Heavy November rains have arrived. "Local urban flooding" comes with these rains which means that the fields surrounding town are starting to look like lakes, Fern Hill Road will soon be covered with water and closed for a few days, the yard and garden are totally soaked, and there's water in our basement (and most basements in the neighborhood). Just the usual Pacific Northwest late Autumn deluge. Tomorrow, if the downpour lets up and it's not too windy, I'll venture out to take some flood photos. For now, here's a photo of our front walkway, completely puddled. It's nice to spend the afternoon quietly inside, out of the rain, watching movies and being with family.
Category Archives: The Seasons: Fall
The Cover Crops
The cover crops have sprouted in our raised beds! We planted four different types of crops to see how they do this winter and to see what kind of difference they might make with our soil in the spring. We planted Crimson Clover, Hairy Vetch, Austrian Winter Peas, and Buckwheat. A fun experiment!
UPDATE: November 24, 2016… The "Buckwheat" seeds we planted were definitely NOT Buckwheat! The package of seeds must have been mislabeled, and in my inexperience, I didn't know what buckwheat seeds should look like. Now that the seeds have sprouted, we realized the mistake and think we planted winter rye instead. Here's a close-up photo of the sprouted seeds…if you know for sure what they are, please let me know!
Planting a Plum Tree
Many years ago, when we lived on "the Farm," we had a wonderful Italian Prune tree that gave us loads of plums each September. That was one of the things we missed the most after we moved away! So it is very fitting that we planted a Dwarf Italian Prune tree in our yard this week. We planted it with lots of hopes and memories along with it. May it will do well in the spot we chose for it!
Falling Leaves
Our neighborhood is called "Old Town." The trees that shade our streets and houses are very old. The oaks that surround our next door neighbor's house, and stand tall on our property line, are over 100 years old. Their shade is wonderful in the heat of the summer, but they drop tons of leaves in the Fall. (My neighbor rolled down his window as he drove past us the other day and called out, "Leafageddon, again!") The sound of leaf blowers (which my husband hates) is deafening on the weekends. We use our big rakes, raking leaves the old-fashioned way, and despite an occasional blister, we enjoy the job. Once each month, October through December, the town's leaf vacuum truck comes by and vacuums up the huge piles of leaves that are raked or blown to the curb. Watching for the vacuum truck has become a delightful Autumn ritual.
After the Storm
Saturday's big wind storm is over but the clean-up will take time. In our town, there were four or five trees that blew down, and the biggest and most devastating one was right across the street. So after witnessing the tree falling and calling 911 on Saturday afternoon, we have watched in fascination as the help arrived and started to deal with the aftermath of that 100 year-old-oak falling onto our neighbor's house.
Three days after the tree fell, the crews are still working to clean up the tree debris. The crews that worked on both Sunday and Monday to cut the tree off the house and remove the huge pieces of trunk were truly amazing to watch at work! My photos will speak for themselves.
Today the tree is gone except for the broken stump. The wires are back up and the neighbor's house secured. A small clean-up crew from the tree company is back today clearing the last of the debris from the yard and picking up the cut up pieces of trunk that weren't moved yesterday. Pretty soon it will all be back to "normal," except for a huge bare and open space that wasn't there before. And then the house repair/restoration project will start, and that will be another fascinating process to watch. Who needs cable tv when there's a lot more entertainment and interest right outside our window?
Fall's Fury
The last 24 hours in our town and especially in our neighborhood have been momentous. A huge storm front driven by a typhoon way out in the Pacific Ocean took aim at the Pacific Northwest and brought devastating winds that hit our town yesterday. A tornado came onshore in Manzanita, Oregon, and did considerable damage there. In our town, 60 miles inland from the coast, numerous trees were blown down, including a 100+ year old Oak across the street. I happened to be standing at the window when it went down and watched in horror as it fell on our neighbor's house. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the damage is considerable.
We are humbled by Fall's fury, and nervous about the 100-year-old oaks that tower above our house and our neighbor's houses in this area. They are all old trees, nearing the end of their life cycle, and can be very dangerous as I witnessed yesterday. Although this area was originally a white oak savannah, these trees that make us nervous were planted by the next door neighbor a hundred years ago. Five of the ten big oaks surrounding that house are hanging over our property line and our house. We already had one very dangerous oak taken down when we first moved here a few years ago. (You can read about that tree here.) Needless to say, we will be having the other 5 carefully evaluated for safety within the next few days/weeks.
October in the Garden
Garden Snapshot: October Morning
Autumnal Equinox in the Garden
This summer I watched a free online gardening class by Stacey Murphy of BK Farmyards. She's a wonderful teacher and gardener, and I took copious notes as I watched her 4 video lessons. I learned a lot! She opens up these classes every so often, and they are well worth waiting for! She also has a number of very helpful mini-lessons on YouTube. Check them out here.
One thing she discussed in her lessons was that planting in the right place is crucial to your success in growing vegetables and herbs. She suggested drawing a site map (bird's eye view) of your garden site, and then "observing shadows" so that you can actually see how much sun and shade hits your growing area throughout the year. Her suggestion was to take photos of your garden 4 times a year — on the solstice and equinox days. Take the photos every three hours and then record the shadows on your site drawing using a different colored pencil for each time of year. At the end of the year, you will know exactly what the lighting conditions are of your chosen garden site, and then can choose the vegetables that would grow best in that amount of light. It's a wonderful idea and an excellent way to help choose your garden site or get to know your existing garden.
So I started this learning process by taking photos of our garden at the Autumnal Equinox a few weeks ago. I used the panorama setting on my phone, and took the photos over 2 days because I wasn't home all day on the equinox. I will do the same thing in December, and then March and June next year. It should be very interesting to see the actual amount of sunlight on our garden versus what I THINK is the amount of sunlight there. And you can probably tell from the photos below that the reason the last of my tomatoes are having a hard time ripening is because there's not enough sunlight and warmth left for them!
Garden Snapshop: Leaves and More Leaves
Between our November rain storms, we hurry outside to work in the yard for a short time. All the plants are grateful for the moisture after our very dry summer! Most of our gardening efforts right now are focused on raking the "millions" of oak leaves that cover everything. We clear an area of leaves, feeling very proud of ourselves, and cart them to the curb for the city truck that comes by once a month at this time of year to clear the streets of leaves. But a very short while later, the ground is once again covered with leaves.

