Visit the pre-Incan ruins of Tiahuanaco.
Little is known about the Tiahuanaco people who constructed the great ceremonial centre on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca over 1000 years ago. Spend most of the day visiting these mysterious ruins—a cradle of Incan civilization—before returning to La Paz.
Travel by bus through the altiplano, crossing the border to the Peruvian city of Puno, on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
Peru is made up of three main geographical areas: the Andes, the Amazon, and the desert coastal area.
Enjoy spectacular views of the countryside on a full day of travel from La Paz, around Lake Titicaca, and on to Puno.
Enjoy a guided tour of Lake Titicaca with a homestay in a small village.
Head out by boat across Lake Titicaca. Visit the community on the Taquile Islands and stop at a restaurant and enjoy a local lunch with spectacular views.
After, cruise to the another village (this can vary based on community availability) for an overnight homestay on the shores of the lake. This experience provides an opportunity to learn more about rural life in the Peruvian highlands and to participate in local traditions. Eat with the family, pick up some Quecha and Spanish language skills, try on traditional costumes, and help out with daily chores around the village.
Visit the floating islands of Uros before returning to Puno. Opt to visit the Sillustani burial site.
Leave the homestay families late in the morning and visit the Uros Islands on the way back to Puno. A popular optional activity in Puno is a visit to the spectacular chullpas (funerary towers) of Sillustani, a pre-Inca archaeological site only a short drive away.
Opt to pre-book the Lake Titicaca Kayaking on the checkout page to include this optional activity on your tour or ask your GCO or travel agent for assistance.
Hop on the bus for a full day's drive to Cusco.
The bus trip from Puno to Cusco takes the better part of the day, with stark, beautiful scenery en route as you travel through the high Altiplano region. Check out a bit of Cusco, find a spot for dinner, or get prepared to head into the Sacred Valley.
Enjoy a free day to explore the city's museums and local markets. Choose to pre-book the optional Cusco Cooking Class. Opt for a city tour to see some of the ruins as well.
While most ruins are just outside of the city, the main ruin within is that of the Coricancha, once the Inca Empire's richest temple. It forms the base of the colonial church of Santo Domingo. There are several good museums in Cusco, including the Archaeological Museum, which also houses a small art museum, the Regional History Museum, and the Religious Art Museum.
Opt to visit and hike the famed Rainbow Mountain, pre-book on the checkout page to include this optional activity on your tour or ask your GCO or travel agent for assistance.
Enjoy a full-day guided tour of the Sacred Valley. Stop at the G Adventures-supported women's weaving co-op before visiting a local pottery making community.

Or, wander around the cobblestone streets and visit a local Chicheria (corn beer bar).
Travel through the stunning Sacred Valley of the Incas, visiting a G Adventures-supported women's weaving co-op. Meet the women and learn about traditional weaving and dyeing. Opt to pick up some handmade souvenirs and textiles directly from the women who made them.
Have lunch at the G Adventures-supported Parwa Community Restaurant. Learn about the G Adventures for Good project and eat a delicious buffet-style lunch. Proceeds of this meal go directly back to the remote community.
Depart Ollantaytambo by van to km 82 where the Inca Trail begins. Ease into the adventure with a straightforward day of hiking the meandering streams, stunning Andean scenery, and ancient Incan ruins.
Trek through beautiful scenery, with a variety of flora that changes with the seasons, passing several smaller ruin sites like Llactapata.
Start early to climb the long steep path to Warmiwañusca, better known as Dead Woman's Pass. This is the highest point of the trek at 4,198m (13,769 ft). Most hikers reach camp by early afternoon, with ample time to rest and relax.
Cross two more passes and ruins on today's trek. The first pass is Runquraqay at 3,950m (13,113 ft) where, on a clear day, hikers can catch a glimpse of the snow-capped Cordillera Vilcabamba. Hike through the cloud forest on a gentle climb to the second pass of the day, walking through original Incan constructions. The highest point of the pass is 3,700m (12,136 ft).

Parlour: Get Papiss Cisse to replace Van Persie
Ray Parlour has told Arsenal to cash in on Robin van Persie, insisting Newcastle's Papiss Cisse would soon have Gunners fans forgetting about the Dutch striker.
Van Persie announced on Wednesday his intention to leave Arsenal, revealing he will not sign an extension to his contract, which has 12 months to run. The Netherlands international explained that he did not share the club's vision for the future, making him a potentially disruptive figure if he stays at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal must decide whether to retain Van Persie's services for one more year, or sell him for a cut-price bid, with Juventus already testing the waters with an £8 million approach.
Parlour insists Arsene Wenger should sell quickly in order to avoid last summer's scenario, when Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri left late in the window.
"What Arsenal have got to do now is try and get the best bidder," Parlour told talkSPORT. "£25 million or £30 million, get as much money as you can and then reinvest the money in the squad.
"The most important thing for Arsenal fans is to reinvest that money in the club. Not just put it in the bank like they did with Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
"Let's go out and make a key signing like Papiss Cisse from Newcastle and suddenly people will forget about Robin van Persie."
Van Persie is tipped to join Manchester City, who will reportedly offer £200,000 per week for a player who was named PFA Footballer of the Year last season.

Whole flounder with ratatouille
A whole fish, cooked and served as is, is very normal in France. I love eating fish whole, as you don't waste anything — the skin is delicious. Flounder is a great fish — an abundant, sustainable species, they require no preparation (no scaling or gutting) and one fish is the perfect portion-size per person.
- Heat oven to 200C.
- Place each flounder on a large rectangle of tinfoil. Squeeze over lemon juice, drizzle with a little olive oil or dot with butter, and sprinkle over a pinch of thyme leaves.
- Fold tinfoil up to completely cover the fish and form tight packages. Bake for 15 minutes until fish is just cooked.
- To make the ratatouille, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and saute garlic and onion until soft.
- Add eggplant and remaining olive oil and continue to cook a further 5 minutes until eggplant is coated in olive oil and cooked through.
- Add tomatoes, capsicum, courgettes, vinegar, the remaining thyme and a splash of water. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss with basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve one whole fish per plate/person, topped with the ratatouille.

