suddenly disturbed. The hive was now placed on the hive-board, with the entrance toward the bees. For a little while they continued to run about, as if bewildered, but then was heard a peculiar vibrating and buzzing sound proceeding from the hive. In an instant all the bees faced about, with their heads toward the hive, and all marched into it in regular procession.
A New Respirator.—A new mask for filtering dust out of the atmosphere, and intended for use by workmen who follow sundry unhealthy trades, has been devised by Dr. B. W. Richardson. Having tried various substances in order to find a good filter, he gives the preference to feathers. The advantages of feathers as filters of dust are many: they are light, they separate perfectly, admitting air in any quantity while excluding dust, and they absorb water less perhaps than any other porous flexible substance. They have the further advantage of being cheap, and of being easily made up into filters. In constructing his mask he connects the light feathers drawn from the leg-plumage of the pheasant along a line of tape. This band he wraps around the perforated breathing-tube of the mask, so that the feathers fall over the perforations. In inspiration the feathers come down over the perforations, filtering the air as it enters, while in expiration they are blown out from the tube as feather-valves.
Bat-Guano.—In reply to a circular of inquiry addressed to numerous correspondents in the Southern States, Mr. McMurtrie, chemist to the United States Department of Agriculture, received a number of letters describing deposits of "bat-guano." Near Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, there is a deposit supposed to amount to hundreds of tons, many apartments in the cave in which the excrement is found being filled to the mouth. Near Tuscumbia, Alabama, is a deposit estimated to be worth $20,000. A cave near San Antonio, Texas, is supposed to contain 15,000 or 20,000 tons of this guano, and the store is annually increasing. Samples from these and other deposits have been analyzed by Mr. McMurtrie. Most of them he found to contain both ammonia and nitrates. Under the microscope the material is seen to consist of the remains of the hard parts of insects in a finely-comminuted condition, which are the source of its nitrogenous constituents. As a fertilizer this guano compares favorably with the fish-products manufactured in New England, and even with Peruvian guano.
Prof. Marsh and his Paleontological Work.—Prof. O. C. Marsh, in a lecture to the graduating class of Yale College, summed up the main results of his paleontological researches in the Rocky Mountains. A syllabus of the lecture is published in the American Journal of Science. His conclusions as to the size and growth of the brain in mammals, from the beginning of the Tertiary to the present time, may be briefly stated thus: 1. All tertiary mammals had small brains. 2. There was a gradual increase in the size of the brain during this period. 3. This increase was mainly confined to the cerebral hemispheres. 4. In some groups the convolutions of the brain have gradually become more complicated. 5. In some the cerebellum and olfactory lobes have even diminished in size. There is some evidence that the same law of brain-growth holds good for birds and reptiles from the Cretaceous to the present time. Some additional conclusions in regard to American tertiary mammals as far as now known are as follows: 1. All the ungulata from the eocene and miocene had upper and lower incisors. 2. All eocene and miocene mammals had separate scaphoid and lunar bones. 3. All mammals from these formations had separate metapodial bones. At the conclusion of the lecture Prof. Marsh announced that his work in the field was essentially completed, and that all the fossil remains collected and in part described were now in the Yale College Museum. In future he should devote himself to their study and full description, and he hoped at no distant day to make public the complete results.

Yesterday I was singing the hymn "Showers of Blessings." I was singing it as both a prayer and claim to the promise.
The lyrics were written by Daniel W. Whittle in 1883 and is based on Ezekiel 34:26 which says:
"And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing,
And I will send down the showers in their season;
They shall be showers of blessing."
Lately I have been struggling with being grateful and seeing the blessings in my life, but as I was singing this song yesterday, I would close my eyes and myself dancing in an outpouring of His blessings like I was dancing in the rain. I was dancing, arms outstretched, turning around and around as His blessings poured down like a summer shower. It was a beautiful picture.
There Shall be Showers of Blessing
There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be showers refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing—
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
There shall be showers of blessing;
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

Mason Bee House Plans: Making a bee home is a straightforward woodworking project that takes just a few minutes to construct, and making a bee home is a great venture for utilizing a couple of items of salvaged lumber and scrap wooden. Worryingly, the bottom line for house costs in this region appears to have slid downwards within the first six months of this yr. Sellhousefastusa four years in the past from Sell home for money in new york , brooklyn, queens, long island, bronx & nationwide ! There isn't any central heating and the house has been just about abandoned for years, that means that 'ventilation only comes from the broken windows!!! Thank you for responding and every little thing this member of the family did in the past was small theft like stealing money from purses however just lately has moved up to stealing bank cards, credit cards and now breaking into my home.
At this level, the Astrologer knows what known as The Trinity", or three most essential components in a person's horoscope, the Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Ascendant. House was a co-manufacturing of Heel and Toe Films , Shore Z Productions , and Bad Hat Harry Productions in association with Universal Media Studios for Fox. No matter what illness is thrown at him, no matter how impossibly incurable it appears, House (normally) manages to avoid wasting the day.. If solely he'd smile more. Maybe you need to look into the Baltimore Historical Society or The Sun archives for photos of these homes. There aren't any plans for making this stunning trying cat cocoon, however it's pretty self-explanatory.
The roof (half A) of the bat box was cut slightly over-sized to allow secondary minimize at a 22 1/2 degree angle to match the highest of the again (part C) and the perimeters (parts B).Milling the again fringe of the roof to a 22 1/2 diploma angle improves the visual enchantment and makes it easier to eliminate drafts and to waterproof the joints between the roof, again and sides of the bat home.
As mentioned there appears to be some possible rising damp within the 2 bedrooms and although a mould spray has been used on the walls and I actually have painted my partitions, it appears to be like like is is coming again and in the main bed room which is my brothers room there's always alot of condensation on the home windows. It can even predict what your circumstances may be on the finish of your life, as when it comes to the physical body, this home represents the ultimate resting place within the Earth. Your weekly pickup day and times haven't yet been determined for this season and will depend upon which pickup location you select. The Tenth House is dominated by Capricorn, so occupation, profession, recognition from others and fame matter in a giant manner.
Recent investment in urban regeneration has led to a lot enchancment in poorer areas in and across the city, but the property costs stay a number of the UK's lowest. It is unimaginable, as you say, that our house costs proceed to stay high here within the South. So while a person might have the ability to afford to lease an condominium working a minimum wage job by sticking to a very strict budget, most apartment complexes is not going to lease to him.

