Meet Katie Estill, Extraordinary Writer-Chick and Hammett Nominee
My husband, Pinckney, and I are such fans of Katie Estill's work that we knew our 2007 Surreal South anthology wouldn't be complete without one of her stories. She very kindly let us publish The Drinking Gourd, an historical haint which formed itself out of the house in which she lives. This year, Katie's heart-wrenching crime novel, Dahlia's Gone, caught the attention of the North American branch of the International Association of Crime Writers. They selected it as a finalist for 2008's Hammett Prize, which will be awarded at the Bloody Words Mystery Conference in June. I'm so pleased she's taken the time to answer a few getting-to-know-you questions here at The Handbasket because I think you should know her too!
LB: Dahlia's Gone could be described as a literary crime novel. Did you set out to specifically write a crime novel, or did the story evolve into one?
KE: I wrote Dahlia's Gone because I wanted to write that story, and it was about a murder, but the novel also came from the context of my life. At the time, I was head of a county task force, and our mission was to reduce violence against women, so I was interacting with all sorts of people I'd never known before. Law enforcement officers, for one. I came to empathize with their experience as human beings, who, for the most part, are basically doing social work, but the kind that's sometimes very dangerous. So these things were made real to me, not just as ideas. And also, in the small town atmosphere in which I live, if a young woman is murdered, it's quite possible that you've brushed shoulders with at least one of the parents, and so you are more affected by these incidents. I became emotionally engaged.
LB: Your first novel, Evening Would Find Me, is set in Greece and is different in tone from Dahlia's Gone, which is set in the Ozarks. But both books seem very rooted in their locations, their characters heavily influenced by their physical environment. Does that attachment to place translate into your own life? What does "home" mean to you?
KE:
I do have an attachment to my environment. We've got a funky old house that's just so riddled with personality and odd touches that we can't seem to leave, even if sometimes it seems inadequate. Daniel's office was built by a previous owner, the Reverend Mock, and he carved crosses atop all the bookcases in the office, a strange touch we enjoyed immediately. The basement was full of several hundred bottles of water, all of them dated, supplies set aside for Armageddon. We've heard that our house was built over a cave and was a station on the underground railway during the Civil War. A neighbor told me that as a child he used to play in the cave (before it was closed by the city) and he found arrowheads. So we know the Osage spent a lot of time on these grounds, around the springs and caves, and that human beings have used and loved this ground for a long, long time.
That feeling is somehow infused into the place. I look out our large, wavy glass windows to the most beautiful century oak. We've written five books in this little house, and that also makes us fond of it. Our cats don't ever want to leave. I think "home" is where you can overlook any number of little eyesores. We're still walking through a couple of doors that we've somehow never gotten around to putting doorknobs on.
LB: I was tickled to see that Amazon has Dahlia's Gone paired with Winter's Bone, written by your husband, Daniel Woodrell. Tell me about the trajectories of your writing careers and the ways you influence each other's writing.
KE: I'm wondering if this Amazon pairing has something to do with the Hammett nomination. I don't think many people knew we were married before. Daniel's been telling writer acquaintances that I'm up for the Hammett, and one of them said, "That's your wife? What are they putting in the water down there?"
Before I began publishing, I had seen close up some of the realities of publishing and the challenges. In fact, the business is in such a state of flux that by the time I started publishing, publishing had changed from the way it was when Daniel began. When he started, a writer would not dream of contacting newspaper editors and, so on, in hopes of generating reviews. My experience with Dahlia's Gone revealed that if I didn't do those things, there would be no coverage at all.
We are big influences on each other's writing. We have different processes when we write, but we talk about writing every day; we bounce ideas around and serve as each other's first editor. Daniel has a short story I really like a lot in the June Esquire, and when he first started the story, it was in the first person, and he felt something was off. So we talked, passed the ball back and forth, and I said, "Hey, why don't you change it to third person?" And boom. As is so often the case, that simple change in approach made all the difference. That's how we live.
LB: Would you talk a bit about your relationship with the late Raymond Smith, publisher (with wife Joyce Carol Oates) of Ontario Review Press, which published Evening Would Find Me? You must have worked closely with him on Evening Would Find Me.
KE: Raymond Smith was a great editor and man of letters, but what first comes to mind is what a kind and gentle man he was. I did work closely with Ray. He was my editor, and we discussed and made decisions about every aspect of bringing Evening Would Find Me into print–from manuscript revisions, to line by line copy editing, to finding a cover image and designing the cover–I mean everything down to the type set. We frequently spoke on the phone, and the impression he gave me was that he and Joyce Carol Oates would sit at the dinner table in the evening and discuss, among other things, the questions that he and I were talking about, and then he would give me her feedback.
Ray must have seen everything, when it came to literary types. When we met for lunch in Princeton, he saw the liter bottle I was toting and very calmly asked if it was vodka. I said, "No, Ray, it's water!" I thought, oh, god, am I acting impaired? But, you know, the real alcoholic writers don't act impaired; they just don't ever want to be in the position of running out. And good thing I had the water, because it was rush hour when I got back to New York, and I had to walk from Penn Station to the Soho Grand.
I often wondered what it was like sharing life with one of the most prolific and celebrated writers in America. Ray always kept his private life private. But once, when Joyce Carol Oates' novel about Marilyn was coming out, he said, "Yes, our lives are in a whirlwind right now, but I'm usually in the calm at the center of the storm."
He never gossiped. He never dropped names. Ray Smith was a true gentleman.
LB: Will you share a bit about what you're working on now?
KE: I don't want to break the mojo here. But I can say the idea came to me while I was finishing Dahlia's Gone. An inner voice started talking, and it was so strong, so imperative that I had to put aside my manuscript and furiously write it all down.
LB: Finally, if your life were written as a graphic novel, what would you call it?
KE: This one is tough, because, to be honest, I've never read a graphic novel. I couldn't even get through a whole comic book when I was a kid, and the two forms may not even be similar. But if I ever did attempt one, it would undoubtedly be "The History of the Third Nipple".

