Royal Line

John Gosden’s Group One exploits home and abroad with superstars such as Enable and Cracksman have been a high-profile theme throughout the summer.

It was therefore a highly appropriate culmination in the Marathonbet-sponsored November Handicap, on the final day of the turf campaign, that Royal Line put behind him his eclipse as favourite 12 months ago.

He scooted clear at 9-1 this time under Robert Havlin to beat Hughie Morrison’s 33-1 shot Not So Sleepy and Ian Williams’ Reshoun by one and a half lengths and a head. Birds Of Prey was a neck further back in fourth, ridden by Megan Nicholls for her father, Paul.

Gosden, who had failed to add to his record-equalling fifth November Handicap success for the past six years, took the family tally to nine – adding to his father Towser’s three winners.

He has also put himself one ahead of Sam Hall, whose five wins came in the days when the race was known as the Manchester November Handicap and run on the other side of the Pennines.

From the moment Havlin and Royal Line headed Birds Of Prey two furlongs out, it was clear the four-year-old was a class apart in this traditionally ultra-competitive mile-and-a-half event.

In Gosden’s absence, Havlin was happy to pay tribute to the master trainer’s skills.

He said: “We’ve seen how he can turn horses out after a long lay-off – then we saw Enable again (at the Breeders’ Cup) last week.”

Royal Line had run only twice since finishing seventh at his first attempt in this race.

“He was rated 96, but he was a three-year-old and this race doesn’t have good stats for three-year-olds,” added Havlin.

“We did fancy him (then), but he was a lot busier last year.

“He’s won it off 105 today, and I hope we can keep him for next year.

“He’s the type you’d like to keep around the place.”

Havlin had plenty in hand, even though Royal Line was giving up to a stone to all but two of his rivals.

“He’s won his last few gallops at home, so we came here hopeful,” he said.

“I didn’t really have a plan. I thought if he jumps slow, I’ll slot in.

“I had to keep letting him go forward, and eventually found a spot one off the fence.

“But then I felt as if I got there a mile too soon – because when they opened up at the three (furlong pole), he just took me in there.

“He really loves soft ground, and he quickened up like a smart horse there.”

Should I Replace The Compressor Or Buy A New A/C Unit?

Should I Replace The Compressor Or Buy A New A/C Unit?
Call us at 919-886-4822

That is a tough decision to make. Your air conditioner isn’t working and you find out that the compressor needs replacing and it’s expensive! So should you just go ahead and replace the compressor, or should you get a new unit instead? Here are some tips to help you make the best decision:

1: Confirm the compressor really needs replacing

Just so you don’t get ripped off, don’t assume that the first diagnosis is 100% accurate.

Some contractors are quick to say you have a bad compressor, but the problem may be something else. Be sure you have a reputable Company making the diagnosis. If you have concerns about the diagnosis, ask the technician to have a field supervisor to come out and confirm his findings . This should be done at no extra charge.

2: Figure out if the compressor is under warranty

If the compressor is still under warranty, then you only have to pay for the cost of labor.

The technician should be able to tell you if the compressor is still under warranty by the serial number on the unit.

3: Compare replacing the compressor with replacing the entire unit

If you have to pay for labor and the compressor, you are better off replace the entire system. This is especially true if the system is 10 years or older. At this point,  it would be like putting on an expensive band-aid on that may not hold very long. Also, have you had to put refrigerant into your system in the past couple of years? That may be an indication that your evaporator coil is leaking. Putting in a new compressor will not solve this problem and will actually increase the chances of it failing again.

We know this is a big decision and want to give you all the information so you can make an informed decision for your family. Call us now for a free in home consultation absolutely free of charge. (919) 886-4822

In Honour of the Swedish Names!

12-04-1945 , by Traduction from swedish Kate Wacz , ed. Svenska Dagbladet

Svenska Dagbladet , the daily in Sweden wrote 1945 april 20th

Since the battle of Budapest is over, after the bloody battle of months and months finally we are happy to learn that the Swedes stationed in Hungary, Budapest, appears to be safe – some news of their destiny has reached us.

More over we are very proud and happy to learn that our Swedish Legation and the Swedish Red Cross in Budapest has been able to rescue – during the Siege of Budapest – in the most critical period they succeded to save lifes whom we protected.

That is formost Professor Valdemar Langlet, and attachées Per Anger and Raoul Wallenberg, who especially have performed a great humanitarian work ! THIS GIVES A HIGH HONOUR FOR THE GREAT SWEDES!

For the persecuted who stood under the Swedish Protection, and on the initiativ of the Swedish King Gustav the V. has been succesfully protected and saved. Schutz-Brief has been issued by the Swedish Red Cross (officially about 5.000). Under this desparate time and days and under the terror that has been executed by the Gestapo and Arrow Cross. It is really a great miracle – that our Protective Letters, « Schütz-Briefs » has protected and has been respected in such a high degree and has contributed highly to save thousends of Life.

Only a few details has reached us so far in Stockholm. the destiny of our Swedish Officcials in Budapest – the last few months – when most of the other diplomats have left and closed offices.

Already this fact demands and gives high respect. They stayed on – in Budapest was not only a HEROIC GESTURE, MORE OVER THEY GAVE HONOUR UPON SWEDEN AND THEIR NAMES. Was not only a heroic DEEDS, gesture but it was dictated for the genuine sence of duty that they have taken on to PROTECT. They have Save Thousends of Lifes, and attained honour upon themselves and upon their Country Sweden.

Justin Bieber backs RAW up on this

One of Robert Anton Wilson's heresies as a libertarian was that he thought the U.S. should have a health care system that covers everyone, just like the rest of the developed world. Who knew Justin Bieber was a health care pundit? Pandagon defends Bieber in an amusing post. (Via Arthur Hlavaty,who probably doesn't listen to much Justin Bieber.)

There is no sign of it; recargo lists it as "Private corporate", so I

Search for a new MD commences

Reading Phoenix Choir (RPC) has begun its search for a new music director to replace David Crown, who is leaving after six very successful years to succeed Nicholas Cleobury as music director of Oxford Bach Choir.

Since his appointment in spring 2010, David has directed the choir in dozens of concerts, led RPC on tours of Yorkshire, Cardiff and Cork, and guided the choir in new initiatives including workshops with young choirs, the carol service in Reading Minster and the annual Come and Sing.

