The latest additions to the spring/summer series demand discovery. The clean office has an almost leathery, pleasing surface, consisting of oak that is charred to black, then waxed and hand-polished until fine grains of oak just barely reappear.
The backside surprises: almost invisible, awry metal-plated layers are welded to form a bellied body with a subtile descend into tender hammered legs. The coppered surface has a colorful, alternating patina with contrasting edges and corners, where the different sheets of metal adjoin. Only a tiny drawer interjects into the fine line where wood and metal meet.
This reverse side almost seems to resemble the frozen thoughts once contemplated at such desk.

China-Taiwan direct flights begin
Thursday, July 03, 2008
TAIPEI, Taiwan Hundreds of mainland Chinese tourists _ some in matching pink shirts _ arrived in Taiwan on Friday on the first regular commercial flights in nearly six decades, a historic move aimed at further easing tensions between the old foes.
A China Southern Airlines flight carrying 230 passengers touched down at Taoyuan International Airport in northern Taiwan, and fire trucks shot water at the first plane in a welcome gesture.
"From today onward, regular commercial flights will replace the rumbling warplanes over the skies of the Taiwan Strait, and relations between the two sides will become better and better," Chinese pilot Liu Shaoyun said after a 90-minute flight from Guangzhou in southern China.
The Chinese passengers walked through an arch made of colorful balloons amid traditional dragon dances and greetings from giddy Taiwanese officials.
Although Taiwan has allowed limited charter flights for holidays in recent years, the regular weekend service is a major step forward in normalizing travel between the rivals. Taiwan had barred direct travel to and from China for decades as a security measure, and most mainland tourists were also banned.
A Xiamen Airlines flight later touched down at Sungshan airport in downtown Taipei, which opened to international traffic for the first time in three decades. The 100 passengers wore matching pink shirts.
"We call Taiwan the beautiful island and I have high hopes of this trip," said Hung Nan, a 26-year-old cameraman traveling with the tourists.
Lin Jinxian, a 58-year-old engineer, said he hoped the regular flights could bring the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou closer to Taiwan and help "mutual economic developments."
Taiwan's China Airlines also flew more than 300 Taiwanese on a charter flight to Shanghai earlier in the day.
The historic step _ the result of diplomatic efforts by new Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou _ is aimed at warming relations between the self-ruled island of 23 million people and its powerful neighbor, which claims Taiwan as its territory.
An initial 36 weekend flights will connect major cities on mainland China with Taiwan's airports, in the first direct service since the two sides split amid civil war in 1949. More than 600 Chinese traveler are due to arrive Friday on weeklong package tours.
While the Chinese tourism push to Taiwan is in its infancy, traffic in the other direction is well established, with about 4 million Taiwanese visiting the mainland annually.
Taiwan hopes the commercial service will be extended to weekdays in coming months, with an aim of attracting 1 million Chinese tourists a years, up from just 80,000 last year, officials say.
To avoid any embarrassing scenes, Taiwanese officials have vowed to prevent any confrontations between the visitors and any anti-communist activists. Followers of Falun Gong, a group strongly opposed to the Chinese government, have ignored requests by the Tainan municipal government in southern Taiwan to stay away from several popular tourist sites.
Falun Gong, a spiritual movement rooted in Buddhism, Taoism and traditional Chinese beliefs, has been persecuted in China and Beijing banned it as an "evil cult" in 1999.
"If the mainlanders have any grievances or are involved in any disputes, we will have an emergency task force to deal with them," said Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin.
Despite its spectacular outdoors, Taiwan has never become a popular spot for foreign travelers because of decades of emphasis on industrial _ not tourism _ development. Now officials are counting on the mainlanders to help stimulate the sluggish economy.
To cash in on the expected tourism boom, local authorities spruced up sightseeing spots such as Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan and Mt. Ali in the south. Another likely draw will be an elaborate mausoleum in the memory of late Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-shek, located in the rugged mountains of northern Taiwan.