The Oxford Arms Inn
Ghosts can become not only the unsuspecting passers-by, who are forever captured on the glass plate of the camera in front of the old buildings. But also the buildings themselves, whole streets and neighborhoods, which no longer exist, but their former complex ground-plan is still haunting under the modern apartment blocks weighing down on them.

The same today (on full screen)
Such ghost is today every building, street and yard which we saw in the pictures of the previous post, but especially the Oxford Arms Inn, one of the most famous coaching inns of old London.

"There are in London several old inns, once the headquarters of celebrated coaches in the days when coaches performed their journeys in a graver and more solemn manner than they do in these times; but which have now degenerated into little more than the abiding and booking-places of country wagons. The reader would look in vain for any of these ancient hostelries, among the Golden Crosses and Bull and Mouths, which rear their stately fronts in the improved streets of London. If he would light upon any of these old places, he must direct his steps to the obscurer quarters of the town, and there in some secluded nooks he will find several, still standing with a kind of gloomy sturdiness, amidst the modern innovations which surround them."
Charles Dickens: The Pickwick papers (1836/37), chapter 10
The coaching inns flourished throughout Europe between 1600 and 1850, and were the most important nodes of the inland transport infrastructure, until the railway supplanted the whole coaching network. By the 18th century they followed one another quite densely – at a distance of about seven miles –, and they waited for the travelers by the dozens even in smaller cities. John Charles Maggs, the lover of stagecoaches painted eighty of them only in London, including the Tabard Inn in Southwark – broken down in 1873 –, where Chaucer's Canterbury Tales were recounted, and of course the Oxford Arms Inn as well.

A detailed description and an engraving – from the above view – is found in Rober Chamber's Book of Days, published in 1869:
"In the [Warwick] lane are two old galleried inns, which carry us back to the broad-wheeled travelling wagons of our forefathers. About midway, on the east side, is the Bell Inn […] The other galleried inn of Warwick-lane is the Oxford Arms, within a recess on the west side, and nearly adjoining to the residentiary houses of St Paul's in Amen-corner. It is one of the best specimens of the old London inns remaining in the metropolis. As you advance you observe a red brick pedimented facade of the time of Charles II, beneath which you enter the inn-yard, which has, on three of its sides, two stories of balustraded wooden galleries, with exterior staircases leading to the chambers on each floor: the fourth side being occupied by stabling, built against part of old London wall. The house was an inn with the sign of the Oxford Arms before the Great Fire, as appears by the following advertisement in the London Gazette for March, 1672-3, No. 762:
ʻThese are to give notice, that Edward Bartlett, Oxford carrier, hath removed his inn, in London, from the Swan, at Holborn-bridge, to the Oxford Arms, in Warwick-lane, where he did inn before the Fire: his coaches and wagons going forth on their usual days,—Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He hath also a hearse, with all things convenient, to carry a corpse to any part of England.'
The Oxford Arms was not part of the Earl of Warwick's property, but belonged to the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's, who hold it to this day. From the inn premises is a door opening into one of the back yards of the residentiary houses, and it is stated that, during the riots of 1780, this passage facilitated the escape of certain Roman Catholics, who then frequented the Oxford Arms, on their being attacked by the mob: for which reason, as is said, by a clause inserted in the Oxford Arms lease, that door is forbidden to be closed up. This inn appears to have been longer frequented by carriers, wagoners, and stage-coaches, than the Bell Inn, on the east side of the Lane; for in the list in Delaune's Present State of London, 1690, the Oxford Arms occurs frequently, but mention is not made of the Bell Inn.
ʻAt the Oxford Arms, in Warwick-lane,' lived John Roberts, the bookseller, from whose shop issued the majority of the squibs and libels on Pope."

