PANAMA WITH A&KPanama, as returning clients regularly remind us, is enjoying a new moment in the sun. The spotlight is shining brightly on its ageing charm, exquisite nature and yes, on the famous canal that transformed global shipping routes and enjoys its 100th birthday this year.
To get the most from this small Central American nation that blends azure seas, mist-shrouded highlands and snaking rivers with pristine tropical wilderness, you need to be in the right hands. A&K hands. We use the very best guides with fabulous local knowledge, and enviable contacts, along with top-notch 4WD vehicles - you'll thank us on wilder roads - and offer seamless travel to surrounding countries.
Take an Abercrombie & Kent luxury Panama holiday in 2014 or 2015 and you'll explore the pristine San Blas Archipelago on the Caribbean coast, whose white powder beaches come with translucent lagoons and waving palms. Around 60 of its nearly 400 islands are home to the fiercely independent Kuna Tribe, who still fish from wood canoes, trade coconuts and sport colourful local dress. Their simple rental rooms are a rustic alternative to a private luxury catamaran cruise.

Talking about her inspiration for her new album 'Warrior, Kesha credits her 'spiritual journey' in an interview with Ryan Seacrest.
She claims she had 'experiences' with a ghost, "It's about experiences with the supernatural... but in a sexy way. I had a couple of experiences with the supernatural. I don't know his name! He was a ghost! I'm very open to it."
She also adds that she had a spiritual journey for her album. "The theme of this record is magic. I went on a spirit journey by myself," she said. "No security guard. No managers. I just went around the world and lived on a boat. I was in Africa rehabilitating baby lions. I went diving with great white sharks, and just went on this crazy spirit quest.
She adds, "I got hypnotised, and I just really wanted this record to be really positive, really raw, really vulnerable and about the magic of life."
Her album 'Warrior' will debut in the UK on December 3rd, and a day later in the US. Kesha is both a singer-songwriter as well as a rapper, and she broke out in early 2009 with Flo Rida's single 'Right Round'. She is originally from Nashville, Tennessee.

5 Reasons The Hunger Games Will Be Bigger Than Twilight (page 3)

1. Forget Twilight, It May Open Bigger Than Breaking Dawn
Considering the most recent Twilight movie broke out the fifth-biggest opening weekend in Hollywood history, this would seem an impossible feat for The Hunger Games except for the fact that The Hollywood Reporter says polling data suggests it is possible. This would be unprecedented. As it stands now the top 5 biggest opening weekends of all time are all sequels. No first in a series has even come close to making this list.

Lamela goal illuminates Europa League
(AP) -- Erik Lamela's outrageous goal in a big win for Tottenham illuminated the third round of Europa League group-stage matches, in which Fiorentina and Dynamo Moscow maintained their perfect starts to the competition.
In what will rank as one of the best goals seen in Europe this season, Lamela wrapped his left leg around the back of his standing leg and somehow generated enough power to fire the ball into the corner from outside the area.
"I was stunned, for two minutes I was just thinking about that goal," Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen said. "I've seen a lot of YouTube clips but I've never seen a goal like it."

Lauren Hill, The Miseducation of Lauren Hill (1997)
5.4 miles, 50 minutes
Conditions: 65 F, sunny, hungry, thirsty, and a little lost
I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd check out one of the many, many albums I picked up on Record Store Day. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was one of my more confident purchases: Hill comes well-recommended, not the least by a certain admirer.
On the spectrum of rap to R&B, Hill errs on the side of downtempto blues on this one, with the drum machine being the vestigial hip-hop influence on some tracks. I'm not much of a modern R&B guy, but Hill's rich vocals with gratuitous chorus and layering make a compelling argument. Frankly, I found the spoken tracks a bit less intriguing, though Hill is plenty competent spitting on the mic. The tracks that showcase both rap and a soul chorus are where everything comes together, and it becomes clear why this was the first hip-hop Best Album at the Grammies.
The beats on the album are interesting, though besides riffs from traditional instruments they don't really stand out on their own. I suppose this was pretty standard for 90s hip-hop. Thinking back, though, I think a lot of recent tracks with this stellar grade of vocals can live off pretty minimal production.
I didn't really like it as a running album; there's pep on a few of the tracks, but, on average, they're a lot slower and jazzier. I think the ideal activity for listening would be getting home from work and making a three-course meal from a recipe you haven't tried before, then setting a table for yourself and a very special lady. It's busy, well-cultured, cool and empowering, and overall, absolutely gorgeous.

