Location description from manager
The England region
Vellandreath Valley is a beautiful private estate by the beach situated within West Penwith (the Land End peninsula) which is the southernmost area of England, and the most picturesque part of Cornwall. It is rich in dramatic beaches, wooded valleys, moorland, rolling farm land, and hidden coves; much of it is designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and warmed by south westerly breezes from the Azores, cold weather is rare. The sea is crystal clear, jade green, and a comfortable swimming temperature into late autumn. There are dozens of beaches on the Lands End peninsula, and they are amongst the most unpolluted in Europe.
The Post Office is opposite the Costcutter Villages store and is situate on the A30 Lands End Road, Sennen just 1 mile away. Sennen Cove Stores are located in Sennen Cove opposite the Lifeboat House. Fish and chips are available both in Sennen and Sennen Cove (1 mile) Sennen's Farmers market is held every Tuesday morning at Sennen school, just half a mile away. Sample the delights of (very) local farm produce and a spectacular array of arts and crafts. Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons are situated on the A30 in Penzance 8 miles away. Further Shopping is also available here. If you dont feel like cooking then why not let someone else do it for you? Sample the delights of the Atlantic Ocean and Westcountry Farms prepared by some of the great restaurants, bistro's and pubs in the area. The Beach Restaurant is a must and just a short inspiring walk across the dunes or beach. Offering specials, a main menu, BBQs, Pizza, beverages & Cocktails this Restaurant really is right on The Beach. The Old Success is Sennen Coves local. Here you'll good pub food with outside seating offering great views across the bay enjoying a situation just meters from the sea. Surrounded by fantastic coastal countryside just a few miles down the road The Gurnards Head is a venue to head for to achieve quality dining. Alternatively pop in for a pint ! The Meadowy is a medieval themed family restaurant has been the kids favourite for years. Funny thing is, once they've grown up they keep coming back ! Performance and Arts: Local Art can be found at The Round House gallery. Walking: This is superb walking country. Breathtaking views, eye watering sunsets and more flora and fauna than you can shake a walking stick at. Vellandreath Valley is the perfect starting point for any stroll, walk, ramble or hike. Venture south and one can walk over the beach or dunes, into Sennen cove, on to Lands End, Logans Rock and the South Coast beyond. Head north and one finds Gwenver Beach, Ayr Point leading to Cape Cornwall, on to Guarnards Head and as far as the Badlands if you're brave enough. Of course you can always head inland and explore the moorland, woods, nearby ancient settlements and prehistoric relics. Always be prepared: with sensible clothing and footwear a must, water and mobile phone a given and a bar of chocolate a treat. An ordinance survey map may come in handy too if you're on a serious mission. Golf: Cape Cornwall's superbly located golf course is just 6 miles away. Walking the Cape Cornwall golf course you could easily be forgiven for thinking that it was one of the oldest golf courses in England. Yet it was only designed in 1990 by Bob Hamilton, who also designed courses in Scotland and Singapore. It is a truly natural course, ranging over both farmland and cliff tops and presents the golfer with a mix of challenging holes, and stunning views. Challenging is indeed the most often used word when golfers return, especially on windy days! Without doubt Cape Cornwall should be on every golfers lifetime itinerary. Once ticked-off you'll want to come back again and again. A par 69 challenge, cliff tops, undulating fairways, dry-stone walls - known locally as Cornish hedges - and even ancient mine-shafts to negotiate! The course is open and playable 364 days a year. Fishing: Whether you're a serious sports fisherman, competent angler, seaweed catcher or crab hunter there are a wealth of spots and options to choose from...Right in front of Vellandreath Valley you can try your luck beach casting for Bass or Mullet. To the South the breakwater at Sennen Cove serves up Pollack, mackerel and the odd conga eel. To the north hike to Arys point and enjoy the fruits of the open ocean. Of course if you are in possession of a hardy sea kayak and (and handle yourself in the open ocean) the with the right kit, the possibilities are endless. Boat trips are available from Penzance whether its a family mackerel fishing trip or a deep sea wreck expedition for the big stuff. Just because the Atlantic Ocean is 200 meters away doesn't mean you can go course fishing. There are plenty of perfect places you can settle down, cast a fly or wait a while to watch your float sink. Whatever you choose, bring your catch back to your Cornish Cottage in Vellandreath Valley and cook it up on your complimentary Barbecue. Surfing: Here at Vellandreath Valley we have one of natures best playgrounds right on our doorsteps: the beach. Of course where there's a beach there's the the sea and in our case we have the Atlantic Ocean brushed by the warmth of the Gulf Stream. Sennens Whitesands Bay is a Blue Flag beach and is well known for its quality surf, rich in surf history and folk lore. The conditions vary according to time and tide but waves can be found for all abilities whether novice, intermediate or expert. Dont worry, if surfing is not for you then one can always take advantage of the sheltered end of the bay and swim between the lifeguards red and yellow bathing flags when the waves are up. Children have an absolute ball in the surf and the local surf schools offer great coaching to get them up and riding the rollers though of course just frolicking in the waves and body boarding will be excitement enough for some. If youve already got the surfing bug then this is the perfect place for you. If youve yet to try surfing then, in our opinion, theres no better place to start… If you fancy a change from the beach life or the kids get itchy feet why not have a day out at one of the many attractions in the area. Whether is its mining heritage, delightful gardens, museums or theme parks theres something for everyone…
Other activities that can enjoyed by your own arrangement are cycling, yoga, rock climbing and much, much more !

