Reverence and humbleness
Patmos is a famous worldwide destination for the celebration of the Orthodox Easter and is often called the «Jerusalem of the Mediterranean», due to the presence of St. John the Evangelist, who wrote the book of Revelation into the holy cave. A genuine sacred cave, flooded with saintliness, which is said to have been created by the voice of God that entered the cave causing a large crack, forming the rocky ceiling in three smaller pieces (symbolizing the Holy Trinity).
Definitely attend the holy ceremony of the Washbasin on Holy Thursday. The Abbot, just as Jesus did, washes the feet of twelve monks sitting on a big platform, just like the students at the Last Supper. On Holy Friday, the representation of the Deposition is performed at the monastery of St. John the Theologian. During the same evening, all epitaphs from the island's churches follow a mournful march through the streets of Patmos and meet in the large squares of Chora and Skala.
The gates of the Monastery are open for all believers during the evening of Holy Saturday and offer the opportunity to experience the resurrection of Jesus, carried out at one of the most significant monasteries of Christendom. On Easter Sunday, the Gospel of the Resurrection is read in various languages during the «Love» service, a service many believers attend from every corner of the Earth.
Patmos Aktis Suites & Spa, is open during the Holy days of Easter in order to accommodate guests who wish to experience the true character of the Orthodox Easter, in the holy island of the Apocalypse. The hotel's personnel will be happy to inform you of all the customs and traditional festive ceremonies on the island. Each year, the award-winning restaurant Apocalypsis, offers its guests a Lenten menu during the Holy Week, a resurrection menu during the Holy Saturday evening, offering the established traditional soup and a rich buffet during Easter Sunday, including the famous local lamb and a generous Greek buffet.

Mark Kishlansky
- The Complete Works of Gerrard Winstanley by Thomas Corns, Ann Hughes and David Loewenstein
Oxford, 1065 pp, £189.00, December 2009, ISBN 978 0 19 957606 7
The Russians have a saying: 'The past is unpredictable.' So it has proved for Gerrard Winstanley. For all but one of his 67 years he lived in obscurity and then he died forgotten. Generations of historians passed over him either in silence or derision. He entirely eluded the notice of the Earl of Clarendon in the 17th century and of David Hume in the 18th. Even the Jacobin William Godwin, the first champion of the Civil War radicals, judged his exploits 'scarcely worthy to be recorded', and S.R. Gardiner's comprehensive history of the Commonwealth contained only two references to him, one a bare mention of his name. Then in the early 20th century, Winstanley was rediscovered, and he has exerted a magnetic pull on left-leaning intellectuals ever since. He is variously credited as the father of English communism, socialism or environmentalism, depending on which is seeking paternity. His notice in the Victorian DNB was a scant 700 words; in the new DNB it has ballooned to more than 8000. Now he has been canonised by the publication of an Oxford edition of his complete works, the second complete works in a century, more than have been accorded either Hobbes or Locke.

According to an IANS report, actress Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu exchanged vows on January 25, 2015. The wedding took place at their Khar residence in the presence of a registrar and family members like brother Saif Ali Khan, sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor and mother Sharmila Tagore, the report stated. Soha had earlier shared that the ceremony would be a "small wedding in the presence of our family members."
The actress chose to keep the look for her D-Day minimal as she donned an off-white lehenga-choli set teamed with an orange dupatta and a traditional passa tikka adorning her head. Kunal looked regal in a white-gold sherwani and a silk safa.
Kareena looked beautiful in an off white-pink sari. Saif maintained his nawabi look in a pure white achkan and churidaar as he attended to the guests at the ceremony. White seemed to be the favourite colour of the day as Sharmila Tagore opted for a traditional Assamese garb mekhela chador in the pale shade.
Soha Ali Khan had earlier shared that the ceremony would be a "small wedding in the presence of our family members" and so it happened, in contrast with brother Saif's wedding in 2012.
Kunal Kemmu took to Twitter to thank his fans for their wishes and shared a picture of himself and Soha from the ceremony.
A very big thank you to all of you for all the love and blessings. It's Official now !! pic.twitter.com/63AaogYFhQ
— kunal kemmu (@kunalkemmu) January 25, 2015
Soha, who believes that people need to have "a sense of commitment, maturity and infinite patience to make a marriage last", got engaged to Kunal in Paris last year after dating each other for quite some time and have always been open about their relationship. The duo has worked together in 2009 film '99'.

Interesting facts to mention - Whistler was so happy with his painting 'The Chelsea Girl' he gave it to Mary Cassatt's brother, Alexander, a well-known, important man who was president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The artist, Robert Henri, was their distant cousin - here's my recent painting of Henri's hung in the museum as well.

Arm & Finger Knitting Book Winners
Happy New Year Friends!
I hope that you have all had an amazing festive holiday – for us its been one of hangs with family & friends, eating and getting merry. Now, there ain't much in life that is better then that!
I'm feeling a little slow to get started with the New Year, the good times over the last couple of weeks have left me feeling a little under the weather and pretty worn out – so, I intend on spending the last remaining holiday weekend, resting, recovering and getting things back to ship-shape! I've not even thought about resolutions yet – which is so unlike me – usually I have a list (as long as my arm!) of things I want to change, achieve and do in the New Year…so, if you've made resolutions be sure to share them – I'd love a bit of inspiration! Or, if like me, you are taking the first few days of 2015 with a sleepy head, then be sure to check back in a couple of days to see how my resolutions and plans are shaping up!
Well, I may be taking a rather laid back approach to this year, but I can start it out with something a little rad! Remember that giveaway that I ran in December to win one of the Five early copies of my new Arm & Finger Knitting book? Well, friends, now is the time to announce the winners!
It has taken me an age to work though all the entries, here, over on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – but, the names have been added to the hat and the lucky folks have been picked out!
Charles Budd
Ellie Rowe-Parratt
Be sure to email over your postal address so that we can get these early copies out to you as soon as possible!
I'm sorry that there can't be more winners – however, over the coming weeks there will be lots of opportunities for seeing more makes from this book, so be sure to watch this space!
Have a happy Friday y'all!

Love that door, Jackie, and those blue/violet flowers are so wispy on your playing cards. How did you do them?
Wow, you really went to town with these, Jackie! I love altering cards too - I don't know what it is about them - perhaps the rounded corners? They're all very different, but somehow belong together! Your beautiful style ties them together!