A taste of Mudgee magic
A country town came to the big city last night to persuade more of us to travel that one extra step beyond the Blue Mountains.
I do like a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. Mudgee's first move in its new tourism campaign is a 30-second ad targeting the patrons of art house cinemas. The promotion is a skilful blend of country confidence with urban sophistication, laced with cheeky humour.
I like it even more that the ad was shot on a shoestring budget thanks to the volunteered skills of several film professionals, plus considerable community support. It will screen in Dendy and Palace cinemas over the next two months, targeting a specific group of discriminating pleasure seekers.
It's high time more Sydneysiders took Mudgee seriously. The region, which includes Gulgong, Kandos and Rylstone, has worn the dated tag of poor cousin to the Hunter Valley far too long. In reality Mudgee is a totally different experience, but with fine wines, food and accommodation to equal anything found closer to Sydney. But whereas the Hunter welcomed 2.36 million visitors last year, Mudgee dreams of seeing a fraction of that number.
The region's a comfortable four hour drive from the city, too far maybe for a day trip but fine for a weekend or mid-week escape. And the little bit of extra distance means that, unlike the Hunter, no tour buses are clogging the roads and car parks. Cellar doors are often simple sheds where friendly farm dogs sniff around as the winemaker pours tastings and regales visitors with vineyard tales.
Mudgee has 13 wineries, but more than 40 cellar doors. That's because many local growers have their grapes made into wine at one of the local wineries, then sell it under their own label. "But its all Mudgee grapes inside," one winemaker assured me, adding wryly, "like much of the wine in the Hunter". Most wineries are family owned and small production, 6000 to 10,000 cases a year.
Accommodation includes fine heritage guesthouses such as Forgandenny and Beverley House and the Cobb & Co Court boutique hotel, all in town. Among those on the outskirts are Evanslea and the Mudgee Homestead. As well as wine there's a complete pantry of local produce to bring home, including cheeses, home-made chocolates, olives and olive oil, yabbies, relishes country jams. Make sure you buy the bottle labelled "Must do Mudgee" soon.
Hear Here!
We recently spent an extended long weekend up at Mudgee, staying in a romantic one bedroom cottage on a olive grove surrounded by kangaroos, the neighbour's cat and a large number of wineries.
Mudgee is flat, so we spent two days visiting cellar doors by bike, then drove around collecting bottles prior to heading back to Sydney. We also came back with local honey, pesto, jams and a large slab of venison that's still in the freezer.
To my unsophisticated pallette, the sweet spot of mudgee wines comes it at around $15-20 dollars. No particular varietal stood out, though we did end up with a disproportiate amount of unwooded chardonnay and verdelho as well as some softer reds.

For me Mudgee knocks spots off the Hunter. We went up for the food and wine month last year and had an absolute ball. Stayed in a superb B&B, hired good bikes and cycled to all the wineries, went to an open air concert on the Saturday night, caught a chopper ride from Poet's Corner and had a superb meal at the butcher shop in the main street. It reminded me far more of Stellenbosch and Margaret River than the Hunter ever will.
- Posted by: Rod Ross on June 28, 2006 8:14 AM
Mudgee is a beautiful place. As a Sydneysider, I visited for the first time this year. Great wineries and olive oil growers, Heritage streetscape. Mountain scenery on the way - don't miss the lookout near Capertee. Go on up to historic Gulgong, then cut across to Wellington, another beautiful town. Check out Orange and Millthorpe. Good wineries around there too. If you haven't visited these towns in the central highlands, you have missed some of the prettiest, most historic towns and best wine areas in NSW.
- Posted by: PK on June 28, 2006 8:32 AM
I couldn't agree more. I just spent a long weekend in Mudgee - real people, real wineries (not chutney/baseball cap outlets)and an unhurried pace. Not a limo full of drunks to be seen....
- Posted by: JL on June 28, 2006 8:38 AM
What is your problem Rob? A couple of weeks ago we had a blog from you where you put down the Hunter, and now you have one saying how fantastic Mudgee is compared to Hunter wineries. I don't mind objective comments but you seem to have a personal problem with Pokolbin. If so, please stay away, but don't keep banging on about it.
I think you are being a touch over-sensitive Andrew. My raising a valid and objective question about development is hardly "putting down" the Hunter. And this blog doesn't say Mudgee is better, it simply says it's different. - Rob

I have been to Mudgee a few times and I must say, it is beautiful. The wines are excellent and there are some good cafes and restaurants as well.
We stayed just out of town at The Mudgee Homestead which has views across the plains. Very good. Oh, and the hosts Shaun and Karen have got to be THE most charming hosts in New South Wales.
Cheers, Travis.

Great to see some attention paid to Mudgee Region. I couldn't agree more that it is a worthwhile escape from Sydney.
not only are their fantastic wineries, B&Bs and restaurants, but the history of the area is substantially more colourful than the Hunter. The Mudgee region is goldrush country, with Mudgee, Gulgong and Rylstone's main streets lined with beautiful sandstone buildings. The best wool in the world, according to Zegna, comes from Pirramul, a little town in the region.
If you are looking for a little more than just boozy Sydney wine tours, this area is definitely a spot to visit.
- Posted by: Will on June 28, 2006 10:48 AM
Mudgee is nice....and you are right about it not taking itself too seriously - a few years ago we received in the post a brochure advertising the many attractions of the region - the brochure was headed:
Mudgee - a touch of Tuscany!"
Only an aussie town with a highly refined sense of irony would dare equate itself with Tuscany!
- Posted by: NickyG on June 28, 2006 11:24 AM
Will is 100% correct that some of the very best superfine wool in the world comes from Pyramul (spelt correctly Will). I own a superfine wool growing property at Pyramul and the district is world renowned for its superb wool that is highly sought after by woolbuyers, particularly Italian mills. Until now, Mudgee was the best kept secret west of the Blue Mountains!

Why do down one region when talking about another. We're off to the Hunter this weekend and can't wait. We will also be making a trip to Mudgee but right now, 4+ hrs in the car is too far for us for one night.
- Posted by: Fleur on June 28, 2006 11:42 AM
Lay off Rob, Milhouse - 'twas I who started the rot on Cessnock, and rightly so.
In response to my thread on the Hunter, many pleaded the virtues of Hunter Semillon and the likes of Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz.
Great Hunter Semillon needs high acids and relatively low alcohol to produce world class quality (in time) and such seasons are rare.
Graveyard Shiraz, granted, is nothing short of sublime, however it too it is only produced in exceptional growing seasons.
Forget it Milhouse, you either head south or upward in altitude to achieve quality.
It has to be cool, dude.

A great place to visit - I keep going back.
And the place to stay is the Mudgee H'stead !!
- Posted by: jp on June 28, 2006 12:50 PM
Yes Mudgee is a quiet and slow town, and the wineries are a breath of fresh air. Be sure to stay at Lawson Park Hotel, party at Waratah (right spelling?), and feed ducks at the river the morning after. Breakfast at the Buchery Shop Cafe is a must!
- Posted by: jj on June 28, 2006 1:05 PM
I believe the Mudgee region is producing far better wines than any other I've toured, including the Hunter, Adelaide Hills, Southern Highlands and Yarra. It's a big call, I know. But I believed it so much, I bought a property up there.
The best wineries in my book are diLusso with amazing Italian varietals and Pieter Van Gent with robust flavours across a broad range. Other standouts include Vinifera's Ros�, Farmer's Daughter's dessert wines and Mansfield's Tourega and Zinfandel.
Be prepared for the whole town to close around midday or 2pm though. I'm all for Mudgee being on a tourism push, but they really need to get their business hours sorted out to bring the people in. If you build it, we will come.
- Posted by: Matt Batten on June 28, 2006 1:08 PM
We've been to the Central West a number of times.(Mudgee, Oberon, Orange, Bathurst) over the last few years.
We found the wines in Mudgee particularly good. We were very impressed with the reds.
Everything in Mudgee is close. The wineries are close to each other. The cafes are close to each other.
We think 4 hours to Mudgee is a bit optimistic though. 5 hours has been our experience.
We're not surprised that they're targetting the Dendy, as it has a great cafe culture which would appeal to inner west residents. Pity a lot more people will now find out about it.
- Posted by: The Nelsons on June 28, 2006 1:09 PM
We've been going to Mudgee for years and can highly recommend. Avoid summer as it gets blazing hot! Best times are late Autumn though to the October long weekend. The best kept secret in NSW!
- Posted by: Michael on June 28, 2006 1:21 PM
Totally agree, Mudgee is a haven compared to the Hunter. And the Mudgee pantry also includes honey and venison!
- Posted by: rich on June 28, 2006 1:34 PM
Mudgee/Gulgong is a very lovely area of NSW. Having grown up in Gulgong, I can certainly testify to this. Just never forget that Gulgong is a stand alone attraction itself, but as a package, the two certainly make for a great weekend!
- Posted by: Nathan on June 28, 2006 2:03 PM
Used to live 25km out of Mudgee on a few acres and still love the place and visit at least twice a year. When you get there park the car and cycle to the wineries. It's a great place to cycle and not much traffic.

