While many visitors will be content to club the night away and chill out on the many beaches by day, it would be a shame to miss out on some of the natural wonders Cyprus has to offer. For the best views on the entire island, rent a car, or hike up to the Troodos Mountains – you'll be working up a sweat and soaking up some local historical flavour at the same time. Plus you'll have the bragging rights of scaling the mythical Mount Olympus. On your way back down, don't forget to brush shoulders with the locals in the mountainous village of Platres, home to a wealth of picturesque waterfalls and forests. To continue your historical adventure, Cyprus has an endless amount of ancient ruins, archaeological wonders and otherworldly architecture for you to uncover. The ancient city of Paphos should be top of your list – the Archaeological Park offers numerous cultural delights including the famous Tomb of Kings, the breathtaking Paphos Fort and the striking Odeon amphitheatre.
Eating out
If you're a rowdy reveller looking for nothing more than to party the night away in Cyprus, then you may be tempted to make a beeline for the first fast food spot you see. But we implore you to soldier on and seek out some of the island's wonderfully authentic eateries. With enough traditional dishes to sample every night of your holiday, Cyprus is truly a land of gastronomic delights. Fans of traditional tapas will want to tuck into some delicious Cypriot mezes, which are modest plates of seafood and other meat. Regions like Limassol and Paralimni have turned this speciality into an art form. Another favourite of the island that's made its way across the Mediterranean and found its way into our local supermarkets is halloumi cheese. It's a light and versatile cheese that can be grilled and is simply divine on top of a fresh salad drizzled with locally sourced extra virgin olive oil. Seafood lovers will be in paradise, as fish is a major part of the Cypriot diet and features on practically every menu you'll find. There's no shortage of refreshing and light white wine to wash it all down with.
Continually a popular destination for families year after year, Cyprus has plenty on offer for you and your little ones, no matter what their age range. With plenty of amenities and creature comforts always within arm's reach, we're sure you'll adapt to the beach lifestyle with ease, whether your kids want to splash around on the beach building sandcastles, or bring out their inner adventurer with some extreme water sports, there's something for kids and big kids alike. Ayia Napa, in particular, caters for water babies with a number of fantastic water parks available. So, as they crash down slide after slide you can wave from a sun lounger at the side of the pool while sizzling and sipping on cocktails. It's your holiday too, after all. Later on, a boat trip out to the coastline to explore sea caves will provide plenty of family memories and photo opportunities. After some recent rejuvenation to make it even more family friendly, no matter where in Cyprus you end up, you'll find plenty of family-oriented resorts and kid friendly beaches. You'll be truly spoilt for choice.
Action & Adventure
If you're looking to get your heart racing and blood pumping in Cyprus there's no end to the high-octane activities you can take part in. If water sports take your fancy, then you have plenty of options – if you manage to pull yourself out of the warm Mediterranean waters, that is. With diving, snorkelling and sailing, among others, available, you can select the pace at which you want your adventure to go. Back on dry land, head for Paphos where you'll find jeep safaris galore to take you over the rugged Cypriot terrain, or take your pick of semi-aquatic buggies if you fancy getting your feet wet. If a good hike is more your scene, then head straight for the diverse Troodos mountains. With fascinating trails aplenty, ranging from the simple to the more challenging, you'll be in hiking heaven and even get to check out the gorgeous traditional towns of Omodhus and Platres on your travels.
If you're looking for nothing more than to chill out on the beach and sizzle, while feeling the touch of powder-soft sand on your feet, then Cyprus will meet your every whim. With a gorgeous coastline that boasts immaculately well-kept beaches on all sides, you'll marvel at these golden crescents as you soak up some rays every morning. For a family friendly beach offering, look no further than Protaras, with large amount of space, shallow waters and the usual amenities close by that you would expect from a sun holiday. The younger set will want to head for the famed resort of Ayia Napa – with a beautiful selection of beaches, action-packed water sports and a vibrant party atmosphere that hits as the sun begins to set, the transition from swimming trunks to glad rags will soon become second nature. Those that don't mind venturing off the beaten track a little will be incredibly rewarded on the tranquil town of Polis. It has a number of quaint coves and beaches for you to find your own personal slice of heaven.
Often thought of as the Ibiza of the Eastern Mediterranean, the nightlife in Cyprus is not to be sniffed at. Those with cheap drinks and dancing on the brain will want to head to Ayia Napa, party central of the island, with an entire strip of bars and clubs galore to choose from. Revellers from the UK and Ireland will be particularly impressed with the 'free pour' ethos of the bartenders here. If you want nothing more that to rave all night, sleep all day and maybe catch a glimpse of the sun, you've come to the right place. If you're after a more laid-back affair, but still want to keep the option of partying open, then Limassol is your best bet. With an enchanting old-town vibe, this coastal hotspot once reigned supreme as the Cypriot party capital, before Ayia Napa came along. You could call it a more refined version of Ayia Napa – think chic cocktail bars and classy lounges rather than fishbowls of alcohol.
If you're a couple that likes to party together, and recover together the next day curled up on soft, sandy beaches, then Cyprus will provide this in spades. But if you'd prefer some traditional romantic vibes, this wonderful island has plenty in store. Visiting couples will adore sipping on beachside cocktails before a leisurely stroll as the sun begins to set on the horizon and the warm Mediterranean waves lap against the coast. Then top this off with a romantic meal for two in any of the quaint and cosy tavernas or classy restaurants. Love will certainly be in the air around Aphrodite beach in Kouklia, which houses the Petra tou Romiou, said to be the birthplace of the goddess of love herself. Impress your other half with a day trip to this scenic location and you're sure to get loved up. If you're thinking about popping the question, then Aphrodite Hills will provide all manner of stunning backdrops for you to get down on one knee. Or, if you already have, Cyprus is ideal as a wedding location, famed for its blissful beach weddings and charming clifftop chapels.
The Cypriot way of life is all about the slower pace and enjoying the finer things in life. But with millenniums of history in its past, there's no shortage of things for culture vultures to sink their teeth into. You'll derive hours of pleasure from ambling around mountain towns like Platres and culturally significant cities like Paphos. These places still bear the marks of the past and links to mythical gods like Aphrodite. Cyprus is simply bursting at the seams with culture and an air of mystery, with plenty of museums also on offer like the Archaeological Museum in Nicosia if you fancy ducking into the shade for your dose of culture.

