20 affordable romantic retreats
In the West, we've got a leg up on romance. For one thing, we've got natural beauty galore. But we're also a breeding ground (forgive us) for cultivating the three golden rules of romance: making things beautiful, new, and interesting.
$ = $100 or less
$$ = $100-$175
$$$ = $175-$250
$$$$ = over $250
Korakia Pensione, Palm Springs: Grab the glass of mint tea that awaits you in your Moroccan- or Mediterranean-style room, then head out through French doors onto your bougainvillea-edged patio to sip and stare at the San Jacinto Mountains. Later, go for a swim in one of the inn's two torch-lit pools under clear desert skies, or catch an outdoor movie. Make it new: Take a 2½-hour guided hike to scenic Tahquitz Canyon ($13 entrance fee; 760/416-7044). $$, including breakfast; two-night minimum on weekends. -- Kathleen N. Brenzel
Waters Edge Hotel, Tiburon, CA: Throw open the bayside door of your tranquil coffee- and cream-colored room to hear the clang-clang of rigging knocking against masts on boats below. Look across the sparkling bay to San Francisco and think about how nice it is to be here, out of reach, together. Make it new: Arrive by boat instead of driving. A ferry ride from San Francisco drops you a few doors from the hotel. The salty air on deck lets you know you're really getting away ($9.50 one-way; blueandgoldfleet.com). $$$, including continental breakfast. -- Lisa Trottier
Todos Santos Inn, Baja, Mexico: Hidden away in a quiet village near Cabo San Lucas is this enchanted brick-and-adobe hacienda. Disappear into one of its antique canopy beds, or head to a nearby beach. $$ U.S., including breakfast. -- David Lansing
Figueroa Hotel, Los Angeles: Humphrey Bogart would fit right in at this cinematic Moroccan oasis in the middle of downtown's flurry. Make it interesting: Catch a concert at the L.A. Live entertainment complex before you head back to North Africa. $$ --MacKenzie Geidt
Hotel McCall, McCall, ID: An urban-chic hotel plunked down in the midst of mountain scenery. Make plans for the next day's playtime as you stare from your comfy leather couch at huge, glacier-cut Payette Lake and its surrounding ponderosa pines and snowy slopes. Make it new: Drive to Ponderosa State Park and ski an easy mile to the Blue Moon Yurt, where you'll sit down to spiced wine and a candlelit meal. Torches light your way back. (Ski trip: $90 per person; reservations required; Blue Moon Outfitters, 208/634-3111.) $$, including breakfast. -- Laura Stavoe
Indian Springs, Calistoga, CA: There's no better way to warm up, literally and figuratively, for an amorous evening than with a soak in steamy water so rich with minerals it feels like silk ? especially when your private cottage is just footsteps away. Make it interesting: Try Watsu on each other in the pool. Wat-what? Enthusiasts claim that this aquatic massage technique ? which involves rocking and cradling ? promotes a blissful sense of letting go. $$$ (ask about winter Sun--Thu spa packages). -- Amy Wolf
The Inn at Langley, Langley, WA: Find your own recipe for romance here, literally. The six-course meals served by Seattle-bred celebrity chef Matt Costello are reason enough to stay here (did someone say chocolate sponge cake with cardamom mango sauce?). Spend the day kayaking or hiking in search of birds and seals on the waters of Saratoga Passage, or simply gaze out at the water as you lie by the wood-burning fireplace. Make it new: Bring bikes (perhaps a tandem) to explore the area. The inn offers biking maps of the island. $$$, including breakfast. -- Jess Thomson
Hacienda del Sol, Taos, NM: Hunkering down in this B&B is an experience in total immersion: in Taos's storied history as a high-desert art outpost, and in the stunning topography that surrounds it. French doors open onto the B&B's best features: the view of Taos Mountain looming above Taos Pueblo, and an open-air hot tub for stargazing. Make it interesting: Pay homage to D.H. Lawrence's famously steamy writings with a pilgrimage to the ranch where he lived in 1924 (in the village of San Cristobal, 17 miles north of Taos; 575/776-2245). $$, including breakfast. -- Katie Arnold
Cedar House Sport Hotel, Truckee, CA: Skip Tahoe's typically crowded après-ski scene and head back to eco-luxe Cedar House for a glass of red at the guests-only fireside bar. Enjoy an outdoor soak before an Italian supper at the boutique inn's new restaurant, Stella ($$). Make it interesting: After a day on the slopes, sign up for Cedar House's Cooking Club n Stella's open kitchen: intimate hands-on classes or dinner-theater demos by the inn's talented chef. $$$, including breakfast; two-night weekend minimum. -- Rachel Levin
Los Poblanos Historic Inn &Cultural Center, Albuquerque: Curl up beside a roaring piñon fire in your room ? laid for you daily by the attentive staff ? or work up an appetite exploring the more than 25 acres of fields, trails, and organic gardens at this 19th-century working dairy ranch turned inn. Make it interesting: Take a lesson in Southwestern art just by prowling the premises, where you'll see works by prominent New Mexico artists like R.C. Gorman, Gustave Baumann, Laura Gilpin, and Peter Hurd. $$$, including breakfast. -- K.A.
Blue Lake Ranch, near Durango, CO: Snowshoe or cross-country ski à deux past stands of 150-year-old cottonwoods along a riverside trail, or dogsled or ride horseback through the snowy woods nearby. Fuel up first with a hearty breakfast of tamales and scones (served with heavenly ranch-made preserves and wildflower honey). Make it interesting: Spend an afternoon exploring the Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings at nearby Mesa Verde National Park ($10 per vehicle). $, including breakfast; two-night minimum. -- Amy Marr
Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, Halfmoon Bay, B.C.: Cuddle up under a deep duvet while you listen to raindrops brush against the walls of your luxe tent-house suite. Roughing it this is not: Think fireplaces, heated tile floors, silk shoji ? plus the sound of winter waves against the shore. If you can force yourselves to part from these digs, explore the surrounding rain forest. Then hurry back with a blanket for some quiet time by the ocean on your private veranda. $$$ U.S. -- Deana Lancaster
Villa Amor, Sayulita, Mexico: The 35 villas at this resort, some set into a terraced hillside with decks that have little or no railing, are a great place to feel a frisson. From this aerie you can take in all the sights and sounds of the beach without venturing anywhere. Mini kitchens (in some villas only) make it even easier to stay in. Make it interesting: Skinny-dip in your private cliffside plunge pool (request a villa that has one). $$ U.S., including breakfast. -- A. W.
Volcano Rainforest Retreat, Volcano, HI: In the secluded Sanctuary, light candles, make the Tibetan chimes kiss, play a CD of sensuous Indian music, and whisper words from a bedside book of meditations on love. As you snuggle under the Balinese-print quilt, you'll feel a glow that comes only partly from the ornate cast-iron fireplace. Make it beautiful: Hide out in the open-air pavilion's Japanese soaking tub, just big enough for two, surrounded by glistening ferns and sweet flowering ginger. $$, including breakfast; two-night minimum; on the Big Island. -- Bill Harby
Ka'awa Loa Plantation Bed & Breakfast, Captain Cook, HI ($125). On the Big Island, kiss beneath a rainfall showerhead in an outdoor lava-rock shower. Then sip homegrown Kona java while gazing out at the waters of Kealakekua Bay. Make it interesting: Try the authentic Hawaiian cedar steam room adjacent to the hot tub. $$, including breakfast; two-night minimum. -- Kathy Chin Leong
Deetjen's Big Sur Inn, Big Sur, CA: Each of the very rustic cottages, which are grouped around a redwood-shaded ravine on a gorgeously untamed coastline, has a name ? Grandpa's, Faraway ? and each contains a journal in which visitors have bared their souls, sometimes happily, sometimes not. But when the rains lash the redwoods, there's no better place to snuggle and listen to the crackling of a fire in the woodstove. $ with shared bath, $$ with private bath. -- Peter Fish
The Orchid Inn, Santa Barbara: Orchid blossoms appear on your pillow each night, the beach is just a short walk away, and rooms have wood-burning fireplaces and private entries. Make it beautiful:Visit Santa Barbara Orchid Estate nursery, 15 minutes away, featuring orchid species and hybrids from around the world. $$$, including breakfast. -- Chryss Yost
Tu Tu' Tun Lodge, Gold Beach, OR: You'll want to say all those sweet nothings sotto voce so your voices don't compete with the soothing bubbling of the Rogue River just outside your room. Make it beautiful: Order a "romance basket" ($125), with chilled Champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries, to take to the soaking tub on your deck. $$, including breakfast. -- Susan G. Hauser
Briar Patch Inn, near Sedona, AZ: The gurgle of the stream, occasional bleats from mascot sheep, and rustle of leaves as breezes waft down Oak Creek Canyon provide the background music to these stone-and-wood cabins. Doze together in the large hammocks dotting the garden, or share a bottle of wine on the banks of the creek. Make it beautiful: Between trees, catch glimpses of Oak Creek Canyon's ocher walls. $$$, including breakfast; two-night minimum. -- Nora Burba Trulsson
Hotel Cielo Rojo, San Francisco, Mexico: It's all about foreplay here. Before you even check in, pour yourselves a shot of tequila from the hospitality tray. Venture out to the tawny-walled courtyard, dip your toes in the plunge pool, and ponder what you'll order later at the hotel's teensy outdoor Bistro Organico, before you make your way to your sweetly simple room. Make it beautiful: Stroll a few blocks down the cobblestone streets, which are shaded by palm trees and papaya plants, to San Pancho's beach. There, the fiery red sunset might help you ignite a little fire of your own. $ U.S., including breakfast. -- A.W.

