Trekking in Nepal is the best way to experience the enjoyment of trekking, as Nepal is famous for World's top classic trekking trails. Due to the diversified land structure, Nepal has the high potentiality of doing trekking activities. In spite of having these benefits Himalayan Smile is organizing different hiking and trekking programs in different trekking trails since a decade.
Basically, trekking in Nepal can be categorized in two types; Short treks and long treks. Short treks can be completed in short period of time within a week and long trek needs more than a week to complete. Fortunately due to the land structure, Nepal enjoys having both long and short trekking routes. There are so many trekking routes which we cannot count in a finger and there are numbers of off beaten trekking trails which are not explored yet. And if you are planning for trekking in Nepal, these available trekking routes are sufficient in numbers. Trekking in Nepal includes easy treks to tough treks. Even beginners who don't have trekking experience and want to enjoy the trekking also can trek and enjoy the treks. Some trekking points for beginners are Ghorepani Poonhill treks, Everest View treks, Namche Bazaar treks and many more others trekking route. Also, hiking programs can be included in this type of trekking. Similarly while pointing some names of long trekking route we can point out Everest trekking, Annapurna trekking, Langtang trekking, Manaslu trekking, Kanchenjunga trekking and others more sub-trekking routes. Trekking in Himalayan region is a little bit tough and adventurous than in hilly region.
However, Trekking in Nepal is platform for those who are beginners and experts. Trekking in Nepal gives you the immense pleasure of trekking with natural smell, hospitality of innocent local people and remote village which is far from western culture. These abstract things make you thoughtful that you are in different planet, a planet of peace and piece of heaven.
So here are some Trekking in Nepal packages specially designed for both beginners and expert trekkers. And hence, if you are planning to enjoy the trek in this holiday remember Nepal and if you are planning to do trek in Nepal remember Himalayan Smile Treks and Adventure. We are always ready to welcome you warmly here in Nepal.
I had a plan of trekking in Annapaurna Ghorepani from long time. But because of lack of sufficient of leisure time I could not fulfill my plan. But this time I managed it and I came to Nepal with five colleagues. After we landed at Kathmandu Airport we were heartily welcomed by Himalayan Smile team. In Kathmandu we stayed at The Malla Hotel, beautiful five star hotel. There we were introduced our trekking guide Mr. Nabin Rai. He was experienced trekking guide. Next day we went to Pokhara by flight. And same day we started trekking. We began our trekking from Nayapul and ended at same spot. This trekking was really amazing and incredible one. Great mountain view, beautiful ethnic villages, local hospitality was memorable things we all experienced. Our guide and porters were so friendly. We could never forget their services to us.H.

Britain's William Shakespeare and his Chinese contemporary, Tang Xianzu, are united after four centuries in a new Chinese Kunqu Opera at "The Actors' Church", St. Paul's, in London's Covent Garden.
The production, A Shakespearean Handan Dream, combines parts of the two classical masters' works and compares similarities of emotions and themes, such as death, power and ambition.
The Chinese part centers on Tang's play Handan Dream, which is interwoven with fragments of Shakespeare in English, featuring characters including King Lear and Macbeth.
The production, with British and Chinese actors performing in their own languages, is part of cultural events this year commemorating the 400th anniversary of the deaths of both Britain's and China's most celebrated playwrights. It also forms part of Nanjing Week within the 2016 London Design Festival.
"What fascinates me is the fact that 400 years ago there were two amazing playwrights who did not know each other, but who wrote plays with so much in common. They both explore the idea that we are all hungry for power and authority, but ultimately those things are worthless in the face of death," said Leon Rubin, who co-directed the production with Chinese counterpart Ke Jun.
Similar themes
Handan Dream is the last of Tang's four masterpieces. In the original text, frustrated scholar-official Lu Sheng dreams of a 50-year political career of success and glory, excess and failure, but wakes to find no time has passed.
The play looks at the transience of human existence and futility of earthly desire and ambition.By combining it with similar themes from Shakespeare's work, the adaptation compares attitudes and cultures in Elizabethan England and Ming Dynasty China.
The Chinese director and lead actor Ke Jun is an award-winning Kunqu Opera performer and a key practitioner of "new-concept Kunqu".
Chinese performer swear traditional costumes, with elaborate headdresses, colorful traditional robes and heavy facial makeup. The British performers dress in traditional Shakespearean costumes.
Georgiana Dacombe, an artist from London who saw the show, said it was "spectacular and beautiful".
"It is a brilliant idea to combine the Chinese and English parts together in the production and draw out the commonalities between the two," she said.
Cameron Manson, a student from the East 15 drama school, was impressed with the way actors connected with characters created four centuries ago to show certain human emotions are common and universal.
Kunqu Opera was recognized by UNESCO in 2001 as an intangible cultural heritage.