If you haven't watched the first two nights – then you ought not read this article (of course if you haven't watched the first two nights, maybe you should back away from the computer and go watch them).
What a fantastic four hours of 24. I was shocked in season 2 when the bomb went off mid-season, so I definitely didn't expect that to happen in the fourth hour of the show. And if you know 24, you know that this isn't the main story. The bomb (or five bombs) aren't the issue – there's another game afoot.
Couple of thoughts:
- Curtis – we hardly even knew thee. All it took is for me to pronounce Curtis' invincibility for him to bite it. Not only is he killed, but he's killed by Jack who is protecting a terrorist – oh the irony.
- CTU is as stealthy as George Bush at a gay pride parade. First they inadvertently warn the terrorist that Jack was trailing, giving him time to kill himself. Then they allow the bomb to be set off by doing the same thing at the warehouse.
- This President Palmer is making me miss President Logan – not to mention the first President Palmer. The show is 4 hours old – he's made a deal with China to get Jack, and then two deals with Fayed, and finally pardoned Al-Assad.
- Big role by Kal Penn. I guess they didn't want to take time from a Harold and Kumar of Van Wilder sequel
- Yes – Chloe is still bitchtasic

At Little Bear Books we use insight from nature to create sing-along stories that inspire, entertain and educate.
Author Krissi Russell is a singer, songwriter, and Spanish teacher who grew up surrounded by music. Her mom sang in a barbershop quartet, and as a young child Krissi spent many hours listening (and singing along) during Monday night rehearsals. At the age of 12, she followed her mom's footsteps and began singing lead in her own quartet, "The Encore Four," with her mom as coach. Krissi took private voice lessons and sang in a bluegrass band, "Slim Pickins."
Krissi studied environmental education at Huxley College of Environmental Studies and graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in education. Twenty four years of teaching experience and a lifelong passion for environmental education come together in her read and sing storybooks for young children.
Little Bear Books began at a Lake Tahoe lemonade stand in 2005. Krissi's son, Caleb, was selling lemonade to the neighborhood when a bear wandered by and came within 10 feet of his stand. Don't worry; he didn't feed the bear lemonade! But the event was inspiration for the song "Don't Feed Our Bears," which evolved into Little Bear Books' first sing-along book/CD set. See all Little Bear Books' sing-along stories.
Each Little Bear Book is a collaborative effort between Krissi and other talented artists, including:
Illustrator Lois Olsen is a sculptor, poet and painter whose work is well known in the Palos Verdes, CA, area where she lives. Lois is happiest when she is painting or sculpting for the sheer pleasure of creating. She enjoys using a variety of mediums and a wide range of art styles. Her illustrations for Little Bear Books are done in watercolor. Bright and vivid, her paintings create a sense of wonder and excitement about the natural world.
Steve Walker is the recording artist who brings Krissi's music alive. His trio, The Steve Walker Band, has been entertaining guests on the Tahoe Queen for the past 25 years. Steve is a lead vocalist and guitarist with over 40 years of experience on stage. His influence on Little Bear Books' songs comprises singing backup vocals, playing bass and lead guitar, mixing and mastering recordings, and contributing to the arrangement of Krissi's compositions.

Beta of Accessible Nashville WordPress Theme
Almost a year ago, I caught the accessible WordPress theme bug. Specifically I caught it from Joseph Karr O'Connor at last year's CSUN Conference on Technology and Disabilities. Something about his kindness and enthusiasm made me open my mouth and volunteer to do an "Accessible Nashville" WordPress theme for Accessible Cities.
Download It
Today (Feb. 27, 2014) I'm releasing a beta version. It's named "All Y'all." If you would like the code, you can download it as a zip file from GitHub.
And you can see it in action right here on this website. I'm using it with the defaults, except instead of a background of #ddd (light gray) I added one of the subtle patterns.
I've tested it with the theme check plugin, and it's fine, but I want to hold off submitting it to WordPress as an official theme until I get a thumbs up about its accessibility from the Cities cognoscenti.
What's Special About This Theme?
I've focused on the following qualities (in alphabetical order):
- Accessibility (first and foremost)
- Customizability (using many of those "add_theme_support" functions, such as custom backgrounds)
- Good Google juice — in other words SEO
- Responsiveness, so it works well on mobile devices, etc.
- Simple elegance – focusing on fonts and consistent line heights (with a 7 pixel vertical base)
Originally the primary audience was congregations — churches, temples, sanghas, etc. But it's simple and flexible enough that I've already put an early version to work for one of my favorite non-profits — NVC Nashville. I'm working on a congregation-focused child theme and will announce it on this site when it's ready.
Why "All Y'all"?
The theme is named "All Y'all" for a couple of reasons. For one thing, that's the way we speak inclusivity here in Nashville. If you really want to include everyone, you don't just say "y'all." You say "all y'all" — e.g. "all y'all come on down." And if that's not enough, its initial letters look a lot like "a11y" — the numeronym for accessibility. It's a name and domain that just had to be.
Aug. 2014 Update
I'm in the final lap of getting it ready to submit to wordpress.org. I received a fantastic accessibility audit from Wayne Dick and his student, John Sweet, and am incorporating their feedback right now. Once that's done, it's out the door….

From the seemingly unstoppable Ben Glaetzer comes this juicy black Cabernet Sauvignon. Great quality underlies all the upfront cassis fruit which is balanced by savoury tannins. You'll find it luscious, enveloping and delicious.'How good is it to have this super cabernet and the following shiraz both from the 2010 vintage and both available at the moment? This is a beautiful example of Langhorne Creek cabernet. All soft and generously cuddly, yet with good structure and spine to support a long finish. Plums and blackcurrant influences with smooth tannin and fine-grained oak in support. The palate is just so appealing and succulent for current drinking though further cellaring will reward you. This is high-class drinking at this price.' - 93/100.- West Australian, Perth, 20 Jun 2013, by Ray Jordan.