BusinessWorld today reported that the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is studying the implementation of a secondary price cap on power traded at the spot market. The secondary price limit is set at P6.245/kWh when an average threshold of P7.808/kWh is reached over a 72-hour period. The Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) currently has a P32/kWh offer limit.
The secondary price cap will be triggered if the three-day average WESM prices breach the threshold and it will continue to apply until the effects of sustained high market prices ease. The clearing price already takes into account the marginal cost of operating the most expensive plant.
Our take: The regulated price is expected to prevent any hefty price spikes in anticipation of heightened demand this summer. Ensuring tempered movements in power prices may benefit consumers and should also bode well for volume sales of Meralco. However, too much regulation may not only limit the profitability of power generation companies but will also discourage prospective investments into the sector. – WealthSec

Bella Concert Hall
Leslie Feist was raised in Calgary and developed an interest in music after joining a youth choir. Before becoming a Juno Award-winning international pop sensation, she was a part of the Canadian alternative music scene with her Calgary-based punk band Placebo, which won a local Battle of the Bands to earn a spot to open for the Ramones.
A key member of Broken Social Scene, she released the solo projects Let It Die (2004), Open Season (2006), The Reminder (2007), Metals (2011) and this year's Pleasure. The four-time Grammy-nominated artist received the 2012 Polaris Prize for Metals.

- A family of four in the produce section acting kinda like they've never been in a produce section before. Barking questions and commands at each other from across the aisles while the oldest son talks loudly on a cell phone.
- Some disturbingly non-local items: avocados from Chile, oranges from South Africa, other oranges from Peru.
- A man asked a supermarket worker if they had nail polish remover. Worker doesn't speak great English and doesn't really understand. The questioner explains: "nail polish remover is, ya know, like if you put nail polish on your nails, and then you wanted to take it off, nail polish remover would help you take it off." The questioner's wife came by and asked about the worker about make-up and told her husband to go get trail mix. I didn't stick around to see how it ended. The worker was cheerfully going to get assistance.
- I don't think my checkout person had ever seen tomatillos before. But she was very nice about it.
- In fairness to the checkout person, it appears that my spell-checker hasn't heard of tomatillos, either.
- The person behind me in the checkout line seemed a little alarmed at my purchase. I got three jalapeno peppers and she asserted that I must be about to cook something really spicy. It's all relative, I guess.

