This summer we are again experimenting with a few edibles in our garden. This year we are wiser and have a more elaborate possum proofing enclosure over the plants they like to eat (and the ones we suspect they would enjoy a nibble at) and are elbow deep in an ongoing battle with orange stink bugs on our citrus trees. So far we have (prepare yourselves for some scintillating pictures folks...):
Baby limes
Baby lemons
Baby avocados
And baby olives! Aren't they cute? We are very excited that some of the olive trees in the front garden are fruiting this year.
In the ground we have baby radishes
and baby tomatoes...
...and some purple beans, a blueberry plant, two passionfruit vines, a rosella plant, some sweet corn and a thriving patch of herbs.
We don't expect to get success with everything we have planted, but its lots of fun trying and learning as we go.

Each Friday I am praying and fasting for the nations where Christians suffer the worst persecution around the world, as of 2014. This week I pray and fast for:
Somalia. 10.3 million with a few hundred Christians in the whole nation.
Pressure is increasing on the tiny Christian community in this Muslim-majority country. Islamic leaders and government officials publicly reinforce that there is no room for Christians, and there is a strong drive to purge Christianity from Somalia. The militant Islamist group, al-Shabaab, targets Christians and local communities. Ten believers are reported to have been killed by members of al-Shabaab in 2013. There is a high level of fear and mistrust among believers, who have to hide their faith for fear of betrayal. (Open Doors, World Watch List)
Today I prayed:
Lord, I remember the few hundred Christians in Somalia as though suffering with them and although some will suffer tribulation and testing, I pray that all are faithful until death that they may receive the crown of life. (Based on Hebrews 13:3 and Revelation 2:10)
Join with me on Fridays to fast and pray for prisoners, according to Hebrews 13:3.

Several Detained After Subway Bomb in Belarus Kills 12
MINSK, Belarus -- Authorities in Belarus say several people have been detained in yesterday's subway bombing that left 12 people dead and more than 200 wounded.
The interior minister says a radio-controlled bomb apparently was placed under a bench at a busy subway station.
He says police have created composite pictures of two male suspects using testimony from witnesses.
Another official says several people have been detained in the investigation. It's not clear if those people are considered suspects.
Earlier, the domestic security agency in the former Soviet nation said it had identified the likely attacker.

When I mention aimlessly, I'm not talking about with out direction or needing to document everything you're doing. What I'm talking about is how in the hell did most of the world forget the child like qualities of aimless curiosity and passion for discovery? Haven't you ever just watched the clouds looking for patterns, faces, and making up interesting stores about the items you see in the clouds? This could be a fish eye, a crabs claw, hands and fingers pinching in. Well, Gods wonder of course! 🙂
It seems there are so few that have this quality or desire. Perhaps we as humans have put too much trust in false images. Well, let me say when I say false images. I'm talking about how advertising has changed how many of us think. Ads are designed to appeal to our hidden self wanting to be something else.

But, forex is far from gambling. A smart, savvy, and disciplined forex investor is a far cry from a riverboat gambler. Moving forward with careful analysis and prudence can net you a profit just as easily as stock trading or commodities or bonds can - and in some ways, forex trading is actually easier.
I do not like day trading with 5-minute charts, personally, although it is possible to do. On a 5-minute, compared to a 1-minute chart, you find fewer trades each day. The 5-minute chart trades will last longer (typically) and the longer trades last the more likely volatility will die as the trades progresses, especially in trading during the US session. This means targets are less likely to be hit as the day progresses because you move out of the ideal day trading time after only about 40 to 60 bars depending on when you start trading. You have also lost a lot of information on a 5-minute chart. A 5-minute engulfing bar CANNOT be assumed to be consolidation breakout on the 1-minute chart. No matter what time frame you trade, the strategies don't change. Use the entry technique because there is a proper setup for it. DOn't take a trade because you believe it represents another style of entry on another timeframe (that just gets too complex).
Charts are categorized according to the way price action is depicted as well as the time frame of the period being examined. Imagine that we have a 4-hourly candlestick chart of the EURUSD pair. This means that each candlestick on the graph presents the price data of a four-hour long period in a compact form. What happens inside that time period is irrelevant. If we had chosen an hourly chart, each candlestick on the chart above would be replaced by four different candlesticks.
Some EAs on the market - especially the ones that scalp - have a risk-reward ratio of 15:1 and higher, which indicates that it uses a very risky strategy. A high risk-reward ratio does not necessarily mean that the EA does not make money. An Expert Advisor with a 95% success rate will still be profitable with a 15:1 risk-reward ratio, but if that rate drops to 93%, the EA will lose.

Cleaning after people is hard work; especially if you're employed by a celebrity. If you work for Naomi Campbell you get the Tater Tots beat out of you when you can't find your bosses size zero jeans. If you work for Arnold Schwarzenegger you get screwed; then re-screwed when his wife finds out. When I could afford a maid I couldn't even get her to do windows, let alone bang me without a condom. I have to tell you, if I screwed my boss; I wouldn't go back to cleaning toilets; didn't Arnie have some filing work to do?
Granted there are maids who enjoy hiding the feather duster with their boss. For some of them it's just sex, or even the thrill of a rich powerful man just wanting them. Some maids probably think their boss will leave the wife for them, fat chance.
Long ago the rich raped and abused their slaves and got away with it, maids or companions were not treated any better, often getting low wages, beatings and spotty time off. Luckily today, times have changed thanks to unions and teamwork. Some hotels have now agreed to install panic buttons for the maids. What happens when you're a maid in someone's home or traveling aboard with your boss? You're screwed literally and figurally.
If you work in a hotel you get a lot of rich oily jerks manhandling you like a Rubik's Cube at an 80's theme party. Some people wondered why the maid didn't fight off slimy French Monetary leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn; sadly a lot of people that clean toilets are foreign and come to the United States to try to make a better life for themselves, and their family. A lot of maids don't have green cards, so they are scared to go to the Police. I bet a lot of molestations happen at these fancy hotels and are covered up with money and threats.
A good man is hard to find; a good maid, even harder; some maid's suck and some take their job very seriously. Respecting people who work for you should be done professionally but with fairness and kindness. Remember, the woman giving you an extra towel, or that older lady making up your bed; are not only maids but someone's friend, wife, sister or mother.

