But can't more be done? Whenever I see one of those lists, I keep looking for suggestions for actions that the city, state, or corporation can take. Because there are so many things that are outside of our control as individuals, and that have a huge impact on the environment – the way our cities or workplaces are designed, for instance. These things suggest actions that have to be taken at the governmental level.
Where are the guidelines for governmental action to save the planet? Why are municipalities let off the hook? I'd like to see a set of comprehensive legislative initiatives that will enable cities or states to reduce their carbon emissions, reduce water and energy use, decrease solid waste – and all the other good things that we are usually urged to do on the household level.
Below, reflecting my own priorities, is the beginning of such a list. Many of them are actions being taken in some places already (like plastic bag bans) that I think should be more widespread. Maybe most Mayors (Governors, Congressional Reps…) just don't know where to start?
1. Build up the public transportation infrastructure, and subsidize it heavily. Make buses, trains and trams so convenient, frequent and cheap that it won't make sense for people to drive in from the suburbs or within city limits. Put bicycle lanes everywhere, and create pedestrian only zones.
2. Prioritize open public space over parking lots. Fill these spaces with benches, native trees, shrubs and plants, playgrounds and public art. Keep them clean and inviting.
3. Ban plastic grocery bags. And any other plastics that can't be efficiently and locally recycled into their original forms. Regulate the types, materials and quantities of packaging that businesses can introduce in your city/county/state. Mandate that secondary packaging (crates, palettes, et c) must be sustainable and reusable. Single use, disposable packaging is a poor use of resources.
4. Bigger, better bottle bills – to make manufacturers responsible for the waste they produce. Better yet, mandate that beverage bottles be reusable, the way they were before we entered the throwaway era.
5. Introduce intensive recycling, so that everything not reusable, and not eliminated through source reduction, can be reclaimed. If the waste stream is treated as a resource, there will be a decreased need for extraction/production of raw materials as well as landfill space.
6. Provide substantial financial incentives for energy efficiency so home owners, landlords and businesses can insulate older buildings and convert heating and cooling systems to more efficient and renewable technology. Municipal buildings should be the first to adopt green systems and practices.
Like I said, it's just a beginning. Feel free to add to the list, make changes. And forward it to your local representatives. Maybe the more such lists they see, the more likely they'll be to adopt (or legislate) some green practices. It worked for me.

We returned from a lovely trip to Deal on Sunday. I have been having so much fun going back through all of the photos we took. And we took a lot! Which is partially why it has taken me almost a week to edit them down and get this post written. Deal is a small town on the Southeastern coast of England, about two hours (by train) from London. With Deal as our home base, we took a couple of day trips to Dover, an easy 15 minute train ride away. Our first day trip was to the White Cliffs. Magical. That's the word that continues to pop in to my head as I think back to our hike that day. It was a breezy morning and the mist in the air made it all the more surreal. As you looked out in to the distance, it was impossible to make out where the water ended and the sky began. It was quite humbling to be in the presence of such a beautiful sight. I remember feeling so small compared to those majestic cliffs.
We visited Dover Castle on the second go-round, and we just sort of let Josephine run free once we got inside. Most "rooms" in the castle were staged with reproductions of what one might have found hundreds of years ago. You know...swords and cannons and other things that are just begging for toddlers to touch. ;) The best part, though? They were all glued down! Ha-HA. So our little travel buddy could touch everything to her heart's content. The whole time, I couldn't help but think back this trip. Castles are just so cool. Plain and simple.
The rest of the trip was spent relaxing in our flat right off of Deal's High Street and just exploring the quaint little town. I must say, Airbnb is definitely the way to go when you throw a child in to the mix. Having an entire two-bedroom place to call "home" made the trip so much more enjoyable. I don't think we will ever stay in a hotel again. The beach was a block away from our flat, so we spent a lot of time there. It was a rock beach and unlike anything I have ever seen. We usually aren't ones to bring home shells or things of that sort, but we ended up with a couple of really cool rocks in our suitcase at the end of the weekend!
I loved the charm of the town. All of the little alleyways and flower boxes and brick everywhere. It was just what you would expect (and hope for) from a coastal town. This was the first time we had taken a vacation as a family of three without other family members. It was such a great retreat for us. The transition back to normal life was a bit tough, but we dealt with it the only way you really can. By thinking about the next adventure we will take together!

