That big first winter storm I was all excited about? Well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
"80% chance of snow!" is what I went to bed with last night.
What I woke up with is: very slight evidence of snow. Whether it was a real serious snow or not I wouldn't know, because the wind whipped up a gale during the night, blowing all our snow (if we got it) to Texas. It should be arriving there about noon. There's probably a good dumping of snow in the Owyhee Range 6 miles away... but I can't be sure, as everything but the Rooster Tail foothill is currently visible, and that has a dusting.
And the only difference between a hurricane and the gale that kept me up most of the night, (sleeping in the living quarters of the horse trailer - wind whistling and howling through cracks in the windows, things flapping and popping) was about 70 degrees. Wind storms like this always make me think of, say, the Donner party, part of a wagon train snowbound in the winter of 1846-7 in the Sierra Nevadas and the raging blizzards they lived through, or the storms of the Dust Bowl in the 1930's, in Oklahoma, where the wind howled and moaned and screamed and drove people crazy. Or that hurricane my family and I stayed to weather out in Texas in 1981.
Now, I'm not complaining, mind you, as it's really COLD : ), and especially as the horses appear to be handling it with ease - everybody's heads are buried in the hay out front; the horses in the back Fat/Lame/Naughty pen either have their heads buried in the hay, or their butts backed up against the windbreak. Stormy's hair is standing on end - he feels like a soft woolly bear. In no wind, the hair standing on end creates an airspace around the horse that can trap heat and keep him warm, but when the wind is blowing, it blows away the trapped warm air. But none of them are shivering. And the eating helps keep them warm.
While I'm definitely not complaining, I'd just been hoping, for, say, 2 inches of snow and a 5 mph gust of wind now and then, not a 50 mph gust and no snow on the ground.
But we still have a little chance of snow during the next few days, and the wind will die down, and then the temperature is going to drop... low 20's during the day and teens at night. I don't have my snow yet, but winter is definitely here!

In 1978, John Reuben joined Weneebaykook Limited, a group of seven Cree artists who produced limited edition silk-screen prints, T-shirts and hasti-notes. While there, John became proficient in silk-screening techniques and discovered a flair for wildlife and acrylic painting. Weneebaykook provided him with wide exposure through many exhibitions throughout Canada, the US and Europe. Unfortunately the group disbanded in 1985 and the gallery closed.
At that time, John received the International Youth Year Award for being a volunteer artist in local schools and his work was selected by the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education for book covers for a Native children's reading program in Ontario.
John's donation of an original painting to the local Ducks Unlimited fundraiser in 1987 led to the submission (and first prize win) of his "Close Call-Loon in a Northeastern Regional competition. This fuelled John's interest in auctioning off and selling many original works as well as limited edition prints. He has continued to refine his techniques and experiment with different art media while narrowing his focus from North American wildlife wetlands to the James Bay Lowlands where he finds ideas and inspiration to be limitless.