Alfred Marks in his description accompanying the Bool brothers' photos from 1875 writes among other on the inn:
"In Strype's Stowe we read that the "Oxford Arms" was much frequented by persons attending the Market, i.e., Newgate Market, close by. Up to the time of its close, it still did a considerable carriers' business, carts daily leaving the Inn for Oxford and other places. An old servant of the Inn told the writer that, in the days before the railroads, he had frequently seen wagons drawn by nine horses leave the Inn, a portion of the goods being packed after the Inn yard had been cleared. It must have needed careful handling to get such a team and such a load safely round the corner of the narrow street. Mr Samuel Hill, who has kindly communicated much of the above, says the sumptuous furniture of the Inn was sold in 1868, since which time its many rooms were let out in tenements."
And in the 20 May 1876 edition of the journal Athaeneum the following brief description was published of it:
"Despite the confusion, the dirt, and the decay, he who stands in the yard of this ancient Inn may get an excellent idea of what it was like in the days of its prosperity, when not only travellers in coach or saddle rode in and out of the yard, but poor players and mountebanks set up their stage for the entertainment of spectators, who hung over the galleries or looked on from their rooms – a name by which the boxes of a theatre were first known."

The inn, however, became famous not only in its life, but even in its death. By the mid-1870s the urban planning also reached the district to the north of St. Paul's, the former Newgate Market and its neighborhood. The Oxford Arms Inn was also doomed to demolition. The lovers of old London flared up, and established the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, whose purpose was on the one hand the documentation of the neighborhoods sentenced to demolition, and on the other hand to stir up the general public and to set them against the unlimited city destruction.

The first series of six photos were taken precisely in the Oxford Arms Inn, and the illustrations drawn on the basis of them appeared in the same year in a number of magazines. The following pictures in The Graphic clearly attest of having been made after the above photos, but a new kind of ghosts appear in them, such figures which were not present in the original photos, and only the illustrator's fantasy populated the building with them, for the delight of the readers – shadows of shadows, as Plato would say.
But all this could not save the building any more. Despite the just beginning outcry, in 1876 it was demolished together with the surrounding houses. Nevertheless, the movement launched by the photographic society was not in vain, as it led to the foundation of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings by William Morris and some other influential representatives of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1877. The Society is still today active, publishing books, running courses and a telephone advice line, and through its membership covering all Britain it immediately enters in action when they experience unnecessary demolitions. One of its founding members, George Price Boyce (1826-1897) also painted a number of endangered buildings in London, including the Oxford Arms Inn, the cause of the establishment of the Society.
George Price Boyce: The Oxford Arms, Warvick Lane (Victoria and Alberts Museum)
I also remember of having been sitting in the courtyard of a very similar
caravanserai in Bucharest, which has been also reached by the
barbaric destruction since then; and in Isfahan, where,
fortunately, many of them have been left.
And the photographic society continued its activity for ten more years, further documenting the decaying buildings of old London. The one hundred and twenty large glass negatives lef by them are preserved today in the Bishopsgate Istitute in Spitalfields. In some of the following posts we will return to them.

An accompanying article by Peter Bissell was headlined "Bay Area Doctor Protests Soaring Malpractice Rates."
A half century ago, more than 95 percent of doctors were men and more than 95 percent of nurses were women. A couple of articles in the Synapse echoed this particularly stark gender gap with evidence of a particularly gendered idea of nursing.

Today, emergency medicine (EM) seems a solidly entrenched and respectable medical specialty. Compared to many specialties, however, it is a latecomer. The first emergency rooms were staffed in an ad hoc fashion by internal medicine and surgery residents. The first dedicated training program in EM was begun at the University of Cincinnati in 1970, and board certification in EM was first offered in 1979.