On 15th April 2016 a significant amendment to the Polish Industrial Property Law with regards to the system of opposition against trade marks came into force. Prior to the change the Polish Patent Office assessed a trade mark application, not only with regards to absolute grounds, (e.g. whether the trade mark is descriptive or is misleading) but also with regards to the relative grounds of refusal (e.g. similarity to earlier trade marks), which was one of the main reasons for the frustratingly long registration proceedings period. Under the previous system, opposition was only available following the registration of a trade mark and it could be filed within 6 months subsequent to the information on the decision granting the trade mark right.
As of 15th April 2016, the Polish law makers elected to introduce a pre-grant opposition system and thus clearly opted for the approach taken in many other EU countries, where the Trade Mark Office only analyses the absolute grounds for refusal, whereas the relative grounds are taken into consideration only upon the filing of a potential opposition. Currently the opposition may be filed within 3 months from the trade mark application being published.
As is very often the case, with such significant amendments, the transitional provisions are of great importance. However it transpires that as regards this amendment they have not been drafted sufficiently carefully. Pursuant to Article 2 subsection 1 of the Amendment Act the previous provisions are applied to the proceedings regarding registration of the trade mark right, as well as to the proceedings regarding an opposition against decisions granting the trade mark right, which have been initiated but not resolved before the Act came into force.
What is the issue?
Usually the registration proceedings conclude with a decision as to granting or rejecting the application. Opposition starts separate proceedings which are carried out in accordance with different principles. Based on the verbatim interpretation of the transitional provisions, one may conclude that the previous provisions will not apply to those trade marks which were filed but were not opposed prior to the law amendment coming into force. This would however result in a situation in which holders of older rights which conflict with this group of trade marks will be deprived of their right to file opposition. The PTO thus denies the right to opposition with regards to trade mark filings made prior to 15th April 2016.
However, the point is that this outcome is almost certainly not the intention of the law-makers but is rather the product of an error made at the legislative process stage. Otherwise, considering the consequences of the interpretation represented by the PTO, the law-makers would definitely express this in a more transparent and comprehensive manner. It is a pity that the PTO failed to take a more reasonable approach by focussing more on the desired purpose and intention of the said regulation instead of sticking to the wording of the transitional provisions. Of course, the stance taken by the PTO will be verified by the administrative courts. Yet this will take at least a couple of years, whereas the issue is definitely more acute for the right holders, even though they can fortunately still consider an invalidation action instead (but this legal remedy does not provide the same level of legal security as does the regular opposition).

Targeting a youth-oriented audience, the new publication will feature spreads by both established and emerging artists and photographers. Hinting at the content, publisher Jonathan Rheingold says, "I see it as PURPLE FASHION meets INTERVIEW*."

The other day I got a text while recovering from a particularly bad hangover asking if I wanted to head down to a local ClioSport meet. Despite feeling horrendous I thought it'd be worth a look seeing as Clios are often very nicely done and the ClioSport forum members are known for their enthusiasm.
I loved the look of this particular Clio, which ironically was one of the few non-Renault Sport Clios in attendance.
I don't think I've ever seen so many blue cars in one place! Here are just a few of them.
I actually quite like the look of the newer generation of Clios, although they look quite chunky compared to the older models.
Shortly after we turned up a large number of people started heading off to the TRAX event at Silverstone, which I wasn't going to be attending.
Once most of the Clios had left it gave me time to study the cars we'd turned up in as I normally only get to see them in the dark at random meets. It also gave people chance to have a poke around my Rx-7 in daylight, which is definitely more of a head turner than my Civic ever was.
Seb's Mx-5 was looking awesome as usual, and it's now even louder than it was before (which I never thought possible!)
Sitting silly low on a set of XXRs and with a few subtle visual mods, it shows how simple making an Mx-5 look awesome actually is.
And of course the interior has received some attention as well.
Ironically Ed's S14 actually received more attention than the vast majority of the Clios, probably because it was the most outrageous looking thing there!
As usual, if you could please take a second to "Like" the ej9.co.uk Facebook page it'd be much appreciated!

Men's Member Guest 2/27-3/3/2017
The men's member guest was a huge success with over 20 teams competing in 3 divisions. Raintree pro Hunter Koontz and partner Evan Charles defeated another Raintree pro, Kyle Parker and good friend Shad Harrell in the Open division. Tommy Webb and Gordon McGill were victorious in the 8.5 division against Ralph Apgaoa and partner Nick Hardesty. The men's 7.5 was a tight match with Jon Beloitti and Greg Deeb pulling out the win against Sanjay Mittal and Casey Hill. Thank you to all of the players and the spectators who made the week so much fun.

We finished canning the pears. All in all we have 16 quarts. I'm not sure how much it would be if grandpa hadn't been snacking on them when he was cutting them up.
Thank God I boiled them to get the skins off so we wouldn't have to peel them by hand. Next year I'm definitely doing it the way the ball canning book says to do it.