Omaha, NE (WWBT)- Entering Friday, a 15 seed had only upset a two seed in the NCAA Tournament four times in history, the last being Hampton in 2001, when the Pirates knocked off Iowa State. At the end of the night on Friday, two 15 seeds had accomplished the feat in one day.
Norfolk State and Lehigh pulled off the improbable, advancing to the second round with wins over number two seeds. The Spartans entered as the 15 seed in the West Region and upset Missouri, 86-84. The two teams went into the half tied at 38, and Norfolk State survived some tense moments down the stretch to hold on for the win. Kyle O'Quinn paced the Spartans with 26 points and 14 rebounds. Chris McEachin and Pendarvis Williams pitched in 20 points each to help Norfolk State pull off the monumental upset. Norfolk State will move on to face seventh seeded Florida on Sunday.
In Greensboro, it was Lehigh taking down Duke in the South Region, 75-70. Duke held a two point lead at the half, but it would be the Mountain Hawks out-playing the Blue Devils down the stretch to clinch the upset. Guard C.J. McCollum dropped a game high 30 points for Lehigh on 10-of-16 shooting. The Hawks advance to face Xavier in Sunday's second round.

Celtic: Barcelona left shocked in Scotland
7/11/12 – a date which every single Celtic supporter will remember for the rest of their lives. The date was already special as it marks the club's 125th anniversary, but their 2-1 victory over one of the greatest teams in the world was the icing on top.
It's not every day a Scottish club like Celtic will beat a team like Barcelona in a competition like the Champions League. But it was the day the Bhoys in Green stunned football pundits around the world, as they defied all odds.
Going into this fixture, Celtic were definitely the underdogs, even though they were narrowly defeated away to Barcelona. Celtic may have been labelled as the small fries, but that didn't keep them from thinking positive and playing like they had won the competition 4 times over themselves.
Ahead of the monstrous game, Neil Lennon made four changes to the side which drew against Dundee United on the weekend. Scott Brown was ruled out due to illness, while Thomas Rogne and Emilio Izaguirre were left out because of injuries. Youngster Tony Watt was dropped off the starting line up as Mikael Lustig, Efe Ambrose, Georgios Samaras and Miku made way into the starting 11.
?Ahead of the match, Celtic fans decorated Celtic Park in honour of the club's 125th anniversary. Prepared by the Green Brigade, Celtic Park was wreathed in green and white – a stunning display to join the already energetic and high powered atmosphere travelling throughout the stadium.
Barcelona started off the game in front of a crowd of 60,000 at Celtic Park. Both teams took a while to settle into the game, but it was the Bhoys in Green who took the first jump at the scoreboard. Victor Wanyama tore up the pitch towards goal, sending the Barcelona defence into panic mode.
He won the Hoops a corner, which then resulted into a goal for Celtic. Wanyama jumped above both teams to head Charlie Mulgrew's fine corner into the net; and if anyone asks, Wanyama is the one responsible for the earthquake caused by Celtic fans which shook up the ground in Celtic Park.
Six minutes later, Celtic had a sufficient chance to double their lead against Barcelona. Adam Matthews came charging down the left flank and almost received his first assist for the club, if only Victor Valdes had not intercepted the ball from Georgios Samaras.
?Barcelona were buoyant as they sped towards goal. At the half hour mark, Lionel Messi powered a ball which Forster just got his fingertips to. Alexis also joined Messi in hitting the woodwork as Barcelona increased the pressure, but they failed in gaining anything for their efforts as Celtic walked off the pitch at half time with their 1-0 lead.
Barcelona started off the second half as the stronger side. After a series of corners from Barcelona, Celtic still managed to keep a clean sheet thanks to some excellent defending from their players. Fraser Forster was even down on all fours as Barcelona continued to fire balls from left, right and centre at the Englishmen.
It was Forster's exceptional goalkeeping which gave Celtic their second goal of the night. Forster's ball deceived the likes of Xavi, which gave the chance for Tony Watt to slot the ball past the Barcelona keeper – a reflection of Alex Morgan's World Cup goal against Japan last year.
"It's the most special goal of my life. I don't know if I'll ever score a goal as important as that in my career, the second in a 2-1 win," said Tony Watt.
There still might have been 7 or so minutes left in normal time, but Celtic fans were celebrating as if they had already won the Champions League. Not even Messi's quick tap in could kill their mood. As the referee blew his whistle to signal full time, the roar of the crowd quickly deafened everyone watching from home. The game ended 2-1 and Neil Lennon's Bhoys had just made history.
"I think it´s one of the greatest nights in the club´s recent history and very poignant on our 125th anniversary," said the manager. "To play Barcelona in such a prestigious game and then win the game under huge difficulties with the squad decimated by injuries and illness – the players are heroes, they are heroes to me."
"I can't speak highly enough of their performances tonight, and they will go down in the history books as the side that beat probably the best team in the world."
Fraser Forster hailed the fighting spirit of his team mates against the Spanish giants:
"It was a fantastic team performance. I'm delighted to have made some saves and contributed, but we put up an amazing fight for the 90 minutes. We had a lot of injuries, but we coped with it ever so well and I'm delighted with the result. I like the challenge of the big games – they're the ones you dream about playing in as a kid."
?With 5 attempts on goal, 5 on target, 11% possession and 166 total passes, compared to a whopping 23 attempts on goal, 14 on target, 89% possession and 955 total passes, not only have Celtic raised the bar in the Champions League for their up and coming rivals, but they have also boosted the Scottish League and their own reputation in stunning fashion.
It even left Rod Stewart in tears by the end of the match.
Some would even say it was sweeter than 2004…..