Despite the fact that child sustenance, toys, apparel, and care things all require full exposure of materials and fixings, dispensable diapers are the special case.
In spite of the way that children will wear diapers – essentially continually – for around two years, and that this material will touch their private parts for that long extend of time, neither the FDA nor the FTC considers infant diapers to be therapeutic gadgets, a piece of attire, or a corrective.
The way things are today, there is no oversight or restorative testing required to find out whether diaper materials are protected. What's more, there is no legitimate commitment to give a full and finish posting of fixings and aromas utilized.
2. Dispensable Diapers Consist of Plastics and Potential Toxins
Regardless of the absence of full revelation with respect to the maker, autonomous testing of disposables has uncovered a questionable blend of materials and fixings:
The external covering is as often as possible produced using polyethylene film, which is basically plastic wrap. It is gotten from oil or gaseous petrol.
The inward covering is made out of polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer that ingests water. It is incorporated from propylene gas.
The retentive focus comprises of blanched wood mash, created by joining softwood strands and chemicals, which gives mass and retentiveness. It additionally contains sodium polyacrylate (otherwise called polyacrylic corrosive), a super spongy powder that can hold 30 times its weight in water per gram. Despite the fact that it is named anticipated that would be lethal, a common diaper houses 4 to 5 grams of these little, straightforward precious stones inside the middle, yet it at times spills out of the coating.
Engineered colors are utilized to shading diapers, make toon outlines, or as a wetness marker. Numerous diapers are made utilizing Disperse Blue 106, Disperse Blue 124, Disperse Yellow 3, and Disperse Orange 3, all of which have been known to cause contact dermatitis (diaper rash) and an expanded affectability to allergens.
In spite of the fact that these fixings and materials should worry without anyone else, it is the blend of chemicals utilized that can make a genuinely dangerous mix.
The wood mash center of diapers are faded with chlorine, a procedure that defiles the finished result with dioxins. Dioxins are very lethal and cancer-causing. Despite the fact that a recent report found that the introduction to dioxins in diapers is too low to represent a genuine wellbeing hazard, would you need to over and again (and for quite a long time) wrap your infant up in such a substance?
What's more, if that is not sufficiently awful, dispensable diapers really produce outflows that your child can take in. An examination distributed in 1999 utilized rats to analyze the respiratory impacts of rehash exposures to diaper discharges. Not exclusively did the analysts distinguish more than twelve chemicals, including toluene, styrene, and trichloroethylene, they watched that rehashed exposures are lethal to the respiratory tract and may cause or compound asthma.
3. Dispensable Diapers Generate Tons of Waste
It does not shock anyone that expendable diapers, utilized every day, different times each day, for no less than two or three years, delivers a considerable measure of landfill squander. As per an EPA report, the quantity of disposables disposed of in 2013 alone was 3.6 million tons, the likeness more than 20 billion diapers.
The effect, on an individual level, is as yet stunning. From birth to the time they are potty prepared, a solitary kid will use around 7,000 diapers. That figure means more than 2 tons of waste for every child!
Dispensable diapers are thought about trash. They can't be reused or treated the soil. Also, we have no clue to what extent they really take to deteriorate since dispensable diapers haven't been in presence sufficiently long for people to track it. Since landfills cover squander in a "dry tomb" – a dry and airless condition – a few appraisals peg dispensable diapers taking somewhere in the range of 250 to 500 years to corrupt.
4. The Chemicals in Disposable Diapers Leach Into the Environment
The amassed billions (or trillions?) of dispensable diapers sitting in landfills everywhere throughout the nation at the present time are filtering unsafe chemicals into the dirt and water.
Notwithstanding the human wellbeing concern, dioxins are likewise tireless natural contaminations (POPs) that collect in the human body and adversy affect biological communities and untamed life. Since POPs are impervious to debasement, they stay in nourishment, soil, water, and air until the end of time.
Another dreadful substance found in the external coating and sticky tape of numerous brands of diapers is tributyltin. A very lethal biocide, tributyltin is an endocrine disruptor this is greatly hurtful to oceanic life forms. Additionally impervious to debasement, it can hold on in the biological system for a long time.
While these are only two of a few manufactured substances that are equipped for affecting the soundness of the planet, let us not overlook what the diaper itself is loaded with: crap. Human dung are thought about biowaste with the ability to transmit pathogens. Fertilizer dispatched through the latrine is dealt with and handled to evacuate contaminants before it is discharged into the earth yet poopy diapers stay untreated. Adding human waste to the microorganisms officially exhibit at the junk dump builds the danger of viral and bacterial infections saturating the groundwater.
5. Dispensable Diapers are a Drain on the Earth's Resources
The consistent producing of expendable diapers represents a noteworthy deplete on the world's assets while propping up grimy businesses.
The wood mash utilized as a part of diapers is equivalent to the loss of around 250,000 trees for each year. The plastics used to make the external and internal coating of the diaper is gotten from oil, a non-sustainable petroleum derivative. The super permeable sodium polycrylate precious stones are additionally made from unrefined petroleum. From gaining crude materials, preparing plastics, fabricating the item, and transport, the expendable diaper industry ends up being a major supporter of oil.
On the other side, the primary feedback leveled against reusable fabric diapers is its water and vitality utilize. A recent report contrasting expendable and material diapers presumed that washing fabric diapers had the equal ecological effect as the crude asset extraction and assembling procedure of disposables. This examination had one noteworthy defect: the information used to decide how much water and power is consumed per heap of material diapers depended on clothes washers and dryers made in 1997. We've made some amazing progress from that point forward and clothing machines are unquestionably much more proficient than they were 20 years back! You can decrease your ecological impression significantly assist by dependably air drying, running just full loads, and keeping the water temperature underneath 140°F.
6. Dispensable Diapers are Costly
Despite the fact that infants will require more continuous changings and more established children less, by and large children should use around 8 diapers for each prior day figuring out how to utilize a can. It takes a youngster between 2 to 3 years to dependably visit the washroom voluntarily, putting the count for expendable diapers at 5,840 to 8,760 from support to chest.