David commented:

Reading Phoenix Choir is without doubt one of the finest amateur choirs in the UK and I am extremely sad to be leaving them after six exciting and stimulating years. They are a wonderfully friendly group of hard working singers, performing a wide range of repertoire to universal acclaim. I cannot say how much I have enjoyed my time at the helm of this tremendous group.

Gill Leishman, chair of RPC added:

The choir has benefited enormously from David’s appointment as our music director six years ago. Although we are sad to see him go, we are looking forward to the next stage of the journey and are excited by the idea of a new leader to continue the development of this amazing choir.

Applications are invited from accomplished conductors with a strong track record in directing adult mixed-voice choirs. They will be inspiring and energetic, engaging and committed, and excited by the prospect of leading this excellent group of singers.

The full job description can be downloaded here. The closing date for applications is Monday 23 May. Auditions and interviews will be held in June and July.

For further information about RPC, visit Questions regarding the vacancy can be sent to

Can I run a gas line from our basement furnace to a garage furnace?

Answered by Brett Kulina ~ April 14, 2012 ~ No Comments

My husband wants to hook up a new furnace in our detached garage, but currently there is no gas line to the garage. He has dug a trench from the house to the garage and wants to install a new gas line. Is this safe? Any tips? Thank you.

Brett Kulina

Although your project sounds simple enough, you must contact your natural gas provider so that they can inspect your utility service and determine if it is okay for you to extend a gas line from your house to your garage. Some utility companies will not let homeowners do any work on service runs (even digging trenches), while other utility companies have no problem with DIY projects. One determining factor for your project is going to be the size of the existing primary gas line that runs from the street to your gas meter. If the size of the gas line is big enough, then the utility company may just install a "T" after the meter base, which would extend gas service to your garage via a new gas line. If the existing service line is too small to supply both the house and the garage, then you may have to upgrade the size of the gas line or install a second gas service and meter. Either way, the gas provider should be the only one determining which is the best way to proceed with your project.

Corporation vs Sole Proprietorship
Corporations vs. Partnership
Advantages and Disadvantages

Comparison of Corporations to Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships

Advantages and Disadvantages

Corporations enjoy many advantages over business partnerships and sole proprietorship. But there are also disadvantages. Check out the Advantages and Disadvantages.

Stockholders are not liable for corporate debts. This is the most important advantage of a corporation. In a sole proprietorship and partnership, the owners are personally liable for the debts of the business. If the assets of the sole proprietorship or partnership cannot satisfy the debt, creditors can go after each owner's personal assets. to make up the difference. On the other hand, if a corporation runs out of funds, its owners are usually not responsible.

Under certain circumstances, an individual stockholder may be liable for corporate debts. This is sometimes known to as "piercing the corporate veil".

These include:
  • If a stockholder personally guarantees a debt.
  • If personal funds are intermingled with funds of the corporation.
  • If a corporation fails to have director and shareholder meetings.
  • If the corporation has minimal capitalization or minimal insurance.
  • If the corporation fails to pay state taxes or otherwise violates state tax law.

Continuous life. The life of a corporation, unlike that of a business partnerships and sole proprietorship, does not expire upon the death of its stockholdersdirectors or officers.

Easier to raise money. An corporation has many avenues to raise capital. It can sell shares of stock, and it can create new types of stock, such as preferred stock, with different voting or profit characteristics. Plus, investors will rest assured that they will not be personally liable for corporate debts.

Ease of transfer. Ownership interests in a corporation may be sold to third parties without disturbing the continued operation of the business. The business of a sole proprietorship or partnership, on the other hand, cannot be sold whole; instead, each of its assets, licenses and permits must be individually transferred, and new bank accounts and tax identification numbers are required.

Higher cost. Corporations cost more to set up and run than a sole proprietorship or partnership. For example, there are the initial formation fees, filing fees and annual state fees. These costs are partially offset by lower insurance costs.

Formal organization and corporate formalities. A corporation can only be created by filing legal documents with the state. In addition, a corporation must adhere to technical formalities. These include holding director and shareholder meetings, recording minutes, having the board of directors approve major business transactions and corporate record-keeping. If these formalities are not kept, the stockholders risk losing their personal liability protection. While keeping corporate formalities is not difficult, it can be time-consuming. On the other hand, a sole proprietorship or partnership can commence and operate without any formal organizing or operating procedures - not even a handwritten agreement.

Self Employment Tax Savings. Earnings from a sole proprietorship are subject to self-employment taxes, which are currently a combined 15.3%. With a corporation, only salaries (and not profits) are subject to such taxes. This advantage is most significant for stockholder-employees who take a salary of less than $72,600.

Unemployment tax. A stockholder-employee of a corporation is required to pay unemployment insurance taxes on his or her salary, whereas a sole proprietor or partner is not. Currently, the federal unemployment tax is 6.2% of the first $7,000 of wages paid.

Pupil Premium

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is additional money allocated to schools by the government to support pupils from low-income families. The aim is to narrow the disadvantage gap by addressing inequalities and raising the academic achievement of this particular cohort of pupils.

The pupils who attract this funding are those children who have free school meals and or have done so in the last six years, are children of service families or are 'Looked after Children'.

Schools have autonomy to determine how best to use this funding. There is, however, an obligation for all schools to publish, annually, a report on how the pupil premium funding has been spent or is planned to be spent and what has been the impact on pupil premium pupils' academic performance.

At Riverside Primary School, our priority is to ensure all pupils, from all backgrounds, have an equal chance of success. Our Pupil Premium funding is used to target pupils with additional intervention and support according to their needs, in order to:

  • improve their levels of attainment and progress in Reading, Writing and Mathematics
  • close achievement and attainment gaps in relation to their peers (non pupil premium)
  • have full access to the curriculum
  • access extra-curricular provision

Senior Leader responsible for Pupil Premium: Lauren Porter (Deputy Headteacher)

         Financial Year

  Amount of Pupil Premium funding

2011-2012 £31,773
2012-2013 £40,800

Felix Mendelssohn

German composer and conductor Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809–47) was, with his sister Fanny, one of the greatest musical prodigies of his time. He later became a pre-eminent figure in German cultural life. His music has been frequently adapted for ballet, most popularly his incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1826).

Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg to a prominent Jewish family and was baptized into the Protestant faith in 1816. He studied piano, violin and music theory in Berlin, making his first public appearance in 1818. The premiere of his first Singspiel, Die Soldatenliebschaft, was given on his 12th birthday. Thereafter he developed rapidly as a composer across a remarkable breadth of genres, while also becoming an accomplished Classicist and painter. He made his first visit to Britain in 1829, where he was inspired to write pieces such as Die Hebriden (1830) and forged links that would lead to major commissions throughout his career, including the oratorio Elijah (1846) for the Birmingham Festival. In Germany he was briefly music director in Düsseldorf 1833–4 before becoming music director in Leipzig 1834–46. In 1841 he was granted positions in the Prussian court in Berlin, and split his time between Berlin and Leipzig while continuing to work prolifically in Paris and around Britain. Fanny’s death in May 1847 preceded his own death in November that year after a series of strokes.

Mendelssohn’s extraordinary musical facility is evident in all his music. His greatest works exhibit a unique synthesis between Classicism and the developments of Romanticism.

Reality vs Reality TV

In Trending Issues by K Joi2 Comments

In my days coming up, we didn’t have cable in the household. My mom was not in agreement on spending the extra $$$$ on it. I can’t say that I felt I missed too much. It seemed like back then without cable you missed seeing all the new videos, cartoon network, and other shows that I may not have understood anyway due to being a little naïve and sheltered back in the day. I never felt I was missing out though, we had shows like The Cosby’s, Dawson’s Creek, 90210, Saved By the Bell, Full House, Cheers, Martin, Family Matters. Now a days you hardly hear of people without cable and some form of reality television show that the entire family watches weekly.

Reality TV has become one of the newest biggest phenomenon’s. The shows based around peoples real lives have become a new norm for society. I am not sure if it has anything to do with people wanting to know how stars live or just see what other people go through in their everyday life. Looking over the TV line up there is: American Idol, The Voice, Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Bachelor, Big Brother, Survivor, The Vanderpumps, Biggest Loser, Love and Hip Hop, The Real World, just to name a few. Many of the reality shows out are of great value as they share so many positive things. They show people on the journey to their dreams, surviving unique conditions, finding love, and much more. So many of these shows don’t have a great angle shown, not saying life is normally all glitz and glam. However, some of it is just over the top. I find myself wondering if these people are really like this or if it is just for the ratings. I am not a huge reality television person but have watched it from time to time with people that I hang with. I have prior to writing this taken time to catch up on some to provide a clear opinion for myself.

I surely hope that most people are watching certain reality shows as a way to allow their brain to rest. We all have those shows that no one understands why we watch them nor requires our brain to work while watching.I have nothing personally against any of these people that were granted an opportunity to share their everyday ins and outs. After all, who would pass up an opportunity like this to share your view of the world and who you really are??

The largest issue I see behind so many of them is it seems that the nastier or more drama filled you are the more opportunity that seems to come your way. I find this shocking as it really goes against the wonderful golden rule of treating others as we want to be treated.

  1. Kandace you summed it up collectively, with painting a picture of how reality shows have effected our perception on life. T.V and social media is beginning to overpower our childrens mind. God has made me to be strong and equipped me for the wilderness and my son is breakong me down. Not blaming and justifying everything on tv, but our kids are lost and it makes the future blurry for this new generation. I could touch on alot of things, but the roots of our today issues is our children, and its a War! I rebuke and refuse to let it conquer me.

  2. This blog hits the nail on the head!! What we take in, affects what we put out. SO TRUE K JOI!! I believe everyone has a desire to connect to something. We connect with people everyday but have a tendency to not be our true selves. For me, I know I am one way at work, another way with my aces (girlfriends), another way when I am on a date, another way when amongst my family, etc. I feel people are connecting to these reality shows because it seems people have the ability to be free to be whoever they want to be and make $$$$ while doing so. Getting paid to be nasty!! Making lota of money to be catty and rude!! It seems some reality stars are not trying to gain respect, they are not trying to save face – they are trying to get paid like the rest of us. We do not have that freedom to be who we want, us common folk could miss out on opportunities or take the risk of being judged by others and without rhe benedit of making the 6 figures the reality stars make!! Not worth it, so most of us try to fit in. There are some of us who could care less about fitting in, who could care less about what others think of them, who will say and do what they want no matter what…..MORE POWER TO THEM.

    It is unfortunate as you said that, this is a platform (reality tv) that is touching so many people but is not always used in the most positive manner. I do watch shows like RHOA and see how the negative, nasty, rude people seem to be the ones who are gaining. That is ridiculous but “the people” are being given what they want. They are connecting or finding pieces of themselves in the so called reality of others. My opinion.

Another brilliant stay here, we have lost count of how many times we have stayed in this apartment and the one next door. Sue and her family are fantastic hosts and really look after you. The apartment has everything you need and is in a fantastic location. Our boys love it here and so do we. We can't wait to come back again! — Richard, Katie, Lucas & Ellis, 23 Feb 2019
This is our 3rd visit to Scarborough for New Year in this lovely apartment. The weather has been fantastic for this time of year. Sue always gives a warm welcome. Have already booked to come back in July - can not wait. We always enjoy being in this area and would recommend this apartment to anybody. — Jacqueline & Martin, 02 Feb 2019
Had a lovely break celebrating a milestone birthday for my Mother-In-Law. The apartment was perfect - nothing out of place, everything needed for a trouble free time was thought of. Scarborough provided a wonderful backdrop for our short break - thanks! — Sally, Gary, Joshua & Oliver, 29 Dec 2018
We have enjoyed a relaxing time here in Scarborough, a fabulous apartment with incredible view, great watching the sun rise! We have been to Scarbs many times before, but our first time at Royal Sands - what a find.... "a little gem". We will definitely be coming back here! Thank you — June, Lunda & Christine , 18 Sep 2018
This was our first visit to Scarborough as a family and Royal Sands provided the perfect base for our mini half-term break. We have stayed in quite a few holiday rentals and we thought the apartment went the extra mile to ensure a hassle free break - small details like beach towels, soap at every sink, free wi-fi toys, games, DVDs, tea towels and cleaning cloths for the kitchen... and SO clean! The attention to detail made all the difference. We had a lovely break, despite a stubborn sea fret and enjoyed all the town has to offer - Alpamare, the beach, the fun fair....and Pizza Express! And amazing fish and chips from North Bay Fisheries - thanks Mike! We will be back. — Amanda, Andrew, Violet (6) & Elsie (4), 29 May 2018
Another excellent and enjoyable stay. We have lost count of how many times we have stayed in this apartment or next door at 8. We love staying here and our boys would rather stay here than anywhere else. Sue and the rest of the team are welcoming, friendly and will do anything for you. Once again, they made one of our boys birthday special which we really appreciated. The apartment is very clean, has every amenity you could want and is in a great location. We would not stay anywhere else in Scarborough and we cant wait to come back again! — Richard, Katie, Lucas & Ellis, 16 Feb 2018
Another great New Year in Scarborough. Apartment views just breath taking (we will miss!!). Cannot wait to return. — Martin & Jacqueline, 03 Jan 2018