Marketing spiritual direction can be a touchy subject. There are some spiritual directors who abhor the idea of advertising their availability. In fact, A Code of Ethics for Spiritual Directors (Dove Publications), states:
"Traditionally, spiritual directors have not publicized or advertised their services, or promoted themselves in other ways (p15)."
That was published in 1992, before people began using the Internet as a primary communication tool. Today if a spiritual director is available and wants to let the world know that he or she is offering spiritual direction, it is expected that social media, websites and email marketing as well as the traditional business cards and brochures will be used to get the word out.
The thing to remember about marketing yourself as a trained and available spiritual director is that most spiritual entrepreneurs engage in "soft marketing" rather than the hard sell. Their websites are safe places for seekers to go and read about the kind of spiritual direction or guidance they are doing. It's a way of letting the world know what spiritual direction is and how you are different from other forms of guidance, such as life coaching or intuition counseling. Soft marketing involves describing your service and waiting for clients to come to you instead of directly recruiting people as clients. Much like Twelve Step groups, we want to rely mostly on attraction rather than promotion.
As you prepare your "attraction materials," make sure your information is completely factual and devoid of any claims or promises about spiritual direction. For example, never promise spiritual healing or any other specific outcome.
It is important also that you not conjure up fancy titles for yourself that could be misleading. Yes, there are lots of spiritual directors who do not like the term "director" because of the many connotations of the word "direct." But coming up with a creative term for it that is confusing or misleading is not helpful either. In particular, never call yourself a spiritual counselor (unless you are licensed as a counselor in your state) or a "prayer therapist" unless you want to get into trouble with the therapists in your area. The synonyms I've heard for spiritual direction are usually just as problematic as spiritual director which is why I prefer the original title. At least a few people in the world know what a spiritual director is and the tradition behind what we do. If they don't, your marketing material is the perfect place to give your definition.
Since most directees will find you based on a referral from someone who knows you, make sure you let all your friends and colleagues know you are working as a spiritual director and accepting new clients. Physicians, nurses, psychologists, clergy, chaplains, campus ministers, retreat center directors and social workers all meet with people daily who may be in need of spiritual direction. Make sure those people in your life have your business card, brochure or website address. If you feel the need to do some "push" marketing, then those professionals would be people you would be well advised to meet, greet and talk with about spiritual direction, asking them to take your card and provide referrals whenever they feel comfortable.
It's time spiritual direction made its peace with marketing. Our work is a vital ministry and a bright light for a lot of people. Wasn't it Jesus who said, "Who lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel basket?"
For more about spiritual direction as I practice it, check out my website. If you have questions or comments about the content of Spiritual Direction 101, please let me hear from you in the reply section below.

Carnival Magic skips Cozumel after Mexico refuses clearance
Carnival Cruise Lines curtailed the Carnival Magic's itinerary and headed back to Galveston after Mexican authorities failed to clear the ship for its scheduled call at Cozumel on October 17. On the ship was a Texas healthcare worker who might have handled lab samples from an Ebola patient at a Dallas hospital.
Carnival said the ship waited until noon for clearance but when it wasn't forthcoming "the decision was made to proceed to Galveston to ensure the ship arrives there on time on Sunday morning."
Guests on the ship will get a US$200-per-person credit on their shipboard accounts and a 50 percent discount on a future cruise based on the missed visit to Cozumel.
The healthcare worker who was quarantined aboard the Carnival Magic is not infected with the Ebola virus, a blood test confirmed in Galveston. Although not required or requested by health authorities, the ship underwent "a very comprehensive and aggressive cleaning and sanitizing" before guests started boarding for the next voyage at 1pm that day.
Belize authorities did not allow the healthcare worker to enter the country and then Mexico refused clearance to the entire ship.

Ebola affects safari tour operators
Once again the African travel industry has fallen victim to guilt by association that comes from the primitive conception of geography in mainstream America. Safari tour operator Abercrombie & Kent is countering panic with rationality, reassuring travelers with a list of relevant facts:
1. The continent of Africa is larger than the US, China, India, Europe and Japan combined.
2. Africa is not one country but 54 independent nations with strict customs controls. Most have restricted entry to travelers that visited affected West African countries.
3. The main safari destinations are in East and Southern Africa, which is farther away from the affected countries in West Africa than parts of Europe and South America.
4. The affected countries are in the extreme western part of the African continent, thousands of kilometers from the main safari routes. Geographically, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are closer to Madrid, Paris and London than they are to Kenya.
5. There have been no cases of Ebola in Southern or East Africa, which includes South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.
6. Dakar, Senegal, in the affected area, is closer to New York (3,818 miles) than it is to Nairobi (3,865 miles), Johannesburg (4,159 miles) or Cape Town (4,100 miles).
Within Africa, Ebola has been confined to Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal.
According to Dan Austin, president of Austin Adventures, "In my humble opinion there are better odds for winning the lottery than getting Ebola. Reading up on it, the average traveler needs to relax."

Coming in 2015: A 22-day cruise down the Mississippi
Call it the ultimate cruise for American riverboat fans. American Cruise Lines has announced plans for a 22-day Mississippi River sailing in 2015 that takes in nearly the entire length of the waterway from the Gulf of Mexico to Minnesota. The Complete Mississippi Cruise will kick off on August. 8, 2015 in New Orleans and include 16 stops before ending in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The voyage will take place on the line's 150-passenger American Eagle, a new vessel that will debut in 2015. The new American Eagle will feature larger cabins than other riverboats sailing in North America as well as private balconies, more lounges and more spacious dining areas than other riverboats.
The American Eagle is one of four new riverboats that American Cruise Lines is building for America's waterways in what amounts to a major bet on American river cruising. It operates six ships in all, four of which are coastal cruisers that sail along the coast of New England, in the Chesapeake Bay, in Alaska's Inside Passage and other coastal areas.

The Video Assistant: making films with your Facebook pictures
Some of you may already know what the Video Assistant is about, some may not, so I thought a quick recap could help.
The Video Assistant is a free service Stupeflix offers to its users. If you connect your Facebook account and activate the Video Assistant it will start making videos for you.
The Video Assistant will make a video when:
- new photos are added to your Facebook photo albums
- to show you the photos posted by your friends during last week
- to remind you what was happening a year ago.
You will receive an email when a new video comes out, you should get one about once a week.
You will know if the video was created by the Video Assistant, it is shown on the page of your video, above its name.
The Video Assistant uses a random video style as well as a random music to create your video.
Videos made for you by the Video Assistant are in 360p, they can be shared, upgraded to HD, or edited. In order to download the video, you first need to either upgrade it to HD (720p), or edit it in a project to export it.
Of course the activation of the Video Assistant is up to you and we don't publish videos on your wall without your consent.
You can choose to activate it or deactivate it under the menu "Your Account".
You also have the option to share the video – or not – with your friends on your Facebook wall, that's your call.