Cash donations flood in, but where they will go is uncertain
Millions of dollars have poured into Newtown in the days since the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, a deluge of support that now raises questions over where the money will go and when.
More than a dozen local groups have sought donations, some with specific goals such as building a playground and others with more general missions to help the community or victims' families.
With emotions raw and no single agency overseeing the multiple charity efforts, the potential for fraud and fighting hang over a massive undertaking grounded in compassion and concern.
No one is tracking all the contributions, but some of the biggest local groups have raised at least $5 million combined, according to interviews and online records.
"Whoever's receiving the money has to try to gauge donor intent and try to, if possible, implement what the donor requested. It's not always easy," said Kenneth Feinberg, a Washington, D.C., attorney, who has overseen payouts after some of the nation's worst tragedies, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Virginia Tech rampage and the Aurora movie theater shooting.
The United Way of Western Connecticut, partnering with Newtown Savings Bank, has overseen the largest fundraising campaign, with the backing of the governor's office and the school board. As of Wednesday, the well-known nonprofit had raised more than $3.5 million for its Sandy Hook School Support Fund, with checks arriving from as far away as Russia.
A committee plans to meet over the next week or two to appoint a board that ultimately will decide how to distribute the money, said Kim Morgan, chief executive officer of United Way of Western Connecticut.
"I can't say what it will be used for. I can't say what it won't be used for," Morgan said. "But I do have trust that they will determine what's needed most for their community."
More InformationAvoid scammers The Connecticut Better Business Bureau offers tips for avoiding charity scams following the tragedy. Do your homework. You can research a charity at the BBB's www.give.org. Choose a well-known charity or one that has been endorsed by local or state authorities. Beware of website links that may steal your personal information or download harmful malware on your computer. Confirm text message codes with the charity.
The board may form an umbrella agency to try to unite the various fundraising efforts, Morgan said. She added that the United Way is waiving its usual administrative fees.
Many questions remain: Will the victims' families receive unrestricted checks? If not, will the charity cover specific bills such as house payments and counseling fees? Will first responders be included? What about the school's surviving educators and other staff? How much, if any, will go toward a memorial or the school system?
Earlier this week, Drew Glass, in town from Brooklyn, tried to give $20 to a chaplain stationed at the main Sandy Hook memorial. She directed him to take the money to a local bank accepting donations.
Glass, 33, said he did not care where his money went, as long as it did something for someone in Newtown who needed help or comfort.
"We need to take care of each other, provide for each other," he said.
Feinberg, dubbed the "pay czar" for his work dispensing donations after tragedies, said that in those cases checks went directly to victims' families.
In Aurora, where a gunman killed 12 people and injured dozens in late July, controversy arose early on. Several families criticized how a private foundation was handling some $5 million in donations, so the Colorado governor called in Feinberg to serve as an unpaid mediator. Families of the deceased received about 80 percent of the money, roughly $200,000 each, and the remaining funds went to the injured.
"People are victims of a horrible tragedy. It is perfectly understandable that people are upset and frustrated," Feinberg said.
He suggested that the donation groups meet publicly and privately with the affected families to seek their advice and then distribute the money quickly.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office already has talked to Feinberg for advice.
"When it comes to financial contributions, the governor believes the Newtown community will be best served by a locally driven and transparent process for deciding how best to receive and allocate those funds," spokeswoman Juliet Manalan said in a statement.
Several fundraising groups were launched after the Dec. 14 tragedy that left 20 Sandy Hook students and six educators dead, prompting the Connecticut attorney general's office to send out a warning about potential scammers. On Thursday, a 37-year-old New York woman was arrested on federal charges, accused of running a fundraising scam, claiming to be a victim's relative.
"Some very well-meaning charities pop up after disasters," said Howard Schwartz, spokesman for the Connecticut Better Business Bureau. "The problem is sometimes they don't have the resources to get them exactly where they want to go. People should be thinking about that before they give money."
Across Newtown, groups have been selling wristbands and T-shirts to raise money, while one offered cupcakes for cash, collecting funds in a plastic container outside a grocery store.
Some efforts include:
Robert Morris, a Bridgeport attorney whose law firm, Pullman & Comley, is providing free services to the My Sandy Hook Family Fund, said group leaders met with the state's commissioner of consumer protection to ensure it was set up properly. The organization of Sandy Hook parents and others has raised about $800,000, and the money will go to the 26 victims' families, if they need it, said Morris.
The University of Connecticut Foundation has raised roughly $500,000 toward a permanent scholarship fund to benefit siblings or dependents of those killed as well as for current Sandy Hook students.
Newtown has two Sandy Hook donation pools -- one for schools, police, memorials and other public uses, and one for individuals and scholarships. Victims' families have set up their own funds as well.
The Angels of Sandy Hook Elementary, a group started by 20-somethings, already has paid for a victim's family to board their dogs during the boy's out-of-town funeral, said co-founder Taylor Ansbro.
"We understand that there are a lot of funds out there and by no means do we want to compete against any others," said Ansbro, 21, a student at the University of Connecticut. "We just felt compelled to do this."
Reporter Dug Begley contributed to this report.