For some unknown reason, I've had the uncontrollable urge to blog again. I think when I first started I was so unclear on what exactly I wanted to do. I look at this blog and I was all over the place!! I knew I wanted to give to the celiac/gf community in some way, but clearly I was unsure how to do it.
Over the years, I have learned so much about what I'm doing, ways to eat not just better, but healthier. I've been gluten free almost 5 years, and I feel like this journey is never ending. Not in a bad way, always learning.
So I'll start by addressing a question some of you have asked me: Did I complete the Whole 30? What were my thoughts, and did I cheat?
YES! YES! YES! I completed my Whole 30! Can you tell I'm proud of myself?? :) Seriously, I did complete it. I didn't cheat... unless you count a piece of gum that I chewed while on a run. I suppose if you are an absolute purist, then I cheated. I'm ok with that.
I went into the Whole30 addicted to sugar, drinking a couple of glasses of wine almost every night, and pretending like I wanted to start exercising again. What I learned was invaluable. I learned that my body is extremely sensitive to soy. I learned how to eat breakfast without making myself feel sick; something that in my life I had not been able to figure out. I learned that I didn't need wine in the evening, that the reality was I wouldn't miss it, and that alcohol+my stomach really don't get along too well. I tried things I had never tried... some of them I feel I will not try again, but hey! I'm not worse for trying it, right? And I decided I really did want to exercise, so I stopped talking about it and did it. At the end of the 30 days, I felt better than I've felt in a long time. And yes, I lost weight. Not that I know how much... I didn't weigh myself before or after. That was not my motivation, but an awesome benefit.
My thoughts? The Whole30 is a bit extreme, but sometimes, that's what it takes. It takes something extreme to make you decide to change your habits. But it only lasts for 30 days, and in the whole span of life, 30 days really isn't that long. And in the end, I learned a lot and felt a lot better. Will I eat 'Paleo' the rest of my days? Probably not. At the core of who I am, I cannot wrap my head around an evolutionary diet. I cannot be convinced that some tribesman somewhere in the middle of the jungle wouldn't eat a potato or other tuber that grew from the ground. But I do believe we are a culture of people who eat far more starch than necessary, with most starches coming from nutrient-dead food.
I believe very strongly that our food system is severely flawed, and choose to use my precious food dollars buying local, sustainable, grass-fed as much as I possibly can. I absolutely believe it matters what you eat. I will lean toward what is termed 'Paleo' simply because of the focus on whole, clean foods, meat that way it was supposed to be (not ecologically or health destructive), and the avoidance of 'fake foods'. Because I undoubtedly function better eating that way.
I would recommend the Whole30 for anyone, especially if you are feeling like your health needs a boost. It is a challenge, but sometimes you have to work for what you want.
Living the foodie life, gluten-free and Paleo style! Come along for the ride, it's always fun and exciting!

text: "It's exciting to watch a band develop from a promising demo early on, knowing there was something truly remarkable on the horizon, progressing into… a masterful full length album. The heavy-psychedelics stampede with meditative riffs flowing rhythmically like the pulse of a bison's beating heart as it gallops ancestral plains. The grooves are tight as the hazy vocals are intense. Moments of rapturous distortion crash into psychedelic melodies like thunder preludes a downpour over a space lit beach. It's hard to deny a resemblance in style to rising stars All Them Witches as the sweeping blues-tinged Americana undercurrents rip against spine tingling layers of reverb. The CDs sold out immediately and hope for wax treatment looms the daydreams of eager vinyl addicts. King Buffalo have finally claimed their crown at the head of the bison band throne! Make no mistake, labels are weighing in as we speak to hopefully deliver what yearns to be a year end contender and prized record in every heavy psychedelic music fan's collection!"

When Prophets Speak Out!
My parents' generation often reminisces about how amazing it was the first time they saw Star Wars or Jaws. The technology used in those films was groundbreaking, as it looked more realistic than anything previously shown on the silver screen. To me, those movies are aged with effects that aren't too impressive. However, I do remember the first time I saw Avatar. What an experience! The visuals and story truly captivated me.
Avatar tells the story of two groups, a human corporation that travels to a planet called Pandora to extract its resources, and the native Pandoran Na'vi tribe who fight to protect their land. Jake Sully, the main character, realizes the corporation's relentless intent to drive away the Na'vi after arriving on Pandora from earth. Jake sympathizes with these creatures and eventually joins their fight.
Of course, I identified with Jake when I first saw the movie. That's what stories are meant to do - to draw us in, to allow us to feel for the characters. At first, Jake was unaware of the corporation's malice, but after discovering their plan, he chose to do right, falling in love with the Na'vi, and giving up his assignment in order to protect Na'vi life. He stood up for the oppressed and sought justice - of course not without an epic Hollywood final battle scene.
But Avatar isn't the first story wherein we see a "Jake" character (someone who takes on the office of "prophet" against the powers that seem to be blind to their oppression, injustice and greed). Let's look at another example.
One of the most famous stories in the Bible is the Exodus of Israel from slavery in Egypt (Genesis 37 - Exodus 15). Joseph, the great grandchild of Abraham, was sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. Despite this, Joseph became a mighty ruler in Egypt, giving his family special privileges from Pharaoh. But after a few generations, Israel became persecuted and ended up enslaved to Egypt and its rulers. They turned to God, crying out for Him to save them.
Through quite an extraordinary turn of events, a Hebrew baby, Moses, ended up in the care of Pharaoh's daughter, who raised him as an Egyptian. But after murdering a fellow Egyptian, Moses fled to the desert, only to return years later as a prophet to confront Pharaoh on behalf of God and convince him to release the Israelites from captivity.
After much reluctance, Pharaoh eventually let Israel go to wander through the wilderness until God led them to the land of Canaan. It was through the nation of Israel, a nation whom God called into being, that God planned to bless the whole world. And it was through the lineage of Abraham, Joseph, and many others, that Jesus Christ eventually was born.
All throughout the history of Israel, the prophet remained a vital office for the nation as a whole and its leaders in particular. Over and over again, Israel forgot about God, chose to follow other gods, became oppressors, and neglected the poor and outcast in their midsts. And over and over again, God sent prophets to these leaders to urge them to turn their hearts back to God. Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, and John the Baptizer all spoke the hard truth to the powers that be, calling them to return to God.
Prophets had specific roles in the Bible. They told the people what God was doing in the world and tried to make them understand how they got off track. They reminded the people of God's longing to be in a covenant relationship with them and warned them what would happen if they didn't change. They also reminded the people what God expected from them as His chosen people. Here are some examples of what the prophets told Israel throughout their history:
"'Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,' says the Lord Almighty." - Malachi 3:7
"Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.'" - 1 Kings 18:21
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." - Micah 6:8
What people in power often forget is that with great power comes great responsibility (I can't believe I finally got to use that line). Leaders of communities, churches, organizations, companies, and nations have a tremendous amount of influence on people. Unfortunately, although many leaders try their best to do what they believe is right, it doesn't always line up with how God calls us to live.
I know that sounds a bit trite, but I'm not talking about a "holier than thou" sense of morality. The scripture is quite clear that God designed life to flourish in a particular way. When we choose to ignore that, for the sake of power, wealth, or influence, we can safely say that that isn't the way God calls us to live. And the signs are often obvious. People, and the rest of God's creation, are oppressed, marginalized, forgotten, and killed.
Let it be no surprise then, that the prophetic office is very much alive today. The call of the Christian is the same as it was for Jake and for Moses, although admittedly much more complex. Nothing is ever as black and white as we might like it to be. But wherever there are Christians, there are those who feel the call to speak truth to power and work for God's kingdom instead of their own.
We have seen a clear example of this in the United States over the past few months as certain policies have seen children forcibly taken away from their parents after fleeing to America in search of a better and safer life. Yes, they immigrated illegally, but manipulation was key in taking the children away, hoping that such consequences would deter others from crossing the border. We have even seen the Trump administration try their hand at biblical justification for these acts.
And all throughout, there have been Christian (and non-Christian) voices unabashedly calling out their own government, denouncing these acts as non-biblical, even evil, and urging their own country to read what the Bible actually says about how to treat foreigners, neighbours, and "the least of these." Leaders like Shane Claiborne, Rachel Held Evans, and Brian Zahnd, all followed the tradition of the prophets in giving their government a wake-up call and reminding them what faithfulness actually looks like.
So where does this leave us? First of all, those of us with power and influence need to remember just how easy it is to lose sight of justice, mercy, and goodness. Whatever our motives are, we may not be aware of the far-reaching consequences of our actions. But are we willing to listen to what God might be telling us through the prophets of our day? Are we willing to open our eyes to see what the rest of the world sees as obvious?
Second, all of us must remember the real possibility that God may be wanting to speak a prophetic word through us. When we see evil, oppression, marginalization, and violence, even in the name of God, we have to wrestle with the fact that God might be calling us to stand up and confront power. Sometimes that power claims to be Christian, but sometimes it doesn't. Again, it's not black and white, and it's definitely not easy.
But the stories that we read or hear never pretend like that part is easy. Jake had to turn his back on his fellow humans to protect the Na'vi. Moses had to confront his upbringing and the system that raised him, a Hebrew, as an Egyptian. It's a hard, harsh, and often lonely road. It's risky business speaking out, but we will most certainly find that it's even riskier not to.