Ehlin Bjarka is part of Urla Tribe and one of the organizers of the festival. Besides working with Forest Star she's a yoga teacher who gets inspired by the nordic philosophical perspective of nature medicine. She works with the fundament of the elementary teachings and is striving to share an experience and exploration of the inner self.
She started to explore yoga at 2004. Yoga is a lot about the experience for Ehlin. It is something you mindfully put your attention to, to get in contact with the effects it might bring you.
At the festival Ehlin will hold a meditation that explores the chakra system through the runes and a gentle class of slow flow.
Nordic chakra meditation - Nordic chakra meditation is a journey through the seven large chakras. You will be guided through different asanas to get in contact with the experience of your chakras. To intensify the experience we'll use the magic of the runes and will sing their mantra to respective chakra.
Slow Flow - a gentle but dynamic class where we'll assume a slow and creative flow of movement. The flow will guide you into enhanced presence with body and mind. The movements and breath will be woven together as an extension of each other. focus will be on flow, breath and alignment.
Urla Tr
ibe was borned after many gatherings that we shared in Bäckabo Forest where Forest Star take place.There was an energy becoming more and more present. She showed herself and got the name Urla, the one who looks after her family in Bäckabo Forest. Urla is a combination of two runes: Ur and Ass. Shortly the Ur-rune is about the inner raw power we all have inside of us, the power that helps us face and come over all the obstacles we meet in life. Ass is about being open and free in your spirituality. To be in contact with the great spirit and higher self. We are all part of this greater spirit.
The Urla woman shares with you Urlass ceremony at saturday midnight. The ceremony this year is a contribution to the creation of life, the ice and the fire and to Audhumbla, mother of all. We will work with the two powerful opposite forces that are the foundation of existence; stillness and movement. Amongst the ancient nordic rune symbols these forces are represented as Isa, the ice rune, and Kauna, the fire rune. When these runes work together in harmony the fire can melt the hard ice to release the flow of energy for us to grow in love.
In the nordic mythology one believed that life was created when the cold frosted ice of Nifelheim collided with the sparkling fires of Muspelheim. The stillness of ice in combination of the energy of the fire created materia and life. The ancient cow Audhumbla and the giant Ymer was born. Audhumbla nourished Ymer with her milk. Therefor Audhumbla is the provider of life and the world could be seen as a manifestation of Audhumbla. She is the flow of life that is flowing in and all around us, providing us with the mother's life force.
Marcus will hold a lecture/workshop about wild plants and fermentation for food sovereignty and sustainability from a medicinal, ecological and agricultural perspective.
Hello Dear You. I'm here at your service during Forest Star Midsummer Celebration to guide you in yoga and meditation. I've been fortunate to share these tools in various settings now throughout the years and during a festival is actually one of my favorite ones. Mostly because it's so needed and appreciated at gatherings like this. Thera are so many impressions and maybe intense experiences in such few days, and with all that dancing =) I warmly recommend to give yourself the time and space to take a moment, breathe, stretch and reset your system. Since 2009 I've been on a journey of self discovery with yoga and meditation as great allies. I teach Kundalini, Hatha, Yin and Free flow yoga. Looking forward to share some of my insights and classes with you at Kraft Källan.
(Please don't attend under the influence of alcohol or drugs)
Love and Magic your way
A musician, sound designer and workshop leader based in the Netherlands. His interests, starting from a general attraction to art and particularly music, grew specifically towards electronic music and sound therapy. As a sound therapist and workshop leader he has been developing Playing The Voice: a therapeutic and meditative method for a guided and mindful use of the voice and the body. This interest is rooted in a personal journey of discoveries and studies of spiritual practises, particularly alternative singing techniques (e.g. overtone/throat singing), didjeridoo, yoga and tai-chi. Stefano will lead a workshop at Forest Star and guide you through an experiential workshop based on a meditative and therapeutic use of the Voice.
Hej Forest Stars,
During the festival I will hold space for some meditative workshops rooted in the theory of the five elements, non dualism, shamanism and the juicy richness of tantric views.
Ten years have past since the first time I sat down on the cushion and started explore the inner and outer world. During these years I have fallen in love with truth and what this life actually is beyond our conceptional ideas, the elements and our human ability to do inner energy work to experience our true nature and become more integrated with the life we are living right now and right here. Today when meeting my clients as a certified naturopath, I work with these techniques together with energy -and nature medicine, bodywork and Mindfulness on a regular basis. I consider it a true privilege to share some of what I've found! Hope to meet you at the festival!
For your own and the other participants safety, do not join the workshops under influence of any kind of substance. The things I will share with you are powerful in their natural way, as they are, just as you. Please respect that.
Love, love and love
Digambara Foré
Digambara Foré is an invitation into celebration. It is a group founded by Csilla and Gabriel but is in collaboration with many other people who finds much joy in the art of dancing, making music and want to share it with other people.
Rhythm is the Soul of Life, once Babatunde Olatunji the great nigerian drummer said. Without rhythm lifeprocesses can not organise itselfs, so naturaly every organic process in life has its own rhythm. This organising force, rhythm, is the most perceptible and the least material thing we know.
When the drummer plays a rhythmic pattern on the drums and the dancers responds, they give the rhythms visible and physical forms and togeather they create an organic dialogue between movements and sounds. The dancers becomes the rhytmic interpretations of the aesthetic appreciations of Life.
"The body is powerful site of meaning. To awaken the dance insights within-the communicative potential which lies in the release and celebration of the body-soul connection – there lies the link between dance and philosophy; movement and meaning"