When Designers Were BraveObelisk Home
At a time when posting every detail of life, over-sharing and inundating our peers with hash tags, blog posts, e-blasts and TMI– how could anyone's personal decorating DNA ever be considered cutting edge, contentious or controversial?
It takes a lot to raise an eyebrow these days, especially when it pertains to interior design–our most personal form of self-expression. There was a time when interior decorating could and did cause quite a stir, long before the interior design industry had style influencers, style spotters or thought leaders. There was a day when the interior design profession was entirely new and those inventing the profession had completely original, innovative and provocative ideas.
Elsie De Wolf, considered to have invented the profession of decorating, was first a powerhouse socialite, at a time when women–especially well-heeled women, didn't have professions, much less bill their peers for services. Elsie encouraged clients to clear out their cloying but conventional Victorian clutter and lighten up their dull, dreary spaces with light color, mirrors and freshly painted furniture. "I opened the doors and windows of America, and let the sunshine in!" claimed Elsie.
Another controversial, blue blood decorator, Dorothy Draper, possessed what was considered to be a rare combination of both brains and bravado. Her stunning spaces were bursting with strong color and bold high-pastiche architecture. Glamorous, over-scaled cabbage roses danced against black and white marble floors. The self-assured Dorothy was as confident as she was striking, insisting on decorating her way or no way—shocking some, but ultimately turning brisk opinions into classic style statements that are still admired and immolated today.
Jean Michel Frank created modern, minimal architecture then surprised everyone by layering his elegantly lean spaces with maximalist décor. The French born designer brought a cavalier and chic sophistication to interior design with his use of sumptuous materials like parchment and shagreen he wrapped around tables and desks, sheepskin clad club chairs and arresting modern art. His unexpected design philosophy was a dichotomy of clean and curated, mind blowing at the time and to this day, the reason we have come to love spaces with tension.
Albert Hadley's design-minded opposite and longtime business partner, Sister Parish, is also one of our courageous design favorites. This strong willed tastemaker popularized American Country décor; insisting style and comfort could live happily ever after. While helping Jackie Kennedy redecorate the White House, Sister managed to bring handmade quilts, rag rugs and miles of floral prints into the formal and mix—adeptly but controversially turning the "nations home" into a family home.
Each of these early design pioneers were daring because of their unique and visionary ideas. With conviction, clarity and consistency, each of these design heroes ignored the conventional thinking of their day and brought a new perspective to their new profession.
Without the support and influence that designers rely on today, these fearless decorators brought about lasting change. They doggedly, stubbornly and passionately expressed their opinions about lifestyles, décor, good-taste, excessiveness, minimalism, craftsmanship and modernity without inspiration from trade magazines, websites, licensing contracts, social media, blog posts, tweets or Pinterest boards. They were instinctive, plucky, originals– brave enough to just be themselves.
And that turned out to be more than enough.

Think of how many times a day you search to find things. Your customers are searching just as much.
Search Engine Optimization is the fundamental marketing strategy to any digital or traditional marketing campaign. If you're not getting discovered on search engines, then your business is invisible for all intents and purposes. If your business is invisible, how will you grow awareness for it in a world where everyone is constantly searching for everything? How much profit would your business make if it would have search visibility for none branded terms such as "South Florida Italian restaurant," "affordable auto repairs in Nashville," or "San Diego orthodontist?" Remember, everyone is searching. What are you doing to get discovered?

With my fresh "Look Of the Week" I would like to show you some fashion trends from my '90s childhood, which you need to start wearing again.
I'm feeling a little bit nostalgic yet… 😆
The '90s were a great time for pop culture and rock music. So take a nostalgic walk down memory lane, like I did and check out some of the hottest items I prepared for my "Look Of The Week".
The anti-fashion trend of the 90s attitude culminated in grunge style. One of the most favoured looks of the decade were grunge looks. Grunge is an edgy and attitude-filled fashion. In the recent season, the return of grunge style has been evident on the streets. From ripped denim and baggy tees to plaid shirts and layered slip dresses, essential grunge items are on-trend once again.
Stretching back to the grunge days when Nirvana was king, a graphic tee (band tees) and a unbuttoned long sleeve shirt over or tied around the waist was one of the ultimate fashion trends of the 90s and a great styling trick (bonus points if yours was plaid). 😉
Denim really made a splash in the 70s but by the fashion trends of the 90s they'd been ripped, dyed, cut, and embellished. Cuffing them became an easy way to style (or alter the hem) with little effort
Military has made its way back and what better way to embrace it than by sporting some commanding combat boots! This black pair is ready to put you in charge, in any outfit from daytime to night. The combat boots go with everything. Whether it's dresses, pantsuits or lavish outerwear, they instantly add that cool touch to whatever you're wearing. They will edge up any outfit, while also keeping your feet warm.
When it came to accessories in the '90s, chokers were "it". These collar-like necklaces sat tightly around the neck and added an edgy element to outfits. While many were made of stretchy plastic and designed to resemble a tattoo, others boasted a fabric construction and featured charms and jewels. In 2017, chokers are well and truly back in fashion and can provide a range of outfits with a chic touch by the fashion trends of the 90s.
I realized that the cool thing about this kind of chauffeur's cap trend is to wear it in an unexpected way. Matching it with a grunge look is stylish but wearing it with a elegant mini skirt and romantic blouse is refreshing.
What do you remember if you grew up in the 90s? Do you remember some fashion trends of the 90s, which I don't show today by my "Look Of The Week".
Then leave a comment with your favs ones. Just to keep up more styling inspiration for the current fall season, because "Smells Like A Teenage Spirit"… !!!! 🙄
Stay tuned … I will show you how I wore every item!
Have a lovely Day!!!
Can I simply say what a aid to find somebody who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know learn how to deliver a problem to light and make it important. More folks have to read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre no more fashionable because you undoubtedly have the gift.

