My wife, Peggy, and I have lived on this property since 1984 and have never fallen out of love with it. It is the perfect combination of a rural setting yet only 10 minutes away from town. We are outdoor enthusiasts and have many wonderful family memories of not only camping by the river but of backcountry excursions as well. It was on one of these adventures, in Oregon to be exact, that Peg and our two daughters discovered yurts. They rented one at an Oregon State campground and truly loved the experience. Having a yurt on our property has added even more of a sense of serenity and peace to our home. It is with this in mind that we want to share it with others. There's something uniquely appealing and comforting, a feeling of being embraced by the round space and the abundance of natural light that
lends itself to living close to nature. We welcome you to give it a try.
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Pete has completed online and offline ID verification.
Pete and Peggy were fantastic! Not only was the property great, but they add so many additional and personal touches that the overall experience is something to remember. If you're planning a trip to this area - you should definitely stay here.
My boyfriend and I had such an incredible experience staying at the yurt! Pete and Peg were so kind and welcoming, and had great advice about which parks to visit and where to eat in Big Sur. The yurt was beautifully decorated, complete with a projection screen and an outdoor hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day of hiking. Surrounded by a scenic landscape, the yurt was a serene, nature-filled getaway. Thanks again for being such accommodating hosts!
The property was as beautiful as described and Pete & Peg were more accommodating than you can imagine. This is a special place and we had a great night there after driving around Big Sur for the day. Can't wait to hopefully return someday.
We had such a lovely stay! Pete & Peggy thought of everything - great attention to detail. Everything you'd need is there and they're great hosts & very kind people. The yurt is very nicely decorated and the kids had a fun time running around the grass & picking flowers!
We could not have asked for more thoughtful hosts! Pete and Peggy provided everything from guide books to Monterey county hikes to reviews for local restaurants and extra jackets. Their entire property is so beautiful, we actually saw a bunny running across the lawn our first morning! Our whole group is now just yurt-ning to return.
An amazing time! One of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations I have ever had. Peg and Pete are very down to earth, accommodating, and super helpful. The yurt is an experience to remember!! It's the most lavish kind of 'camping' I've ever done! We loved our time with Peg and Pete and will make sure to be back ASAP!
Pete and Peggy are really great, and their attention to detail made or yurt stay one of the best accommodations of our honeymoon. Pete also gave us a tip on a promotion that Uber was running that saved us a lot of money getting around San Francisco. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful experience staying in peg and Pete's yurt! After a long week of celebrating and camping for my birthday, myself and four friends unwound in the hot tub and ended the night watching movies on the projection screen. It was so relaxing and fun. Pete and Peg were great hosts making sure we had all we needed and more. Thank you!!
About 2 years ago, we stayed here for one night while traveling from SF to LA on the Coastal Highway. We loved it so much we booked our second trip around this amazing place for 5 nights. The yurt is beautiful, huge, clean, and absolutely relaxing, especially if you enjoy the hot tub at the end of your day. The yurt and its surroundings make up a perfect vacation. Pete and Peggy are outstanding hosts: Welcoming, warm, caring individuals who will make your stay here worry free and make you feel like this is your second home. Fantastic hospitality, amazing place.
Peg was a great guest. In and out for a short stay, very neat and tidy. Thank you for being such a great guest. Please come back again!
WOW!!!! Pete was an exceptional guest in every way. We LOVED having him at Casablanca and having the opportunity to spend sometime with such an amazing person. He is one of the nicest persons we've known! He is a fun, nice, caring, exceedingly considerate, generous and easy going person. I can't say enough good things about him. Pete you are always welcome with open arms.
