We are expecting a lot more people based on the feedback. Luichi's Hot Dogs had about 100 people that day. He said he was going to be closed for Mother's Day, but he will stay open from noon to 4 because he didn't want to miss it. He might stay open later. It was very successful, and instead of doing it annually, it might end up being semi-annual. Last year was good. This year, I believe it will be better. One of the main advantages now — by doing it last year [in the fall], they were tearing up South Main as we spoke. People would see the roads all torn up. That's why we did it before they tore up the roads. Now, people know this is a good thing to go to because they've already been there. The three destinations will bring them down initially, but the food will bring them back.
TRRT: What is different about the program this year?
RV: We might make it semi-annual. We are going to see how this works. If this is as successful as we think it's going to be, we're going to follow up in fall. We may do it in spring and fall in future years. We plan to do it in fall every year, and we're trying it out to see how it works in spring.
TRRT: Has anyone made any suggestions about things they'd like to see added to this event?
RV: We would like to expand it if other restaurants would like to participate. A lot of the restaurants — Maria's has closed, so it's really open if any of the other eateries want to get hold of me or e-mail the SWIFTT office, that would be great. We want to expand it as much as possible. We went to the different places and asked, what other places should we do? I asked seven, and all seven said yes. We are not going north into the downtown area or east to the Broadway area or Seventh Street. We're staying in the SWIFTT area, which is South Main and southwest Rockford.
Note: Dr. Valdez may be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. SWIFTT's website is www.swiftt.org.

It's a crazy, comical climb up the corporate ladder.
The Neshaminy Valley Music Theatre will show you just how crazy and comical when it presents its production of "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying"�at 2 and 8 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays - April 2, 9 and 16 - at Neshaminy High School in Langhorne.
Based on Shepherd Mead's 1952 book of the same name, "How To Succeed ..." follows the adventures of J. Pierrepont Finch, a window-washer who, with the aid of a trusty self-help book, intends to rise through the ranks of the World Wide Wicket Company.
Will he learn "The Company Way"... or will he find out that "A Secretary Is Not A Toy"?
The original Broadway production of "How To Succeed ..." won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It has been said that it "stings mischievously and laughs uproariously ... and belongs to the blue chips among modern musicals."
Tickets: $18; students and children under 18, $12.50; active military personnel with ID, free; matinees only - seniors, $12.50.
The school is at 2001 Old Lincoln Highway.
Information and reservations: 267-733-8876; firstname.lastname@example.com; www.NVMT.org.
Neshaminy Valley Music Theatre has been aiming to stage Broadway-quality musical productions in Bucks County since 1956.
Each year, the group stages a musical to support a scholarship fund. Grants are awarded to deserving graduates who will be furthering their educations in the fine arts or the performing arts.
To date, the group has given more than $120,000 in scholarship grants with more than $60,000 having been awarded over the past 10 years.
The Neshaminy Valley Music Theatre production of "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" stars Joan Zalot as Rosemary Pilkington and Michael Zweig as J. Pierrepont Finch.

