PENSACOLA, Fla. (BP)--When Hurricane Ida was downgraded to Tropical Storm Ida on Monday morning, the National Hurricane Center's announcement left residents of coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida a bit less wary.
Also among the relieved: attendees of the Florida Baptist State Convention annual meeting in Pensacola, slated for Monday evening and Tuesday. The convention's pastors' conference was being held Monday morning and afternoon.
The storm is expected to make landfall Tuesday morning somewhere between Grand Isle, La., and Florida's Aucilla River southeast of Tallahassee, according to the National Hurricane Center. As of noon Monday, the storm was packing 70-mph winds.
Florida Baptist Convention officials decided Monday morning that the annual meeting will proceed as planned at Pensacola's Olive Baptist Church, the Florida Baptist Witness newsjournal reported on its www.gofbw.com website around noon Monday.
Barbara Denman, director of communications for the Florida Baptist Convention, told the Witness that convention officers had decided to proceed "full steam ahead," with no change in the scheduled agenda. Denman noted that most participants in the Nov. 9-10 annual meeting already were in Pensacola. Those who have not arrived may watch the annual meeting livestreamed at www.flbaptist.org.
The Louisiana Baptist Convention's annual meeting also is scheduled for Nov. 9-10, but it is being held in Shreveport in the northern part of the state. The Alabama Baptist Convention's annual meeting is scheduled for Nov. 17-18 in Huntsville. The Mississippi Baptist Convention's annual meeting was held Oct. 27-28 in Jackson.
In advance of Hurricane Ida, Bruce Poss, disaster relief coordinator for the North American Mission Board, said he has contacted the American Red Cross and state disaster relief coordinators in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, and they were all in a "wait and see" mode.
At the Florida convention coincidentally -- as part of a pre-convention Crossover evangelistic outreach -- a Florida feeding unit was on site and could be deployed if necessary.
Though Ida may have weakened, Poss said the storm has the possibility of becoming "a flooding event" wherever it makes landfall. According to the National Weather Service, the main threats of Ida will be heavy rainfall, strong winds and storm surge along the Gulf Coast.

Now youth baseball, softball and soccer players pay $5 fees to use The Plex and Bill Gillespie Soccer Park. Karbowski said, "Maybe that should be $15." Baumer estimated each summer the city spends over $10,000 on gas, labor and other expenses to maintain The Plex.
Fitzpatrick wanted to ban out-of-town persons from renting park facilities, but the mayor disagreed, suggesting they pay higher fees than locals, who also contribute to Batesville parks at tax time. When outsiders use a city park space, "they may go to Kroger" or other businesses and spend money, Fledderman pointed out.
West recommended elevating the $275 price for large companies, such as Batesville Casket and Batesville Tool & Die, to rent the pavilion and tables for picnics. "That's a heck of a deal" for large gatherings.
Debbie Blank can be contacted at email@example.com or 812-934-4343, Ext. 113.
Trails project delayed • Baumer announced some disappointing news: Batesville's grant application to create a trail around The Plex and soccer park was denied by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Five of 15 state applicants will receive funds.