اندکی تأمل در زندگی فردی و فعالیت‌های سازمانی نشان می‌دهد که تصمیم‌گیری جزئی جدایی‌ناپذیر و عنصر حیاتی آن است. صاحب‌نظران تصمیم‌گیری، برای تبیین چیستی، چرایی و چگونگی این پدیده مهم در سطح فردی و سازمانی تلاش‌های زیادی کرده‌اند. حاصل این تلاش‌ها، رویکردهای توصیفی و تجویزی است که تصمیم‌گیری را از دو دیدگاه متفاوت تبیین می‌کنند؛ یکی از نظریه‌هایی که در اواسط دهه 1980م. در قالب رویکرد توصیفی، شِمایی و مبتنی بر اصول طبیعی، سایر الگوها و نظریه‌های رویکرد تجویزی را به چالش کشید، «نظریه تصویر» بود. نظریه تصویر تلاشی در جهت تبیین چگونگی تصمیم‌گیری واقعی افراد است. نظریه تصویر، تصمیم‌گیرنده را دارای تصویرهایی از خود، وضعیت گذشته، حال و آینده‌اش می‌داند. نحوه شکل‌گیری این تصاویر و چگونگی تغییرات آن‌ها و نیز روابط متقابل و درونی میان این تصاویر، پایه‌های اصلی تصمیم‌گیری را در سطح فردی و سازمانی شکل می‌دهند. نظریه تصویر، تصمیم‌گیری را حاصلِ چگونگی ساخت، ترکیب، انسجام و هماهنگی میان «تصویر از خود»، «تصویر فرافکن»، «تصویر طرح‌ریزی‌شده» و «تصویر اقدام» می‌داند.
A brief look at both individual and organizational activities shows that decision-making is an inseparable part of each. Experts have attempted to explain the quality and cause of this important phenomenon. The result is the descriptive and prescriptive approaches that have looked upon decision-making from two different standpoints.
One theory which in mid - eighties and by adopting a descriptive approach defied other prescriptive models and views was the image theory. This is an attempt to explain the manner of real decision-making by individuals. According to this, the decision-maker has images of himself, his past, present and future. The way these images develop, their transformation and their interrelationships form the main bases of decision-making at both individual and organizational levels. The image theory takes decision-making as the result of how the structure, combination, coordination and cohesion of "self-image", projectiveness, planned image, and "executing image" are formed.

A busy few months at the Club with the many board events well underway, completion of pennant for 2017, tournament and ladies' championships.
All pennant team members are to be congratulated and thanked for giving their time to represent the Club. It is a big commitment. Congratulations to the ladies' division 1 pennant on taking out the flag again for a second successive year.
Congratulations also to the ladies' grade champions for 2017 – Dot Christie, Jan Trease and Belinda Angwin. First round of the men's championships will be held on 28th October.
Work continues around the course with volunteers consistently working to maintain and improve the playing conditions for all members. Thank you to all concerned.
A big thank you also to Roy Beaumont who has donated his time and plant to aerate and thus improve drainage on selected fairways. Captains will advise on drop areas which may be required.
Chris Verboon continues to provide the Club with professional advice and service.
Apart from the weekly mowing of the greens, Chris has overseen the redevelopment of the 14th green and 8th green. All tees are to be renovated in the next few weeks.
Members will also be aware that the course has been sprayed for cape weed over the past weeks and a thank you to Bill Pratt for organising this work.
I called a meeting of interested members to give input into ideas for the use of the Ken Bartlett bequest. The ideas are currently being costed and evaluated by the general committee.
I have organised a day to thank our sponsors for their generosity throughout the year. A day of golf and barbeque is being held on Sunday 28th May, and I urge those members who can, to come out and play a game with them to say thank you. Please give me a call if you are interested in playing on the day.
Hartley Wells Beta Electrical, Leongatha, has also agreed to sponsor a golf event to be held in early December. Check out the advance notice in the Clubhouse.
The footings for the new light towers will be installed Sunday week with the poles to be erected shortly afterwards. This will make our carpark area safer and more accessible at night.
We are also awaiting quotes for improvements to the front of the Club and new signage. New informational boards for tees are currently being made by the Meeniyan Men's Shed.
John Hattam will also be installing new railing to the front blue stone steps and right hand side of the front veranda to enable safer access for all, including wheel chairs.
The long-awaited defibrillator is now installed in the Clubhouse. Our emergency management plan has been updated with the Captain of the day being in charge in the event of any emergency.
In my second year now as President of your club, I wish to advise members that I will not be standing for re-election at the AGM this year. Members should start to consider who they want to take over the mantle for 2018.

Q: How to get value from string sequence column in Oracle? I have a column which contains a pair key-value:
key1=111111|key2=222222|key3=333333|key4=444444
value is id of the column in different table.
How can I get value '222222' if key2 exists and then use it to join with another table?
Could you provide rexeg for me? Thanks in advance.

A: If this was instead in "proper form" (if instead of one value in one column you would have four rows in two columns - a table with a column for key and another for value) then it would be easy, right? And - if your column is paired to another column, an id of some sort, then the same column should be in the "proper form" table?
I don't ever understand how people end up having to use something like "your" existing column. But if you have no power over it, it makes the most sense to write a view (perhaps a materialized one for better performance), and use it instead of your current table. Something like:
create table t1 ( id number, key_val varchar2(4000) );
insert into t1
  select 101, 'key1=111111|key2=222222|key3=333333|key4=444444' from dual union all
  select 102, 'key1=800001|key5=800002|key6=900030|key9=339900' from dual;
commit;

create view t1_view ( id, key, val ) as (
  select id, regexp_substr(key_val, '(\||^)(.*?)=', 1, level, null, 2),
             regexp_substr(key_val, '=(.*?)(\||$)', 1, level, null, 1)
  from   t1
  connect by level <= length(key_val) - length(translate(key_val, 'z=', 'z'))
         and prior id = id
         and prior sys_guid() is not null
);

select * from t1_view;

  ID KEY   VAL
---- ----- -------
 101 key1  111111
 101 key2  222222
 101 key3  333333
 101 key4  444444
 102 key1  800001
 102 key5  800002
 102 key6  900030
 102 key9  339900

8 rows selected.

