"Otto and Mayra Higueros, the uncle and niece owners, really understand that coffee isn't just a business and that it can be used as a tool to build something beautiful. All of our conversations were about the workers, the environment, the community, and the coffee. There's so much unrealized potential coffee can have when its vision encompasses the communities and neighbors next door.
About 60% of what they wet mill comes from their own land. This means that 40% of what they process comes in from smallholder farmers around their community. Finca La Union is using their platform and opening it up to surrounding community so that together they can all benefit. When Finca La Union receives better prices and opportunities, the community as a whole benefits. To keep this momentum moving forward, they've set really high standards in maturation, plant health education and maintenance, and in varietal selection. These standards help to promote good farming practices and good coffee which enables La Union to build good relationships with buyers. " -paraphrased, Ryan C of Yepocapa Coffee

Contacts: Kassa Harrison, Vice President of Harrison Home Systems (Golden, CO)
The most successful business partners tend to have very different, but complimentary, areas of strength. For Kassa and George Harrison, partners in both business and marriage, the idea that their individual talents might work well together seemed one worth capitalizing on from the start.
"I was doing his books even when we were dating," laughs Kassa, now Vice President of Harris Home Systems, a custom install operation in Golden, Colorado. "These days, I take care of the entire back office: marketing, purchasing, HR, you name it."
Kassa's organizational and marketing savvy was developed over years of owning and operating her own public relations firm in Denver. Once she and George decided to join forces, she closed up the PR shop and set about giving Harrison Home Systems an aesthetic overhaul, from the redesign of the company's logo to a new look on the website, www.hhsusa.com.

Amazon has removed 250 reviews from the book The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, authored by PJ Media reporter Matt Margolis. Margolis also wrote the foreword for my newly released book, Enemies: The Press vs. The American People.
What: Margolis wrote about the purge of the reviews on PJ Media, and said that not only were the reviews gone, but the book, which previously had a 4.5/5 star rating, dropped to 4.2/5 after the purge. He also described nearly 25 percent of the reviews of his book as "bogus" one-star reviews, attributing them left-wingers who never read the book, but simply targeted him because his book is anti-Obama.
"I hope this turns out to be a mistake on [Amazon's] end, but losing that many reviews overnight feels intentional and targeted," Margolis told The Rundown.
Why It Matters: Amazon has been on the slippery slope of censorship for some time. It banned British free-speech activist Tommy Robinson's book "Mohammed's Quran," which it deemed "inappropriate." Critics of the book called it "Islamophobic," a made up word used as a pejorative to silence anyone who criticizes radical Islam for its violence.
Meanwhile, Hitler's Mein Kampf is still available for purchase on the site.
Amazon is part of the Silicon Valley Big Tech machine, which has been working to silence conservatives for years, and has made itself the target of a Department of Justice anti-trust investigation.

The best way to preserve your stucco or masonry is to protect it from water damage.
Check for water damage around areas that are especially prone to leaks- this includes the roof, around the chimney, windows, doors, and the foundation. Water leaks can be very damaging to both masonry and stucco siding. They weaken the mortar that holds brick or stonework in place and can also cause the underlying wood framing to rot and loosen stucco.
Note: It is recommended that you hire a professional to handle repairs to stucco or masonry as an improper repair can lead to more damage.
Stucco walls should be strong and free of structural problems and cracks. When patching stucco, wet the underlying structure and lath, and only mix enough stucco to be used in 1.5 to 2 hours without over-mixing. To prevent the stucco from drying too fast (this can cause it to crack) remember to keep it damp or shaded. Also avoid overlapping the old stucco with the new coat- this can weaken the bond. Do not use commercial caulk to patch cracks. Hairline cracks may be sealed with a thin slurry coat (the final coat).
Check the mortar in your masonry regularly- if worn to depths of ¼ inch or more, or if many vertical cracks are present, the mortar should be replaced. Be aware that the mortar mixture must be just right or it will damage the brick or stone. Do not throw away brick or stone that isn't broken- remember, the goal is to preserve as much of the historic masonry or stucco as possible.
Maintenance Tips:
- Stucco siding can easily be cleaned using a power washer on low-pressure or a garden hose with a pressure sprayer attachment. Combine 2 gallons of hot water, a small amount of dish soap, a cup of washing soda, and a cup of borax. Always make sure to rinse well!
- Masonry should only be cleaned if absolutely necessary, as the cleaning can actually cause damage. If necessary, you can remove dirt from masonry by using a power washer with water on low to medium pressure. Take care to avoid damaging the brick or stonework. Use a diluted non-ionic detergent (available at the hardware store) and a soft brush on tough stains and rinse well.

Input Score
18 hole regulation length course
72 par | 8,092 yards | 138 slope
78.7 rating | Bermuda grass
Suggest Edit
The 18-hole "Fighting Joe" course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail At The Shoals facility in Muscle Shoals, Alabama features 8,092 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 78.7 and it has a slope rating of 138 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, ASGCA, the Fighting Joe golf course opened in 2004. SunBelt Golf Corporation manages this facility, with Will Fisher as the Director of Golf.
Not exaggerating- probably the best value in golf I have ever played....the $39/$44 rate is almost like stealing golf. This course is top notch in every way, from the tee boxes to the fairways to the bent greens. Every hole is unique, just an A+ layout. Do yourself a favor and go here if you haven't already.
Fighting Joe seemed to be the more popular course at the facility this day. I found it to be entertaining although not as scenic as Schoolmaster. One of the guys in the foursome liked the Joe better than Schoolmaster so it just depends on whether you like more traditional or more links style courses.
Had a 9:10 a.m. tee time on Oct. 1, 2010. After the first hole, we had to wait for every shot - didn't finish until nearly 2:30 p.m. Aside from the extremely slow round, everything was top notch.
The Shoals is the best of the RTJ facilities I have played. I preferred the Schoolmaster Course to the Fighting Joe Course but only because I prefer the traditional layout to a links layout. An absolute bargain during the summer months!
Beautiful course, I wish they would have used the Tennessee River into the scenery more other than the last hole. Friendly and knowledgable staff, nice clubhouse and the food is great.
Fighting Joe is a very good course. It's beautiful, well-kept, and very playable. Im a 3 handicap, drive 280 on average, and played the 7,126 yard tees... and it was pretty difficult. The course is so out in the open that the slightest breeze can turn into a 2-club wind in an instant. THE SHOALS, with JOE and the SCHOOLMASTER is worth the trip.
Great links course lots of challenges but fair. My wife likes the course also. I live 5 hrs from it and it's worth the trip a couple of times a year.
BY FAR the toughest course I have ever played from the tips, mainly because I had long to mid irons into par 4's . Great course for the price..... Oh yea, the 712 yard par 5, will test you