Death by design
Sad saga of aboriginal mistreatment should be required reading for Canadians
As the bison were driven into extinction in the late 1870s, hundreds of starving aboriginal people begged for food from the Department of Indian Affairs office in Prince Albert.
Officials responded by "increasing security rather than the flow of food." The workers who built the stockade to keep out the hungry natives were given the food that could have saved lives.
It's just one of countless outrages recounted by Prairie academic James Daschuk in this sad, amoral tale of how white people came to Western Canada and wantonly killed the people who were already here.
Clearing the Plains is Daschuk's first book, a two-decades-long reworking of his PhD thesis in history at the University of Manitoba.
Daschuk is an assistant professor in kinesiology and health studies at the University of Regina and a researcher with the Saskatchewan population health and evaluation research unit.
Daschuk concedes that white people might not have intended to kill aboriginal people ... at least, not at first.
The worst killers in the fur trade years were the microbes that Europeans brought with them. The white people had already developed resistance to smallpox, measles and influenza.
But North America's indigenous people were virgin soil for the diseases and hundreds of thousands perished as a result of contact with white traders.
The Hudson's Bay Company established a relatively benevolent dictatorship from the 1820s to the 1860s, providing vaccinations against smallpox and emergency food rations when needed.
Things turned more malevolent when the new Dominion of Canada took charge.
Sir John A. Macdonald, prime minister and minister of Indian affairs, used food as a weapon, forcing bands to relocate to reserves in order to be fed.
Once on the reserves, Indians were locked in. They could only leave with permission of the government's Indian agent, rarely given.
Such policies led to widespread corruption.
One top official awarded hugely profitable government contracts to an American company he part-owned. In return, the American company provided food to the Indians that was contaminated with tuberculosis.
Other officials raped women under their care, with no legal consequences. However, the rate of venereal disease among the officials provided at least some poetic justice.
Clearing the Plains is well-researched and thoroughly documented. One can't help but agree with Candace Savage, author of A Geography of Blood, that it should be "required reading for all Canadians."
The book's overall excellence makes its one omission that much more striking: Daschuk does not mention, even once, the Red River uprising that led to Manitoba becoming a province, or its charismatic leader, Louis Riel.
The armed conflict of 1885 is treated as a series of unconnected incidents, not a "rebellion" as most history books have it. Executions are mentioned, but not the hanging of Riel.
Daschuk does a disservice to the aboriginal story he is telling. Without reference to Riel and the organized nature of armed resistance in 1870 and 1885, the aboriginal people are painted as too passive, almost complicit in their own demise.
Despite that serious shortcoming, the connection between then and now is clearly drawn.
"In the collective experience of subjugation, hunger, sickness and death is the origin of the chasm that exists even today between health conditions of mainstream Canadians and Western Canada's First Nations population," Daschuk concludes.
Sir John A. would be proud of the country we've become. His policies of assimilation and cultural genocide through using food and money as weapons are maintained by his successors.
Only the incredible strength and resilience of Canada's first peoples have prevented their complete extinction.
Donald Benham is the director of hunger and poverty awareness at Winnipeg Harvest.

Seconds later, he has been transformed into a superhero in a bright blue costume. Over the next few moments he also becomes a space captain, a sunglasses-wearing beach bum, a Google Map, and a Wall Street investment banker, among other things, until he finally disintegrates into a thousand little pieces — all thanks to the magic of digital projection mapping.

Pours a dark, murky brown color with a tan head.
S: nicely balanced array of roasted grain, dark fruits, baked bread, vague spices and caramel.
T: Plenty of dark fruit mid-taste and in the aftertaste, with a kick of dark chocolate in the finish. A trace of light smoke.
M: superb -- full body and very creamy.
O: exceptionally enjoyable and better than expected, even from a premier American producer of Belgian style beers.

4.85/5 rDev +22.5%
A: A very dark brown beer with good clarity. The persistent, tan head is made of compact bubbles and leaves a fine lacing on the glass.
S: An initially wine/grape-like fruitiness that quickly gives way to rich fruity esters, notes of dried dark fruit, some spice and caramel with some cocoa in the background. Moderate malt sweetness and a low floral alcohol aroma.
T: Belgian yeast goodness dominate the flavor with fruit and spice r at a moderate being closely supported by dark malt flavors. There is a moderate sweetness that rounds out the flavor and helps give deep to the layers; it's not a dry beer but it's not cloying like some Dark Strongs can get. There is an almost juiciness to some of the dark fruit flavors ranging from plum to prune with some light orange character. The spice is black pepper and alcohol provide some of the balance against the malt sweetness along with a low hops bitterness but overall the it is a slightly sweet beer. It dries towards the end finish off-dry with an aftertaste of cocoa, pepper and a light hops bitterness.
M: A medium bodied beer with a very strong level of carbonation and a light alcohol warmth.
O: A love this beer, it's fruity, dark and spicy Belgium that goes down a little too smooth. I don't want it with dessert, I want it for dessert; that being said it would go great with a vanilla custard or berry tart.

Bottle from Proof Bottle Shop. Thick and pitch black with tan head that persisted fairly well. Collar hung until the end. Lots of dark malt, some sour cherry, some coffee, and a touch of grassy funk in the aroma. Taste is nearly identical to the smell, with a bit more of the sour cherry and grassy funk being prominent. Nice thick creamy mouthfeel. Very full bodied. Great after taste and a Guinness like mouthfeel.