The California stem cell agency is slated to secure additional bond funding this spring when the financially troubled Golden State initiates a new round of borrowing.
CIRM Chairman Jonathan Thomas told directors today that the $3 billion agency will be involved in the upcoming round. He did not specify the amount that CIRM would receive or the timing of the bond issue.
The agency's only significant funding comes from state bonds, whose funds flow directly to CIRM. The governor and legislature cannot touch the CIRM funds under the terms of the ballot measure that created the research effort in 2004.
Last year at this time, the state suspended bond sales. At the time, CIRM had sufficient funds to meet its commitments until about June of this year. Late last year, Thomas worked out a temporary funding arrangement with the governor's financial aides to cover any possible shortfall.
Thomas made the announcement at the beginning of today's CIRM board meeting in San Diego.
Currently CIRM President Alan Trounson is reviewing new stem cell research that has been published recently.

I had just written a post to this blog about reading books and electricity when the electricity went out here in paradise, Chimuri Cottages, Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. It happens on a regular basis. I was worrying about my granddaughter not reading -- because of the attraction of TV, computers, cell phones, games, etc. etc. Already her mother's generation has been wooed away from reading. But I also gave kudoes to the teacher librarians who are making use of technology to entice young people to read books! This is one of the themes of our CSLA Conference, November 19-21 in Ontario, Calif. which I helped plan, but won't be able to attend.
Elena was thrilled to get this book for her birthday. She had already seen the movie and received a stuffed "Wild Thing" from her Dad. I understand the movie wasn't that good -- she fell asleep. But I also think that movies like that are made often for adults.
So this will be short so I can post it before I lose electricity again.
Here's to reading and a future that will include books. I don't think you can replace them as they do not depend on electricity. Of course, they may have to be handwritten in future!

If you were dumb enough to do that, please go take care of your injuries now. If you didn't follow those crazy instructions, know this: I borrowed them from Stephen Graham Jones' The Least of My Scars, a novel that can be called many things, and the literary equivalent of that bit of self-inflicted punishment is one of them.
The Least of My Scars follows William Colton Hughes, a professional killer who's as unhinged as they come. Billy works for a man named Singer who provides him with everything he needs to get the job done. The gig is easy: victims are delivered to his door and all Billy has to do is end their lives and dispose of them, and he has a sweet setup that allows him to do that quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, his reclusive lifestyle start affecting Billy. With no one to talk to and the apartments that surround him being empty on purpose, the silence is filled by Billy's growing paranoia. To make things worse, there's a woman out there who's hell-bent on revenge and Singer seems to be angry about something. When people come to knock on his door, Billy knows they should be afraid, but now he's the one who hesitates before opening the door.
Jones is a master storyteller regardless of genre, and his skills are in full display here. The prose is feverish and seems to push the narrative forward at 100 miles per hour. Billy, whose voice makes him a likeable character despite being a psychotic murderer with a taste for torture, appears to be a somewhat reliable narrator, but his mental state clouds everything in mystery and the few surreal touches Jones adds sporadically keep the reader guessing until the end. Also, the narrative walks a fine line between a superb horror story and one of the darkest noirs published in 2013.
One of the best things a novel can do is stick to your ribs and come back to you whenever a thing or a word triggers a powerful memory. The Least of My Scars does that with a few things. That I'll never look at garbage disposal units the same way again is almost understandable, but that thin mints now make me think of death and torture is a testament to Jones' creative chops.
Last but not least, one of the reasons everyone should read this book is the fact that it accomplishes a lot within a very limited microcosm. Billy never leaves the apartment/hive he has created, but his mind is all over the place, and the reader goes with him.
The Least of My Scars is dark and cerebral. Jones is one of the top voices in literature and he keeps inventing entertaining delivery systems for his narratives. This book, the first I've read from the first batch of Broken River Books' inaugural batch, is one that fans of crime fiction will compare to most classic serial killer narratives like Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho, Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me, and Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs. However, this is a different, much more brutal animal. You'll have to read it to understand why.