Gratuities for your Trek Travel guides are not included in your trip price. Industry standard is 5-10% of the trip price which will be divided by your guide team. Please tip your guides at your discretion, based on their level of professionalism, guest care and service.
Our itineraries are an approximation of our trips. Trek Travel strives to offer each and every guest a vacation of a lifetime on every trip. At times routes, hotels, activities, etc. listed here may change at the discretion of the trip designer or guides to improve the trip experience.
On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Tuscany is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Those who wish to ride every mile but are concerned about their physical ability may want to try our electric bike option–you still get a workout but can climb alongside even the strongest rider. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is hilly to mountainous with some short to longer climbs and amazing views of the surrounding area. Prepare yourself for some challenges, including the climbs up Gibraltar Road in Santa Barbara and to the Stage 6 finish at Mountain High.
This destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866.464.8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:
You can expect to experience a wide range of temperatures and conditions on your Amgen Tour of California trip. The first two days will be spent in Santa Barbara, which enjoys average temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees in May. However, when you ride into the mountains on Days 2 and 3 of your trip, expect much cooler temperatures and a higher possibility of rain. As you enter the the Westlake Village area expect temps between 50 and 85 degrees....In other words, be prepared for anything, including rain! We recommend packing layers and also checking the forecast the week before your trip in order to pack appropriately.
For an additional fee you may request to upgrade to a race-proven Trek Madone 6.5 with Shimano Di2 electronic shifting for the ultimate riding experience. Upgrades to Bontrager Aeolus carbon wheels and Trek Ride Plus electric assist bicycle are also available. Contact our trip consultants for more details.
We understand things happen in life and sometimes you have to cancel or change your bike tour. We want to make it as easy as possible to do so and below you will find our timeline. If you ever have a question, just give us a call, 866 464 8735. Read our cancellation policy.
Didn't find what you were looking for? Check out our General FAQs section. You will find answers to all the most common questions that don't necessarily pertain to a specific trip.