This is a collection of creation myths from throughout the world translated to Norwegian. It was lent to me by a relative who clearly wants me to engage in comparative-religion. This is understandable since we used to be Pagan in Norway before we were Christened by the sword; if you are a believer in universalism I guess it makes sense too.
Universalists, as I've come to understand it, think that we are all worshipping the exact same God, but that our different cultures have led us to interpret this deity in different ways.
This theory is refuted when looking at those cultures who worship multiple Gods, in addition to the story lines themselves…
All of the stories contained within this book are ethnocentric and location-based in nature. You would think that the book had been edited by members of the alt-right since the least race-conscious ideology is dethroned, while all others that are linked to blood-lines and ancestry are exalted.
What becomes obvious is that there are no "globalist religions." The closest you get is Christianity which appears unique and groundbreaking in offering a religion open to all regardless of race, ethnicity, location and/or socio-economic status.
Then again; the existence of Nations are acknowledged in the Bible and Christ will come back to judge all the Nations, which means that the abolishment of Nations is not part of the plan.
Yet Christianity comes across as the most inclusive of faiths when reading this book that was lent to me clearly as an act of undermining the status of Christianity.
In this my relative failed once again, mainly because of the fact that I've actually read the Holy Bible in full:
"The Old Testament" from the "Holy Bible."
"The New Testament" from the "Holy Bible."
If it was up to the book itself I wouldn't know anything about the Christian faith since the religion is represented by two lone quotes. One at the front and one at the back of the collection; that's all.
Based on that I would have concluded this entry by saying that Egyptian Sun-worship is what I enjoyed the most, since Christianity certainly doesn't come off as particularly groundbreaking or special in this context.
Much space is dedicated to all sorts of weird worship traditions completely foreign to the Norwegian people and our culture, with the exception of the Norse creation myth.
After realising the importance of racial/ethnic identity when it comes to religions a thought presented itself to me: what if we summon our ancestral Gods when we pray, regardless of who we think we are praying to?
What if each tribe can only access its God/s and this is completely pre-determined due to the "spirit-wifi"?
My personal favourites were out-takes from the following: Eskimos, The Finns, Native Hopi Americans, the Mayans, Sumerians and Muslims.
What is of interest is that a great number of the myths present the Big Bang theory in ancient wrapping displaying the longevity and widespread acceptance of this belief.
What I found interesting in the Norse creation myth (besides the obvious inspiration for Lord of The Rings) was that female and male Gods were to be seen as equals (at least according to this translation) and that poverty and injustice was lamented, just as in The Old Testament.
The reason as to why this is of great interest is that if old Jewish tribes and old Norse tribes were complaining about this back then, then what makes us think that inequality is a challenge that can ultimately be solved in our time?
When reading the Norse creation myth I saw parallels to Greek mythology as well, which was an interesting detail to note; some of these belief systems overlap in part, but not all of them.
In gender-egalitarianism the Norse myth proved itself unique since all of the other myths would fall under the sexism umbrella in today's socialist culture.
In the Japanese myth everything goes horribly wrong when a female deity speaks to the male deity first. Order is restored and creation can take place once the feminine submits to the masculine.
The African creation myth is certainly the most entertaining one concerning gender roles, since men and women are described as completely separate entities, and that the men are very puzzled when these alien creatures all of a sudden come into their villages helping themselves to their huts. The men are wondering why these women don't build their own homes and why they come and live-off the men. This instantly made me think of how women are described in Ancient Greek myths:
Ancient Greek Myths – The Universe, The Gods, And Mortals told by Jean-Pierre Vernant.
Liberalism is described as "an evil that has come upon us" (to paraphrase) in the Native American texts, which once again echos the laments of the prophets in The Old Testament.
Liberalism was clearly not seen as empowerment in ancient texts but rather as the act of demons and/or evil corrupting society.
The complaints from the people in the Buddhist myth also made me think of The Old Testament, where the Jewish people are reprimanded but repeatedly repeat past mistakes only to lament at the heavens again and again.
One of the myths that was of particular interest was the one from the Mayans. The Gods want to create a being that can worship them. They refer to it as the "human doll." They try repeatedly but fail and eventually it is said that the humans of today are linked to the monkeys!
The strangest myth of them all was the Kabbalah one. It only reminded me of the "illuminati confirmed" sketches on YouTube. Kabbalah is clearly trying to decode the Hebrew language in order to "hack the code," gaining access to the assumed programming language of God.
Creation myths are becoming increasingly valid and intriguing when observing our own creation of artificial intelligence and advanced machinery, not that it can surpass what has already been created, but it certainly puts our favourite habit of mimicry into perspective.
Some of the texts were quite boring but I forced myself to read them since reading for pleasure isn't really my number one reason for doing so.
I read out of curiosity and I also have a policy of reading the books that end up in my possession so that I don't end up with piles of books that are only for show. This has led me to some horrible reading experiences, but it has also introduced me to different perspectives and stories that I wouldn't normally have been exposed to.
Reading fiction for example is something that I seldom do. I'm intrigued by works that can either help me or enlighten my curiosity in one way or another, and interestingly enough this has led to inspiration for artistic projects as well.

Sugar and emeralds
Whereas teams are known by their colors in South America, other criteria are used in the CONCACAF zone. The nicknames of teams from the Caribbean are influenced by the area's most famous national side, the "Reggae Boyz" of Jamaica, whose name is a tribute to the music that Bob Marley exported from his native land to the rest of the world.
This has led to the christening of Antigua and Barduba as the "Wadadli Boyz" (Wadadli being a dance), whereas the Bahamas are known as the "Rake and Scrape Boyz" and Bermuda call themselves the "Gombey Warriors", also in honor of traditional dances. Famous for its spices, Grenada is the to the "Spice Boys", St Kitts and Nevis are the "Sugar Boyz" and last but not least, Trinidad and Tobago are the "Soca Warriors" (soca being a musical genre hailing from these islands).
Not far from the Caribbean, the national football teams of Central America have adopted the nicknames used to describe their countries' inhabitants, hence "los Ticos" of Costa Rica, "los Cuscatlecos" or "Guanacos" of El Salvador, "los Chapines" of Guatemala, "los Catrachos" of Honduras, "los Pinoleros" of Nicaragua, "los Canaleros" of Panama and "los Quisueyanos" of the Dominican Republic.