I've been waiting patiently for the s5, after having the s3 since launch. My upgrade comes in March, but isn't so beneficial as before (new customer price vs. $150 off current price), so i'm not so sure.
Anyways, just had to say that this comment section is OUTRAGEOUSLY lacking in spelling correctly or any idea of how to string together a sentence. Bizarre
M and M, 12 Jan 2014Yepp, anyone can explain me why do we need a 560 ppi screen when we can't distinguish over 350... moreYup.
Agree, that 560 ppi is a bit too much, to be useful.
You are wrong about human eye , though. Do not believe the Messiah. Good human eye is around 477 ppi at 12" distance. Well, even if one wants to look closer it should not be more than 500-510ppi.
But who told you that S5 will be 560ppi, that you have this spume on your mouth?
Stop complaining about the lag... That is the Snapdragon and the RAM is all about. True that Android was lag. But this was PREVIOUSLY. For now, it could be say almost as smotth as IOS.
The upgrading is so little, but call it innovation..?
P/S: Dont get manipulated by these Phone manufacturer
I do not want a 2k display, just bring back the FM-radio and make it able to survive "droptests"/accidental drops, and make it less slippery!
I always love the statement about "premium, metal unibody" , and why not "fingerprint scanner" . LOL
The "Experts" are never tired, to underline the supremacy of their lovely Apple.
Only that no one, but the izombies buy "premium, metal unibody" and "fingerprint scanner" with huge bezels. And they don't buy anything , without Apple logo on it.(see HTC One sales-lol)
Normal ppl will never trade swappable battery and SD for sealed cheap tin-can for smartphones. They even don't trust the tin-can for denting, electric accidents, and it's feel in the hand.
M and M, 12 Jan 2014Yepp, anyone can explain me why do we need a 560 ppi screen when we can't distinguish over 350... moreProbably this will help your understanding better. Let innovation bring its way. Don't suppress it.
AnonD-223649, 13 Jan 2014Even if Samsung comes up with an unprecedented phone like with a multi tier parking in the bac... moreSure it depends upon the user, how they treat the device...are they know memory management, etc.. Im S4 user, n theres just 2gb internal memory free n 3gb free memory of 32gb microSD in here.. but my device still running butter smooth as the begun..
Anonymous, 12 Jan 2014Then what about lumia ? Already it is not selling well .over 10 million galaxy s4 sold in firs... moreHell yeahh.. SAMSUNG rules the world.. :D
My s4 i9505 is super smooth.. it depends upon the user.. if the user is noob so is his phone.. 90% cannot tweak his phone only those few knows..
Even if Samsung comes up with an unprecedented phone like with a multi tier parking in the back, or 3 horns on the top and a screen that shops for you, they can't fix the lag in their phones. I have a GS4 just because I hate apple. But Samsung has no talent in creating something that Apple created 5 years ago, a smooth-working phone.
Jay, 13 Jan 2014Can't wait for sammy's neXt big thing.About 8 weeks to wait...
Just checked looks like my contract up May from S3 contract,,even though its well gone and used many other smartphones since..Do love Samsung though cannot wait to see what they bring out...
it might have a cable that connects to the tv. we can watch our movies and tv shows.
AnonD-134497, 12 Jan 2014I think they went for S4 or Note 3 already... Time will tell. Deal with it Samsung is the new king. Nokia is dead
AnonD-134497, 12 Jan 2014I thought they already updated to an S4 or S4 Active or S4 Advanced or S4 Advanced Active or...Nop Most S4 user are new Samsung user from blackberry, iphone, nokia etc...
AnonD-134497, 12 Jan 2014The real question is, how many people will buy S5 since "Millions" who bought S4 and... moreAll the S3 owner like my self and the note 1 onwer that want to have a smaller screen.
Why they don't wait to launch in the next MWC? Oo
That's an excellent moment to launch, yeah!
But, right then... London? Nothing bad, but "we have" the MWC! (#facepalm)
Anonymous, 12 Jan 2014I like all the specs so far except for the 2k display . I think full HD Is enough specially wh... moreSo what :D. You could still boast, that your phone's resolution much higher than most TV's and monitors (excluding the 4k's and 8k ones). But still it's sad that Samsung decided not to use amoled technology on 2k displays (probably).

I have been a business broker in Nashville for many years. During those years, I have seen, over and over, how quickly life can change a business and not always in a good way.
The solution was obvious: consult with business owners to help plan for change, both expected and unexpected.
Unfortunately, the "fierce urgency of now" left me trapped in the cycle of client acquisition, engagement, finding unaffiliated prospective owners, negotiating the deal, shepherding the due diligence and financing. All these things lead to successful closings (successful in that the owner gets paid and the new owner takes over; not always successful for the long-term continuity of the business). In short, I was trapped in the same time-starved position as that of my clients.
Well, I've bitten the bullet and now work with business owners to help them make good financial decisions before things get dicey – things that, working with Nashville business owners since 2002, I've seen all too often like:
When events beyond your control reduce your firm's value and you have not prepared for them. I can help. Some examples include:
being forced to sell a business during an economic downswing (e.g. 2008)
being sued
not enough time to find a third-party buyer or find one willing to pay full-value
a star employee leaves, maybe starting their own firm or going to a competitor
someone important to the business becomes disabled or passes
someone your business depends on just burns out and loses their edge
employee fraud
Taxes that reduce the value you pocket for your firm. Also, taxes increase withdraws needed from your retirement account. For instance, to net $100,000 annually at 2017 tax rates (married, filing jointly), you must withdraw $122,000 a year from your retirement fund. What if that $100,000 retirement income is available tax-free and the funds you save in taxes continue to earn good returns tax-free?
Eventually, you will sell you business or turn out the lights, close the doors, and walk away. Those are your two options, period. Unless you have goals and a plan, you and your family can't assume to be fully paid for the value you've created in your business.
Here's a menu of my new offerings.

Last night the HCTRA had a public meeting on proposed toll road on Fairmont Pkwy at the Texas Chiropractic College. Commissioner Sylvia Garcia gave a good explanation on how this came about. Plans for the toll road have been on the books for the last ten years. The goal was to get the public opinion on the proposed toll road and alternative solutions. The public overwhelmingly disagreed with the toll road, Discussions that it will make a major negative impact to the tax base since most of the sales tax collected comes from that area.