Few pursuits are as rewarding as growing your own organic garden. Not only do you get to enjoy the fruits of your own labor, but you have the satisfaction of knowing that the produce you are eating was grown free of chemicals, pesticides and herbicides. Growing organically produces healthy, more diverse ecosystems which are better able to resist significant pest damage… naturally!
Organic Gardens
It's July and, as the song goes, the living is easy. Sure there are little chores to be done — watering, of course; and weeding — but mostly this is an expectant time with bountiful harvest of greens, peas (if you live where it's not too hot), and fast growing root vegetables. Summer squash are in blossom and maybe setting fruit, corn is knee-high and higher, and winter squash, cucumbers and other vine crops are showing some muscle and starting to take over. There's the first tomato blossom and is that the first tiny bean forming among all those blossoms?
It's a good week to spend time with your garden doing nothing but taking stock. How is your garden plan looking now that things are well on their way? What pest problems are you having? How does the weather look for the rest of the month? Mostly, we just like to sit back and look at the fruits of our work. Things are still neat and orderly, everything is robust and green. And then we start thinking deeper (gardens will do that to you). Where did the craft of doing this come into our lives? How is it that with each passing year we learn more and more about raising vegetables? How well are we doing passing our knowledge to children and friends? And how important are those friends and children to what we do and learn? (more…)
After our last column, a friend pointed out that she didn't have trouble getting melons to pollinate. Her problem was with blights and mildew. It's true that melons are a bit difficult to grow because of their susceptibility to molds and certain insects, especially when you're trying to grow them in cooler, damp climates. Any trouble growing melons is well worth it once they reach the table. The cantaloupes, watermelons and other melons now coming into our stores from warmer climates just don't hold a candle to a juicy, sweet, homegrown melon.
Finding the proper natural or organic cures for these melon problems can be difficult. Mulching is great for issues caused by uneven watering. But mulch can provide places for pests including squash bugs and cucumber beetles to lay eggs. These pesky critters not only consume melon plants but spread disease and wilt. Melon leaves can be burned by insecticidal soap and liquid copper sprays, two common, organic-approved solutions for bugs and mildew. They should only be used in the most diluted form possible. Other problem solvers — like using row covers to shield plants from insects — are great ideas until you need the help of pollinators. Any successful melon growing regimen begins even before you start them in your garden. (more…)
How to hand pollinate plants in the vegetable garden.
No, it's not the latest dance craze. It's what certain plants in your vegetable garden need to set fruit: a good shaking. Yes, it has to do with sex, er, pollination and plants can sometimes use a little help. But what it really has to do with is better yields come harvest time. So let's get ready to pollinate!
Not a year goes by when we don't hear someone complain that their tomatoes, cucumbers, or squash didn't set fruit. Oh, the plants grew like crazy and blossomed to beat the band but when it came time to produce? Little or no fruiting occurred. We've even had this happen ourselves, usually after relocating to a different part of the country. When we're asked what went wrong, we realize (doh!) that we didn't do what needed to be done, that's when we remember hand pollination. Now that July has arrived and gardens around the country are beginning to flower, it's time to pollinate. (For those of you in cooler climates or whose gardens might be a bit behind schedule this year, here's hoping that your blossoms are soon to show.) (more…)
In an effort to reduce water use and time spent caring for lawns, some gardeners are replacing their turf with thyme. Thyme is an ideal grass alternative. It requires less water, is generally tough (see "walking on thyme" below), drought resistant, hardy all the way north to zone 4 if it's healthy, and will spread easily to fill in most of the space that you want it to. Best thing: it becomes a carpet of attractive, lavender-colored flowers that lasts long into the season. If you're looking to replace your thirsty grass with something more xeric, consider thyme.
There are down-sides to putting in a thyme lawn. It can be expensive. When you're planting plugs of thyme 6 to 12 inches apart, you can burn up a lot of cash fast. Most sources recommend planting smaller areas. If you have a croquet court-sized yard (in other words, large) you might want to consider planting only part of it in thyme to start. You can always go back and expand your thyme planting another season. The other down-side is the labor it takes to get your thyme in the ground. You'll need to kill off all the grass where you intend to plant first. This can be a slow and difficult process. (more…)
Companion plants for tomatoes — not always a perfect pair!
Last evening, your friendly and inquisitive Planet Natural Blogger visited a couple of distinguished food writers — they are a couple and have a couple James Beard Awards to their credit — to get their opinions on some local barbecue for a story I'm writing. We ate outdoors in their beautiful patio garden, their chickens serenading us from the nearby coop that was just out of sight.
Their garden is incorporated into the modest outdoor living space. A pair of cherry trees, their growing space circled in rock, is at the center of the stone patio (no cherries this year; a late frost took all the blossoms). Around the first cherry tree were various flowering plants. Only the bleeding hearts were in bloom. The earth around the second tree hosted a variety of herbs, partly shaded, that were just reaching picking size. One of those herbs was basil.