As a geography teacher for 40 years, I have traveled all over the world and I realized early on that where I stayed could make or break a trip. It is the sanctuary from a long day, the time and place to recharge for the next day, and most important, its location and amenities should allow for simplicity in planning and choices. Carmel and the Monterey Bay area are one of my most favorite locations to visit- it has almost daily superb weather, the proximity to both mountains and ocean bring continuous overwhelming vistas demanding exploration, and the towns in the bay area are filled with truly unique restaurants, art galleries and shops, sports opportunities, and history. I have known Pete and Peg almost all my life and have stayed with them often over the years. Their recent addition of the yurt to their beautiful property, which is located near the lovely Carmel River in the shadows of the coastal range, now provides a unique and private refuge for my visits. Pete and Peg are incredible people. They are always fun to spend time with, seem to know everyone and everything about the area to help make planning a day seamless, and always have time for a chat without ever becoming intrusive. I had never stayed in a yurt until theirs, and the sense of becoming part of the landscape while in a truly comfortable space has become a central part of my visits to Carmel.
I slept like a baby during my recent visit and stay in the yurt. The four poster bed is impressive and the mattress delightfully firm. The Carmel River gurgled and rushed nearby. And in the morning, I awakened to the mists dancing with the sun on the mountain ridge just outside the door. Pete and Peg are gentle, generous hosts.
Experience "living in the round" for a night and you may start wanting a yurt of your own. The yurt is a sanctuary where the lullabies of crickets, owls, and frogs sing you to sleep and the morning calls of quail and smells of fresh lavender and sage await at your door. This is a place of meditation, escape, and serenity that welcomes travelers from near and far. Home is where the yurt is.
I have been a friends with Pete and Peg for nearly six years now. The two of them have show the most gracious hospitality to me and my friends, and for the past five years they have hosted us in their yurt during one of the biggest cycling events in the US, the Sea Otter Classic. To say that a stay at their yurt is the highlight of the trip is an understatement. From the hot tub, projector DVD system, big comfy beds and warm fireplace, the yurt itself is an absolute gem. As hosts, you won't find two finer people. Each April I start to daydream about sitting under their cottonwoods on the yurt deck, looking out over the Carmel mountains and listening to the Carmel river run by. Their place is peaceful, beautiful and welcoming. Not to be missed!

GameTap has launched its 'Indies' program, an initiative to market and distribute independent games through its subscription-based service. While GameTap Indies will supposedly "take effect immediately," there's no sign of it today. A representative confirmed with us that launch titles won't be announced until GDC, when, during the Independent Games Festival, GameTap will present its first ever 'GameTap Indie Award' to three "hand-picked" recipients.
The trio will have their games showcased on GameTap, assumingly headlining a selection of less-heralded indie titles. One recipient will receive a $10,000 advance for signing a 5-year distribution deal with the GameTap Indies label; two others will receive $5,000 for signing away similar distribution rights.
It's a strong play from GameTap -- still seeking a firm identity -- and will hopefully encourage similar services to support independent development more aggressively. Will 'Indies' help to negate the stigma that GameTap is a bloated client with little original content to offer? Mr. Turner and company certainly hope so -- Sam & Max and Myst Online can't do it alone much longer.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention, in general, relates to films or foils and products made from, or incorporating, foils or coatings and, more particularly, to such products made from starch or amylose derivatives of the kind useful in an office environment or as data carriers or image surfaces as well as teaching and learning materials such as, for instance, overhead projection slides, printing or drawing sheets, transparent folders or windows of envelopes. Other fields of application relate to the manufacture and refinement of special papers and to packaging materials as in see-through packages or parts of packages or as laminates on other web materials. Further fields of application of the foils here under consideration are in food packaging and agriculture. 2. The Prior Art Films, foils and foil products, hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as foils, are produced in huge quantities. Since a considerable amount of such foils are intended for one-time use only and since, following such use, they must be disposed, there is an increased demand for foils which can either be recycled or which are biodegradable. However, recycling is made difficult by the fact that these foils, because of their great variety, can often not be distinguished and sorted out by laymen for subsequent appropriate recycling processes. An alternative to such foils would be foils which are fully bio-degradable or compostible within a reasonably short time. Such foils would very likely eventually replace those foils which are not biodegradable or compostible, such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene, etc. provided they could be made to exhibit similar properties, especially in terms of transparency and mechanical strength