Here val is still a string. If it is supposed to be a number, it is best to wrap the last regexp_substr within to_number().
And now write all your joins to use this view instead of t1.

This year for our annual family vacation we flew to Cleveland, Ohio to visit Adam's side of the family. He was born and raised there until his parents moved to Florida when he was eleven. His maternal grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins all still live there. We stayed with his Aunt Sue and Uncle Jerry and had a lovely time. I will post a few installments of the trip over the next couple days along with other posts as well. Lots to catch up on!
This trip held a lot of firsts for me. I saw my first ground hog, apple tree and chipmunk. These robins were in a nest in their apple tree in the front yard. Adam took the picture because of my lack of elevation.
You guys all know how much of a geek I am by now. So you know I needed to document my first apples.
Pretty much everyday we were there we got to hang out with family. Sue and Jerry have an amazing home for entertainment. This is their deck. Always full of people laughing and chatting. The girls were rarely there because around back were chickens.
The girls would be out there, in the coop, with about half a dozen clucking chickens in their laps at any given moment. They cried so hard when we had to leave the chickens.
Z's Bean and Cream caramel creme brulee ice cream after dinner.
Westside Market held top billing on the trip. We were going to go there and spend money on food come hell or high water.
We all picked out a few things to eat and take back to the house to snack on. Scarlette got this huge cream puff she is pointing at and some pepperoni, Savanna chose a few macarons, Adam picked Italian dry sausage and beef jerky, I chose bacon jerky, macarons and spicy beef jerky.
After much food gazing we all earned a case of the munchies and decided to walk down the street to Town Hall for lunch.
I had injured my leg before we left for the trip and it wasn't healing well. I decided this anti-inflammatory juice drink couldn't hurt. It tasted amazing.
So did my Korean BBQ Bacon flatbread with cubanelles and pickled onions.
I bought Scarlette a book about a rat and roach who start a rock band.
The Christmas Story is probably either a movie you love or hate. For me it is love. Like many, I grew up watching it on TBS every Christmas over and over.
We declined the tour due to time constraints and budgeting but it was cool just to see it in real life. There is a museum and gift shop across the street as well.
Do you like The Christmas Story? Do you have anything like the Westside Market near you? I went to one in Charleston but it really wasn't like Cleveland's. If I could grocery shop there once a month I would be in hog heaven.
Oh! My macarons! I chose rose, lavender, pink champagne, blackberry, chocolate maple bourbon, and salted caramel. They were incredible.
This looks like a wonderful trip! I love all the stunning photos and foodie descriptions especially. I recently took a trip to the coast and bought a bottle of blackberry wine, dark chocolate caramel marsmallows, and had a dinner of sand dabs and green beans almondine. It's so fun trying new foods on vacation!
PS: I couldn't stop thinking about those HoG Refreshers you reviewed, so when I saw some listed really inexpensively in a destash along with some perfume vials and a scrub. I snapped them all up! I'll let you know my thoughts on them when they arrive; so excited to try them. Scents were Chillax and Sea Spa.
Thank you Amanda! I am right there with you, the food is IT! Love trying new foods! Your dark chocolate caramel marshmallows sound freaking incredible. Your dinner too.
These pictures are so lovely!! Nothing like spending some good quality time with family, sounds like they have an awesome place! Valley City is such a neat rural area. Westside Market is pure love, how was it on a Friday? 99.999% of my visits are on Saturdays, with my one lone Sunday visit a few weeks back. I'm glad you guys found lots of goodies there!! Those macarons are <3. Townhall is just the best, one of the few places I could dine out when I was strictly paleo. That flatbread looks like something dreams are made of. Yay! I hope you guys had a good trip! Despite CLE not being a typical vacation destination, we do have a lot of things to see and do here! And I hope you guys didn't run into too much RNC chaos!
Thank you Jacqui! It was very nice to see everyone and hang out. It was the girls' first time meeting some of Adam's family. You know, Friday we went around 10am and it was pretty mellow. A few people milling about but not enough to bump into people or have to wait in lines. I know I kept mulling over when to go to Westside. I think Friday ended up being for the best. Townhall was very very good. Good enough that when we go back we would eat there again and I rarely eat at the same place twice when traveling. We went to Tavi's too but Adam and I were not all that impressed. Cleveland had a TON of things to do and we didn't even scratch the surface.
No RNC chaos at all and we skirted around downtown quite a bit. I did with you then when we went to Westside then when we went to the Metroparks. There were tons of cops walking around Westside but everything was peaceful and not crowded and hardly any traffic. If it wasn't for the news I would have never known it was there.
That carcass is disturbing but I love the cream swans!! King Ludwig II (my current obsession) loved swans and is sometimes called The Swan King.
And how cool that you saw the Christmas Story house!!!!
Lol! We were all trying to guess what it was, turned out to be a goat. Ooooo swans huh? That is our town mascot. The Queen of England gifted our city two swans ages ago and now they are abundant at one particular lake. We do a swan round up each year where to get catches them and gives then s check up. Kinda neat.
I loved it! Made me want to watch it. I might have to before I go back to work.
Oh sorry! I must have missed this comment somewhere! Yes, I do love visiting local bookstores if I can. I would have bought a book in there but we were with other people and none of them wanted to go in. And I need to browsing time.
Love this! I only live about 45 min away and haven't been to Westside Market. Leave it to a Floridian to inspire.
The whole family went to the Christmas Story House last year, it was neat to see it! Loved seeing your highlights.
I think where we were staying (Valley City/Strongsville) was only about 45 minutes or so away too. I do hope you get to visit Westside Market one day. It was easily one of my favorite places I went, neck and neck with Indigo Perfumery. I hear Saturdays are pretty packed so maybe try a Friday or Sunday if you want to avoid crowds. Friday was good for us. I think if I had a market like that near me I would want to go once a month if I could. SO much great food.
How fun!!! Yes, I bet that was a nice family trip. I think it would be fun to see it in winter while it is snowing too. But snow is a novelty to me and probably not so much you. But it would totally set the mood for seeing the house.
It was definitely a nice trip overall. And I am sure we will be back again to see my husband's family. But not next year. He is already missing the mountains. So back to NC we go I am sure. Where do you like to vacation?