SPA calls for broadcasters to invest more in local content
Screen Producers Australia CEO Matthew Deaner has argued that any reduction in free-to-air broadcasters' license fees must see a commensurate increase in investment in diverse local content.
"There is no denying the crucial role that free-to-air commercial television plays in underwriting the production of local content. Their level of investment is unparalleled when compared to other platforms. We also recognise that the free-to-air broadcasters are subject to a regulatory regime which does not apply to emerging platforms in the video on demand space," Deaner said.
"However, the investment in drama, documentary and children's production by commercial free-to-air television is around $160 million annually, less than half that spent by these broadcasters on sports.
"Screen Producers Australia is supportive of a reduction in licence fee requirements, given the increased pressure upon commercial free-to-air television particularly from video on demand but only if these reductions did not free up revenue that then facilitated a sports rights arms race at the expense of local content diversity – diversity that is clearly in the public interest. After all, there is still an obligation that commercial free-to-air television should continue to carry given its privileged and protected position in the market."
Deaner noted that a recent statement by Free TV Australia supported this view, with Free TV Australia agreeing that 'many components of the regulatory regime are important, including obligations and commitments around local content and sports.'
"From anti-siphoning to sub-quota obligations, there has historically been a delicate balance of Government regulation and interventions to ensure that commercial free-to-air television investments in local production are wide ranging, across low cost per hour genres like news and current affairs to higher cost content like documentaries and drama," Mr Deaner said
"In a challenging advertising market and with increased pressure, it is understandable that the industry will need to reflect on the regulatory regime going forward and to consider in what areas there may need to be more flexibility. However, this must be done with caution so as not to upset the careful balance that has ensured that there has been significant investment in local content by commercial free to air networks and great Australian stories to be enjoyed by Australian audiences."
Deaner said that in Australia, like many other markets, there has been a great deal of speculation about the commissioning opportunities from video on demand services such as Netflix.
"However, their commissions remain largely focused on North America. Whilst this may broaden in time, the contribution made to local production by video on demand services is insignificant when compared to the more than $2 billion spent by free-to-air commercial and subscription television."
The most recent data reported by Free TV Australia and Australian Communications and Media Authority shows that expenditure on local content is increasing on commercial free-to-air television. However, of this, just one percent of local production is spent on documentaries and nine percent on drama. By comparison, 28% is spent on sports.
"In real dollar terms, the level of annual expenditure by commercial free-to-air television in sports increased by 23% whilst expenditure in drama fell by 6% between 2010/11 to 2012/13," Mr Deaner said.
"It's clear that sports rights, both the coverage and halo effect, has proven to be critical in the free-to-air broadcasting business model, but many in the industry are suggesting the cost is becoming almost untenable. As the major sports codes continue to negotiate upwards, we must ensure that audiences don't lose out on access to new local drama, documentary and children's programing.
"The Gillard Government gifted the commercial free-to-air sector stronger protections and greater regulatory flexibility in their 2013 reforms but they missed an opportunity to marry the licence fee reductions to an obligation to invest in diverse local content. As the Abbott Government considers further relaxations and reductions we urge them to assess the wider impacts.
"The independent production sector also contributes a positive return to the Australian economy by employing thousands of Australians and returning millions in trade to the economy through investment in content, businesses and format sales. Our content is internationally respected, delivering far-reaching outcomes from tourism to diplomacy. Government interventions in the screen industry are critical to maintaining these local and international cultural and commercial objectives."

Attached images shows vectorscope view on RGB parade view and when I am switching between the other graphs, same vectoscope view stays visible. Application re-start helps sometimes but this same issues come back after that.
It would be useful to have floating panels - both in the desktop and iPad versions of AP - for some features. For example, the Scopes panels - and indeed regarding scopes would it not be helpful to also be able to see more than one scope at a time? If the panels could be individually floated, then it should be possible to do this, so that one could have, for example, an RGB parade and a Vectorscope visible or even a Curves and a Vectorscope simultaneously. The panels could be pinned to parts of the screen as the user wished. It is possible that this could become confusing however - as sometimes happens with GIMP if many tools are used. In the iPad version of AP it seems awkward to have only one tool "out" at any one time - and floating panels could overcome this.
It would be great to have global clipping warnings inside of the regular Photo persona. Photoshop has implemented clipping warning overlays as part of a few tools, such as Levels and Curves, but it won't for instance help you when you are trying to use the dodge and burn tools to get a pure white or pure black background and other workflows. Since I assume that this is already planned as part of the Curves and Levels improvements on the roadmap, I would suggest to make it a view option, accessible either from the View menu or in the Histogram/Scopes panels that can be used at any time, with any of the tools available instead of adding it only to two or meticulously adding it to all sorts of adjustments manually. Holding Option inside Levels/Curves and on the Luminosity slider in HSL adjustments, Black&White etc. would then temporary toggle that option to the opposite of its current setting (i.e. on when it's off and off when it's on). Video cameras often implement the overlay as a zebra pattern, and you can customize the threshold at which it shows up. That's actually a useful workflow for other areas as well. For instance, you could have your clipping warnings at 95% if you wanted to see which areas are reaching a range that while they might not be clipped, would not show detail when offset printing the image. A preference to animate a zebra pattern inside the clipping warning, like the marching ants of selections do, would also make it help stand out when the image is visually very similar to the overlay pattern.

TelevisionInfo's Weekly Roundup
A new top-ranked TV, a great mid-tier model, and why contrast ratio matters
Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewed's editors. Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission.
It was only a few weeks ago that we were raving about Samsung's F8500 plasma TV: It was our highest-scoring television to date, plus we really enjoyed its company. This week, we reviewed Panasonic's VT60 plasma TV, and it swept us off our feet. This latest flagship from Panasonic—there exists a ZT60, which is technically more advanced, but that's like a super flagship—is an absolute knockout when it comes to picture quality, and as such, is our newest top-ranked television.
We also reviewed Samsung's F5000 LED TV, which is a non-smart, non-3D offering from the company—refreshing, right? Even better, it's a pretty good mid-tier television, if you can forgive its narrow viewing angle.
As far as non-reviews go, resident videophile Lee Neikirk went in-depth on a topic near and dear to our plasma-infused hearts: contrast ratio. We also hooked you up with some nifty Mother's Day gift ideas, plus we found out about new, cheaper fiber-optic internet options.
The Panasonic VT60 Review: Revisited
Panasonic invited us to check out its non-limited edition flagship, the VT60, a couple months back. We did some basic tests and were thoroughly impressed. Fast-forward to this week, when we finally had the chance to properly review this high-powered plasma. The VT60 tested with the highest contrast ratio we've ever seen; superb color accuracy; a near-perfect viewing angle; and impressive motion performance. Go ahead, read our review and prepare to update your Christmas list.
We also debuted a new feature, where we go hands-on and eyes-on with a TV: no testing, just our impressions of how it looks while displaying an assortment of content. Panasonic's VT60 also impressed here—Lee was in heaven watching The Fifth Element for the 100th time. If you want to borrow my copy of Avatar, just ask.
The Samsung F5000 Review
Maybe you don't have an extra $3,000 to spend on Panasonic's VT60. Here's a little secret: You can still get a good TV without spending a fortune. Crazy, right? Let's keep this between us.
Samsung's F5000 is one of these "good" televisions. It's the most high-end of Samsung's non-smart, non-3D LED displays, and will only set you back about $780 for a 46-inch model. Review-pioneer and all-around class act Virginia was impressed with the F5000's results: great color accuracy, excellent contrast, and reasonable motion performance. If only its viewing angle wasn't so lousy.
Contrast Ratio: More Than Meets the Eye
Protip: To calculate a TV's contrast ratio, take its peak brightness and divide by its deepest black level. Simple, right? As Lee explains, there is more to contrast ratio than big numbers and bragging rights. How does a TV's contrast actually make the picture better? I won't spoil the article for you—go read it!
Give the Gift of Subscription: Ideas for Streaming Mom's Media Life
Mother's Day is almost upon us. While you could surprise Mommy Dearest with diamonds or even a new Mustang, you could also bring her hours of joy with a subscription to Netflix or Hulu Plus. If you really want to be an outstanding son or daughter—or if you just want to one-up your sibling(s)—get her a smart TV to streamline the whole... streaming process.
Super-Fast Gigabit Internet Competition Heats Up
We all hate a slow internet connection, especially when it completely ruins the experience of a smart TV. Google has been making headlines in recent months with its fiber-optic internet technology, but now smaller companies are getting in on the excitement. And the best part? These smaller companies want to give you blazing-fast internet cheaper than Google. Sounds like a happy ending to me.