VANCOUVER — 21 Jump Street is known as the TV series that made Johnny Depp a star. But it was just as important to the people behind the scenes.
In tandem with shows like Wiseguy and MacGyver, Jump Street put Vancouver on the map as a film production centre in the late 1980s. All sorts of people got their start on the series, from actors to directors to various crew.
Producer John Smith joined the show in its fifth and final season, after Depp had already left. But the contacts he made on Jump Street played a key role in a long and successful career.
"I'm told I've produced more hours of television than anybody else in Canada," says Smith, 65, who worked on TV shows such as Stargate, Poltergeist and Sanctuary.
"But I don't know ... I never really worried about stuff like that. The projects were fun, I got a lot of laughs out of it."
Smith recently retired, but with a 21 Jump Street movie about to be unleashed on the masses Friday, he spoke to The Sun about at his role in the Jump Street saga.
Smith got his start in the film business on The Beachcombers, way back in 1971.
"My dad owned Molly's Reach, [but] my dad didn't want to have anything to do with [the series]," recalls Smith.
"He said 'If you want to look after it, go ahead.' So I rented them the building [which was a café in the series]. Phil Keatley was the executive that put Beachcombers together, and liked the boats I had down at the dock there. So they said 'Would you rent the boats and be our technical adviser?'
"It was only supposed to last for eight half-hour episodes, and it went on for 19 years."
The film biz was very small in the 1970s ("there was probably one and a half crews in Vancouver"), and Smith wound up being the go-to guy for anything to do with boats and film.
Eventually this led MGM to offer him a job as a production manager on a remake of the '60s series Sea Hunt. This led to a job on Unsub, a series by the maverick American producer Stephen J. Cannell. Unsub sounds like another nautical deal, but it was about an FBI forensic team that dealt with grisly murders.
"Unsub was a very high-end, violent series, it was probably 10 years before its time," says Smith, who is listed as N. John Smith (for Norman) on the imdb site, to avoid confusion with other John Smiths, including the Canadian director John N. Smith.
Unsub's volence led its cancellation in 1989, even though it had excellent ratings. A year later, Smith was brought in for another Cannell production, 21 Jump Street.
"I got along real well with Steve Cannell, and Steve Sassen, who was running the Cannell outfit in Vancouver," he says.
"Jump Street had been going on for four years.
"They wanted to syndicate the show, so I said I would take it to the fifth year."
A lot of his job was figuring out how to cut costs.
"At one time [the show cost] $1.8 million an episode, and the last year, when they lost Depp, they wanted to take the show down, get it done more economically," he relates.
"The budget for year four was $1.65 million [per episode] and we took it down to $1.1 million in the fifth year."
The television and film business was a very different beast in 1990.
Much of 21 Jump Street was filmed at the old Wood Vallance Leggatt warehouse in the 500-block Carrall Street, just south of the Sam Kee building (popularly known as the thinnest building in the world).
"We had the 21 Jump Street Chapel right in that [Wood Vallance] building," he says.
"There was [also] a jail set in there. The neat part about it was we could schedule half a day in the Jump Street Chapel, but then go out to all those gritty alleys that were right there in Gastown.
"In those days, Thursday/Friday night you worked to daylight the next morning. There were cop shows all night in gritty alleys and stuff. My crew had beer bottles thrown at them out of windows in alleys for years, doing all those cop shows downtown. We did Commish downtown, Street Justice, all these gritty cop shows right by the Carrall Street studio."
The Carrall Street studio had a fire and was demolished, but 21 Jump Street had already moved out to a building that had been a large laundromat in Burnaby.
"We built a whole exterior alley in that building so we didn't have to shoot outside at night in the alleys," he notes. "Because we got really tired of the drunks down there, at two o'clock in the morning they're throwing beer bottles at you out the window. So I thought what the hell, we'll build a whole alley in the sound stage, and we did.
"And it was fabulous. You could take cars in there — you couldn't do car chases, but you could do pullups and shootouts and stuff like that. We had it so we could spray water in there, because it always looked good to have it raining."
Cannell had built North Shore Studios by then, which Smith used for 21 Jump Street's school scenes.
"At one time, they used to go to schools and rent classrooms," he says. "So we took a stage and built a couple of hallways on the stage and just kept changing the hallways to make them look different.
"Ian Thomas was the production designer. We called it 21 hallways, because we'd turn it around, paint it a different colour, put different steps in [and shoot it]."
He loved working for Cannell, a legendary Los Angeles producer who created TV shows like The Rockford Files, The A-Team and Baretta. Looking to save money, Cannell started filming in Vancouver, and the local film industry took off.
"Steve Cannell loved Vancouver," says Smith.
"If he wanted to come up, he'd catch a plane out of L.A. at seven in the morning and be in Vancouver for a meeting at the studio at 10:30. Catch a five o'clock flight, and be home that night.
"Same time zone, and the dollar was good in those days. You were working basically at a 62 cents exchange, so they could bring a million eight [American] up to Canada and get three and a half-million dollars worth of production value out of it."
The two main writers on the final season of 21 Jump Street were Ann Donahue and Jonathan Glassner, who both went on to become major players in Hollywood.
Donahue co-founded the CSI franchise, which Glassner has worked on as a director. Glassner was also one of the writers and producers of Stargate, and recruited Smith to come over to the series. Smith wound up working on the various incarnations of Stargate for 14 years.
"Well, Stargate was just a shoo-in [for success]," he says.
"It was an interesting show, and they put the money into it, we had a relatively good budget. And Richard Dean Anderson's a good actor, he had a large following.
"It holds the record for the longest running sci-fi show. We beat X-Files I think by eight episodes, then we went on to the spinoff. [With] the original series and the spinoff, I was doing 42 hours [of TV] a year, which was a real challenge."
How did they manage to shoot two TV series at the same time? By building a lot of infrastructure.
"When Stargate came they had a two-year order for it," he says.
"Some series you only get a six-hour order. "So we built about a million dollars worth of sets, and we amortized those sets over [two years of shows]."
Stargate kept on adding infrastructure, to the point where it had an unheard-of nine sound stages.
"There is not another television series in North America that had nine sound stages," he states. "One of those being the Effects stage, the biggest sound stage in North America."
This is no idle boast: the Effects stage at Bridge Studios is 40,000 square feet, double the size of most film sound stages.
When Stargate finally wound down, Smith decided it was time to return to the Sunshine Coast, where he had built a waterfront house.
He isn't completely retired, though: he's pitched a couple of documentary ideas to the CBC. And in case you were wondering, he still owns Molly's Reach, which is on property that his family has owned since 1925.
"My dad passed away a few years ago," he says. "I told him I'd keep the property in the family for at least a hundred years, so I've got a few years to go yet."