PARIS (Reuters) - The French have found a new and original way of protesting against President Nicolas Sarkozy: reading a 17th century tale of thwarted love.
Ever since school, Sarkozy says, he has hated "La Princesse de Cleves" ("The Princess of Cleves"), a classic novel by Madame de La Fayette which was published in 1678 and is taught in most French classrooms.
Now, as Sarkozy's popularity falls, sales of the book are rising. At the Paris book fair this week, publishers reported selling all available copies of the novel, while badges emblazoned with the slogan "I am reading La Princesse de Cleves" were a must-have item that sold out within hours.
"It's a book that people ask for regularly, but at the moment there's something of a rush," said a saleswoman at a large bookshop in central Paris, checking computer records that showed increased sales in February and March.
Sarkozy's views on the novel are hardly new. As far back as 2006, before he became president, he made a comment that left no doubt that his school memories of it were not happy ones.
"A sadist or an idiot, up to you, included questions about 'La Princesse de Cleves' in an exam for people applying for public sector jobs," he said, adding that it would be "a spectacle" to see low-level staff speak on the challenging work.
Since then, Sarkozy has repeatedly criticized the tale of duty versus love at the 16th century court of King Henri II, suggesting that knowledge of it was not useful.
Over time, his attacks have bolstered the book's popularity, and even given it a new role as a symbol of dissent at a time when public anger over Sarkozy's economic policies is high.
Public readings of the work have proliferated at universities like the Sorbonne in Paris, hit by protests over government reform plans, and at theatres.
Jean Fabbri, head of the Snesup union of university lecturers, said reading the book was "a form of resistance."
"It's as if the state was telling us what is good or bad to study. One dimension of the battle of the universities is a defense of our freedom of thought," Fabbri told Reuters.
The cultural weekly Telerama this week published results of a survey asking 100 French writers to list their 10 favorite books. "La Princesse de Cleves" came third in the overall rankings, after masterpieces by Marcel Proust and James Joyce.
Telerama commented that it was unlikely Madame de La Fayette would have done so well before Sarkozy's jibes.
The president's office declined to comment.

Where were we again? Oh yeah, lunch time! It was raining pretty hard, so we headed back to the campsite/cabin for lunch. On the way back, we had to go around some rocks that fell into the road...
Mini landslide. The guys were clearly more worried about this than I was, but its no joke - there's a lot of extremely steep ground that can easily create landslides when it rains - but I knew I was in good hands with Go Ishii behind the wheel!
Soon we were back at the campsite, enjoying the leftovers of this stew from the night before, with soba noodles added. Thanks to Kura-san for this delicious vegetable and pork red-miso stew that kept me in good spirits, even with all the rain.
At lunch we talked about the state of Tenkara in Japan and the US, and some of the different players. Go told me about many of the anglers who had come to visit Japan so far, and it was great to hear this all from the Japanese perspective. Summary: go fishing in Japan.
I decided that it would be a good idea to use this post-lunch rest time while the rain slowed, to discuss flies. Above is a nymph that imitates a local butterfly grub. It caught plenty of fish in the AM.
The flies above were tied by Kura-San in the kebari style. He used the dark-bodies for summer fishing, and was adamant about using the lighter bodied-flies in the early season/spring. I didn't have many with me, but luckily the ones I did bring were working fine, and I had not lost any yet!
The flies in the boxes above were tied by Otani-San, or mostly tied by him. He had an affinity for larger kebari, so he had a section of his box devoted to them in different colors. I noted that there were plenty with multi-colored bodies, but didn't really ask about that.
Above, flies tied by Kiwi (of the North River Blog and of "American Sakasa Kebari" blog-fame, which he was generous to tie for me to bring for the Japanese anglers.)
Soon the rain had slowed and pretty much stopped, so we geared up to head out for the afternoon. The plan was to fish "Tani" or tributary waters... similar to "Genryu" which, I learned, only applies to the true headwaters of a river, and not technically any-old tributary... good to learn this difference!
The skies were still cloudy and a Hawk flew overhead as we neared our tributary, recommended by Ajari-San the night before. Kura-San and Otani-San seemed to use the same (Oni?) rods they had used in the AM. However, being that I was finally fishing the small stream waters I was more used to at home, I wanted to switch to a smaller, more sensitive rod, because that's how I roll over here. Go Ishii generously offered me his Nissin Pro-Square, and again, I can't thank him enough!
I had a nice chase to my fly above this pool - I had switched to a size 16 " the usual" just for fun, its a really productive trout fly for me in the Northeast US. No surprise that as soon as I had a nice run to fish, I had a couple of follows. Again showing me that light colors worked great here in the spring. Unfortunately no takes... I watched a beautiful Amago follow the fly through the run I fished twice, but on the second follow, it saw me, and darted across and back to its hiding spot.
Soon the rain was picking up and the alarm at the dam went off, telling anglers to clear the river for an upcoming water release. We weren't in any danger on the tributary, but figured it was a good time to call it a day. Everyone had hooked or landed fish and I sensed that it was, once again, time to start drinking and laughing and getting warm.
Soon we were joined by a few locals, who (if I heard correctly) were members of the local fishing collective, the group that controls the Tenkawa river and issues fishing tickets. We had a second Otani-San now (sitting where the first Otani-San was sitting the night before, on the left, in this photo.) Slightly confusing? It mattered not, everyone was in good spirits and happy to be in good company.
And I certainly cannot forget Minami-San, one of the locals who, upon seeing all the Daiginjo Sake I brought, got right back in his car and drove home and back to bring me a bottle of his local Daiginjo sake. What a treat! It was some kind of "local rice growers reserve" that was made by and for those who grow the rice, and, unlike the rest of this breweries' sakes, was not exported or widely available in Japan either. Thank you, Minami-San!
There was squid on the grill, and then Go Ishii busted out some prime sukiyaki-style beef (I think that's the name for this...) and had brought 3 different cuts/quality-levels. I exploded with Joy... let's be honest, after a week of seafood-heavy cuisine, the thought of pure beef on the tongue was as good as anything I could think of at the moment. And what a treat it was!
A splash of sake and soy, or not... both ways worked just fine, and the beef tasted amazing. More drinking and fun ensued.
As the level of intoxication increased to a level that was perfect for what was going on around me, Kura-san started having fun with the stew pot. We were out of stew, but he had lots of seaweed left. Hmm... Is this drunk food in Japan? Go suggested it would be too much seaweed and he was right. We didn't eat it, letting Kura-San and Otani-San finish it off. I resorted to snacking on cookies, which was another amazing treat.
At some point it got really late and the group dispersed. I stumbled into the cabin, finding that kura-san had turned in already. I turned the in-cabin propane heater to "blast" and got inside my sleeping bag. It would be close to freezing this night, and I was ready to catch up on all the lost sleep. I was out like a log, and awoke the next morning to snowflakes. Uh-oh.
In the AM it was clear that conditions were not ideal for fishing... the dam had released a lot of water, and the river was flowing much higher both below and above the dam. That, coupled with the threat of snow had us packing up early to escape the mountains. I had a plane to catch the next day and couldn't let the weather get the better of me.
Reluctantly, I said goodbye to the others and loaded my stuff into Go's van. We headed back towards Kyoto to find a hotel and some food. It was really hard to say goodbye to my new friends, and I'm REALLY looking forward to the next time I can visit in Japan. Hopefully they can come to the US and I can show them the same hospitality they showed me!
On the way back, I spotted a tank of trout in front of a store in the town of Tenkawa. I don't know if they were for purchase as food, for bait, or to be used as some kind of marketing for the store, which was closed at the time. As I approached the tank, the fish went nuts. I didn't want to stress them too much so I left quickly.
After driving through a bit of a snow storm, we were back in Kyoto for a cold, windy, but absolutely beautiful afternoon. We started with some epic traditional style Ramen - simple and nothing like the heavy pork-fat-laden broth of the Tonkatsu ramen I eat so readily at home.
Before heading home, Go was nice enough to take me to a few amazing tourism-worthy sites in Kyoto.
Nijo castle, the Tokugawa Shogunate home in Kyoto was epic. It included multiple levels of walls, moats, and a castle within a castle. Bonus - Dr Seuss trees, above.
Gardens, doors, architecture, sun, evergreen trees, moss and a sense of deep history... what a treat.
The view from the tower ruins over the inner moat.
Finally, it was time to say our goodbyes. I knew I had made an important friendship (or friendships) in Japan, and it meant a lot to me. I felt really lucky to have had such a great opportunity to learn from another culture on multiple levels. I'm looking forward to the next time I can see my new friends!
I spent the evening exploring Kyoto alone, a very new and exciting experience for me. I had been with various groups for 12 days and was enjoying time to just wander and do my own thing. I finished at Jam Hostel & Sake Bar... the best sake list I found in Kyoto by far. Prices were more than reasonable.
The flight home was way faster than on the way to Japan. I took some time to look out the window in the back of the plane while we flew over Alaska. It was just indescribable and a real treat to see what it looked like from the air. I'm not sure if this is part of the Brooks range, as my GPS was off while in airplane mode... but what an adventure it must be to traverse these mountains. I was feeling a little emotional and somewhat overwhelmed by all the amazing things I had seen and experienced over the last 12 days. This was an adventure to remember... but hopefully not just once in a lifetime. I plan to return to Japan, and so should you!