The Saudi English daily newspaper Arab News blasted the Qatari based news channel Al Jazeera Wednesday [August 14] in an editorial that accused the news channel of ruining relations between Arab states.
The Saudi English daily newspaper Arab News blasted the Qatari based news channel Al Jazeera Wednesday [August 14] in an editorial that accused the news channel of ruining relations between Arab states. Abdullah Farraj Al Sharif, wrote in his opinion piece titled, 'Misusing freedom of expression' that the news channel dishes out "wild lies and prevarications" and that its shows "spew hatred and hostility all around." Al Jazeera has been in the spotlight in the last three months as a result of the show 'Al Itijah Al Muakis' or 'Opposite Directions', which usually includes Arab dissidents as participants and addresses highly controversial and politically sensitive issues. Although Al Sharif did not specify a programme in his hard hitting editorial he did say, "The station chooses guests with dubious qualifications to participate in what is arguably the worst kind of talk show." Al Sharif accused Al Jazeera of hurting Arab interests and being biased in its reporting, alleging that the station is not objective in its reporting. "It [Al Jazeera] aims at the total surrender of all Arab interests to American policies. The station seems to follow a skilfully devised scheme, which is much worse than either covert or overt Zionist schemes, to deprive Arabs of all their legitimate rights…If the station is impartial in its treatment, one wonders why it never discusses the state of affairs in Qatar. Is Qatar an ideal and infallible state while all other Arab states and governments and countries deserve to be condemned?"The Saudi Arabic daily newspaper, Al Watan publicly attacked [July 29,2002] Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr al-Thani.The attack came after Saudi newspapers on July 20 called on Qatar to "reconsider its policies." Al Watan, a controversial Saudi paper, went further, calling the Qatari foreign minister a "dwarf" and a "smart aleck boy", and accusing him of openly dealing with Israel. Saudi papers went into action after the government took offence when a talk show, including Saudi dissident Mohsen al Awaji, criticised Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's Middle East peace initiative, which attempted to put a halt to the escalation of violence between Palestinians and Israel in March and April 2002.Jordan became the third Arab state in the last three months to take action against the news channel for airing shows that are controversial and cover politically-sensitive issues. Meanwhile Bahrain banned the Qatari based Al Jazeera network in May 2002 from covering municipal elections labelling it as "serving Zionism." Ibrahim Mahmoud Hilal head of editorial at Al Jazeera and managing director Mohamed Jasim Al Ali did not return ITP.net's phone calls.

"We have not found that being a student-athlete pushes a student towards a specific major," committee chairwoman Joy Renner said. "It's more that it limits the times of day that they can take classes because of practices, and that is what we're looking at."
Renner said they are looking at time commitment data in order to open up more academic opportunities for athletes.
In the past few years, there has been an increase in athletes majoring in business administration and a decline in athletes majoring in communication studies. Paul Friga, a committee member who teaches business, said athletes have said they felt understood by faculty at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
The University monitors clustering of student-athletes to detect whether there are patterns of athletes taking specific classes.

Rose Open Day Follow-up
Rose Open Day on Saturday brought sunshine after rain all night. This meant the petals glistened with raindrops and the roses turned up their faces to the sun for a light spray tan. Lots of people made the journey to see us, several florist and event organisers all the way from London - which is always so nice because we can put a face to a voice, and they can see what we really do, and better that, smell the unique unbottled fragrance of the true English rose. I had a funny little insert in Radio Essex's morning show with somebody called Timbo (not his real name apparently) which brought some people running in from their Saturday shopping; Binny and Edward Reily Collins came all the way from Wiltshire to find roses for their daughter's August wedding, and the architect of our house, Quinlan Terry, brought his wife Christine and friends to admire both house and garden!
Rufus Griffin, aged six, took a massive fleece-covered hammer to our Tibetan gong so the Stour Valley resounded to the echoing boom created to call Tibetan monks to prayer in the mountains of Nepal – in this case this son of a soldier beat the retreat to alert our guests and clients to the raffle and its prizes. First prize, a magnificent bouquet of red and purple roses went to one of our florist customers and the second prize to one of our neighbours Michael Stevens. Money was raised from the cream teas, roses and home-made jams for the NSPCC and altogether a delicious English summer Saturday was had by all.
A successful day I feel, thanks to a loyal team a fine spirit and thousands of roses!

MBA Formación is located in Torrox-Costa. Torrox has a privileged situation on the Costa del Sol, in the province of Malaga, surrounded by such villages and towns as Competa, Frigiliana, Nerja and its caves… and cities like Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Marbella, Ronda, etc. The school also organizes guided trips and excursions in order to visit representative places and monuments in all these places.
To organize our Spanish lessons, they start on students' previous knowledge. In order to achieve it, an initial evaluation test will be performed, so our teachers can adapt the schedule to our students' knowledge. Our teaching method consists on a complete immersion in Spanish culture and traditions and our native teachers have updated knowledge on all these topics.
Torrox's geographical situation allows our visitors to enjoy our magnificent mountains and beaches almost at the same time. Our spectacular sunsets are unforgettable.
Our installations are located on a privileged place in Torrox-Costa, approximately 50 metres away from the beach, so our students can enjoy sunny evening walks, our sandy beaches and our traditional food at the seafront restaurants.
Scientific research studies prove that Torrox has the best weather in Europe.
Students cannot only take Spanish lessons, but also perform other activities such as water sports, trekking, tennis, golf, paddle, flamenco, salsa, trips, cultural journeys, theatrical performances, musicals and shows.
We also organize and elaborate packages adapted to our students' necessities and motivations. We work on a friendly and warm atmosphere and our motto is: "Funciona en la medida que lo disfrutas" (It works to the extent that you enjoy it).
In order to organize our Spanish lessons, we start on the students' previous knowledge, so our students will perform an initial assessment test which will allow our teachers to check their level of Spanish in order to adapt the lessons to their abilities, capacities, and knowledge. Our full immersion method focuses on Spanish culture and traditions, and our native teachers have updated knowledge on all these topics.