The sacred dance of healing
An exclusive interview with DR CRYSTAL JONES, who is a multifaceted healing facilitator and doctor. She is fluent in many languages of healing, including medicine, alternative healing, yoga and meditation, and acts a guide for women who are ready to dive within and heal themselves.
Q: It seems like your vocational path has led you to hold space to help people heal and rejuvenate in many different capacities. I find that alchemy really happens when humans connect with this intention. Can you share a little bit about the space that's created when two people come together to evoke healing?
CJ: I feel the space that's created when two people come together to evoke healing is like a sacred dance. A lot of the time there's the healer and the healing facilitator, but I really think it's two people on the same accord.
When a person is looking for another language of healing and more depth, and they cross the path of a healer, they are also responsible for understanding what they want from it, rather than only thinking, "This person is a doctor, or this person is a Yoga instructor and they've mastered this, so it will give me what I need." So as a healer I generally ask the question, "Who are you? What is it that my path can do to serve you?", because we can't be in a sacred dance until we both own the fact that our healing is within. Our power is really something that comes together to read each other and to move through different interferences and destructive cycles together.
Q: And building on that, how do you find yourself balancing your role as a guide while also allowing that person's inner guidance to come forward naturally?
CJ: I guide based on listening to them. So they actually lead. I consider myself as a guide in the same way as someone who speaks a different language would be a guide for someone else. I hear what people are saying – I listen to what they're saying, what their worries are, what they're saying with their non-verbal cues – and when it seems like they are getting stuck in a pattern, I translate it so they understand why their body is responding this way. What core values, what core experiences, what core truths are they going with? And so their guidance actually tells me what that is.
When I ask them who they are and what they want out of this experience, we have a clear path and I understand what their belief systems are. I understand that maybe they have a need to be needed, or maybe that they want to feel loved, but they don't have boundaries, they have walls up. When I understand that, I can see where the disconnect is and why they're not necessarily where they want to be. Just because they're saying what their core values are, and where they want to be, that's not the same as being there. Incongruence will never really produce results, and so my job is to be in there and help them create that level of congruency.
It's an evolutionary process, so it doesn't necessarily happen that same day. It could, but it is not supposed to happen at a certain time. It's a process of evolving a truth until it's a core belief, and when it's a core belief that's what can then be expected. But now I also have the understanding that what we're looking for is never outside us; we're just unable to accept it and remember it at this moment.
Q: You were talking about your process of being a translator. I find so much of healing is a reconciliation of syntax. We tell ourselves one thing, and then we have to uncover that it's actually something else. Can you speak more about how people are able to translate a problem into something more empowering?
CJ: It might sound like a cliché, but a lot of it is the 'scarcity and abundance' mentality. A problem means that we feel we are lacking something, and that right there is enough to understand that we are not in the present moment. A person coming for healing is not in the present moment because they're lacking something. So they have to get to the point when they're not lacking anything and they understanding that their experiences have led them to this point. Then, what they are doing is understanding that they are excellence and perfection personified. For that, they have got to go within, but it's not necessarily a problem.
Any time we see things as problems, we are discounting that we're made in the image of perfection. And so we continually fight ourselves and continue to be who we are not, rather than accepting fears and shadow truths and realizing that this is our wholeness. Where we are right now is our wholeness. If we want to create a new narrative we can, but there is nothing wrong with our existing narrative; it's just where we've been till now and the things we've accepted as true.
So let's figure out what's true and what's not. Say we don't want certain belief patterns to be true anymore, where are they coming from? Do we want to evolve those patterns, or do we want to stay safe right now and just be where we are?
Now that everything is on the table, we can decide where we want to go because that is our decision. "Okay, now I understand where this is coming from, why this is happening, based on what I just said. If I want to change it I can. If don't want to I don't have to." We may want to change in six weeks, we may want to change in six years, or whatever. It really gives us the opportunity to understand, "I'm not in a problem. I'm just a screenwriter." And when we see what's not working on stage, what we can do is to change the script, not the characters. We change the script.
Q: We have this potential to evolve into that higher Self. What do you see as those major thresholds or milestones that we have to pass through to continue on this journey?
CJ: One of the major milestones is owning power and understanding that we are the co-creators of our lives. We get to make those decisions. Understanding that life is happening through us and for us, not to us. Situations are happening, but they are happening through us and for us.
I think that's the biggest limitation – thinking that we are always the victim. I don't mean that nobody's ever been a victim of anything, but that everybody tends to see or operate based on, "What happens to me?" The truth is we operate that way, however we can turn that story into what we want to turn it into. If we don't understand the power we have – to turn that story into what serves the highest good – then we'll continue to be in a problem, we'll continually think something's wrong with us, and we'll continually be acting backwards.
To be continued.