It was one of those moments when Brian felt as if baseball was close enough for him to reach out and touch. Like his hands were around the handle of a bat. Or like he was on the mound, his fingers making sure the seams of the ball felt just right.
One of those moments when he could close his eyes and imagine he was a big-leaguer himself.
One of those moments, really, when he realized why his dad loved the game the way he did. Loved it too much, according to his mom.
Loved it more than anything or anybody.
Bottom of the ninth inning at Comerica Park, the Tigers having just scored to tie the game, Willie Vazquez, their short-stop, standing on third and representing the winning run.
One out.
And now came the fun part for Brian Dudley, not just because the Tigers had this kind of shot at a walk-off win, but because Brian got to think right along with Davey Schofield, the Tigers' manager, who was perched on the top step of the dugout near the bat rack, on the home side, the third-base side, of Comerica. This was when baseball felt like the great¬est reality show in the world.
Willie, the fastest guy on the team and one of the fastest in the American League, was on third because the Tigers' third baseman, Matt Holmes, had just singled him there, bringing home the tying run with the same swing of the bat.
Curtis Keller, the Tigers' center fielder, was at the plate. Curtis could fly, too. And he had some major pop in his bat for a little guy—a good thing, because now all his team needed was a fly ball deep enough to score Willie to win it. The scary part? For all of Curtis' talent, and his ability to hit the ball hard from the right side against any kind of pitching, lefty or righty, he struck out a lot.
Willie Vazquez liked to joke that Curtis Keller's strike zone had its own area code. "Sometimes Curtis swings and misses when I'm at the plate."
If Curtis were to strike out here, then the Tigers would have two outs, the winning run still on third, a sacrifice fly no longer a possibility. And that would leave things up to Mike Parilli, the Tigers' catcher, who was working on a seriously ugly 0-for-4 day.
So what would Davey do?
Brian knew all the stats on Curtis, inside and out, the way he knew the stats on all the Tigers players. Not because anybody had made him learn them. Not because it was some kind of course at school. Brian knew stats because he wanted to know. Because his head was full of the numbers of baseball, all the numbers that not only held the sport together, but connected one season to another, one era to another. Kenny Griffin, Brian's best bud, liked to say that if you could ever crack Brian's head open like a walnut, decimal points would come spilling out.
Now, sitting here at Comerica, feeling like he had the best seat in the house, Brian tried to put those numbers to use the way he knew Davey Schofield would.
They should squeeze, Brian decided.
All Tigers fans knew how much Davey liked to play "small ball," liked to bunt and move runners and steal bases, especially because this year's Tigers didn't have the kind of home-run power they'd had in the past. The only problem with playing small ball right now—and it was a big problem, actually—was that Brian knew that even he was a better bunter than Curtis Keller.
More than two months into the season Curtis still didn't have a single sacrifice bunt, even though he'd been batting number two in the order pretty much since Opening Day. He'd tried a few times. Six times to be exact, Brian knew, and he'd failed to advance the runner each time. Twice he'd even managed to strike out, which wasn't easy when you were bunting.
Yet Brian was sure the bunt was still the right play, especially against the Indians' big right-handed closer, Rafael Fuentes.
Because the other stat bouncing around inside Brian's head like a pinball was that Curtis had never gotten a hit off Rafael Fuentes, was 0-for-14 lifetime. And Mike Parilli, kneeling there in the on-deck circle? He was 1-for-20 against the guy.
If Curtis didn't get the run home, and get it right now, they were as good as in extra innings already. "Lay one down," Brian said out loud, almost like he couldn't help himself.
From where he sat he had a perfect view of Davey going through all his signals. Those signals went to the Tigers' third-base coach, Nate Vinton, who then flashed them to Curtis. Willie didn't need the middleman; he was staring into the dugout at Davey the same as Nate was. More baseball stuff that Brian loved, the play having this kind of drama even before Rafael Fuentes delivered the ball to the plate.