A mouth full of metal isn't exactly an appealing alternative to crooked, misaligned teeth. You can say no to both. Integrity Dental of Greenwich offers Invisalign® teeth straightening, a clear unnoticeable alternative to traditional braces, to the community of Greenwich, Connecticut. If you want to straighten out your smile without the unsightly appearance of metal braces, call Integrity Dental of Greenwich or book an appointment online today.
Invisalign is a revolutionary new way to straighten teeth, offering an appealing alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments like braces. With Invisalign, clear plastic aligners fitted over your teeth straighten your teeth little by little over time.
It's best to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day. They can be removed for easy eating and teeth cleaning. Wear the Invisalign aligners any time you are not eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth – that includes while you sleep at night.
Because Invisalign is so comfortable and easy to use, it is becoming a more and more popular way to straighten teeth, particularly with young adults. Invisalign offers the following benefits over braces or other traditional orthodontic approaches:
Invisalign is proven effective to treat mild to moderate dental misalignments, including:
If you have major orthodontic and alignment issues, your dentist could recommend a different treatment alternative. To see if Invisalign is the best option for you, visit Integrity Dental of Greenwich for a consultation.
Your dentist will start by examining your teeth to check that Invisalign is the right choice for you. They might either make physical impressions of your teeth or create 3D images using a digital scanner. Your dentist will use these impressions or images to develop a unique treatment plan for you.
After that, your dentist will fit customized plastic aligners to your teeth. While you wear them, the aligners gradually push your teeth where they are supposed to go. As your teeth begin to shift, new aligners are made. This process continues until your smile is just right.
Depending on the severity of your alignment issues, Invisalign might not be the most effective method of straightening your teeth. Fortunately, the team at Integrity Dental of Greenwich works closely with the top orthodontists in Greenwich should more complex treatment be needed.
If you want to straighten your teeth without unsightly metal braces, talk to the team at Integrity Dental of Greenwich about Invisalign by calling the office or booking an appointment online today.

This evening(September 12th) in Toronto, Canada, Hilary Swank and Taissa Farmiga hit the red carpet for the premiere of 'What They Had' during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall.
Hilary Swank wore a PRADA black floor length gown, featuring a beaded fringe bodice with a twist, detail v-neckline and a cutout back. The fringe detail provides movement while the cutouts adds a flirty detail. While her look doesn't excite, she does look lovely. BIRKS jewelry, a black clutch, a pinned up-do and pink lips rounded out her look.
Taissa Farmiga opted for a MIU MIU navy strapless, silk-chiffon plissé gown which was adorned with a black beaded flower on the bodice. While this gown is giving me deja vu, Taissa still looks beautiful. Playing off of the gowns, hue, she went with a matching smokey eye but I think the eyes should have been softer. A part braid and matching blue stone drop earrings.

41 Day 251 – If I Could Look Upon This Scene.
If I could look upon a single scene everyday for the rest of my life I would choose this place, Wast Water, high in the fells of the Lake District. Wast water is a remote area of stunning beauty, I use the word stunning as that is the feeling you have upon first casting your eyes on this place. I remember so well driving through the lanes as they became smaller and more uneven, cattle grids interrupting the drive and the sensation that your wing mirrors were so close to the dry stone walls, that the slightest deviation from the centre of the road would lead to certain removal of said mirrrors! But, that moment when I drove over another cattle grid and passed the National Trust sign for Wast Water I took such a gasp of breath and promptly stopped the car, walked several paces and simply stood in awe at the view before me . The sheer height of the scree covered slopes rising almost vertically from the deepest darkest waters to touch the crystal skies, the contrast to the flat grassy outcrops manicured by the weather, the far shores framed by the rising majesty of Kirk fell, Red Pike, Great Gable and of course the most celebrated of Lakeland peaks Scafell Pike, Englands highest mountain. No written word could convey that feeling on that day in that place. Beauty yet a sense of foreboding combined in a single landscape, pleasure and pain await the cocky conqueror of its peaks, a place where first you loose your breath and then your heart.

Madonna putting a pause on music to work on her film "W.E."
Madonna is everyone's favorite pop star. She just had an episode on "Glee" that she called "brilliant" that featured many of her top hits. It was such a success that the producers are even thinking about doing a follow up Madonna episode in the future, and we couldn't be more excited at the possibility of that. In addition, she is gearing up for her new film "W.E." in which she co-wrote and will direct.
She recently sat down with director Gus Van Sant in and interview for Interview Magazine to discuss her upcoming film, her music and what her future looks like. In regards to the upcoming film she stated, "Yeah, the movie everyone thinks I'm making that's supposed to be a musical about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. I don't know why that got in the newspapers. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor are in the movie, but it's not going to be about them. It's really about this other woman's journey, and the duchess is kind of her spiritual guide." She continued, "I've been writing it for the last two and a half years, to tell you the truth. It's been kind of an obsession of mine. I started writing it when I finished filming Filth and Wisdom. It was actually an idea I had before that, but I made Filth and Wisdom because I realized that I didn't really have a right to make a bigger film until I made a smaller film-and learned how to make a film."
When it comes to how she is going to juggle the film and her music career, she says, "I don't have a record deal right now with anybody. I don't know how I'm going to get my music out the next time I make a record. I'm going to have to reinvent the wheel. I haven't really been focused as much as I should be on the music part of my career because this movie has just consumed every inch of me. Between that and my four children, I don't have the time or the energy for anything else. For example, I do appreciate that lots of people worked long and hard putting together things like the DVD of the Sticky & Sweet tour that we just released, and I have seen the finished product, but I have got no idea how people are going to find out about it or how it's going to be sold."

Stuck on Stupid
The bond market went up, now it's down (hard), but we continue to trade fairly narrowly between 4.15 and 4.3. That means 30-year rates under 6%, which is all anyone really cares about.
Sorry, but I don't care much about any of that today.
On to other things.
Random thoughts:
Saturday I ran a 5k in 29:34, my best time ever. Two months ago I couldn't run an entire 5k. Then Tuesday I ran a mile in 7:26.57 (two months ago I broke 10 minutes and was thrilled). I don't seem to be able to cut that last 15 pounds off, but it's nice to know that there have been some improvements. Maybe next 5k I can beat my pregnant wife (29:22) or my 11-year-old son (28:15). A guy can dream.
Best line of the new millennium: "You're stuck on stupid. I'm not going to answer that question." – Gen Honore, to a reporter at a press conference in New Orleans.
Utah survived against Air Force despite absolutely quitting at the end of the game. On one play, an Air Force receiver caught a pass over the middle and was trailed for almost 30 yards by a Ute defender who was just jogging along. Coach Whittingham laid into the kid, who walked away down the sideline. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a BAD sign. Well, it is if you're a Ute fan, but then if you are, you get what you deserve.
BYU is going to beat TCU this weekend. It will be relatively close, say, 10-14 points, but the Cougars will win.
The Yankees are going to lose 2 of 3 this weekend and end up tied with the Red Sox going into the last week of the season. I'll make a new prediction then.
We're in the process of doing a loan for a fellow that is currently in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. And it looks like the loan will go. We are also doing a construction loan for another client – nothing down, no income documentation, and non-owner-occupied. Our new motto is "Remember, this is impossible, but we'll do it anyway." This stuff is why.
The New Orleans refugees went from the Superdome to the Astrodome. If Rita destroys the Astrodome, where do they go next? The Kingdome? The Metrodome? Thunderdome?
Inc Magazine has a very good article on The Wisdom of Crowds, which is sitting here on my desk and which I have recommended before.
I bought a TV-tuner/video capture card for my PC the other day, and it now appears that with the addition of this $30 piece of hardware and a $30 DVD-authoring program I can use my PC as a TiVo – only I can not only record programs, I can burn them onto DVDs for permanent storage. I can record all my old home movies and get them onto permanent media. I can get rid of all my old VHS tapes, some of which are so old they will not last another 5 years. Great stuff, technology.
Jen King Harris's family is from Corpus Christi, so if you are a praying person (and I recommend it), would you please offer up a prayer for the King's down in southern Texas? We'll give you updates through the weekend on how they're doing.
Speaking of which, have a good one.