Our Lord's quickening is quickening on the corner of Lincoln and Main!
Thanks to our Project Team (Jan, Carl, Dale, Pat, and Rick), our Blessings Campaign is expanding the wineskin at a glorious pace and efficiency!
Our partnership to bring relief to Joplin through Pastor Cliff Mansley and New Creation Church has generated leaven that is infecting our family of faith with expanding fidelities!
As I've become fond of saying, I feel like we've grabbed onto the coattail of the Holy Spirit for a great ride to holy communion and intimacy with Him and His!
Our fledgling First Response Team is preparing for more calls/compellings; and while we will continue our partnership with Joplin's NCC which remains a big part of our call/compelling to establish/expand our FRT, we will be concentrating on responding to such events within a 500 mile radius of Belvidere within 24-48 hours with prayer, presence, muscle, food, water, toiletries, First-Aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, S&R, $, and the like.
Indeed, part of our Blessings Campaign now includes plans to build a magnormous closet in my study to store the aforementioned for immediate aka "first" response; and it's not too early for you to start helping us stock up. Just call us (815-544-6402) and ask when you can drop off more stuff! Regularly!!!
Whenever an event occurs, we will sound the alert via our family of faith's e-mail list - and if you're not on it, give us your address right now to stay posted and receive more inspirations/indigestions than you can... - and head out.
Get this!
One of our elders just purchased his own truck to be prepared!
And if you have been especially blessed to bless, do not hesitate to come see and pray with me about a special opportunity or two. Uh, try to call ahead so we can spend quality time together. If not, just come!
Yes, the quickening is quickening on the corner of Lincoln and Main and you are a big part of it/Him!

White Hart Link – new project launch
Walking in the beautiful Blackmore Vale in North Dorset will soon become even more rewarding!
April 27th saw the launch of an exciting new project – the White Hart Link – a 50 mile/80 km walking route linking the five Towns of North Dorset – Gillingham, Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton, Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury – using footpaths and quiet lanes.
Developed from the vision of Janet Swiss (artist and local resident) it is hoped that the White Hart Link will attract visitors, support local business and encourage enterprise. Led by volunteers, the project forms the basis for community groups to feed into and benefit from activities along the route.
Why the White Hart Link? The Blackmore Vale was once known as the Vale of the White Hart. Legend has it that a white stag that was protected by Henry lll was killed by a bailiff of Blackmore Forest. He was fined and imprisoned and the Vale paid a fine of White Hart Silver for many years
it is hoped that sections of the route will be 'adopted' by communities through which it passes, with each local group encouraging the involvement of all ages and abilities, and young people in particular to care about and protect their environment, and develop rural skills.
Future developments will involve producing walk leaflets, linking the route with local points of interest/viewpoints/National Trails/heritage assets/art/businesses/B&Bs/etc .
The launch event itself involved Mayors and Councillors from the participating Towns, who watched as pupils from Stalbridge Primary School fixed the first route markers along the stretch they will adopt. The first leg which will be 'open for business' will be that between Stalbridge and Gillingham, which is planned to be finished to tie in with the Gillingham Walking Festival, on September 3rd this year. Working with the Dorset Countryside Rangers, it is envisaged that the whole walking route will established and 'route-marked' within four years.
For further information, or to become involved, please contact Jan Wardell (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Sullivan Carson, a textile company with a plant in York that has been in business for about 60 years, has laid off dozens of employees and could be in the process of shutting down the York plant, former employees and state employment officials said Wednesday.
Political and economic officials in both the city of York and York County said they remain in the dark on the status of the company.
About 20 employees applied for unemployment benefits Wednesday at the Rock Hill Workforce Center of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce, telling intake workers that the plant was closing, center director Annie Reid said.
Center officials contacted the rapid response team of the state's employment office to get information from plant management, she said, but state officials have not received any information from Sullivan Carson officials.
"There were so many people in here that we had to process them in groups," Reid said. "They said they were told by their employer they did not have jobs anymore."
It is unclear exactly how many people are employed by Sullivan Carson. The most recent survey done by York County Economic Development had the number of employees at about 50, said Mark Farris, county economic development director.
Steven Lockridge, 21, who said he had worked at the plant as a materials handler and packer for about a year and half until he was let go Tuesday, said Wednesday his father has been at the plant since 1983 and will be kept on until April.
Lockridge said employees were told the company was shutting down because it had lost a large customer.
Lockridge, who applied for unemployment benefits Wednesday, said employees were told Monday by department supervisors of the problems, then told Tuesday the jobs were gone.
"They told us they were closing the doors and not to come back," Lockridge said. "Right now, I need a job."
Sullivan Carson is a private company that makes narrow woven and knitted elastic and non-elastic fabrics, according to the National Textile Association website.
Lockridge said elastics made at the plant were used for such items as brassiere straps, logging companies and military parachutes.
Staff at the Sullivan Carson plant in York on Wednesday and at the company's New Jersey offices declined to discuss layoffs or the status of the plant over the telephone, referring all questions to plant manager Jim Carson.
Repeated attempts to reach Jim Carson Wednesday were unsuccessful, as were attempts to reach management at the company's New Jersey offices.
At around 4 p.m. Wednesday at the plant on Kings Mountain Street near the U.S. 321 Bypass, the front door was locked and just three vehicles were in the parking lot. No one answered the door at plant offices.
The layoffs and uncertain future of the plant surprised city and county leaders.
York City Manager Charles Helms, York Mayor Eddie Lee and York Area Chamber of Commerce head Paul Boker all said officials had not been told anything about the status of the Sullivan Carson plant.
York County Manager Jim Baker and county economic development chief Farris also had not been notified. Baker said it is rare that a company that was laying off employees or having any type of cutbacks or potential closings would not alert local government officials.
York County was once a center of textile manufacturing, with tens of thousands of workers at plants in Rock Hill, York, Clover and Fort Mill.
But, citing rising costs and problems competing in the marketplace, some companies have closed plants over the past decades, while others shifted production to foreign countries to take advantage of cheap labor.