and stability. In the past, numerous experiments have been conducted in which starch served as the base or raw material for producing bio-degradable films or foils. Thus far, however, products made from pure starch have not been able effectively to compete with conventional products made from synthetic polymers. Their low tear strength and extensibility as well as lacking transparency and stability are drawbacks which have prevented use of those products on any significant scale. To overcome the disadvantages and, more particularly, to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based foils, it has been proposed to add to the starch various softeners such as sorbite, glycerine, polyvinyl alcohol and so forth. Another way of improving the mechanical properties of starch-based products of the kind here under consideration is to add synthetic polymers based upon polyolefines. Thus, there is known a biodegradable plastic formed from corn starch and low-density polyethylene. The improvements brought about by such products have not, however, been such as to result in serious alternatives to synthetic polymers. A further attempt to avoid, or at least lessen, the mentioned drawbacks was made by using so-called special amyloses such as, for instance, chemically modified high amyloses. For instance, certain hydroxyalkyl derivatives of amylose may be processed into thermoplastic articles or foils, films and membranes, or hydroxypropyl starches are added to other polymers, with a view to attaining improvements in predetermined properties. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,652 relates to a specific application and teaches a multi-purpose membranous material of high flexibility and mechanical strength formed at least in part of a hydroxypropyl starch. Whilst this multi-purpose membranous material may be non-absorbable by other materials in contact therewith, it is neither transparent nor completely biodegradable. Hydroxypropyl starches are also utilized for improving the biological degradation behavior of products made from unsaturated hydrocarbon polymer compounds which are difficult to decompose biologically. However, the properties of products thus obtained are by no means satisfactory. Whilst these products may be transparent, they nevertheless display some slight brownish tinge and they are of insufficient mechanical strength. Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 3,778,392 describes a mixture of polymeric starch and hyydropropyl starch for use in connection with high-quality papers. These products are not biodegradable and involve comparatively complex manufacturing processes. As regards their utility, none of the known products derived from starch or amylose have been capable of competing effectively against comparable products made from synthetic polymers. Moreover, in most cases the additives and softeners added to the starch or amylose prevents complete biodegradability of the final product. It is an object of the invention to provide foils or products thereof made from starch or amylose derivatives without added synthetic materials. Another object is to provide foils or products thereof made from starch or amylose derivatives without added softener. Still another object is to provided foils and the like made from starch or amylose derivatives which are qualitatively significantly superior to known foils of this kind by providing improved physical and mechanical properties. It is a particular object of the invention to provide foils and the like made from starch or amylose derivatives which are of superior tear strength and extensibility as well as high transparency. It is also an object of the invention to provide foils and films made from starch or amylose derivatives which may be used as overhead projection slides or printable films. Yet another object of the invention resides in the provision of foils and films which may be used as surface coatings or laminates of paper and cardboard. Still further, it is an object of the invention to provide a compound made from starch or amylose derivatives which may be deposited on a surface by spraying, spreading or pouring to form a foil or film thereon. It is a further object of the invention to provide a compound from starch or amylose derivatives suitable as a surface coating of paper and the like to improve the surface quality thereof. It is yet another object of the invention to provide a compound derived from starch or amylose derivatives which is completely biodegradable. Other object will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. In accordance with the invention, there is provided a compound derived from a starch or amylose derivative of low salt content and dissolved in ether, the derivative having a mean molecular weight of between about 105 and about 2×107 g/mol, a degree of substitution between about 0.1 and 0.5, a substantially uniform distribution of substituents between the C2/C3 and C6 within their glucose unit, a water content of less than 25% under normal climatic conditions, a polydispersity from about 2 to about 8, and a predominantly amorphous structure with a low crystalline proportion and a predominant particle size not greater than 400 nm. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the basic material has an amylose content of not less than 60%. Other advantageous embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description unfolds. It has surprisingly been found that foils and products made thereof possessing the above parameters and made from pure starch or amylose derivatives without any additives have excellent mechanical properties and a high degree of transparency. Due to the fact that the foils and products made from them do not incorporate any synthetic additives or softeners they are completely biodegradable. Particularly advantageous results are attained if the basic material, i.e. the starch is derived from the group of high amylose starches and if its amylose content is not less than 60%. The inventive parameters of the derivative, viz. low salt content, mean molecular weight between about 105 and about 2×107 g/mol, polydispersity of about 2 to about 8, a degree of substitution of 0.1 to 0.5 and preferably from 0.1 to 0.3, substantially uniform distribution of substituents between the C2/C3 and C6 bond sites within the glucose unit and a low proportion of hard-to-dissolve components are obtained by a careful hydroxypropylation and desalination. Following the hydroxypropylation and desalination the derivative will be a colloidal, viscoelastic solution which may be further processed by known processes such as casting, spraying, spreading and the like into foils and products made thereof with a predominantly amorphous structure of low crystallinity and a mean particle size of 400 nm, below the limits of visibility, the latter being an important requirement for the high degree of transparency of the foil or products made from it. The water content of the foil significantly influences its mechanical properties. Under normal climatic conditions, it is below 25 percent by weight. The foils are of high transparency and, compared to conventional foils and foil products made from starch or amylose derivatives, are of significantly improved stability and extensibility. Owing to the relatively constant water content of the foils or foil products, these properties remained substantially unchanged even after long storage periods at a relative humidity between about 30% and about 70% and at a temperature of about 23° C. The foils and foil products in accordance with the invention have an internal as well as an external plasticization effect which may on the one hand be ascribed to enlarged spaces between individual macromolecule resulting from the chemical addition of sterically large side groups which lead to increased movability of the polymer chains. On the other hand, it may be ascribed to low molecular groups into which the hydroxypropylated amylose may easily penetrate or physically bonded, thus acting as external softeners. In the present case, the low molecular groups are, in fact, water acting as a softener. In this connection the starch concentration or overlapping density of starch molecules is of great significance as it determines the way and progress in which the water molecules penetrate or are physically bonded. Thus, the mechanical properties are influenced as well. Accordingly, the foils or products made thereof in accordance with the invention require no softeners or additives. This results in a complete biodegradability or compostibility of the foils and products. It also prevents the foils or foil products from becoming brittle. Furthermore, materials in contact with the foil or foil product cannot be detrimentally affected by migration of a softener. The mechanical stability of the foils in the range of relative humidity from about 30 to about 70% at a temperature of about 23° C. is excellent. The predominantly amorphous structure and a predominant particle size below 400 nm impart excellent optical properties to the foil or foil product. The degree of transmission at light in the range of 560 nm was up to about 93%. The foils are, therefore, especially well suited as overhead projection slides. They may also be used as data carriers for they may be written or printed upon. They may also be used as copy surfaces. The mentioned properties make the foils particularly well suited for ink jet printing. To this end, a surface of a support material may be enhanced or refined by applying to it a coating of an aqueous solution of starch or amylose derivative. Suitable carrier materials are cellulose or other natural fibers. Of course, synthetic support materials may be used as well; but it should be understood that it would probably interfere with the biodegradability of the foil product. It is also an aspect of the invention to utilize an appropriately constituted starch or amylose derivative in the manufacture of paper and cardboard in order to improve not only their mechanical and optical properties but also their surface characteristics. Preferably, the foils or film coatings in accordance with the invention have a thickness between about 20 and 200 μm; and their preferred density lies in the range of 1.3 g/cm3. The properties of the foils and foil products in accordance with the invention may be summarized as follows: They have a tensile strength >40 Mpa (Megapascal at normal climatic conditions and thus they clearly exceed conventional foils made from starch with a high amylose content as well as 81/15 copolymer lactide/caprolactone (22.0 Mpa) and soft polyvinyl chloride (16-34 MPa); Their elongation at break is up to 60 Mpa and they are thus superior to low density polyethylene (longitudinal 18-32 Mpa; transversal 16-25 Mpa) as well as medium and high density polyethylene (longitudinal 20-40 Mpa; transversal 15-30 MPa); Their E module is between about 10 to about 40 MPa; They possess high transparency (>80% at light of a wavelength of about 560 nm); They have a high blocking efficiency as regards gases, especially nitrogen and oxygen; They may be stored at relative humidity levels between about 30% and about 70% at a temperature in the range of about 23° C.; They are stable against discolorations at temperatures up to 170° C. for 15 minutes; They may be welded, deep drawn, written, printed or copied upon; They have excellent adhesive and bonding properties when applied from an aqueous solution onto a carrier material