Swimming Safety tips
Whether at home or abroad, follow these basic tips for keeping safe:
- Never swim alone or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and never dive head-first into an unfamiliar body of water.
- Check local information for details of tides, currents and pollution.
- Bilharzia, a parasitic infection of the bowel or bladder, may be contracted by contact with infested fresh water in the tropics.
- In certain areas, fatal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis has occurred following swimming in warm dirty water.
- Salt water is generally safer than fresh water for swimming in developing countries. However, only pools that contain properly chlorinated water can be considered safe from infectious diseases.
- When swimming in the sea, check out the possible existence of jellyfish, sea urchins, coral, sea snakes, sharks and venomous fish. Human sewage and animal faeces make some beaches no-go areas for swimming or even wading.

50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station. Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors. While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday. Visit "Holiday Money" to read the holiday article in full.
13. Save up for the holiday you really want You don't have to slum it. If you plan ahead and save your money like people did in the 'olden' days, you can have the holiday you want, where you want and when you want – even in the school holidays.
14. Take your bike If you can't travel in the small hours, taking your family by car to the Continent in the summer can cost a small fortune. So long as you tell the ferry company in advance, most will allow you to take your bikes for free. This is especially viable if you're visiting Holland or the Belgian coast, which are famously rather flat.
15. Go youth hostelling Did you know that in spite of the name, youth hostels are not the preserve of the young – and many have family rooms?
Visit Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, and all of the other Walt Disney characters at World Disney World in Florida – don't book a hotel room, rent a luxury villa within minutes of the theme parks. Florida villas for rent near Walt Disney World with private swimming pool.

27. Find a low-cost insurance policy online Your travel agent – online or High Street – will try to flog you insurance. Just say no. Go online or talk to a broker and you'll find single-trip European policies for less than £10 per person. If you're going away more than once in the year, consider an annual policy. Just make sure you understand what you need and read the small print. Tip: single-trip policies cover you for cancellation as soon as you take out the policy even if your travel dates are months ahead. This is not the case for annual policies, which start from the day you take
28. Shop around for your European breakdown cover We've all heard of the AA and RAC but it's only insurance and any number of companies offer the same type of policies for significantly less money.
29. The packed lunch trick If you're flying no-frills, you can pay several pounds for an in-flight sandwich and drink or you can take your own. With some of these low-cost deals, the cost of your food can be more expensive than the cost of your flights. There's a principle at stake here more than just a free lunch.
30. Take the coach According to a This is Money survey, petrol will have to reach £10 a litre before we start leaving our cars at home in any great numbers. Until then public transport is always going to find it hard to compete. But coaches are pretty luxurious these days and at the time of writing, megabus.com is offering intercity fares throughout the UK from 50p, with £1 fares available during the Christmas holidays.
Holidays Indonesia
43. Don't let Disney take the Mickey The mousesavers website maybe for American people but it is definitely worth a read if you want to do Disney for less.
44. Track down local restuarants In Venice, in general, the closer a restaurant is to St Mark's Square the more touristy and expensive it is. Remember, wherever you go local people eat out too. Avoid the tourist traps and you'll be better fed and richer.
45. Check in to the library For free guide books pop in to your local library. You can ask for an extended borrowing period if you are worried about not getting the books back on time, or renew them online.