Had a great week again & enjoyed the cricket although sadly Yorks did not win this time. After the cricket visited the Castle, Rotunda museum & art gallery & had a good day at Filey. In addition to the still wonderful North Riding Brew Pub & Giannis, would recommend the North Bay cafe & the Harbour Cafe in the South Bay - I had a banana split! Thanks to Sue for keeping the apartment so clean and smart & for her welcome. Hope to visit again next year. — Sue & Frank, 09 Jul 2017
Thank you for this wonderful holiday apartment - beautifully furnished with everything we needed and such a perfect spot. We walked to most places we went to in Scarborough. We visited Whitby a couple of times, we can recommend the kippers - best anywhere! Thank you for the welcome and all the information when we arrived. We hope to be back. — Don & Eddy Macalister , 20 May 2017
Beautiful views, very well equipped and spotless apartment. We all loved North Bay Fisheries - best fish & chips any of us have ever eaten & that includes a Newfoundlander! — Ben, Glenys, Bruce & Pat, 23 Apr 2017
Thanks for a lovely break - the flat has been very comfortable and we have enjoyed the view. We have been lucky to get sunshine & mild weather and have enjoyed great walking. Walked to Filey & caught the bus back, walked from Cloughton to Hayburn Wyke and also from Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar on the "cinder track" and back on the coast (Cleveland Way). We enjoyed fish and chips from North Bay Fisheries, just down the road on Columbus Ravine, burgers and craft beer at the Cowshed and a great "posh meal" at Jeremys, which is a few doors from North Bay Fisheries and were delighted to find more excellent foody places so close by. We've had an excellent stay. Thank you. — Christine & Paul, 17 Feb 2017
We have had a lovely stay in your excellent flat. Would recommend to anyone. Have really enjoyed our New Year up here. Looking forward to the next! — Martin & Jacqueline, 03 Jan 2017
Another excellent stay here. The apartment has everything you need and is in a brilliant location. Sue is a fantastic host. It really is a home away from home. We are already booked in for our 4th visit and we can't wait! — Richard, Katie, Lucas & Ellis, 30 Oct 2016
Absolutely beautiful apartment. You have thought of everything. The little extras are what puts this apartment in a league of its own. If we return to Scarborough this would always be our first choice of accommodation. Thanks for the numerous directions too!! — Angela, Richard, Francesca & Joseph, 27 Aug 2016
Thank you Sue & Mike. We have loved staying here for the week. Enjoyed the sea view and the weather was kind to us. Peace of mind knowing the car was secure. Extras (tea, milk...) very much appreciated! Comfortable apartment. Easy access to the amenities. Recommend the café across the road for their roasts and breakfasts. Hope to stay again if we return to Scarborough. — Karen, David, Jessica & Thomas, 20 Aug 2016
We have had a lovely week in Scarborough. Enjoyed staying in this fantastic apartment, comfortable, clean and great views of the sea and castle. Location excellent.

A great stay in Scarborough - the apartment was exactly as we hoped - very well appointed and an excellent location. We hope to return again soon. — The Wood Family (Bradford), 16 Mar 2016
Another fantastic weeks stay. Had previously stayed in the other apartment (No 8) this apartment (No 7) is equally perfect. It has everything you could ever need and want, feels like a "home away from home". There were also lots of nice little extra touches. We would not stay anywhere else when we come to Scarborough. We would be happy in either apartment. We would also like to say a big thank you to Helen for making us feel so welcome and for making our little boys birthday extra special - he loved his presents. We look forward to staying with you again soon. — Richard, Katie, Lucas & Ellis (Hull), 19 Feb 2016
Thank you very much. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay again. Having previously stayed in No 7, No 8 is also a lovely apartment. A really warm and friendly welcome from Mike and the same from Sue with the booking arrangements. — Angela & David, 03 Jan 2016
We had a lovely stay in your homely apartment! On arrival we were greeted by Lynne who explained everything we needed to know. The apartment was super clean and we very much appreciated the festive Christmas lights! Thank you for all your efforts. We will stay here again for sure! — Kiel & Celeste (London), 28 Dec 2015
Once again, an amazing holiday! Thank you so much for your hospitality! See you soon.

— Neil, Helen, Isabelle & Ophelia, 21 Sep 2015
Another great holiday. We feel quite at home here. Thank you.

— Alice & Bill Gledhill (Barnsley), 19 Sep 2015
We really enjoyed our stay here, the apartment has everything you could need and is in a really good location. Sue the owner was very helpful from the initial booking until checkout. We would not stay anywhere else in Scarborough and would love to come back again.
— Richard, Katie, Lucas & Ellis (Humberside), 31 Aug 2015
After a warm welcome from Helen, we had a fantastic two weeks holiday. The tastefully furnished apartment is ideally located for access to the beach, restaurants and main attractions of the North Bay. As we have become accustomed to, when taking holidays on this coastline, we only had one day of rain in two weeks. We will be seeing you again! Thank you.

— The Browne family (Chesterfield), 29 Aug 2015
A lovely, well equipped apartment overlooking Scarborough's North Bay. Excellent local facilities, secure parking and the warmest of welcomes from Mike & Sue. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended! — David & Janet Morgan, 22 Aug 2015
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely apartment. A find – we will definitely stay here again. We were met by Helen as arranged who showed and told us everything we needed to know. The apartment has everything you would possibly need – tea, coffee, sugar, even toilet rolls! Central to everywhere so no car needed. Lovely apartment, fantastic location, thank you.

— Alison, Stephen, Alex & Jake, 08 Aug 2015
Had a lovely two weeks. The flat has just been perfect and only used the car twice. Love the view and sunrise. Thank you.

— Vicki, Charlotte, Sidney & Miller, 08 Aug 2015
Superb apartment, great weather. An easy walk to park, beach or town – what could be better! Looking forward to coming back in September.