I couldn't agree more. I went to Mudgee last year and was so impressed I bought an investment property and am now in the midst of plans to move their. Great town, great people and great wine....what more could you want !!!
- Posted by: jenny on June 28, 2006 2:19 PM
Mudgee is nice, but the real hidden gems are Rylstone & Kandos. Only 40 minutes drive from Mudgee and beautiful scenery. Local Rylstone wines, olives, history & industry. I've just been looking at the rylstone.com web site and it will give you a lot of information for that area.
- Posted by: Athony on June 28, 2006 2:37 PM
Having recently discovered Mudgee and spent a fantastic long weekend exploring the town and surrounds, I am pleased to recommend it highly.
We stayed at the Wildwood guesthouse and couldn't have received a warmer welcome. We also attended a cinema in the vineyards event (which included dinner) and chatted with many of the friendly locals - all in all a fabulous getaway.

Oh dear, if everyone goes it will become like the Hunter! Mudgee is so much more relaxed and friendly on the visits I have made and some good value wines to be found.
- Posted by: Andrew on June 28, 2006 2:46 PM
Mudgee deserves to be put on the map because this is where you will find Logan Wines - last time we were there we got to check out the new cellar door - talk about Mudgee Madness - it was perfect. Pass this stylish establishment on the way in to town at Apple Tree Flat....once you get in to town - grab a coffee at Butcher Shop Cafe. Heaven.

Mudgee was great for a 2 or 3 day visit even back in the early 80's. Warm Mudgee mead on a cold winters night by the local log fire; fine reds; small friendly vinyards, nice countryside. Fond memories. You remind me of the need to make another visit. Mudgee - "Nest In The Hills"

It was only a matter of time before the curtain was lifted on the Mudgee/Rylstone/Kandos district. It is one of the state's best kept secrets. The nearby Capertee Valley is the world's second largest enclosed valley behind the Grand Canyon. The views over the back of the Blue Mountains are some of the most spectacular in NSW. My wife and I fell in love with it so much we bought a weekender up there a few years back. It is so much prettier than the Hunter and some of the restaurants in historic Rylstone would put Balmain and Paddington to shame. Just to die for!

In response to the Nelsons 5 hours trip to Mudgee; I thought the 4 hours was a very generous travel time. I've been twice in the last year from Sydney CBD, and haven't taken any longer than 3.5 hours; and that is not speeding. It is a very pleasant town and an easy drive from Sydney.
I would rate the wines world class, good value. The people are friendly, and the scenery is great too.

I visited Mudgee during the Queen's B'day weekend and I LOVED IT! Except for the shitty motel which had the last room in town (we had a baby in tow and they gave us a smoking room...we left at 5am as the whole room still had 60s decor and the beds felt like they were 50 years old).
ANYWAY, MUDGEE BEATS THE HUNTER VALLEY ANYTIME. There's no snobbery here, no up themselves waiters/waitresses, vintners and actually I had the loveliest time speaking to a couple of winemakers. Choose the small vineyards (the ones whose wines don't appear in your local Liquorland). I couldn't believe at these two vineyards I went to, the WINEMAKERS were talking to me instead of their let's say, not too knowledgeable assistants. I enjoyed MUDGEE GROWERS and PETER VAN GENT vineyards. At these two places I had a fine discussion of the wine with Peter who has an American accent but is Dutch (can't remember the Mudgee Grower guy - sorry). I never found that at the Hunter. The Hunter had too many vineyards trying to sell you off-souvenir shite whereas I discussed everything about the grapes with the winemakers...I WAS IN WINE HEAVEN!
So no worries, I've found the wine region I'd like to go to in this state. And yes a friend told me I must have loved the wines because of the general poor quality of the wine (he nominates Young as a good place to go to, especially for the cherry wine)...I do concede the wines there aren't the best of the best but they do have relatively moderate-good wines that are quaffable/drinkable and well it's the people that make the difference. I don't think they'll have much success with the whites, but who cares when you are treated with respect there instead of the run of the mill Sydneysider weekender?
And I'm an Australian woman from a Non-Anglo-Saxon Background (Asian) and I was treated without discrimination. Pity I couldn't say that about the Hunter.
Oh and attended Sunday night mass at the Catholic Church there and the old Mudgee is still there ie the farmers etc etc. Also bought some honey and oranges from a Bathurst local on the highway to Mudgee. I'm regretting the 5 kilo beeswax that he was selling for $7 which I didn't buy. Another reason to drive up there again!

What a thrill it was to read this article. Rylstone is undoubtably one of the states best kept secrets. Discovered on the way to Mudgee on one of our many memorable visits, DeBeaurepaire Wines Tasting Room in a restored 1830's cottage is simply divine. In the main street of the cosy town of Rylstone, it is easy to spend a few hours tasting wines and enjoying a 'Flight of Wines' that are perfectly matched with an antipasto plate. Afterwards, a stroll across the road into the Vintage stores makes it a relaxing and educational afternoon.

We've been travelling to Mudgee for three years, heading up there two or three times a year whenever we need our batteries recharged. We invariably stay with Vicki and Andrew at Evanslea - they are outstanding hosts and their B&B is the best in the area. Mudgee has loads to offer in terms of the friendly people, fine wines, great dining and general entertainment. We particularly like the lack of tour buses and congested roads. Mudgee is a real jewel waiting to be found, but not too soon, please!

Having spent my youth in the Rylstone district and now residing in WA I looked forward to the recent weekend spent in the Rylstone/Mudgee area, with my family.Our only regret was that it was too short!
The drive from Capertee through Glen Alice and Bogee to Rylstone and then on to Mudgee brought back many memories. We found it hard to take our eyes off the mountains and their changing colours.
We are all making plans to return and do some of the activities that time did not allow this time

Mudgee is indeed a beautiful place. Not really your average country town. It is more sophisticated than most. Gulgong is wonderful too - though a little kitsch. I'm not a picky wine drinker, so can't comment on the virtues of the local vineyards. There are many about though.
I don't think knocking the Hunter (as many have on this blog) is necessary to make Mudgee look better. If anything, that gives an impression of envy and confirms the tag of 'poor cousin'. Each region has its own qualities.