Today I have a really quick tip...I love acrylic paints! I use them for tons of projects, lately painting chipboard is my favorite. I have collected quite a few colors and so I thought I'd share my cute storage solution with you! I found an antique soda bottle crate at an antique store many years ago and it is just perfect for holding my paints!
I thought about mounting it on the wall but it is sooooooo heavy that I decided it was better to simply lean it up against my wall.
I just love to use items in ways other than their intended use, especially antiques. So if you have any fun storage tips, I'd LOVE to hear them!
Happy Scrapping,

Tuesday's Tips & Techniques: Paper Bag Albums
I am all about saving my pennies these days and here is one fabulous way to do it. Head to your pantry and pull out three paper lunch sacks.
Lay them on top of one another with the middle bag going the opposite way of the first and last.
Adhere your bags together however you like. I have used staples, brads, eyelets and stitching but I don't really have a preference for one way over another. It just depends on the look I am going for.
This is the quickest way: staples
My daughter makes bazillions of these albums. It is a great kid project! Easy and CHEAP!
In the top example I used eyelets so I could tie on some ribbons. The eyelets give the bag the necessary stability to resist the dreaded tear.
I also like to stitch the bags together. I begin by actually measuring {gasp} and drawing myself a little guideline:
Then, I clip the edges together so they don't slide on me while I sew
Finally, off to the machine:
Ready for embellishing!
Once your album is assembled, you can begin adding some pretty papers. I used the 3 Bugs in a Rug Simple Pleasures line for this album. I adore this line of papers and embellishments that I got in a My Creative Scrapbook months ago.
I like to cover the flaps with different paper than the main bag section but that is just personal preference. My daughter likes to cover the entire page with one paper, making it "more like a book than a flappy album." Her words;)
Sometimes I even leave some of the paper sack exposed
And I also love to add some pockets to hold items like handmade tags. This is a very interactive album.
With the paper sacks, you also get these nifty "built-in" pockets for storing tags, journal blocks, pull-out pages...the ideas go on and on. I have found it is best to glue down one side of the flaps. Otherwise when sliding things it and out...well, let's just say I've met with a bit of frustration and who needs any more of that, right?
I use my pockets to store extra pages that I made for the album. I made good use of my beloved border punches to jazz up the exposed edges.
***For these type of pull-outs, double sided paper is a must.
On this page, I used a scalloped circle punch to chomp out half a circle to give me a nice grippy spot with which to pull out this slide-out page since I didn't give it a fancy edge. I did pop a circle sticker on the spot where I will pull it, for durability and cuteness...
See the other side of the circle sticker?
And finally, the back of the album. This is where I plan to journal an "About this Family" blurb.
Happy Scrapping!

Tuesday's Tips & Techniques: A Ribbon Skirt
I have been long struggling with ribbon storage. It multiplies so much faster than I can contain it. I have my beaded trims in jars and that works great for them. I have my ric rack in jars; again, works great for that. But my ribbons...I need to see them to use them so imagine my delight when I ran across an idea for storing them on a dress form in Creating Keepsakes. I grabbed my Hobby Lobby coupon and ran out the door to get a gorgeous little iron dress form I had been admiring but wouldn't buy since I didn't "need" it. Well, now I needed it!
Creating the "skirt" only took a few minutes. The ribbons are simply folded in half
and the loop is pulled around one of the bars
Then the ribbon tails are pulled through the loop
To take a piece of ribbon off the form, I just grab it by the loop and pull. Easy peasy and super cute in my scraproom.
I already had another wall-mounted dress form that holds flowers and packaged ribbons so this new one fits in just perfectly!

Sketches galore!
It's reveal day over at Let's Scrap and this is my layout for the week. This is one of my favorite sketches from Cheri!
The scoop on my layout...
My favorite part of the fair is the Little Farmer's section. The kids get to go through all the motions of being a farmer; from gathering grain, planting, harvesting and getting paid. At the end they get to use the "money" they earn to buy an ice cream or a chocolate milk. So fun!
Oh and there is a FAKE cow to milk! And rides too, of course. Papers are Bo Bunny, and the giant scallops are created with a deep punch from Martha.
There is also a new challenge posted at Scrap-a-Little. This month is a sketch challenge based on this fun sketch by Helen:
You have until the last day of the month to link your layout!
And finally, my take on Julie Bonner's sketch {last month} at Magpie:
This is made with brand new Prima papers and flowers. I punched around the edge with the CUTEST Martha heart edge punch. You guessed it, got it on sale after V-day!

Tuesday's Tips & Techniques: Tissue Paper Flowers
Tissue paper flowers are super easy to make and super nice to the budget too! I started by using my scalloped circle Spellbinders to cut out a variety of sizes of circles. However, these flowers look FANTASTIC when the circles are cut by hand and not perfectly in a circle, kwim?!?
Yes, I did emboss some of my circles here. I was just playing with a new embossing folder.
Next, I sprayed my papers with a bit of Glimmer Mist. I do this for a couple reasons...it give a nice bit of added color and thus depth to the finished flower AND it helps to mold them into shape.
This is the fun part! Mold them into shape by squishing them into little balls. Yes, really! Once they have dried a bit {you don't have to wait until they are totally dry} flatten them out enough so that you can layer them on top of each other. Be careful with damp tissue paper, it rips easily.
I like to staple mine in the middle, it's quick and easy and doesn't show in the end anyway. Then scrunch them into a flower shape. This is where you can decide how full you want your flowers.
I use a bit more Glimmer Mist at the end. This really sets the shape. If you don't have Glimmer Mist or don't want to use it, I bet water works just as well!!!
Happy Creating!