To begin with, I was a little wary about using this spray. Spraying something directly into your face is a very strange phenomenon and I kept wanting to open my eyes or move away from it...fortunately after using it a few times I managed to stop my instinct to turn away or shield my face as it was wasting quite a lot of product! It has a very slight scent which seems to vanish after application. It feels incredibly lightweight, I don't feel that it weighed my skin down at all. It also dries incredibly quickly, and it doesn't leave a shiny finish. One of my biggest concerns when I was using this was that it would make my skin incredibly oily, but I've found that it helps control my oiliness. I've definitely not been anywhere near as shiny since I started using this!
In terms of increasing the staying power of my make-up, there has been a notable improvement. I can now apply my make-up at 6:30 in the morning and it is still going strong by 6:00 in the evening. I find it particularly useful when I'm wearing darker colours on my eyes that are prone to noticeable fading and creasing, they definitely crease and wear a lot less. I'd say that my make-up now lasts around 11-12 hours with this spray before it begins to wear a little. It's a wonderful product if you love to wear darker shades!
I've also used this on my Mum who has incredibly dry skin and acne rosacea when she was going on a night out, and her make-up when still going strong when she got home in the early hours of the morning. Of course, I can't comment on how it feels on dry skin personally, but it could be worth giving it a go if you are prone to dryness.
Of course, my biggest gripe with this product is the price. It costs £19.50 for 118ml. Fortunately I paid for this using a voucher, but it is expensive to buy normally. I do think that it is worth checking out, but it might be a good idea to buy the travel size one first if you aren't sure.
This spray costs £19.50 for 118ml and can be purchased from Debenhams. The travel sized version costs £9.00 for 30ml and can be bought here.
Have you tried any setting sprays?
Disclosure: I bought this with a voucher that was given to me for my birthday.

a spring dance recital...
we are back! it's been quite the few days- of the 19 traveling home from the cruise in florida, the majority of us were hit hard with either a violent flu bug or food poisoning. it was a rough couple days, but luckily we were feeling back to normal for the girls dance recital! they have been working hard the last few months to get their dances down…and to finally get to wear their costumes!
maddie danced to teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini- i'm not sure i've ever seen anything cuter! we were a little worried about how she'd do on the stage. we thought she may get shy, or forget the dance, or something in-between. we held our breath as she walked out and found her place, her back to the audience. the lights came on, the crowd cheered and maddie peeked over her shoulder and gave a big smile. she spent the next minute and a half shaking her bum and getting stuck between remembering all her steps and wanting to just ham it up for the audience. she managed to find a perfect happy medium and left us crying from laughing so hard.
our gracie girl was bursting with excitement to get on stage- she remembered how much she loved it at her christmas concert and was ready for a repeat performance. she was moved up to the older jazz class with girls between 5 and 7. she's a solid year younger and after being out of town and missing a couple weeks of class and then battling the flu followed by a double ear infection, we were worried if she'd remember the dance or be up for performing. she fought through it and came alive on stage, we were so proud! it's been a different few months for her as she's worked hard to keep up with the older girls in her class. i've watched her on occasion leave class seeming a little defeated. she's similar to matthew - she wants to be the best and she wants to make us proud. we've spent a lot of time encouraging her and working to build her confidence, we've been amazed at the difference it has made. it was such a rewarding moment as a parent to see her hard work pay off!
we took the girls out for frozen yogurt after their performances. maddie asked us every 35 seconds if we watched her while she was up on the stage and gracie discussed all her plans for her next recital, along with all the places she'll be wearing her costume.
it was also matthew's first day of his salt lake city internship. he rushed right from work to the recital, and filled me in on his day. i can't wait to see his office!
i'll be posting more about our vacation- just as soon as i sort through all our pictures!

Each of the previous two uninspiring Phillies seasons have included a brief gasp for life. Two years back, it was a three-game sweep of the Brewers featuring nothing but come-from-behind 7-6 wins. Last season, they strung together five wins in a row in early summer, not knowing that it would be easily outmatched by their losses, which at one point stacked up eight in a row.
This year, the inspiring run came again - a June sweep of the Braves in Atlanta, a 5-2 road trip, a bullpen reborn, a Jimmy Rollins hit streak - and winning 10 of 15 was identified as an attempt to scuttle up from the bottom.
Unfortunately, the Phillies ended June much like it had begun. They split a home series with Miami and then suffered a four-game sweep by the Braves, undoing their work and burying them under a demoralizing eight-game deficit in the NL East. Each of the previous two gasps were isolated events on a draining schedule that ended after a mere 162 games. This one appears no different.
Despite a sustained lack of success going back to 2011, Phillies president David Montgomery stated that the team will not be rebuilding any time soon, as it would hurt attendance numbers too hard.
"In 1998, what were we drawing? Where were we ranked of the franchises in the city? We were last," Montgomery said. "When I took over, we thought it was a moral victory to go 44-46 in the second half and still lose 97 games, drawing a million and a half and we couldn't get into a new ballpark.
"Some people say that the Phillies worry too much about attendance. Yes, we do. When you are low in attendance, the risk is only on the upside. When you are (drawing well), the risk is dropping any further. And that's what we're trying to avoid."
General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. may have accidentally offered some insight into this hair-raising plan to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal:
"We're not going to be in a five-year plan, be really bad for five years."
[It's safe to assume the "five years" in question would start now because, if not, the Phillies are already halfway there.]
"I don't believe we're in the market to do that, and where we have to do that," Amaro said.
"Guys like Cole, Chase and some of the others can help make the transition faster. Having them be part of the transition would probably be more beneficial to us unless we can get two, three or four pieces that we know can be part of our core going forward.
"In this day and age, how many teams have that? Very few. And how many teams are going to give that up?"
So, without giving up Cole Hamels or Chase Utley, the Phillies will have grizzled vets to act as spirit guides. But who exactly will be playing the role(s) of the trembling newcomers? This isn't a rebuild, remember.
Perhaps those not mentioned by name - Jonathan Papelbon, Cliff Lee, Marlon Byrd - are more likely to be shipped out in exchange for minor leaguers. But the Phillies have not proven to be adept in this era at acquiring prospects.
Prospects are a gamble, and exchanging a proven asset for a handful of them is not a simple task. But the sole survivor of the 2009 Cliff Lee deal is the run-hemorrhaging Phillippe Aumont; a bad omen as the team begins researching a Lee trade for the second time.
At the heart of this, though, is the notion that Montgomery and the Phillies don't want to scare you away from the ballpark by putting a bunch of nobodies out there as they try to become worth your attention over the course of a few years. What was so exciting about watching some nobody hit a grand slam for his first Major League hit? What was so stimulating when a cocky kid with dreads hit .321 as a callup in another meaningless September?
Anybody looking for that kind of baseball experience can hit up Minute Maid Park in Houston, where a franchise is cool with meandering, pointless tactics like studying, nurturing, and developing young players and taking a frugal stance on deals until they have a farm system churning out roster after roster of promising prospects. The Phillies understand that you don't want to see Jonathan Singleton or Jarred Cosart on the field, homering or flirting with no-hitters in their first Major League appearances.
Change is born from risk, and the Phillies are in a place that requires change. A team that's been unable to contend for three years believes that they can push into the next era of success by skipping an important step and avoiding the risks of a rebuild. But there's not a lot at risk in last place.