TIP! Sunscreen is important for the health of your skin. When selecting which sunscreen to use, make sure you pay attention to the products which contain healthy antioxidants and other ingredients.
If you need some great tips to be more beautiful, keep reading. Read on for advice, information and more to help you look your best when you step outside your door.
TIP! No matter what type of skin you have, you need to wash twice daily with a mild cleanser. It's vital to remove all traces of makeup from your face before you start using a cleanser.
Condition your eyebrows with Vaseline every night. This can improve the look of your eyebrows by making the hair look glossier. However, be careful with the Vaseline, as getting it elsewhere on your skin can lead to acne and clogged pores.
TIP! Beauty can be considered relative. You can look for beauty everywhere.
Use moisturizer on your facial skin. You may think you do not need this if you have greasy or oily skin, but it can still be helpful to keep your skin looking nice. Use a lotion that has sun protection in it.
TIP! Want pouty, sensual lips? Put a little dab of white eyeshadow right below the divot between your nose and upper lip. When you highlight this part of your lip, you let it catch and reflect light in a way that leaves others with the impression that the upper lip is larger and more full than it may be.
TIP! If your eyes are blue or gray, bring these colors out with eye shadows colored gold, copper or apricot. Shades of dark brown and little bits of maroon or purple eyeliner and mascara are useful, so use them as well.
A little known way to make your hair look healthy and shiny is with common household baking soda. This simple and inexpensive ingredient can be mixed into your everyday shampoo. Wash your hair as you normally would. This will bring back the shine to your hair.
Use a skin moisturizer or highlighter with warm undertones to refresh and add color to dull skin. A cosmetic sponge will help apply the moisturizer to your face evenly. Keep this effect simple for the best results.
TIP! Before blow drying, spray your damp hair with a "hot spray". You can find this type of product in the beauty section of Target or Walmart or even at Sally Beauty Supply.
If you have a full face, consider changing your hair style and color to create a more narrow and slender appearance. Try a long cut with sleek lines that falls between your shoulders and your jaw. Adding lowlights or highlights can help to frame your face. Parts of your face will be accented and look very appealing.
TIP! If you make use of shimmer, be sure to use a light touch in just a few spots. This will give your skin a nice glow.
Always wash off all of your makeup before going to bed. Do this with warm water and a gentle washcloth, or use a makeup remover. Then, you can begin your cleansing routine. Leaving on make-up can clog your pores and cause acne.
TIP! You should set aside some space in your fridge for beauty products. By placing them in the refrigerator, you will lengthen their shelf life.
Use a soft brush to massage your skin before your shower to stimulate the oil glands and make it more healthy and moisturized. Brush circularly, starting at the feet and ending with your face; then, take a warm shower and use a gentle cleanser.
You can draw attention away from imperfections with a rose or pink toned lipstick. You shouldn't place the lipstick directly on the flaw, but instead use it to draw attention to your lips. With a combination of concealer and great looking lips, your blemishes will be hardly noticeable.
TIP! A rich moisturizer for your eye area should be used nightly to prevent dryness. Wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes can be prevented by keeping the skin healthy and moisturized.
For fat lashes, choose your mascara wisely. If you wish to have longer, fuller looking lashes you'll need to invest in a waterproof mascara. Companies try to entice you with products that have special formulas designed to make your lashes curl the right way and have the right volume. Try to avoid heavy or oil formulas. They will weigh down your lashes. Instead, try a waterproof, lengthening formula. This tip can give your lashes a full and curled look.
TIP! Petroleum jelly is the best way to keep the skin on your feet soft and supple. While there are countless of products out there, none are more trusted than petroleum jelly.
Consuming curry leaf is believed to be a remedy for grey hair. The curry leaf chutney aids in pigment formation of cells that gives your hair color. You really just need to eat one teaspoon.
TIP! Make sure to wear sunscreen to prolong your skin's youthful appearance. Sunscreen should be worn in the winter as frequently as you would in the summer.
You can always look good, regardless of your age if you've got good information. Use the tips you have learned here to help stave off the effects of aging and skin damage. Let your inner beauty shine out!