'Our Players Can Compete With World's Best'
Yushae DeSilva-Andrade, Steve Wilson and Omar Hayward have concluded competing in the BISFed 2018 World Boccia Championships in England, with Bermuda's coach noting that the "athletes have shown tremendous dedication to training" and "have shown they can certainly compete with the world's best."
Bermuda Boccia Coach Troy Farnsworth said, "Yushae played her final game yesterday narrowly losing 3-2 to World Number 9 Nelson Fernandez from Portugal.
"Yushae played some great boccia and was unlucky not to come away with the win. Unfortunately none of our players progressed to round of 16. However our players have shown they can certainly compete with the world's best.
"Many of the games they played were close and other countries are now taking note of Bermuda. I am very proud of our performance as the athletes have shown tremendous dedication to training in the lead up to this competition [training 15 hours a week] and the hard work is paying off.
"I am also extremely grateful to all volunteers who help train our athletes on a weekly basis and those who work behind the scenes to coordinate getting our athletes to competitions. I would also like the thank the Bermuda Paralympic Association for their support in assisting our team compete at this major competition."

text: Independence in making the training materials is a big plus for the trainers. For they know what to include, what to exclude, what to illustrate, what to corroborate, what to present in language, what to present in graphics and the like.It is indeed a blessing if a trainer gets an opportunity to hand pick contents for his training sessions, starting from the actual contents, their sources, personalization and adaptation strategies to be adopted, simplication of the contents and to which extent,presentations of the manual(soft or the hard form or even both),the delivery plan, session and lesson plan, activities etc. This would provide the sync needed to make the training more effective from the perspective of the trainees. However, providing complete independence sans any responsibilties, authorities, that too without periodic monitoring especially in a system which is more public, than private, calls for checks and balances. Absence of these filters makes the training system a polluted one as everyone tries to put forth his/her own expertise, thereby hampering the interest of the end-user.

Dog backpack - what is it? Another fashion accessory or a really useful thing. The benefits of such a thing are not exaggerated. A backpack can be a useful purchase for a dog if it often travels with you. Or you are the owner of a small chihuahua, for example, and you need a bag to make the baby feel more comfortable. We thought about the benefits and features of such products in our dog backpacks review by Pet Store. About the benefits of a backpack Let's reason logically. A backpack for dogs of large and medium breeds is a perfectly acceptable and convenient thing for the owner. So, going on a long walk, you can put some things in your backpack or bag: your favorite toys, some water, bedding, a couple of sandwiches, but whatever your heart desires. Perhaps a miniature backpack can beRead More

Tata Consultancy Service launches new blockchain DevKit to accelerate smart contract creation
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the IT arm of Tata Group, has announced the launching of a new blockchain DevKit that accelerates smart contract creation by 40%.
Tue, 17 Dec 2019, 11:38 am UTC
India-based Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced the launching of its new blockchain developer kit that aims to help enterprises in creating blockchain apps on any blockchain platform. Called the Quartz DevKit, TCS claims that this solution will allow programmers to create smart contracts 40% faster, a press release revealed.
The DevKit's features include pre-built templates for platform setup, security authentication, node, encryption, administration and deployment, and identity and user management. All of these features help with the acceleration of creating blockchain apps for businesses that are trying to leverage the technology's advantages.
Developers can create their blockchain apps on top of their preferred blockchain platform including Ethereum, R3 Corda, and Hyperledger Fabric. R Vivekanand, global Head of Quartz at TCS, said that their effort into streamlining industry operations through this emerging innovation has been met with positivity so far, with plans to expand the DevKit in the future.
"Many of our customers, across industries, are leveraging blockchain technology to establish frictionless transactions across their extended ecosystem. We developed the Quartz DevKit to help their teams rapidly put together high-quality pilots using smart contracts on any platform with reduced coding effort. We have received very positive feedback from our pilot customers, and are pleased to make the DevKit available for use at scale," Vivekanand.
India's blockchain adoption
This maneuver will no doubt penetrate the government sector as the technology is deemed to be a great solution to expedite the operations of various agencies. However, India is still trying to work out a reliable legal framework to oversee the nascent technology.
In late November, Minister of State for Electronics and IT (MeitY) Sanjay Dhotre announced that they've already started on creating a blockchain strategy to adopt the innovation for cybersecurity, government sectors, and the financial industry. Additionally, policymakers are also drafting separate regulations for Artificial Intelligence.
"We are working on separate policies on blockchain and AI. The AI policy is going to be perhaps the world's first policy addressing safe and ethical use of AI," said Santosh Misra, CEO of the state's e-Governance Agency. "No state or country has announced a standalone policy to address the safety and ethics associated with AI, and we have no precedent for it."

RV Awning Repair - Removing the Torsion Assembly
RV awning repair can be quite a challenging job especially when the problem is on the torsion assembly. The torsion assembly of your RV awning consists of the cam lock mechanism, the spring and end lock that are held to the awning by two rivets. The torsion assembly needs to be removed from its place before you can repair it. To remove the torsion assembly and repair your RV awning, here is what you should do.
Step 1 – Locate the Torsion Assembly
The torsion assembly is located at the tube of the awning and held in place by two rivets. To remove the torsion assembly, you need to release the spring and drill out the rivets.
Step 2 – Release the spring
The spring on your RV awning packs considerable amount of tension so you need to be extra careful when removing it. To control the spring tension, clamp a strong pair of vice grips unto the awning arm. You may put rubber lining or rubber inner tube on the jaws of the vice grip to prevent it from scratching the metal when you release the spring. Once the vice grip is securely in place, push the spring firmly with your gloved hand and release the cotter pin that is holding the spring in place. Keep your hand on the spring as you release the cotter pin and do not let do suddenly or the spring might pop up and damage the fabric of your RV awning. To release the tension from the spring, allow the spring to unwind slowly by easing the pressure of your hand on top of it.
Step 2 – Drill Out the Rivets
After releasing the spring on your RV awning, you may now work on removing the rivets. Before you attempt to drill the rivets out, mark their locations first to may it easier for you to reassemble the torsion latter on. To drill out the rivets that are holding the torsion assembly, use a 1/8" drill bit. If the rivets are corroded, put some lubricant on the rivets then tap the rivets one by one to loosen them up. After loosening the corrosion that binds the rivets to the metal of the RV awning, drill the rivets out one by one. After drilling the out, you may now remove the end cap and the cam lock mechanism.
Step 3 – Remove the End Cap and the Cam Lock Mechanism
The end cap and the cam lock mechanism are attached to the torsion shaft with pins. To remover the end cap, drive out the pin using a hammer and a punch. Be careful not to drive the pins too hard or you might cause damage on the torsion. If the pins are corroded, put some lubricant on the pins and let it stand for about an hour before you attempt to drive them out with your hammer and punch. Be careful not to hit the cam lock mechanism when you drive the pins out of the end cap.