Images casting shadows of our lives on the smoky canvas wall. Life today, tomorrow and yesterday blend together for all to see and remember. We were here, we belonged. We tried to share. Our fate was written in he fading ink and we vanished, leaving only the marks we had made for others to ponder.
Resilience. You can't force it, you earn it through living it.
But creatively you can give birth to it, resilience comes from experience of life and love. When we get the courage, we write on walls and scraps of paper and breathe into our own vulnerabilities that are passed down from our cultural perspective, our resilience becomes self love, nurturing, beauty and power.
Not being afraid to colour outside the lines of self expression, connecting, energy and spirit, connecting with world creator and artistic self expression, inspirations abound expressing emotions, imagination, using senses lets you open into a magic time.
Sitting in the shadows of a stunted poplar tree I am sheltered from the wind. The rising sun offers little warmth this time of year. I rub my hands together and breathe into them. The steam dances in front of me, like a sweet grass smudge. I bathe in the memories. Inspired it awakened my soul.
Then the long low whistle of the Polar Express brings me back to the present. With a new sense of direction I rise, and follow the tracks of my ancestors northward from Cochran.
But can we still hear them?
Nootahwee stood as he lectured the tribe. I listened and was scared and stopped breathing as he gave instructions.
"The bright sky makes our hunt for Windigo better. We must travel at night by the light of the red moon to have bounty. We will leave before snow settles and the sun is low.
The mission was clear, the windigo must be slay, to save our tribe.
Nothing like the brochure had implied! Finger-painting! Like her grandchild's. She squirmed, scratched her corduroy-clad leg, and considered the images again. They were ancient. Well. Her book club would be jealous. That was something. She moved on, muttering about the tour company's priorities.
The woman beside her watched her go. Then she slowly placed her finger on the vivid red sun. She imagined the faces of those who painted these rock walls. They had lived. Dreamed. Did they see this future?
She closed her eyes, and breathed.
We have become the unseen. Only the tangible reminders like our stories written on stone will remain for a time. They are the stories of our lives, our experiences, our thoughts. They are our monuments to our existence. They are the proof that we are here although we are not seen anymore. What will happen if these disappear? They slowly erode in the face of the elements. Like them we have slowly eroded in the face of progress. Like them we will gradually be turned to dust that spreads across the land to be seen no more for eternity.
Deeply inhaling the smell of horse I slid my arms around the paint's neck. The wind stirred lightly rustling fallen leaves. My steed's ears pricked forward. With a gentle nudge he chose a quiet trot but within several strides the magnificent animal broke into an easy lope.
Holding firmly with both hands to the flowing mane I straitened my posture. Forest flew by as did villages of teepees and families taking part in the beauty of all things natural.
With an unnecessary rudeness a lightning flash woke me and I was once again sadly in the present.
In sacred places their spirits return and our souls are awakened. Our ancestors share their stories. Their voices resonate in our souls. They watch as we learn about the important seasons of life, and lessons from their lives. They plant seeds of knowledge and as the seeds grow we become one. Only then can we be aware of who we are destined to be.
Grim and silent, the returning warrior stands with face streaked black and hair unkempt. Trophy feathers once awarded for bravery, rest askew on his head. No glory now. Gone too are family and home – only skeletons remain. Eyes. His haunting piercing eyes warn of pain and suffering. His finger points at the life-giving sun. Look closely. Like him, it is damaged, broken.
All around is red. Blood. Blood. Death and destruction. What was it all for? This war.
But the cycle repeats itself endlessly. Already waiting, a younger man still full of certainty prepares to make the same mistake.
It is the sun, my son. But that isn't all. It is the stories we tell, but that isn't all. It is the friends we make, but that isn't all. It is the family we share, but that isn't all. It is the ancestor's guidance, but that isn't all. What it is, is inside of you. But it is outside too. You must look inside yourself for truth, but you must listen to the Universe for truth as well. You must know yourself, but be open to others. You must always move forward, but be mindful of your past.
Writing on walls is as old as writing itself.
Storytelling is older. The elders pass down what they know about love and survival. They paint from their heart, from their lives well lived. Yes, all lives have grief and demands. Then all lives have joy and acceptance.
Home and animals and feathers denote who we are.
Cave paintings show us that others have been there before us. We are not inventing anything. We are learning to know who we are by living on the planet and taking cues from the past. Art comes from the heart. Focus on the good.
The air stabbed at my southern lungs like tiny daggers, forcing me to take quick shallow breaths. Looking up at that vast sky exploding with stars against an infinite blackness, I began to feel vertiginous, and I thought of that old history book map of Canada before Canada, and the pink ink blot called Rupert's Land that spilled across a third of the land mass, on into the western foothills, and bleeding down into present day U.S.A.—and I imagined it lifting me off the page and carrying me, spinning into some orbit beyond any reckoning I could make.
Rotating in empty space the earth has many stories to tell. Its known unspeakable violence and deathly silence in the cold emptiness of an airless planet. Now look closely to see how the weathered granite mirrors the past when ancient man inscribed his observations for all to see.
The delicate movement of primal hands revealed a world long gone when fierce animals roamed freely. Now computer chips in our fast paced world lead us away from our human connections to the emptiness of a cold technology devoid of human warmth.
Has this become our rock to leave future generations?
Behind the hieroglyphics lie ancient customs, ancient traditions and ancient tribes that were in unison with Nature's ways and creatures. Careless outsiders from other counties invaded the land of these Peoples and the invaders lacked understanding of Nature's balance and in so doing all was lost. Or was it?
Dear Mr. Jim Lumbers, for what it's worth, the theme of your contribution inspired mine. Cheers. P. S. Here's hoping you can make it to the 'Herb's Harum' next month.
Dear Jenny Lamothe, I am struck by your last line, namely, "Lines settled," for it is devilishly rich in subtle entendres. Cheers, Steve.
Gave their progeny a mountain to climb.
Such as the myth of the Blackfoot sun god.
With herd of buffalos, dogs and teepees.
Blood brothers watching over the reserves, Their feathered headdresses frozen in time.
Defending their lands, lives and liberties.
"My people face starvation." Takoda stared into the fire and waited.
Takoda followed Mongwau to the river. A huge cliff ascended toward the Sky World. Takoda stood transfixed.
Throughout many days, Mongwau instructed Takoda in the interpretation of the sacred paintings.
"My quest begins at first light," Takoda said.
Mel shrugged, then turned to inspect the rock wall closely. Two red horses, the latter of which lacked a tail, pranced under a red sun. Below them stood another horse, in red outline only, beneath a thin red crescent. Mel closed his eyes and conjured an image of two First Nations men. Wrinkles framed the wizened one's eyes whose mouth stretched thin under broad nostrils. The elder pointed to the sun and explained the picture's meaning to the expectant younger man … as Mel would now attempt to do for his son.
** CONTEST CLOSED ** Good luck to all who entered! Stay tuned for our November contest, coming soon.


A cardiac MRI is an investigation to image your heart structure and function in detail using a strong magnetic field. A cardiac MRI is particularly useful to help with the diagnosis of certain heart muscle abnormalities such as cardiomyopathies.
You will be asked to lie on a special couch so that the MRI can scan around your chest. The machine can be noisy so you will be given headphones to wear. You will need to hold your breath for 10 seconds to keep your chest still. Sometimes an injection of a contrast (gadolinium) is given to highlight parts of the heart.
There is no radiation risk with an MRI. You need to tell the MRI department if you have any implants or metal objects in your body, particularly a pacemaker. Allergic reactions to the contrast are uncommon.
After you have had your cardiac MRI, the images will be analysed and a report generated, usually within seven days.


For Cynthia's brand styling, we carved out a special place between approachability and luxury. The colors offer a soft, authentic feeling while the font palette is is a mix of confidence and luxury. To amplify the feeling or authenticity and heart-driven content, we utilized polaroids and nature-driven imagery. The end result is a site that's full of support, confidence and elegance with an editorial feeling.