— Alice & Bill Gledhill (Barnsley), 18 Jul 2015
Loved the apartment and view. Close enough to shops and plenty of walks. Peasholm Park a favourite. Hope we can return. Thank you so much! Fantastic firework display on the 26th at Peasholm Park, seen from bedroom window.

— Barrie and Diane, Rotherham, 27 Jun 2015
Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful location – everything you could possibly need inside & a fantastic view outside! We’ve spent time renewing our acquaintance with the delights Scarborough has to offer & watching the changing colours on the castle headland. Thanks for arranging a perfect weekend of weather! We will be back!

— Christine & John (Leicestershire) June & Phil (North Lincolnshire), 09 Jun 2015
An amazing apartment, a perfect family holiday escape. Fabulous views! We will be back soon! Thank you! — Neil, Helen, Isabelle & Bump, 22 Feb 2015
We did really enjoy our short break and loved your apartment. It has been furnished and equipped to a really high standard, pristine clean and fresh and very comfortable. It is ideally located for all amenities with lovely views of the sea and castle and the Wi-Fi was much appreciated. The private parking was a real bonus as Scarborough always seems to be a busy place. I did give all the questions a 5 star rating. — Jean Tilley, 29 Oct 2014
Had a lovely few days, very lucky with the weather, managed a boat ride on Peasholm Park in a dragon, splashing in the sea and a donkey ride. A walk up Olivers Mount and a visit with some friends. Great to come back to a bright, comfy clean apartment. The extra touches are much appreciated, milk in the fridge, tea, coffee etc All the things you need for a home from home. Thanks — Helen, Samuel, Diana & Keith, 27 Oct 2014
Thanks for a super weeks holiday with all the trimmings one needed. We will certainly come again. Many thanks. — Brian & Maureen Warrilow (Doncaster), 20 Oct 2014
Thank you for a first class apartment. The level of facilities is first class - a real home from home. It has really contributed to our wonderful holiday in Scarborough, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. — Brian, Cheryl & Emily Davis (Didcot, Oxfordshire), 23 Aug 2014
We have had a great week in Scarborough made even more special by the home comforts the Royal Sands provide. This has been by far the most comfortable, clean and well stocked apartment we have found down here and we would love to return in the future. Thank you for the attention to detail and warm welcome that really made all the difference to a family holiday. — David, Shona & Evan Morland (East Kilbride, Scotland), 09 Aug 2014
We had a very pleasant stay - lovely vista of the North Bay. Grace our 6 year old daughter didn't want to go home!!! Scarborough surprised us - lots to do. We enjoyed the beach at Filey, steam train trip from Pickering amongst things. We would recommend the apartment to friends and family! Thanks for making a happy holiday. — Roz, Neil & Grace (Cambridge), 02 Aug 2014
Thank you Sue! We had a wonderful time in your lovely apartment. Gorgeous sea view, comfortable beds and a short walk to the city. Due to your attentive care we felt like home and hope to come back some day! — Elly Vaupel, Uta Schott-Vaupell & Arika Rothkegel (Kirchhellan, Germany), 26 Jul 2014

安徽快三开奖走势图: Managing On-Premise and Off-Premise Mac Computers

Parallels? Mac Management for Microsoft? SCCM closes a sizeable gap in SCCM’s range of features: It enables admins to roll out and manage Mac? clients remotely. Starting with version 7, this also includes purely Internet-based client management. This means that admins can manage clients when they are connected via the public Internet, and not the internal network. Both remote and on-premise Mac computers can be safely administrated—without VPN or other encumbrances to worry about.

Broad range of deployment tools

Complementing a bare-bones SCCM setup, the Parallels Mac Management plugin adds a broad range of tools to the admin’s toolbox. There‘s no need for an initial local Mac rollout by hand anymore. Rather, admins have the choice to either set up Mac devices manually or roll them out using a USB flash drive or Apple? Device Enrollment Program (DEP). This means IT doesn‘t even need to have seen new Mac devices for their users to be fully integrated into the IT environment—and their systems to be managed by IT.

A fully integrated solution, Parallels Mac Management and Microsoft SCCM together enable admins to configure device management as needed. If your organization comprises multiple large locations, we recommend using the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy for each location. By collecting requests for branch offices directed at the management server, this module relieves it of secondary system management requests, reducing traffic to and from the main device management server at the main office.

Setup is simple if there is only one instance of SCCM and Parallels Mac Management and only one site to consider. In this diagram, SMS stands for SCCM System Manager Server, MP is the Management Point, and DP is the Deployment Point.

Read the Parallels Mac Management Deployment Guide to learn all about the various ways to implement the combination of Microsoft SCCM and Parallels Mac Management, and learn which architecture would be best for your specific case.

The Advantages of Differential Lockers

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon differential locker

One of the defining features of the Rubicon equipment package on the Wrangler is the differential locker that Jeep installs in each axle.  A locking differential is a variation on the standard automotive differential; it provides increased traction compared to a standard "open" differential by preventing wheel speed differentiation between two wheels on the same axle.  It essentially "locks" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft.  This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel individually.

An open differential will cease the transmission of torque to one wheel if the opposite wheel has little or no traction.  This may occur if one wheel comes into contact with mud, snow, or ice, or if the wheel is somehow removed from contact with the road after encountering an obstacle or area of soft ground.  In such a situation, an open differential will continue to spin the wheel with the least amount of traction but will transmit little or no power to the wheel that has more solid traction.  Basically, it will transmit only as much torque to both wheels as the wheel with the least amount of traction can sustain.  This can result in the vehicle failing to deliver enough torque to the drive wheels to keep the vehicle moving forward, at which point it will be stuck.

A locking differential solves this problem with its capability of delivering 100% of available torque to the wheel with the most traction.  However, a locking differential must be able to unlock for street use, however, because the tires need to be allowed to rotate at different speeds when it is required (such as when negotiating a turn).  Most automatic lockers (such as the Detroit Locker) work flawlessly off-road, but their operation on-road creates several handling quirks along with periodic clunking and banging.