Sophie... otherwise known as Ro Ro... needed a new fall outfit.
Actually... this is a picture of her room and closet... do you really think this kid needs more clothes???
I know.... but I just like to make clothes. Leave me alone.
She NEEDED this. :D
Here's little Lucy modeling the 12 months shirt and tiny pants- that look like capris.
This is the first time I've sewn anything out of minky and Lucy thinks it's AWESOME!!! She keeps getting it out and wrapping it around her and asking me to make a dress out of it.
She kept feeling the applique, too.
"It's so soft, Mom!"
"Will you make me one just like this?"
For the pants I used this pattern.
The shirt came from Wal-Mart and the applique is from Planet Applique. I'm pretty sure I bought every single one of the new designs she put out for Halloween....
The hair pretties are from Pickle Pie Designs, but I also made this bow to wear after Halloween.
and since Ella says, "Sophie LOVES HER TOYS!" every time she sees this photo.
We made her a little toy, too.
It's a FREE in the hoop file from Jesse Kate Designs. I just put in fiber fill and a little wrapping from my thread to crinkle instead of the beans.
Happy Fall Ro Ro! I'll get this in the mail soon!

Amino Acid Supplements - Building Blocks for Better Health
The human body requires around 22 amino acids, 14 of which can be taken in through a proper daily diet. The remaining 8 can be found through supplementation. They are essential for cell development, tissues repair, immunity, and optimal overall health.

8 Fun Things To Do In Orvieto
Orvieto is a hill town about an hour outside of Rome in the region of Umbria. The old town on the hill-top has very few cars and few tourists who stay longer than mid-morning to dusk for a single day. Give Orvieto a little bit longer, maybe three days, and you'll get to discover all the little delights of the town.
Kevin, Beth and I stayed in B & B La Soffitta, which is walking distance from all the things I recommend in the Old Town. There's no elevator and quite a few spiral stairs, but once you are inside it's well worth it. There's breakfast each morning in the dining room with yogurt, coffee, fruit, muesli, Melba toast, and fresh bread.
Drink White Wine In The Sun
Orvieto is known for dry white wines that blend the local Trebbiano and Grechetto grapes. We enjoyed our first sips at a long lunch on a patio. We sat in the sun eating handmade pasta, sipping glass after glass of wine, and people watching as the locals transitioned from work to siesta.
Visit Il Mago di Oz
Let owner Giuseppe Rosella guide you through his magical workshop and you'll wonder if you've been transported to the North Pole. Giuseppe doesn't speak a word of English, but he doesn't need it to express his enthusiasm for his work. Smile with him and he'll open every intricate, handmade music box in the store. Don't touch anything and don't take any photographs. Just chill out and let yourself feel like a kid again as Giuseppe shakes up his snow globes and shows off his collection of masks for Carnivale.
Climb The Bell Tower
The Torre del Moro is hard to miss because it's so much taller than the other buildings in Orvieto. But this clock tower is still pretty short. You can climb up in just a few minutes and look out over Umbria. Just take note of the time: bells ring on the quarter hour and they are loud when you're standing right next to them. (When the bells rang on our visit I jumped violently that I nearly threw out my back; it hurt for the rest of the day.)
Explore The Caves
Take a tour with Oriveto Underground and you'll find that the subterranean story of Orvieto is just as fascinating as the above ground story. In the photograph above, we are standing in front of pigeon coops. The pigeons lived mostly underground but could fly out through windows in the side of the hill. They were bred for many reasons, including food.
Eat Pigeon
Foodies must try the classic roast pigeon at least once in Orvieto. It's not served as commonly as it once was so you'll have to seek it out. We went to the aptly named Trattoria La Palomba (palomba is one of the words for pigeon in Italian). We all tried it and it was interesting, kind of like gamey chicken. The rest of the food and wine at Trattoria La Palomba was amazing, especially the potato side dish I ordered. So even if you don't want pigeon it's a good place to eat.
Hike Around The Hill
There's a trail called Rupe that rings the hill that the Old Town sits on. It takes a few hours to hike, but it's mostly flat and difficult to get lost. However, if there's been any rain recently the path gets pretty slippery in places. Rick Steves gives a good overview of the stops along the way with one exception: the hike is a bit more moderate than easy. Wear shoes you'd wear in the woods.
Climb Down St. Patrick's Well
This well is 40 stories deep and you reach the bottom via a circular path ringing the interior of their well. Today, people climb down for fun but in the past people and their donkeys walked down regularly to get water they needed.
Meet The Cats
Orvieto is full of stray cats. They're beautiful, well-fed and generally friendly. Meet them at your own risk. We loved getting to know them.
Have you been to Orvieto? What did you enjoy there?

Is Your Hair Made of Donuts? is an animated short based on the book of the same name by author and nutritional consultant, Joy Feldman.
In a world that super-sizes everything, the Blossoms do things differently. Young Matt and Maddie Blossom aren't allowed to eat donuts or any of the other chemical confections kids currently crave.
Matt and Maddie are tired of feeling different from their classmates so Mom allows them to indulge in all the donuts and delicacies they can eat from the supermarket's forbidden zone.
Soon after, they embark on a whimsical adventure in the form of a shared dream. Their surroundings—and hairdos—undergo a colorful metamorphosis that causes them to rethink their former fondness for fatty foods.
This animated film project was made possible by The Picture of Children's Health, a non-profit dedicated to educating and empowering children to make lifelong healthy lifestyle choices and achieve optimal health.

We did end up at a nice cafe, quite western-ish, looks like it's run by a christian organisation. This did solve an emerging lunch conundrum, which was great. Would definitely return.
After lunch we walked into the city and went to a camping store which sells these great water filters made by Katadyn. We had been looking for one, and they had them. After some 'discussion' (I use the word in the very loosest sense), we managed a purchase (it's always exciting when I can use a card instead of bundles of cash), and caught the trolley bus home.
So some small progress: a water filter and cleaner floors.
Here's a video of some driving in Mongolia.