Who We Are
The Gumbo yearbook chronicles the entire academic year at LSU in more than 300 pages of full color. In words and especially photos, the Gumbo shows the people, places, and events that make each year unique. In addition to formal portraits of schools and departments, the book contains hundreds of snapshots of students with their friends and dozens of pages showcasing organizations. The book is mailed to buyers in early fall.
Find more info on the Gumbo yearbook at LSUReveille.com/Gumbo/.
History of The Gumbo
The Gumbo yearbook has chronicled each year in the life of Louisiana State University in photographs and in words since 1900. Only one year, the 1918-1919 school year, was missed, when wartime pressures caused the cancellation of the book. A magazine version, called Gumbo Magazine, chronicled the 1992-93 and 1993-94 school years because revenues were insufficient for a hardbound book. A student referendum increasing the yearbook fee brought back the hardbound version in 1995.

I have been stuck in this prolonged period of choosing to read non-fiction books only. That period officially ended today when I picked up from the bookstore the next six books that I plan on reading. Of the six books that I purchased, five of them are fiction. Two of the books are classics of fiction that I am a little bit embarrassed to admit that I am just now reading.
Here they are:
A Bend in the River: V.S. Naipaul: In my latest round of reading books on the Congo, I realized that up until now, I have neglected to read the most important fiction work ever situated in the Congo. I started it approximately an hour and a half ago and have worked my way through the first 55 pages. I was hooked at the first line, "The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it." The fact that I have become so engrossed in a book featuring a shopkeeper as the main character who passes the first 55 pages of the book not doing much speaks to the power of the writing and the character development. Simply wonderful. I am contemplating staying up all night to read the entire thing.
A Burnt-Out Case: Graham Greene: Again, this book I also realized that I needed to read in my latest round of Congo non-fiction reading. Haven't started it yet, but a book that takes place at a Congolese leper colony I am sure will hold my attention.
Beneath the Lion's Gaze, Maaza Mengiste: I am a sucker for the next big fiction writer to come from the African continent. In fact, new African fiction writers are about the only type of fiction that I have really delved into in the past few years. The author Uwem Akpan, who wrote the beautiful collection of short stories told from the point of view of African children Say You Are One of Them, has given this writer praise so I am expecting good things.
Bloodroot, Amy Greene: Yes, I am capable of reading fiction books that do not take place on the African continent and this book proves it. It takes place in rural Appalachia and has something to do with some tragedy that haunts a family through several generations, and I have heard good things, so I am taking a chance. The author is from East Tennessee and still resides there, which gives me much respect for her because I appreciate the tradition of writers who stay in the place that they write about instead of running off to large metropolitan areas (or living in those places all along and never really encountering rural America in an authentic way) and think they still possess a clear insight into the goings on of rural America.
For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemingway: Nope, I haven't ever read it. Yes, I realize that admission is probably embarrassing. It and Death in the Afternoon are the two Hemingway books that I never swallowed, so I figured that since I was going to Southern Spain in a few months I was long overdue to actually read at least one of them. The Spanish Civil War sounds a bit more interesting to me than bullfighting, so that is why I went with this one.
The Ornament of the World, Maria Rosa Menocal: Of course one non-fiction book had to make my list. This one discusses the tolerant religious society of Southern Spain in the Medieval Period. I want to understand all of those alhambras and alcazares that I am looking at when I go there, so I thought this might be a good place to start.