July Coronation Curia
Curia July Coronation July 22, 2007 Meeting began at 9:00 TRM Tiernan and Miranda welcomed the officers to Curia and HRM Miranda thanked them for caring so much, and for making the long trip to Farragut State Park. Seneschale - Viscountess Nadezhda had very little to report; except that all if going well. Exchequer - Master Pyotr reporting. Kingdom is healthy, and reporting is coming in. Black Lion Herald - Lady Gwenlian Catharne reporting - The herald's staff should be picking up two of the tabards previously ordered. Lady Gwenlian stated that the Herald's staff had received an email from another Kingdom requesting permission to give as a token something that resembles a goutte. The email will be forwarded to Their Majesties. Earl Marshal - Sir Danial d'Antioch reporting. Master Duncan was unable to be present to step down at the end of his 4 year term of service; Sir Daniel begins his term as Earl Marshal. He states that in his first 24 hours there were no problems! The re-write of the ABC's is on track and Sir Daniel stated that it appears that combat archer rules will also be going through a re-write. He would like to fold Archery Combat rules into the heavy armored combat rules; since any changes affect both participants. Sir Daniel stated that fighter's authorizations would be going to 4 year authorizations. Duke Sven has expressed an interest in the position of Armored Combat Deputy. Chronicler - see written report below: Kingdom Chronicler's ReportJuly Coronation, A.S. XLII 1.Contact Information: Master Arontius of Bygelswade (MKA Michael Aaron Rogers); 470 Bridle View Place NW; Bremerton, WA 98311-8917; 360-307-0526; email@example.com a.Many thanks to Her Excellency Brighid Ross for taking care of this report for me. I apologize most sincerely for not being in attendance. 2.Principality Reports: a.The Summits - Reports up-to-date from Elspeth of Wyre Forest. b.Avacal - Lady Al Sayidah Umm Bishr Fatima Amatallah Bint Dirar Al-Qurttibiyah a.k.a. Lady Catherine Belle Forget de Lourdes. Reports are up-to-date. c.Tir Righ - The Principality Chronicler, THL Meredith of the White Cliffs, produces the Principality newsletter, 'The Northern Sentinal'. Tir Righ has twelve identified Chroniclers. The Principality branches produce seven paper newsletters and six electronic newsletters. Reports are currently up-to-date. 3.Central An Tir: The Kingdom Chronicler's Reporting Deputy, THL Angharad Albannes, states that there are eighteen identified Chroniclers producing sixteen newsletters. Eleven are paper only, three are paper and electronic and two are online only. 4.Financial report complete for First Quarter of 2007 Calendar Year. Society stipend for the First Quarter has been received. Second Quarter in process and should be complete prior to end of July. 5.A statement has appeared in two issues of The Crier requesting applicants for the Office of Kingdom Chronicler. Several people expressed an interest but only one has officially applied, THL Angharad Albannes, my current Contingency Deputy. I would very much like to see her take my position at September Crown if it pleases Your Majesties. She is very capable and already has quite a bit of experience working in the office. The change-over would be seamless. 6.Reporting Deputy has increased communications amongst the Chroniclers of An Tir. Most felt very isolated, with no clear sense of what was expected of them. As the Reporting process becomes more constant and streamlined, we will increase dialogue between Kingdom, Principality and branch to see what can be done to bolster the recording of activity and history in the Kingdom's branches. 7.There is a steady increase in the number of publications that can be found only online (on a web-site, in .pdf format, or via e-mail). The number of hard copy newsletters continues to drop. Society is still working towards an all electronic format, but acknowledges that this will not happen very soon nor will it be a complete and total switch for some time to come. 8.Third issue of The Crier's 'A&S' Issue is in the works. The editor, THL Rycheza, is working at pulling in submissions on a face-to-face basis with individuals throughout the Kingdom. The goal is to have the next issue out sometime this Fall. 9.Working on obtaining materials from Grete Boke. Plan is to have this up and running before end of summer. 10.Stock Clerk is still in the works as well. Still working on details on how this should work or whether it is an office that is actually still needed. Master Pyotr stated that Corporate is now strongly recommending the each Kingdom Chronicler's Office have a financial deputy warranted by through the Exchequer's office; he says it is not mandatory at this point but probably will be soon. Viscountess Nadezhda stated her confidence in HL Angharad and inquired of Their Majesties if HL Angharad was an acceptable candidate to replace Master Arontius; they agreed and the change-over will happen at September Crown. Minister of Arts and Sciences - see written report below: Here follows my Curia report for July Coronation; Reporting: Based on the responses from last quarter, it looks like things are getting back on track in this regard. All principalities reported and only a few branches did not report. I will resume my calling of these branches next reporting cycle. Deputies: I've taken on Mistress Gwen the Potter as my warranting deputy and she is attempting to re-create the warranting roster for this office. She's made remarkable progress and I think she will probably have the project mostly done by September Crown or Twelfth Night, at which time we need to present it in any case. My contingency deputy, Mistress Ellen Fraser will be taking on the Guild Deputy position so that we can get that section of reporting back on track as well. Currently, some guilds are under the impression that they do not need to report at all. I'd like to chat with Yourselves about putting guilds on probation or revoking guild status if I continue to meet resistance in this regard. Events: Kingdom Bardic Competition is rolling along. One thing that very slightly concerns me is that I've not seen much in the way of advertising for the event. So I plan on contacting the autocrat and asking if she needs assistance in this department. Known World Dance Symposium appeared to go well; I've heard nothing but good things about it. Next up for this office is Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship. Additionally, I was contacted this week by the Autocrat of September Crown to see if my office had any requirements for that event and I think we will try to organize another Hands-On/Agora for that event. I plan on replying to her and working with the A&S officers in that area to set that up. Lastly, I would like to request of Your Majesties/Highnesses/Excellency that we review the status of Lesser Kingdom Officer for my Bardic Deputy. Ostensibly, a Lesser Kingdom Officer is subject to the same two-year requirements as a Greater Officer but I inherited my Bardic Deputy and I know that office has not changed over in many years. I don't believe that it merits Lesser Kingdom status as it basically runs only one event a year while the bulk of the rest of the office falls on the KMOAS and other deputy shoulders. There is no Lesser status for any of my other deputies, including the Championship deputy, under whose purview Bardic Deputy often falls. Additionally, my Bardic Deputy is in the process of finding a replacement so I believe this would be a good time to revamp that status. Thus ends my report. I remain, in service to An Tir, Marquessa Laurellen de Brandevin Chatalaine - No report. Viscountess Nadezhda commented on the find job HL Eric has been doing reaching out to the local Chatalaines. Constable - Master Ian reports - The outlines of the new handbook are being worked on; and he has been in contact with the branches as to how to handle things in the interim. HRM Miranda asked if there was a timeline for the new handbook. Master Ian replied that it should be completed by September Crown. Chirugeon - Krystene of Blatha an Oir reporting. HL Mir would like to step down at September Crown. Written report follows: Kingdom of An Tir Chirurgeon Report July Coronation 2007 1.