Is Barron Trump At The Inauguration? Donald Trump's Youngest Will Likely Make A Rare Appearance
By Margaret Judson
On Jan. 20, Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated and officially become president of the United States. We can certainly expect some key members of his family — like his two eldest sons, Eric and Donald Jr., and his oldest daughter, Ivanka — to be by his side to support him on the important day. After all, those three Trump kids, in particular, played major campaign roles. But his youngest child, who's just 10-years-old, has played far less prominent of a role, which begs one question: will Barron Trump be at the inauguration? Update: Barron Trump was at the inauguration to see his father be sworn in as President.
Shortly after Trump was elected, there was chatter that the president-elect would forgo living in the White House. Gears have shifted since then, though, and Trump is expected to take up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue after he is sworn into office.
On the other hand, his wife Melania Trump and son Barron, will not be joining the future president in the White Hous. Instead, they are expected to stay in New York for the time-being. As reported by the New York Post, a source close to the Trump transition team explained: "Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign ... the campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is really hoping to keep disruption to a minimum."
Drew Angerer/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Under normal circumstances, it sounds like a reasonable decision to want to avoid a major change for a student in the middle of the school year — but these aren't normal circumstances. Other children who are part of the first family have made the mid-year move to the White House, including most recently Sasha and Malia Obama. When Sasha was 7 and Malia was 10, the two girls left their school in Chicago in the middle of the year to go to Washington D.C.'s prestigious Sidwell Friends School, which is also where Chelsea Clinton attended while her father was president.
Another concern about Melania and Barron's decision to stay in New York City is the potential cost to tax payers — especially since security has been tighter around Trump Tower after a bomb scare and having put the building on lockdown.
And New York Mayor's press Secretary, Eric Phillips, who clapped back:
Still, although Melania and Barron Trump are not joining the soon-to-be-president in Washington D.C. in the near future, the youngest Trump child will almost certainly be at the inauguration ceremony. Barron made appearances at the Republican National Convention and his father's victory speech the night of the election. Jan. 20 will likely be a full family affair.