Great article. I grew up in the town of Mudgee and have scene it grow and develop over the years, to where it is today. I am proud to go back whenever I can and my family love it as well, so much that we have purchased an investment property, I can see myself moving back.
- Posted by: Jayne on June 28, 2006 8:37 PM
I was so glad to see this article!!
I just came back from mudgee this past weekend, and have been going there for years (well hard to avoid since my aunty lives there..)
It has changed so much over the years, im really happy with the progress of the town. Its good to spend about 5 days exploring the region. Enjoy!

I cant beleive so many people are supprised about the nest in the hills called Mudgee. Since I grew up there in the 70's I cant tell you how sweet it is. The vinyards, good wine, good food, blue sky, clean air, very few idiots :) and then the weekenders from Sydney who keep the place lively throughout the year. Still suffers from small town syndrome if you live there long enough but hey at the end of the day you cant beat it. Gods country it surely is.
Watch out for skippy's between lithgow and Apple Tree Flat ;)

Eight years ago I moved from Coffs Harbour to Mudgee for family reasons. My two sons have also moved and set up their businesses in the town. None of us have had a moments regret. We originally came from Melbourne and Sydney. Three and a half hours driving from Sydney is considered the norm and many people drive the distance willingly to enjoy what the district has to offer.
Winelover, I am sorry your visit was disappointing because of your motel room. It does pay to book ahead and then you have the choice of many places for accommodation.
Although I am not a wine drinker, my family enjoy it. I am told the Wines from Simon Gilbert are first quality. Oh, and you may like to meet Nadine the assistant Wine Cellar manager. She's lots of fun. She and Simon, the Cellar Door manager, are happy to help you with your choice. Enjoy!

I saw the comment about the Logan cellar door and I have to agree. I went to Mudgee with high expectations, though I was blown away by the everything about the Logan Winery. Worth a trip to Mudgee alone, despite the fact that there is a plethora of other quality wineries to visit.
Well done to the SMH for bringing this well kept secret into the minds of its readers! Hopefully Mudgee starts seeing the volume of visitors it deserves...though hopefully not too many!

Mudgee is a little piece of paradise, a nest in the hills and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. It is also my dreaming place, a place of family and fine Mudgee Shiraz that tastes of chocolate and berries and conjures up visions of fine wood fires, devine food and a touch of soft jazz.
- Posted by: Tracey on June 29, 2006 10:14 AM
Simply superb at Simon Gilbert Wines! And it's right next door to Logans. What fun we had with the Cellar Door staff at Simon Gilbert Wines. The wines were fantastic and the atmosphere so involving without being intimidating.

all you so called "I know Mudgee better than you" commentators have failed miserably to mention the best place to stay. If you haven't been to Wildwood, you haven't lived. Stylish without preciousness, fantastic quiet rural setting (roos, deer, dams, vines - get the picture), a slab house with great beds, lovely real bed linen, wine & delicious litte treats. If you can't face going out, Didier the legendary gallic chef will cook dinner for you. So if you like lying by the fire with a glass of red, waiting for your braised beef cheeks to be served, you'd better book your room! it's just beautiful. We took a picnic up a hill and sat by an old mine shaft. It's sophisticated rural accommodation at its best.

All you guys heading to Mudgee why not check out one of the newer Guest Houses "Wombadah". Great rooms, great food, great views and great hosts. Ray & Kaye Whitfield will look after you - give them a call.

My husband and I loved Mudgee so much we moved here from Philadelphia U.S.A. 4 years ago.
Some of our favourites...Steins, Thistle Hill and Andrew Harris for fabulous reds.Andrew makes a lovely rose too, we did a recent taste test of 5 and voted it the best.
Montrose Black Shiraz from Poet's Corner..heavenly
For the best zinfandel in the world, Lowes Winery on Tinja lane.
Great home made chocolates, olive products and the best MSA certified tender steak you can't beat Oakfield Country Store and Inverness cafe.Highfield for yummy Mudgee cheeses and the best deal in dining at Deeb's Kitchen, delicious!!!!The Gulgong Pioneer's museum and the Cudgegong Gallery are must sees too.
Come and visit us you Sydney siders, but do try to spend a few days, because you need more than 1 day to unwind from city stress.Midweek is much quieter too if you can wangle the days off.

Fantastic to see Mudgee in SMH, particularly your recommendation of the Mudgee Homestead Guesthouse where my wife and I have now stayed twice. Don't be put off by the fact it is slightly "out of town", the wineries are also out of town, and the Homestead is perched right in the midst of them, high on a hill with a dramatic view of the vineyards and stunning sunsets over the valley. It is all about attention to detail and this is definately one of the most romantic and relaxing B&Bs we have come across (in fact we are currently organising a group of friends to take over all 6 rooms for a weekend in the Autumn - the generous shared spaces and engaging hosts make it very well suited to a group getaway).
Mudgee is a characterful country town with a real centre to it, none of the overdevelopment of the Hunter. When you visit a cellar door the odds are that you will enjoy tasting with the winemakers themselves, not a hired-in marketeer. The atmosphere is laid back but they are serious about their produce (if you haven't tried Mudgee marinated feta get down to the David Jones Food Hall immediately).
The drive through the Blue Mountains is a pleasant 3 1/2 hours. If you leave Sydney at the same time you would leave for work, you can be watching kangaroos from a Federation verandah by morning tea.

You know I love Mudgee. But if you can't get up there...go to Mudgee Boutique Wines online and order direct...get a mixed dozen and you can make an itinerary for your trip to Mudgee based on what wines you enjoyed the most!

Mudgee is a fantastic place to visit - we recently spent a romantic getaway at a gorgeous self catering cottage town. Make sure you call in to Roths Wine Bar - unbelievable - like a Melbourne wine bar but with great local wines and country hospitality. The staff were so friendly and gave us some great tips on what to do while we were in town.

well, I have read everyone's comments and boy, do I ever agree. I'm a wine lover from way back and absolutely adore Mudgee. I've been to Napa, the Hunter and nowhere beats Mudgee! I discovered the most divine hideaway, a luxurious B&B which really is just a few minutes out of town, Ardrossan is heaven on earth. My partner and I arrived exhausted from a very long work week an were swept into the most luxurous accommodation at Ardrossan. Can I just tell you? the beds were sumptious!! we sunk into them smelling the fresh country air. the next morning our hosts tempted us with delicious Mudgee honey, jams and other treats with our full brekky. We were picked up at the doorstep for our wine tour which our hosts were so gracious to arrange. upon our return we explored the grounds and fed the geese, cattle and adorable floppy eared goats -- we played with the puppies, went for a soak in the rejuvenating spa and admired the glorious little birds floating everywhere. we took a three minute cab ride into town for dinner later that evening -- how convenient to be SO close and spent a fabulous few days just relaxing in complete luxury and comfort. Mudgee really is heaven on earth, go stay at Ardrossan! www.ardrossanmudgee.com.au

Mudgee makes the perfect roadtrip from Sydney or Newcastle for a long weekend - be sure to check out the smaller vineyards with their own on-site wineries, which were established long before the rush to plant grapes in the past five to ten years or so... Don't miss Craigmoor, Thistle Hill, Burnbrae and Mirimar. Thistle Hill is organic (a major plus) and also has a lovely old workman's cottage for rent, with a cottage garden and continental breakfast, right in the middle of an olive grove and surrounded by vineyards! And their cabernets are to die for. After a morning of wine tasting, grab a coffee from Eltons Cafe and read the paper... You'll soon see how easy it is to get lost in the pace of such a lovely, quiet country town.