Elsewhere, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes were growing on terraced steps in full sun near the walls of their white-washed adobe house. By the house's entrance, among several other plants and close to some lettuce that was already past its prime, was a yellow pear tomato plant already holding some blossoms. The space, with its various pots, growing areas, and walking spaces, not to mention the table where we sat enjoying ribs and brisket, seemed well designed. But I was puzzled by one thing. Knowing that tomatoes and basil, both full-sun lovers, did so well together, I wondered why they weren't growing side-by-side. "We tried that," one of my friends said, "and it just didn't work." (more…)
We've been intrigued lately how the practices of sustainable, organic gardening and permaculture integrate composting into their philosophies. Your friendly Planet Natural Blogger has been known to say that organic gardening and specifically composting will save the world and both those endeavors seem to prove it. Yet, both have their differences.
We won't go into all 12 principles of permaculture here. But consider how many of them are addressed by composting (as listed in Christopher Shein's excellent new book The Vegetable Gardner's Guide To Permaculture): work with nature, produce no waste, use and value resources, catch and store energy. To organic gardeners, all that come together to mean one thing: improve soil conditions without harmful chemicals.
This is the time of year we're adding grass clippings, if we have them, to our compost piles as well as vegetable scraps from our kitchens, thinnings from our garden (if we're not eating them), and year-round items like cardboard and newspaper. The permaculturist, in an effort to diminish waste, advocates using shredded office paper and the like as a brown (carbon-heavy) material. The organic gardening purist may not want to add newspaper because of what might be in the inks, office paper because of the bleaching agents that make it white, and carboard because of the glues used to hold its corrugated surfaces together. (more…)
"She loves me… she loves me not." Whichever way the petals fall, one thing is certain. We all love daisies. When other flowers are fading away in late summer, daisies stand long and tall, gracing our landscapes with abundant blossoms. Even those of us who've seen them invade our lawn and realized how hard the hardy plants were to get rid of love some kind of daisy, even if we hate those particular (usually hybrid) daisies.
The kinds of flowers commonly called daisies are actually a smaller group than what's in the daisy or asteracae (aster) family. That large group that counts some 600 species includes sunflowers as well as daisies, cone flowers, and asters. Our personal favorites are the tiny alpine daisies that grow above timber in the highest mountain passes. Here in the southwest, annual African daisies are popular for their varied colors and drought resistance. What's known as the New England daisy or aster — and this is one of the great things about daisies — actually grows all across the country. (more…)
As many parts of the country move into the dry season (some parts are already there; others have the opposite problem), it's a good time to consider xeriscaping principles in our gardens and landscapes.
What is xeriscaping? Simply stated, it's water-wise gardening. It's not just about the water we use (or don't) during times of drought. It also addresses our use of diminishing water supplies as demand — from population and housing growth, agriculture, industry (especially the natural gas industry) and, yes, drought — continue to tax finite water supplies. Xeriscaping is a way of continuing to have enjoyable landscapes in the face of less and more expensive water use.
The details of xeriscaping are encyclopedic. They're linked to local soil, native plant, and climactic factors. But the basic principles are simple, common-sense measures and are easy to apply almost anywhere. Here are the eight principles, with our comments, listed in David Salman and Cindy Bellinger's aptly titled and useful reference Waterwise Garden Care: Your Practical Guide published by High Country Gardens Publications. (more…)
June is often our favorite time in the garden. Sure, the rewards of harvest can't be beat — and June does offer some harvest, especially in warmer zones — but the orderliness of our straight planted rows and the germinating perfection gives us a thrill that's at once reward for the hard work that's gone before and the promise of bountiful and beautiful things to come.
There's nothing better than pulling up a lawn chair and surveying our garden kingdom no matter its size: the neat lines of bright green seedlings planted just days before, the transplanted seedling started weeks ago indoors now flourishing in their new outdoor homes. Yes, there's a break in the action once the garden's in — or maybe you're still furiously trying to get everything in the ground — but that doesn't mean you can step back and let things go off on their own. (more…)
– Here's a study that reaffirms what organic farmers and gardeners already know: the use of inorganic fertilizer may help plants one season but does nothing to improve soil conditions. How important is soil to the survival of our planet? Read this article about soil depletion. Estimates say we've already lost 40% of the world's topsoil, much of it because of non-organic farming practice.
— In the interest of fair and balanced reporting, here's a British study that claims organic farming isn't really all that better than conventional farming. Notice that the focus is on production. Also notice that it doesn't say anything about improving soils. Careful readers will see all kinds of omissions in the comparisons the study makes.
— Here's a great chart that shows how heirloom and wild fruits and vegetables are higher (much higher) in phytonutrients than conventionally cultivated cousins. If you find this interesting, follow the link to the accompanying article. (more…)