Brian was never bored by any of it, whether he was at the ballpark or watching on television. He realized he wasn't just thinking along with Davey, he was thinking along with the Indians' manager at the same time as he brought his corner infielders in and left his shortstop and second baseman in their regular spots, knowing a ground-ball double play would get them out of the inning, provided they could double up a speed guy like Curtis.
It was the first midweek afternoon game since school had let out, and for Brian, this felt like the real start of summer, no matter what the calendar said. Summer was something you could hear and feel all around you at Comerica, filled with all this noise and all these possibilities and all this baseball. Yeah, this was summer. Curtis got into the batter's box. Rafael Fuentes was ready to pitch. This close to the field, Fuentes, at 6 foot 4 and 245 pounds, looked as big to Brian as Shaquille O'Neal. Fuentes liked to pitch from the stretch and was doing so now, eyeballing Willie Vazquez as he juked around off third base. One more drama, Brian knew, this one between pitcher and base runner.
Fuentes stood there so long, as if frozen, that Curtis stepped out of the batter's box and went through his whole routine of getting ready again—loosening and refastening his batting gloves, then taking a practice swing. Brian knew that some people hated all the starts and stops of baseball, all the breaks in the action. Not Brian Dudley. He wasn't ever going to be somebody who came to the ballpark and as soon as he got there acted as if he had somewhere else to be.
When he was at the ballpark, Brian was always where he wanted to be. Sometimes he felt more at home at Comerica than he did at his own home.
Curtis dug back in. Fuentes began his pitching motion, checked quickly one more time on Willie, then blew strike one right past Curtis, high heat, pure cheese, Curtis swinging right through it. The pitch measured 97 mph on the huge scoreboard towering over left field at Comerica.
Lay one down, Brian thought again.
The first and third basemen were still in at the corners, had to be, just to make sure. But they had seen Curtis swing from his heels the way everybody in the ballpark had, like he was trying to hit one all the way to Canada.
Fuentes' right arm came forward again. Another fastball. But Curtis Keller had dropped the head of the bat.
Not the kind of bunt they taught you in Little League, where you squared for a straight sacrifice and practically made an announcement to the infielders that you were bunting. No, this was the way you bunted, even with the third baseman charging in, when you were bunting for a base hit, when you deadened the ball and came racing out of the batter's box like a sprinter in track coming out of the blocks.
Curtis actually laid down a beauty, the ball dying like a toy car that had run out of batteries as Willie Vazquez, coming the other way, blew right past it.
Gus Howell, the Indians' third baseman, made a great play on the ball, flung it sidearm, nearly underhanded, toward home plate. If the runner had been a slow one, the throw might have had a chance. But it was Willie who slid across home plate with the winning run and then bounced right up, clapping his hands, yelling, "Yeah! Yeah, baby!"
You had to be close to the field to hear him because all around, from every corner of the ballpark, came the happy roar of Comerica, the sound baseball made when your team won.
The Indians were already walking off the field. Game over. The Tigers in the dugout were pouring out onto the field. Even though it was only June, everybody already knew it was going to come down to the Tigers and the Indians in the American League Central this year. The Tigers had just swept the first series of the season between the two teams—their biggest wins of the young season.
Brian was on his feet now.
He saw Davey Schofield grinning at him from the other end of the dugout.
"Lay one down?" Davey said.
Brian said, "You heard?"
Davey said, "Man, I think the peanut vendors heard. Now I even got a kid knowing all my brilliant moves before I make 'em. Must be because your father played."
"Must be," Brian said, the sense of celebration suddenly leaving.
"Where's he now?"
"Japan," Brian said.
Davey motioned to Brian, letting him know that it was all right for him to join the celebration on the field. "You wear the uniform, you're part of the team now," Davey said, putting an arm around Brian's shoulders.
Brian walked that way with the Tigers' manager toward home plate, picking up Curtis Keller's bat when he got there. Doing his job.
As far as he was concerned, the best summer job ever in¬vented by mortal minds.
Batboy for the Detroit Tigers.
He was part of the team now.