Manual or selectable differential locks such as the ARB Air Locker provide the best of both worlds - smooth and quiet operation with predictable handling on-road, with complete lockup whenever the driver engages it off-road.  The downside to manual lockers is they are much more expensive and complex than automatic lockers.  Thankfully, Jeep didn't skimp when it came to the lockers they install into the Rubicon's front and rear axles.  The Rubicon's electrically-actuated differential lockers are without compromise on-road, while providing a huge increase in traction on the trail with the simple push of a button:

Here is a similar video demonstrating the traction difference that ARB's air pressure-actuated Air Lockers make:

Australia's 4WD Action Magazine produced the following video to demonstrate the capabilities of open differentials, electronic traction control-enhanced differentials, and fully locking differentials on three otherwise identical Toyota Land Cruiser Prados:

"Grand Canyon" - Sister Hazel * Rim 2 Rim 2 Rim Run *

Well, yesterday I sat and stared at the blinking cursor on my computer screen. Too many thoughts and ideas rushed in at once.

I want so badly to remember EVERY moment of this run, on this day, of my life.

AND . . . . I don't want to reduce this experience to "just another long run". However, I'm way to sarcastic to really write what I want to sometimes. But no matter what I write. . . . . . . . . the words will be inadequate.

Friday morning I headed to Cottonwood to meet up with my nephew and his wife. His wife's family were the ones who organized this run. They've gone for the past 4 years on this same weekend every year. They had tried to get me to go last year but for a whole bunch of reasons I didn't go.

Truth be told - I'm not a fan of "hiking". It feels like a slow death to me.

So this is why I knew I'd only ever do this Rim/Rim/Rim thing if I could run A LOT of it. The good news was.......half of the attending 10 people were planning to run most of it. So, I said, "sign me up!"

They stopped at Taco Bell. I'm not so much a Taco Bell fan as I am a Taco Sauce fan. Like I can eat 15 packets straight from the little pouches. [And I did win the TB sauce drinking contest in college [78 packets]...............heck ya, I'm wild & crazy. ;) ] The one I got Friday.......................I loved:

Then we hit the road. Windows down. Headed to the GC. Then I noticed Mrs. J.R. hadn't shaved in a while. ;)

Love her.

We got to Mather Campsite. Set up. Started unpacking.......hmmmmm, where's my bladder? If you ever ask this question.........make sure you are around a lot of runners.

Camelbak - check
Camelbak bladder - holy crap no. [and I didn't have the band that snaps around my waist either]

$39.00 later - I got my bladder inserted, filled & ready to roll. [no waist belt though - they don't sell those, uggg].

Dinner was a super yummy mac-n-cheese [homemade]. Cheese & I usually don't play nicely together though so I went pretty light on dinner.

Truth: I only knew the people I drove up with [which wouldn't be the people I'd most likely be around tomorrow]. The R2R2R-runners were in another car. Four guys. Two had just run ST. George in 3:00 & 3:06. I could feel my competitive nature slowly creeping in. ;)

But for now............I needed information. Trails, water stations, input, ideas, suggestions...............ANYTHING. As minutes ticked by I was beginning to realize and understand something I should have asked A LOT earlier............I was 99% sure I'd be running S-O-L-O. Like the whole time. Their plan was to go out at a steady clip from the start.

My plan? Not to die. Not to fall over the edge, especially in the dark. I have only run one time using a head lamp and that was for Ragnar last February. This would be my 3rd trail run - IN MY LIFE - first ever in the dark. So, I would not be doing 7 minute miles down to Indian Gardens. No, thank you.

We started down at 4:30am. As soon as I get the photo from them, I'll post it [and the North rim photo----as I'm told you have to have those photos as evidence.] HA!! as if my feet, shin, knee and walk isn't enough to "prove" it. ;)

And within 1 mile ------ I was running alone.

It was creepy. I did NOT like it. I tried to be aware of my surroundings but that usually ended up making me trip. At mile 1.5 I saw my first set of eyes from a bunch of bushes [deer?! I don't know, but I saw four sets of eyes from mile 1.5 - 4.5]

Right before mile four this happened.

I was so mad. I know it looks wimpy, but it was bleeding pretty good. More of the damage was done to a toe on my left foot.....completely lifted the nail bed off.

Anyway.......huge panic attack at [I think] mile 5. I didn't recall them saying anything about crossing streams. I freaked. I pulled my phone out --- just in case AT&T had decided to drop a new cell line in the GC----nada. Yes, I cried. Yes, it was lame. Yes, I almost waited for the people behind me to catch up [about 20 minutes]. I think it was the darkness more than anything. I took a deep breath said a NOT SO SILENT prayer and kept on running. As I was running, I realized I didn't fill my water as I was supposed to at Indian Gardens but in my panic mode state, I hadn't used but maybe 8 oz of my 70 oz I was carrying. So, I would be fine until I reached Phantom Ranch.

One mile from Phantom Ranch I saw my very first human beings. Two 50+ ish men. I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to see them. I thought I should have been to Phantom by now so it was nice to be able to ask how much further away it was. They told me, "less than one mile". Then asked if he could ask/tell me something...............

Man #1: you should not be out here alone.
Me: Ya, probably not. It's my first time.
Man #2: I don't care if it's your first or fifth, you should not be out here alone.
Me: ahhh, ok, noted
Man #1: and you are bleeding
Me: Ya think?! [Just kidding I was nice...I said]... yes, running in the dark is not my speciality.

So after I finished talking to Downer #1 & #2 ---- I was sooooooooooooo happy. The sun had risen, Phantom was WAY close and I could see without any stupid head gear.

Crossed the beautiful Silver Bridge [I'd like to note ---- running in Hoka's on THIS bridge is a FREAKING blast. I felt like each leg was a pogo stick - I caught myself smiling ear to ear]...... and into Phantom I went. I filled up my water, put my head lamp away & realized.................I had not yet eaten anything. So, I used the toilet [only because it actually flushed = awesome], washed my hands [with soap-awesome], grabbed some shot blocks, cleaned my wound a bit and took off.

This stretch of trail was one of my MOST favorites.

I was SO grateful to BE alone here, on this stretch of trail.

[Ahhhhh, I'm crying as I type this.]
I, now, realize why some of you are so drawn to the trail. This stretch was so spiritual to me. To be alone. Completely, 100%, alone. I could only hear the river rushing beside me. No voices, no music. Just my breathing, my feet crunching the rocky trail and the amazing sound of that water. I was completely taken back. There was no pain from my shin or toe or ego. ;) I just remember thinking there's 38 miles more to go - followed by an immediate feeling of pure JOY & happiness.

At mile 13 - I just started cracking up. No I was not delierious/delusional. My phone just started blowing up from my backpack.

bing. bing.
fat guy in a little coat
this is your ringtone it's on my iphone
train whistles
old phone

[these mentioned above are ringtone sounds associated with some of my BEST friends and family members].