Ever since it existed, the Windows Taskbar has appeared at the bottom of the screen. While it has changed in design over the years, that horizontal bar has become synonymous with the operating system. But did you know you can set it to appear vertically?
We're not only going to show you how to get a vertical Taskbar, but also argue its case. It might seem like a strange change at first, but trust us when we say it's something worth trying out.
If you've got any thoughts to share on a vertical Taskbar, or if you've been using one for a while, please let us know in the comments.
How to Get a Vertical Windows Taskbar
First, right-click an empty space on your Windows Taskbar. Then check to see if Lock the taskbar has a tick next to it. If it does, click it, otherwise you're already set. Next, left-click and hold an empty space on your Taskbar and drag it to either the left or right of your screen. Release your mouse, then lock the Taskbar. That's it!
The Benefits of a Vertical Windows Taskbar
Without further ado, let's discuss why you should use a vertical Windows Taskbar.
1. Widescreen Displays
Monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio were standard when the Windows Taskbar first hit the scene. It made sense to have the Taskbar on the bottom to maximize the limited real estate you had on screen. However, now your monitor is likely to be far wider than it is tall, meaning you have more horizontal space to play with than you do vertical.
Consider also that many websites and applications don't make full use of horizontal space and are designed responsively to account for mobile displays. Take this very website — you can happily lose a bit of white space on the sides to benefit from fitting more of the article on screen.
2. See More at Once
Now that you have horizontal space to play with, you can extend the Windows Taskbar past the thin strip you're used to. For this, hover on the border of the Taskbar until the cursor changes. Then left-click, hold, and drag to make the Taskbar wider.
You'll benefit from being able to see the full date and time, plus more of the icons in your tray and any toolbars you might have enabled Use Windows 10's Secret Taskbar to Navigate Like a Pro Use Windows 10's Secret Taskbar to Navigate Like a Pro Finding files and folders on Windows 10 can be a nuisance, so here's a quick way to find them without any navigational headaches. Read More . And depending on your Taskbar settings, which you can adjust at any time by right-clicking an empty space and selecting Settings, you'll also see more of a window's title.
3. More Natural to Read
You might think that reading left to right is natural for the majority of the world, but if you have your Windows Taskbar spread out over a huge horizontal space it isn't totally efficient. Instead, having your Taskbar vertical means that you quickly see everything with a single glance at the side of your screen.
Every window is a separate row on the Taskbar, so you can quickly scan down the list and find the icon and window name. It might not seem like a major benefit, but it's a subtle quality of life improvement that you'll find hard to go back from.
4. Less Obstructive
This one is especially true if you're using a touch device. Having your Windows Taskbar at the bottom of your screen can be cumbersome to control, particularly if you have a keyboard attached at the same time because it can be awkward to reach. Placing the Taskbar on the side of your dominant hand is much more natural.
Also, if you set your Windows Taskbar to autohide How to Auto Hide the Taskbar in Windows 10 Tablet Mode How to Auto Hide the Taskbar in Windows 10 Tablet Mode Now you can auto-hide the taskbar in Tablet Mode, which is a new feature arriving in the next big Windows 10 build! Read More and have it positioned at the top or bottom of your screen, you might find that you have trouble performing certain actions like resizing windows because the Taskbar will either activate at the wrong time or force itself over where you need to click. Having the Taskbar vertical combats this problem entirely.
Autohide can be problematic.

Join the Vertical Windows Taskbar Movement
It might seem strange to have your Windows Taskbar vertically at first, especially if you've been used to the Windows default for years, but try it out. It'll take a bit of time to get used to, so don't get frustrated if you keep pulling your mouse to the bottom of your screen, but it's worth sticking with.

Do you have your Windows Taskbar set vertically? What do you find advantageous about that setup?

Most of these changes can also be found in the Taskbar Settings (right-click on Taskbar for a quick go-to) such as turning Taskbar Text on/off, People and Multiple Display choices. Choice of position of Taskbar has been around for years but position seems to be more a preference on display being used for me. Tried the "Auto Hide Taskbar", but started to bug me after awhile. :D
I have placed the Taskbar on the right for years now, this gives more usable screen space.
The Task Bar in older versions of Windows could be hidden by simply dragging. They eliminated this option somewhere around Vista or so. The Auto-hide function does not work for me, regardless whether the task bar is at the top, bottom, or either side. Evidently Microsoft took this feature away because some Noobs were traumatised when it got hidden accidently somehow. Wish they would reactivate that feature. I've tried 3rd party add-ons, but they don't work that well either and you have to constantly restart them.
I have been using a vertical taskbar for a long time now, at work or at home.
I've been using a left side vertical Taskbar for over 20 years. It just makes more sense to me.
I use the standard bottom taskbar on a 16:10 display and a vertical on a 16:9. I really wish though that computer manufacturers would switch back to 16:10 though so I could have all my proper horizontal labels!
I feel like I've walked into a third grade computer science class room.....
I have been using a vertical taskbar on Windows 10 for more than a year now. I also auto-hide it. The problem is, when I extend my Windows 10 laptop display at work, the taskbar does not even appear on my main display, but instead I see a flickering black border surrounding the invisible taskbar. On the external displays, it does not disappear but they freeze, not allowing me to do anything on them. Until I turn off the auto-hide feature. Weirdly I don't have this issue on the personal Win 10 laptop I use at home.