I have loved Mudgee for a long time, especially as it's so close to Sydney and you can stop off in the Blue Mountains on the way. Over the years Mudgee has changed remarkably, and there are so many cellar doors popping up every time I go back there. Last count was about 35! If you're a real wine connoisseur check out the smaller wineries that actually grow the grapes and make the wine on the premises. They really stand out from the masses, and you won't be sorry! Huntington and Pieter van Gent are great, but don't miss out on Burnbrae and my all-time favourite Thistle Hill. Both wineries are in a different valley on the Hill End side of town, and the rich soil gives them a unique flavour.
- Posted by: Matt on July 4, 2006 2:13 PM
I have four words for anybody going to Mudgee: DON'T MISS THISTLE HILL! It is Mudgee's only five-star winery (according to wine guru Robin Bradley) and uses only organic fruit grown in the family's own vineyard. It was also one of the first vineyards to be established in the area and has been operational for more than 20 years, which shows it's all about the wine - not the image. If you're passionate about wine, go there... go there now.

Good to hear all these great comments about Mudgee and surrounds. I have been travelling up there for a couple of years and just love the relaxed atmosphere of the place and the people. Even better I have recently discovered a great way to top up my cellar with my Mudgee favorites from Mudgee Boutique Wines www.mudgeeboutique.com.au who specialise only in Mudgee wines, you can even buy a mixed dozen! Can't wait to get up there again grab a coffee at the Butcher Shop and go into relax mode.

Whilst on a three week touring holiday in Australia from the U.K. last January/February we were able to pay an overnight visit to our friends Kaye & Ray Whitfield at Wombadah Guest House. We found Mudgee to be a delightful little town and Wombadah Guest House was superb with commanding views of the beautiful countryside. The wine was excellent as well!

Well, we have heard a lot about the Fantastic Mudgee Wine & Food. But has anyone seen any of the amazing creative talented Designers & Artists working from that town? Oopsidaisi- Absolutely gorgeous Clothing & Accessories.(See June Issue of Country Style Magazine)
Helen Doble- Fantastic Feltmaker
Joanna O'Brien - Innovative Jewellery Designs.
These are just a few, but there are dozens & dozens of creative people in Mudgee.
It is worth the trip just to pick up a Handmade Original Item, rarely found in the city!

I have just come back from Mudgee (up there via Rylstone) as my partner and i are very much wine enthusiasts! What we loved about Mudgee is the range of wines available. We went to the cellar door at Rylstone called Louee. Cute cellar door with great views, but the wines were something we wouldn't have expected (we were told they have a vineyard up on the mountains which is one of Australia's highest). Their riesling and pinot noir are incredible.
Then onto Mudgee we went to di Lusso for something different as well, Lowe Family Wines (were going to go to Poets Corner, but turned left to LFW instead - good move). I was told a couple of times that the best time to go up is September (apparently this is the month when they all have their functions).
After my experience, I would suggest to anyone to go up to Mudgee and taste some great wines - make sure you go through Rylstone as well - Louee and Beaurepaire Wines are stand out's as well. 3.5 hours with the new M7 - easy drive for a fun weekend!

Evanslea is more than a B&B, it is an experience to remember. Stepping into your cottage results in immediate satisfaction. The five star rating is an understatement. The cottages are exquisite. Large spas, privacy, beautiful decor, log fires, your own verandah with BBQ and much more. The breakfasts are to die for, so take an early morning walk or have a hit of tennis, a swim or something else that will help you work up an appetite. It is the type of place you want to come back to as it is tranquil and offers exceptional service.
- Posted by: Annette Andrews on July 18, 2006 10:50 PM
When our dear friends, Vicki and Andrew Hudson told us that they were buying a Bed and Breakfast in Mudgee I had no idea what to expect from the area as I had only passed through Mudgee on my way to Lightning Ridge. This unspoilt holiday destination is now my favourite place to "get away from it all" and we are frequent visitors to Evanslea.
Vick and Andrew are excellent hosts - everything has been thought of in the cottages, even the tiny bits and pieces one usually has to supply themselves, even in 5 star accommodation. The ambience is just magic, a little piece of heaven in a beautiful country town. Everything from the beautiful home cooked breakfasts which see you through until dinner, I might add, to the comfort and luxury of the cottages, complete with spas, robes, and a glass or two of port. Winter is enhanced with the lovely log fires to sit and relax by. "My" little river as I say restores peace and harmony to my busy city life and equals a few hours of meditation. There is so much to see around the district, restaurants a plenty, great food and good wine. We are welcome to bring our little dog to EvansLea so no pet boarding. I highly recommend this beautiful place to all who need to just "chill out and relax" for a few days. Congratulations Vick and Andrew on a dream, realised.
Sue and Allen shepherd.

I have just received a mixed case of Mudgee wines sent to me as a birthday gift. It was delivered directly to my door by Mudgee Boutique Wines, even with a birthday card in the box.What a fantastic gift! The wines are all very different so it's more like receiving 12 gifts in one box - hmm what to try next. If you can't get to Mudgee to stock up, this is the next best thing at www.mudgeeboutique.com

Bar Harbor, ME -- On August 18, 2009, several Acadia National Park employees were recognized for their "above and beyond" contributions to the park. All awards are given to employees who show exceptional dedication to and support of the park mission. Also included was a partner award, given this year to the MDI Search and Rescue (SAR) team. MDI SAR has been a steadfast partner of Acadia National Park for 25 years, providing assistance for an average 30 rescues each year. The work is hard, time consuming, and dangerous, but when the park calls for help, they drop what they are doing and respond. It would be hard to find a more dedicated group of men and women.
The George B. Dorr Award for permanent employee of the year went to park engineer Clay Gilley. He has overseen a tremendous volume of projects this year and has made a very significant contribution to the state of park facilities, including the Jordan Pond House bus stop construction and rehabilitation of buildings at the Schoodic Education and Research Center. His work has been accomplished to a high quality and within budget, and because much of the work was accomplished locally, non-construction costs were kept at a level lower than the NPS average. Without his extremely able professional services, the work would not be at such a high level of excellence.
The Ace Savage Award for seasonal employee of the year was awarded to Debra Schrader, protection ranger at the Isle au Haut section of Acadia. She does it all, from shingling roofs and clearing trails to law enforcement and fire duty. When a local home on Isle au Haut caught fire this summer and the town fire engines wouldn't start, Debra took the park fire engine and fire pump to the scene and immediately provided water from a nearby stream to extinguish the blaze. She also manages the park campground at Duck Harbor and supervises two seasonal rangers. Debra is truly the modern version of an old-time ranger, being responsible for every aspect of the operation at Isle au Haut.
The Champlain Award for volunteer of the year was given to Erica Ball, a Student Conservation Association intern who worked in the Resource and Visitor Protection division. Her primary MORE Acadia National Park Employees Recognized Page 2 assignment was to start a Jurisdictional Inventory, which is a compilation of documents and maps detailing legal jurisdiction, including laws and regulations which apply to Acadia National Park, land ownership, and easements, particularly along park boundaries. Erica did extensive research in the park and surrounding communities, which generated many reference maps and documents that will be useful for the whole park, as well as the Resource and Visitor Protection division. She was very dedicated to the project and produced a high-quality product.
In addition to the above awards, individual awards were given to many other dedicated Acadia National Park employees.