It made me so happy. I didn't stop to look at the texts. I just ran while listening to the sound of all the thoughtful people who had taken the time to wish me well, hope I had cell service, telling me to rock it, that they were praying for me, to push hard and THAT....................."I've. FREAKING. GOT. This." I was beaming.

Until around mile 16 I had my second group of men tell me I should not be doing this alone and "where is your running partner?". ugggg. go away.

Mile 18 it started getting hot. High was only 91*. The weather really was perfect in EVERY WAY. Just when I'd get hot the trail would turn and I'd be in shade. It was incredible. I stayed in the exact outfit the whole time. At mile 20, I heard, "Emily?" Looked up to see one of the guys the Pita works with [different office/same company]. I stopped and chatted with him for a few minutes. Just so he could say all the things you'd expect..... "both ways?", "one day?", "seriously?", "you are nuts", "Harder or easier than your 24 hour treadmill run?" I answered all questions but that last one.

About two miles from the top I saw one of the guys from my "group" & a guy with an Ironman tattoo. In an effort to take my mind off things I started asking him all sorts of IM questions. His favorite IM? Which ones he had done? Then......"How does this compare to an IM?" To which he replied, "this is harder than I thought it would be but I'll let you know at the south rim". [never saw him after the north rim though booo!] This last part up to the North rim. It's. Not. Awesome. This is the only time I cussed. I looked at Mr. IM and said, "this last little bit is just BAT SH*T crazy!" And I apparently, said it too loud as many turned around laughing. Ya, ya, I'm here all wee.....errrrr day! It's a whole lot of climbing in a small distance. I kept my pace pretty steady but I was panting something fierce. Loved it. With about 1/4 to go I caught up to a few more in my group who's words were, "Emily? Is THAT you?" To which I replied, "Why the shock in your voice?" [then, I winked and I may have passed him].

I got to the North rim in 6:08. I was happy. WAY happy. I felt my pace was just right. I didn't feel knackered. I didn't rush. I truly felt I was enjoying myself. Stopping when I wanted/needed but for running alone - I felt I was pushing myself pretty good too.

The water wasn't "on" at the NR but there was a car there from our group with a few gallons of water.
[ohhhhhhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaa, want to see that super lame face upclose.....]

[what am I doing with my face?]

I grabbed my bagel, a new CLEAN pair of socks and started to get my backpack on. I knew I needed to keep on keeping on........I wasn't about to stop and eat a full meal there. So after about 10 minutes I left the north rim..........ALONE. IM boy wished me well.... as well as the others from my group.
[best sign ever.]

I was told to take the downhill conservatively from the North. GREAT advice. My quads were already on fire. As it turns out the 13 miles from the north rim to Phantom are almost entirely downhill [with a few good rollers]. It was beautiful but it was starting to get warm. I had saved my best "fuel" for Phantom. Bagel with peanut butter and Nutella. Seriously. Tasted. Like. Heaven.

I hit my special cell phone service area yet again - - where my phone did not disappoint. The bells, ringing & sounds came from my backpack again & it was just what I needed to get me through those toasty, sandy miles.

Chatted with a father/son running duo around mile 43, who also told me off for being/running alone. They were actually super nice. The father insisted I take a "BIG COLOSSAL PROTEIN BAR" from him because, "it has 400 calories and 30 something grams of protein....which even a Blondie like you needs". I informed him that my hair was totally light brown not blonde but that I'd take the freaking protein bar if he'd admit I was doing pretty ok out here on my own.

He agreed.
Andddddddddd my backpack now weighed like a pound extra. awesome.

When I saw the sign saying "3 miles to the south rim". I decided it was ok to pull my phone out and alert the troops. I should have taken a screen shot of my phone.

I am one VERY blessed woman.

52 texts.
6 phone calls.
3 voice mails.

one very grateful ME.

A few of the awesome texts from MY RD.

And some super hilarious texts from my Mom. She "gets" me for sure. She wanted to make sure I was "chicking" guys on the way out of the canyon. Loved. That.

husband and daughter................................ they came.

They drove 4.5 hours just to see "nuts" me.

[yes, peanut drew this with her finger on the iPad while she was waiting for me]

So that I wouldn't have to step out of that canyon to a bunch of strangers but rather the two very most important people in my freaking life.

I could hear them calling out " GO EM!" & "GO MOM GO!" I couldn't breath. Tears were already falling. Then....... I saw them.

Both of them with their hands in the air yelling. I started to run. Which was unbelievable because I didn't run ONE step of the prior 4 miles.

Now, walking the final steps:

now. THIS. this. moment. WAS. heavenly.
if not, ACTUALLY, h e a v e n.

This was an incredible day.

I WILL do this again. No doubt.
Because I know I can do this sub 12. ;)

Anddddddddddddddddddddddddddd more importantly..............

The Pita thinks I can do it sub 11.

He may be right. He may be crazy.

but....................... I freaking love that he is constantly pushing me - constantly supporting me and my goals. blessed for sure.

On the "must do" meter.

It's a 10. You have to do this. Way better than Man Against Horse and I LOVED that race. This is unlike anything else.

A few random facts:

7 - number of deer seen
1 - number that flew down the trail about 8" beside me.
1 - number of potty breaks - not good.
5 - number of times I refilled my Camelbak
2 - hours spent running in the dark
2 - number of shot block bars consumed
1 - number of gu's consumed
2 - number of PB bagels consumed [1 with nutella]
1 - snickers PB bar eaten
2 - number of Larabars eaten
3 - number of falls during above mentioned 2 hours
1 - number of lost toenails
4 - number of blisters
0 - minutes spent listening to my iPod - NEVER turned it on. Not once.
2 - times I knowingly talked to myself
3.5 - miles spent in company of others [like walking/running with others I knew or didn't know]
180 - number in fluid ounces I consumed within 1 hour of stopping
8 - number in minutes it took me to consume the burrito the Pita had for me in the car

What would I do without my Pita?
I often tell him . . . .

but since I can't today . . . . . .

Happy Anniversary To MY Pita.

14 freaking years.

"Fly By Night" - Rush

So last night was like the BEST night ever.

Why? Two reasons.

1.  Modern Family was on

t h e n

2. ANOTHER Modern Family was on.  And I sooooooooooo love this lady:

My favorite Phil-ism from last night......