On tap at the Big Texas Beer Fest.
The beer pours a very dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is has some roasted malt, as well as some dark fruit, chocolate and Belgian yeast notes. The flavor is similar, with the chocolate and dark fruit notes going very well with the yeast and roasted malt notes. Tastes a lot like a Belgian imperial stout. Medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

750 poured into a goblet
A: Light brown head....huge lacing....two fingers. Having a tough time getting a read on the body color, but it's dark. Maybe with some reddish hues around the edge?
S: Smells amazing...very aromatic. Toffee, blackberry jam, raisin, candi sugar, slight clove, vanilla, just a touch of alcohol. Wow.
T: Raisin, dark fruit and Belgian yeasty esters up front. Transitions to acidic (almost salty) tart cherries and dries out quickly from there. Finishes alcoholic with some chocolate and a mild roasted malt aftertaste.
M: Full body with soft carbonation. Very dry finish with forward alcohol. Drinkability is moderate-to-low.
O: Terrific complexity on this one. The alcohol is a little harsh, but this is a really fine American take on a strong dark Belgian ale....especially the aroma.

Poured from a 750 ml corked bottle into a Duvel tulip glass. Bottled on 02/20/12.
Appearance: Pours a very dark blackish brown with a slight hint of ruby at the bottom. Moderate bubbles and a big four finger light tan head which slowly recedes into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a good amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Aroma leaps out from the glass with dark fruits and yeast. Belgian yeast with hints of clove and black pepper. Dark roasted malts with hints of burnt toast, biscuit, bitter dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, and coffee.A very lively and big mix of dark fruits including raisin, dark grapes, berries, fig, and prune. Light hints of anise and smoke. Subtle earthy hop presence. The dark grapes really stand out. Pretty nice smell.
Taste: As fruity, spicy, and complex as it smells. Belgian yeast along with a taste of cloves, black pepper, and other spices. Very roasty dark malts with a taste of dark chocolate, toast, biscuit, coffee, burnt caramel, and toffee. Big taste of dark fruits with notes of dark grapes, raisin, fig, prunes, and berries. A little burnt candied sugar and subtle notes of anise and smoke. Some earthy hops add a little drying bitterness towards the finish. A really nice taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Creamy, spicy, and drying. Alcohol heat is subdued.
Overall: A really good take on a dark Belgian ale. It has the fruit esters and spices of a Dubbel and the roasted characteristics of a Stout. Really nicely done.

Deep pitch black body this is the Art of Darkness, okay we get it, there's also a light tan head forming thick, with Belgian inspired lacing. Aromatics offer up with dark cocoa, spicy aromatics inspired by the yeasts fermentation process. Dark malts give off a solid roasted malt aspect that I can relate to anyday, also a dark toasted nut quality coming out with the bier I'm sippin' on. Floral spicy yeast base, with dark roasted malts slightly creamy acidity almost yogurt like. Especially tasty dark beer, hybrid Belgian American dark ale, with even flowing carbonation and a medium bodied ale that I really enjoy. Overall impressive offering, that is tasty and satisfying for the beer drinker's palate.

750 ml bottle that had an attractive black wiring holding the tight cork. Upon popping the cork, smoke hovered in the bottle, but did not dispense out. Poured a cool beer into Ommegang's own classy tulip glass and what a creamy big foam head with good lacing and sustenance. Color was dark dark brown near black, maybe hints of red ruby. As the beer disappears spin that beer around and the head reconstitutes itself a bit. I like that.
The aroma has a nice malty sweetness and some nice fruit scents arise.
Taste buds were hit with a true to Ommegang form of balancing a nice malty sweet flavoring balanced against subtle fruit & a bit of spice. Art of Darkness ups the ante a bit with an upfront blast of like licorice or espresso flavorings that remind you of an American style stout without the thickness. The beer finishes a tasty rich sweet bitterness.
A surprisingly smoooth heavy flavored malted beverage. Ladies who don't like stouts because of the grittiness then you might try Darkness if you are looking for more flavor.
A great beer that I may up my ratings on. So what complements this new monster addition to the Ommegang lineup? Well a perfect addition on a northern winter night in a craftsman home with a fireplace blazing while listening to Cecil Taylor percussive style piano with Jimmy Lyons saxophone player blazing next to him. I recommend the angry recording made in Germany "One More Salty Swift and Not Goodbye."