Votre titre Audible gratuit
The Girl Who Wasn't There
Lu par : Cameron Stewart
Durée : 5 h et 24 min
Prix : 20,44 €
9,95 € / mois après 30 jours. Résiliable à tout moment.
Sebastian von Eschburg, scion of a wealthy, self-destructive family, survived his disastrous childhood to become a celebrated if controversial artist. He casts a provocative shadow over the Berlin scene; his disturbing photographs and installations show that truth and reality are two distinct things.
When Sebastian is accused of murdering a young woman and the police investigation takes a sinister turn, seasoned lawyer Konrad Biegler agrees to represent him - and hopes to help himself in the process.
But Biegler soon learns that nothing about the case - or the suspect - is what it appears.
The new thriller from the acclaimed author of The Collini Case, The Girl Who Wasn't There is dark, ingenious and irresistibly gripping.
©2013 Ferdinand von Schirach and Piper Verlag GmbH (P)2015 Oakhill Publishing
"Written in a beautifully understated style that matches his protagonists' detached and rather abstract view of life.... It's an examination of the disconnection between truth and reality that is tantalising and disturbing in equal measure." (Laura Wilson, Guardian)
"Ferdinand von Schirach is one of Europe's most celebrated crime authors.... Well worth reading.... This is a sophisticated novel about a man whose emotional detachment is as chilly as it is destructive." (Joan Smith, Sunday Times)
"Ferdinand von Schirach's prose is elegant and unemotional...gripping and the story is intriguing and often disturbing." (Marcel Berlins, The Times)
"This is an effective riddle of a novel. Details accumulate, tensions build and misdirection abounds, while Anthea Bell's crisp translation accentuates von Schirach's cool, pointillist prose.... Perhaps the only secure verdict the novel delivers is that its author is one of the most distinctive voices in European fiction." (Daily Telegraph)

Life will always remain a strange thing…an enigma…the biggest variable in any one of our individual life's plots…filling it with both pain and beauty. We can experience death and new life all in the span of one week. We can reach the most glorious highs on some levels, while simultaneously experiencing the lowest of lows. Funny that. Funny using an expression like "isn't it funny" for something that's actually not "funny" at all, but rather difficult, bizarre or uncomfortable.
When the writer of Ecclesiastes says, "there is a time for everything", he makes it sound so neat in a way. Yes, he mentions things like a time to cry and a time to die; but it still sounds so ordered – like there is a rhythm even to those times, that they will follow on each other, that you will always be able to move from the one to the other. And yet, in our living life, we come to realise that those times aren't "neat" or "rhythmic", mostly they are intertwined – joy with tears, success with disappointment, and life with death. Which is so contra-instinctive for us – we WANT life to be more "reliable", more predictable. We NEED life to be simpler. We NEED to hold on to the belief that tomorrow will be different…will be better…will be more. But life continues on its "merry" way, and tomorrow usually ends up being the same as today – complicated. Which means that we can (and often do!) spend a lot of time questioning the meaning of our existence, the sense our living holds, the reason for our being. Getting so caught up in thinking about life that we don't live it. But, you might say, such a complicated mess is not worth calling life, never mind living it! And yet, it is what it is, and it remains so no matter our thoughts on the matter.
So why is it worth it? What is the significance of this quagmire? Where is God in all of this? "Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the surface of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what's going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise." – Annie Dillard "Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blending and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life." – John Muir
We should not strive for peace and calm and simple, for it is only in the difficulty and the chaos and the mess that we can plumb the depths of who we are. You cannot be truly brave and courageous without having felt fear tinge your being and overcoming it. You cannot truly live without confronting the complex reality that life is. "I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good, or make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to make you feel." – Gloria Naylor In the fullness of the total experience, in our giving ourselves over to every piece of it, in our looking every part of life and death straight in the eye and conquering it; therein lies living. For if you're not ready to die, then how can you live? So…hoohah! "To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go." – Mary Oliver

Preparedness Information
1. Emergency Preparedness – Emergency preparedness begins at the basic level: What should one do to prepare oneself? Assess your surroundings: what hazards do you face? Prepare a plan on how what to do in an emergency. Acquire items needed to sustain you such as food, water, flashlight, batteries, identification, medications, money, et cetera. Follow the same steps anytime you enter a new environment.
a. Personal Preparedness
- Know your surroundings
- Have a plan
- Have a kit
b. Campus Preparedness
- Know your location
- Know evacuation plans