We live in a world where companies will deliver alcohol, condoms and even fresh socks and underwear, straight to your door. Life has never been this easy.
Tervey, Australia's first bacon-subscription service, will be in Melbourne soon. Because, according to Bryan Robertson (founder of Tervey and creator of cereal pop-up, Cereal Anytime), breakfast efficiency can always be improved.
"You can't beat the smell of bacon cooking on a lazy Sunday morning," Robertson says.
The service is quite simple. You place an order online and, at your convenience, fall into a sweet slumber. When you're fully rested, gently wake and mosey on down to your front door. Open the door, and there, on your doorstep, you'll find a box of bacon.
"The bacon is stored in a polystyrene box with a dry-ice pack. For the sake of freshness, we do recommend that your order is refrigerated or cooked before noon."
For Robertson, Tervey is all about convenience. "It's cutting out multiple unnecessary steps for professionals who don't have time (or the inclination) to go to the supermarket."
But it's also about a love of good-quality, free-range meat: Tervey's bacon comes directly from local farms.
So you can tuck into a thick slice of DIY-cured maple-syrup bacon (you add the syrup, salt, spices and chilli), or get stuck into juniper-flavoured, salt-cured speck ham (similar to prosciutto). Or send your loved one to the door and wake to the smell of free-range bacon.
Orders are delivered with additional basting materials, spices and crackling recipes to ensure you make the most of your meat.
Robertson has grand plans for bringing home even more bacon. "I'm from South Africa, so I'm a big lover of boerewors (a South African sausage and delicacy)," he says. "If enough people sign up to Tervey, it would be great to expand into barbequed meat."
Tervey is due to launch this summer. Subscribe online at tervey.com.

When it comes to naming a baby, sometimes picking the first initial can be a big help in narrowing down what to pick. If you've settled on the sixth letter of the alphabet for your baby girl, you're in luck! These 'F' names for girls are all the rage for the fantastic ladies.
From the traditional to the new and trendy, these names have topped popular name charts for years. They're a little floral, totally fierce, and definitely fantastic.
Take a look at these 25 'F' names for little girls:
- Fabiana: The traditionally Spanish name has become one of the most popular baby names for girls in both Brazil and Argentina, but it's still not used often here in the US. So why not pick it for your little girl? From Fabiana Vallejos to Fabiana Tambosi, the name has some pretty famous and especially sporty namesakes.
- Faith: The originally Latin word means "confidence in belief," and is what we know faith to mean now, but it's been one of the most popular 'F' names ever. It's more often used as a middle name, but from Faith Hill and Faith Daniels, it's been loved as a first name too.
- Fantine: You may recognize it most as a character from Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables, but the name actually means "child" in Latin.
- Farrah: Multiple languages and cultures have their own definition of the name, but one thing is consistent: It's all joyous. In Gaelic, it means "pleasant," in Persian, it means "glory," and in Arabic, it means "joy."
- Farrow: Mia Farrow may be the most famous Farrow. The name is pronounced the same way as pharaoh, so it naturally exudes leadership and power.
More from The Stir: 20 Strong Military Baby Names for Little Girls
- Fatima: Taken from the Arabic fatima, it means "she who abstains from forbidden things" and "she who weans an infant." It was originally the name of the Prophet's youngest and favored daughter.
- February: It's less popular than April or May or June, but February is another bona fide month baby name that can work for any little lady.
- Felicity: Rooted in the Latin felicitas, which means "happiness," the name has grown to also mean "good fortune." It's been popularized by actresses Felicity Huffman and Felicity Jones, and the popular 1990s show, Felicity.
- Felipa: A different version of Philippa (of Kate Middleton's sister's fame), it has Pippa as a nickname. Parents have used Lipa and Fe as nicknames for this alternate spelling name.
- Fernanda: The female form of Ferdiand, the names is believed to mean "peace," "youth," "courage," and "risk." Certainly all positive meanings, the name also has nicknames like Fair, Fern, and Nanda!
- Fia: A short and sweet Swedish name, that's come to be known as an alternate for the popular Sofia. It's also been used as a nickname for Fiammetta, which means "small flame."
- Fianna: It means "fair" or "white" in Gaelic and is also the plural form of Fian, which stands for a group of warriors in old Irish mythology.
- Finley: Taken from the Gaelic fionn and laogh, it translates directly into "fair-haired warrior." Expecting a little blonde fighter? This is the perfect choice.
More from The Stir: 20 Baby Names 'Guaranteed' to Produce a Naughty Child
- Fiona: Another version of the Gaelic fionn, the name has been a popular moniker in countless stories, shows, and movies. Most notably? Shrek, obviously!
- Flame: It's a flamin' middle name for the ladies, and even British actress Tina Malone used it for her daughter. To put it very clearly, it's on fire.
- Flavia: Nicknames like Via and Flav are two of the most popular for Flavia, which originally comes from the Latin word for "blonde and golden-haired."
- Florence: It all started with the traditional Florentina, which means "blooming" and "prosperous," but the new name was made famous by Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing. Kids these days, however, may also associate it with the band Florence + The Machine.
- Flynn: The unisex name has gone the way of Wyatt and Taylor, and the ladies are taking over its usage. It means "red-haired," so feel free to snag it for your little ginger beauty.
- Frances: A feminine form of Franceis, or Frank, Frances means "hailing from the French Empire." It's a name that spans centuries and reached its peak of popularity in the 1910s.
- Francesca: Francesca is the female version of Francesco, which means "free man." Though it is also a classic name, it's experienced a surge in popularity since 2006, after Jason Bateman used the name for his daughter.
More from The Stir: 20 Divine Baby Names for Girls
- Francine: Though it's a unisex name in France, it's a solidly female name in America. It also stems from Frances, but the -ine ending gives it an extra feminine kick.
- Freya: The feminine form of Frey, Freya means "lady" or "noblewoman." In ancient Norse mythology, she was the goddess of fertility and destiny and was the most beautiful of women.
- Frida: The Old Norse name means "beautiful" and "beloved," but we all know its most famous connection. The Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo has made the name famous for all generations to come.
- Friday: You may know it as the middle name of The Addams Family's Wednesday Adams, but it follows alongside the calendar name trend. Just take a look at Nicole Kidman, who named her daughter Sunday Rose.
- Fuchsia: Colorful, to say the least. The bright pink color is also a beautiful pink and purple flower, so you're hitting the floral and color trends, in one bright swoop.
Which is your favorite 'F' name for girls?