The Parish Church of St Vincent de Paul is situated in St James' Street, Liverpool L1 5JP
and is now served by the clergy from the Metropolitan Cathedral.
|Vigil Mass
|Mass at Missionaries of Charity Convent, 55 Seel Street
The Grade II* listed church was built in 1855-57 to replace a temporary wooden structure erected by the largely Irish dockland community. It is the earliest of several Liveprool churches designed by Edward Welby Pugin, who had an office in the city. The area surrounding the church was devastated by wartime bombing and later by slum clearance. In 1990 the congregation having dwindled, the church was closed, but following an offer by English Heritage of grant aid for roof repairs, it re-opened in 1997. The programme of repairs still continues.
The plan of the church is conventional, with a broad nave of five bays, side aisles, a west gallery with a narthex below and a large chancel and flanking chapels. The delicate iron and timber bellcote perched on the west gable is visible from afar. The interior is richly furnished with light flooding in from the large east and west windows and from the clerestory. The arcades have octagonal columns with carved capitals and angels' head corbels. The sanctuary has a sumptuous alabaster reredos designed by Pugin in 1867, with in individual niches a continuous row of statues carved by William Farmer.

New SEED Blog: Next Generation Energy
SEED Magazine, the parent of the ScienceBlogs' network, has just launched a new group blog all about alternative energy, something we know a little about here at TreeHugger. It's called Next Generation Energy (not the most original name ever, guys) and will be co-authored by at least 7 people, many from inside the ScienceBlogs family, and a few from outside ("from journalism, marine biology, banking, and engineering").
Like good neighbors, we want to welcome them to our little blogging ecosystem and wish them the best of luck. Energy - the clean kind - is an especially important topic, and the more people in general know about it, the better. If you pay them a visit, say TreeHugger sent you! Next Generation Energy

NORTH BRUNSWICK - THE boy is about 4, and he is wiggly in the way that children are when they are hungry and must wait for food. He hoists himself to his knees. He leans over the table. He spars with a sibling. He fiddles with the condiments until they are placed beyond his reach. He plays with the silverware.
Finally, the waiter approaches with a tray and the boy's dark eyes grow wide. He looks at his parents, and when they nod, his smile shows two rows of small, perfect teeth. The waiter puts several dishes on the table, and then, before the boy, he sets a platter upon which rests a hollow cone, broad at its base and nearly a foot tall. Deep bronze with touches of lighter tan beneath, it is a thing of drama and suspense until the boy reaches out, breaks off a piece and in a sharp cry that carries through the restaurant, says, "I'll eat it all!"
Fifteen minutes later, as we are scavenging for the last crumbs of our appetizers at our table, we see that he has eaten his entire dosa and has settled into sleepiness while his family finishes dinner.
At the door, more families wait to be seated. And outside, couples wait on the sidewalk beneath the harsh fluorescence or in their cars. All are Indian. One man volunteers that he has driven down from Edison, where there are many Indian restaurants but this one, he says, has the best taste.
The Dosa Grill, open about three years, already feels like an institution. The floors are worn, the laminate tables sleek from use. The mood inside is of a house full of regular customers for whom cone-shaped dosas are an everyday occurrence. Service is friendly and quick, portions are generous, prices are downright cheap and the food, with its South Indian vegetarian specialties expertly done, indeed has the "best taste."Continue reading the main story
This success is a family affair. Murugan Perumalsamy, 28, who trained at hotel school in India, was lured to the United States by the notion of working with his relatives in a restaurant venture. They settled on the rundown site, previously a North Indian restaurant, and began creating spice mixtures, making their own cheeses and roasting cumin seeds for the seductively salty yogurt drink that is yang to the yin of the mango version of lassi -- and word traveled.
The menu is small and easy, three short pages of choices with the bulk of the listings built around South Indian staples of either idly (steamed rice cake) or dosa. There are no specials, other than the thali, a kind of Indian-style blue-plate special, with three vegetables and accompaniments, and two versions of the buffet, one for weekdays and the other, grander one, for weekends.
Appetizers are fairly typical, and nicely done by the three chefs, Raghavan Thiruvengatasamy, Suresh Ayyappan and Sekar Rajagopal. Sambar, the tomato-based lentil soup that is served as a supplement to most dishes, is pleasingly chunky with vegetables and flavored with curry leaves, cumin, cilantro and fenugreek. Its sibling, a fresh coconut chutney with chickpeas, derives its depth from green chilies, ginger, curry leaves and lemon juice.
The mixed vegetable pakora platter includes plantain, a regular feature in South India; the lentil doughnuts in mild yogurt are delectably tender and subtle, with a mild onion essence made sweeter against the fermentation of the batter and its time in the deep fryer. The mung dal and potato dumplings also benefit from their time in the fryer; the crust is a nice contrast to the yielding filling within. But the table favorite was a magical mix of sweet and heat, of hard and soft, called bhel puri. At Dosa Grill, the dish begins with puffed rice, to which diced tomato and diced onion are added. Then, the dancing begins: The chefs add coriander, chili powder and a blend of spices called chat masala. Other versions may or may not include mango, carrot, cucumber and potatoes, as well as dates and coriander.
Rice dishes earn a category all their own, but it was the lemon version that stood out. Slightly tangy, with an undertone of succulence from cashews, ginger, curry leaves and turmeric, this is rice that needs no ornament.
The dosa category offers 20-some choices, but beyond the initial choice of a rice-lentil based batter or wheat-lentil batter, it's more a matter of fillings. The basic is a potato and onion filling, spiced with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onion, turmeric and coriander. Then there is the spicy potato and onion filling that adds to the basic blend a dollop of Mysore chutney, with coriander, red chilies and paprika. Or, there is the gilding of cheese, onion and cilantro; or filled with spinach, onion and potato; or onion, tomato and chilies. Only one dosa was less than impressive: the fiery gunpowder version, with so many spices that they turned metallic and unpleasant.
Uthappam, a kind of rice-lentil pancake, was offered with similar toppings, but the most interesting was with bitter melon, onion and cilantro. The vegetable was tender but not overly bitter, and the cilantro worked to further soften the flavor.
Curries, too, were fresh and spunky. Table favorites included the lentils with spinach against a backdrop of typical flavorings, the eggplant with tomato and coriander in what Mr. Perumalsamy calls an onion gravy; the eggplant with okra; the chickpeas in a masala blend and the spinach with house-made cheese.
Desserts took a dive, with the pineapple kesari (cream of wheat with butter and pineapple) less interesting in the bowl than on the menu, and the rasamalai (cottage cheese in rose-flavored milk with pistachio nuts) quite bland. But the masala tea was finish enough, delivered in a stainless cup and deep saucer, for pouring the steaming liquid back and forth until it cools. Exotic and richly flavored, it's a bargain at $1.50 and so satisfying that it leaves you conjuring up new reasons to be near the Dosa Grill at mealtime.