Batboy. The dream job of most teenage kids. In the novel, The Batboy by Mike Lupica, Brian Dudley is just that. This is a great sports-fiction novel for all baseball lovers, young or old. Brian's dad, Cole Dudley, had been a major league pitcher for several teams. The problem, he is an awful dad. All he knows how to do is baseball. He lives, sleeps and eats baseball. For this reason he is divorced. Brian still finds sanctuary within it though. When Brian got the job as a batboy, Brian's mom Liz, was reluctant at first. Until she found out that Hank Bishop, Brian's idol and reason he began to love baseball, was traded onto the team. Brian was ecstatic when he heard this. On the other hand, when Brian met Hank it did not go as planned. Never in a million years would Brian think this would happen. Overall, I would give this book 7.5 out of 10 for one main reason. The book was way too predictable. I feel that Brian sticking with Hank through all that happened was touching. Most kids like to be front runners. For example, you are more likely to be a Kobe fan than a Gilbert Arenas fan. Not with Brian though. All those Cleveland fans who burned the LeBron jerseys are the exact opposite of Brian! He kept boxes full of Hank Bishop Memorabilia. I find this very interesting. I infer that Mike Lupica did this for a reason to teach a lesson. That lesson is to stay true to yourself in this case. Although this was not my favorite book ever, I would certainly recommend it to a friend. It is a great adventure for a 14 year old boy with divorced parents to go through. It was also very shocking on how highly you can think of someone and how rude they can be back at you. I would say this book is a very mild page turner. It does not involve much suspense, but being the sports fan I am it made me keep on reading. Additionally, the turns in the novel made it very entertaining. Furthermore, I connected to Brian in this novel. As a matter of fact, it was very easy to do so because we are the same age and have the same interests. In my opinion any sports lover will not have a challenge doing so. Finally, this plot was very believable. Not only did it involve real life situations, but it also explained them. For instance, the author explains that all baseball players go into slumps at one point in their career's or another. As you can see, this is a very entertaining book for all sports fans and I believe you will also enjoy it as much as I have.
I'm not usually a huge baseball fan, but Mike Lupica is usually a big seller. So when his new novel came out, I decided to give it a shot. Brian Dudley feels like he's living the dream in his summer job as a batboy for his hometown Major League team. Even though his mom doesn't understand it, especially after his dad left them for the sport; baseball is what makes Brian feel alive. But when his baseball hero, Hank Bishop, seems to be nothing like Brian imagined, and his own hitting sinks into a slump, Brian starts to wonder if baseball's really what it's all about. Brian and Hank soon discover that sometimes you just have to step up to the plate and swing for the fences, even if the only one rooting for you is yourself.
it is one of the best book mike has ever wrote
Mike Lupica never ceases to amaze me. He is an outstanding author. He mixes in my favorite sport with emotion and longing. Great job, Lupica!
Mr. Lupica book Batboy focuses on baseball and family. Brian and his mom are working though Brian father's abrupt departure for Japanese baseball.Brian Dudley is a heart broken kid that is longing for his father, all Brian is looking for is for his father to be there for him but his father life was all about baseball. Brian is a player for his town team and also has landed a job as a batboy for the Detroit Tiger and that his hero will be playing for the team. As i was reading this book I could tell Brian life has been hard all the people he loved have disappoint him like his hero Hank and father, but as I keep reading all that disappointment keep him going no matter what came to him just for the love of the game.Brian loyalty to the game is in part an attempt to remain connected with his father, who blazes through town as a talent scout, but does not take the time to say or watch one of his games. Through this story, Brian learns about current problems in the professional sport such as steroids, he learns about role models as well as love for the game. Brian has a ultimate dream of every younfg fan--- geeting to work alongside one's favorite team. " I wish it was me with Delgado Beltron" This book will appeal to any reader who loves baseball. I will recommend this book to all the kids that have a dream of becoming an athletic player because they will learn a lot of things from what any prayer or fan can go though. I think Mike Lupica is a marvelous writer. As i went though this journey reading the Batboy, he has encourage me to read all of his publish books. My next journey will be reading (Heat) also a story about a boy name Michael that has love for the game as Brian and I have.
This book is about a boy who really has a strong love for baseball. The way he shows this passion is very obvious because whenever he talks baseball he talks numbers and really doesn't stop. He also really likes the Tigers especially. And he also has really wanted to be a batboy for the tigers. I really like this book. I think it is very inspiring book because he achieves his dream and really doesn't stop until he does.
The book The Batboy by Mike Lupica is an exciting but serious story. When I saw the list for the summer reading just the title of the book got my attention. If you are a baseball fan you would definitely love this book. The way Mike Lupica describes the scenery is amazing. The words that he uses make you feel like you are actually in the story watching a baseball game. This is one of the best books that you can read for the summer. You won't regret reading the novel The Batboy. Mike Lupica's books are great sports lovers. His books are a great way to really enjoy your reading experience. The next books on my list are Summerball and Million Dollar Throw both by Mike Lupica. It's like the best of both worlds reading and sports.