The Borges Torrealba family of Brazil has invested in Three Chimneys and is now a partner in the Midway, Ky., farm, according to the Thoroughbred Daily News.
"Three Chimneys' mission is always has been to attract the best horses and customers in the world," Case Clay, farm president and son of owners Robert and Blythe Clay, told the TDN. "Strategically, we think in order to execute our long-term strategy and continue this mission with strength, we are happy to align ourselves with a well-capitalized, long-term partner, which is a family who shares our idea, vision and values."
The investment will strengthen the position of Three Chimneys as a major player in mare and stallion acquisitions, Goncalo Torrealba told the TDN. "Together, we bought some very high-class mares at the Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland sales," Torrealba said, "and we plan to add to that inventory in years to come. We also plan to invest in top-class stallions."
The Borges Torrealba family is well known in Brazil, both in the business and horse racing worlds. Their Libra Group owns shipping terminals in several major Brazilian cities, including Rio de Janeiro and Santos, and they operate Stud TNT, which stands 14 stallions, including shuttle stallions Leroidesanimaux, the Brazilian-bred, U.S. champion turf male who sired Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom. Also shuttling to Stud TNT is Leroidesanimaux's sire, Candy Stripes, and Breeders' Cup Classic winner Drosselmeyer.
Rumors of a deal between the Borges Torrealba family and Three Chimneys had been swirling since the beginning of the November breeding stock sales in Lexington, where Goncalo Torrealba has been extremely active, spending over $8 million. It was not until yesterday, however, that Case Clay confirmed the partnership with TDN.
In August 2011, Everett Dobson of Oklahoma City (co-owner of the Oklahoma Thunder of the NBA) became a minority partner in the Three Chimneys stallion division. Dobson is a co-owner of Grade 1 winner Caleb's Posse, who joins Big Brown, Exchange Rate, Flower Alley, Sky Mesa, Yes It's True and several others on the Three Chimneys stallion roster for the 2013 breeding season.

I parked at Notch Lake on sunday 6/11/17. Took the Devils Path up to the split going to West Kill/Sw Hunter or Hunter. I made a left to head to Sw Hunter first. I was surprised to find that someone had trimmed the trail recently up to a certain point. There had been trail maintenance done on the Devils Path and going up to Hunter Mt.
The canister on Sw Hunter is easy to find and the herd path led right to it. Sw Hunter is such a nice hike following the ridge line, you can get a couple of small views off the trail.
We decided to go to Geiger Point while we were there. Good views but it is starting to grow over. There was an illegal camping site found about thirty feet from the ledge. Apparently Dec knows people camp here cause there was a Camping Prohibited sign. The recent campers left a burned can and some chop sticks. Headed back to the split and went up to Hunter Mt. It was a good clear day.
I went with a group of seven friends so I wasn't moving as quick as I would by myself. Going back down the Devils Path to Notch Lake was rough.