Today, I took a course at the prestigious Ecole des Arts Joaillers (School of Jewelry Arts) supported by Van Cleef & Arpels and I absolutely loved it.
The school, was created five years ago, in 2012, in the premises of Van Cleef & Arpels, place Vendôme, with the goal of introducing the world of jewelry to the general public. The school offers some 20 classes, in both French and English, around three broad themes : Savoir-Faire, the World of Gems and the Art History of Jewelry.
The course I attend was precisely about the history and legends of diamonds. The class was conducted by a gemologist, Inezita Gay and an art historian, Gislain Aucremanne, both fascinating. They told us the stories of the most fabulous diamonds which made their mark on history and showed us their replicas. I must admit that I never saw such wonders. I also didn't realize that, hundreds years ago, men were the ones who wear diamonds in order to get strength, power, virility and also protection. The class was fascinating and I felt blessed to be able to attend it. At the end of the morning, we even received a certificated! Fabulous!
No doubt I will come back very soon to attend another class. I am very curious to find out how jewels are created; there is a course, "From design to mock-up", which seems just perfect for that.
Oh, by the way, if you happen to be in Paris right now, you may want to go and see their current installation "The fabulous destiny of Tavernier's diamonds", a historical reconstitution of 20 exceptional diamonds acquired by Louis XIV. They are said to be "the most beautiful ever". It's free and it's just breathtaking. For more information on these beauties, you may click here.
Nb: these courses can make a great present. The school has several packages.
Our beautiful classroom and our amazing teachers.

THE MAP OF TIME by Felix Palma
Posted on May 22, 2011 by Matt Craig
THE MAP OF TIME
Felix Palma
Translated by Nick Caistor
HarperCollins (www.harpercollins.co.uk)
Released: 9 June 2011
I'm a big fan of fiction that uses actual historical figures or events as part of its fabric. Fiction like Caleb Carr's The Alienist or Matthew Pearl's The Dante Club. So, I was excited when Felix Palma's The Map of Time landed on my desk and I discovered that H.G. Wells and Joseph Merrick, a.k.a. The Elephant Man, were amongst its seemingly vast cast of characters. The Map of Time is the first of Palma's novels to be translated into English.
As one reads, it soon becomes clear that The Map of Time is less of a conventional novel, and more a trilogy of interconnected stories, all of which have a number of things in common: they all feature to a lesser or greater degree the author H.G. Wells, and the fictional entrepreneur Gilliam Murray; they are all set in London, 1896; and they are all constructed around the central theme of time travel.
The first part of the novel concerns Andrew Harrington, a man on the verge of suicide, having spent eight years trying to come to terms with the death of his lover, the prostitute Marie Kelly, the last victim of Jack the Ripper. His cousin, sensing his intentions saves him from the fatal self-inflicted bullet, and introduces him to Gilliam Murray, proprietor of Murray's Time Travel, in the hope that Murray can help Harrington travel back to 1888 and change the course of history. Unable to help, Murray directs the pair to the home of H.G. Wells, a man who recently shot to fame with the publication of his novel The Time Machine. Wells, as it turns out, has an exact replica of the very machine from his novel stashed in his attic – a working copy, no less – and agrees to help young Harrington out.
Part two tells us the story of Claire Haggerty and Tom Blunt, a pair of lovers who, it seems, are trapped in different periods of time. It is also the story of Murray and his time travel company, and begins to reveal something about the relationship that exists between Murray and Wells.
In the closing part of the book, a traveller from the far future summons Wells, Henry James and Bram Stoker to an old abandoned house with a dark history in the centre of London and tells them that their lives are in danger: a man from the future will, within the year, publish three novels under his own name. Those novels are The Invisible Man, The Turn of the Screw and Dracula. And, as Wells soon discovers, the only way this traveller will be able to get away with this is if the original authors are dead.
The novels gets off to a promising start. The Harrington section is concisely told. The language is beautiful, whether because of Palma's original Spanish or Caistor's translation – it's an old-fashioned story told in an old-fashioned tone, by a narrator who has a tendency to break the fourth wall, which makes it almost like listening to one of Grandad's old yarns.
Unfortunately, the rest of the book fails to live up to this excellent start. The story encapsulated in the middle section is interesting, and well-told, but somewhat overlong. Here, Grandad's old yarn turns into that story he always tells when he's in his cups, and everyone rolls their eyes, wishing for him to reach the point so they can talk about something more interesting. What is perhaps most disappointing, though, is that the third section seems totally unrelated to the first two, except that they share some characters and a plot device: namely time travel.
Here's how it looks to me: Palma saw an interesting device in an early episode of Heroes (you'll know it when you come across it, if you've seen the first season or two of the show), constructed a story around his own version of this device centred around the novelist H.G. Wells, introduced a couple of incidental characters and came up with a neatly-packaged, exciting story that ran about 150 pages. Then, in order to flesh out some of the incidental characters he produced a whopping 350 pages of backstory which had absolutely no bearing on the original story.
Which is not to say The Map of Time is a bad novel. It is, by no stretch of the imagination, a great novel, but it's not bad. A bit on the long side, and could do with some trimming, but the first and last parts are worth the price of admission alone. Just don't expect them to be the first and last parts of the same story. Forewarned, as they say, is forearmed.

One thought on "THE MAP OF TIME by Felix Palma"
Milo Rambles says:
I still have this to read, hope to get around to it shortly. It's a big book and finding the time is hard – however I do like the idea behind it. Excellent review.