It's true about the peonies~:) And a new to me cake~
About the peonies first~
I am almost certain you are tired of hearing about peonies..they have finished blooming outdoors here..but I have some blooming indoors..♥
A little while back at Debbie's Blog..she mentioned that we could cut off buds..keep in the fridge.. and then just take them out ...of the fridge ,place in water...and they will bloom..I saved 5... I should have saved way more..3 have bloomed ...2 to go..And next time I will leave them even longer in the fridge..who knows ?..."if we could wait until Christmas?":)
I would save some red and white ones~
Althoug pink might be refreshing in December~
Thank you Debbie for this invaluable tip.
Sunday was extremely hot and sunny ..No dessert left ..and I knew I would be over the stove for penne and rapini..so didn't really feel like making an elaborate dessert..
Who came to the rescue?
My friend told me what she was making for dessert and sent me a link:)You can find Linda's Blog and the recipe right here..
It's so good..and whips up in about 5 minutes..You can use any fruits..:)
It is a keeper!
I used tiny wild red...berries.. what I thought I had planted ... raspberries.. turned the color of blackberries..
Go peek and see what Linda recommends.
I am sure it will be on your go to dessert list for summer with our abunfance of fabulous fruits~
You know by now that gardens please me..and this may be the summer I wish lasted forever.
I love this heat..the rain..( a lovely new word for me..: Petrichor~ the scent outside after it rains~)
I think I would rather be moist and have the opportunity to cool off a bit inside..compared to always freezing in winter..:)
Never thought I would say that..as winter is beautifull here.
the gardens please me..and they are pleased to have a nice new little deck to bake on:)
And all the little flying insects are that much closer to me..nothing that bites..:)
My olive tree..(no olives yet..:) )..attracts special wings in flight type:)I see the flutter with my lens~
The herbs are the best they have ever been~
Mon Jardin.. :) Ronelle..is full of memories..
The lavender topiary is from one of my daughter's 2 Mother's Days ago~ It has moved to a bigger pot twice!
The Olive Tree ..from Nancy~
A Rosemary Christmas tree shaped plant in terra cotta ..from Nancy too..~
Nasturtiums..unruly~But I love them..
Tomatoes..small:)I just like to watch them grow~:) Like Lucas..and Max and Noah and Oli~
I have a few planters ..per say.. that are very dear to me..
One of the nicest young women..that I met in my career..could not bring her planters to California..and left me her blues..and some terra cotta.
Sometimes people leave such an impression on you..
I wish she had stayed:)~
Like I wish summer could stay..~:)
I am sure I will find many things to be grateful for this winter..~
Have a good week!

I can't wait to get our garden, we move on Saturday :) I shall be coming here for all of my inspiration and advice xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Please keep me posted every step of the way Rebecca:)Delete
That's a lot for you to do right now!!
You can do it..
But be gentle on yourself..and Baby:)
Interesting to know about the peonies. I am making a cake for my daughters shower with a clear tea pot on top. I could put the closed peony inside with a layer of water and it would bloom inside the pot:DReplyDeleteReplies
It probably would:)Delete
That gave me goose bumps Valeria:)
What a wonderful tip about the peonies! I must remember that for next season ~ thank you and Debbie for sharing!ReplyDelete
As always, visiting your blog is always a very special delight, Mme. Magical. xo~mReplies
I can see us with storage compartments in the fridge..marked..peonies from here on end:-)Delete
How do you make a lavender topiary!!!??? I want one!! Also, wish I knew that about peonies a couple of months ago!ReplyDelete
Pam..it came like that:-)ReplyDelete
It is now twice the size it was..but it was a topiary when it came to live with me:-)
I winter it in my
QC..home..it hibernates with me..then out in the summer..
Hope you can find one:-)
Didn't know until I tried re the peonies...
If I had a peony bush, I would save a freezer full of buds. What a terrific idea! Your summer shots are amazing as always, Monique. I wish I could take such crisp, colorful photos. I will now look for a lavender topiary too. Such a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing the beauty that surrounds you! ~ SarahReplyDelete
I am glad you liked the cake...i am making one with apricots and raspberries tomorrow...the original is from Marian Burros and the summer fruit one is from Richard Sax...called the All Time Best Summer Fruit Torte.ReplyDelete
Either way it is the same cake...you just change up the fruit.
Your Peonies look amazing...i had planned to save some in the fridge this year but had so few flowers.
All of your garden pics look beautiful...
Hope you have a wonderful week too!
Bisous xoReplies
Thank you again.:)Next yr..we will remind each other!Delete
I have always wanted to try keeping my peonies in the frig. Maybe next year!!!ReplyDelete
Your images make me SIGH!Replies
I can just imagine how many you will do Yvonne..Delete
Your indoor home photos make me sigh:)You take excellent photos..
Isn't it funny how we see things?
What a brillian t idea!ReplyDelete
It is the fridge not the freezer right?
Your garden is just so pretty
Paint from your photos?
Why not?
The beeees!Replies
Fridge..you just have to watch for humidity..what I did was wrap in paper towel then cling wrap..Delete
Next year..I will be preapared..
I tried painting my patio plants yesterday..even put the wrong date on..
But I put the palette like yu:)
My fave part.
That does make sense that you could stall blooming by the cold. Florists do it all the time, don't they? Beautiful to extend a season just a bit longer on peonies. They are a joy of summer.ReplyDelete
For me, I just can't take the heat but love the flowers... more a spring and fall girl than summer if truth be told.
Your photos as always are perfect. I am just back from seeing so many English gardens. Their heat wave usually hovers around 78 with 50's in the evening so perfect weather.... roses and lavender everywhere.