Today at IMPACT 2014: The Business of Talent, we're launching new Bersin by Deloitte research on Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) nine months in the making. Our study of 245 organizations with operations in North America, 56 percent of which are global or multinational, reveals no shortage of good intentions when it comes to fostering an inclusive culture. Execution and results, however, are lagging.
A few of the highlights from our new benchmarking study:*
Though most organizations want to be inclusive, most are not today. A clear majority of respondents (71%) aspire to have an "inclusive" culture in the future, where employees feel involved, respected, valued, and connected, and where their diverse backgrounds are put to work to drive value and business results. Only 11% of organizations report having an inclusive culture today.
D&I is seen as an investment in driving employee and business outcomes…. Respondents selected "enhance employee engagement," "serve customers better," and "increase innovation and agility" as their top three reasons to invest in D&I. FORTUNE 500 respondents, much more than the average, were primarily focused on enhancing engagement, and increasing innovation and agility.
…However, monetary investment per employee is small… Employers surveyed understand the value of diversity and inclusion, but aren't spending very much on a per-employee basis. Most are spending just over $50 per employee to support D&I efforts; only about 5% of the $1,159 organizations said they spent per employee on learning & development in 2013.**
…And metrics are being tracked, but not leveraged. Although the majority of organizations are tracking metrics, most are not using them effectively. Almost two-thirds of respondents (62%) report diversity and inclusion efforts are not well-mapped with metrics to strategic business outcomes. Only 10% of respondents "strongly agree" that their organization changes/adjusts/refreshes D&I strategies and solutions based on evaluation data or feedback.
Overall, our research found that most D&I initiatives today suffer from a lack of "three Fs"— focus, funding, and follow-through. Only one in four organizations includes a D&I metric when determining the CEO or executive compensation; the percentage is even less for managers at 18%. Moreover, public accountability for achieving D&I outcomes is small. While almost one-third of leaders (31%) publically discuss the business value of inclusion "to a great extent," only 12% discuss to a "great extent" their organization's effectiveness at achieving D&I goals, and only 2% of respondents "strongly agree" their organization's metrics are transparent and shared among employees.
Instead, to improve D&I effectiveness, organizations should focus on three S's—
Strategic alignment with business and talent outcomes. Performance management should be the tool that creates D&I accountability by setting goals and tracking performance against those goals. Recruiting, selection, and assessment processes should also be designed to engage individuals with both traditional and invisible diversity.
Senior leaders publicly championing and staying involved in D&I initiatives. As is typical when driving change throughout an organization, "tone at the top" is critical. For example, as part of its diversity initiative, a global financial services company profiled in the research has established a global council comprising 40 senior leaders from Asia-Pacific, EMEA, Latin America, and the U.S.. The council meets twice a year, with the goals of creating a clear sense of accountability for diversity efforts companywide, and championing measurable and actionable diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Support for employees. D&I efforts should be integrated with learning and leadership development aimed at helping them manage conflict for positive outcomes, build successful mentoring relationships, and feel comfortable presenting their authentic selves. Leaders should encourage employees to ask questions, be open to new ideas and innovative approaches, and engage in meaningful conversations about diversity.
Along with the benchmarking report, Bersin by Deloitte is also launching The Diversity and Inclusion Primer for those new to or having little experience with D&I; The Diversity and Inclusion Framework for those taking a fresh look at their diversity and inclusion initiatives; and additional tools and a Playbook that pulls D&I resources together in one place. These resources will be available to Bersin research members at www.bersin.com.
As the focus for organizations continues to shift from counting heads ("diversity") toward making heads count ("inclusion") for greater engagement, performance, and innovation, we'll continue to research and report on their investments in D&I strategies, and their effectiveness in tying them to business strategies.

text: I'm starting to worry that so much focus is being placed by Tesla on autonomous driving that people who want to drive a dynamic responsive car with great feel through corners is going to be disappointed. Here in England we rarely get a straight stretch of road and outside major cities roads are narrow and often without clear markings. I can't see autonomous driving being allowed here for decades apart from on motorways (freeways). I've read some reports of the Model S having little steering feedback but people still seem to love them. Any UK Model S owners on here who can give a comparison to Audi / BMW dynamics on country roads?