I tried that because I realized there's space on the side that is mostly unused in my screen but the scrollbars look really annoying. The look of the scrollbar in the taskbar doesn't work with the rest, design-wise. Anyway to remove it or, at least, customize it?
i'VE HAD THE TASKBAR ON THE LEFT SIDE FOR YEARS ON DIFFERENT WINDOWS VERSIONS. PEOPLE WHO USE MY COMPUTERS THINK ITS WEIRD ALTHOUGH A COUPLE FRIENDS, WHO HAD NO IDEA THAT COULD BE DONE NOW HAVE IT SETUP THAT WAY ON THEIRS . THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IF YOU USE TWO MONITORS SET UP AS EXTENDED DISPLAYS, THEY CANT CONNECT ON THE SIDE THE TASKBAR IS ON OTHERWISE YOUR MOUSE WILL JUMP TO THE OTHER SCREEN WHEN TRYING TO USE THE TASKBAR. (UNLESS YOUR MOUSE IS SET TO "SLOW" WHICH ISN'T IDEAL FOR LARGER SCREENS)
Settle down guy!
Why so angry, man?!?
Most of a vertical taskbar is just plain empty! Horizontally, much fewer space is wasted. You shouldn't have ultra-wide monitors if the extra space is so useless. If the space you need is vertical, then get a high monitor to go with all the vertical websites and digital world.
Doing this for many years. And the wide screen is why I prefer browsers that allow vertical tabs.
That leaves Firefox, correct? (and the new, proof-of-concept Opera Neon) Or are there others I'm not aware of?
Jon, you are right. So far as I am aware Firefox and its variations are the only browsers with extensions that create vertical tabs. An opportunity for extension-writers everywhere!
There's also Vivaldi, which has built-in support for vertical tabs on either side of the browser.
Trying it out... it's different. I use DisplayFusion to handle the 4 monitors so I've had to disable it's taskbar handling, and moved the standard one to the left-most monitor. It does give me more screen room, we'll see how inconvenient it is or isn't to move the mouse all the way to the left.
I've been doing this since the days of OS/2, where a vertical taskbar was standard. It's the first thing I change on any machine I'm going to use regularly.
I would but I wish you could orient it so that the start button could still be in the bottom corner instead of the top corner.
Exactly what I wanted as well. I have an Ultra-wide monitor, which justifies the use of vertical taskbar even more. For the past few weeks I have moved to vertical, but i believe that it would be more handy to totally "mirror" it. For the Start menu to be on the bottom and the clock, language and taskbar icons on the top.
Does anybody have any clue how to do that?
I ran the taskbar on the left edge for years, and still would except for two problems: First, the problem above where the order seems wrong - there should be an option to reverse the order, so the Win/Start icon is still at the bottom left. But this is a niggle, really, compared to the second problem which is far more serious in Windows 10: You lose Cortana's "Ask me anything" input field with the taskbar on the side! I find that I really use this feature a LOT to instantly find/jump to files or programs - I don't even know where to find most of my programs anymore - to launch Excel, I just click and type "xl[enter]" (Interestingly, this abbreviation works!), or to use the new Linux tools, I just click and type "ub[enter]" for the Ubuntu bash shell! Oddly, you can click the Cortana ring and get Cortana and her input field to pop open, but that's a much more fiddly target to hit than the big ol' input field. It's enough of a difference that I prefer the menu at the bottom, now. Maybe the Cortana icon should be on a gray background to make it stand out a bit more like it does when it's at the bottom?
The mic icon is handy, too, and I find I'm using it more and more. It also goes walkabout if you put the taskbar on the side. Oddly, Cortana's voice recognition behavior from the taskbar is different from her behavior after explicitly clicking the Cortana ring icon - go figure. Just another one of those visible seams in the too-slowly healing Win10 monster stitched together from parts of at least three OSes...
You know, if you just click on the Cortana or Start icon, and start typing, you get the same effect. I typically tap the Windows key and start typing. It all does the same thing without the field being visible. Whether the field is visible or not, you still have one click or one keypress and start typing.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
I have been using the vertical task bar because I found the new screen too shallow. Even thought I have attached the laptop to the older screen it works still.
My biggest beef is that the websites can in so wide.
I have a vertical Dock on my Mac, but on my Surface, I put the taskbar at the top. It feels more natural to me--more like the Apple Menubar. And it have just icons, and a very skinny bar. It works for me. I tried the vertical bar on the right, like on my Mac when I first bought the Surface (first thing I did, in fact, was move the taskbar to the right), but it always felt awkward. I tried the left, and it was no better, and finally, in a blast of insight, realized the top would work as well (due to Windows having no menubar--why? Microsoft? Why no unified menubar and unified system of menus? Every app I have to figure out the most basic things, because every app is different. The only ones that make sense to me are Mac ports.) ;-) Anyway, it's been up there for the past four months, and I couldn't be happier. I tried the vertical for about 10 seconds after reading this article, and flipped it back up top immediately. Couldn't do it! I dunno. Maybe my comment will inspire other ex-Mac users to try it. ;-)
I use linux and a vertical bar. With monitors so wide now it only makes sense to use the side instead of a top or bottom bar. I wish i3 would accept vertical bars. I use openbox mostly.