Patient Testimonials for Dr. Brian Dower Chiropractor
Sometimes, our patients say it best
Name:Michael McE.
How long have you been a chiropractic patient?2 months
What was your reason for consulting our office? Back pain, tight back muscles, numbness and tingling, tight neck muscles.
How long had this been a problem for you?6 months. I was unable to do yoga or exercise at the gym.It was also difficult to sit and work for long periods of time.
How do you feel about your progress to date? Great.Everything is greatly improved.My back feels better, muscles are looser and I'm back to the gym.
What activities are you able to once again perform with your health improvements? Yoga.Going to the gym.Sitting at work for extended periods of time.
What advice would you give to someone who was new to Chiropractic or considering Chiropractic care? It works! I tried other therapies but none of them made a difference until Chiropractic.
I suffered with brief periods of lower back pain for years and relied upon analgesics to stop the pain.Last fall I started experiencing periods of lower back pain to the point where I couldn't carry on my usual daily activities.
That's when I sought the expertise of Dr. Brian Dower. After a thorough exam and accurate diagnosis, Dr. Dower corrected the problem instead of masking it with pain killers.
I experienced incredible relief from the pain starting with the first visit and adjustment.I am no longer experiencing back pain and am able to carry out my usual daily routine without any difficulty.
I wish to thank Dr. Dower of Park Road Healing Arts for not only watching my back, but creating ahhh's from the ouches I once had.
I highly recommend that anyone experiencing bodily pain from everyday wear and tear or an injury visit Dr. Brian Dower and have him turn your ouches into ahhhh's.
Thank you
I have been a chiropractic patient for approximately 6 weeks.
I came to the office because I had been experiencing chronic lower back pain and pain in both knees for approximately 10 years.However, in the past year the pain had become so bad I found it very difficult to walk any great distances, climbing or descending stairs was always painful and I had great difficulty sleeping due to the pain.Every time I turned in the night I was awakened by the pain in my back and would need to try to reposition.
After only about 2-3 weeks of chiropractic treatment, the pain was already beginning to alleviate.I was able to walk longer distances; I began to feel better not only physically but emotionally as well.Little things, like doing laundry was no longer a daunting, painful task, I could attend my nieces and nephew's hockey games and sit in the stands without being in pain.I found my sleeping improved as well and recently have begun to sleep through the night for the first time in years!In addition, other unexpected things began to happen.I found my stamina and concentration levels began to improve and in fact became the best they had been in years, I don't feel so tired and worn out all the time.Close to the 5 week mark of my treatment, I found that my skin and hair returned to normal and was no longer dry and difficult to manage.
I feel that my progress to date has been a journey of renewal.I came into the treatment with the notion that "well I will try it - if it doesn't work - well nothing lost".Therefore, I had no expectations of how it might be.I guess if I had even achieved minimal pain relief that would have been enough.Now I go entire days pain free.I no longer take Advil on a daily basis or even a weekly basis.I feel more positive about myself but perhaps more importantly, I feel very nurtured by the experience.Dr. Dower is a holistic practitioner as he nurtures your body, mind and soul.This had been the most therapeutic, relaxing, calming and healthy experience of my life.My advice to people thinking about seeking treatment is to get ready to embrace a new you.Open your mind and soul to the possibility of a pain free or reduced pain life with a new appreciation for your body and how it responds to trauma.
I feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful practitioner who has made this journey safe, fun and very very rewarding.
As a naturopathic doctor, I believe in helping people achieve wellness through a multifaceted and complete approach.I do not hesitate to refer my patients to other health practitioners when there is a particular aspect of their health that does not fall into my scope of practice.
Chiropractic is a great complement to naturopathic care, as it addresses the health of the nervous system, which affects the health of every system in the body.
Dr. Brian Dower is a chiropractor who sincerely cares for his patients and takes the time to educate them about their treatments.He is extremely thorough in his assessment of the spine and nervous system, which is essential to providing effective care.Most importantly, as a caring health practitioner, Dr. Dower always ensures that his patients' are comfortable.
I receive only positive feedback from patients in my practice who are also under Dr. Dower's care - I know that they are in trusted hands.
I am completely confident to refer patients to Dr. Dower for chiropractic care.

I wanted to see if chiropractic treatment could alleviate my chronic headaches.

How do you feel about your progress to date?
Very positive, very grateful, very relieved.
What activities are you able to once again perform with your health improvements?
I'm still doing what I've always done (renovations, puppeteering), but without the de-energizing effects of chronic headaches.
What advice would you give to someone who was new to Chiropractic or considering Chiropractic care?

The reason I went to see Dr Dower was not for the usual complaint that is, a sore back. It was because of wellness - wanting good health, wanting to improve my posture. I never listened to my mother when she said to sit or stand up straight and because of that I developed very poor posture. I did not want to end up walking around looking at my feet when I got older, so thought I would try chiropractic care. I have been seeing Dr Dower now for over 4 years and I can see and feel a difference. Both my Tai Chi instructor and my Alexander teacher have noticed that my back has changed, the last few years. I know that chiropractic care, along with Tai Chi and my Alexander lessons have helped make my back more flexible and thereby helping me with my posture. I believe all three of them are working together for that purpose.
Dr Dower believes in a holistic approach, he is very open to all things alternative which was/is important to me. When I first called to make an appointment, the receptionist at the time asked if there was a particular doctor I wanted to see, I said no. She then recommended Dr Dower saying he was very gentle, knowing I was a bit nervous. I am very glad she made that recommendation.