Song: Famous
Artist: Charli XCX
Album: Sucker
Charli's 2014 was like watching a friend get famous. Well... okay that's a little overboard, but I've been following the young British singer for a while, championing her major label debut while few were paying attention, and then watching her become hook girl for the biggest song of the Summer, getting a hit of her own, and then releasing her fantastically bratty third album Sucker, which is non-stop amazing. Proud tears.
While a seeming lyrical setback from True Romance, Sucker is an intentionally juvenile record taking it's cues from 80s-era guitar-driven pop-punk a-la Kim Wilde. She even covers the Flying Lizard's version of "Money (That's What I Want)" as a bonus track. The album is filled with upbeat, thrashy, pop tracks that nod to that bygone era while still keeping things modern. "London Queen," "Breaking Up," and the title track really exemplify her aim with the record.
Repeated listens to Sucker reveal each track to be rather essential, from the catchy bombast of "Break the Rules" and the laid-back vibe of "Gold Coins," as well as the New Wavish upcoming single "Doing It" (which is adding Rita Ora for the single/video version) and the Weezer-biting "Hanging Around" that yes... includes writing and guitar work by Rivers Cuomo. Fans of "Boom Clap" will find the big Summer single (originally from The Fault in Our Stars Soundtrack) and the similar "Caught in the Middle," also fantastic. This girl can really write a hook. [related, check out Aeroplane's excellent remix of "Boom Clap."]
Charli had mentioned she got a lot of pressure from her label to repeat the sound (and success) of her biggest hit she's written, Icona Pop's "I Love It," and while she rejected the assignment, I feel she does it (and tops it) with the brash, uber-catchy "Famous," my hands-down favorite track on the record. I hope it becomes a single.
This is a high-profile pop record that's actually filled with youthful exuberance, and one even aging pop fans can bop to. Dig dig dig.