Blender Salmon Souffle
Salmon Blender Soufflé
~ Serves 4
A great and easy way to incorporate salmon without breaking the bank! If you use flax seed to dust the dish, you'll get a double dose of Omega 3s.
8 ounces smoked salmon or 7.5 oz. can wild salmon
6 free-range eggs
12 oz. organic cottage cheese
2 TB lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ C chopped red onion
¼ C fresh dill
Bread crumbs or ground flax seed
Preheat oven to 350.
Butter and dust 1 quart soufflé dish or 4 (8-ounce) ramekins. Coarsely chop smoked salmon and put aside, or if using canned salmon, thoroughly drain the salmon. In a bowl, clean bones and skin from salmon. Break it into fine pieces with a fork. Set aside. Place all remaining ingredients in a blender container. Cover and blend at medium speed for about 30 seconds. Blend at high speed for another 10 to15 seconds. Stir the egg mixture into the bowl with the salmon. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish or spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins including an equal amount of salmon pieces in each. Bake for 45 minutes to 50 minutes on a cookie sheet, until puffy and delicately browned. Don't open oven door for at least 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

It's that time of year when millions of people are making personal resolutions. Unfortunately, the vast majority won't succeed in achieving their goals. I gave up making resolutions a long time ago after it was clear that I continually was part of that vast majority.
But as each new year begins, I do take a long, hard look at my business. What went well last year, what didn't, and where do I want to take my business going forward. Chris Brogan recently wrote about his approach and it really resonated with me.
"Every year, I come up with three words that will be my guiding pillars for what I will focus on in the coming year. Instead of resolutions, which don't usually help me very much, I work hard on using these words as a lighthouse for my actions and efforts."
Distraction is our constant nemesis as we juggle all the balls of our business each day. We often operate in reactionary mode which is, by its nature, short-term focused. While there will always be some fires that need to be put out, I want to manage those fires by thinking longer-term. And that requires a different lens.
I hope my words for 2011 will provide the lens that helps me focus and move my business forward.
Here they are:
Action. Useful. Connect.
Actions cause movement and momentum that ideas alone cannot.
Be Useful. 'Value' is the buzzword; Useful is essential to getting and keeping clients.
Connect. Actively and continuously connect with more people to learn and share.
Achieving goals requires making good judgments about what to do and what not to do. Having the proper lenses can make that easier.
What are your 3 words for this year?

Looking back on the Maddie case: Witness statement - Sílvia Batista
Witness statement of Sílvia Maria Correia Ramos Batista
Date: 2007/07/26
Time: 16h00
Location: CID Portimão
Statement taken by Paulo Ferreira, Inspector
Concerning the matter of the process, the witness said:
That she has given statements for several times within the process, and remembers the contents of what she stated before, therefore reproducing the contents of the previous statements into this statement.
The deponent offers another statement because with the passage of time, since Madeleine's disappearance, she has remembered some details of the facts that she witnessed, which she considers of some interest to the investigation.
Like she said before, she was alerted to Madeleine's disappearance between 10.30 and 11 p.m. She was at home and was informed about the event through a telephone call. She immediately went to the Ocean Club, where she arrived only minutes before the GNR officers. When she arrived at the resort, she went immediately to apartment 5A, where she met several persons both on the inside and on the outside of the apartment. She went into the apartment but left it right away without speaking to anyone, because she was informed that the GNR officers were at the main reception, so she went to meet them.
When she arrived near the GNR officers, she verified that Gerry, Madeleine's father, was behind her, in the company of another individual whose identity she doesn't remember. At that moment, Gerry placed both knees on the floor, hit the floor with both hands, too, placing himself like a praying Arab, and shouted out twice in rage, and it was not possible to understand what he said. Then Gerry got back on his feet and accompanied the deponent and the other individual who was in the GNR car, to apartment 5A.
Already on location, the deponent entered the apartment and asked those who were present both for the passports of all family members and photographs of the missing person. The deponent walked Gerry to the GNR car, so he could deliver the requested documents. She states that she carried out these diligences, and other diligences, at the request of the GNR Commander as they used the deponent's knowledge of the English language to translate the questions that were asked from the missing person's family members, and the answers that were given. She remembers that Gerry gave the GNR Commander several photographs of the missing person. These were postcard-type photographs, taking their size and shape into account. They were actually photographs of the size and shape of a postcard, and they seemed to be all similar to her.
She also realised that from the very first moment on, both Gerry and the rest of the group members insisted in stating that Madeleine had been abducted, all of them using the word "abducted" [original in English] instead of missing, and they all showed great interest in informing the press about the situation.
The deponent further recalls that she entered the room where Madeleine had been sleeping. She now remembers that the door was closed. The inside of the room was dark. The shutters were down, and light entered only through its holes. The windows were closed and the curtains slightly open. Gerry, who accompanied the deponent during this visit, with the GNR officers also present, said that it had been him who had closed the window because the babies were still sleeping inside, which the deponent could verify as true. Gerry mentioned that when he noticed that Madeleine was missing, he had found the window and shutters open, and the curtains fluttering.
The deponent recalls that the cots that were used by the babies were placed in the middle of the room and aligned, and therefore she found it strange that someone could have taken Madeleine from the bed where she was sleeping up to the window, because there was no space to get through. The deponent opened the bedroom's wardrobe to check if eventually Madeleine was hiding inside. Then they all left the room, and someone closed its door again. The deponent remained in the living room for a while, with the GNR officers, Gerry and the other group members that were there in a frenzy, going in and out and speaking on their mobile phones. She noticed that none of the group members, including the child's mother and father, were busy looking for her. The mother was sitting on the master bedroom's bed, the father accompanied the deponent and the GNR officers and the other group members walked in and out and spoke on the phone, apparently concerned about informing the press about the event.
She thought that the child's mother was downbeat with the situation, the father showed his concern and also asked both for the press to be alerted and for dogs to be brought in for the search. Concerning the others, she can only recall that Fiona and her husband, Payne, were hysterical about the situation. At a given moment, right after the PJ's elements arrived, the child's parents removed the twins from the cots where they still slept, and took them into the apartment on the first floor. At Kate's request, the deponent removed the soft toys and a blanket from the cots, and also took them to the first floor. The babies' cots were left only with the mattresses.
The deponent also wishes to mention that at around 3 a.m. Madeleine's parents asked for the presence of a priest on location. They didn't explain the reason why they wanted a priest, but the deponent found the fact strange as there were no indications that the little girl was dead, and that's the circumstance under which usually the presence of a priest is requested.
At a given moment, the deponent translated the deposition from one of the ladies that belonged to the group of English people, namely one that she indicates as being a brunette. This lady told the GNR officers, and the deponent translated, that she had seen a man crossing the road, possibly carrying a child. The deponent found that situation strange because she was convinced that when she saw this man, the lady was positioned in a spot that has no viewing angle to the location where she had seen the man. She doesn't know exactly where the lady was positioned when she saw the man passing by, but she knows that she indicated that she saw him passing on the street that lies in front of the window to the bedroom where Madeleine was, walking into the direction of the street that leads to the Baptista supermarket.
When questioned about the clothes that the English group members wore that night, she mentions that she only remembers that Fiona wore a green blouse, Gerry wore a dark coloured shirt, and Fiona's husband wore light-coloured trousers, she thinks cream-coloured.
And she stated nothing further.