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
(wolf) one of the two "princes" of Midian in the great invasion of Israel. (B.C. about 1250) He is always named with Oreb (Judges 7:25; 8:3; Psalm 83:11). Zeeb and Oreb were not slain at the first rout of the Arabs, but at a later stage of the struggle, probably in crossing the Jordan at a ford farther down the river. Zeeb, the wolf, was brought to bay in a wine‐press which in later times bore his name-the "wine‐press of Zeeb." SEE [OREB].
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

So this is late by a few weeks (I've been busy) and some of you reading this will probably hate me for posting this just after Christmas but I have discovered a brilliant app: Ask the Gift Genies. The brains behind the operation are the lovely people at peoplelovepresents.com, who ask you a few simple questions about the person you're buying for and then trot off across cyberspace to find you the perfect present within your budget.
Yes, actual people do it, which means that the request I put in for my mother on Christmas Eve hasn't yet been fulfilled (everyone needs a break right?!) but before Christmas responses were speedy. I have only tried this for a few people and I haven't actually purchased any of their recommendations. Name, age, relationship and brief info isn't really enough for them to know a person completely (and present buying should include your own thoughtfulness) but they can definitely inspire you. Of course the more you give them to work with the better. i.e. "she is a girl and likes pretty things" is never going to be as good as "she loves blue candles". Yes my examples are appalling but you get the gist...put in something more structured and you get a better result.
Here's the best bit though: It's entirely free. Watch this little video by Lady Geek TV to give you a better idea and then head to the App Store pronto.

DC Showcase Presents Hawkman Volume 1 (1961-66/2007) - Gardner Fox, Joe Kubert, Murphy Anderson, et al.
Trade paperback, 560 pages, DC Comics
Retail price $16.99
Back in January, I decided to take up Chris Marshall's challenge over at Collected Comics Library to adopt a comic book character or creator in 2013. I chose Joe Kubert, an artist I'd had very little exposure to over the years. So a few months ago, I picked up DC Showcase Presents Hawkman Volume 1, knowing that Kubert didn't draw all the stories in the collection, but that was okay; I had some vague memories of reading Hawkman as a kid, so I figured why not?
Like the Marvel Essentials series, the DC Showcase series brings you mammoth phone-book sized editions of black-and-white comics for a pretty reasonable price. If you're on the fence about a character or title, this series is a good way to get your feet wet without spending a whole lot of money.
Realize, however, that although these stories were first published in the early 60s, this is not the first appearance of Hawkman. He was originally a Golden Age character dating back to 1940 with Flash Comics #1. Hawkman has a much-recycled and convoluted history. In the Golden Age, he was the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince. In the 1980s and beyond, other Hawkman characters appear (sometimes with different names) and disappear, but the Hawkman in this volume is Katar Hol, a policeman from the planet Thanagar. Katar and his wife Shayera (a policewoman) have come to Earth to capture an escaped criminal from Thanagar (all of which is related in the volume's first story, "Creature of a Thousand Shapes!" from The Brave and the Bold #34). After solving the crime, Katar and Shayera decide to stick around and learn about Earth police procedures while posing as museum curators Carter and Shiera Hall.
Kubert art
Most of the stories involve some detective and/or science work, but are mostly backdrops that provide a springboard for Hawkman and Hawkgirl to do their thing - catching the bad guys. The Gardner Fox stories usually aren't that great, but they're Silver Age fun and if you can put yourself back in that early 60s era, you'll have a good time with this volume. But the real reason to buy this collection is the Joe Kubert artwork. Although Kubert's contributions stop after page 162 (of 560), those first 162 pages are stunning, even in black and white. Kubert's world is one of darkness, which is reflected in the characters, particularly the villains, who appear far more sinister and cold-hearted than those drawn by Murphy Anderson. Kubert also has an impeccable eye for bodies in flight, a skill he developed to an extraordinary level on Enemy Ace several years later. (I'm looking at pages 129 and 130 from "Masked Marauders of Earth" from The Brave and the Bold #43 as just one example.) The perspective and angles of his point of view panels give a real sense of wonder to the world of Hawkman.
Anderson art
You miss most of that when Murphy Anderson takes over on page 163. Anderson's a fine artist, don't get me wrong, but he has a different set of skills. In his hands, Gardner Fox's stories are, for the most part, drawn as run-of-the-mill comic book stories. There's not the same sense of wonder, the same tone of underlying darkness, the same risk-taking that you have with Kubert. One of the biggest gripes I have with Anderson is his overuse of long vertical panels. Kubert uses them sparingly; Anderson all the time. I don't mean to slam Anderson. Again, he's a fine comic book artist. His biggest problem is he followed Joe Kubert. (You want to be the guy that follows the guy that follows Kubert!)
I plan to keep this volume, but will probably limit myself to re-reading only the Kubert-drawn stories. If anyone has read the Grant Morrison run or the Geoff Johns omnibus, please let me know what you think.

It appears that Obamacare is delivering surprising benefits to health insurers. While some worried about the possibility of losing money, especially in the first year of providing benefits, some of the largest health plans are firmly committed to the program.
According to Forbes, the fourth-quarter earnings reported this week by these large health insurers indicate that they can indeed handle the first year of potential risk from new participants who are using the government exchanges to buy subsidized plans.
Under the law, uninsured Americans have until March 31 to avoid paying a penalty by getting enrolled in a plan. Millions are eligible for subsidies up to $5,000 to reduce premiums and a broad range of health plans offers something for everyone.
Last Friday, David Cordani, Cigna's chief executive officer, said that the newly enrolled participants were slightly older compared to the general population. Humana, on the other hand, reported earlier that more younger people are enrolling as the deadline approaches.
Humana provided the most detailed information about its enrollment growth from the exchanges and indicated that the younger people the industry needs to get signed up are beginning to enroll.
Bruce Broussard, head of Humana, told analysts that younger enrollees who are receiving premium subsidies are choosing plans with lower deductibles and higher metal tier. He believes that the nearly 82 percent of enrollees receiving subsidies will offset some of the possible losses associated with a deteriorating risk pool from the higher membership in non-Obamacare plans.
It was Mark Bertolini, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Aetna, who listed the Obamacare benefits after his company reported profits that were nearly double those for the same period last year. Calling the revenue opportunities unprecedented, Bertolini mentioned (among other factors) the growth in Medicare Advantage as 11,000 baby boomers a day, age into the Medicare program. Growth in public exchanges that could reach 25 million members by 2020, and Medicaid expansion where 15 million more will become eligible under the Affordable Care Act.
Overall, Obamacare is delivering benefits to health insurers that provide more than enough revenue opportunities. None of these industry leaders seem to be planning to bail out of the program. These leaders, according to Forbes, expect to begin to recover their implementation costs by next year and maybe even sooner.
Now, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has introduced legislation that would repeal an Obamacare provision that protects insurance companies from potential unexpected changes in marketplace composition.
The provision creates "risk corridors" that provide a safety net for insurers during the first three years of the program's implementation. The idea is to protect the whole marketplace if more of the expensive patients sign up than anticipated. Insurance companies estimate their costs in advance. In the end, if costs are higher, the government pays part to the extra costs, but if costs are lower, the insurance companies pay the government.
Rubio is referring to his bill the as the Obamacare Bailout Prevention Act and it would eliminate these risk corridors.
Writing as a guest columnist for the Shreveport Times (January 16, 2014), Mark Reitz, president and CEO Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, says labeling this provision a bailout is misleading. Rather, he describes it as "… a two-way street designed to also help the government ensure the success of the ACA and keep costs down for consumers."
Without the safety net, he says, consumers could see premium rates increase as much as 10 to 15 percent. Moreover, he warns that "…eliminating these safety net programs won't just lead to the failure of the ACA. There is a good chance it will also jeopardize the entire private health insurance market and ultimately lead to a single-payer system, more government control, less choice and higher taxes."
Reitz concludes his article by predicting a long, and bumpy ride ahead. For the time being, Obamacare is delivering some surprising benefits to the health insurers. Going forward, the question may be whether some of those benefits are a necessary safety net or a bailout.