http://mortgagemovies.blogspot.com/2015/08/kingcast-and-mortgage-movies-say-quincy.html Why can't James Berlo pull a Build Permit? He owns his property outright so he does not need FEMA/Flood insurance but Maragaret Laforest told him he does.....While telling the rest of Quincy something else. I have more than a working knowledge of zoning laws and corruption in Boston, Revere and Quincy MA. I've been a zoning manager who obtained zoning for wireless carriers in several areas of the country including the Greater Boston Area. In zoning we are always aware of SHPO, THPO and NEPA and FEMA issues. I've pulled countless building permits over the years. Now In Boston I also documented false evidence like this magic bullet that allegedly landed there in the Dan Talbot police shooting and I obtained counsel for Joanna Marinova to obtain a $.6M Jury verdict and $900K settlement against the Boston Herald for Defamation. That all started after she was on my radio show five years ago. And in Revere I exposed the fact that they put up a new housing complex on contaminated land that was not properly vetted so that the taxpayers never knew about the contamination before it was approved. So we now come to Quincy, where I definitely see the potential for a lawsuit with substantial damages being awarded to homeowner James Berlo. I started by reporting on the first Quincy Road rage case that was on my radio show five years ago too, where the general press ignored the fact that there was cocaine in the car with Firefighter Joseph Fasano....which was not charged because it was "recreational cocaine." Today in Quincy, Ward one City Councilor Margaret Laforest and her apparently best friend Inspection Services Director Jay Duca both told James Berlo on Quincy letterhead that he needs to obtain flood insurance before he can build on his historic home that he purchased in July 2012. Therefore this remains the critical component that has kept him from obtaining a Build Permit, and he has successfully built out a gutted home located at 2 Monument court in the City of Boston. The problem is, her April 2014 letter to the general public says otherwise. It clearly states that you don't need any such insurance as long as you don't have a mortgage. Well, Mr. Berlo owns his home free and clear so what's the hangup? Here's the relevant case law I pulled from LEXIS and it clearly shows that no insurance is needed in this case. I believe the hangup is that he owns a very unique property that they would love to force him out of so they could help their cronies obtain it. I have it on information and belief that at least one of his neighbors went through this and successfully sued. Meanwhile Mr. Berlo continues to get bogus threats on National Grid letter head when National Grid told him they would never issue such a letter. He claims there is no lawful reason for him to move his meter outside and this is just yet another hassle. Who's behind that? Mr. Berldo informs that it was Gary Stone the Supervisor at the Gas Co. that told him "You will be in Violation of the Department of Public Utilities" He telephoned the DPU and they said that's absolutely not true and they don't have that kind of Power. Then again I have heard that Paul E. McCarthy the Town of Canton's only Inspector has been on the City of Quincy Payroll for over a dozen years making $90,000 a year working two hours a week as a City of Quincy Inspector Time will tell on all of this but something also tells me that once this issue hits the public airwaves and Mr. Berlo obtains counsel, this conduct will cease immediately. The only remaining question will be how to quantify his damages for living with 3 years of this abuse. If any of them have a problem with this or think they want to have a go at me for Defamation just shoot me an email and I'll waive service so we can get right to it. But they won't do that because I'll get discovery on them and that will be even worse than the videos that I'm queuing up. So that's it for now, but I'll be back. The other question of course, is whether Councilor Laforest will be back in the fall because if she is, I'll be paying her a visit with KingCast Mortgage Movies cameras. Ciao.
At least two people were killed and more than half a million homes and businesses are without power after Hurricane Michael slammed into the Florida Panhandle. FEMA deputy administrator Daniel Kaniewski joins CBSN to discuss the agency's response to the deadly storm.
FEMA is offering support to individuals and businesses in counties designated in the Florida federal disaster declaration for Hurricane Michael. Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov or call 800-621-3362 (voice/711/VRS) or 800-462-7585 (TTY) anytime from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time seven days a week until further notice. Multilingual operators are available. Homeowners, renters and businesses should register for disaster assistance before visiting a recovery center. Locally, a recovery center is open at the LeRoy Collins Main Library, 200 W. Park Ave.
Floridas Director of Emergency Management, Bryan Koon, spent Wednesday afternoon touring flooding in Manatee County. He surveyed the damage and spoke to residents in the Centre Lake neighborhood.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, initially created by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented by two Executive Orders on April 1, 1979. The agency's primary purpose is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. FEMA also provides these services for territories of the United States, such as Puerto Rico. The only exception to the state's gubernatorial declaration requirement occurs when an emergency and/or disaster takes place on federal property or to a federal asset, for example; the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or the Space Shuttle Columbia in the 2003 return-flight disaster.

FEMA most often means the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States.
The name Michael is one of the original names assigned by the World Meteorological Organization to its set of six rotating sets of names for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean which were first used in 1979. It has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. Both storms named Michael have reached hurricane intensity. The first occurrence of "Michael" as a name was in 2000, after the active period of tropical activity in the Atlantic started. Due to an inactive year in 2006, "Michael" was not used.
Hurricane Michael (2000) - category 2 hurricane that caused moderate damage in Canada.
Hurricane Michael (2012) - category 3 hurricane that did not affect land.
The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season was extremely active, tied with 1887, 1995, 2010, and 2011 for having the third-most named storms on record. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates that conventionally delimit the period during each year in which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean. However, Alberto, the first system of the year, developed on May 19 – the earliest date of formation since Tropical Storm Ana in 2003. A second tropical cyclone, Beryl, developed later that month. This was the first occurrence of two pre-season named storms in the Atlantic basin since 1951. It moved ashore in North Florida on May 29 with winds of 65 mph (100 km/h), making it the strongest pre-season storm to make landfall in the Atlantic basin. Tropical Storm Debby in June became the earliest fourth named storm, surpassing the record of July 5 set by Hurricane Dennis of 2005. Another record was set by Hurricane Nadine later in the season; the system became the fourth-longest-lived tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic, with a total duration of 22.25 days. The final storm to form, Tony, dissipated on October 25 – however, Hurricane Sandy, which formed before Tony, became extratropical on October 29.
Disaster management (or emergency management) is the creation of plans through which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the threats; instead, it focuses on creating plans to decrease the effect of disasters. Failure to create a plan could lead to damage to assets, human mortality, and lost revenue. Currently in the United States 60 percent of businesses do not have emergency management plans. Events covered by disaster management include acts of terrorism, industrial sabotage, fire, natural disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), public disorder, industrial accidents, and communication failures.