such as, for instance, cellulose or natural fibers, and they markedly improve the surface characteristics thereof; and In preferred embodiments they are free of any softeners or synthetic additives and completely biodegradable as defined by E-DIN 53 739 in view of the fact that they are biological polymers. Given their mentioned properties, the foils and foil products in accordance with the invention, for specific applications, constitute genuine alternatives to foils or foil products made from synthetic polymers such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polystyrene. If the foils and foil products are used in connection with other materials, their biodegradability does, of course, also depend upon those other materials. In order to impart specific properties to the foils or foil products predetermined materials or material systems may be added which are not biodegradable. In such circumstances the complete biodegradability relates only to the foils and foil products in accordance with the invention. The invention will hereafter be described in greater detail on the basis of embodiments. In the following examples, the basic material is a slightly yellow powder-like starch derived from peas and has: a water content of about 11.5 percent by weight, it being understood that the water content is a function of storage conditions; an amylose content of about 77.4%; a protein content of about 0.9%; and a median molecular weight between about 105 and about 2×107 g/mol. As is well know and in the context of the invention herein described, amylose may be defined as a sol substituent of starch and consists of straight chain of glucose molecules. Following hydropropylation with propylene oxide a derivative of pea starch is obtained as a solution which is turbid, colloidal to coarsely dispersive and viscoelastic. The degree of substitution DS of the derivative is DS=0.2 and the degree of molar substitution MS=0.39. Reaction of the propyleneoxide was uniformly carried out with the hydroxyl groups in the C2/C3 positions and with the hydroxyl groups in the C6 position. The electric conductivity of the low salt content turbid solution was 329 μS/cm. A foil was produced from this homogenous bubble-free solution by a well-known pouring process. Neither softeners nor other additives were added. The foil thus obtained had a layer thickness of 30±2 μm and was brightly transparent. Its light transmissivity at a wavelength of about 560 μm was T=93.2%. An examination of the foil revealed substantially only particles of a size <400 nm, i.e particles below the limits of visibility. 90% of the foil was water soluble and had a median molecular weight of 109000 g/mol with a bimodal molar weight distribution. The density of the foil at 24° C. and relative humidity of 47% was 1.35 g/cm3. The foil was equilibrated at normal climatic conditions and had a water content of 9.43 percent by weight. Subjecting the foil to heat at 170° C. in a drying chamber for 15 minutes did not result in any visible brown discoloration. The mechanical parameters of the foil set forth in Table 1 were determined at climatic data of 23/27; 23/50 and 23/70 (°C./relative humidity). Surprisingly, the foil exhibits markedly higher stability values than those of known starch foils without additives. As expected, the tensile and tear strengths increased as relative humidity was reduced. By contrast, the extensibility did not show any unambiguous correlation. While the tensile extensibility is at a maximum value at 37% relative humidity, the tear strength attains its maximum value at 50% relative humidity. The foil can be stored for several months without loss of its qualitative properties at about 20° C. to about 25° C. room temperature and at a relative humidity of about 30 to about 70%. On moist soil, the foil will completely disintegrate within about 1 to about 3 hours. The foil may be written on and is suitable, as a substitute for high-priced polyvinyl alcohol, for dosage packaging or medicinal capsules. The starch derivative solution of Example I, at a concentration of >20 percent by weight, was applied as a thin layer on a paper or cardboard base and dried thereon. The laminate thus obtained had a surface with a shiny surface and was well suited as a printing surface for ink jet printers. A foil with a thickness of 90±8 μm was formed by casting a starch derivative solution made in accordance with Example I without adding softeners or other additives. The foil was brightly transparent and, at a wavelength of about 560 nm, its transmissivity was about T=92.7%. The median molecular weight of the foil was 2,158,000 g/mol at a bimodal molar weight distribution. The foil which was equilibrated under normal climatic conditions was found to have a water content of 10.87 percent by weight. The mechanical parameters of the foil contained in the table were determined at climatic data of 23/37, 23/50 and 23/70 (° C./relative humidity). As in the case of Example I, the foil was found to have strength values markedly superior to conventional starch foils without additives. The foil could be stored for several months without loss of its qualitative properties. On moist soil it was found completely to disintegrate earth within 1 to 3 hours. The foil could be written or printed on by several media. It could also be fed through a printer or copier and, therefore, it was suitable for use as overhead projection slides. It was found to be of particular advantage in connection with ink jet printers. After suitable preconditioning the foil was also suitable for deep drawing or thermoforming. Such processes did not result in loss of the high degree of transparency of the foil. The foil is particularly well suited as a biodegradable blister material.