It goes without saying that Zach Erdem is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the Hamptons. He runs two of the hottest restaurants and most exclusive clubs on the South Fork, 75 Main, AM Southampton, Kozu, and Kozu Lounge (formerly Summer House), not to mention European-style boutique Hotel Ze. What you may not know, is that he's built every bit of this hospitality empire himself. And there's more to come.
Zach came to the US from Turkey in 2002, seeking new opportunities. He started as a bartender at the first restaurant he went to in the Hamptons, 75 Main. He continued working and traveling all over the states until returning to buy 75 Main in 2010. 75 Main has been a Southampton institution for more than 70 years. Known for its award winning brunch, Zach has made it into a year-round dining destination. And after dinner, 75 Main transforms into an exclusive lounge, packed with a who's who of the Hamptons. They're open 24 hours on the weekends.
Talking to Zach yesterday, I got a few little known facts from him. He goes to farmstands every morning himself, thursday through sunday, and develops the daily specials based on what he finds. He likes Hank's in the Hamptons, but really loves taking a drive to the North Fork for the best selection. He has one farm he goes to for their chicken and eggs, one for tomatoes and one for the melons in the watermelon salad at 75 Main. His picks are displayed on the bar, and you can actually choose your own produce for your meal. Heirloom tomato and mozzarella anyone?
Last summer, Erdem expanded his reach, taking over the Nello Summertime space and opening the wildly popular Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant Kozu. He tells me they're sold out every weekend, but if you're a regular to his restaurants, you will find your way in. If you can't get in on Saturday, definitely try it during the week. The décor is incredibly chic, featuring art by Sports Illustrated photographer Raphael Mazzucco. The sushi is amazing, and the lobster is almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Erdem has homes in Miami and NYC, but calls Southampton his home base. He travels as much as he can in the 'off season' as it were. He loves Miami to unwind, New York is more for meetings. He starts in December, looking for staff for the following summer. He also loves Mykonos and St. Tropez, telling me he likes to be in the hot spots, and says he plans to expand internationally in the next year.
Erdem clearly loves his job, and has the stamina for it. He splits his time between 75 Main and Kozu, often running back and forth every half hour, greeting regulars and first-timers alike. He says he's grateful for his customers, and thinks of them as family. "I know without them, I wouldn't have my business." But lucky for us, he does!
75 Main, 75 Main St, Southampton; Kozu, 136 Main St, Southampton.


And I believe it is so.
Haha, piece of photography, a cute pup, and a lovely lady named Carol. Sums things up?
Shadows have always interested me. Playing with the light flashes, doing silhouette drawings from tracing our shadows, and trying to run & jump onto your own while outside.
Always feared I'd catch the Peter Pan effect, with a run away shadow.
I'm going to take a guess and say the shadow is maybe a plant on a window sil?
A mystery shadow, it looks almost like a ship. It makes me wants to go exploring.
A sailboat off into the sunset?
Nice - I love the way people find pictures everywhere.

I had a number of conversations recently that inspired this put up. In both circumstances, the ladies wished to transition from working full time to operating a profitable business. In each cases, the ladies were holding on to their jobs a bit too long. This was my opinion. I primarily based the opinion on personal expertise.

Work finally starts on Fosters' new Seagram neighbour
3 March, 2014 By Richard Waite
Show Fullscreen
Foster + Partners' proposed new skyscraper behind Muies van der Rohe's Seagram building
Foster + Partners' proposed new skyscraper behind Mies van der Rohe's Seagram building (February 2006)
Construction has finally begun on Foster + Partner's long-awaited 61-storey skyscraper behind Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building in New York
More from: Work finally starts on Fosters' new Seagram neighbour
The residential tower at 610 Lexington Avenue, which was first revealed eight years ago as a mixed-used hotel and apartment tower, will be 60m taller than its 1958 neighbour.
Replacing the old YWCA building in Midtown Manhattan, the project is backed by Aby Rosen - the owner of the Seagram Building - and Chinese residential property developer Vanke.
When the proposal was first in 2006 unveiled it came in for criticism from Phyllis Lambert, the daughter of Samuel Bronfman, the former president of distiller Joseph E Seagram & Sons. Lambert, who worked with Mies van der Rohe on the Seagram Building, had fears about the height of the Fosters' scheme and feared the 'engineering of such a tall, thin building [would be] problematic.'
Chris Connell, a partner at Foster + Partners admitted the tower was very slender but claimed the design had a 'timeless beauty' and that the scheme had been considered as part of the wider tableau.
He said: 'It's not simply about our new tower, but the composition it creates with one of the 20th century's greatest buildings. Sitting alongside the dark bronze of the Seagram Building, our tower will have a crisp undulating skin. Its proportions appear impossibly slim and the views will be just incredible,"
Connell added: 'Simplicity of design is often the hardest thing to achieve, but in a sophisticated market, people appreciate the timeless beauty that comes from it.
'Our design philosophy has always been holistic, extending from the overall architecture to the quality of individual details – the interiors will blend seamlessly with the exterior approach.'
Foster + Partners' proposed new skyscraper behind Mies van der Rohe's Seagram building (February 2006)
The architect's view
'This 61-storey residential tower at 610 Lexington Avenue continues the practice's investigations into the nature of the tall building in New York, exploring the dynamic between the city and its skyline. Located on the corner of Lexington and 53rd Street, it replaces the old YWCA building in Midtown Manhattan.
'Formally, it responds to the precedent set by two neighbouring twentieth-century Modernist icons – SOM's 21-storey Lever House of 1952 and Mies van der Rohe's 38-storey Seagram Building of 1958. In the spirit of Mies's philosophy of rationality, simplicity and clarity, the tower has a slender, minimalist geometric form, designed to complement these distinguished neighbours.
'The entrance is recessed beneath a canopy that sits harmoniously alongside the entrance and pavilion of the Seagram Building. The entry sequence continues on a single plane from the street to reveal a glazed atrium that joins the tower to a smaller building on the right. The smaller building houses a bar and restaurant, a spa and swimming pool, the tower contains lounge areas and apartment levels. From the floor of the atrium, the tower rises up like a soaring vertical blade, the view up creating a sense of drama and reinforcing the connection between the summit and the ground.
'Some of the larger apartments occupy the entire floor area of the higher levels. The tower's slender form creates a narrow floor plate, allowing the interior spaces to be flooded with daylight and creating spectacular views across the city from every side. An innovative glazed skin wraps around the building, concealing the structural elements which are further masked beneath integratedshadow boxes. To preserve the smooth appearance of the facade, opening vents in the glazing flap discreetly inwards. The effect is a sheer envelope that shines in brilliant contrast to the dark bronze of the Seagram building.'
Previous story (AJ 09.02.2006)
Seagram awaits Foster's arrival
Somehow, Norman Foster's plans for a 62-storey tower behind the Seagram Building in New York have managed to duck the media spotlight.
Perhaps the local press is too concerned with Foster's other projects, such as the Hearst Building and his Ground Zero proposals, to worry about the potential impact of the 216m skyscraper on Mies van der Rohe's seminal office block.
If the scheme gets the go-ahead, the mixed-used hotel and apartment tower will soar nearly 60m above the Seagram Building.
Foster and Partners' design team, led by Brandon Haw, insists the skyscraper will not detract from the singular form of Mies' masterpiece, seen by many as the forerunner to thousands of copycat corporate headquarters around the world.
Backed by Aby Rosen, the owner of the Seagram Building, the scheme has already secured the unanimous support of the city's Municipal Art Society and Landmarks Preservation Commission, which approved a transfer of air rights from the eastern side of the 1958 tower.
Rosen has also promised to restore the Seagram building and its plaza on Park Avenue.
However, Foster is not the first to attempt to build on the plot, which is currently occupied by a YWCA building.
In the '70s, architect Phyllis Lambert, who picked Mies and Philip Johnson to mastermind the original Seagram project, also drew up designs for the site, but her plans for a low-rise hotel were turned down.
The daughter of Samuel Bronfman, the former president of distiller Joseph E Seagram & Sons, Lambert had been worried about air-rights issues.
Now she is unconvinced by the height of Foster's proposals: 'Foster is capable of making a very beautiful building [but] the height is of concern and the engineering of such a tall, thin building [will be] problematic.' Lambert is not alone. The city's Historic Districts Council (HDC) also feels the skyscraper 'would have a significant and negative impact on the Seagram Building'.
The organisation was worried that the new skyscraper would compete with Mies' building and damage key views of 'this internationally recognised landmark'.
Speaking about Foster's presentation image, HDC spokesman Simeon Bankoff says: 'While there [was] a depiction of the 'iconic view', it did not represent the view from across the street from, where this building would be highly visible and loom over 375 Park.' Foster argues this 'loom' effect will be dampened by the distance between the towers.
The so-called 'hidden bustle' behind Mies' block means the Foster scheme will sit at least 36m back from the original tower, a country mile in New York terms.
Whatever the concerns about the proposals, one thing is almost universally agreed on.
If anyone is to design a skyscraper on the site, Foster is the right man to do it.
Mies admirer and architectural collector Lord Palumbo is in no doubt about that: 'I would not be confident if the building was designed by almost any other hand.'
Foster's New York skyscraper 'could change following opposition'