As a child, I spent summers in Michigan. The more times I was able to attend a game at Tiger Stadium, the better! I was in love with baseball, and in love with the Tigers through those years - Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, Rusty Staub, Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, Lance Parrish....the list goes on. I truly believed I would one day be the first female pro baseball player! Even though this book takes place at Comerica, it brought to life those childhood images, my love for the game of baseball, and the dream of being a batboy (or girl!). With books like "The Batboy", Lupica has filled a need for literature that appeals to kids who are sports fans, but not necessarily avid readers. And avid readers who are also sports fans, like my daughter, have another enjoyable alternative. As usual, Lupica doesn't "dumb it down" for his young readers, and doesn't shy away from dealing with real-life or controversial issues, like divorce and steroid use in professional sports. I know my kids will enjoy this as much as I did.
by Carter watson I chose this book because I really like baseball. I thought the book would be about a boy that got his dreams to be a bat boy . I felt really good about this book and I really liked it and it was very interesting . This book is about a kid named brain and he wanted to be a bat boy for a team named the tigers . The setting takes place at his house and at a baseball field and he wanted to be a he wants to be a batboy for the tigers and there was no spot on that team but there was one on the white soxs and he went and talked to them and they let him. The author is Mike lupica and it is a non fiction book. I liked the book because it was about baseball and the kid tried not to give up and I try not to give up to and I keep on going and it was really interesting. I would give this book five stars because it was really good. A kid named brian and his dad played for the tigers but brain did not but brain signed up for a baseball team but later he did not know if his dad liked baseball anymore so he wanted to be a bat boy and his dreams came true.
Introduction The theme of the book is dreams can come true. Mike wrote the book because he wanted kids to know that dreams can come. Batboy is a great book to me because it's about baseball, and I like sports. If you are not a sports fan, Batboy would not be the best read for you. Description and summary of content The book was written by Mike Lupica. The book is about Brian Dudley. During the summer he gets a job as a batboy for his favorite MLB team. He is a batboy for the Detroit Tigers. That's why it is called Batboy. Brian's favorite player is Hank Bishop. Brian's dad played in the majors. He was a pitcher. When Brian first meets Hank it doesn't go well, but as time goes on they get closer and closer. Brian plays for an all-star baseball team. Their team name is the Sting. Evaluation It was one of the best books I have ever read. I don't read very often, but it was still a great book. It has a good theme and is very interesting. At some points I had trouble putting it down. Its purpose is to tell readers dreams can come. Conclusion It's a great book. There's a little bit of everything in it. If you aren't a sports kind of person, this book probably isn't the best for you. But if you like sports I would highly recommend this book. Brian becomes a batboy for the Detroit Tigers. He meets Hank Bishop. He plays for an all-star baseball team called the Sting. Brain and Hank have their ups and downs, but they end up being close I loved the book. If you are looking for a book for your child, this would be a great book for any kid.
I have read four othe Mike Lupica books but this was the BEST by FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read one or two other Mike Lupica books but The Batboy seemed to be the best one i have read yet. This book made me actually eager to find out what was going to happen next. I thoroughly enjoy every part of this book, there was very small slow parts but they didn't seem to phase me from wanting to keep reading. The fact the boy was able to be batboy and have to face one of his all time favorite players was just basically a plot that seemed interesting to me, and clearly kept me reading.
I did not read it yet but l might yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This book was about a boy getting a summer job as a batboy for the Tigars. His dad is an out of the country pitching coach. Will his dad ever come home? This book is of my favorites books I ever read. This the first Mike Lupica book I read. Thanks for reading what I think of this book. Thanks again, Matthew.
But i hear its a good book

Leave out Hurricane Irene – which was not quite destructive enough to merit blanket television coverage – and the major atmospheric tumult afflicting the east coast of America in recent times has coincided with my being there. Some three years ago, as I reported in this column at the time, I flew into "Snowmageddon" Washington on the last plane out of London. "The last plane out." Fainter hearted men might have stayed home, but I resolved to boldly go.
And then, earlier this week, I was offered the "last plane out" of Toronto into a soon-to-be "Frankenstormed" New York. I had a reading to give at a significant venue. Not Carnegie Hall, but close. The kind of event you don't play fast and loose with. But if I flew in, I couldn't be sure when I'd be able to fly out. And how many people would turn up anyway with the city under water? I have my readers, but still and all, rowing up 92nd Street! As I was deciding what to do, the organisers cancelled, and that was me off the hook. I could return home, dejected but at least not feeling I'd been a coward.
I did wonder, though, how much of this was my fault. I go to America and the roof falls in. Was I just plain unlucky or do I bring bad luck in my luggage?
Maybe only a narcissist would even ask the question. Canute is now said to have known all along that he couldn't stop the waves and had his throne borne to the water's edge only to prove the impotence of man when faced with the authority of nature. Shame. I preferred him as a braggart. In the days when The Golden Bough was popular, I liked reading about the people of Central Angoniland who, during drought, repaired to what they called a rain-temple where they poured beer into a pot for their local divinity in the hope that if they whetted his whistle he would whet theirs.
My father was a bit of a magician so you could say magic was in my veins. Magic is only the inverse of guilt. Do the wrong thing and the gods punish you; do the right and they relent. Some people don't even call it magic. They call it religion.