Coffee drinkers out there, taas ang kamay!
We're not out to make you go green with envy but Nescafé, through its partners, has sent us a Dolce Gusto demo unit (check out more photos in the gallery)! For the uninitiated, it's a portable coffee maker that can fit inside your backpack with ease. We admit, having one is like having a small version of our fave coffee shop inside our HQ—minus the long lines, pasosyal peeps and their chatter. It's also very easy to use, which endeared the device even more to our coffee-lovin' hearts. And the best part? The loads of different available flavors that make us sound we're well-versed in Italian whenever we say their names. Chococino Espresso, yes?
So, it's a pretty awesome device. Also, coffee's pretty awesome itself—you probably know that already. But what you might be surprised to find out is that drinking coffee is more than just about helping you get through the snooze-fest you call work every morning, it can actually benefit your health big time. Check out the reasons below why your body will thank you for indulging in that sweet, frothy caffeine-filled brew.
Note: As they always say, moderation is key. While coffee has its health benefits, drinking too much might be bad news for your health, too.
The Nescafé Dolce Gusto set retails for P4,999. For more info on Nescafé's Dolce Gusto products, click here.

http://bicesterheritage.co.uk/events/10 ... -scramble/
This highly popular event is open to all classic owners (their definition of 'Classic Vehicles' includes ALL Porsche 2 seater and 2+2 sports cars of ANY age) to display their vehicles.*
Located close the M40, Bicester Heritage is the UK's first park for the restoration, storage and enjoyment of vintage and classic cars, motorcycles and aeroplanes all set in 348 acres of a historic 1920s RAF bomber station. The event is expected to be very well supported, with the organisers expecting over 1200 cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles, as well as some historic aeroplanes, on display and for sale.
As well as looking at the many vehicle displays, visitors will also be the opportunity to look at the various workshops around the site and visit the many trade stalls. As the name suggests hearty cooked breakfasts and drinks will be available during the event at various food stalls across the site.
Perhaps something the club might be interested in partaking in next year?

And there's russians brides nothing higher than a great husband to get her in the temper. Do not discuss other individuals and attempt to assist others. Girls generally want to date a man who is called being good to everybody.
Males will reach out to almost each profile with enticing footage as a result of it is a numbers game. 80% of the women won't reply. Maybe they're already talking to someone else, maybe russian brides for marriage they're simply shopping, maybe they don't find him attractive. It doesn't matter what the reason being, the fact is that the work of reaching out and emailing ladies falls heavily on the boys.
First, I want to provde the scoop. 70% of girls who go on POF (Loads of Fish) go on just to have a conversation. Some girls like the feeling of having quite a lot of guys speaking to them.

However watch hot russian brides out with humor—it's not as straightforward to tug off as you would possibly suppose and can backfire. (Typically what you thought of as witty, comes throughout as snarky).
An extrovert in this scenario may very effectively be a bit confrontational and announce that the date is over. Introverts are likely to chew their tongues and endure the ache for the period. You do not have to do that. Set up your excuses forward of time. Have a good friend textual content you about an hour in and have a sign russian wife to textual content again. Then the cellphone name can come that presents a state of affairs that requires your immediate consideration. Or begin feeling poorly and go to the restroom. If you return, explain that you are in poor health and actually need to go.