The office supplies merchant says it's testing Amazon Lockers.
Amazon.com Inc. over the last year has worked with bricks-and-mortar retailers to install lockers in stores and other locations where consumers can pick up their Amazon.com orders. Now Staples Inc. has begun to test Amazon Lockers in some of its stores.
A spokesman for the office supplies chain today confirmed the test but declined to say more. A search today of Amazon.com for locker locations listed eight Staples stores with Amazon Lockers: one in San Francisco, two in Los Angeles and five in New York City. Searches in other areas of the United States already known to have Amazon Lockers—Seattle, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.—did not display any Staples locations. Staples operated 1,917 stores in North America at the close of fiscal 2011, which was in January 2012.
Amazon.com did not respond to inquiries.
The searches also returned 12 RadioShack locations in the San Francisco metro area as having Amazon Lockers. It is unclear when RadioShack Corp. began testing Amazon Lockers. A RadioShack spokeswoman says the retailer believes what it offers by way of convenience, location and selection complements what Amazon customers seek. As of March 31, RadioShack operated more than 4,400 stores in the United States.
What's notable about the addition of Amazon Lockers to Staples and RadioShack retail stores is that these retailers also sell some of the same products that Amazon.com does, making them competitors in some sales categories. Amazon.com is No. 1 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide. Staples is No. 2 and RadioShack is No. 275. Up until the addition of Staples and RadioShack, Amazon Lockers locations were primarily located in convenience stores such as those operated by 7-Eleven Inc., drug stores and grocery stores, which fulfill shopping needs less likely to be served by Amazon at this time.
Staples recently announced that it would close 15 more North American stores by the end of the year—bringing its 2012 total North American closures to 30—and increase its investments in the web as part of a company-wide restructuring plan. Staples says it will reduce its North American retail store square footage by 15% by the end of fiscal 2015.
Consumers shopping on Amazon.com can choose during the online checkout process to have items within weight and dimensional restrictions (less than 10 pounds, and smaller than 11.8 x 11.8 x 11.8 inches) shipped to an Amazon Locker location. When a package arrives, it is kept in one of about 40 lockers in an electronically controlled storage unit provided by Amazon in a retail store.
After choosing delivery to an Amazon Locker location, a consumer receives an e-mail confirmation from Amazon with a code number. The consumer enters the code into an electronic screen on the Amazon Locker storage unit to open the locker containing her order. A consumer has three days to retrieve a package delivered to a locker before it is returned to Amazon.

The Acer Aspire R7 turned heads when it was released earlier this year and won some geeky fans thanks to its Star Trek associations. Today Acer has announced an update to this futuristically designed 'Ezel hinged' multi-mode computer with an Intel Haswell processor and active screen digitizer being the highlights. Also as a new laptop this machine, the Aspire R7-572, now ships with Windows 8.1.
This second generation Aspire R7 still allows user to flip and turn the device into different modes via its experimental 'Ezel' screen hinge. With the added digitiser in the touchscreen, the new model allows users to work with an optional Acer active stylus. The stylus comes in handy for users who are looking for more options to increase productivity and creativity on the uniquely mounted 15.6-inch display.
A new set of apps called Acer Touch Tools also makes the touchscreen more useful than ever. The stylus software suite includes:
- MemoryBinder: a kind of scrapbooking app
- Screen Grasp: an image clipboard
- Scrapboard: a web image erm... scrapboard
- AccuFinger: to help fat fingers select and manipulate small on screen elements
Acer gives us some details about the tech behind the active stylus. The systems maker says it uses electromagnetic induction technology. "It provides high accuracy, hover capabilities for precise system control, rapid refresh to accurately capture ink subtleties, 256 distinct levels of pressure sensitivity for more exact control and input, and advanced palm rejection capabilities for natural and intuitive computing experience," says Acer. The stylus also has interchangeable nibs and configurable side buttons.
The Aspire R7-572 is also updated with Intel Wireless Display technology (WiDi), 8GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive. The new Haswell CPU provides a much better battery life; up to 6.5 hours compared to the original Aspire R7 which only ran for 4 hours in battery life tests.
Although the external design remains the same, there are a lot of respectable internal upgrades. "The new R7-572 builds upon the unique design of the first generation model, bringing more options and greater functionality to our R7 customers." said Sumit Agnihotry, vice president, product marketing, Acer America. It has definitely taken a large step in the right direction with the better battery life and active stylus options. A full list of tech specs can be found here.
The new version of the Aspire R7 with the updates mentioned above, more base memory and a double sized HDD also comes with a price cut, down by $100, to US$899. We always like to see products that are new and improved with a keener price tag attached. Availability starts in US based Best Buy Stores early December.