Provençal Tomato Cheese TartAugust 23rd, 2017 0 comments
There is nothing better than ripe tomatoes in August and this is the perfect summer recipe for tomato season. My host mother Martine would make this tart when I lived in Lille. Funny enough I remember the first time she made it. It was for dinner served with a salad. I remember looking at the table thinking, "Really?!? This is it? I'm not sure I'm going to like this." Boy did I stand corrected! To this day this is one of my favorite things to make. It is also here that I fell in love with goat cheese.
Sometimes I even like to have fun by switching up the tart pans I use. Instead of using a 10-inch round, I may go for a rectangular or hearts shaped pan. Making smaller individual tarts not only impress guests, but make for great appetizers and are perfect for transporting to outdoor picnics.
Martine told me the key to the tart is making sure almost all the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates, because let's face it no one likes a soggy crust. I also knew her addition of herbes de Provences is what really brought the flavor to the next level. Tomatoes at the height of their season, quality cheese and herbes de Provences just so happens to be one of those dream combinations. Taste and see for yourself how simple ingredients can turn into the perfect lunch or dinner.
*Click here for Martine's Pate Brisee recipe.
Provençal Tomato Cheese Tart
- 4 medium tomatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick, seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan (preferably pareggiano reggiano cheese
- 1 recipe Martine's Pate Brisée (click above for recipe)
- 4 ounces goat cheese, sliced (preferably Crottin de Chavignol)
- ¼ pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 2 teaspoons herbes de Provences
- fine sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ and adjust a rack to the middle of the oven. Place sliced tomatoes on a paper towel and sprinkle with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Make Martine's Pate Brisee dough according to the recipe and place inside of a 10 inch ruffled tart pan.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan evenly on the bottom of the tart shell. With a paper towel, remove the excess moisture from the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes nicely around the inside of the tart, being sure to cover the entire surface of the tart. It's ok to overlap the tomatoes. Place the goat cheese and mozzarella, alternating between the two, on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence, 1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake the tart for 45 minutes to an hour, until almost all the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates and the crust is golden brown. If you notice the tart is starting to brown too quickly and there is still a lot of liquid left, cover the tart with foil. After the tart is finished let cool down for 15 minutes before serving so the tart sets and is easier to cut. Cut using a serrated knife.
- Don't have time to make crust? Buy frozen puff pastry or unsweetened pie dough instead.
- Love olives? Try adding sliced or pitted olives to the tart in true Provençal fashion.
- Change up the cheese, use your favorite cheese or blend of cheeses.

Future of the France Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2022
French military expenditure, which stands at US$44 Billion in 2017, declined at a CAGR of -4.04% during the historic period, attributed mainly to the erosion in Euro- Dollar exchange rates. It is however anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.03% during the forecast period to value US$51 Billion in 2022.The country, being a permanent member of the UN Security Council and NATO, is one of the highest contributors and therefore this active participation in international affairs requires higher spending on the defense sector.
French domestic defense industry, in spite of being highly advanced and satisfying the majority of its military requirement, relies on foreign imports for advanced technology equipment such as sensors, engines, and transport aircraft. In addition, the French defense industry also takes part in technology transfer programs with countries like the US and Italy. Even though the US remains the largest supplier of arms to France, the country has recently begun to import from other European countries such as Germany and Sweden. Furthermore, France's commitment to the European Union encourages a policy of giving priority to European manufactured equipment and this policy is expected to result in a shift in focus from the US to other European countries during the forecast period.
French homeland security expenditure stands at US$20.8 Billion in 2017, and is estimated to reach US$22.3 Billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 1.55% during 2018–2022. This expenditure is primarily driven by efforts to combat the rise in the number of internal security threats, terrorist attacks, cyber-crimes, and the need to defend borders.
France exports to Egypt accounts for nearly 19.4% of overall defense exports, followed by China and UAE accounting to 11% and 9.1% of overall defense exports respectively, largely involving military aircraft. These exports are expected to improve as a result of growing contracts and increasing defense expenditure in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region.