Kevin Kwan, the author of the book turned award-winning movie Crazy Rich Asians, is coming out with a TV show, and it looks like it just found its lead. Announced a few days ago, newcomer Max Willems is set to play the titular role for Emperor of Malibu.
Preview first learned that Kevin and co-writer David Sangalli were working on the show two years ago, when the writers themselves attended the Preview Girls Book Club for Crazy Rich Asians. The romantic-comedy series will follow "Auggie (Max), an environmental lawyer and son of a Chinese tech billionaire who announces his engagement to an American woman—and is terrified of how his parents will react to the news."
A fresh new face from Thailand, it looks like Max has all the makings to become the internet's newest boyfriend if the show's network, CBS, picks up the pilot for a full series. Max will be joining the The Hangvover star and comedian Ken Jeong, and Tony award-winner Deborah S. Craig, who are both set to play his wealthy billionaire parents.
Fingers crossed Kevin's new exciting venture on the silver screen bears fruit for more accurate quality Asian representation in Hollywood.

WORCESTER -- Dr. Michael F. Collins, chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, will speak to the Worcester Economic Club Jan. 29 at the College of the Holy Cross.
Dr. Collins, a physician in internal medicine, was previously chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Before that, he was president and chief executive of Caritas Christi Health Care, the Catholic health care system for the archdiocese of Boston.
BOSTON � Gasoline prices in Massachusetts dropped for the 15th consecutive week to their lowest level in nearly five years.
AAA Southern New England reported yesterday that a gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded fell 3 cents to an average of $1.62. The last time prices were this low was in January 2004. Last December, the price of gas averaged $3.03 per gallon. (The Associated Press)
Abbott Laboratories is being sued in Texas by Bayer AG�s HealthCare unit, which demands royalties on Abbott�s top-selling product, the arthritis drug Humira.
Bayer, Germany�s largest drugmaker and the inventor of aspirin, claims in a Dec. 24 lawsuit that the drug violates its patent issued in 1997 for antibodies against tumor necrosis factor, or TNF, an immune cell protein that is linked to inflammation. The Leverkusen, Germany-based company doesn�t ask to halt sales of Humira.
Humira generated $1.2 billion in third-quarter sales, up 50 percent from the-year ago period. Abbott, of Abbott Park, Ill., is the parent company of Abbott Bioresearch Center of Worcester, which helped develop Humira. �Humira does not infringe Bayer�s patent and Abbott believes that Bayer�s patent is invalid,� said Scott Stoffel, an Abbott spokesman. �We will vigorously defend against this lawsuit.�
This isn�t the first time a rival drugmaker has claimed credit for Humira and demanded royalties. Johnson & Johnson�s Centocor unit, which makes the Remicade arthritis drug, and New York University contend the medicine also uses patented technology developed at the school and licensed to Centocor. (Bloomberg News)

Full bio
"The Kitchen Window" is a series of modern still life photography with the work of the Dutch Renaissance painters in mind and the household items handed down to me from generations of Dutch women in my family. I arrange and photograph flowers from my own garden and surrounding community to emphasize the diversity and beauty of the world around us. The flowers and garden specimens are collected based on when they bloom and ripen together; I rely on what I can pick with my own hands as much as possible.
The birds that accompany the flora in my photographs reflect the season as well. In the Spring many songbirds migrate through my city and lose their lives when they collide with the tall office buildings. I work closely with an Ornithologist who researches and collects these songbirds, and I have included them in the images with the flowers that are blooming at the time of the birds' migration. I take my photographs using one window in my home for its natural light, in order to illuminate the fragility of the petals in the arrangements, or the feathers of the fallen birds. In other photographs I use natural elements such a skulls, feathers, eggs, nests, foraged mushrooms, and insects. In this sense I am both working with the natural order of the world and imposing my own order on it as I arrange nature's gifts to suit my art.
Vermeer was an innkeeper and the father of 11 children and painted in one room within his own house. Just as he worked within the domestic context that surrounded him, I have taken as my subject the life that is right in front of me. My past and my heritage are in a sense given new life in Canada, the country where my grandparents settled. In this sense I create photographs that are neither old or new, neither local or international. The composition and the lighting are the same as the old masters painted in the 17th century, but the subject matter is fresh from my garden in a new country.
"The Kitchen Window" is a series about the cycle of nature as it happens around us. It is about living in one place when your roots are in another continent. It is about the domestic life that reflects the lives that have passed and the art that is made generation after generation.
Kristin Sjaarda is an avid gardener living in Toronto, Canada with her photographer husband and their three boys.

bring it onif i hold a fondness for an author and they come out with a new book i'm all for it. if said book is 848 pages long... even better. i tend to devour books like a good curry so the longer they last the happier i am. do not be afraid.
I respect John Irving a lot, but I have to admit a sense of doom upon learning that this book is 848 pages long. I guess 848-page books make great weapons, and if you bring one on a long airplane ride there is little chance of finishing it too early. Other than that, I really can't see why good novelists are so often attracted to the super-long format. I'd like to hear where you stand on this: do you prefer massively thick books, or not? And what are the chances of you picking up this latest Irving tome, once it's out?
yup, totally agree. And you may go by the 50 pages rule - if you don't like the book after 50 pages (or 40, 30, 10, 1), you're allowed to stop reading it and no guilt may be felt.
Hey, I do a variation of that, except I call it the 50 words rule.
lol 50 words?!! Gods give an author a break, why don't you ;-)I'll have to agree with the 50 page rule...especially if it's an 848 page long one.
I think ...A well known-author like John Irving can get away with an 848 page book. He might lose a few casual fans, but die-hards are going to read whatever he writes, and might even be ecstatic to have 848 pages of Irving-ey goodness to devour.Last year I read Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon pre-quel trilogy as each books was published at close to or over 1,000 pages each, and I didn't really mind, though each could have been much shorter with some editing. But I like his storytelling, so.I have no idea though, why a first time author would write a book over 300 pages. Who is really going to want to put in the time required to read a 500 page book of an unknown?That, and we don't live in the time of Dickens anymore, where novels were published in serial form, and there were few other forms of diversion besides reading.There's an awful lot of competition for a person's attention span these days, and devoting a couple hours a night for 3 weeks to read a long book just isn't that popular. I know that for myself, even if I like a books, if the reading of it goes on for more than two weeks(and I'm a slow reader) I get impatient to move on to something else. When making my selection, I can't help but think - I could be read this one book, or I could use the same amount of time to read these 3 other books. Of course, this is from someone who's near to embarking on reading Ulysses. Plus there is the weight factor. Try holding up that 848 page bad-boy on the train or bus with one hand,(you'll have wrists like Hank Aaron in no time) or getting conked in the nose as you fall asleep reading.
I agree with shamatha here, if the book is by someone I am obsessed with or there is some other pull, I'd probably tackle a longer title. Usually though, I opt for shorter books -- for all the reasons you say, Jim. And the portability factor is key -- am I going to take a huge monster hardcover to my daughter's swim lessons each week? I don't think so -- unless I can get one of those wheeled backpacks. And I don't think I could get away with that and not get her one too. I'm not much into "Irving-ey goodness" so I don't think I'll be checking out this one. Unless they make it into a B&N Classic Starts edition ...
Garp and MeaneyI just read two mid-length to long books by Irving - THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP and A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANEY. I also have a copy of THE CIDER HOUSE RULES that I want to get to (after I wade through some Pynchon). I would like to read the new Irving volume, despite its length -- but I'll probably wait until it's in paperback. In other words, yes, but no rush.
848 would be a cool area codeLooking over at my nearest bookshelf, I see 8 spines with Irving on them. I felt a trail off in Widow, and haven't made it through Circus even though I've started it twice. I fear I've blown my load on Irving.But hell, it's been a while and I can't count someone who has made me say SNAP! so many times before. We'll see.