I've always had a soft spot, too, for the astronomer in Dr Johnson's Rasselas – a man "who had spent 40 years in unwearied attention to the motion and appearances of the celestial bodies", in the course of which study he had reached the conclusion that the weather behaved as it did because he told it to. "The sun has listened to my dictates, and passed from tropic to tropic by my direction; the clouds at my call have poured their waters, and the Nile has overflowed at my command." This, Dr Johnson calls the "reign of fancy", in which "fictions begin to operate as realities, false opinions fasten upon the mind, and life passes in dreams of rapture or of anguish".
Not insanity, exactly, but the beginning of it. Change the subject from weather to politics (false opinions fastening upon the mind, fiction operating as reality, etc), and it's an insanity that's not at all uncommon. Sport breeds comparable derangement – the most rational of spectators believing that an unguarded comment causes a wicket to fall, or a moment of inattention results in a goal for the other side.
If it's hard to accept we aren't the cause of what occurs, it's harder still to be the mere bystander of it. We would like a little of life's excitement to be seen to have rubbed off on us, so long as we emerge from the contact unscathed.
Who doesn't have a story to tell of being a whisker from a historic event? I was almost there. I left Paris half an hour before the French Revolution broke out. I cancelled an arrangement to meet a friend for knackwurst and sauerkraut at the Bürgerbräukeller on the night of Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch. I was fastening my shoelace when Shane Warne bowled Gatting with his first ball in an English Test match.
I hated being walled up in a miserable hotel in Washington watching the snow fall from my window while watching it fall again on television – the biggest snowfall in living memory, everyone said. But at the same time it energised me. It was almost worth being bored and cold for. I'd be able to tell my grandchildren how the snow fell and fell in Washington and no living person had ever seen anything to compare with it.
And no sooner is the decision not to catch the last plane from Toronto to New York taken out of my hands, than a ghoulish thought occurs to me – I am missing out on an adventure. I am letting history pass me by. I half hope there'll be scenes of panic at the airport. When my mobile phone rings, I feel a surge of exhilaration imagining it's Mayor Bloomberg saying he has ordered my reading to go ahead no matter that the city will be shut down, the subway flooded, the lower part of Manhattan on fire. "The consolation of literature is just what we need right now," he wants me to know. "We'll helicopter you in." Poets used to be at the vanguard of revolution, why shouldn't a novelist be in the eye of the storm? But it isn't Mayor Bloomberg. It's a recorded message telling me I might be owed compensation for an accident I was never in.
In the airport lounge, we watch television pictures of New York bracing itself. An awful apprehension, part apocalyptic curiosity, part compassion, part guilt, seizes us. Finally, as though nursing some unappeasable grievance against the innocent, "Frankenstorm" comes ashore. It can't be my fault. I'm leaving as it's arriving. But, reader, I was almost there. I was this far from history.

text: Just read through another thread that talked a lot about worldliness. I am a fundamentalist and have been since I got saved in 1974. All through those years I have heard things condemned because they are "worldly." I am 51 years old and have recently begun thinking (something I know we fundamentalists are not supposed to do ) about who defines worldliness. Consider the following when things are not specifically spelled out in the scriptures. I contend that much of what is seen as "worldliness" is based on opinion and personal preferences. How do we know what music (not songs, music in and of itself) is worldly? How do we know what actions are worldly, apart from what the scripture itself describes as sinful? In other words - if the Bible does not address an issue- who dedides if it is worldly?

Leisure and Tourism Landscapes by Cara Aitchison
Book DescriptionIncreasingly significant as mediators of spatial identity and meaning, leisure, tourism, culture and heritage are only now beginning to be located within the rapidly evolving discourses of poststructuralist geographies. Exploring the influence of leisure and tourism on the production, representation and consumption of landscape, the first half of this important book focuses on different ways of 'seeing' or representing landscape, whereas the second half examines different forms of productive consumption in leisure and tourism. Both symbolic and material spaces of leisure and tourism are also examined in relation to urban and rural landscapes, heritage landscapes, gendered landscapes, and landscapes of sexuality and desire. With a multidisciplinary approach and a strong theoretical content which builds on poststructuralist theories, this is undoubtedly an important addition to literature in the field.