You may know Sancho Panza as the proto-sidekick and voice of reason in Don Quixote, but did you know that El Sancho also has a curious tie to clean cooking?
That's right, amigos. El Sancho is not only a fixture of Western literature, but a restaurant! The first restaurant in the nation to install a clean cookstove from InStove, that is. The owners became familiar with InStove during a music festival a few years ago, and turned to InStove when they decided to put down roots in a permanent location.
"It's kind of our backbone," Barvels said. "Without that thing, we just couldn't do it"

YES! We do provide our cross bottles at wholesale to qualified distributors around the country. If you're interested in carrying our bottles in your store, or purchasing large quantities, you can find more information under the wholesale tab, here.
3. Are there other shipping methods?
YES! However, we choose to ship all of our products via Insured USPS Priority Mail unless otherwise requested by the customer.
4. Where do you find your bottles?
We hand source all of our materials, including our antique and vintage bottles. There are various places where we collect these treasures to be used as the base for our handmade crystal artwork, pewter rosary crosses, and sealife collections to include digging them by hand ourselves.
5. Can I make custom order requests?
Sure! We want you to LOVE your purchase, and for it to fit perfectly in your home! If you have a request for a particular bottle shape, color, or size you can email us, and we will do our best to find something that fits your desires, or to create what you envision. We can also attach our artwork to any bottle you currently own. To discuss this option you can email us about custom orders. Custom work is typically no more expensive than purchasing bottles from the site.
6. Do the crosses come off of the bottle?
I'm sorry, but no. Our crosses forever seal their bottle base. You are buying one complete piece of art, a mix of the rough and discarded with the elegant and refined. If you're looking for something removable, drop us a line about custom orders.
7. How do you get the metal to be that color?
It's our little secret! Mercerized Rust is a signature patina that we created at Cross Bottle Guy to separate our work from other work you may see online and in stores. We feel that this unique color best fits the antiquity of our raw materials.
8. I've seen other bottles on the web, are you selling on other sites?
NO! Cross Bottle Guy bottles are sold on crossbottleguy.blogspot.com only, and at various retailers across the United States. If you see other pieces like ours on the world wide web, they are crafted by different artists not affiliated with Cross Bottle Guy.
9. How many artists create Cross Bottle Guy cross bottles?
One! All of the bottles sold on the Cross Bottle Guy website are made by Artie Vanderpool. However, we couldn't bring these bottles to you without the help of a few very talented hands who help with maintenance of the website, packaging, and sourcing the perfect raw materials for Artie's handmade beauties.
10. Are all of your bottles one of a kind? Could I order two that are exactly the same?
YES! All of the Cross Bottle Guy cross bottles are one-of-a-kind. While you can not order two bottles that are exactly the same, you can made a custom order request for bottles that are as similar as possible. Because we work with antique and vintage products, we can not promise that this will be possible, however. Our hope is that you'd be able to appreciate the unique differences of each piece of handmade art.
11. I love the backgrounds for your photos. Can I buy something from this display?
Most definitely! If you're interested in one or more elements from our photography display behind the cross bottles, shoot us an email describing the item, and we will get back to you with a price for purchase and shipping.
12. Where do you get you crystals? Are they glass or acrylic?
Our crystals are hand-sourced from various places, and are all vintage or antique, repurposed from large chandeliers. Each crystal is glass, or leaded glass. We never use acrylic or plastics in our art.
13. How do I clean my bottle?
Your bottle will arrive to your home, clean and ready for display. Should you need to clean the piece, any glass cleaner will be sufficient. Remember that you are cleaning a very delicate piece of art, so please do so gently.
14. Do you ever make other pieces that are not on bottles?
YES! Cross Bottle Guy also offers pieces attached to antique and vintage silver-plated pieces. These are available through custom order, or by chance on our website.

I am using Outlook 2013 for my email. Till nine days ago it was working fine but now it isn't. I called Spectrum several times about the problem and the technical team told me that the software experts are aware of the problem. This morning (10/6) the popup box that was appearing on my screen was gone. A big improvement, but I still can't delete emails I don't want and I can't send new emails. Everything is working on the Spectrum email program; the Outlook program, however, is still not working. Is there any change in the settings that might correct the situation? Can anyone give me some suggestions? I am using Windows 10 as my operating system.
Having same issue with no resolution - anyone have any new ideas?
Three thoughts, AKA Shots in the dark; You could try deleting your account in Outlook and recreating it . and /or you could go into windows 10 or earlier and create a new mail profile and finally what I did after those ineffective rain dances is open an account with another provider such as Gmail or outlook.com then go to into outlook and create an account (I went with Outlook.com to keep everything in one house) with that new server and delete the rr.com account in outlook. Finally go to rr.com web mail site and have all incoming email forwarded to the new server account. Poof all my trouble gone away. FYI, you can drag and drop emails and folders from one account to another in Outlook before you delete the rr.com account otherwise thy are gone once you delete the account.
Hope this is not just more noise
Maybe you could give me a few suggestion on how to solve my problem. If I can, I'd like to keep my Outlook program. I has served me well for several years. Here's what happened as of ten days ago:
1. A popup kept appearing on the right side of my Outlook screen where I read my mail. This problem vanished two days ago.
2. I cannot send an email. If I try to send one it goes to my Outbox where I can't delete it.
3. When I try to delete any email I don't want, I get a short ring and this message - "The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted." I wonder what that's all about.
Here's my specific question: If I go to the Account Settings under the Change tab I see the following:
Account Type: IMAP
Incoming mail server: mail.twc.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.twc.com
Should I change that mail.twc.com after the Outgoing mail server?
Anyway, give me some of your ideas. I wish I could push a button that would take my Outlook 2013 back to its previous state.
incoming and outgoing mail server addresses
I would encourage you to view this page
Outlook normally has an option, If i recall correctly, to remove from server through the
advanced settings. I would take a look there.
Hope that helps.