ALLERGEN WARNING: Produced in a facility that handles wheat, soy, milk and shellfish (glucosamine).
Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid and one of the most abundant amino acids in the body (comprising approximately 30% of amino acids in the plasma).
HELPS the Body Repair and Recover from Training
MINIMIZES Catabolism
REDUCES Muscle Soreness
INCREASES Protein Synthesis and Nitrogen Retention
BOOSTS Immune System
It is usually classified as a conditionally essential amino acid, as it is produced by the body, but during periods of extreme stress or trauma, it is released from the body and may need to be replenished. Glutamine is naturally found in beans, poultry, fish and dairy products. The majority of Glutamine is produced in the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Additionally, glutamine is synthesized in the lungs, liver and brain. It is predominately used for fuel by the small intestines, immune system, hair follicles and the gastrointestinal tract.
Glutamine supplementation is beneficial during periods of stress, such as after training
Glutamine ensures the body remains in a state of anabolism. For those who train, supplementing with glutamine ensures the body's stores of this important amino acid are optimized and the skeletal muscle size is maintained. Working out can lead to suppression of the immune system. Intense exercise can quickly deplete glutamine in the muscle cells causing the immune system to weaken and decreases the body's levels of glutamine. Research has shown that supplementation with glutamine can alleviate the decline of glutamine concentration in the bloodstream following intense exercise.
Glutamine May Diminish Catabolism
Glutamine also helps to diminish catabolism caused by an increase in the stress hormone cortisol, which is elevated during exercise. A recent study conducted on the effects of glutamine on the muscle found that glutamine actually blocks the action of cortisol's interference with muscle protein synthesis and repair. This study shows that glutamine can provide an anti-catabolic effect which is beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders. Glutamine supplementation has been found to help elevate glutamine levels in the body and produce an anti-catabolic effect. It can minimize the amount of muscle breakdown and can be particularly helpful when consumed after working out, when catabolism is at its peak.
ALLMAX Glutamine is manufactured with the purest raw ingredients at a Pharmaceutical Grade Manufacturing facility
ALLMAX Nutrition® Japanese Micronized Glutamine provides recovery after training and enhances the immune system that can be compromised during intense exercise. ALLMAX uses proprietary GLUTASURE® technology to minimize the particle size of the glutamine, creating a clean, white and extremely fine powder.

The compliance and monitoring team receives many complaints in a year, from members of the public, elected members, local members of parliament, officers within the council and other professional agencies.
The council aims to log and acknowledge a request for an enforcement investigation within 3 days. Shortly afterwards, a second letter, either requesting more information, or giving you the name of the enforcement officer handling the case will be sent. If the additional information requested is not supplied, the investigation may not be commenced.
We aim to make a decision on 70% of cases within 12 weeks of the case being valid (ie the date that the request for an investigation, providing sufficient information, was received). This does not mean that the case is necessary closed: for example, if the decision is to take some sort of enforcement action, there is likely to be a lengthy period before the case can be finally concluded.
Officers will endeavour to keep you up to date with what is happening. For some cases, it may appear that nothing is happening for extended periods but this may be because there is time given for a property owner to comply with a notice, or an appeal may have been lodged.
You will be informed of the outcome of the investigation.
Officers will respond swiftly on receipt of a report of unauthorised work to a listed building or tree, or demolition of a building in a conservation area.