Tehri Lake Water Sports Adventure
Get your quota of adventure filled by opting for Tehri Lake water sports this holiday season.
The adrenaline fueled fun offered by the calm place is hard to forget and is a source of incredible memories. Situated just 300 km from the Indian capital, Delhi and just 110 km from Dehradun is the nature's marvel, the Tehri Lake. Earlier the Tehri Lake tourism was highly dependent on the Tehri Dam, which is an architectural spectacle and one of the World's largest hydroelectric projects. Now, people visit this amazing place to enjoy Tehri Lake water sports adventure that have gained a lot of popularity in a short while.
The stunningly beautiful lake spread across 4,000 acres has clear water that changes shades with the sunlight. The clouds, the hills and the double rainbows are enough to enchant anyone. But when you add in the thrill of water sports, you are taking the trip to another level of awesomeness. Tehri Lake is a prime example of how stunning man-made lakes can be. It offers a peaceful atmosphere, lovely views and breathtaking adventures. The place has already become the go-to destination for adventure lovers who wish to try various water sports.
Before you indulge in Tehri Lake adventure sports, you must know the basics. Tehri Lake is located near the New Tehri town that is spread over an altitude from 1,550 meters to 1,950 meters above sea level. The town overlooks the famous lake. You can reach the lake via Kanatal, Chamba or Dhanaolti. The lake also signifies the meeting points of the Bhagirathi and Bhilangna rivers. Tourists from India and all across the globe visit the amazing place to enjoy water sports filled adventure activities.
Here's a list of adventurous activities you can enjoy the spectacular place.
Boating: You can enjoy the sound of water and the sway of it by renting a boat and taking a boat tour in the lake. The beauty of your surroundings and the peace of mind you will experience in the boat can't be described in words.
Jet Speed Boat Ride: This boat ride is best suited for people who wish to conquer their fear of water. It's better to enjoy this ride with family or friends so that you can hold onto your loved ones when the speed increases and your heartbeat accelerates.
Water Skiing: The jet skiing or riding a water scooter is a bit more adventurous than boating. The water can get scary for the first timers. If you are a newbie, tell your guide about it so that you can ski on flat water only.
Zorbing: Ever thought of walking on water? You can do it as a part of your Tehri water sport experience. You can try to run on the water by using a few meter long inflatable zorb that looks like a ball but is extremely safe.
Banana Boat Ride: Feel closer to the water while enjoying the delight of a banana boat. This is an inflatable boat with fewer passengers and more fun.
Bandwagon Boat Ride: Enjoy the bumpiest water ride of your life by trying this unique boat in which you can sit comfortably by leaning on the support. You will be held by a safety harness. The speed of the boat and splashing water would etch itself in your memory forever.
HotdogRide: Feel closer to the water and the scenic views by taking a hot dog boat ride at Tehri Lake. The boat has no roof and it's enormous which ensures that you have the time of your life. Kids will particularly enjoy this ride as it makes them feel freer.
Paragliding: Paragliding is among the topmost Tehri Lake adventure sports. Though it's not water based but the joy you get while flying in a light weight and free flying glider aircraft is hard to express in words. You can only feel it. And yes, the bird-eye view of the lake surroundings would surely leave you breathless for a minute.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Tehri Lake is in the summer months of April, May and June. In winters, you can visit during October, November, December or January and get an added benefit of enjoying skiing here.

SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND, August 17, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A study published in the academic journal Venture Capital has revealed that a start-up's name can significantly impact how investors perceive a new company. The study indicated that for early-stage investors, those businesses that have a unique name would get noticed more; when very little is known about a company in the early stages of business, a unique name will give the impression that there is something special about the enterprise and what they have to offer. The study also mentioned that names that are easy to pronounce (for example Uber) are preferred by investors and tend to be offered more money.

I like this because it is a combination of azelaic acid, gallic acid, lactic acid, kojic acid and ascorbic acid. Surely it causes irritation even for oily skin, but it also whitens as well as prevents acne. I have purchased the second bottle now.

The Benefits of Cocoa Butter
Colin Stuckert
Cocoa butter is an amazing ingredient that has been growing in popularity in recent years with the rise of butter coffee and other various healthy eating trends.
The public perception that fat is not actually "bad for you" has also helped fuel this growth.
Let's look at a few of the many benefits of cocoa butter, the delicious white fat extracted from cacao beans.
One way I personally use cocoa butter is in my morning Wild Butter Brew butter coffee recipe. After brewing up a fresh mug of Wild Coffee, I pour my brew into a blender and combine with a tablespoon of butter, a few of our cocoa butter wafers and a glug or two of Wild MCT oil.
After a few short pulses of my Vitamix (or sometimes a Magic Bullet), I end up with a delicious, frothy and emulsified cup of coffee and healthy and delicious fats.
(As you may know, many people often refer to this recipe as "bulletproof coffee," which is not entirely accurate. You see, Dave Asprey, the Bulletproof Exec, has made this recipe popular and pretty much birthed the whole butter coffee movement. And to him, we are forever grateful. That said, he didn't invent putting butter (or other fats) in coffee; he just made it popular. So when you say you made "bulletproof coffee," what you are saying is you used his branded coffee beans to make coffee and not necessarily that you made butter coffee.)
Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is pressed from fermented and roasted whole cocoa beans. The pressing process separates cocoa liquor (which is later made into cocoa powder) and cocoa butter.
To learn more about the different ingredients that are produced from the theobroma cacao tree, check out our Wild Foods Guide To Chocolate.
After the cocoa butter is extracted, what you get is a pure shelf-stable fat comprised of 57%-65% saturated fatty acids and 35-43% unsaturated fatty acids. This unique fatty acid profile makes cocoa butter one of the most shelf-stable fats in the world.
Cocoa butter also contains many of the antioxidants that make chocolate famous. The fats and antioxidants of cocoa butter make it an excellent moisturizing product as well. Not only can you eat cocoa butter for all the nutrition benefit of antioxidants and clean fat calories, but you can also rub it all over your body.
Cocoa Butter Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of cocoa butter?
A few of the many benefits of cocoa butter include antioxidants, healthy fatty acids, polyphenol content and delicious chocolatey flavor.
The benefits of cocoa butter for external use include nearly all improvements in skin health, including reducing inflammation, reducing stretch marks, healing dry skin and other skin disorders, as well as reducing and preventing wrinkles.
What is cocoa butter good for… What can cocoa butter be used for?
Cocoa butter is good for blending into smoothies, shakes, butter coffee, and general cooking applications. You can also make homemade chocolate by adding cocoa butter, chocolate powder and a sweetener.
What does cocoa butter taste like?
Cocoa butter has a mild chocolatey flavor that is actually quite pleasant to eat raw. At PaleoFX this year, we had quite a few attendees eat our Wild Cocoa Butter wafers right out of the jar!
What are some cocoa butter recipes?
Here are a few of our favorite cocoa butter recipes:
How do you store cocoa butter?
Keep cocoa butter in an airtight container in a cool, dry and dark place. You can also refrigerate it just make sure it's airtight or it may pick up other flavors.
Where can I buy cocoa butter?
You came to the right place! You can buy ultra-premium organic cocoa butter in our Wild shop. We have two versions: cocoa butter cubes and cocoa butter wafers.