Chicken Fritz
I originally posted about this recipe on Food52, but I wanted to make sure that you guys didn't miss the story or the brilliant stuff my family does with leftover chicken.
Here's the story:
My Grandma Esther grew up in Brooklyn, not all that far from where I live now. When she was raising my dad and my uncles in neighboring Queens, she was a wonderful and resourceful cook, known for her "cement soup" (aka split pea) and her oil-based plum cake. She invented this dish, an easy stovetop chicken hash, because her sons were picky eaters.
"Chicken Fritz came to the table because your dad and your uncles would not eat white meat," she told me. "Every Friday I used one chicken for soup and roasted one—thereby leaving me with a lot of it."
According to Grandma Esther, the boys wouldn't eat chicken salad, the capable cook's normal go-to use for leftover soup meat.
But, grandma said: "the boys would eat anything in the form of a latke."
Also known as a hash brown! Brilliant Chicken Fritz doesn't resemble boring white meat or gloppy chicken salad in the least. To make it, Grandma Esther fried chopped onions until their edges browned, then added shredded soup chicken to the skillet. The small pieces crisped up and absorbed the onion's sweet notes. Lastly, she flavored the whole skillet with sweet paprika. Her daughter in law—my mother—thinks the purpose of the spice may be to further mask the white meat, but it tastes good too.
No matter that this is a dish of necessity, geared towards the taste buds of some 1950s-era children in Queens. It is delicious.
So though I'm not as picky as my dad and uncles, I do make an awful lot of chicken soup and can only eat so many chicken salad sandwiches. I grew up eating Chicken Fritz after my mom made soup, and the hash stands up to my grown-up tastes and needs. Because, like my grandma before me, I love to make homemade chicken broth but struggle to eat all the meat. Chicken Fritz is the obvious answer. Click over to the Food52 post to see a photo of my lovely Grandma Esther around the time she invented this dish.
Chicken Fritz
Makes 3-4 servings when served with mashed potatoes
You can include pieces of chicken skin even if they seem kind of soft. Just make sure they get to the bottom of the skillet with plenty of time to crisp up. Unlike my grandma, I use both dark and white meat—whatever's left.
¼ cup safflower or olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups cooked chicken (white or dark meat), shredded
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the oil and the onions and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are cooked through and golden brown around the edges. Make sure they don't burn. Sprinkle with salt, then add the chicken and toss to coat with the oil and onions. Cook for another 15 minutes, mixing occasionally. You want the chicken to become really crispy around the edges. This is when you'll realize that Chicken Fritz is a glorified hash. Hooray! Sprinkle again with salt, then add the paprika. Keep stirring, making sure the chicken gets coated in the spices and is as crispy as you'd like it to be – though don't dry it out completely. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
Chicken Fritz is always served on top of mashed potatoes. Depending on your style, you can mix them together with the potatoes or alternate bites of each.

Kroger Commits to 100% Cage-Free Future for Egg Supply
Watershed moment reached in decades-long quest to change cruel farming practice
Kroger, the country's largest traditional supermarket chain, has announced it will ensure 100 percent of the eggs it sells nationwide come from cage-free chickens by 2025, representing a major moment in a decades-long quest to end the cruel practice of confining hens in cages so tightly, they can't even spread their wings.
Kroger operates over 3,400 supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide under two dozen local banner names, including Kroger, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, City Market, and Dillons.
"With the country's largest traditional supermarket chain pinpointing a time in the near future when all its eggs will be cage-free, the days of America's egg industry locking hens away in cages are officially numbered," says Josh Balk, senior director of food policy for The Humane Society of the United States. "This is a real watershed moment."
In recent months, the movement to free hens from cages has reached its tipping point. This week alone, Kroger competitors Albertson's—the country's second-largest grocery chain—and Delhaize—another major grocery chain the operates the Hannaford and Food Lion chains—also announced 100% cage-free policies, as have dozens of other major food companies.