Sorry for late reply Tommy, I have been away for a while and have moved off the Spectrum server for email so dont check this forum frequently any more, I would echo Julia's comments in that you double check, although I am sure you have, your account setup settings. Cant remember what they should be for IMAP as I am on an exchange server with another email provider as noted in previous post. Given that the settings are correct maybe consider, first go to web site for your email and ensure all your folders are there. Then I would go to Outlook 2013 accounts and delete the account and reinstall it. The folders should propagate back down to Outlook 2016. I am on Outlook 2016 Professional Plus but the methodology should be the same. Only other off the wall thing that comes to mind is to do a System Restore to Windows OS version that is a couple of weeks old as maybe there was a courpion but that is a shot in the dark Other than that and the earlier post recomendation to move to another email provider, I am out of ideas.
Having the same problem, started the same time (9/26/2017). Initially tech support told me they would solve it, still no solution (I'm using the clunky webmail to survive).
The answers I've gotten lately from tech support have been inconsistent, Julia, you need to give us a real answer, not just a meaningless response.

The album captures both the bustling energy of the city and the meditative seaside of Thailand. History develops without words - a singular mixture of Musique Concrète, Blues, Jazz, and Ethno Worldmusic."

James O'Connor's second-half equaliser denied Newcastle victory in a 2-2 draw and spared managerless Sheffield Wednesday the indignity of a club-record sixth successive Coca-Cola Championship home defeat.
Luke Varney opened the scoring to put Wednesday ahead in the 14th minute but Kevin Nolan and Shola Ameobi hit back in quick succession to put the Magpies 2-1 up.
Yet Wednesday refused to surrender and were rewarded in the 59th minute when O'Connor fired home from six yards to earn his side a precious point in their battle against the drop.
The Owls have now gone 10 Championship games without a victory, but they at least stopped the rot on home soil to leave Newcastle frustrated.
This was the Magpies 10th game without defeat since losing at Scunthorpe on October 20 but the hosts worked hard for a deserved point.
Wednesday caretaker boss Sean McAuley - placed in temporary charge following the sacking of Brian Laws - made three changes from the side that lost to Swansea last time out.
That meant the Owls lined up in a 4-3-3 formation with Frank Simek, Tom Soares and Varney replacing Lewis Buxton, Sean McAllister and Leon Clarke respectively in the starting line-up.
Magpies boss Chris Hughton was forced into one change from the side which beat Middlesbrough last weekend with skipper Nicky Butt replacing Alan Smith.
Wednesday sought to put their recent troubles behind them inside the opening minute when former Liverpool midfielder Darren Potter smashed a fierce shot goalwards from 20 yards out.
Butt made a typically brave block to avert the danger but the Owls continued to probe and fashioned a decent opening a minute later.
Highly-rated full-back Tommy Spurr flighted a dangerous cross into the heart of the visitors' penalty box but Jose Enrique cleared the ball for a corner which Wednesday could not make pay.
It came as no surprise when Varney opened the scoring for Wednesday in the 14th minute with a fine header from O'Connor's right-wing cross.
Yet Newcastle showed their pedigree by hitting back with two goals in four minutes to forge ahead by the midway point in the first half.
In the 19th minute, Danny Guthrie spotted Nolan making tracks inside the home penalty box and he flighted in a cross from the right which the former Bolton captain dispatched with a firm header for his 11th goal of the season.
The goal lifted Newcastle and they struck again three minutes later when Jonas Gutierrez played an intelligent pass into Ameobi from the left flank and the homegrown striker rifled home a clinical right-foot shot from 18 yards.
Butt then warmed Owls goalkeeper Lee Grant's hands with a long-range strike as Newcastle sought to claim a killer third before half-time.
The closest Wednesday came to a first-half equaliser was Jermaine Johnson's shot which flashed wide in the 42nd minute.
Three minutes after the restart, Wednesday sought an equaliser when Steven Taylor was forced into a fine block to deny Varney from close range.
Johnson then fired wide for the Owls but their pressure told shortly before the hour mark when Varney headed a high ball into O'Connor's path and he rifled home a clinical right-foot drive from six yards.
Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper was left appealing in vain for a foul in the build-up.
Harper then did superbly well to parry Marcus Tudgay's header and Grant did likewise to deny Ameobi.
Both sides continued to push hard for a winning goal but it never came as the points were shared.

The folks at Woolzies had perfect timing when they asked A Green Routine to review and give away their product. One weekend I was in a store looking at a box of a plastic dryer balls wondering if they worked and, even if they did, were they the most eco-friendly option? The product went back on the shelf. A few days later, we got an email from Woolzies asking us to test their eco-friendly wool dryer balls and give a set away to one lucky reader. We jumped at the chance and have been testing the product for two months.
First, we'll tell you about the product. Then, we'll let you know how to enter to win a free box of Woolzies dryer balls!
They're balls of 100% New Zealand wool that go in the dryer with your clothes. Woolizes are primarily marketed as an all-natural fabric softener, but they also cut down on drying time and reduce static. They're hypoallergenic and even safe for people with wool sensitivities as they will not shed onto your laundry, according to the company.
Chemicals used in conventional dryer sheets emit toxins into the air and onto your clothes which can then be absorbed through your skin. Woolzies are made of wool so they are chemical-free.
A bunch of Woolzies bouncing around your dryer will also separate clothes, allowing air to flow more freely. This reduces drying time, which saves energy and money. The company says the product can reduce drying time up to 25%.
Woolizes last for 1,000 loads before they need to be replaced.
I've been using Woolzies instead of natural dryer sheets for about two months and, yes, they do work. My clothes dry faster (at least 15% faster according to my non-scientific calculations) and they come out of the dryer static-free. I'll give Woolzies points for softness too. I never used a fabric softener but my sheets and towels have felt softer since I started using them.
While we were given this set of Woolzies to test and review, we would never recommend a product we wouldn't buy ourselves. So the big question is, would I buy Woolzies with money out of my own pocket? I can still get more than 900 loads of laundry out of my current set, but if I had to choose today to buy another set of the natural dryer sheets I was using or Woolzies, I would choose Woolzies. They perform three helpful tasks – reducing dry time, reducing static, softening fabric – in one product and the per load cost is the same as the product I had been using.
Plus, Woolzies are completely handmade by women in Nepal who receive a steady source of income from making the product. It's nice to know they're employing people who can use the income instead of machines. Eli Feuer, the president of Soft By Nature, the company that makes Woolzies, informed me via email that company is working toward a fair trade certification as well. A fair trade certification would recognize the company's commitment to producing the product in an environmentally and socially responsible way.
Enter to win a box of Woolzies using the application below. To be eligible to win you must like Woolzies on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. All of the other options are just that, optional, but you'll get extra points for each one and increase your chance of winning. Good luck!
UPDATE 9/3/13: Congratulations to our winner Rod J. and thank you to everyone who entered. If you'd like your own set of Woolzie's, you can buy them on Amazon.