Reported significant injuries (significant to the BoD, e.g. deaths, severe injuries, involve minors--also send incident report copy): none 9.Activities of note—collegiums, training sessions, advancements, etc.: none 10. Concerns or issues in the Kingdom that you want to bring forward: The previous drop in roster due to compliance levels on acknowledgement of new post-P35 handbook is still there, but numbers are climbing slowly. One Chirurgeon who had difficulty with social interactions has left the chirurgeonate and is unhappy about it, sending emails around. The impact of this on morale is not major, as far as I have heard. 11. Good news and commendations (feel free to brag!!): Patricia McAndrew, a former Mentor Chirurgeon who moved to Alaska is now rewarranted as an MC in the An Tir chirurgeonate as she "plays" with her home shire of Midhaven annually and has no branch to participate with up there in Juneau. HL Zachariah le Bigod led a team to complete some much-needed repairs on the kingdom's chirurgeon pavilion, which is why it was not raised at May Crown. We hope to get at least a couple more years out of it before we come asking for a replacement! Sable-Sable : No report at Curia Kingdom Events - HL Anneka reporting HL Anneka spoke about the need for monthly reporting for all Kingdom Event Autocrats. This reporting is mandatory. Bids are being accepted for Kingdom Arts and Sciences, May Crown, and July Coronation. Fall Crown Council has been awarded to the Barony of Stromgard. Knowne World Dance Symposium - HL Tayla reports -The event was well attended with participants from all over the Known Worlde. The numbers should be in within the next 30 days. An Tir West War - HL Anneka reporting - It was held at a large private site, with over 1,000 people in attendance, and the site could probably hold double that amount. The final report should be in by the end of the month. The Autocrats have heard very positive responses about the event. Sir Daniel stated that he had spoken with some of the fighters from the West and they would like to see the two Kingdoms come up with a permanent site for the War. The fighters did seem to like this site. Countess Elizabeth offered that infrastructure support from both Kingdoms is crucial; many of the important support tasks, such as water bearing and heralding need to be shared. Viscountess Nadezhda stated that there is a plan being investigated to have the two Kingdoms work on the War every year July Coronation - Sir Jorg reporting- There were approx 573 people on sie, and their seems to be a lot of carpooling for this event. Also the one casualty of the event was a radio that was dropped into a biffie. HRM Miranda thanked the Autocrat team and declared them a "gem to work with." September Crown - Baron Kane reporting- Things are going well. The water issue on site has been solved. A problem has arisen with the county and road permits, but even if the road into the site is not paved there will be fresh gravel on the road for the event. There are scheduling issues that he will discuss with Their Majesties. Kingdom Bardic - No report- HL Anneka states that she has received reports and that the event will be a two day event, with two sites. Fall Crown Council - has just been awarded to Stromgard 12th Night - Viscountess Bernadette reporting - The contract with the hotel is ready to sign and the hotel is willing to email copies to Vis. Nadezhda and HL Anneka for their approval. This will happen this week. Pre-registration for the event should be ready by the end of this month. The host hotel is already ¾ full. Rooms have already been set aside for the Royals. All Kingdom officers please contact the autocrat team to let them know if you need help with your discipline, or if you want the local officer to handle it. Activities are being requested and the possibilities of these are being investigated. The hotel is smallish for the event, and some creative solutions are being planned. There is a possibility of a fighting opportunity at the event, this is still in the planning stage. Meeting ended at 9:35 AM

Appropriate Portion Sizes for Low- to Medium-Glycemic Dishes
Choosing recipes that are low to medium glycemic and lower in fat and calories is a great way to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. However, eating the appropriate portion sizes is also crucial when you cook glycemic index–based recipes; eating larger amounts of carbohydrates can raise the glycemic load of that recipe and increase the calorie level. Use the following estimates to help you serve the right amounts of your delicious lower-glycemic dishes:
A 3-ounce portion of poultry, beef, fish, or pork is equivalent to the size of a deck of cards.
A 1-ounce portion of cheese is the size of a domino.
A medium fruit is the size of a tennis ball.
A cup of vegetables is the size of a baseball.
Half a cup of grains is about the size of the palm of your hand (unless you have gigantic hands!).

The inaugural ASPRS UAS Conference was held October 20-22 in Reno, Nevada, bringing together a diverse group of technologists, pilots, surveyors, vendors and consultants to talk about this emerging technology. 500 attendees and 50 exhibitors were in attendance.
Master of Ceremonies, Lewis Graham of GeoCue, opened with his comments on the importance of miniaturization, connectivity and sensors in the UAS market.
"Miniaturization and connectivity and sensors. Sensors will communicate in intelligent ways, software in background to make that happen," said Graham. In addition, "Sense and avoid" type of technology/ software makes decisions based on proximity of the aerial system."
The confluence of miniaturization, guidance and control systems, motors, sensors, on the photogrammetry side, new technologies out of robotic vision, taking point clouds of photos and taking information from this all conspire to bring UAS to the forefront and make it a force to be reckoned with.

* Pink and Green Mama's Gratitude Giveway #3: Kiwi Craft Crate
Let's kick off the holidays with another giveaway!
My lovely friends at Kiwi Crate sent us
this fun little craft kit to play with and try out.
"C" (age 4) loved it, it's a perfect mess free craft kit for toddlers and preschoolers.
Everything you need comes inside the kit, even these scissors
(which are awesome and now "C"s favorite pair)
We got the Colors Crate to explore.
First up was playing with colors on two different spinning tops.
The papers were precut so we just colored them in
and you can make different designs on both sides so you get
twice as many tops to play with.
Each craft comes with these cute little instructions and tips.
Very cute graphics and very user friendly!
"C" adding finishing touches to her tops before we gave them a whirl!
They sent multiple, prepunched circles of paper
to fit onto each of the two spinning tops.
She made designs on both sides!
Spinning the top!
Look at how the colors blend together -- weeee!
Then, she wanted to make the "stained glass" window that came with the kit.
We stuck the pieces of pre-cut contact paper to the pre-cut matte board frame.
Then, "C" stuck tissue paper to the contact paper's sticky surface.
Checking her work to see how the colors look in the sunlight.
Then, she played with it on our light table.
They also sent us these cool pieces of colored plastic so we could blend colors!
Trying the stained glass with the included "blue" glasses
to see if the colors change.
Then, it was time to play with bleeding tissue paper.
"C" had never played with this stuff before and I guess
I hadn't either. We laid out the included white mini tote bag on a cookie sheet
and used the include eye dropper to apply water to the tissue paper.
We let it dry on the bag and it made a pretty tie-dyed rainbow!
All in all this was a GREAT kit.
"C" is the perfect age for it and I think any kid ages 3-5 would love it.
It was very mom-friendly too.
There was minimal set up (and clean up) involved!
These would make great birthday gifts for classmates and friends.
Want a chance to win your own free kit to play with at home?
from Kiwi Crate (go check out their website),
they have several cute ones on their website.