How are your olives???Replies
Hi Deana..I will not get olives..As it lives in the house all year also apart from 2 months in summer..But I am amazed at how well it grew..twice the size at least.Delete
I am sure if I had this heat and humidity for months..the complaining would strat:)
But so far..so good.
We waited a long time for summer this year..
Hope your container gardens are doing well..
English gardens are a sight!Never saw in person..but many magazines..books etc..
I had read about the peonies a few years ago, but never remember to do it!ReplyDelete
I have fond memories of making that plum cake with my mom. So simple and perfect for this hot weather we are having.
There was a beautiful breeze at the ocean yesterday. We were there with the 5 gkids. They are all water babies! Lily is taking jr lifesaving at the ocean, in a few more years she will be on the stand where her dad used to be! Where does the time go?
Have a good week! Peaches on sale for .79 a lb, so I think it will be a peachy week!Replies
It does sound Peachy..I remember when you bought Lily her first LPulitzer dress..Delete
The boys here are water babies too..One just came back from Maine..but usually they are pool or murky water swimmers:)
No ovean right here.
How they actually get into the water I have no idea~Not for me anymore..I need to see the bottom.
Lily will end up with a beautiful home in The Hampton's..like Diane Keaton's in something's Gotta Give:)
Peonies should rule every garden! And I'm sure yours thrive just by the touch of your capable hands.ReplyDelete
I have quite a collection of peonies, which I often visit...via my garden books :) But I intend to save Debbie's tip in case goddess Flora takes pity on me and turns me into a gardener.
Mon M, have you tried painting peonies? If not, you certainly should.
I have.. I so far.. am useless at 3 dimensional anything..or life like..Delete
Mine are childish..kind of..
I hope the Peony Goddess bestows you with a plethora of peonies.
I get the feeling ..that you have quite a garden:)
It's so hot here..over 100 in the sun..our little deck has shade and a breeze..so we can certanly stand it:)
I have collections in books too:)
Take up no room..!
Your photography is just breathtaking. I have to go check out the cake.ReplyDelete
Magnifique! j'aime ces clichés. Très joli post!ReplyDelete
bonne journée à toi! Cath.
Another beautiful post Monique. I loved reading all of your words and the pictures, well . . . they are truly stunning. I caught a bee in flight the other day. Truly magnificent. I love these hot summer days. They are far too brief, and winter too long. I will enjoy this warmth as much as I can, now, I too, am off to check out the cake!ReplyDelete
Love YOU! xxoo
That is so cool about the peonies, I had NO idea! I will be trying this but not this year sadly! You always have wonderful ideas and that dessert is a wonderful one to have in your bag of magic tricks for sure!ReplyDelete
It's a little keeper cake everyone:)ReplyDelete
Great for the bag of tricks..well said!
I think peonies are so beautiful. That is such a cool tip about the peonies...wow. We have never been able to grow them...a bit too warm here. I will enjoy them in your garden and arrangements!ReplyDelete
Your peonies are truly magnificent...sigh!ReplyDelete
I will have to go and peek at Linda's blog!
Love her too!
Shel x
I think most people love them..my friend Nancy popped by yesterday..with a florists bouquet of 3.. along with Lady's Mantle..I had never thought of the 2 together..Charming!ReplyDelete
Monique, so nice to visit your place again, it has been so long since I have roamed my blogging friends, too busy I am afraid. Such beautiful flowers and such charming words, I love to visit. And here we are in winter the colour of your garden is beautiful to me at this timeReplyDelete
I remember Debbie's post but somehow missed the part about saving the peony buds in the refrigerator! How sad there are no buds to save but I will sneak out tomorrow morning just to make sure :) Putting this on my calendar for next year! There are one of the most elegant flowers I know.ReplyDelete
What a fantastic idea on saving the peony buds in the refrigerator. They are such gorgeous flowers. Your garden is beautiful Monique. Summer is my favorite time of the year.ReplyDelete
You're so busy with your renos..thanks for the visit:)Delete
You get summer to LAST.
Thank you for information about peonies, I did not know that, it would be great to have such a beautiful flowers for Christmas.ReplyDelete
Never tired of anything you blog about, the pictures are beautiful.ReplyDelete
I didn't know that about peonies, can't wait to save them next year. The dessert is going to be on the menu this weekend. With all the summer fruit you can't go wrong. Love all your topiaries, so pretty. I have them through out our miniature gardens, can't have enough. I'm in love with all your inspiring photos, they're fantastic! Thanks so much for stopping by with your kind comment, it made my day!ReplyDelete
You can never say enough about peonies, Monique. I love them, as I'm sure I've mentioned. Had not a clue about putting the buds in the fridge. Brilliant! Also would never have dreamed they would last long enough in the fridge for Christmas!ReplyDelete
Oh not sure about Christmas:) I am just going to try next year!:)So I should know in about 18 months!ReplyDelete
A wonderful cake! I am a big fan of plums/prunes and can't get enough of them.ReplyDelete
An interesting fact about peonies! Those flowers are intriguing.
I am so glad, I found your blog, you have some wonderful pictures!ReplyDelete
A memory post...filled with lovely thoughts! I can relate...the lavenders, the olives..i saw the pots of oliviers in Provence and said to Hartman: "this photo is for Monique"..I still have to send it to you.ReplyDelete
I have to admire the peonies on blogs and other gardens..my garden is only filled with plants to survive the heat and drought in summers...maybe I'll see your peoanies in December..that will be special!
I wish I can sit with you in your garden,..non, ...walk with your through your garden...in Juillet or Decembre..now that will be specail!