Winning two first-place and two third-place ribbons in horticulture and honey competitions at the New Mexico State Fair on Sept. 11 is a major triumph for Zuni High School horticulture students and their science teacher, William Becker, especially because this is the horticulture project's first year.
The students' state fair entries included produce from the horticulture class's "waffle gardens," a traditional Zuni method of garden construction consisting of a series of parallel, square or rectangular depressions dug into the ground, creating a waffle-like pattern that maximizes use of water. At the fair, the produce is displayed in student-made traditional Zuni pottery pieces. The students also entered honey collected from the class's two beehives.
Becker's horticulture class is part of a larger collaborative effort involving New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service, the New Mexico Department of Education-Rural Education Division, two other schools - Twin Buttes High School and Zuni Middle School - and the larger Zuni community.
"A major goal of the Traditional Zuni Agriculture Revitalization Project is to stimulate the local Zuni economy by working through the Zuni public schools to re-introduce traditional Zuni agricultural practices, which have been declining in use since the early 1900s," explained Michael Patrick, an Extension Service community resource and economic development specialist, credited with bringing together the project's many partners.
Lee Watts, Extension agent with the Zuni Reservation Extension office, is hopeful that getting kids involved in their agricultural heritage will eventually help increase the number of Zuni adults engaged in agriculture, which has declined from 30 percent a century ago to only 1.5 percent today.
"This project is not only an economic development tool," Watts said. "It is also helping tie Zuni youth back to their cultural heritage by actively engaging them in horticulture and other ag-related classes, where they learn about traditional farming practices more than a thousand years old. Using traditional Zuni farming practices, the students are actually going out and building waffle gardens and planting fruit orchards, in many cases using native seeds handed down through generations of Zuni farmers."
The project also envisions marketing traditionally grown Zuni produce, fruits, poultry and honey to generate income for the community.
Another goal is to make locally grown traditional Zuni fruits and vegetables readily available again in the community. As consumption of these traditional foods has declined among the Zuni in the last few decades, diet-related conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease have increased, Patrick said.
In spring 2009, the project received $10,000 from a special state legislative appropriation designated for rural revitalization and $1,000 from the New Mexico State Parks Outdoor Education Program, said James Holloway, Public Education Department assistant secretary, Rural Education Division, who was instrumental in getting the funds allocated for the traditional Zuni agriculture revitalization project.
"This project is connected to the New Mexico Rural Revitalization Initiative, a larger effort we have in 27 school districts that are engaged in some type of improvement activities that we call 'revitalization,' and we work closely with NMSU Extension, and Dr. Michael Patrick in particular, on these projects," Holloway explained.
"The projects do three things: revitalize interest in school-community partnerships, help instill pride and citizenship among students who get to give back to their communities, and they provide entrepreneurial activities that students might be able to make a living with some day," he said.
"Each community decides what they want to do. We felt the Zuni traditional ag project met the Rural Revitalization Initiative's requirements," he said.
"And they are getting the parents involved. Here you have an opportunity for kids and adults in a community to work together to bring back cultural practices that have been gone for a hundred years," Holloway explained.
"You've got agriculture, you've got Zuni history, you've got all those skills taught in the classroom, and they all come together in those little garden plots in the ground, in the waffle gardens at the schools in Zuni.
"We just felt that if we could help those kids, that would be a good thing," he said.
And on Wednesday, a grateful Becker, with a contingent of his Zuni High School horticulture class students, traveled to Santa Fe to personally thank Holloway and the Rural Education Division for their financial support and for the help provided by Brenda Lyle-Gray, Rural Education Bureau education administrator, who works closely with students in the Zuni schools on this and other projects.
As a gesture of their gratitude, the students presented Holloway and his staff with produce from the horticulture class waffle gardens, arranged in student-made, traditional Zuni pottery pieces, along with jars of honey collected from the class beehives.
"Going to Santa Fe to thank Dr. Holloway and his department was really important for us to do. It was a great experience," said Samantha Tsatie, Zuni High School horticulture student.
At the state fair, the class won first place for their comb honey entry and their green onion entry. They won third place for their junior garden display and for their filtered honey entry.
"I think the entire community of Zuni will be proud of what our students have achieved," Becker said. "Winning at the state fair in our first year demonstrates that we can put out a quality product, not just any product. We'll be back next year and will be entering in more categories."
Becker plans for the horticulture course to be completely self-funding with revenue from the class's beehives, which, with the addition of more hives in the coming year, are expected to bring in as much as $5,000 a year.
The Zuni High School horticulture class state fair entries can be seen in the agricultural products entry section of the Agriculture Building at the New Mexico State Fair through Sept. 27.

Director, Medical Student Education
While going through the courses, clerkship and selectives in psychiatric medicine, the students will master a universally held public health concept that includes patients, physicians, and the community. This concept plays a central role in the prevention, incidence, prevalence, manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of illness. With the knowledge gained in psychiatry the students will be able to interact most effectively with their patients.

Visit Appleton Farms – Stop by for a visit to the farm!
Appleton Farms in Hamilton and Ipswich is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the United States. Established in 1638 by a land grant to Samuel Appleton, it is the oldest working farm in Massachusetts, and at 1,000 acres, one of the largest. Perhaps more importantly, the farm preserves a bucolic, pastoral landscape, agricultural traditions, and historic farm buildings that are rapidly disappearing in the eastern part of the state.
Vegetable CSA
To connect people with the rich history of farming at Appleton, a vegetable Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program was established in 2002. Vegetable CSA members buy a share of the produce grown each season and share in the risks and rewards of farming, taking home a rich bounty of fresh produce, flowers and other farm products each week during the summer and fall. The 100 shares available in the first year sold out in two weeks. Today, we grow 600 shares. We are currently sold out and accepting new members on our waitlist only. We invite you to use the links to the right to join the waitlist and learn more about Appleton Farms and our vegetable Community Supported Agriculture program.
Meat CSA
Launched in 2016, the Trustees meat CSA runs from fall to spring and offers sustainably-raised, grass-fed and pastured meats from Trustees farms. CSA shares include beef, pork, chicken, and lamb, as well as an add-on option for eggs. The meat CSA is being offered for the first time at Appleton during the 2017/2018 season, and shares are still available. For more information and to sign-up, please visit: www.thetrustees.org/meatcsa.