- French military expenditure, which stands at US$44 billion in 2017, declined at a CAGR of -4.04% during the historic period, attributed mainly to the erosion in Euro- Dollar exchange rates.The country, being a permanent member of the UN Security Council and NATO, is one of the highest contributors and therefore this active participation in international affairs requires higher spending on the defense sector. This, coupled with the country's efforts in replacing aging military equipment, along with modernizing defense forces with advanced technology equipment, is expected to drive the defense expenditure over the forecast period. As a percentage of GDP, the country's defense expenditure is expected to average 1.8% over the forecast period.
- The French MoD allocated an average of 41.9% for capital expenditure out of the total defense expenditure during the historic period, which is expected to increase marginally over the forecast period to an average of 42.1%. The major procurements initiated by the country include the acquisition of the FELIN system for soldier modernization, the Rafale fighter program, A400M transport aircraft, Barracuda submarines, MK II drones, Iveco PPT trucks, reconnaissance helicopters, naval vessels, frigates, and infantry fighting vehicles. The French MoD allocated an average of 58.1% of revenue expenditure during the historic period which is expected to decline marginally over the forecast period to an average of 57.9% of the total defense spending. This decline is mainly due to the reduction in troop size and military personnel.
- The French MoD is expected to invest in military-IT networking, transport aircraft, nuclear attack submarines, and infrastructure construction.

The winter storm that blanketed Hagerstown's roadways with more than 4 inches of snow Monday night and early Tuesday left some motorists wondering why more wasn't done to clear the streets before rush hour.
On East Franklin Street in front of City Hall, several vehicles were spinning their wheels Tuesday morning as drivers tried to make it up a small hill that was covered with slush and packed snow.
Joshua Babcock said he and his wife, Jessica, were downtown to pay bills.
"The roads down here ... they're hardly plowed," Joshua Babcock said. "Good thing we have four-wheel drive. I think (the road crews) could have done better. I've seen them do better. I don't know if they're cutting costs or what."
Hagerstown City Councilwoman Ashley Haywood said from her Skyline Coffee shop on Public Square that she believed the snow crews were doing a good job.
She said the trucks left some snow on the streets because if they plowed to the ground, a layer of ice would have formed and made driving more dangerous. The city also was trying to remove snow with a smaller staff, and salt that was expected earlier this month did not all arrive, Haywood said.
"We have to pick and choose our battles," she said. "We were supposed to receive 120 tons of salt, but we didn't get it. That might be some of the problem that we didn't get our allocation of salt."
Hagerstown Public Works Director Erik Deike wrote in an e-mail on Tuesday morning that his workers were making an effort to address the storm that hit the area Monday evening.
"Sleet, freezing rain and snow fell throughout the night until approximately 4 a.m.," Deike wrote. "The temperatures at the beginning of the storm were around 28 degrees and fell through the night to about 18 degrees. The lower temperatures caused the compacted snow on the road to freeze and remain frozen."
Deike said attempts to plow the snow from the road were only somewhat successful because vehicles on the roads compacted the snow.
"The National Weather System forecasted 5 to 9 inches of snow," he wrote. "Salt was not initially applied to the streets due to the temperatures, quantity of snow predicted and rate of snowfall. Salt was applied towards the end of the storm and continues to be applied to the streets. However, the continued low temperatures hinder a quick melting process. The salt creates a slush that is then pushed off leaving more snow beneath it. The Public Works Department will continue to clear the streets as necessary."
Despite the public works department's efforts, numerous residents said they didn't believe the city had done enough.
"The sidewalks are better than the streets," Hagerstown resident Bob Smith said.
The city did a good job clearing streets in some places, but many streets were left covered with snow and slush, Antietam Street resident Lorissa Souders said.
"They did a good job on (Potomac Street), but you can't see ours. It's still snow covered," Souders said. "Honestly, they could have done a little bit better. They knew (the storm) was coming."
Penny Hartka of Pennsauken, N.J., said as she was stopped in traffic at Potomac and Washington streets that Hagerstown wasn't the only city having problems with snow removal.
"They're horrible," Hartka said of the snow-covered streets downtown. "These roads are as bad as they are back home."

Auto magic
The superhero app of auto rickshaws is here
Wea��ve all been through the gruelling process of catching an auto rickshaw. Either the metre is rigged or youa��re refused a ride to your destination. And if the driver is not guilty of those, then hea��ll probably take you to Jayanagar via Beijing. But thanks to the father-son duo of Partharsarathy and Aravind MA, the men behind Happy Auto, you can bid adieu to that.
a�?Despite police action in terms of imposing fines, suspending driver licenses and other forms of punishment, there has been no change in the behaviour of auto drivers. We wanted to change the way the public looks at auto drivers and also get them to treat the public as their customers and work towards their satisfaction,a�? begins Partha-sarathy, adding that instead of punishing the a�?bada�� autos, rewarding the a�?gooda�� ones will be encouraging to the auto community.
Happy travels
To get involved in this process of cleaning up the auto rickshaw rides, all you need to do is download Happy Auto and register your name and number. Then, every time you ride a rickshaw, you can log on with the auto registration number as well as the driver identification number. The commuter gives responses to five simple queries, which then give an overall rating in the range of 0-10 based on an internal algorithm. a�?When we accumulate such feedback for each auto over a period of, say 6 months, and if the final average rating of an auto (or driver) is 8 or more out of a possible 10, the Bangalore Traffic Police invites the auto driver and issues a Happy Auto sticker, which he can paste on his auto,a�? he explains. Following that mark of appreciation, commuters can easily identify Happy Autos and choose them over unmarked ones. A lovely effort in our books, and a hopeful attempt at letting citizens get home without fear of being stranded in a dark alley on the wrong side of town.

Pipers play holiday tunes as they march along Dundas Street in the 2016 Flamborough Santa Claus Parade. – Lindsey Ryder photo
It's parade week — a very busy, exciting time. The hard-working parade committee (of volunteers, might I add) is making sure that all of the last-minute details are set.
And of course, what would the Flamborough Santa Claus Parade be like if we didn't have those pesky road closures to contend with?
We understand that this night is challenging for the whole town, yet more so for folks who either don't attend the parade or live directly on the route. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and know that most of us make this 'travel' sacrifice for the kids — it's all about those smiling faces.
This year, we are faced with an even larger obstacle than usual: the unexpected closure of Parkside Drive between Braeheid Avenue and Hwy. 6.
Parade organizers have been in touch with the City of Hamilton and the HSR, and everyone is in the same boat as the folks who will be accessing town for the parade before and after the event. To say this is an inconvenience would be an understatement, but we have lots of notice and can plan ahead, so please do so.
If you live east of the route, park east, and the same for west of the route. Please don't try to cross town if you can avoid it, as the side streets will be packed and Dundas Street can only hold so many cars.
How about walking to the parade if you can? Or maybe grabbing some friends and carpooling? Even better, stay for a bit after the parade and grab a beverage or a snack at one of our local restaurants or attend a gathering at a home close by and warm up there before heading home.
If we all work together, show some patience and goodwill toward others, we can get into the Christmas spirit and everyone can go home happy.
And please do me a (personal) favour: take a deep breath and subscribe to the 24-hour rule we hockey parents use before you decide to either post your frustration on Facebook or Twitter, or call your councillor's office.
On behalf of the parade, the city, and Coun. Judi Partridge's office, we offer drivers our sincere apology for any inconvenience you may encounter on Nov. 25.
Now, let's keep our fingers crossed for great weather!