It's admittedly an excruciatingly boring subject, one made worse by the ghoulish personalities of most people who talk about such things, but there is no denying that hugely important developments are underway in Treasury yield curves.

October is probably the dorkiest month of the year. It's the month when you can not-so-secretly get excited to wear a costume, even if you are grown ass adult, and to ironically/not-ironically pumpkin spice everything in your life. I don't do either of those, dress up or eat crap, but I have of late really embraced what many could classify as a dorky lifestyle and you know what? I love it.
The idea of the nerd/dork has been in vogue for sometime. Bill Gates and his crew dancing on the Microsoft stage is so cringe that it is adorable and there is an almost ridiculous amount of TV shows, and movies ranging from good, like Stranger Things to the very bad like Big Bang Theory, which centralizes on the dork as their protagonist(s). This is a bit of an annoying formula and all too transparent at times but it is nonetheless trending and will continue to trend because dorks tend to run things and make money and that's what really matters.
I must admit that I am actually not a card carrying member of the dork world, I'm too assertive and nihilistic to ever really fit the bill but I must confess that in the past few weeks/months I have totally surrendered to impulses and interests that are certifiably uncool/aka so cool because they are uncool aka very dorky. I have been wondering what's up with this new lifestyle diversion and I think that its perhaps my age and it resulting in me actually not giving a fudge about being/being perceived/wanting to do anything besides exactly what I want to do.
What I have also learned about this new "dork" lifestyle embrace is that it is private and slow and has a nurturing quality that is accumulative. There is a real emphasis in practice, focused exploration, a constancy of pursuing that requires a form of investment that has little to no reward besides that which is measured by yourself and perhaps a small circle that is also invested in that activity.
Also, this type of lifestyle is maybe a remedy for the structuring capitalist system that we live in which we are valued and measured by such absurd metrics and constructed exchanges. The possession of one's interest nay hobbies and that of their time, labor and intellectual/physical energy is subversive in its novelty, self-satisfaction and essential uselessness.
These are all formative thoughts based on my early dabbling and openness to a type of character and activities that may be deemed as dorky but regardless of the labeling, I am finding them incredibly fun, rewarding and interesting. That alone is explanation enough for me.
Below is a quick run-up of some of these alleged dorky activities. If you are thinking about shaking up your life I would recommend you finding a "dorky" activity to take up versus buying something new or travelling to somewhere colonized. All that is so normal and who can bare being that these days.
Ikebana – This is a form of Japanese flower arranging that started in Japan by Buddhist monks and became popularized in the 10th century. There are many different schools. These schools matter and are distinguished because you have to learn from a master of whichever school you study and basically spend hours and hours placing flowers and leaves in formulaic yet interpretive construction. I am studying Ikenobo, which is one of oldest schools. I'm taking a course at the Nippon Society. It is fun, rigorous, sort of expensive and I am very bad at it but I want to get at least non-embarrassingly adept at it.
Dinner Parties – I love having a large group (over 10) people over for dinner and to cook a lot of food and have people relax and talk and get to know each other. The practice of having dinner parties is weirdly not something that is done by Millennials etc., especially in New York, and I think that's a travesty. We have very busy lives and most of our social interactions are protracted in social networking or just vegging out. I think there is a real need to have such things as dinner parties to carve out a different type of social interaction and fun. This also lets me make new recipes, which is pretty mental to do for such a large event but heh, I can't eat a whole cassoulet by myself.
Archery – Just tried archery for the first time after wanting to do it for months. I was nervous but it was fun! I went to Gotham Archery in Gowanus. Living in NYC is amazing because you can literally think of any crazy hobby and you can find someplace/some group of people that are amped about it and want to teach you. I want to get like very good at it. Or at least 50% bulls eye good.
Reading – Yup I read a lot. I read fantasy, theory, fiction, non-fiction, articles, poetry, everything. I love reading. Period. Forever. What am I currently reading? Dune. Yup. Dune.
Organ Music – Grace Church near Union Square has organ music by Bach every Tues-Fri at 12:30ish for a half hour. It's a great way to chill out during the workload and to weirdly meditate and imagine how weird the world used to be. I also LOVE choral music. Need to find a few NYC spots for this. Also, if you like chamber music/classical I recommend Trinity Church near Wall Street. They do good, cheap/free musical programming.
Learning French – I want to be able to read French. Tried taking a class but it's only conversational. I want to READ FRENCH!
Feeding stray cats – I'm that lady. That crazy cat lady!

They are back. Yes, the trio Djokovic, Federer and Nadal along with other top tennis names return to play the Tennis Masters Rogers Cup in Montreal. Although names like Robing Soderling, Andy Roddick and David Ferrer have pulled out of the biggest prize tournament of Canada but the tennis spectators will enjoy the greatest trivalry of greatest tennis players Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. As per the draws, following matches or clashes can be expected in the Montreal Tennis Masters Rogers Cup:
1) Serbian tennis player Djokovic, the current No.1 tennis player might face Nikolay Davydenko in the second round and Juan Martin Del Potro in the third round before a competitive match with Gael Monfils in the quarters.
2) Del Potro will have to play Marin Cilic and Nieminen and win against them to play against Djokovic.
3) For Monfils to face Djokovic, he will have to deal with American tennis player John Isner and Viktor Troicki.
4) Andy Murray might face Kevin Anderson in the second round before coming on to Wawrinka who defeated Murray in the US Open 2010 however Wawrinka will play his first round match with Nalbandian.
5) The king of clay, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal seems to be in least trouble as he would be opening against Chardy of Dodig before going on to Fernando Verdasco in the third round and then playing Tomas Berdych or Gilles Simon in the quarterfinals.

Hottest Male Tennis Players-All Time
by MairaS on July 15, 2011
in Hottest tennis players
Tennis and glamour have always been walking together hand in hand, season to season, continents to continents and their relation is tied up as twins.
It's all about the lights of glamour and the game that turned the Swedish giant to a legendry profile Bjorn Borg, both in the court and to the media as one of the hottest male players of his era. German stars are not far away in this race, putting their profile in the list of hot shots through Boris Becker, whose name kept shining in the media faster than his rocket serve. Now a day's glamour is so much into tennis that the legends are competing both in the circuit as well as in the media lights, and there is one angry star famous for his racket breaking, Marat Safin whose anger is more than the heat produced by the glamorous lights.
The profile of hottest tennis male players is incomplete without the Spanish bull Rafael Nadal known as "Rafa", who has truly caught the eyes of millions around the world not only by his top game but also by his Biceps. Some say his biceps are stronger than the bulls horn followed by his country man Fernando Verdasco who couldn't rule the circuit but is ruling the hearts of thousands of girls with his hotness.
Last but not the least, a name no one wants to miss is of the current world No. 1 from Serbia, Novak Djokovic, who has crushed all opponents in the current year and is also under the fashion lights which are constantly storming around him. Perhaps with his hot and cool attitude and sexy body, he no doubt is the icon of the hottest male tennis players of history. Any doubt? 😉

Freudenstadt © Matt Weitzel
The largest city in the Black Forest region of Germany, Freudenstadt is a great place to start a holiday in the Black Forest, and a popular base from which to explore the stunning region. The town is known for its sunny, warm weather, meaning visitors can enjoy its many outdoor attractions. One of these is the lovely central town square which is home to the largest marketplace in Germany and a great place to do some holiday shopping. Most buildings in Freudenstadt were flattened in World War II. However, there are still several interesting sites, including the Stadtkirche, which dates back to the 17th century. Visitors to Freudenstadt also enjoy the many good restaurants which serve up tasty local cuisine.
While a holiday in Freudenstadt is worthwhile and the city attracts many people in its own right, most visitors come to enjoy the surrounding region, which boasts some of the best skiing, hiking and camping in the Black Forest. The Parkwald, Germany's largest nature reserve, is nearby, and has many miles of hiking trails. Fruedenstadt is conveniently situated on the Schwarzwald Hochstrasse highway, which stretches to Baden-Baden and meanders past many quaint shops and cafes, as well as popular ski slopes.