Visit to city of temples
Keola and Moana Beamer attended Kathmandu festival for film score
In late 2015, Keola Beamer journeyed to the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu to record the soundtrack to "Tibetan Illusion Destroyer," the latest documentary by Maui filmmaker Tom Vendetti.
Premiered at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in May, Vendetti's film will be presented by PBS Hawaii at a free screening at its Honolulu headquarters on Wednesday. Both the director and composer will participate in an audience Q&A session afterwards.
The fascinating film focuses on the Mani Rimdu Festival held at the remote Tengboche Monastery perched around 12,600 feet in the Himalayas and the Chiwong Monastery at 9,000 feet. This ancient Tibetan Buddhist ceremony is designed to cleanse and dispel the illusions that create so much suffering in the world.
Having previously collaborated with musicians in South America and Africa in cultural exchanges sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Hawaiian slack key guitar master had the opportunity to create music for the film with a group of Nepalese musicians, which proved both rewarding and illuminating.
"It was very rewarding on a cultural and purely musical level, and also on a spiritual level because of the whole idea that illusion causes so many problems," says Beamer.
"We recorded the score in Kathmandu in two separate trips and I really wanted to do something to honor their culture and instruments. It was of course completely outside of my Hawaiian tonal palette. I learned so much, especially about the beautiful tonality of their native instruments."
So how did he navigate the cultural divide?
"I'm pretty sensitive culturally," he says. "It was good that I had a skill set of my Hawaiian sense of communal music. There was no sense in writing anything down because they don't read traditional Western notation. I made notes to myself about what I wanted to happen when and communicated that on my guitar to them. So the guitar was the translator. I sat down with them and shared my intent and the philosophy behind the movie which they were totally into. When you work around the world you might stumble a bit in translations, but people understand authenticity and that you are trying to do something good."
Working with Nepalese musicians, he also recorded a group of Tibetan Buddhist nuns chanting for the film score.
"I'm a Buddhist so I was familiar with a lot of the chants," he notes. "I was particularly curious about their instruments and what they sounded like and could create. In the opening there's a solo sarangi, which is like their string violin and it's gorgeous. I tried to learn a lot from them. Their expertise was pretty amazing."
Traveling to Nepal, the revered Hawaiian musician and his wife, kumu hula Moana Beamer, found the altitude a little challenging. It was a long way from their Lahaina home base.
"Hawaiians are ocean people and the Nepalese and Tibetans are mountain people so we have very different genetics," he says. "They're built for long treks up mountainous terrain. They have big hearts and great endurance. You're walking along a trail and some guy has four sheets of four-by-eight plywood strapped to his head. It was a challenge for us to get up the higher elevations. Going up the Chiwong mountain was like the stair-stepper from hell — it went on forever. But I had a Sherpa to make sure I didn't fall off the mountain. It was a full-on experience for Moana and I."
As to whether the Nepalese had ever met any Hawaiians before, he laughs.
"Most of them had no idea where Hawaii was. They would ask you where you're from, and you would say Hawaii, and you would just get this blank stare."
Performing in Vendetti's previous film, "The Quietest Place on Earth," Beamer's soundtrack work has also included the Oscar-winning movie "The Descendants," which featured four of his songs. Along with slack key guitarist Jeff Peterson, they were the only two artists invited by the film's director to record specifically for the soundtrack, which earned a Grammy nomination.
"I'm pretty sensitive about doing stuff that is culturally correct," he says. "Over the years I've had quite a few tenders to do music for stuff, and after I've had a general idea of the movie I've declined because they were embarrassing in a cultural sense. I'm not going to add my name or talent to some boobs on the beach thing."
No stranger to innovative collaborations, Beamer's most recent album, the Grammy nominated "Malama Ko Aloha" ("Keep Your Love"), included musicians playing traditional Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, classical European and American jazz instruments. His previous recording, the Na Hoku Hanohano-nominated "Keola Beamer & Raiatea," included a track with Indonesian gamelan musician, Harry Willemsen, playing the Indonesian siter.
"I did a project in Amsterdam with a Javanese gamelan orchestra," he says. "It was interesting to try to combine the elements that we have in Hawaiian music with the Indonesian elements, and then create a new sound that never existed before."
Last year on a tour of Japan, he performed with shamisen master Hiro Kurosawa at a concert hall in Isei.
"It was a wonderful blend of cultures and sound," he says. "I have found it so interesting to explore the sounds and textures of world music."
In previous years, the Beamers in tandem with Jeff Peterson, traveled around the world performing Hawaiian slack key guitar and hula, and collaborating with local musicians under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State in partnership with the non-profit American Voices organization. The trio journeyed to Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
This unique cultural exchange program has expired under our new federal administration.
"The unfortunate thing is the positions of people who helped with those programs have not been filled and the State Department is decimated," Beamer explains. "Half the people we worked with quit because they didn't want to work with the Trump administration. It's so sad."
One of our most distinguished guitarists, singers and composers who established himself early in his career as a innovative leader of contemporary Hawaiian music, Beamer traces his roots to royal families of the 14th century.
A descendant of Chiefess Manono, who died at the famous Kuamo'o battle on Hawaii Island, he has dedicated the last few years to helping preserve the historic site. In 1819 it was the last battle fought in Hawaii to retain the old ways. As she was dying, the Chiefess is said to have called out, "malama ko aloha" ("keep your love").
As president of Aloha Kuamo'o 'Aina and in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, Beamer spearheaded a successful campaign to purchase the ancient battlefield and burial grounds.
"I've been doing a lot of work for our nonprofit Aloha Kuamo'o 'Aina," he explains. "It's a site we're preserving for the next generation. It was the ground zero for cultural trauma in 1819. We've placed it in conservation and protected it from any kind of development."
Future music plans include teaming again with Henry Kapono for a Mainland tour. He will also perform at Kapono's "Artist to Artist" concert series on Sept. 14, at the Blue Note Hawaii on Oahu.
"We get along really well," he says. "At the same time as my brother and I were playing the Territorial Tavern, C&K were at the Rainbow Villa and on our nights off we'd go and see the other guys and hang out."
And it's exciting to hear that Beamer is working on a new album, a follow up to "Malama Ko Aloha," which was released in 2012.
"It's premature to talk about it, but I've been in the studio," he reports. "Life is great."
Travel plans also could include a return to Nepal for a screening of "Tibetan Illusion Destroyer."
"We're hoping to bring the finished film to the Kathmandu Film Festival next year," he says.
The documentary is currently being considered by American Public Television for national distribution as well as local airing on PBS Hawaii. The Buddhist International Foundation is also considering it for a limited theatrical screening.
"If American Public Television picks it up it will be offered to all the PBS stations," says Vendetti. "'The Quietest Place on Earth' was picked up by almost 200 TV stations. This would be the ninth film that American Public Television has distributed. It's quite an honor."