"When life gives you lemonade make lemons....and LIFE will be ALL like.... Whaaaaaat?"

Now a few not so interesting random facts / thoughts. . . . . .

1.  I'm not a big TV watcher.

2.  I SUCK at sitting down.

3.  I 4% blame my super sweet LOOKING but super uncomfortable modern couch.

4.  I don't enjoy reading.  [book recommendations?  I wanted a book for our recent trip to Kauai . . . . I asked the employee restocking the books at Costco . . . . she handed me this:

[no judgement......but no thank you, that book..... just not for me.]

5.  I'd much rather fall off mountains than sit and relax.

6.  I'm a little concerned about falling down the Grand Canyon in 8 days. [pretty sure there won't be any guava trees to stop my sliding. And I know there won't be a Pita present to literally push my bum back onto the trail.]

6.5  Waimea Canyon - Hawaii's version of the Grand Canyon

.......still don't want to fall down that.

7.  I'd collect cups/glasses if I had more storage space.  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE cups. [this was for you Dawn]

8.  Pretty sure "anonymous" should not be allowed on blogspot.  He's/She's freaking mean.

9.  While I DOOOOOOOOOO 100% realize a treadmill PR does not equal a real PR

......I'm still happy.[If I'm doing the math's a 3:13-3:14 due to the incline]

10.  The Pita brings his middle finger with him everywhere.  Even to Kauai.

Turns out - he brings it where ever I'm holding/have access to a camera.

freaking. love. his. guts.

** So book recommendations?  Please? **

** Do you find it easy to relax/unwind? **

Arctic Zero Review

It is said, somethings are just too good to be true.

I'll be honest. That was my first thought when I saw these cute little pints of ice cream labeled "Arctic Zero" on the shelf in my local grocery store.

150 calories? I was thinking......sure.......per BITE! Nope. The whole dang PINT!

So I bought it. {Mint Chocolate}

Then, the best thing ever happened.

arrived at my door.

Christmas. In. September.

Immediately, Peanut had something to say:

Here is how the conversation went-

Me: I am going to eat this whole PINT of ice cream!
Peanut: You are so weird.
Me: Well, it's healthy it has protein!
Peanut: Can I have some?
Me: no freaking way.
Peanut: Yup, you totally win "selfless mom of the year". *Resumes TV show*

That's my girl.

It didn't take me long [about 7.44 minutes] before I got going on this one.....

I am a pumpkin girl.
This was amazing. By far my favorite of all of them.

So how do they do it?

The secret to its insanely low-calorie contents is monk fruit. Hmmm…never heard of it?
I hadn't either.
So I did what I always do.......Hello Google. Monk fruit is a natural sweetener from China and yes, I think I'll be buying stock it that, super soon.

I tried them all. [seriously, rough work] ;)

I got a little creative with a few . . . this was BLISS!

And this was a little piece of heaven:

I have used it on my Pumpkin Protein Cakes I make......incredible.

Then, just today I tried it [vanilla maple] in my smoothie.
best. idea. yet.

You can check out their Facebook page here.
Their Twitter feed here.

This amazing product can be found at:

or online at AMAZON. [here].

Sooooooooooooo you guessed it........ gets 5 out of 5 pickles from me.

My only wish?

* Have any of you tried this?
*what is YOUR favorite ice cream flavor?

"That's Not My Name" - The Ting Tings

Tangent Tuesday.

While it IS my name. [and on a side note.....I do love my name.]

I do not like it when the Pita calls me by my [REAL] name. When he says it, is sounds painful. Like it's hurting his mouth to say it.

em ILL lee.

I'm pretty sure proper names go by the wayside in romantic relationships.

I rarely, if ever, call the Pita by his given name.

It's always: [no laughing]

dude [when it's serious] ;)
butt chunk [time & place people -- time & place]
Kiwi Boy
and mostly by our last name. That's what his work people call him and it's stuck with me.

He showers me with similar names:

Woody girl [Woodway]
running freak

......all of the above make me smile and or laugh.

I can name on my hands the times he has called me "Emily" in almost 14 years. And it makes me squirm.

We had two offenses in TWO days?!!?

Pita: How far did you run?
Me: [mumble, mumble] thhhhrdy
Pita: um what? Did you say thirty?
Me: [silent]
Pita: em ILL lee. That's just dumb.

And the next one was pretty much just because he had forgotten how much I hate it when he calls me by name that........he found a way to do it again.

he's. just. awesome. like. that.

Who is this man calling me by my name?
Who is this person calling me by the name EVERYONE else does?

Guy who mans the Costco door knows me by name = awesome.
Mailman = works for me
A few employees at Trader Joe's = you bet cha

The Pita = no.

no, thank you.

Am I alone on this?

Does your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/significant other call you by your REAL name?

"Back In Time" - Pitbull

Let's go back in time a bit.

Since my blogging has been as less than awesome these days......lots to catch up on.

By. The. Numbers.

[running stuff]

* 374 - miles I ran in August.

* 370 - miles done on the treadmill

* 26.23 - distance of longest run this month.

* 38 - days until I get to do Rim - to - Rim - to - Rim.

* 46 - [ish] miles of above said run.

* 1 - mile I ran on old Ed - before I said my farewell to him.
[nothing says, "I'm taking this run seriously" like wearing jeans.]

[Pita/Peanut stuff]

* 100 - percent chance we will reenact this photo when we are there.

Pita better start hitting the gym more frequently. She's not 3 any more Pita.

* 24 - bottles of water she probably damaged in isle 11.

"Mom, I'm walking on water." nice, Peanut, nice.

* 690 - amount in dollars spent at "Ocean Club" for a group of four.

I'm going to go with "worth it". Mostly, because I didn't have to pay it. ;)

[life stuff]

* 98 - percent chance I'll be on Pinterest each night reading quotes like this one:

and this one:

L O V E.

[MY Parent's - stuff]

* 3 - number of days until my parent's 50th Anniversary.

* 1 - number of days after their wedding this photo was taken:

* 3 - buttons on my Mom's above jacket that I'd kill for!!

* 5 - minutes spent cracking up and what my Mom told me to buy her for her anniversary......

[.....ya, I'll get right on that GOLDEN Anniversary Apple Corer right away.] holy crap.

1. Do YOUR parents [AND OR family members] do this to you?

2. What have they said they wanted for a birthday/anniversary gift that made your eyes roll?