Bright Berry Farms
Bright Berry Farms was originally established by owners Colin and Lorraine Leita to produce first quality berries, jams and syrups, which were difficult to find. Remembering as a child the jams, syrups and fruit just tasted so good, Colin and Lorraine found new jams and syrups they purchased had little flavour and tasted over-sweet. Hence they decided to bring back the flavour by producing their own! The first raspberries were planted on the farm in 1993 and original plantings were less than an acre. Since then the farm has grown to the size it is today, consisting of 20 acres of berries, eight acres of vineyard, five acres of cherries and three acres of mixed produce (nuts, apples, figs). In the early days the farm was open for people to come and pick their own berries. This activity has since been replaced by buying pre-picked berries, ice-creams, sorbets and sitting under the trees, enjoying the famous Bright Berry Farms Berry Cup! The Mt Buffalo Vineyard label was incorporated into Bright Berry Farms in 1997 and produces cool-climate reds, some of which have been highly-rated by Australian wine critics. They believe they are now producing fruit and products that taste like they are supposed to taste. They work very hard at maintaining high-quality standards across their product range and encourage people to sample their products to see for themselves.

text: You know what? Even these breitling replica sale various Bulgari watches that I got to play with had slightly different dial colors. They were prototypes, but illustrated the cartier replica sale fact that minor differences in production can change the blue tones in a way that takes them from beautiful to boring. Layers of PVD application often go into creating the blue replica watches sale tones, and getting them just right is a mixture of the right color, metallic finish, and gloss. Getting the right color blue dial is an art form rolex replica sale that combines not only the right eye, but also an understanding of the production techniques. Getting a blue dial too glossy makes them look cheap; without a bit of panerai replica sale a metallic finish, they look boring.

Take a look at what they built in the pictures below
Here they are clearing out some space for their project
They colored some milk cartons, froze them and started to fill them around the empty circular space
!Here they are building the spiral (foundation). Keep going
They're laying even more frozen milk cartons on top. Keep scrolling this is about to get good
Close up picture of Daniel and Kathleen. The circle is getting even taller
?Another view of the work in progress. What could this be
Little side note, this is all the cartons they used in their amazing creation
!That is a lot of cartons. Just wait till you see the end result of using all of them
Another progress picture. The circle is getting taller and taller
At this point it's really starting to look like something
!Almost done
And… It's finally finished. It's a beautiful igloo with lights inside
Here is how it looks from the entrance. You can see the kind of lighting they have set up in there
Here is an inside view of the place. It looks beautiful
This is how the ceiling looks from inside
Great job Daniel and Kathleen! This is truly a beautiful piece of work

Special thanks to Brother Maximiliano for this info his website in Spanish for this information can be seen at: http://espadadelespiritu.foroactivo.com/t421-lucis-trust-detras-del-movimiento-ocupar-wall-street translate his web page for more info!
"I know it sounds crazy, but what i found out about this movement it's just unbelievable. I will try to make this short.
On the 15th October 2011 begun the worldwide action. For the first time in history, upwards of 15 million people in sixty countries marched together for a "global change". Their official website is: http://15october.net/ Someone decided to find out who owns that domain name by visiting this site: http://who.godaddy.com/ (This is a database with a searchable list of every single domain currently registered in the world).
As you can see from the printscreen i took, before the 18th October the registrant was
"Paulina Arcos
866 United Nations Plaza
Suite 516
New York, New York 10017
United States"
|Near "Brahma Kumaris"? Remember that Alice Bailey, founder of Lucis (Lucifer) Trust was a disciple of Helena Blavatsky, one of the founders of the Theosophical Society and was into Eastern Mysticism (which includes Hindu Religions)
|866 United Nations Plaza
Well... Who the hell is she? I googled her name and i couldn't find many infos, but i found out that she is Francisco Carrion Mena (permanent representative of Ecuador, chairman of the special committee at the UN) 's wife. Okay. I thought i had no more things to discover. The UN were behind this movement, that's it.
|Photograph of Paulina Arcos take from http://actividadessociales.net/CERAMICA/CERAMICA_2005/pages/c0509_jpg.htm
Well, i was wrong... While reading a book ("Freemasonry and Secret Societies" by Epiphanius, edition "Controcorrente" April 2008, page 620 ), i found out that the unofficial Lucis Trust's address is: 866 United Nations Plaza New York, and this information appears just on two books: the one i was reading, and on "Die Netzwerke der Insider" by Peter Blackwood.
Wait a minute.... This must be a joke....but here it comes the unbelievable part: On the 19th October, the WHOIS Information is been changed!!! In fact the registrant now is:
15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353
Scottsdale, Arizona 85260
United States
...as you can check here: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=15october.net&prog_id=GoDadd
New infos about this "global movement": Let's see WHO support them...
George Soros expressed sympathy with OWS (Occupy Wall Street).
Let's read something about him: George Soros is a member of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the Trilateral Commission (a super-elite cabal of 300 international power brokers who practically rule the world), the Bilderberg Group and he is founder and chairman of the Open Society Foundations. He is known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his US$1 billion in investment profits earned in a single day (16th Sept 1992).
Mikhail Gorbachev says "Occupy Wall Street" signals an emerging New World Order.
Don't forgeto who is Gorbachev: a premier world Leader and boasts members at the highest levels of the United Nations bureaucracy, a member of the Lucis Trust (as reported by the EIR, Executive Intelligence Review di Washington).
..and guess what? His "Millennium Forum" is located in 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 120, New York (as you can see here ).
Here's what Gorbachev said during on October 20th at Lafayette College. Exactly! The same address of the Lucis Trust...
"We are reaping the consequences of a strategy that is not conducive to cooperation and partnership, to living in a new global situation. The world needs goals that will bring people together. Some people in the United States were pushing the idea of creating a global American empire, and that was a mistake from the start. Other people in America are now giving thought to the future of their country. The big banks, the big corporations, are still paying the same big bonuses to their bosses. Was there ever a crisis for them? . . . I believe America needs its own perestroika. The entire world situation did not develop properly. We saw deterioration where there should have been positive movement.
My friend the late Pope John Paul II said it best. He said, 'We need a new world order, one that is more stable, more humane, and more just.' Others, including myself, have spoken about a new world order, but we are still facing the problem of building such a world order…problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, food shortages…all because we do not have a system of global governance. We cannot leave things as they were before, when we are seeing that these protests are moving to even new countries, that almost all countries are now witnessing such protests, that the people want change. As we are addressing these challenges, these problems raised by these protest movements, we will gradually find our way towards a new world order."
Even economists support protesters (LOL). An anti-banks protest supported by big economists? Let's report some of them:
Mario Draghi: an Italian banker and economist who has been governor of the Bank of Italy since 16 January 2006. He has been designated to succeed Jean-Claude Trichet as President of the European Central Bank by November 2011.
Richard D. Wolff: an American economist, well-known for his work on Marxian economics, economic methodology, and class analysis.
Paul Robin Krugman: an American economist, professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. In 2008, Krugman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography.
Jeff Madrick: a journalist, economic policy consultant and analyst. He is director of policy research at the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, The New School. He was formerly finance editor of Business Week Magazine and an NBC News reporter and commentator.
Joseph Eugene Stiglitz: an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001) and the John Bates Clark Medal (1979). He is also the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. He is known for his critical view of the management of globalization, free-market economists (whom he calls "free market fundamentalists") and some international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. He is one of the most frequently cited economists in the world.
One more thing: the participants' slogan is "We are the 99%" (referred to the difference in wealth between the top 1% and the other citizens of the United States).
Isn't it ironic that they have "rich supporters"? I list two more "supporters":
Russell Simmons: an American business magnate as the co-founder, with Rick Rubin, of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, and creator of the clothing fashion lines Phat Farm, Argyleculture, and American Classics. He is the third richest figure in hip-hop, having a net-worth estimate of $340 million as of April 2011.
Jimmy Wales: a co-founder and promoter of the online non-profit encyclopedia Wikipedia and the Wikia company. He is a member of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, the Board of Directors at Creative Commons, Socialtext, and Hunch.com, and former co-chair of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East 2008. By the World Economic Forum he is one of the "Young Global Leaders" of 2007.
Occupy Wall Street is now on wikipedia (what a coincidence).
Well... do you need more evidence?"