Uma Thurman: Coffee Stop in NYC
Looking for a caffeinated boost, Uma Thurman stopped into 71 Irving Place Coffee & Tea Bar in New York City today (August 20).
The "Pulp Fiction" actress was joined by her son Levon as she had some breakfast after taking her newborn baby daughter for a doctor checkup.
In a recent interview, Uma shared that she had a hard time feeling confident as an actress at first, and it took her years before she felt comfortable as herself.
"I wish I had known at 18 that I would, one day, be treated as sensitive, with views of my own. When you are a young woman, it is so hard to get listened to. Was my height an issue? At nearly 6ft tall, with large feet, of course it was!"
Ms. Thurman continued, "I was no stunner. People see what they want to see, but when I was a kid I was quite ugly. I spent the first 14 years of my life sure that my looks were hideous. Then my face became big enough to carry my big nose and my cheekbones changed. That experience, in a silly way, taught me not to care."
"It was very painful, as a kid, being told you are ugly all the time. Boys always liked other girls. I had mad crushes on boys at 14, which would last months. I learned that what was going to work for me was NOT looks. I just forgot about my looks. I just stopped thinking about it. I decided that I would not care. So when people started telling me I was beautiful I did not see any reason to believe them. I've learned the focus people put on looks ignores the way people really are," she added.

While some may find the subject matter dark or think that anyone who believes in ghosts or anything paranormal needs a padded cell, this book can make nonbelievers change their minds. And there's plenty of light, even with some very sad and sobering tales told.
Zak's writing style is a revelation: It's casual and candid, yes, but the book wasn't just written with catchphrases and slapped with a cover. He and co-writer Kelly Crigger take us back through some of the places we've seen on "GA", elaborating on the history of, as well of Zak's experiences at:
In these passages Zak tells the reader about his experiences and how they affected him (even a why, if it's there) and acknowledges the true challenges surrounding the paranormal community and the scientific side of it all. Yes, there is science to ghosts... real science. Can the scientific method be applied? No, and Zak states as much, instead offering alternatives to following a method, just simple tweaks really. These challenges, besides the obvious one of dealing with non-believers of the paranormal, come from the scientific method not being able to be followed exactly. Basically, the scientific method states that you must have a hypothesis, experiment, and results that are able to be replicated via a certain set of steps within the experiment. But a ghost cannot just simply appear on command.
Science also doesn't recognize the body's natural responses to paranormal stimuli as evidence. The goosebumps, the dizziness, the nausea – all the things that can affect you in the presence of a ghost or spirit. These physical feelings don't necessarily mean the energy is a negative one; just simply that you are close to a ghost or one has possibly passed through you. In the book Zak elaborates more on this and the differences between traditional scientific research and paranormal research, mentioning various theories – including the multiverse theory and discussing the "facts" of time.
Bagans explains that time is nothing more than a construct. It's something we as humans constructed and invented, just as if we'd built a building. So it makes sense that some ghosts don't know they're dead. They don't have any sense of time – or rather, their sense of time could be much different than ours. Kind of like Narnia. So what does that mean when we die? Where do we go? Even if we're happy and have an attachment somewhere (some ghosts do; it's called the Attachment Theory, and the book touches on it briefly), do we truly need to move on? We can't answer this now, but we can someday. The answers are there.
Duke University was the first school to develop an actual paranormal research division. It was part of the university until the 1960s but is now an independent center researching parapsychology, ESP, ghosts, poltergeists, demons, and more. This is something we need more of: a place where people can pool their evidence together. The point made in bringing up all the scientific information, theories, what's been done, and allusions to what needs to be done (it just skims the surface, really) is that it's easy to think that wow, maybe we're still just in our infancy of exploring the paranormal now.
More people are becoming paranormal hobbyists and collecting evidence, but for whatever reason (pride, sensitivity, etc.), they don't want to share it with others. But Zak's right. Think about it. Think how much, how fast (relatively speaking), we could see an improvement in the field if everyone pooled their evidence and found the commonalities; commonalities Zak knows are there and has experienced himself, such as with the Ram's Head Inn and Bobby Mackey's (interestingly enough, two of the most dangerously haunted places in the world).
There's so much promise when it comes to exploring the world of the paranormal. Dark World, even on its own, shows that, but with the addition of brief guest writings at the end (including Gary Galka, who invented the Mel-Meter after losing his daughter, Melissa, in a car crash and continues to make new devices and equipment Zak, Nick, and Aaron use on the show; Bishop James Long, who has performed exorcisms on Zak himself; and Mark and Debby Constantino, EVP specialists and friends of Zak and the GAC, just to name a few), it's even more apparent that everything is starting to come together and we just have to pay attention.