Dark Circles Since the skin in this area is thinner, dilated blood vessels become more apparent. We tend to notice dark circles more when we don't get enough sleep, which causes the skin to appear paler and the pigment underneath more visible. Dark circles can also be a result of inflammation in the sinus cavity.… Continue reading What You Can Do For Dark Circles!!!
How to: Finding Your Skin's Undertone!!!

There is still no real scientific basis that reading minds is possible. Some psychics claim to read minds but science explains such ability as merely reading body language or making educated guesses from the person's statements. Reading the minds of people just like a psychic can actually be learned and practiced. Learn and practice the psychic's technique and how they use it to make accurate guesses.
Make the person who you are mindreading comfortable around you. Show body language that will ease the person. You should smile a lot and show interest in the person. Keep your arms unfolded and your body and feet should point towards theirs to show openness.
See if the person feels relaxed. Gauge how relaxed they are by reading their palms like a psychic reader. Shake their hands and observe if they are cold and clammy or hot and sweaty. If so, these signs indicate unease.
Study the person's face. Keenly observe the upper portion of the face. For example, a fake smile does not crease the eyes. Even if the person seems smiling, he or she may be really be feeling nervous and skeptical.
Fish for valuable information. You could do this by making a general statement that will help you fish for information. Prepare sentences that are vague and can be applied to anyone and at any time. Examples: "You seem to be worried about something, aren't you?" or "Something is bothering your mind lately."
Listen carefully. The person's responses can be used to your advantage and help you "read minds" apparently. Once the person gets emotional, you know you hit a nerve. But if the person does not react, you should switch to another subject. One way of doing this is using a psychic trick known as the Barnum reading, a method named after P.T. Barnum. This trick essentially provides the listener what they want to hear. This could be in a form of general information and descriptions that are applicable to most people (see Step four). Use leading questions or even handed statements. Watch out for physical signs of recognition so you know what to zero on in.
Observe the person's body language, including expressions like the blinking of eyes and nodding of the head. For example, the person who lies when he says he's not worried about something will nod head up and down as if to hide the denial.
You should ask the person about something almost everyone has in common like a box of old photos then use the response to get more information. Other items that people can identify with are: scar on the knee, a meaningful piece of jewelry, childhood incident involving water, and unmatched keys.
Learn how to interpret basic body language. A person who has his hands clasped behind his back is confident. A person who crosses his arms indicates dislike or guardedness. A person with his thumbs hooked in his pocket is showing his sexual availability. This is interpreted the same way with a woman who plays with her hair or who entwines her legs. A person's pupil grows larger when he or she is excited. Biting one's nails shows nervousness.
Try to mirror a person's movements. This will establish intimacy with the person and it will not only help you to read a person's mind better, it will make them more prone to opening up to you.
You now have plenty of information about the person and it would seem that you can read people's minds just like a psychic.