In the modern day it has become more and more common for couples to get married abroad. When you stop and think about it, dependant on the country you live in there are plenty of positives to getting married abroad. The weather, culture and overall experience mixed in with the opportunity to create ever lasting memories. There are a few commonly asked questions such as Will it be legal? Can I afford it? Will the invited attend? These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself before making an informed decision to take your marriage to the end of the world.
Although it has been proven that you can save money by getting married abroad, it can be rather easy to make spur of the moment splurges. You should make sure to set out a budget for each item you need to purchase, big or small it will all be important to take note of. The cost of accommodation & flights for you and your partner, Cost of your wedding rings, whether you will be paying for your guests or not, travel insurance and other expenses should be taken into account. Hiring a wedding planner can be very beneficial as they will set a budget with you and put you in the right direction. But remember to take their expenses in to account.
Guest Invitations
When deciding to marry abroad it can be awkward when inviting guests for several reasons. For example who and how many guests to invite? This is important to take into account especially if you have decided to cover the cost of their stay. You should give your guests plenty of notice to give them time to think their decision through so that they don't feel forced into a decision. Close family & friends will always attend making the ceremony more intimate.
The Ceremony
One of the benefits of getting married abroad is that tradition is not required. Your wedding can be unique to you as a couple. From the country you choose to the ceremonies setting whether it be in a church, on a beach or on a hill top garden at sunset. The food you choose for the meal is an opportunity for you to embrace the country of your choice culture and taste. These are some of the benefits of marrying abroad and can help create a memorable and uniquely beautiful day.
Everyone has heard a story in the past of marriages that were thought to be legal when marrying abroad to only find out years later that they weren't. The best way to cover yourself and your partner is to contact the relevant embassy or consulate to confirm what your marriage status would be on your return. For example some countries insist you must stay within their country for a set amount of days after your ceremony for it to be legalized. These are important things to note before choosing your destination.
So there you have it, a few simple tips to take into consideration when thinking of the possibility of marrying abroad. A few tips I'm sure will help you on your path to a wonderful memory made. Just remember that although there is some serious planning to be done when marrying abroad take a step back, breathe and enjoy the experience.

Six years ago at this time I was recovering in my hospital bed, wanting nothing more than to go hold my precious little 4lb babies. I remember sitting in bed and looking at the Polaroids the nurses had taken for me....and sending Scott, over and over again, to the NICU to check on the babies and make sure everything was OK. I remember being positive that they had mixed the babies up and the one they were calling Charity was actually Eve...lol. What memories....
People ask me what it was like to have triplet babies, and honestly- I have a hard time remembering! Which makes me sad.... Things were definitely busy...not chaotic...just busy.
Charity was always 'Daddy's girl'. She loved to be cuddled and was so content to sleep with Daddy. She is a definite 'people pleaser'.
Eve was our biggest, at 4lbs 1oz. That girl liked to eat! We use to joke that Eve never spit up because she didn't believe in wasting food! Eve is a sweetheart. An 'old soul'.
Prayer was always causing a stir. She refused to latch for a good while. She choked on her vitamins and had us in a panic...Now she is just crazy! Still, she is always up to something!
It has been amazing to watch them grow. To see the relationship they have with eachother and how inseparable they are. They can't sleep alone...they've never had to. I remember how they use to sleep side by side in the crib and they would suck on the back of eachother's heads when they woke up and were looking to nurse. lol. They still sleep side by side, or sometimes stacked three high! So many memories...way too many to list here!
I feel blessed to have been chosen to be their mother.
So Happy Birthday to my three beautiful 6 year olds!

Spinal cord injuries can have a devastating impact on a patient's life. For the canine patient, spinal cord injuries are surprisingly common, accounting for approximately 2% of all cases that are presented to the veterinarian*. The most common forms of injuries arise from acute disc herniation, spinal trauma, fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy and chronic diseases including degenerative myelopathy and spinal stenosis. While the initial injury to the spine is a major concern, it's the secondary effects of that trauma that have long lasting effects including impaired blood flow which can lead to "stroke-like" events.
Spinal tissue has poor regenerative properties, which can provide a challenge to the attending veterinarian when choosing a treatment program for their patient. Depending on the severity of the injury, some patients can make a significant recovery with a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Some patients, however, may remain unresponsive to physical rehabilitation and require further intervention. Below is an overview to a case study originally reported in Veterinary Practice News (February 2016) by David R. Mason, B. Vet. Med, DACVS, DECVS, of Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center. This case study focuses on a young, 5-year-old Labrador Retriever named Duncan with Fibrocartilaginous Embolic Myelopathy (FCE).
FCE is a condition in which a fragment of disc material is somehow forced into the spinal vasculature. This migration of disc material causes a "stroke-like" event, cutting off blood flow to the surrounding spinal tissue. This event can cause partial or complete paralysis to the patient. FCE is most commonly reported in large and giant breeds, but is also prevalent in sheep dogs and miniature schnauzers. The most common treatment protocol for patients with FCE is based around aggressive supportive care and physical therapy.
Duncan's owners reported that he was in the back yard when he vocalized and then was found unable to move his back limbs. After undergoing a thorough evaluation at Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center (LVVSC), it was determined that Duncan was suffering from FCE. Subsequently, Duncan was enrolled in a 16-month rehabilitation program, but his condition did not improve and he remained non-ambulatory in his back limbs. Knowing that additional treatment options were limited for Duncan, Dr. Mason elected to treat Duncan with a combination of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC). Duncan was treated with an epidural injection of PRP/BMAC solution which was produced using the Companion Regenerative Therapies System. After injection, Duncan recovered from anesthesia without incident and returned to his dedicated rehabilitation program.
By day 14, Duncan's owners reported an increase in energy and after continuing his rehabilitation, Duncan is now able to take several steps without the assistance of a sling or cart. Although Duncan's condition may not return fully to pre-injury form, this case provides a positive outlook to treating spinal conditions with regenerative medicine.