DES MOINES — Complaints about how Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert is handling disputes over unemployment benefits escalated into a war of words between Gov. Terry Branstad and a Democratic state senator who says he won�t back down.
Branstad used his weekly news conference to defend Wahlert, charging that allegations that she has brought inappropriate and undo influence over administrative law judges -- in federally funded positions -- who decide state unemployment benefit disputes are politically motivated.
�I have great confidence in Teresa Wahlert,� Branstad told reporters. �I think she�s an outstanding administrator. I think she�s very fair.�
The governor said his 2011 IWD appointee has been the target of �partisan political attacks and I think she�s answered every one of them and answered them very satisfactorily.�
Last week, Sen. Bill Dotzler, D-Waterloo, called for a federal investigators to look at abuse of power allegations he�s leveled at Wahlert, alleging she is trying illegally to exert influence over administrative law judges who decide unemployment cases.
Dotzler released copies of emails and related stories of his interviews with Workforce Development employees to back up his claims. He also said Wahlert had the judges develop �tip sheets� for employers to help them win their cases and asked for tallies of how judges decided their cases after she had fired the former chief administrative law judge and made the agency�s 14 other judges report to her.
On Monday afternoon, Dotzler took to the Senate floor to decry �bullying� tactics being employed to intimidate IWD employees and tilt outcomes in favor of businesses in unemployment cases. He also said he is not engaging in personal attacks but he�s seen some coming at him.
�I�m not going to back down from the truth, I�m not going to run from personal attacks,� he told his Senate colleagues. �This isn�t Bill Dotzler making this stuff up. It�s coming from the employees of Iowa Workforce Development.�
Branstad said Walhert�s office just received a positive report from the U.S. Department of Labor following a routine inquiry on its unemployment appeals process. The agency also has reduced significantly a backlog of cases under her direction, he added.
�She has never second guessed or tried to change what an administrative law judge did,� Branstad said in giving Wahlert his vote of confidence.Comments: (515) 243-7220; firstname.lastname@example.com

School Reviews
- November 07, 2013 - I am a parent of a 15 year old boy who has been at Coastal Learning Center for two years. I am thrilled to say that my son enjoys his program at the school. I have found the administration and staff of the school to be on top of their game. They keep me notified of his academic as well as his social progress. Teachers and counselors call weekly and the administration is always available to answer my questions. I highly recommend this private school and I commend the efforts of such a dedicated staff. - Posted by Parent