The capital pension funds have is the trust people place in them
Trust is the capital of the pension funds
echo interview with Pascal Jenny, Director of the Arosa Tourist Board
elipsLife echo: Mr Jenny, what prompted Arosa Tourism to establish the Humour Festival? Are Arosa's inhabitants the funniest people in Graubünden?
Pascal Jenny: For us at Arosa, humour is an important topic and part of our day-to-day routine. That being said, the Humour Festival has a purely business rationale. About 30 years ago, Arosa created the so-called 'Wedel Weeks" for people who wanted to test their skis in the first snow at the beginning of December. When interest in the Wedel Weeks began to diminish, there was a search for alternatives. And because at that time comedy opportunities were cropping up, the idea was born to do something around the theme of comedy and humour. So 26 years ago, we founded the Arosa Humour Festival. This event now attracts around 20,000 visitors to Arosa.
Besides the Humour Festival, are there other reasons why we Swiss should spend our next vacation in Arosa?
Of course there are! In Arosa, we live in a kind of paradise. In the face-paced, hectic times we live in, Arosa has a number of attractive features to offer. Its location at the end of the valley, its special charm and the experience alone of travelling from Chur to Arosa via a road with 365 bends in it – all these factors together constitute the mystique of the village. In Arosa, you have the feeling that you're far removed from your daily routine. During the cold months of the year – thanks to its location 1,800 metres above sea level – the village offers an appropriate winter experience: no roads swept clean of snow, and from December to mid-February the whole village decked in white. Moreover, from June 2018, Arosa will be the only place in the Alps where you can watch bears in their natural environment.
Don't the events you're talking about run counter to the advertised classic features of an Alpine location, like a pristine mountain environment, hiking, nature and tranquility?
Not at all. Anyone staying in Arosa while one of our events is in progress notices straightaway that this question doesn't even arise. For example, every year at the end of August we stage the Arosa Classic Car exhibition. With around 170 antique vehicles on show and between 20 and 25,000 visitors, this is really our noisiest event. Now if you're in Arosa while this event is going on and looking at cars is not your thing, then inside 10 minutes you can escape to nature and perfect peace – in fact the total absence of engine noise and classic car nostalgia. And I should add that even those people that look for peace and quiet do crave entertainment from time to time.
What is the share of Swiss visitors to Arosa?
In recent years, we've been able to boost the share of Swiss visitors from around 60% to almost 70%. And this despite the perception that holidaying in Switzerland – also for Swiss nationals – is supposed to be expensive. Then we have 15% of visitors from Germany, 5% from the Benelux countries and 10% from all corners of the world. It's our foreign guests especially that appreciate our events. The annual Gay Week in January even attracts visitors from Australia, whereas our Classic Car show is a big draw for English tourists.
And how is business spread between the summer and winter seasons?
Seventy percent of our revenue, including overnight stays, is generated during the winter months and 30% in the summer. Up to now, the summer season always brought with it the disadvantage of our Arosa's altitude, which frequently triggered wintry snow showers. Now the warming climate and heatwaves in the lowland areas are opening up real opportunities for good summer business in the higher locations.
Currently, what constitute the biggest challenges for the tourist industry?
By far the most concerning, in my view, is to find out which channels we should use to market our products. Conventional wisdom says the way to do this is via tv commercials and billboard advertising. But I don't think these tools go far enough nowadays. I've been with Arosa for almost 10 years now and my experience tells me that the secret of success is to make your presence felt on the right platforms. And it's our events that form our most effective platform.
…and the bright prospects?
It has to do with collaboration, no question. When I started with Arosa and dared mention the words Davos or St. Moritz, people gave me strange looks. Now these three locations together operate one company whose aim is to break into the Chinese market. We've realized that together we can accomplish more. We've also realized our competitors are not Davos and St. Moritz but rather the river cruise and shipping companies whose vessels each generate roughly as many overnight stays per year as we do as tourist destination.
The citizens of Arosa not only have a soft spot for humour but also for animals. They show this affection through their broad support of the Bear Country Project. How many additional visitors do you think the animal protection and tourism project will attract to Arosa as of summer 2018?
We expect 80,000 to 100,000 additional visitors every summer, a two-fold increase over the numbers today. There are historical reasons why the project has enjoyed such broad-based support. Arosa's legendary "Eichhörnchenweg" (Squirrel Way) is still popular today. Around 50,000 walkers explore this forest path every summer. In doing so, they develop a relationship with animals and associate this relationship with Arosa. This was the reason why it's long been our plan to drive forward this animal initiative. When the opportunity arose with the Bear Country Project, we didn't hesitate.
Holiday regions abroad, especially in Austria, have been courting Swiss tourists for several years now. Arosa has been able to respond to the challenge. How successful has this effort been?
Our main market is Switzerland, and now foreign tourist regions are competing with us on our home turf. This is smart because they're targeting customers just next door, who know a good offer when they see one and who are not overly critical. It's perfectly logical that our Austrian friends advertise their product in Switzerland. That hurts our business and we're confronting the challenge. Our "all inclusive skiing school" is a case in point. We're investing around a million francs a year so that we can offer free skiing lessons to our hotel and holiday apartment guests.
Isn't it actually Swiss Tourism's job to rise to the challenge of foreign advertising?
I would love Swiss Tourism to make its presence felt more strongly in those very markets abroad that are making such a play for Swiss holidaymakers. I would also welcome Swiss Tourism's support for major events with a strong international appeal. I'm thinking, for example, of Zürich's World Class Light Athletics Meeting. This could function as a fabulous calling card for the whole country. Supporting international personalities, such as Roger Federer, would also be very effective.
What does a successful entrepreneur need to bring to the table in your view?
For me, three qualities have to be front and centre: Firstly flexibility, because our faced-paced world demands swift action. Secondly, you have to be a role model because people are motivated when they see that you actually live the principles you espouse. And, thirdly, you need courage to stand by your opinion and to push this through even in the face of opposition. So consistency is an important cornerstone of entrepreneurial success.
The hotel and catering business admittedly creates a lot of jobs, but it does count among the low-wage industries. The same goes for cable railway and ski-lift employees. How significant is old-age provisioning in this sector?
It's only very few people who think about the consequences for their retirement security when they don't earn very much or only work during the season. There are probably two reasons for this: Many of these jobs are done by young people straight out of school or college who are not concerned about the future 40 years down the road. On the other side, we also have older employees who work on the ski-lifts for example, and do these jobs out of passion and haven't bothered about saving for old age. We also have to take a hard look at our own actions here and admit that we haven't done enough to broach this topic.
Switzerland's well-proven 3-pillar system is the envy of other nations. What needs to happen to ensure this system remains sustainable into the future.
The balanced combination of government, occupational and private provisioning has to be secured for the future. We shouldn't allow any conflating of the three pillars. It's important, too, that the third pillar remain as flexible as possible so it can be adapted to individuals' changing circumstances during their family and professional lives. You can't demand evermore flexibility from employees without first making the statutory framework more flexible.
In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges facing the second pillar?
Wage levels in Switzerland, even in the low-wage sectors, are very high compared to other countries. We feel the direct impact of this situation in the tourism and catering industry. For this reason, we shouldn't drive up wage costs still more through increased charges for occupational pension schemes. In addition, occupational schemes are funded by the employer and employee through contributions from wages and salaries. These contributions grow in size with the increasing age of the employee. This system affects the employability of older workers and should be abolished.
Should the state provide more support for the third pillar in order to take pressure off the first and second?
I don't believe that any of the pillars should receive additional support. But it is important that the third pillar is not hampered or put under pressure. Old-age provisioning depends crucially on trust and predictability. So, notwithstanding the need for flexibility, we shouldn't always be tinkering with the parameters, but rather establishing clear framework conditions and applying these consistently in the long term.
Isn't there a danger that the low interest-rate environment and demographic development could destabilize the second pillar especially and lead to a situation where we all fall victim to promises of benefits we can't finance?
Some of the promises of future benefits are just not realistic and we won't be able to fulfill them in full measure in the future. There are compelling reasons, therefore, to adjust the conversion rate and create a mechanism that enables adjustments to be made in the future. Perhaps we should all simply realise that in future it won't just be automatically possible to maintain the same standard of living in retirement we had when we were working. Our very high standard of living means that we all can afford to tighten our belts a little. I'm fully aware, of course, that only non-politicians can express views like this…
Is it fair to expect current retirees to do their part in recapitalising the old-age pension system – or are already acquired pension rights a taboo topic?
What do you mean by fair? In principle, it's not fair to take away something that was promised in the past. That being said, nothing is set in stone nowadays. In the future, everything's going to become even more variable and unpredictable. Pension recipients, too, live in a changing society and consequently have to put up with its upheavals like everyone else. So as I said, we all have to be flexible and courageous enough to accept certain sacrifices so that the overall system remains viable in the future. It follows, then, that there has to be a relationship of trust between pension recipients and the providers of the benefits. This is the only way to build understanding for adjustments to benefits payments.
If you could give the pension funds in Switzerland some advice, what would it be?
I'm not a pension fund expert so I can't claim to provide any pertinent advice on the matter. However, as a citizen, employee, leader of a company with 35 people on the payroll and a parent, I would counsel pension funds to communicate in an honest and open fashion. In the grind of daily business, people tend to push old-age provisioning topics to the back of their minds. For this reason, pension funds should reach out to their customers and explain what's happening with the retirement capital, and in way that can be understood by non-insurance experts. They need to take the concerns of employees seriously and do more to raise awareness of old-age provisioning among the population at large. An open and candid dialogue builds the fundamental trust necessary here. And trust constitutes the real capital pension funds have.