Hello Brothers,
In the hot summer, When you wait patiently for your package, the package arrived as expected, you open it with anticipation, and you discover that it's not the white crystalline powder as the expected, but the hard rock. What happened? It is poor quality of Deca and testosterone enanthate? No, Nandrolone Decanoate and Testosterone Enanthate from white crystalline powder into a stone block, because the melting point of Nandrolone Decanoate and Testosterone Enanthate is low, nearly 30-36°C. When Deca and test Enanthate meet high temperature in transit will be turned to liquid, again encounter cold air such as air conditioners, the liquid is converted to a solid, this is the hard stone.
You can do an experiment, especially Nandrolone Decanoate, when you hold with your hand lightly in the bag outside, you will see the deca into oily liquid, and then put it inside the refrigerator frozen for 5 minutes, after that just the oily liquid have become a bead block stick on the bag.
Stone Nandrolone Decanoate and Testosterone Enanthate is not affect the use effect, in the correct formula dissolves into injection can be used. In order to facilitate the measurement, you can use mechanical force to rock stone nandrolone and testosterone enanthate crushed, with a grinder can be ground into finer powder.
Thanks for your viewing and also sincerely hope these info will be helpful for you.
If you have any question about this pls feel free to contact Caddy. We will be very happy to help you.

Backsplash Tile
A product that provides both style and functionality to your home.
Backsplash TileKitchen backsplash tile not only protects your walls, it also beautifies your cooking space and adds value to your home. Ceramic has become a popular backsplash tile material for a variety of reasons. Some of them include being a lot easier to clean, the availability of a wide selection of colors and attractive patterns, and the sense of luxury they add to a kitchen.
Some people like a simple backsplash in a solid color that compliment kitchen cabinets and counters. Others prefer mosaic patterns, custom designs, or even a tile mural. When deciding on a pattern or color scheme, be as creative as you like. The modular nature of tiles allows for countless options. The only limits are your taste and imagination.
Even a simple backsplash will cause your guests to look twice and add value to your home. A creative mosaic adds that extra something that can really sell a kitchen when it comes time to move. Of course, you'll want to enjoy your remodeled kitchen first. Fortunately, the tiles will continue to look new for years.
Backsplash tiles in the kitchen don't have to be limited to behind the stove. Adding a backsplash behind the sink helps protect the drywall from water damage, and it resists ugly mold. (for the same reasons, bathrooms are another place where tile should be considered.) In some homes, backsplash tile is used to line all the kitchen walls, maximizing the protection and allowing the use of appliances like blenders and griddles anywhere in the room.
Whatever design you might have in mind, we'll help you find the perfect tiles for building a backsplash in your kitchen. At Johnson Carpet One, we've helped a lot of home owners add a backsplash to their kitchen. Our wide selection of tiles gives you plenty of variety.

Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can use this reference table to have the B.C. dates
From: The History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen
Translated with the sanction of the author by William Purdie Dickson
Page 136
Indulgences towards Existing Arrangements
The former cantonal constitutions with their hereditary kings, or their presiding feudal-oligarchies, continued in the main to subsist after the conquest, and even the system of clientship, which made certain cantons dependent on others more powerful, was not abolished, although no doubt with the loss of political independence its edge was taken off. The sole object of Caesar was, while making use of the existing dynastic, feudalist, and hegemonic divisions, to arrange matters in the interest of Rome, and to bring everywhere into power the men favourably disposed to the foreign rule.
Caesar spared no pains to form a Roman party in Gaul; extensive rewards in money and specially in confiscated estates were bestowed on his adherents, and places in the common council and the first offices of state in their cantons were procured for them by Caesar's influence. Those cantons in which a sufficiently strong and trustworthy Roman party existed, such as those of the Remi, the Lingones, the Haedui, were favoured by the bestowal of a freer communal constitution--the right of alliance, as it was called--and by preferences in the regulation of the matter of hegemony.
The national worship and its priests seem to have been spared by Caesar from the outset as far as possible; no trace is found in his case of measures such as were adopted in later times by the Roman rulers against the Druidical system, and with this is probably connected the fact that his Gallic wars, so far as we see, do not at all bear the character of religious warfare after the fashion which formed so prominent a feature of the Britannic wars subsequently.