Imagine the silence of pristine fields, a silence broken only by the calls of the native animals and the soothing sounds of water flowing over rocks. This is just one of the many delights awaiting you at Kiulu Valley.
Located 60 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, this beautiful valley offers you an experience of a lifetime by taking you through one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Sabah. Kiulu Valley is an integrated ecotourism destination that includes farmstead, homestays and outdoor adventure activities that are sure to satisfy your appetite for adventure. It is the perfect place for you to unwind and unleash your adventurous spirit!
Experience everything Kiulu Valley has to offer by riding your quad bike through small riverside villages, home of the Dusun ethnic group, passing by green jungles, plantations and through the local peoples' farms. If you haven't tried it before, quad biking is an exciting, adrenalin-filled adventure that is not difficult to master. All that is required is a sense of balance and an adventurous spirit! These tough four-wheelers are a fun way to enjoy the guided quad bike rides that twists and turns and takes you up and down the hills.
Kiulu Valley is surrounded by the beautiful Kiulu River and green paddy fields with scenic farms, forests and undulating mountain ridges. If you feel like stretching your legs, explore the adventurous trails of one of Sabah's beautiful waterfall systems, trek through jungles untouched by the modern world, and a chance of seeing different species of animals. You can also go for a night walk in search of frogs and nocturnal wildlife.
The fertile soil in this area is a major factor for agriculture. It is estimated that there is approximately 16 hectares of land in the area that is planted with rubber trees. The local Dusuns will take you through a rubber tapping experience you can't resist – from using a special tapping knife to shear off a thin layer of the rubber tree's bark and letting the latex flow into a cup attached to the tree – to manually rolling and drying the rubber sheets to be processed as rubber bands, balloons, tyres, rubber boots, rubber stamps and many more.
Apart from that, the local Dusuns also plant rice and work on fruit orchards. Regular paddy field and hillside rice are produced on small scales basis. In fruit orchards, various fruit trees such as durian, pineapples, bambangan, langsat and tarap are planted – you can help pluck ripened fruits off trees, and gobble down those delicious and juicy local fruits on the spot!
The local Dusuns will demonstrate to you the process of planting and growing rice – a paddy planting activity that is done sustainably, organically and by hand, the way it had been for generations. You can also dine by the paddy field, giving you the opportunity to taste local dishes that are organic, healthy and delicious. All the ingredients are locally grown and produced in Kiulu Valley, so you can rest assured that the food you are eating are natural, fresh and nutritious.
After a long day of adventure, you can cool down from the heat of the day by dipping and relaxing in the sensationally cool Kiulu River. There is also a beautiful eco-farmstay along the river bank called Kiulu Farmstay – a perfect place to sit back, unwind, have a bite or two and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. The design of the eco-farmstay reflects the Bornean communal culture of longhouses and is built with an eye towards sustainability – using locally sourced and treated wood, bamboo and biocrete walling that fit perfectly with the surrounding jungles. While you're here, you can try tubing – a perfect relaxed activity in Kiulu River! The tubing trail in the river is already available and safe as tubing in shallow water is possible. Tubing is an individual activity – suitable for both young and old; however, it is important that children are not too young and are able to swim to reduce risks.
Kiulu Valley combines an atmosphere of hospitality with a rich culture. The valley offers you a taste of the warmth, hospitable, peaceful and healthy lifestyle of the Dusun ethnic group. An interesting and unique way to really get to know the place you are visiting is by staying with a local family. This is the ultimate cultural experience where you will learn a great deal about how the local Dusuns live – from work life and local cuisines to things they do for fun. Staying in a home stay with a local family can be a rewarding experience as every person you meet will have a story to share and many friendships have been forged this way.
Let the local Dusuns take you on a cultural journey of a lifetime as you learn about their unique local adventure sport comprising four activities (also known as the 4Ms) – Manangkus (running), Mamangkar (bamboo rafting), Manampatau (paddling on a bamboo pole) and Mamarampanau (walking on bamboo stilts). The 4Ms are indigenous, adventurous and thrilling eco-sports that involve survival skills and teamwork. You can also have a go at the blowpipe – a traditional weapon used to kill animals and for survival.
The local Dusuns are very skilled in handicrafts – from weaving baskets and making traditional costumes to creative wood carving and craft. You can purchase handicrafts as souvenirs or gifts but best of all, you are given the opportunity to learn and create your own handicraft!
Buffalo riding is another activity where you can ride around the valley through paddy fields, neat little houses, groves of fruit trees, and if the weather is clear, Mount Kinabalu forms a spectacular backdrop – a fun activity for both children and adults.
The local Dusuns are also known as the Latin artists of the East, famous in the State for their love and passion for music. Their traditional dances are graceful, colourful and fill with passion for life, and much sought by visitors to Sabah. You can learn the traditional Sumazau dance or play the Tongkungon – a traditional musical instrument – and join in the fun!
Fishing is another interesting activity that you can participate at Kiulu Valley. The local Dusuns will show you how to fish using traditional fishing tools including Siud (handcrafted fishing net) and Bubu (bamboo fish trap).
With so many fun and exciting activities, Kiulu Valley is a great place for family outings, school field trips, camping and team building activities. What sets Kiulu Valley apart from the rest is its location next to the beautiful Kiulu River – deep pools and shady spots with only birdsong, the rushing of the river and flitting butterflies to disturb the peace. Kiulu Valley is one of those rare places where you can sense the adventure in the air, along with the green smells from thousands of miles of jungle just waiting to be explored – ideal for adventure-hunger travelers.
Kiulu Valley is a real learning experience and it is one of those experiences that you've got to try when visiting Sabah.