What People Are Saying…
"I have owned Oakdale dental for eight years and did not want just anybody to take over. When I first met Alif I knew he would be the right person. He has great knowledge and ability as a dentist but more importantly he is kind, caring and patient. These are the qualities you need to have a great chair side manner and to really help patients. If you can not listen and communicate effectively as a dentist, you will never know what your patient wants and so you will never be able to deliver. At Oakdale dental we strive to put the patient first and always make sure we deliver. That is why Alif was the natural choice to succeed me as Clinical Director at such a prestigious practice but also the right person to write this book."
– Mr. Bayan Al Sarraj BDS. FDS,RCPS (Glasg), Specialist in Oral Surgery and implant dentistry
ITI mentor
"Alif is a great dentist but he is also a fantastic teacher. I remember when we studied together as dental students. He was always the one that people used to go to to help explain difficult concepts in a simple, understandable and accessible way. He is definitely the right person to have written this book. The book that makes the knowledge that dentist's have accessible to all."
– Dr. Hanel Nathwani BDS, Harley Street Dentist as featured on Channel 4's '10 Years Younger'
star of Sensodyne adverts
"I met Alif on many occasions at Post-Graduate CPD and find him a hugely committed young dentist who is pursuing a course of excellence to try and make himself the best practitioner possible. I was given an advance copy of his book 'The Smiling Dentist' and was fascinated by the concept of writing a book for patient information, which would be ideal for waiting rooms and to give patients ideas on informed treatment choices. I think this is a great idea, it's not a "big sell" and is a very useful tool for patients to make informed decisions regarding their treatment which I think is the only way forward for our profession. The book also donates it's profits to Bridge2Aid which I am a huge supporter of so I wish Alif the best of luck with this excellent project and would advise anyone to pay attention to this when they come across it."
– Colin Campbell – Specialist in Oral Surgery
"Looking after your teeth is so simple, but so important. The consequences of not doing so are painful and debilitating. Thankfully in the UK there is a great book like 'The Smiling Dentist' to advise us, and skilful dentists like Alif to turn to.
The communities we work within East Africa have no-one to help them, which is why our work training local health workers to provide simple treatment is life changing. More of it will be made possible by the generous contribution from Alif, and we're extremely grateful for his support."
– Mark Topley, The CEO of Bridge2Aid

The Department recognises that raising disability awareness and capacity building of expertise throughout the organisation and agencies under its remit, is fundamental to the successful implementation of this and subsequent Sectoral plans. In this regard, the Department proposes to undertake a series of activities and initiatives.
As at April 2006, there are 2,164 frontline staff working in the Department's Regional structure in the provision of customer services delivery across the nationwide local office, field services and facilitation networks.
The Regional Director's Office (RDO) provides ongoing support and direction to these staff to enable them perform their duties efficiently and effectively. As part of this remit, in consultation with staff and management, it regularly reviews the training available to ensure that new requirements which emerge within a changing work environment are matched by the timely delivery of appropriate training or information awareness sessions.
A number of submissions were received by the
RDO for specific training for staff to increase their understanding of mental health issues in order to help equip them with the knowledge and skills required to deal more effectively with customers with mental Health issues. As a response to this identified training need, the
RDO and Mental Health Ireland (MHI) is providing awareness sessions to frontline staff.
The objective of the course is to afford staff with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the issues associated with mental ill health and mental illness. This heightened awareness is aimed at assisting staff to engage and interact more meaningfully with customers with mental illness in the future. Similarly it will enable the Department to foster local contacts and networks with other agencies for the purposes of making appropriate referrals and providing an enhanced information service to customers.
In light of the preparation of the Sectoral Plan the
RDO and
MHI will continue to work in partnership towards the refinement of course content and structure. Modifications suggested during the evaluation were taken into account and have been incorporated as appropriate. The shared objective has been to design a generic programme which would be made more widely available to Regional staff on a nationwide basis. The course content which sets out to achieve the following:
It is envisaged that approximately 400 frontline staff from various offices will attend these sessions in 2006.
The Department's Staff Development Unit are co‑coordinating the roll out of a 'Diversity Awareness' training programme. The training has been developed to help participants relate to diversity as an individual, rather than an abstract concept and to help people understand diversity as a personal issue.
The content of the course includes defining diversity, exploring the dimensions of diversity, exploring culture and the dimensions of cultures. In 2006 approximately 200 will receive this training. The training programme will be rolled to further staff throughout 2007.
The other initiatives that will be undertaken include:
A summary of the activities scheduled for progression over the period of the plan are detailed in Table 11.1. These activities are designed to complement the initiatives outlined in
Section 8 with regard to the Human Resource function.

Somewhere between the literary obsessiveness and the heroin-haze that, together, consumed his life, William S. Burroughs developed a technique called cut-up writing, which uses fragments of preexisting works and rearranges them to create something new. The results, generally, are dizzying and nonsensical, but wonderfully so: because they are unintelligible, they are glorious.
Long-form improv operates the same way.
But because it assigns its contestants specific challenges, this quality is something Improv Star -- for all its bizarre twists and turns -- tends to stifle. This week, though, the show's first act was comprised of a single scene, the kind of extended, plotless performance that is most conducive to the lucid madness that makes improvisation most interesting. In a grave somewhere, Burroughs must approve.
The long-form started with a location: Hawaii, as per the suggestion of an audience member who'd gotten sick of the bipolar Denver winter. Using that happy setting, the seven remaining audience members started the first of a long, strange series of scenes. A man on a beach reveled in a local pineapple vendor's fruit display, to the chagrin and/or fury of his wife. This grew, somehow, into a toymaker's diabolical plan to reintroduce Raggedy Andy dolls to the streets -- a plan that was derailed when one of the prototypes of the dolls developed an obsession with an old Paddington Bear, with which it eventually chose to mate.