text: My temper is keeping me from moving forward in life. I tried to get up and simply get to work today...not so much. After finding out I will likely need surgery for gallstones, I am on edge about everything. Given that I work from home, there is no PTO option for me. My youngest son's dad used to send some money while in the army. 2 years ago he just stopped with no explanation. He contacted me a couple of months ago saying he would be leaving the army and wanted to see his son. Still NOTHING. It's like he dangles this mess over my head bc he wants my attention then pretends like I'm just crazy and worried about him when I finally snap on him. I just sent him a message telling him I will find him and take him to child support. Sadly, I'm lying. I have no clue where he is or how to find him and likely still wouldn't do it if I did. He got married while we were together, by son was born after. The wife has made it no secret that she hates us both and wants my child to suffer although she also admitted that he has never been faithful and that he would likely cheat again, just not with me...real psycho. She stalked me trying to find out the details of our relationship even though they were in the same house and he wouldn't tell her anything. She even called and told me about all the money he spends on her and her kids and how mine would get little to nothing. A real rotten wench. Yeah, I know some of you will blame me for being involved with him, but that's not even the issue. They had a pathetic "open" relationship when we met. He basically moved in and took care of my oldest for 1 1/2 years before marrying her so why would I think they would ever go that route. Once I figured it out, I tried to move on with my life, but he just kept playing on my vulnerabilities. Knowing that he was literally the only friend I had, he would call and tell me he loved me, beg to see me, say we could just be friends, etc. ANYthing to get me back. After shunning him for months, I caved. And here we are. He pretends to be blameless but his plan was to have 2 families all along. The problem came in when he told the wife. Although he seemed to foolishly believe that she was a saint who would accept my child with open arms...and even she messaged me at one point saying something similar, her true colors came out in no time and she began goign thru his phone, checking every message, and calling me to tell me how he doesn't care about my child and she would've kicked him out of my stomach had she known I was pregnant (a real class act!). I had to change my number at least 3 times. The last of which, I never even gave it to him bc he was clearly too dumb to keep it away from her and only made excuses for her behavior after the fact. She even used some type of app to make it look like I called them first whilst in Germany to justify her calling and leaving yet another creepy message in the wee hours of the morning. On the other hand, HE was mad bc he expected me to play the role of happy mistress. Once I demanded the respect me and my child deserve, he began to ignore me and the support slowly dwindled down to nothing...with no real explanation. Now he's back and trying once again to suck me into his web. I have told him to paypal the money if he chooses. So far, nothing. I will eventually sue them...I just can't handle the stress at this point. I am LIVID this morning. In most situations, this is ideal. I was NEVER trying to "steal" him from his family...if that's what I wanted, I would've told his wife the truth of the matter. Instead, realizing my role in it, I just admitted to the baby and proceeded to be labeled a homewrecker. The wife had a goal of ruffling my feathers and getting ALL the details of our relationship, but only succeeded in one aspect. I know she's still stalking me somewhere...just doesn't have my contact info anymore. It's really like I became the scapegoat for 2 ppl who were never happy and shouldn't be married anyhow. I did everything to try and make things right on my end. It's like they both won't be happy until I'm crying on the phone to them about how much I need them to help with my son. I'll die first. My mom raised me to be many things I hate but I weak woman is definitely not one of them... Anyhow, rant complete. Thank for listening. *sorry if there are typos, I'm honestly to upset to proofread*

Ratings for Dr. Maen J. Farha
Fantastic doctor. I've only had 2 appts, but so far, he seems to have the best bed side manner. I look forward to having him follow my tests and will meet with him again today for a follow up from a breast MRI.
Dr. Maen Farha is humorous and inteligent and accurate and curious. He listens as well as takes his time with each patient. I never felt rushed. Everyone is important to him. When I need him, (diagonosed with cancer) he was there for me every step of the way. I had already developed a patient relationship with him for very minor surgeries and I new immediately who to trust as a surgeon when I needed an involved surgery and follow up. If you want a surgeon who sees you as part of the 'team' and listens to your voice, Maen Farha is excellant.
This Dr. has the best bedside manner I have ever known. He helps you up from a lying down position always. He listens to everything you want to say. He follows up in a timely fashion, not all doctors do. He came highly recommened from several friends and his staff is just as good.
very attentive, answered all questions in as much detail as I wanted

Immediate Struggles by Susana Narotzky
Book DescriptionThis superb historical and ethnographic study of the political economy of the Vega Baja region of Spain, one of the European Union's "Regional Economies," takes up the difficult question of how to understand the growing alienation ordinary working people feel in the face of globalization. Combining rich oral histories with a sophisticated and nuanced structural understanding of changing political economies, the authors examine the growing divide between government and its citizens in a region that has in the last four decades been transformed from a primarily agricultural economy to a primarily industrial one. Offering a new form of ethnography appropriate for the study of suprastate polities and a globalized economy, Immediate Struggles contributes to our understanding of one region as well as the way we think about changing class relations, modes of production, and cultural practices in a newly emerging Europe. The authors also consider how phenomena such as the "informal economy" and "black market" are not marginal to the normal operation of state and economic institutions but are intertwined with both.