When you need reliable and fast garbage disposal repair or installation, call the experts at San Clemente Pronto Plumbers. As your top-rated, local plumbing company in San Clemente, California, we work hard day and night to make sure we provide you with the best service possible. We know that your garbage disposal is an important kitchen appliance. You rely on it to work without fail and on demand 24/7. But, when this convenient appliance stops working, we want you to know that we're here for you!
How Well Do You Know Your Garbage Disposal?
This unassuming, small, kitchen appliance may not seem like a big deal. Sure, it's convenient, but it is really working all that hard for you? The answer is absolutely. The average, residential garbage disposal has a powerful motor that is intended to grind up food waste into tiny particles. These particles are then washed down through your home's drain pipes, away from your house, and into the sewer system.
However, sometimes things go wrong, and if these problems aren't addressed right away, you could have a major mess on your hands. Most garbage disposal problems have to do with food particles becoming lodged in the blades making it impossible for movement to occur. Other problems may be related to blockages that stop up both sides of your kitchen sink. These two problems can easily be avoided by paying attention to what is placed in the disposal in the first place.
Here are some items that you never want to put in your disposal:
- Grease – This included cooking oils and fat. Even the tiniest amounts of these substances will harden as they cool and adhere to the insides of your pipes. This will create major blockages that can lead to clogs and leaky pipes.
- Food peels – Whether peeling a potato, a carrot, onion, or any other fruit or vegetable, take care to dispose of these peels either in the trash can or place them in a composite receptacle. The average disposal's blades are not equipped to properly grind these food items up.
- Plastic, metal, or glass – We think this goes without saying, but every once in a while we find that someone has placed one of these items in their disposal. If it's not biodegradable, it doesn't belong in your disposal.
Don't Wait to Call for Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation
At the first sign of trouble, pick up the phone and call for professional plumbing service. Most times we can easily repair the problem. If not, we'll help you select a replacement model and provide you with guaranteed installation.

ICYMI: The week's top news in the arts From light installations to rethinking history's villains, from music for suicide prevention to Bollywood's best - this week's art news is varied and rich. Gina Fairley A riveting piece of theatre that collapses mediums, genres, histories and logic allowing us to dwell, momentarily, in that place between our world and another. Photo: Julian Mommert. The Australian premiere of The Great Tamer is considered a coup for the Perth Festival, an iconic work by Dimitris Papaioannou, which has been acclaimed internationally since it was created in 2017. While Papaioannou is best known as having created the artistic vision for the 2004 Athens Olympic ceremonies and the first European Games Baku 2015, he has been altering the Greek arts scene for more than two decades with his unique blend of experimental dance, physical theatre and performance art. It is no surprise, then, on viewing one of his productions, to learn that before moving to theatre, Papaioannou trained in the visual arts. The Great Tamer not only is a visually dynamic piece of theatre, but takes many of its cues from art history. For example, Papaioannou gives us a tableaux version of Rembrandt's iconic painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp (1632), which moves from an anatomy study to cannibalism in Papaioannou's hands. We also see a repeated nod to Greek Classicism and a focus on the lean noble naked form of a male. From the Kouros, to Salvador Dali's tale of Narcissus, where a dancer plays with his own reflection in a pool of water, to Atlas holding the earth on his shoulder, inverted by Papaioannou with the equally strenuous task of balancing atop a globe. Time collapses in on itself. That knotty, surreal web of familiarity is further played out with the use of Johann Strauss's An der schonen blauen Donau, Op. 314 (the Blue Danube waltz), modified by Stephanos Droussiotis and returning repeatedly like a hypnotic anchor across this production. It is both elixir and anthem. Photo: Julian Mommert. Despite these triggers and plays with collective memory and history, the genesis of The Great Tamer is very contemporary. Papaioannou recalls a news story of a young man bullied at university, who then went missing, to be found dead later with questions about whether his death was murder or suicide. It 'left me with emotions that I didn't know what to do with', said Papaioannou. As an audience member The Great Tamer presents us with that same feeling of confusion, wanting to feel connection and empathy, but derailed by logic. But I am getting ahead of myself. Audiences enter the theatre to see a black-suited figure on stage. He proceeds to undress and lies down, while another suited figure places a white shroud over him. Another enters, picking up one of the many graphite-coloured tiles that form the floor; then drops it, forcing the shroud to flutter aside exposing the recumbent male. This sequence is repeated numerous times. The tone is set immediately with this production – our human compulsion to cover things up and then reveal them; history's role to conceal and erase, and our need to make sense and frame things. Life is a perpetual cycle – largely driven by primal forces, and while we don't always understand our actions, we continue them. Photo: Julian Mommert. Told by 10 performers-slash-dancers, this sequence of events lacks a conventional narrative. Many of the images presented are fractured, forcing audiences to work in the stitching together of understanding, which inevitably is never arrived at. A great example early in the piece is the image of a female figure composed of a woman's torso with each leg that of a male, moving across the stage in a crab-like crawl in high heels. It screams Marcel Duchamp. In another moment, dismembered body elements are pulled from below – a leg here, an arm there – and at others times a clustered group of figures moves as if co-joined by a magnetic force. We are made to rethink our bodily connections. The capacity of these dancers to deliver these extraordinary gestures has to be saluted. Photo: Julian Mommert. The performers work with everyday props – shoes, plants, soil, a book, an orange – to create the unfamiliar. I was spellbound by the image of an astronaut moving across stage seemingly without gravity. She starts to pull back the stage's surface, first pulling out moon rocks and then plucking out a limp male figure, aka giving birth. I was equally spellbound – and disturbed – by another story of a male protagonist who seemingly inserts his hands quite violently into a woman's stomach, as she contorts in "pain" before slowly falling back to the underworld. Photo: Julian Mommert Tina Tzoka's set design is amazing for its simplicity and capacity to create these two worlds – one onstage and one below, again turning that world of mythology into reality. Composed of tiled panels that rise and swell, the dancers regularly punch through this structure and figures emerge from it; soil is dug out from its depths; a pool of water creates reflection from below, and at moments it wraps and shields the body. The coup de theatre is the moment when a shower of golden darts are thrown, piercing the floor (a figure hides below) and creating a fertile field of grain – from violence to bounty. It is the ultimate image of life cycles and renewal. Photo: Julian Mommert. This is not a short performance at one hour 40 minutes – and if it didn't appeal to your theatrical tastes then that would feel epic. The Guardian described it as moving at a 'zombie pace'. On the flipside, if like me, you are pulled into this visual mosh of art history, mythology, life cycles, renewal and the surreal, Papaioannou's blurring of genres and narratives is absolutely mesmerising and a must-see. Papaioannou explained in an interview: 'It's my thirst to redefine and reinvent beauty and harmony; [that is] what matters to me. Not deconstruction', adding that 'I do not think that narrative alone is enough for theater. I don't think anything alone is enough for art if the act of transformation is not achieved. If what I call alchemy is achieved, then no matter what the medium, it is enough.' For me there was a sense of alchemy at play here. The Great Tamer, if just for two hours, allows you to dwell in a dreamspace that exists between worlds and beliefs. It suspends time and logic. While my guess is the appeal is very subjective, if you enjoy the contemporary collapse of mediums and formulated histories, then The Great Tamer will not disappoint.