Home to Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, The Louvre is the most famous museum in the world.
Since first opening its doors in 1793, the Louvre also has become the largest and most visited museum in the world. In 2014, more than 9.25 million people strolled its 15 acres to see of some of the world's greatest art, and the crowds are projected to increase to more than 12 million a year by 2025!
In Louvre: 400 Masterpieces, you get to experience 400 of the museum's extraordinary treasures in dazzling color with engaging commentary — without waiting online! (There are more than 3,500 works of art at The Louvre!)
This beautiful hardcover book with 544 pages showcases not only renowned works of art, but also lesser-known pieces that will surprise even the most astute art lovers.
With a foreword by the institution's former director, Henri Loyrette, the works are presented within the context of the Museum's departments: Near Eastern Antiquities; Egyptian Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculptures; Decorative Arts; Paintings; and Prints and Drawings.
Whether you are planning to travel to Paris or whether you want to savor each piece from the comfort of your favorite chair, Louvre: 400 Masterpieces is a great way to browse an incredible selection of works from this great museum.
The ninth and final chapter tells the story of this one-time imperial palace as seen through its architecture.
The Louvre was not originally built to house a museum; in fact, the structure was built some 600 years prior to its conversion into the museum it is today. In 1190, Parisians were concerned about the potential of invasion of their city from the north, as they feared the Vikings would cross the sea from Scandinavia and raid Paris.
The Louvre was built as a fortress to protect against these possible raids at the order of King Phillipe-Auguste. The Louvre was reconstructed in the 16th century to serve as a royal palace, and then, in 1793, it became a fine art museum.
With its appealing format and carefully selected images Louvre: 400 Masterpieces makes a perfect gift for Francophiles and art lovers.
This carefully curated collection also is a very thoughtful selection for anyone who is planning a trip to Paris and wants to get a good taste of what to expect at the world's most popular museum, as well as anyone who has been and didn't get enough of The Louvre (who can???).
And, it is definitely a must-have for anyone who wants to visit it any time, from any place!DETAILS
An important book which uncovers the history of travel writing before we learned to call...
It is connected to what I do as an architect, the beauty of drawing a line. Every building has character; to draw it is like drawing a face, the things that give it soul. If you draw something, it is fixed in your mind forever, it is a miracle.
— Matteo Pericoli, author Manhattan Unfurled
Pericoli's drawing is at once monumental and gentle. In Percoli's fine lines every building seems benign, and together the buildings seem almost to be swaying softly in a chorus line along the Hudson.
— The New Yorker
Seen through his eyes, Manhattan takes on the quality of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, a place that seems in the complete grip of rationality until no one is looking, at which point all the buildings start kibitzing with one another.
— Vogue
In an object described as a book only because it folds up to fit inside hard covers, Mr. Pericoli has drawn a two-sided, architecturally precise representation of Manhattan's perimeter. His objectives are serious, but his draftsmanship has a charming playfulness as well. (Just look at the Hudson and East Rivers' jaunty waves.) Yes, the twin towers are forever preserved here, on the opening page.
— Los Angeles Times
Pericoli's lines have the delicacy of Mozart, but his masses have the suave rhythms of Ellington.
— from the introductory essay by Paul Goldberger, Pulitzer Prize-winner for Distinguished Criticism
This is such a cool book — really more a work of art — with a such an incredible backstory:
Matteo Pericoli, who trained as an architect in Milan, came to New York City in 1995, just days before the biggest snowstorm of the decade. The sense of the city in its wake - especially the silence - remained in his mind. He experienced similar feeling taking photographs of Riverside Drive from the Circle Line ferry, and decided to transpose them into a line drawing.
Pericoli decided to draw all of Manhattan.
Well, almost. He drew the entire West Side of Manhattan, from Spuyten Duyvil to the Battery. Pericoli made a line drawing in black ink of the way the city looks from the Hudson River, and he did it on a single, thirty-seven-foot- long roll of white paper.
He started the drawing in May of 1998, working nights and weekends. Until he finished, a year later, he kept the paper rolled up on a table in his apartment, on the Upper West Side, exposing only a few feet at a time. He would draw six or seven blocks, then roll the paper forward, covering what he had just done. He worked like the scribes who write Torah scrolls by hand: he never erased, he never changed anything once he had done it, and he never looked back at his work after he finished a section. He did not see the entire drawing until it was completed.
The idea, he says, came to him when he was riding his bicycle to work through Riverside Park. "I saw all of these wonderful buildings on Riverside Drive that have such character, and I wanted to draw them," he said. "At first, I thought I would only do a drawing of Riverside Drive. Then one day I decided to go on the Circle Line, and it was a revelation to me. It is the most democratic view -- what you see is what you get." Pericoli realized that he would not be happy unless he drew it all, right down to the Battery.
He took two more trips on the Circle Line, standing on the deck and shooting a photograph of the Manhattan riverfront every six or seven blocks. Then, deciding that he needed a broader perspective, he traded in his bicycle for a motorcycle and started going across the river to shoot from up and down the New Jersey waterfront. In all, he took more than four hundred photographs before he was ready to start drawing. (From New Yorker article by Paul Goldberger. See Tidbits below for full story and others.)
More than two years, fifteen hundred buildings, and nineteen bridges later, the two 37-foot-long scrolls of the East and West Sides of the Manhattan skyline were completed. Manhattan Unfurled was published in 2001.
In this book version, Manhattan Unfurled comes to you in an elegant slipcase that contains a 24-panel, 22-foot-long accordion fold-out that displays the entire East and West Side in Pericoli's drawings, one on each side.
An essay about the Manhattan Unfurled drawings by Paul Goldberger — who the Huffington Post calls "the leading figure in architecture criticism", is a contributing editor for Vanity Fair and former architecture critic for The New Yorker — accompanies the book in a separate pamphlet.
Isn't the Manhattan Unfurled backstory incredible?! Just wait until you see it!
In my mind's eye, I can just see Matteo unwinding the roll of paper to sketch memories from his most recent exploration along the Hudson. How exciting it must have been to see the progress each day of creating the skyline of Manhattan in your living room!
Manhattan Unfurled is a one-of-a-kind creation and an entirely unique work of art. It also is a playful, yet eloquent, tribute to the historic and beloved Manhattan skyline.
If you love Manhattan, this gem is one to be cherished for a very long time!

Books in Brief: Manhattan Unfurled —The New York Times Book Review
A good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub.
— James Joyce, Ulysses
Looking for that one place to quench your thirst for history, legendary writers, beautiful sights, warm and wonderful people, and, of course, a good pint?
Then what better place than Dublin, Ireland? And, if you can't make the trip right now, or if you are planning a trip, then what better guide than The Historic Pubs of Dublin?
Especially when notable Irishman and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt, serves as your guide to tell and show you the rich story of Dublin through its most historic pubs, which date back hundred of years.
I have to share that my husband, Bill, was executive producer of this wonderful show, and I can't tell you how incredibly warm, funny and gracious Frank McCourt was! He was the perfect host and guide to Dublin, its history and its pubs — many he had spent a great deal of time in while a student at Trinity College.
Frank passed in 2009, just one year after doing this show. The world lost a very talented and gentle soul, with an impish smile, incredibly wry and quick wit and an unforgettable twinkle in his eyes. He was very proud of being able to share Dublin with others via The Historic Pubs of Dublin, and I know you will enjoy it as much as he did making it for you!
In addition to the visiting and learning the stories of Dublin's legendary pubs, The Historic Pubs of Dublin will be take you to many of Dublin's must-see attractions, such as Trinity College, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Dublin Writer's Museum, Jameson Distillery, Guinness Brewery, Grafton Street and the city's beautiful parks.
Frank McCourt's informative, yet whimsical style, is perfect for sharing valuable insights into Irish culture and history, as well as telling the history of Dublin and Ireland through the lens of its historic pubs — and its literary masters such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan, who were frequent visitors.
He will take you to visit Kavanagh's, the gravediggers' bar, (John) Mulligan's, a tabernacle to the serious drinker, and to the musical Blue Light nestled in the foothills of Dublin. He will invite you to share a bit of 'craic' at Doheny and Nesbitt, listen to Dublin's finest Irish traditional music at O'Donoghue's, then cap off your tour at the 800+ year-old Brazen Head which, according to McCourt, "...doesn't look a day over 400."
The Historic Pubs of Dublin truly is an entertaining and enlightening look at legendary Irish pubs — that still are Dublin's most popular, hundreds of years after they first opened their doors — as well as the city's and Ireland's history and related historical settings.
This 60-minute DVD is a great trip for the armchair traveler, and it definitely should be required viewing before your first (or next) trip to the Emerald Isle. Sláinte mhaith!If you like where The Historic Pubs of Dublin can take you, then be sure to check out our entire Oh! The Places You Can Go! collection!

The RISE Fall 2018 semester begins September 4. The 10-week course I am facilitating is "Taking Better Photos Using Your Eyes (Photo Composition)." The class is limited to 15 students.
This class is the beginning of a two-year Photography Program for RISE students. The program will consist of four consecutive semesters, with each semester covering a major area of photography skills. Each semester builds on the previous semester's work.
In this first-semester class, you will learn the elements of a great photograph, how to look for and identify those elements in the world, and then practice taking your own great photographs.
This first semester is about seeing the world differently, becoming and being more mindful and present in your world, and using your camera to practice capturing special moments.
This first semester is not about camera settings or photo editing. This is about taking better photos because of how you see and experience your world.