Skillful Solutions
Marriage & Family Therapist
"Being able to handle emotions effectively is one of the key areas I think people have the most difficulty with in life. My main focus in therapy is to give individuals tools to manage overwhelming emotions and "Build a Life Worth Living." The treatment modality I find most helpful to accomplish this is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or "DBT." DBT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be most effective for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (an emotion dysregulation disorder.) I also am experienced in delivering Prolonged Expsoure Therapy for the Treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

""It's never to late to have a happy childhood" This quote embodies the core belief and hope that I bring into my practice. Most people bring wounds from childhood into their adulthood. These wounds show up in their lives as depression, anxiety, low-self-esteem and unhealthy relationships. In therapy, you can become aware of those wound and how they limit your life today, grieve your losses and learn healthier ways to get those childhood needs met. As this healing occurs, we can explore ways to live life more fully and joyfully and to thrive rather than just survive.

Genevieve M. Martinez
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MS, IMFT
"Anger. Guilt. Resentment. These are the common themes we all struggle with, today. Sadness is all too real when we hurt, and when we do not cope well, or do not know how to cope with our anger, guilt, and/or resentment, we can become depressed. What you will see, is a vicious cycle; a depressed person then becomes angry, and resentful, and can start to feel guilt. We are all able and capable of making better decisions for ourselves and for our loved ones. There is no shame in asking for help...only regret in never trying. I can help you.

"Are you experiencing a personal difficulty, feeling stuck or overwhelmed? The seeds of change are often born in the midst of heartache and loss... Navigating through the challenges of life can be disheartening. It takes courage to reach out when we are feeling vulnerable or when life as we know it seems to fall apart. Sometimes just having someone listen can make all the difference. In a safe and confidential atmosphere, clients tend to discover ways to move beyond past events -- making their life less cumbersome, with more moments of joy and satisfaction.

personally to fix it i would close various radio stations do ANY of the digital ones have enough audience to be viable?
news 24 would go 24 hour news is in my opinion not a good thing anyway
maybe allow advertising on the website to make that part of the business self financing or at least add money to the coffers
as most people do have pvrs or access to iplayer might it be cheaper to roll bbc3 and 4 into one channel with longer hours?
im sure there is stuff the bbc is obliged to do (like bt is forced to install a phone line for anyone who wants one but yet virgin media arnt) maybe its time to look at that and just get back to the core of what it does tv/radio programs
is the red button / ceeefax worth having anymore as again its all avaliable on the bbc website and it does seem like it probably costs a lot for a minority service

I had the pleasure of working with a personal client yesterday, and she asked me to compile a list of my top beauty favorites and recommendations to her. She was a striking woman in her early 40's, with a stunning smile, and medium skin. After I made my list of recommendations for her, I realized how universal it was. This list is truly compiled of some of my all time favorite products that I use in my professional makeup kit, and my personal kit as well. You can easily tailor some of the recommendations to your skintone,and skin type. Enjoy!

But before I got to work on that I had a meeting in MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), one of New York City's top museums.
I met Lynn Parish from the museum to interview him for a podcast. In it gave me a bit of background to the museum, told me what are the highlights and more. It will be up on the site soon.
After that I went down to Greenwich Village. I always call down when I'm in the Big Apple. It's a cool neighbourhood and one you should make sure to visit if ever in New York. Around Bleecker and Macdougal Streets is where it's at.
Now my friends, it's off to the US Open.