Following this came a tale about a yoga instructor's bad temper, murderous teenage girl's theft of a cop's face, a woman who asks to be buried alive with her zombie husband, a carnival packed with suburban children infected with a pathogen called Bieber, an awkward exchange between two exes, and an overaffectionate woman's invasion of her male friend's bathroom.
When it is given the space, the human psyche creates strange, strange things.
This week's guest judge, Rita Broderick, said she was most interested in physicality and inclusiveness in acting, and both these things were in abundant supply all night. The second act, which reintroduced the standard small group challenges, demanded two things of the contestants: they could not portray humans, and they had to focus on performing physically. This produced a scene about a dog and a tree ("We have so much in common, you and I," the tree said. "Bark?" asked the dog.), one about a pigeon in love with a discarded seatbelt, and one about a parking lot and a mysterious glow-ball generator. By the show's close, the judges decided Rollie Williams was the winner. Jaimie Kulikowski was sent home.

Abu Dhabi: The UAE is the first country in the Middle East to invest in two tailor-made naval vessels each worth over €90 million (Dh450 million) — through a recent partnership with a renowned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri. Fincantieri is present in the UAE through a partnership with Al Fattan Ship Industry.
Apart from their 200 years of shipbuilding experience that involves in manufacturing about 7,000 vessels and cruise ships — Fincantieri has already delivered the two vessels to the UAE Navy.
Gulf News spoke to Fulfaro Achille, head of business development of Fincantieri its upcoming projects with Al Fattan Ship Industries, which has 15 years of experience in the industry including the military sector.
As part of their plan to strengthen their presence in the UAE, Fincantieri formed a joint venture - Etihad Ship Building - with Al Fattan Ship Industries and Melara Middle East.
Etihad Ship Building's production facility is located in Al Fattan's existing production factory line. The project is expected to leverage the capabilities in combat and weapon systems integration. Fincantieri has a 35 per cent stake in the venture whereas Al Fattan Ship Industries owns 51 per cent, and Melara Middle East holds the rest 14 per cent.
"This initiative is part of our collaboration with the UAE Navy in evaluating which types of equipment would be beneficial for the UAE, be it vessels, small submarines, mega-yachts [over 70 metres long] or civil ships," said Achille.
Fincantieri signed their first contract with the UAE Navy in 2009 — to help build the platform and physical installation of the ASW (anti-submarine warfare) Vessel Abu Dhabi Class which is expected to be commissioned by 2012, for the UAE Navy.
The ASW will mainly carry out patrolling and surveillance activities and may be employed in anti-submarine, anti-aircraft and surface activities. The vessel will exchange tactical data in real time with other naval vessels and provide support and shelter for the UAE Navy helicopters.
The many combat systems in ASW include an air and surface surveillance radar and a fire control system.
Second contract
"ASW can be used for defence and attack, and is the first anti-submarine vessel in the Middle East. We're in talks with the UAE Navy for a second similar vessel which takes approximately 20 months to build," Achille said. Fincantieri signed a second contract with the UAE Navy in 2010 to deliver the Stealth Inshore Patrol Vessel — Falaj 2 — which features advanced stealth characteristics.
The vessel is suited to carrying out patrol and surveillance operations to self-defence in case of threats from air, sea and land in national and international scenarios.
"Stealth is capable of hiding and detecting infra-red and radar cross sections. Through our joint venture with our partners — Al Fattan, we plan to build four stealth vessels, the first to be delivered by next year, which is about the same time we will provide our UAE based shipyard with crew training, technical assistance and supply of spare parts," he said.
Fincantieri is also in talks with Kuwait regarding the delivery of 25 to 30 metre aluminium boats. An €80 million project has also been signed with the Iraqi Navy for four patrol vessels.
Fincantieri has a history with countries like India, Brazil and the US.

"Spear in India was just about dedicated warehousing. However, with the advent of GST, we plan to come up with more multi-client warehouses. But we will still have our dedicated warehouses. It will be a fair mix of dedicated and multi-client," said Pankaj Salpekar, head, marketing, Spear Logistics.
While an outlay of 30 crore is planned for the short term, the company's long term plan is to invest 30-40 million over the next three years as the French warehousing player expands Spear's blueprint in India.
"As GST kicks in, our plan is to first rent a large warehouse, which we have rented in Mumbai and we'll do the same thing in Delhi. Then, we have decided to purchase land and build large warehouses of 500,000 sq ft to 800,000 sq ft. This is our long term plan," said Jean Christophe Machet-global CEO of FM Logistics.
The company had bought a majority stake in Pune-based Spear Logistics last year. Logistics giant DHL Supply Chain, part of global player Deutsche Post DHL Group, has already created a firm base for the transition, with an investment plan of 100 million for infrastructure and has already developed multi-client sites facilities in nine locations in India.
"The current average size of a warehouse is around 20,000 sq.ft, with a height of 7-8 metres, which makes it less efficient and sustainable. Also, it is the cubic feet that matters, not so much the square feet. If the warehouse is high, it brings down the cost as well as other inefficiencies, which in turn greatly benefit the customer," said Vikas Anand, MD, DHL Supply Chain, India.
GST is expected to reduce logistics costs by up to 20%, but to benefit from that discount; logistics infrastructure has to be suitably attuned to the new environment after it is implemented.

Be sure to try a Kölsch pale lager, locally brewed in Cologne for over a hundred years!
Holland's sophisticated, modern capital has a rich and fascinating history 700 years in the making. There is no better way to see Amsterdam than by canal boat, cruising through the elegant grachten lined with stately homes dating back to Amsterdam's Golden Age. You'll have free time on your last full day to enjoy the city or perhaps join an optional excursion.
Your vacation ends with a lovely breakfast in Amsterdam, after which you are free to continue your adventure or (gasp!) go home until your next bout of #wanderlove hits you!

Krista's passion for exploration and world travel was ignited in college when she packed her suitcase and moved to Sweden to study International Business for a year. She hopped on a train or plane every weekend from her home in Uppsala and traveled throughout Europe, making new friends and new memories along the way. Soon after her college career ended, she felt the tug of wanderlust again, and this time went even further…to live on the beach down under in a little place called Australia! Krista's traveling habit started stacking up frequent flyer miles and she didn't have a way to organize or utilize all of the points she was earning. So she decided to take matters into her own hands and founded UsingMiles , a company that would help frequent flyers and road warriors become mile moguls. Fast forward to today and you will find Krista engaging with travelers from all over the world to help them find the perfect bag. And of course, planning her next trip.