Returning to October a difficult task
The task of rebuilding a World Series winner has been an elusive one for more than a dozen years, with not a single successful defense and only one champion returning to the Fall Classic the following season since 2001.
As the Red Sox approach that project this offseason, they're not the only ones trying to find that formula that takes a championship club one year and makes it as good or better the next.
The task of rebuilding a World Series winner has been an elusive one for more than a dozen years, with not a single successful defense and only one champion returning to the Fall Classic the following season since 2001.
As the Red Sox approach that project this offseason, they're not the only ones trying to find that formula that takes a championship club one year and makes it as good or better the next.
Any team that made the postseason this year obviously wants to do it again, so really there are 10 clubs seeking that perfect balance between what worked in 2013 and what will work in '14.
With the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., on the horizon next week, here's a look at the teams that made it to the October party last year and how they're going about trying to get back in 2014:
Red Sox: With Jacoby Ellsbury donning pinstripes, Jarrod Saltalamacchia gone to Miami and Mike Napoli being courted, the defending World Series champions will have some different pieces. Veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski was their first offensive addition, and the Sox remain on the lookout for at least one more big bat, perhaps a corner outfielder like veteran Carlos Beltran to allow Shane Victorino to shift back to center field.
They might also bring young Jackie Bradley Jr. into the fold, and there could be a multiyear reunion with Napoli and/or a return of shortstop Stephen Drew. But particularly with Ellsbury gone, the Red Sox have some maneuvering to do.
Boston began bolstering its bullpen by agreeing on Thursday to a two-year deal with right-hander Edward Mujica, who closed for the National League champion Cardinals for much of last season before fading down the stretch.
Cardinals: Getting a jump on the Winter Meetings, the Cardinals already signed free agent Jhonny Peralta to play second base, shifting breakout hitting star Matt Carpenter to third. That's where David Freese used to reside, but he was traded to the Angels for center fielder Peter Bourjos, filling another need. And that might be all she wrote for the defending National League champs, who are solid through their young and talented pitching staff and a deep lineup.
Tigers: These cats from Detroit have made a lot of noise this offseason already, breaking out a blockbuster by bringing in second baseman Ian Kinsler in a trade for Prince Fielder, adding veteran closer Joe Nathan to plug what has been a hole in their postseason runs the last two years and dealing away starter Doug Fister for prospects. But the Tigers still head to the Winter Meetings knowing they still have a need for a big left-handed bat now that Fielder is gone.
Dodgers: No other team has been as active or has spent as much as the Dodgers over the last 18 months. So what do you get for the team that already went out and got everything? The Dodgers will head to the Meetings looking for bullpen help -- though they did finalize a deal to bring back Brian Wilson on Thursday -- and needing to shore up their infield, where second base and third base are still question marks. They also have a four-man outfield, which means longtime Dodgers Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp might be made available.
A's: With a flurry of activity this week, the A's haven't left a lot on their to-do list for Florida. They addressed the back end of their bullpen, acquiring closer Jim Johnson from the Orioles and setup man Luke Gregerson from the Padres. They also signed veteran pitcher Scott Kazmir, and flipped talented Michael Choice for versatile outfielder Craig Gentry for the fourth-outfield spot. That pretty much does it for the two-time defending AL West champs, but 2013 Executive of the Year Billy Beane and his staff will continue to monitor how they might improve for '14.
Rays: After acquiring Wil Myers in a swap last year that kept them in contention this year, the drums of a David Price trade have been beating for weeks and only figure to become louder at the Meetings. While gauging what kind of package they can gain for Price, they Rays will likely look for a first baseman to replace free agent James Loney. They've already brought in veterans in catcher Ryan Hanigan and reliever Heath Bell.
Pirates: After reaching the postseason for the first time since 1992, what will the Bucs do for an encore? They head to the Meetings looking for a first baseman and perhaps a right fielder, the latter likely a placeholder for Gregory Polanco, their next prized prospect on the cusp.
Braves: With two key veterans gone -- starter Tim Hudson to the Giants and catcher Brian McCann to the Yankees -- the Braves aren't expected to make anywhere the noise they did a year ago in bringing the Upton brothers into the fold. They are seeking a veteran for the rotation and might gauge the market for second baseman Dan Uggla, but the Braves have arbitration issues to deal with internally as well.
Indians: No recruiting showcases are expected this year like the Tribe put on last year for Nick Swisher. The Indians made their moves last winter count with a Wild Card berth in the fall, and they head into this offseason looking for a veteran for the middle of the rotation and some bullpen help, shopping for value in those markets.
Reds: With Shin-Soo Choo and Hanigan already out the door, the rumors began flying that second baseman Brandon Phillips might be next. Reds GM Walt Jocketty talked to Phillips this week and said, "At this point, we really haven't had any talks with clubs about him." The Reds, now under the guidance of rookie manager Bryan Price, still have a strong core of talent, so there isn't a whole lot else they need to do heading into 2014.
Getting back to October isn't easy, so all these teams have their work cut out for them. Only the 2009 Phillies returned to the World Series since the Yankees' 1998-2000 appearances, and the longest current streak of postseasons is at a mere three, shared by the Tigers and Cardinals.
For any of the 2013 postseason teams, another bite at the delicious fall apple is the foremost consideration as the wheeling and dealing hits its winter peak next week.