Ongoing work to secure the future of Whitby Harbour has taken another step forward this week after the Harbour Board secured almost £400,000 in funding.
The money will be used to update the Fish Quay area and make it safer for vessels berthed alongside.
Borough councillor Mike Cockerill is chair of Whitby Harbour Board and he said: "Fishing was the original use of the harbour and we need to continue doing whatever we can to maintain the service that we provide for the fish market ad ensure fishermen land their catch in Whitby safely."
The cost of the project will be £385,000, half of which has been granted by the Marine Management Organisation.
The rest is to be ring fenced from the borough council via the Harbour Board.
"We are very pleased that the application which was put forward on behalf of Whitby Harbour Board has been successful," added Cllr Cockerill. "The MMO has agreed that it's a very worthy project for the harbour."
The work on the Fish Quay follows the successful completion of the projects to install a power supply to the east side pontoons and the repair work to Kiddie's Corner.
The existing defensive piles were constructed in 1956 and are in place to prevent collisions between vessels and the quay structure.
Due to the age, condition and continual damage, some of the piles have exceeded their working life and are beyond economical repair.
Cllr Cockerill explained that deterioration of the piles would result in damage to the structure and vessels. He added that the consequences of such an incident could be extensive, both financially and operationally and if the work is not completed, it might be necessary to restrict or even suspend berthing and the landing of product at Whitby Fish Quay entirely.

Once again we packed our bags and headed off to the airport. Of course, we
took a tuk-tuk! You have no idea how spacious they are: We got our two bags, two
carry-on backpacks, and us into one single tuk-tuk - and it wasn't even cramped!
In the by now so common tuk-tuk manner we were driven swiftly to the airport, where - just as it
was in Ubon Ratchathani - first security checks were already done at the
terminal door. All luggage was screened and passengers had to walk through a
metal detector. Pretty useless if you ask me - I gave up on removing my pen,
wallet, keys, and cell phone from the pockets, and those detectors didn't even
go off! Anyway, courtesy to being an UA Premier Executive member we had access
to the Thai Airways lounge, which is always welcome: Free food and drinks, and
free Internet access. And the waiting time goes by much faster in a much more
comfortable environment ;-) But we didn't have to wait that long anyway, and we
boarded the good old A 300-600 for the 1:20hr flight to Phuket. The flight was
once again nice and friendly, with a meal service. Arriving at Phuket, John
awaited us at the airport. I have known John for quite a few years now, through
the tourism research discussion forum TRINET. He owns SeaCanoe in Phuket, an
ecotour operation that tries to do the best possible job, and be a real ecotour
operator. It was good to finally meet him in person, and it was incredibly nice
of him to come all the way up to the airport (about a one hour drive), just to
pick us up and drive us down to Patong, where our hotel was. We had a good chat about
this and that, and the drive was over very quickly. He dropped us off at the
Deevana Patong Hotel & Spa, which we
also booked through the Internet. What a nice hotel! It looked beautiful, at check-in we were sat down (instead of the
common standing at the counter), given cold towels and a cocktail! That's how we
like it, haha! John bid us farewell until we'd see him a couple of days later on
one of his trips.
It was another hot day, and thus we made good use of the pool. We also walked around the town, and it was quickly confirmed what we expected: A typical tourist town, with everything geared towards western tourists. I already knew what to expect, but it was still a bit shocking to me how open it was: There were lots and lots of white men in their 50s or older (mostly from the UK, Germany, and the US), with a young Thai girl. What was interesting (and a bit unexpected to me) was that they all walked down the street, holding hands. It almost looked like "normal" married couples, fresh in love. What we also realised was that it didn't seem like prostitution in the classic way, i.e. for a short time, but more like a "holiday romance" (or at least the illusion of one) - and of course paid for as well... Often , we saw such couples sitting at the dinner table at restaurants, and not even exchanging one word. I guess the bedroom performance is more important than language skills and any conversation...? At about 5pm we went towards the beach, and it was surprisingly large. The sun started setting, and it turned into the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen. The red of the sun was almost unreal! We kicked our behinds for not having had the camera with us. Oh well, this is paradise, and we had two more evenings!
Next day, we walked around town, and found a spanking new shopping mall of a size that puts any mall in NZ to shame. Even better, in the mall was a supermarket with a variety of food that is beyond imagination. I lived in Germany, Canada, New Zealand and Scotland - and have never seen such a supermarket! The lollie section alone was huge (and we bought lots, haha!), even with lots of imported stuff from Europe, including my favourite Haribo wine gums, and German and Swiss chocolate!
We also spent time at the pool again (of course with a cocktail...), and I started reading a book I got from Renee when I was home in February. It was "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. If you get a chance to read this book, please do so! It is a fascinating book, very touching, thrilling, and one of those books you can't put down before you have finished it. it is about life in Afghansitan, long before the Russians invaded it, and up to the years the Americans came... I finished it on the flight back home... And at 5pm we were back to another wonderful sunset at the beach - at least we thought we would... But today it was cloudy, and although it was beautiful, it was not even close to what we had seen the evening before. Anyway, we had tripod and camera with us, so we took a few photos. Oh, have I mentioned yet that we also liked the Singha beer? ;-)