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman dead from drug overdose
Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died tragically on the weekend (Sunday, AEST time), presumably from an overdose of heroin. His body was found in his Greenwich Village, New York apartment by friend, author and director David Katz.
Investigators reported that a syringe was still stuck in Seymour Hoffman's left forearm, while beside him lay two plastic envelopes with what appeared to be heroin inside. Five other empty plastic envelopes were found in a bin nearby.
The actor's battle with drugs was not news to industry folk. Indeed, he went public in a 2006 interview with '60 Minutes', admitting he had been on and off recreational drugs and prescription pills since his early twenties.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman's acting credentials are extensive and include potent roles in 'Doubt', 'Charlie Wilson's War', 'Scent Of A Woman', 'Boogie Nights', 'The Hunger Games', 'The Master', and of course his Academy Award-winning lead performance in 'Capote'.
He leaves behind three children – a son and two daughters – whom he fathered with long-term partner, Mimi O'Donnell.

David Lynch's Best Forgotten Characters
When I saw that Time Out had done a list of the best 50 Lynch characters my reaction was something like, "Jesus, 50? That's click-bait madness". Then I took a look at the list and realised that not only were the 50 choices all excellent, but that there were plenty of other brilliant characters missing.
What it really brought home is how exceptionally good Lynch is at making even the smallest part memorable. He is a master of the odd behavioural tic, the unexpected casting, the bizarre frozen moment of heightened significance. And as a small tribute here are my favourite seven Lynch characters that embody that skill, and weren't included in Time Out's 50.
1. Guild Navigator – Dune, 1984
Dune is a brilliant mess of ideas Lynch clearly fell in love with and a commercial mode of filmmaking he couldn't get a grip on. It's a dichotomy that gave us the unspeakable. But it also gave us this – a giant spice-breathing space slug in a big jar capable of folding space with its mind.
2. Major Briggs – Twin Peaks, 1989
The big recurring cast of Twin Peaks presented Lynch with opportunities for all kinds of oddballism. My favourite – Major Garland Briggs, the father of petulant juvenile Bobby whose stiff bearing becomes rigid military poetry when he's exposed to the euphoria of the White Lodge.
3. Piter De Vries – Dune, 1984
Lynch takes Frank Herbert's notion of Mentats as human computers and makes them awesomely compelling mind-junkies by inventing a weird chant and giving them huge fucking eyebrows. "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed. The lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."
4. Agent Phillip Jeffries – Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me, 1993
This is the best moment in Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me. I have no explanation for it, except that David Bowie's Phillip Jeffries seems to have been taken by the forces of the Black Lodge. But I love the stunt with the security camera – removing our faith in the recorded image at a stroke – and the spiralling urgency which Bowie's appearance provokes.
5. Rebekah Del Rio – Mulholland Dr, 2001
Del Rio's short appearance in the Club Silencio section of Mulholland Dr is one of the rare things I'm allowed to call 'stunning' without sounding like a hyberbolic dick. It's crammed with ideas: she's introduced as "La Llorona de Los Angeles," a modern take on a Mexican folk tale of a ghostly weeping woman and the latest in a long line of women singing on stage in Lynch's work (Lady In The Radiator, Isabella Rossellini, Julee Cruise). Her performance is an echo of Dean Stockwell's sleazy torchlit strut in Blue Velvet – where he mimed to Roy Orbison's In Dreams, she pours herself into a Spanish translation of Orbison's Crying. And of course, she's found to be miming too, the resounding emotional power of her voice mocking the audience's investment as she collapses to the floor and underpinning the film's fractured take on what is and isn't real.
6. The Yellow Man – Blue Velvet, 1986
The weirdness of Blue Velvet's small town suburbia reaches its apotheosis when Jeffrey discovers the still-warm murder scene inside Dorothy's apartment, featuring Dorothy's dead husband and, standing impossibly next to him, The Yellow Man. He's neither alive nor obviously dead, lobotomised on the spot and – along with the whining, broken television – giving us the sense that Jeffrey is interrupting something active and ongoing.
7. Audrey Horne's fucking shoes – Twin Peaks, 1989
Which speak entirely for themselves.
andrew adams permalinkFebruary 16, 2012 8:43 pm
Major Briggs is probably my favourite character in Twin Peaks, so that's a good call.
I think the Giant deserves a mention too, and the lady in the radiator from Eraserhead probably merits a place in her own right.

On a day when the entire country is expected to honour and celebrate the enactment of India's 66-year strong Constitution, the Modi government, in a print advertisement issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, made a glaring error in the Preamble of the Constitution removing the words socialist and secular.
In its advertisement - DAVP22201/13/0048/1415, which was published on 26 January - the government quotes the preamble of India's Constitution as "We the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC...." as opposed to the genuine version (after the 42nd amendment) that states: WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens..."
While the error could well be an oversight by the designer of the advertisement, the fact that the word 'secular' has been omitted is significant. That this has happened on Republic Day, which celebrates the diversity of all Indian cultures, makes it all the more problematic.
The government would do well to issue a clarification, given that the last few months have seen continuous protests by the opposition as well as religious outfits after several Hindutva outfits including ruling BJP legislators have made controversial remarks against religious minorities, and a 'ghar wapsi' campaign, based on the premise that all citizens of India were originally Hindus has generated outrage across the country.

|My new little rabbit, waiting for Régis
I wasn't looking for a rabbit when I wandered through my favourite brocante in Rennes last spring, but when I found this special ridge tile-- a terracotta petit lapin-- I couldn't resist. I took him home and painted him black, to match the slate tiles on the top of Breton houses.
|Putting the new roof on the barn
And a big job indeed it was when (in the way of French workmen) Régis finally got round to doing it in September. But Régis is quite the artist and was happy to secure my little rabbit on the roof of the cottage that bears its name. So there he is now, waiting to welcome the next guests to 'Le Petit Lapin'.