About our climate, and the latest forecast
The Small Isles Weather
The Small Isles climate: mild, wet and windy but with above average sunshine!
yr.no: Forecast for Small Isles
The Small Isles's climate, like the climate of Western Scotland generally is milder than that of Eastern Scotland due to the stronger maritime influence. Not only are the prevailing winds blowing from the sea but there is also the influence of the warm Gulf Stream which allows many temperate species such as Dragon Palm trees or New Zealand daisies to thrive in sheltered areas on the islands' gardens. Without the Gulf Stream, the Small isles would have a very much colder climate like Canada's Labrador where the sea freezes in winter at a similar latitude!
Averages for the Small Isles
With winds mainly blowing from the sea the annual mean temperatures are in the range 9.4 to 9.7°C in western coastal areas, similar to that found in western Ireland. The sea reaches its lowest temperature in February or early March so that on average February is the coldest month. In February the mean daily minimum temperature can go down to 1.6°C, with average winter temperature of 5 to 7°C.
Like the rest of the Hebrides, the Small Isles get very little frost: less than 25 days a year, compared with 40 days on the coast of the mainland and more than 80 over the higher ground of the Southern Uplands and Highlands. If there is snow, it rarely lies for long and always comes within the period December to March. July and August are the warmest months in the region with mean daily maxima ranging from less than 14.6°C on the highest ground to more than 18.5°C. Although in recent years, it has not been unusual to experience peaks of 25°C, instances of extreme high temperatures are rare and are associated with hot air brought from mainland Europe on south easterly winds, accompanied by strong sunshine.
Out of the 4 islands, Canna and Muck being the lowest lying islands are slightly warmer, whilst Rum mountainous peaks means a light fall in temperature due to altitude.
As the number of hours of bright sunshine is controlled by the length of day, December is the dullest month in the Small Isles whilst May and June are the sunniest, particularly the first half of the month. There is very little darkness in June, and the sky is still light at 11 pm! There is 4 hours more daylight in the Small Isles than in London at midsummer, although this is reversed in midwinter.
As low lying islands, Muck and Canna with Eigg in third pace and Rum fourth, the Small Isles are amongst the the sunniest parts of Western Scotland, where the average annual sunshine totals approach 1450 hours. Neighbouring Tiree as the lowest lying island in the Hebrides is the sunniest place in Scotland with a highest monthly sunshine total of 329 hours being recorded in May 1975!
As rainfall tends to be associated with Atlantic depressions, and these tends to be more vigorous in autumn and winter, most of the rain which falls in those seasons is from this source. During this period, the islands are also prone to convective showers caused by the relatively warm sea.
Rainfall being affected by altitude, Rum is the wettest of all the Small isles! 3000 mm a year is not an uncommon occurrence in the Small Isles with flooding when the soil becomes waterlogged. This also gives for a spectacular show of waters in spate on Eigg or Rum!
Unlike other areas of the UK, Scotland tends to remain under the influence of Atlantic depressions for much of the summer too, and the Small Isles are no exception.
It is therefore fair to say that in the Small Isles, autumn and early winter are the wettest seasons, especially from October to January, and that spring and early summer is normally the driest part of the year, especially from April to June!
Being so close to the Atlantic, the West of Scotland is one of the more exposed areas of the UK. The Small Isles thus experience their strongest winds with the passage of deep depressions close to or across the UK. The frequency and strength of depressions is greatest in the winter half of the year and this is when mean speeds and gusts are strongest.
Any wind above Force 5 can disrupt the ferry service, particularly to Muck as high wind speed mean, a high swell and difficulty in approaching the pier there without being driven by the swell onto the rocks.
Gales are certainly not unusual in the Small Isles and are an experience to behold! For wind to be classed as a gale, it must reach a mean speed of 34 knots or more over any ten consecutive minutes! The Small Isles have over 25 days of gales in an average year!
As Atlantic depressions pass by the UK the wind typically starts to blow from the south or south west, but later comes from the west or north-west as the depression moves away. The range of directions between south and north-west accounts for the majority of occasions and the strongest winds nearly always blow from these range of direction.
South-westerly wind almost always bring rain, whilst north westerly are drier. Spring time also tends to have a maximum of winds from the north east, due to the build up of high pressure over Scandinavia at this time of year. November to March have the highest mean speeds with June to August the lightest winds.