Life is an adventure, a story for many to take part in.
For me, my life has been much of a roller coaster, taking me up and down, throwing me upside down and out of gravity. In my short life on this planet, I've already learned a great deal of things, and in the process, I've lost and found myself, as well as who I am, numerous times. One of my biggest lessons in this is that you have to get lost in order to find yourself. Getting lost is, in fact, an adventure of itself.
Growing up in a divorced and blended family threw my life into a much different course than I would have ever expected. Some years were harder than others, and I often handled my pain in secret. However, I believe that these trials have prepared me for the real life issues I face every day, and they have molded me into a stronger woman. My biggest struggle during my adolescent years were with love. I didn't feel loved or accepted by those around me. I felt I was a burden to my family and friends, and at one really unhealthy point in my life, I felt that if I no longer existed, the people around me would have less problems. It's a little hard to figure out where you are and how you feel when you're standing in the eye of a tornado.
That tornado was me, and although I couldn't admit it back then with as much ease as I can now, I was a hot mess. The only thing that pulled me out of that terrible storm was God. Although, my relationship with Him is much different and much closer now, His love somehow saved me. As I started dating in high school, stumbling from relationship to relationship, I sought love and acceptance from whichever boyfriend I had at the time. I didn't realize it then, but that's exactly what I was doing.
In my transition to college, I was very stressed. I didn't know how to handle the amount of homework I had to do, my time was always taken up, I never had time for myself, and I didn't know how to handle this stress. A few anxiety attacks later, my friend had introduced me to a podcast that basically taught all about self-love. And at 18 years old, I delved into the depths of this wonderful world where I could provide myself with all the love and acceptance I would ever need.
As I continued working on myself, I learned so much about who I was and how beautiful I actually am, inside and out. But there was a lingering feeling, a sad and stinging feeling. Something was still not right. And although it took me a few tries in learning about myself, I realized I needed to be alone with myself for a while. It was almost a year ago that I decided to be single and actually truly single. No trying to ~talk~ to someone, or get into another relationship right after my previous one, just flirting and having fun and being my beautiful free self.
Being lost in relationships and being lost as a single person are two completely different things, but not really explainable. Being lost isn't really something you can put into words. To describe it the best way that I can, it's like feeling your life is completely falling apart, being nervous, feeling like your emotions have no validity, fighting, arguing, not knowing yourself, not knowing who you are, stumbling through life, wondering why you're on this path, finding out that where you are is not where you want to be, not knowing how to start, not wanting to start, being… lost.
But this universal feeling is not uncommon. EVERYONE, literally, everyone feels lost at some point in their life. And the point of this isn't to drag you through the crap storm that I've been through (crap storm is also a good word to describe being lost). My point here is to tell you just what the actual recipe is to getting back on the track you were meant to be on, getting… unlost.
By educating myself about how to love myself, by accepting my flaws and learning to improve them with that love, and by meditating and actually taking the time for myself, I've been able to figure out who I really am. Some days I get lost again, and I have a hard time finding my way back. But most of the time, "finding yourself" is actually less about being aware of where you actually are, and more about being content with not knowing where you are at all times. As you start to love yourself, you learn to be more content and find out how to become comfortable being uncomfortable. You find out that being lost isn't such a scary thing, when deep down you know who you really are.

Allow the State to sell into the log export market.
Lift the ban on export of state logs. if the state is going to log it's own land, then it should get top dollar. The notion that this protects mill jobs is no longer valid. Most mills use small logs grown on short rotaions. The state still grows on a longer rotation producing better export logs which many are not millable here.