I stayed here two years ago and was amazed. Coming back this weekend was even more delightful. The farm and garden continue to grow. I loved sitting in the sun reading. Relaxing and being out of the city for a week end was perfect. So close to Portland, yet a world away. Christina and her daughters remembered me and were excited to have me back. I will return again for a personal retreat!
5 sur juillet 16, 2012
We were wonderfully welcomed by Christina and her daughters. Our accommodations were very spacious and comfortable, with a great view of wine country. And the breakfasts were delicious and something we looked forward to every day.
5 sur août 18, 2011
This was our first bed and breakfast experience and it will definitely be hard to beat. Christina and the family are amazing. From the homemade breakfasts to the Rachel Ray shoot we had the time of our lives. Do not pass this one up! Thank you, thank you!
5 sur juillet 22, 2011
A fabulous B&B farmstay experience! The lodging was wonderful -- exquisitely furnished -- so charming. The homemade, fresh from the garden food was outstanding. Christina predicted & attended to every need. My daughters (8 & 10) loved the place. We'll be back!
5 sur mai 31, 2011
It is more than just a B&B. Christina invites you on a tour of her farm. Her children interrupt her with fantastic stories about their chickens and ducks. Their way of life makes sense- it's all about sustainability, living simply but with the best quality. To that, Christina is an increbile chef. She and her husband have created a very special place.

My 5 year old son and I had a wonderful weekend visit to Deer Haven. The 2 bedroom guest suite is well appropriated with organic linens and a relaxing living space. The views from the private courtyard and lawn are beautiful. We really enjoyed the farm. Thank you for welcoming us and for the wonderful food. We'll be back!
5 sur mars 29, 2011
We booked a night here on our first weekend with the new dog. We came in exhausted from a day of cruising the wineries and were enthusiastically welcomed by the family. In the suite were three homemade brownies - without nuts (sister-in-law is allergic). Pictures and my description cannot do the suite justice. The stone-tiled floor is beautiful, the decorating is tasteful and interesting, the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is even classier than anything I'll ever afford. After a relaxing evening of cards and reading, and a good night's sleep, we were greeted with fresh homemade bread, fresh-squeezed OJ, coffee, ham & eggs, and garden vegetables. I wanted to eat it forever. Come and see it for yourself. This is a terrific B&B.

For our first trip to Oregon Wine Country my wife and I decided to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel/motel and lucked into Deer Haven Farms B&B. This B&B nestled into the mountains of Oregon was truly a treasure with immaculate accommodations in peaceful setting. Our gracious hosts took the time to suggest places to go and sites to see and were spot on with explanations of the surrounding areas. We enjoyed great food with friendly service and look forward to planning a return trip. A little southern hospitality in the great northwest!

My husband and I lucked upon Deer Haven while planning for a two nite stay in beautiful Oregon Wine Country. Christina and Stuart are hosts extraordinaire, and their lovely, spacious daylight apartment guest suite is warm, clean, charming, and very welcoming. All the furniture is comfy, the linens crisp, and the touches of whimsy (art, books, decor) are delightful. The place has the feel of a high end European guest house with a Northwest flair. This family has a sensitivity for living with great consideration for the environment, so you'll find yourself eating an organic, delicious breakfast and be surprised by other creative ways in which they are walking lightly on the earth while not compromising your comfort in any way. The view from the apartment is overwhelmingly stunning - the Willamette Valley shows off in all kinds of weather. Our hosts were friendly yet not intrusive and were immediately responsive to any request we had. We didn't want to leave and recommend Deer Haven wholeheartedly. We've traveled the world and rate this B & B farm at the top of our list.
4,4 sur août 31, 2010
The guest accommodations were very spacious and immaculate. The furnishings were exquisite, with everything of the highest quality down to the detailed tile work in the bathroom. The rooms are cut into the hillside providing a nice cool constant temperature. I highly recommend this home away from home for both a weekend getaway as well as a recharging station during a wine shopping adventure. The homegrown all natural breakfast is a great beginning to each day.
5 sur juillet 29, 2010
For my wife and mines forst B&B experience am I so glad it was here. This is a nice quiet farm feel in the middle of Oregon wine country. We were given outstanding service and a great home welcome. The room was great with an extra room if needed all included in the one price. The breakfast was great with fresh homemade bread and jam. We will definately be back to Deer Haven Farms B&B

Treasury and welfare programs to receive USD 60 billion from Pdvsa
USD 15.5 billion has been transferred to Fonden in 2012
Contributions made by Venezuela's state-owned oil company Pdvsa to the treasury and welfare programs total USD 60.3 billion in 2012.
Oil price, averaging USD 100 per barrel this year, has yielded higher income for the oil company, and particularly for the different mechanisms controlled by the Executive Office.
Rafael Ramírez, Minister of Petroleum and Mining and president of Pdvsa, informed on Wednesday the members of the National Assembly Finance Committee about the total funds to be provided by the oil company. During his presentation, he elaborated on the contributions to welfare programs.
Out of the total amount of money the Government will be receiving from Pdvsa, some 26% will be allocated to the National Development Fund (Fonden).
The oil minister stated that Fonden got USD 14.2 billion from Pdvsa in 2011, and as much as USD 15.2 billion will be given in 2012, therefore contributions will be increasing by 11%.
Pdvsa's contributions to Fonden derive from oil windfalls. Ramírez pointed out that Fonden has received from Pdvsa USD 59.3 billion since 2005.