Kidney Stones and Copyright Thieves
Betcha you thought you'de never see that blog header!
For starters, after 10 rather agonizing days, I've finally passed my kidney stone. There was much celebration this morning.
But now I have another headache to deal with. Yup. Another copyright thief.
Seems like a certain "Artist" has been paying honor to those who's work she likes by painting copies. Then this certain "Artist" sells these copies as their own on ebay. 1300 sales to their name over the course of the years with 100% satisfaction. Because they ship on time. Too bad there isn't an ebay rating for originality and integrity.
So after celebrating The Passing of My Stone, I spent my morning filling out forms and doing the legal paperwork so that ebay removes the listings from their site. Keep in mind these are sales which were already completed. The "Artist" has her money. Nothing will really happen to her.
This sort of thing drives me absolutely mad. This "Artist" has sold over 250 paintings in the last two months, at least 20 of which I identified this morning as copies of MINE. I recognized another 30 of those 250 pieces of this "Artists" work as copies belonging to friends of mine (who have been alerted).
And I know that this "Artist" was already reported for the same thing last week.
"Artist" has a statement about copyright on their ebay listings. Ironic given that they themselves do not honor copyright laws.
I need to move past this. I allowed "Artist" to steal a huge chunk of my day and cloak it in anger.
I will refocus on the good news - I've passed a rather hefty kidney stone.
This "Artist" too shall pass.
And I have the skills to make my own truly original, non derivative, art. Which I plan to do right after driving The Princess to ballet.
Thanks for letting me vent,
PS If you are an artist struggling with copyright issues, feel free to share an earlier blog post I wrote, An Open Letter to Copyright Thieves.