Another opponent faced, another victory in the books. Kinston�s boys basketball team is going to the regional finals yet again.
FAYETTEVILLE � Another opponent faced, another victory in the books. Kinston�s boys basketball team is going to the regional finals yet again.
Brandon Ingram scored 17 points to lead a balanced Kinston attack and the Vikings ran past Bunn, 63-44, in the 2A Eastern Regional semifinals at the Crown Arena on Thursday.
Josh Dawson added 14 points and was three rebounds and an assist shy of a triple-double while Jeremy Taylor scored 12 to put the Vikings (26-2) into the regional championship for the seventh straight year.
They will face Fairmont, which rallied past Jacksonville Northside late, at 4 p.m. here on Saturday.
�We�re just so versatile. You don�t know who�s going to have a big night,� said senior Denzel Keyes, who had nine points and 11 rebounds.
�If we play together (good things happen).�
Deadlocked at 11 after the first quarter, Kinston used a 13-2 run to separate itself from a Bunn team that lived � and died � around the perimeter.
The Wildcats (23-7) got a game-high 24 points from junior guard DeShawn High � on four 3-pointers � and hit five 3s in the game�s first 12 minutes to keep it close.
But Kinston�s speed and defense were just too much.
The Vikings scored 13 of the next 15 points � six by Dawson and five from Ingram � to take a lead that never dipped below double digits again.
�Gosh, they�re a really terrific team. They can hurt you from so many spots,� said Bunn coach Gerald Melton, whose team started out hot but cooled off considerably after intermission. �We�ve been a good team all year getting back on defense but they�re just so fast and that led to a lot of easy points for them. But we played hard, and I love these kids because they played so hard and wanted it so bad.�
Bunn did its best to keep it close early, hitting three 3s in the opening quarter � two by High. But the Vikings settled down on both end of the floor and outscored the Wildcats 38-21 over the next two quarters.
Kinston led by as many as 22 after Dawson grabbed a defensive rebound at the rim, let the other nine on the floor sprint back, then took it the full length of the court for the score. On Kinston�s next possession he found Taylor for the assist and a 22-point lead.
�I�ve got great teammates. The wings, the post we have. I mean, they�re great. We started off on defense. Coach always says that defense is going to win games,� Dawson said. �We play �D� as a whole. When we get stops we can get out and run our game and slow them down.
�When we play as a team we�re hard to be beat.�
Officially, Kinston outrebounded the Wildcats 35-18, shot 51 percent for the night while holding them to 37.2 and forced 11 turnovers while only committing eight itself.
Those numbers are the secret to Kinston�s success � only it�s not a secret.
�I�m really proud of these guys. They listened and did exactly what we wanted them to do,� Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. �We�re very, very excited to move on to Saturday.
�This time of the year, you advance, (and) you�re going to play another good team. So I�m really, really proud of these guys. We�ll find out who we�re playing in a little while, get back to work tomorrow and be back here on Saturday with a chance to move on.�

Bunn 11 13 9 11�44
Kinston 11 22 16 14�63
WILDCATS (23-7) � DeShawn High 24, T. Perry 6, Batchelor 6, J. Perry 3, Sanders 3, Johnson 2, Alston, Lucas, Finley, Dean.
VIKINGS (26-2) � Brandon Ingram 17, Josh Dawson 14, Jeremy Taylor 12, Keyes 9, Ham 3, Lopez 3, Hart 2, Dunn 2, Canady 1, Joyner, White, Jones, Williams.
FAIRMONT 65, JACKSONVILLE NORTHSIDE 62: The Golden Tornadoes' frantic rally in the fourth quarter propelled them to Saturday's 2A regional championship.
Fairmont (25-5) trailed by 16 heading into the final period but scored the game's final 19 points, including Kwinton Hinson's 3-pointer as time expired.
The Monarchs (25-4), which led 57-41 with 8 minutes to play, were outscored 24-5 in the final period after they outscored Fairmont 21-8 in the second quarter.
Northside led 37-19 at the break.
Jamal Parker scored 23 points to lead the Monarchs while teammate Josh Cabrera added 15 points and eight rebounds and Kris Curry 10 points and nine rebounds.
Hinson led the Tornadoes with 17 points on 7 of 13 shooting. Teammate Shemar Barfield added 15 points.

Destructive Update
Update of base values
Values can be updated with the (:=) operator, which copies its second argument over its first.
main () = do x = 2 putStrLn $ show x -- prints '2' x := 3 putStrLn $ show x -- prints '3'
Update of algebraic data
The structure of algebraic data can be modified with the (#=) operator. This replaces the constructor at a particular node with a new one.
We'll use a simple point type as an example. In this definition, x and y are field names and are local to the Point type. This is different from Haskell, where all field names become functions in the top level scope.
data Point = Point { x :: Float; y :: Float; }
We'll also define an instance of the Show type-class, so we can print out the result.
instance Show Point where show (Point x y) = parens (show x % "," % show y)
Values of Point type are constructed in the standard way, and we can use the field names to access their components.
main () = do point = Point 2.0 3.0 -- construct a new point putStrLn $ show point -- prints '(2.0, 3.0)' putStrLn $ show point.x -- prints '2.0'
Projecting the x field gives us the Float object inside point.
oldX = point.x putStrLn $ show oldX -- prints '2.0'
Binding a literal value allocates a new object.
newX = 5.0
We can now make point reference this new object.
point#x #= newX putStrLn $ show point -- prints '(5.0, 3.0)' putStrLn $ show oldX -- oldX is still '2.0'
Reference projections
In Disciple, we don't need to change our data definitions to include Ref or IORef types before we can update them. References are created on the fly with the reference projection operator (#).
In the previous example, when we used (#) a reference was created which held a pointer into the point object.
(point # x) :: Ref Float
The (#=) operator is just a regular function which has type:
(#=) :: forall a. Ref a -> a -> ()
When we then evaluated:
point#x #= newX
The pointer inside point which used to reference oldX was updated to reference to newX.
For comparison, the Disciple expression:
point # x
Is similar to the C expression:
&(point . x)
This takes a pointer to the x field in the point structure.