In the heart of old Kalkan this charming British owned house - one of the oldest in the village - is just minutes away from the local shops and restaurants and a minute from Kalkan beach.The traditional whitewashed walls are offset with climbing bourgainvillea, wooden balconies and shutters. The delightful roof terrace looks out to sea, and the little islands in the bay, and the back rooms onto a small square shaded by mulberry trees. This characterful house is simply but tastefully decorated and has been completely refurbished this year, with new and well equipped modern bathrooms and kitchen, without compromising the original features. Kalkan is situated east of Dalaman airport between the towns of Fethiye and Kas, and is one of Turkeys more sophisticated resorts. Built around an ancient Greek/Turkish harbour on the beautiful turquoise coast, this small town has developed to provide everything needed by the modern tourist without losing its charm.

About Jash Laing
I live with my partner in a farmhouse in Northern Scotland. My 4 chidren are now grown up and all over the world but we regularly meet up in Kalkan which they have known since their childhoods, for family holidays. I am an artist and also have a small catering company. I have always loved travelling and lived in Nepal for 5 years when the children were small. We love entertaining and eating good food and drinking wine, and have had many a convivial evening in Kalkan doing just that!
Jash Laing purchased this Apartment in 2003
Why Jash Laing chose Kaş
Having had the next door house (TK664) since 1999, we knew the area well, and had always loved being in the old village, which now that Kalkan has grown so much bigger, feels like an oasis. Yet it is so central being so close to the beach, the harbour and lots of restaurants and bars. Also the charm and hospitality of the people has not changed since we first came, which makes Kalkan such a pleasure to return to.
What makes this Apartment unique
It is wonderful to be in the heart of the pretty old village yet in such a peaceful location. One can walk down to the beach for a swim before breakfast and after a hot day out at sea or on the beach it is a very short journey home, unlike most of the villas which are much higher up in the town. One does not need a car except for exploring the surrounding area. We love the fact that the house is old and full of character, and have been very aware of this while refurbishing it, but the newly put in bathrooms and kitchen gives it a modern touch. And of course its own stunning roof terrace, which has been universally popular with family and guests alike, is a great draw.

- Notes on accommodation: The house is one of the oldest in Kalkan and we have completely refurbished it this year, but have kept as many as the old features as possible , for instance the wooden floor upstairs, and the beams, but without compromising comfort. the other rooms have tiled floors and killim rugs. The thick walls keep it much cooler than most modern built houses. The bathrooms are completely new this year, as is the kitchen, which is fully equipped and leads out onto a wide breakfast balcony overlooking the pretty tree shaded square below. The 1st floor double bedroom has its own balcony from which the sea can be seen. The ground floor double room opens out onto the square, and table and chairs can be provided for sitting out there. There is air conditioning in both double bedrooms and mosquito nets for both double beds. The accommodation would suit a family well. Outside: There is a spacious roof terrace, overlooking the sea one side, and mountains the other, as well as some of the pretty Kalkan roof tops, with cushions and 2 sun loungers. An umbrella, portable barbeque, and table and chairs for eating at are also up there. The 1st floor bedroom has a long balcony with a sea view, and the kitchen a large enough balcony for breakfast, with an outside staircase leading down to the pretty tree shaded square. The ground floor double bedroom also opens out on to the square, and is another area to use for a quiet drink or meal or to relax in with a book out of the sun. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Towels and linen included. Weekly linen change but can be more frequent for extra price on request. Other: There is a "chill-out" room with a large sofa covered in cushions, a fridge and storage area, a table for eating in bad weather, leading out to the large roof terrace.

Excellent location, stunning views from roof terrace. Property well equipped & maintained but both shower rooms need extraction fans
Great Location!
I would describe this property as a house (albeit quirky) rather than an apartment...it is set over three floors with one bedroom + lounge on the ground floor, a second bedroom + kitchen on the next and a chillout room + a sea facing roof terrace on the third. There is plenty of sitting out space and it is nicely located on a small leafy square in the old town.
We had a really relaxing stay and the house is comfortably furnished with a modern kitchen but no wifi or radio so we would take our own next time. It is within spitting distance of restaurants and shops and very quiet compared to other areas in Kalkan. The local keyholder was very helpful even though we didn't arrive until nearly midnight but we did have a problem ringing him and had to rely on Whatsapp courtesy of our daughter as we would never have coped with something so technically advanced!
The ground floor bedroom is more private with its own entrance via the adjoining lounge and we would opt for that next time as the first floor bedroom is an access route for the other one so unless your body clocks are synchronised you could be awake earlier than you intended. However this can easily be overcome by the ground floor bedroom using the 2nd entrance through the 1st floor exterior door to the kitchen - need to remember this next time.
All in all it was a perfect place to recharge our batteries and hopefully we will be back.
A fabulous old house with all modern amenities in the centre of the village
We have just returned from our holiday to Kalkan and our stay at this beautiful old house! What can we say?...we were delighted with the property, the description and pictures gave us an indication of the style and what to expect and I must say we were not disappointed!
The layout suited our family perfectly and the location of the house was far better than expected being so close to the town beach and restaurants for the evening...that said, you would not have thought you were so close to all the amenities as it was so quiet!
The house was spotlessly clean, with recently refurbished bathrooms and kitchen, which was fully equipped, for the odd occasion that we ate in.
Halis was very friendly and arranged the airport transfers for us and was also keen to make sure that everything was ok during our stay.
All in all, we would hope to return again in the future and would definitely recommend a stay at this house, a real gem!
Kate and Nick Bartlett
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in Kalkan, and that you liked the house, - it is a very special place, and we are lucky to have Halis managing it as he goes out of his way to help our guests.