Customizable Wooden Arbor Kit
I made the original version of this arbor (pictured) for my sister's wedding. That version was made entirely of cedar, and engineered to be constructed without tools or fasteners. I was able to assemble it by myself in less than 25 minutes!
That version of my arbor is available in the wood, color, and distress level of your choice. Detailed paint jobs are also available.
Though the kit is stable, safe, and secure when assembled for events or indoors; it cannot withstand the constant rigors of wind and weather without additional support pieces and metal fasteners. The legs must also be secured permanently to the ground or decking surface.
For permanent installations, a separate, more substantial kit is also offered, with all the same customizable options. These kits will come with pre-drilled holes and complete hardware. - Power-drill and wood glue required for assembly. I will work with Buyers to determine the best method for fastening the legs to their ground surface.

The planning for Audrey's 4th Birthday is underway. I love planning both kids parties, it is so much fun. I was never a "girly-girl" and Audrey very much is. But, the older I get, the more I seem to like the frilly girl stuff. With that said she has chosen a Fancy Nancy party theme.
If you have a little girl these book are wonderful. Written by Jane O'Connor. They learn basic french words and see that everyone is unique in their own way. As her mother, I am so proud of her for picking a strong female from a book!!
Fancy Nancy is well, fancy (Duh!) And Audrey wants her party that way too. Fuchsia, glitter, diamonds, feathers, we're doing it all. I think our setting will be a french tea party.
I can't wait to see all of the little girls dressed up in gowns eating tea sandwiches and spilling fruit punch all over the place! If you're going to be around August 9th and have little munchkins come on by!
I am really getting into this party. It is strange since I was the little girl climbing trees and riding my bike all day. Yeah I had dolls too, but that was for days when I couldn't be outside getting dirty.
How can a persons likes and dislikes so drastically change over time? I am a grown woman and I am getting all excited about the new dress-up clothes the girls get to wear. It could be that as a mom we love what our kids love. But, more importantly we LOVE seeing them happy and excited. I could chalk this up to being a silly fun mom, but I really think I secretly like all this fluffy, glittery stuff.
Ssshhhh! Don't tell anyone about me loving the froufrou!
Now the tough part...Boys. What in the world should I do with Zane? There will be 3 other boys (brothers to the girl attendance) coming as well. One thing for sure is Zane is NOT into all this stuff. So what to do with them? If I don't keep them busy they will terrorize the party.
I know the boys will want to be apart of cake and ice cream. Who wouldn't? I am all ears for any suggestions, PLEASE!!
This planning momma is done for the evening. I am going to go watch a Disney movie with the munchkin (Zane) and mini-munchkin (Audrey).
Ta Ta for now

Shadows in the Mist by Amy Flint
Dr. Porter Biggleswade.
An unusual name for an unusual woman with an unusual occupation.
Porter is "albino" who has a gift for seeing shadows of people who are no longer. Ironic for a living person who may look like a shadow herself. Pale hair, pale skin, thin but black eyes. Very smart and not to be fooled, and with a wry sense of humor. Porter is a ghost hunter. (Not like that t.v. show. Good grief.)
"When Dr. Porter Biggleswade, a straight-talking paranormal investigator famed for her ability to see ghosts, is headhunted by the Paranormal Investigation Unit (PIU) at All Saints University in York, things aren't as straightforward as they first appear. Porter's first major case involves investigating claims of paranormal activity at the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth, yet ghostly feuds turn out to be the least of her worries. An anonymous donor with an unexplained interest in the investigator, jealous colleagues, warring parents, and an encounter with a farmer convinced he is being haunted by spectral sheep make Porter question her decision to leave London."
The University in York (reported to be the most haunted city in England) has received a donation to set up the PIU. The donor wants Porter as part of the team. One problem for Porter and her department, is the University already has a parapsychology department. The staff is not happy that PIU has been set up and is getting better equipment then they have. There is also a lot of competition in this area, apparently. Colleagues are bidding for contracts behind other's backs while flirting with those (specifically Porter) in the running. Some of the "ghosts" aren't ghosts at all. Porter and her intern, Clarice, spend many nights investigating the supernatural complaints. It is dangerous sometimes. Porter gets clobbered in the head, falls and faints a few times. But it is all in a days' or rather a nights' work.
I especially liked the story line about the Bronte family; of the Charlotte and Emily family. I really didn't know much about the actual family, so it was fun to learn more about them through the children's shenanigans, and their father's worry over brother Branwell. Did I say one of my favorite all time books is Wuthering Heights? I see some of their story in Wuthering Heights. Most of what is described in Shadows in the Mist about the Bronte family, is based on fact. Not the haunting part. Where they lived, who was in the household, brother Branwell's addiction, even Tabby, their maid.
This first book sets us up for book two: The Haunting of Delavere Hall. I will be reading that soon.
By the way, have you ever seen a shadow?