Russian Bank Chief Denies Putin Link to $2 Billion Offshore Loansby and
VTB's Kostin rejects allegation subsidiary made unsecured loan
State media largely ignores controversy over Putin circle
The Kremlin said Vladimir Putin is the target of attempts to destabilize Russia through the publication of reports linking him to as much as $2 billion in offshore transactions alleged to involve people close to the president.
The Russian leader isn't even mentioned in leaked files from a Panama law firm, though he's in the spotlight "because Putin, Russia, our country, our stability, our upcoming elections are the primary target to destabilize the situation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call Monday.
Leaked files from Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm that creates shell companies, show at least $2 billion in transactions involved people and companies that had ties to Putin, according to reports published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists on Sunday. Russian state media largely ignored the reports, while independent outlets critical of the Kremlin gave them prominent coverage. Allegations have surfaced in the past about corruption involving Putin's inner circle, though the information published by the ICIJ marks the most serious accusations yet.
Putin "was never involved. It's bulls**t," Andrey Kostin, chief executive officer of state-owned VTB Group, Russia's second-largest lender, said in a Bloomberg Television interview on Monday. He rejected an ICIJ report that the files showed the bank made unsecured loans through a Cyprus-based subsidiary to a close friend of the president.
'Disinformation' Campaign
One key figure in the offshore transactions was a long-time friend of Putin, classical musician Sergey Roldugin, the ICIJ said. Roldugin, who's godfather to the president's eldest daughter according to the consortium, didn't respond immediately to e-mailed questions sent to his foundation.
Another of the president's long-time associates, Arkady Rotenberg, Putin's childhood judo partner, controls at least two anonymous companies that made huge payments into the network of transactions, the ICIJ said. Andrey Baturin, a spokesman for Rotenberg, declined to comment.
Putin has many friends including Roldugin, Peskov said. The "disinformation" campaign against the Kremlin leader seeks to influence September's parliamentary elections and the 2018 presidential vote, though it's "ineffective" and won't have an impact, he said.
About 60 percent of Russians already believe "one way or another that Putin is corrupt and is part of all these networks and controls this mafia state system," Lev Gudkov, head of the independent Levada Center polling company, said by phone Monday. At the same time, almost one in five Russians don't care whether Putin's corrupt because they think that they live better under his presidency, Gudkov said.
Putin's 'Banker'
Even so, with millions of Russians sinking into poverty amid the country's longest recession in two decades, the spread of information linking the president to billions of dollars in offshore transactions may have a "cumulative" influence on Putin's popularity, Gudkov said.
At the heart of the offshore dealings, according to the ICIJ, was Bank Rossiya. Its largest shareholder Yuri Kovalchuk was described by the U.S. Treasury in 2014 as a "personal banker" for Putin and other top Russian officials when the lender was sanctioned over Russia's involvement in the Ukraine crisis. The bank didn't respond immediately to a request for comment.
While offshore holdings can be legal, they can also be used to hide wealth. The ICIJ cited documents that it alleged showed that some banks and law firms failed to follow requirements to check that their clients weren't involved in crimes.
Unsecured Loan
The ICIJ's reports included the allegation that VTB's Cyprus-based subsidiary Russian Commercial Bank (RCB) gave unsecured credit lines of hundreds of millions of dollars at extremely low interest rates to an offshore company that was involved in the transactions.
"It's absolutely out of the question that RCB would give a loan unsecured," Kostin told Bloomberg News after his televised interview. RCB is subject to European Central Bank regulation and the accusations against it came from people who "don't have the information on financial transactions," he said.
Russian Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev told reporters Monday that "my name has nothing to do with these events" after the ICIJ linked some of his relatives to an offshore company in the documents.
The ICIJ's allegations reflect high levels of "Putinophobia" outside Russia, though their quality is "disappointing" and the Kremlin sees no reason to take legal action, Peskov said. He accused the consortium last week of preparing an "information attack" on the president and said Russia has "the full arsenal of legal means" to defend his reputation.
Personal Wealth
The reports won't affect Putin's standing with Russians, said Alexei Chesnakov, a former Kremlin aide who still advises top officials. "There won't be any serious consequences for Putin's personal image from this publication" and their "impact on public opinion is seriously exaggerated," he said by phone Monday.
Putin's been the focus of intense speculation about his personal wealth in recent years. In 2008, he denied reports that he has a $40 billion fortune as the wealthiest man in Europe, saying that journalists had picked the allegation "out of their noses and smeared it on their pieces of paper" at his annual news conference.
Putin's corrupt and the U.S. government's known about it for many years, U.S. Treasury official Adam Szubin said in a BBC documentary broadcast in January. Peskov called the statements lies. White House spokesman Josh Earnest echoed the allegations two days later, telling reporters that the Treasury's assessment "best reflects the administration view."