The rock of discord
A shipment of over 30,000 tons of phosphate arrived at Puerto Cabello port in late July on board the Shi Long Ling, a Chinese-flagged vessel that began its long journey in northern Africa. The cargo boat docked on July 26 after traveling more than 3,200 nautical miles. Undoubtedly, this would just be considered one in many cargo ships crisscrossing the oceans if it were not for the fact that Venezuela has denounced Western Sahara occupation by Morocco and yet purchases the territory's natural resource products from the occupying power.

Seriously, people? And wolves - PHOTOS!Hi!I have been always curious about the number of people, who look at my journals. And new style of "favable" journals could finally show it to me. I was interested - when I post a journal, I usually have some + 400 views on my profile page. So I expected to have some 400 views on my last journals, which would confirm, that 400 persons read it. But it got some 6 000 views! it is MUCH more than my photos usually have! I can not believe this number is correct... I was told that the journal appeared in some dA news section, but I am not sure if that is a reason, because I had no special pageviews, just regular + 400, which is typical for a day, when I post a journal. I think that new visitors, who would be attracted by a journal, would probably (at least small part of them) visit my page, so I would have bigger number of pageviews So this is a mystery, really...As I said, I like my photo journals and I consider them my "trade mark", something which differs me from anot
Amazing SNOW LEOPARDS on snow - PHOTOSHi,thank you for kind voluntary donations for free calendar (http://woxys.deviantart.com/art/Animal-photocalendar-2012-FOR-FREE-269531520) I really appreciate it! Kiriban winners will be featured next time, ok?Today I post photos of my favourite cats, snow leopards. All were taken in ZOO Jihlava with Canon Powershot S5 IS. I still have some sharp photos of nice moments, which I somehow "saved for better occassion". Ironically, I now do not feel like posting them, because although they are sharp and bright, they do not have SLR quality of shots taken with my SLR camera. There are also some very cute poses of baby snow leopard, so I might still post them later. I will consider it.Nah, bad mood here.And thank you for every , of course!

News + fat and cute - PHOTOS of arctic foxesHello!Uchrm, I probably passed my graduation exams! Well, I see my grades, they should mean I passed! Now I only need to re-write and defend my final thesis (which is what was planned ).But studying should be over and finished! I have not realized it yet, but if it is true and I really passed today's exams (I am always nervous that secretary was wrong and she wrote wrong grades to school info system ), then my studying is totally over and finished!So if I wake up tomorrow to find the same grades as I found today, I will be happy But to be honest, in last days, I was SO nervous that I ate literally everything I could, almost biting the furniture. And I did not have a second to waste, so no bike, no exercise. So wow, more free time now, more moving now. How cool!I can not wait to be covered with sweat and to have a muscle pain after sporting once again (but it is true, I like to be "tired" like that )Thanks for support, people! Now...

RATS F.A.Q - UPDATEDSOME USEFUL FACTS ABOUT RATSI've received many notes lately asking me some usual questions about rats : how to take care of them, should they live alone or with other friends, what should they eat, common diseases, etc... so I thought it would be nice to give some informations about them.First of all, rats make wonderful pets. They are very playful, cuddly, curious, smart, licky, they have a lot of personality. Their behaviour is very similar to dogs' behavior and they are as clean as cats.They unfortunately suffer from a very unfair bad reputation.Rats don't carry many diseases, they actually carry way less than cats or dogs. They can be potty-trained, they can learn tricks, they are very affectionate towards their owner, you'd actually be amazed at how loving and funny they are. Once you've owned rats, you can never forget about how sweet and fascinating they are.Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about rats (including a paragraph about breeding although I'm fi