BEIRUT — He loves sushi, AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades.
He could be killed at any moment but vows to marry "a beautiful, righteous Muslim girl" as soon as he finds one.
He proclaims a "love for justice" but defends beheadings, battlefield executions and sectarian killing. He scorns democracy and extols a fundamentalist interpretation of sharia, or Islamic law.
Welcome to the virtual world of Chechclearr, the Internet handle of a self-described Islamic militant who says he is fighting as an Islamist rebel in Syria but also has time to post a copious amount of pictures and comments on the Internet. Although his identity cannot be independently verified, the many images he has posted appear authentic.
Militants in Syria have long made extensive use of social media, releasing statements on
Observers say the influx of Web-savvy volunteers from the West may have resulted in more non-Arabic content and an emphasis on personal experience.
"If these fighters are twentysomethings who have grown up using the Internet, and they have access where they are now, why wouldn't they do so?" said Aron Lund, editor of the Carnegie Endowment's Syria in Crisis site. "That said, yes, I think some of the accounts may be fake or post some fake information — like all across the Internet."
The prolific Chechclearr seems to relish his role as a self-appointed apologist and propagandist for Al Qaeda-linked factions that are now among the most dominant rebel militias in Syria, drawing thousands of non-Syrians into their ranks from as far away as Europe and the United States.
"Media is half of jihad," Chechclearr explains in response to one of many questions on the Ask.fm social media network, where curious followers from around the globe have posted a deluge of queries. The running commentary has become a kind of "Ask a Militant" forum.
Chechclearr is deliberately vague about his background, calling himself a "twentysomething" fighter who went to Syria more than a year ago because of religious faith, his "love" of justice and battlefields, his concern for the Syrian people and his apparent disaffection with the ways of the West. He writes in three languages — English, Dutch and Turkish — but in Arabic can spout only basic religious phrases. He is not Chechen, despite the moniker, he says. There are vague hints of previous military training.
From photos posted online, he appears to be a tall, thin man with brown hair and a beard. He seems to be a convert to Islam who lived much of his life in Holland, though he says he was not born there and has no intention of returning.
"Too cold and the people hate Islam and Muslims in general," Chechclearr explains.
Syria and jihad have brought him inner contentment, he writes. He says he has often "struggled" with his faith.
"This is the best life I have ever lived," he says when asked what he would do if he had to leave Syria. "I guess [I'd] be depressed somewhere in a ditch."
One appalled writer labels him a "monster" and assails Chechclearr and his "like-minded, disgustingly violent brothers" as a blight on humanity.
"Wait till you meet Bashar al-Assad," responds Chechclearr, referring to the Syrian president, whom antigovernment rebels have been fighting to topple since early 2011.
In his wide-ranging posts, Chechclearr generally maintains a cordial, composed tone, even when talking about killing. When one irate reader employs a profanity to assail Chechclearr and his ilk, the fighter scolds him: "Please mind your language."
He seems unfazed by battlefield executions and beheadings, the grisly trademark of many Syrian Islamic militant groups, who relish posting gruesome online videos of slaughtered enemies' severed heads. One commenter labels beheading "barbaric" and a "PR disaster" for the rebels.
"Wait till you see Bashars torture chambers," is the riposte from Chechclearr. "You would wish that there was someone that would just behead you instead."
On the lighter side, he comments liberally on food, women and jihad couture, explaining that he mostly spurns the black balaclava favored by many foreign fighters.
"Masks are getting a bit boring these days don't you think?" he responds to a questioner asking whether he is worried about his face being plastered all over the Web.
Sushi is his favorite food, but he also gushes about Turkish cuisine and homemade Syrian fare. He would get married "the same day" if he found a pious Muslim "girl," but traditional Syrian families are wary of "outsiders" like him.
Despite his often jocular tone, Chechclearr is aware that foreign intelligence agencies are probably watching. When one questioner says he wants to go off to jihad in Syria and asks for counsel, Chechclearr says he does not answer such questions online. "Be very careful with these thoughts on the Internet," he admonishes.
A persistent interrogator probing into Chechclearr's origins is chided: "You want my bankcard number aswell? Hahaha. I can't give my real name, age and other information — because of my family and my background."
In November, it appears, Chechclearr's
"They are cowards, always looking for ways to stop the truth from coming out," Chechclearr says of the Internet censors. Previously, he complained, his Twitter account had been blocked.
Despite his penchant for documentation, Chechclearr says his jihad duties always take precedence. If forced to give up either his Austrian Steyr AUG assault rifle or his Galaxy Note 3 smartphone, he says:
"Smartphone, without a doubt."

Mexico Supreme Court overturns drugs lord's release
Mexico's Supreme Court has overturned a decision by an appeals court to free one of the country's first drug cartel chiefs three months ago.
Rafael Caro Quintero served 28 of a 40-year sentence for murdering a US agent, but a judge ruled he should have been tried by a state, not a federal court.
The latest decision means Caro Quintero, who has vanished since his release in August, is a fugitive.
US authorities are offering a reward for information leading to his capture.
The US has reacted angrily to Caro Quintero's early release and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) recently posted its $5m (£3m) reward offer.
'Internationally protected'
In its ruling overturning the decision, the Mexican Supreme Court said that the DEA agent who was murdered in 1985, Enrique Camarena, had been "an internationally protected person, given that he had been officially recognised by Mexico and the United States, as an intergovernmental agent".
The judges also ordered Caro Quintero's immediate detention, although his whereabouts are currently unknown.
He was one of three leaders of the once powerful Guadalajara Cartel, which at its height in the 1980s, was believed to be responsible for more than 70% of the cocaine smuggled into the US.
After the murder of Enrique Camarena, the authorities arrested the three men and the cartel fractured, the main part forming what is now the Sinaloa Cartel run by the world's most wanted drug lord, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.
The killing strained US-Mexico ties and changed the war on drugs trafficking.
Caro Quintero had been arrested in Costa Rica amid a massive manhunt for cartel leaders.
He could have faced other charges or possible extradition to the US had he not been released.

The latest, very short novel from the French Echenoz profiles the eccentric genius of electrical engineering, Nikola Tesla.
It follows two other fictional treatments of real people: Ravel (2007) and Running (2009), about the Czech runner Zátopek. Tesla (1856-1943) is called Gregor here. His early days as a Serb in southeastern Europe are dealt with briskly. He's "precociously unpleasant," and from the start his projects are large-scale, even grandiose. He's 28 when he leaves for America and is hired by Edison as a troubleshooter; he invents a generator for alternating current which Edison embraces though refuses to pay him for. Soon after, the majority shareholders of his own company stiff him after his invention of an arc lamp. Clearly, Gregor is no businessman. He goes to work for Westinghouse, Edison's rival, at Western Union; his lectures on alternating current draw huge audiences and make him a celebrity. Yet he remains intensely private and has extraordinary quirks. He is obsessed by the number three. He is beset by phobias: germs, hair, jewelry. Women adore him, but he stays celibate, reserving his affection for pigeons. Yes, dirty old pigeons—only with them is there real communication. This is a wholly unsentimental portrait of a freaky inventor. Our sympathy is not required; all Echenoz requires is our attention, which he secures through his lapidary prose, buffed to a high gloss in this excellent translation. The omniscient narrator shows Olympian detachment coupled with wry humor. Gregor's ups and downs continue. He lives large at the Waldorf, but his latest patron J.P. Morgan turns him loose after Marconi appropriates his patent for radio, the result of a dirty trick perpetrated by Gregor's nemesis, a nobody called Napier. This key development is merely outlined, a disappointment for readers hungry for dramatic flourishes. At the end of his long life, all Gregor has are his pigeons, and even they will turn on him.By design, a novel of surfaces. They glitter, but don't expect more.