A Family to Call Ours is a great addition to the Front Porch Promises series. Just like the two prior books in the series, this novel can stand alone for those who have not read the entire series.
I really enjoyed this contemporary Christian tale. Tara and Caleb were very likable. They both carried hurts from the past that made them hesitant to fully trust their hearts. Hailey, Tara's daughter, was an important part of this book, as well. Her character was very realistic and added to the warm feeling in the novel. A Family to Call Ours highlighted the importance of forgiveness and of letting go of anger. The emotional journeys that both Caleb and Tara took throughout the story were insightful and the romance woven through the pages was sweet.
(4.5 stars)
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinons are my own.
Young widow Tara Madsen has spent the last couple of years dealing with her daughter Hailey's battle with cancer. A new job means the opportunity to give Hailey the best Christmas ever, but the arrival of Caleb Fitzpatrick, her employers' son, puts that goal in jeopardy.
Caleb returns to his small Massachusetts hometown with one mission—to make sure another charlatan doesn't take advantage of his parents and their generosity. When he meets Tara, the new office manager at the family business, he is immediately on guard. A pretty blonde fooled him once before, and he will make sure it doesn't happen again.
Will Tara's loving and giving nature soften Caleb's heart and help him learn to trust and love again?

It's no secret that summertime in the UAE can see temperatures rising above 50 degrees Celsius. Now that's hot, very hot, dangerously hot at times! Your skin, the body's largest organ, is put into alot of stress during the summer months as it works to keep you cool and protected. This stress from the hot weather may sometimes lead to adverse reactions or complications with your skin. There are a few problems that can affect people during summer; here are the most common, and the doctor's advice on how to manage each.
Always wear sunscreen to protect your skin. One of the most common skin diseases in the UAE occurs from over exposure to the sun. After spending time outdoors or at the beach, you can easily end up with a terrible sunburn. Your skin will be red and become very sensitive. You will likely have to apply an after-sun lotion to treat your burnt skin to help with the sensitivity and speed the healing process. However, preventing this problem is easier than treating it afterwards. Make applying sun screen a normal part of your daily practice for you and your family during the summer months to protect everyone from the painful effects of sun burn, and what it may lead to – skin cancer.
Normally, acne is a problem for those with oily skin however, hot and humid weather conditions can flare up the problem even in those who are not usually prone to skin breakouts. Sweat produced on our skin attracts dust and dirt. This then clogs up the pores on your skin leading to excess acne and providing bacteria the perfect environment to thrive in. To minimize the problem, always wash your 3 times a day and use a good facewash to keep the oil level on your skin under control. You don't want to be too dry or too oily, which leads to the next point.
Heat dries up moisture and that means hot weather causes all the moisture on your skin to evaporate. This can lead to chaffing, itchy skin, chapped lips and more. The most obvious way to prevent this is to keep yourself hydrated. Use moisturizing creams when necessary to lock in moisture on your skin. Drinking alot of water and juices and adding fruits to your diet also helps.
Apart from all the other problems that can plague your skin during hot and humid weather conditions, heat rashes are among the most common. Combining heat with sweat and dirt, your skin reacts in the only way possible by developing rashes that are red and itchy. Trapped perspiration coupled with tight or irritable clothes can cause mini rashes, bumps and/or blisters on your skin. The solution? Keep yourself squeaky clean. Bathe daily and if this is not an option, the fastest solution is to rub the affected area with ice cubes to cool the skin and calm the rash.
Like anything, prevention is better than cure. Just remember to always keep yourself clean, fresh, hydrated and moisturized, yes even for men.
For those living in or visiting the UAE, there are some world-class dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons practicing in the region who offer a wide range of treatments for acute and chronic skin conditions and cosmetic care.

- Aquaria
- 5 years ago
- Wedding: February 2013
I have a niece who is in her early 20's. She lives close by but never comes home to visit. She left home shortly after dropping out of high school. I haven't seen her in a good 6 years or so. She hates my Brother-In-Law even though he's been a very devoted stepfather to her since she was 8 years old. Her biological father isn't in her life at all. I think part of their personality conflict may be that he's only 17 years older than her and she doesn't see him as an authority figure. My husband kind of resents her for being so disrespectful to his brother.
My other niece, her younger half sister, is a wonderful girl. She loves spending time with her family (which is rare for a tween) and is a real sweet heart. I want to give her a nice Christmas gift. My dilemma is this: do I get a gift for her sister as well? My husband says absolutely not, especially since we won't be seeing her anyway (SIL would have to drop it by her place I guess), but I feel strange gifting one niece and not the other in front of my SIL. I'm sure she loves both her daughters equally. If you were my SIL would you be upset that only one of your daughters received a gift?

McDonogh's Class of 2019 officially became upperclassmen at the annual Junior Pin Ceremony on Sunday, October 1. The evening began with a casual advisory dinner in Paterakis Dining Hall, after which students spilled onto the Ritter Terrace for photographs. The junior class then processed into the Ceres M. Horn Theatre for the ceremony, which included remarks from Junior Class Dean Libet Ottinger and class officers Hannah F. and Ethan C., followed by a slideshow of memories created by Anna J. and Abby F. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of gold McD lapel pins by Head of Upper School Merritt Livermore and Headmaster Charlie Britton. At the conclusion of the evening, Britton spoke about the meaning of the pin and encouraged the students to wear theirs with pride.