On Saturday, we got picked up by John at about 11am for our adveture out on the water. The transfer by van to the pier took about an hour. On the van with us was John, Lottie (an independent film maker from the UK, who was working on a documentary on birds nest soup - a delicacy in China), and an Australian family. On the boat we met the rest of the gang and headed off towards Phang-na Bay National Park. On the way we got a nice snack with some really yummy food. John and his crew gave an introduction to the area, but also a briefing on saftey and behaviour on the water. On the way, we also saw a number of Bramany Kites hovering behind the boat, and diving through the air to the watersurface in order to catch some chicken skin, the crew chucked out for them (see photos).
Not long and we reached the first hongs (btw., it was close to the famous "James Bond Island", which is basically a rock in the water where tour operators take thousands of tourists all the time...). Every inflatable kayak had a guide and two passengers. Mario, or Thai guide with an Italian name, was really nice, friendly, knowledgable, and spoke English very well. He paddled us through the hongs and did a great job. You get close to the rock wall of the island and wonder where you will go, until you are under some overhanging rock, that gets lower and lower. Eventually, you have to lie down flat in the kayak, and have the cave ceiling about 5cm away from your nose! At times it gets pitch dark, and only torches can help navigate the system. After a short while daylight reappears, and the cave opens up to a spectacular lagoon, surrounded by very high steep cliffs - almost like a fiord! At times it is an almost eerie feeling there, very quiet, little wildlife. But we did indeed see a monkey high up on the wall, and a few mudskippers on mangrove roots. Mudskippers are amphibians, and basically fish with two front legs and a tail. We went back out again, and into the next hong. Again, it was breathtaking, and sheer beauty! After quite a while there, we went back to the boat and had a wonderful dinner. Freshly grilled fish, shrimps, salads, etc. An impressive buffet, especially for the location, i.e. on a boat! We also had time to take a kayak on our own and paddle around the area. It was wonderfully calm - the calm before the storm! - and Neil, Lottie and myself paddled around a bit. Well, Lottie and I paddled, and Neil relaxed ;-) When we got back to the boat, the sun started setting, and it was quite spectacular. Dark rainclouds and a thunderstorm came closer, and the dark light made the sunset look even more impressive! At sunset each group, together with their guide, built a little offering, made of banana leaves, flowers, candles and incense. When it was dark we hopped into the kayaks for the final time and paddled to a nearby cave, lit the candles and incense and let the offerings float. It was a very beautiful sight, and quite touching, except for the British brats that kept shouting, laughing and splashing around - they spoiled the whole thing a bit :( On the way to and from the cave we could see plenty of dinoflagellates, tiny organisms that light up when wave energy hits them. Holding your hand in the water and they light up! Quite a funny thing to see. The only time I have seen this before was from a ferry from Oostende to Dover on the English Channel - there, the whole sea was lightning green! Back on board, we headed back to the pier, and were brought back to the hotel. Each person received a CDRom with lots of information about the area, photos, etc. A valuable and welcome treat at the end of the tour!
Below a number of photos about the trip. The guy in the red single kayak is John Gray, and in front of me in the yellow kayak is Lottie...
At the hotel, we once again encountered a few of our favourite neighbours: Cats! They were everywhere, and to our surprise very clean. They are a different breed (I saw those in Fiji as well), and much smaller than our domestic cats. The ones on the photos are fully grown. I wish Stella and Jamie were that size, haha! Back at the pool after sunset, it was great to swim, because another thunderstorm came close - VERY close. It was suddenly bucketing down, and we left the water when the lightning was right above us ;-) The rain drove a number of toads out of their hiding and we saw a few jumping around the park-like grounds of the resort.
Next morning, we once again had to get up early. We took the hotel shuttle to the airport for our final leg back to Bangkok. But this is - as you have guessed - another story, and will be told in the next blog....

Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia is a must see if you live in the Southeastern US. This lovely park Perched high in the Virginian Appalachians, in the Jefferson National Forest, this state park is home to grassy pastures and meadows, 5,000+ foot peaks, wild ponies, and crystal clear mountain streams lined with rhododendron tunnels. Providing a variety of unique sights, trails, and boulders, there's something here for everyone. Activities include hiking, bouldering, primitive and RV camping, and horseback riding. My wife and myself took our Little Guy Teardrop trailer there this summer in hopes to see the wild pony's there. We hiked up to the Appalachian Trail that travels through the park to find them but we didn't have any luck. The park is high enough in altitude to keep the hot weather away and it was a very pleasant temperature while we were there. Our teardrop trailer did exceptionally well and we really enjoyed our trip. My trusty Sony A6000 was my main camera and it performed well. I love this park and have already gone back from the time we took this trip for a little fishing trip. Caught some local brook trout and had a great time in the area. If you like camping the outdoors and great scenic views this is the park for you.