Into the Light
"Into the Light," 10" square, acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting Mona Lisa snuggled into a sliver of light, $499 to the first one emailing. In process photos are here.
Mona snuggled in deep and slept soundly on The Caped Crusader's lap last nite, and I knew the image would haunt me until I painted it.
Some days you just have to go with the flow - when inspiration strikes, I juggle things about and make the most of it.
Next up? After dinner I'm teaching a couple dozen kids how to draw their pets' faces. And tomorrow I paint the Valentine portrait.
Thanks for following along with my artwork,

Flowers Industries, Thomasville, Ga., in essence put Keebler Foods Co. up for sale July 18 when it announced plans to "explore alternatives for the maximation of shareholder value," according to a statement by both companies. Flowers, Keebler's largest shareholder with a 55% stake, said it has hired Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. and UBS Warburg to assist in the review. Furthermore, Flowers also announced plans to spin off its non-Keebler assets, among them Flowers bakeries and Mrs. Smith's Bakeries businesses. Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, handles advertising for Keebler brands, among them Cheez-It and Keebler; Decker, Glastonbury, Conn., handles Carr's crackers. Keebler spent $20 million on measured media in 1999, per Competitive Media Reporting. Ogilvy & Mather, Atlanta, handles non-Keebler brands for Flowers Industries, among them Mrs. Smith's Bakeries.Copyright July 2000, Crain Communications Inc. Most Popular In this article: News

Next time you have a barbecue or cookout party, instead of purchasing a store-bought barbecue sauce, try this superior homemade barbecue sauce recipe! Homemade barbecue sauce is easy to put together, and it's far less expensive than the store-bought variety. Plus, it tastes better and is much healthier for you! My easy Thai barbecue sauce can be whipped up in just minutes. Then slather it on any type of meat or fish. Makes excellent barbecue chicken, or chicken wings for the kids!
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
- This Recipe Makes Enough Barbecue Sauce to Serve 2 Adults (Double the Recipe for 4 or More)
- 1/4 cup liquid honey
- 2 thumb-size pieces of ginger or galangal, minced or grated
- 2 Tbsp. fish sauce (available in tall bottles at Asian/Chinese food stores)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp. dark soy sauce (available at Asian/Chinese food stores)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced, OR 1 tsp. bottled pureed garlic
- 1-3 red or green chili peppers, de-seeded/minced, OR 1-3 tsp. chili sauce (omit for very mild sauce)
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- juice of 1/2 fresh lime (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.)
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir well. OR, place all ingredients in a food processor. Process well to form a smooth sauce.
- Pour over the meat, chicken, or fish you plan to barbecue. Be sure to turn the pieces in the sauce so that all the flesh has been saturated with sauce.
- Allow to marinate at least 20 minutes (while you warm up the barbecue or grill), OR up to 24 hours in advance (simply cover the meat and place in the refrigerator overnight, until you're ready to cook).
- While barbecuing, baste the meat once on each side for increased flavor and tenderness.
- If desired, make extra sauce and keep it aside (separate from the meat) until you're ready to eat. Then quickly warm it up and serve as a dipping sauce, glaze, or just to spoon on top as you eat. ENJOY!

Starting this blog post is interesting. One of the things I wrote in the last couple of posts was, I recall, about writing more often. That was 3rd August and now we are a few days from the end of 2013. Hmmmm….the year seems to have sped by, although during many days in the second half of the year it felt like an arthritic tortoise swimming through molasses…frozen molasses at that. And then I turned around and it was Christmas.
The end of a year always makes me reflective. It's difficult to say overall if it was a good or a bad year, there are always high and low points to every year. 2012 had its good points, but they were overshadowed by the bad times. This year has had more good points with its fair share of frustration. I finally got a new job, probably just after the last blog post. Technically I was meant to start the day before my birthday in September…well, that kind of didn't happen. And still hasn't. Now I am starting handover to my replacement on 13 January 2014. For a week. Then I have two weeks leave booked, and start my new role on 3rd February. I am worried (natural state) about the amount of backlog work that I have to get through. It was impossible to deal with that and get the job done during the last four months of the year. So good point one, I have a new job & with a great team.
Close friends had a baby girl on 25 July 2013. She turned 5 months old on Christmas Day and Milly is a delight. Milly cuddles make things better. That's good point number two.
Michelle and James are together at last in Florida, I got the verandah roof fixed and a new fence, my parents have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and Dad is doing well health-wise. More good things. I don't want to dwell on the other things…some of them are out of my control (HR policy, workloads etc) and some of them are in my control and I slipped (too much chocolate, too much coffee, not enough sleep & exercise).
So this time is for reflecting on what worked (the only goals I set, where I thought about the actual outcomes, were to see more of friends and family and get a new job! I achieved those for the most part – just should have been more specific on starting the job) and what didn't…fitness/health, money, and enough sleep. Tomorrow is time for planning 2014 and focusing on more of the positives…that is why this is part one! more to follow…

spectacular 360º panoramic photos of Rio de Janeiro and the Iguassu Falls
It is not the first time we bring to the blog spectacular photos found across the internet (a few weeks ago we saw virtual walkthroughs: Jericoacoara, Morro de São Paulo, Paraty, Porto de Galinhas and Rio de Janeiro and 360-degree photos of Manaus and the BR-319 across the jungle).
Today's selection deserve special attention both for their quality and their spectacular nature. The photos belong to the Russian company AirPano, specializing in aerial captures. Its website contains a beautiful selection of shots from all corners of the world.
Iguassu Falls 360º
Rio de Janeiro 360º
If you click on the photos you will go to the page where they are hosted. The mouse controls movements in all directions. With the wheel mouse you can zoom in or out. There are shots taking airborne and shots taken from ground level.
Two fantastic documents that help portrait in all its glory the grandiosity of two of the best-known Brazilian destinations.