was just too morbidly curious in the mark fell memorial (fri), so after i loitered around there, i just *had* to go tell my favorite bartender about it.
i'm ok. my light headache hung around. then, feeling in the clear, i've been on a drinking extravaganza for a couple of days. so my head hurts again, but not for this log's sake.
how are you doing today, toots? i had this weird "i'm gonna get a migraine" feeling last weekend but it went away.
again, love zeaLOG! interesting seeing that i'm on a 6 week pattern for headaches. weirdness.
just doing ok. didn't stay out too long today, though it was a beautiful, bright, & sunny day. i'm still kind of fighting off the eye thing (don't *think* i'm getting sick).
know what you mean about whammying yourself, i just was thinking the other day about how i was doing pretty good in the headache dept.

Living room and kitchen connected and I want to paint!
mrznatiFebruary 8, 2013
So the living room and kitchen are all one room ! The only thing dividing them is a half wall!!
Before you paint, how do you feel about moving the furniture? I love your place but I am bothered by the layout. I see that you have a half wall with three things above it, can you take a picture. I realize you put the tv there because you want to see it from the kitchen but I think you can do a better arrangement first. I think I would like to see the couch on the big wall. What is hiding under the plastic? I like your pillows and would pick up a blue in paint.
I just moved in like 3 weeks ago! Just trying to get ideas on how to decorate.... Under the plastic is nothing.. Just a yellow wall... That's going to be moved... Soon ...
I like the yellow wall cuz I had the accent chair there! Maybe thinkin of a nice decal on wall... With a small table next to accent chair in front?
Now I see it. Thanks. Yes, the wall is too small to hang the tv but now I'm thinking the tv can still go there but lower. I don't like the tv taking up such a big piece of the feature wall. I can think of a million things to do with that beautiful wall then look at the tv. I would rather you just try the couch there and move the tv closer to the door on the stand. I never like my back to the door. Then I would get two chairs to face the couch. You said you have a accent chair? Great, face that into the room.
Coralee Angell
I love this apartment, the sloped ceiling gives it so much character. I would consider painting the two longest walls including the yellow wall and leaving the two gable end walls white. Because there is so much wood, I would pick a warm colour such as beige.

Today's Runes for Rose McGowan
spread is used to plot the arc of your life and the forces acting on it. It is the most popular spread, giving a very complete view of the situation.
Gold Runes
are most commonly used for questions about business, career, and property.
The left rune represents
an important element of the past
is the rune of light and knowledge, driving away darkness and ignorance and revealing hidden truth. This rune also brings forth images of friendship and comfort. Ken is the light of inspiration, the light of imagination, and a beacon in the darkest hours.
The middle rune represents
a deciding element of the present
is the most strongly feminine of runes, representing water. Deep sexuality is suggested by this rune. Through Laguz, water is seen as the ocean - vast, uncontrollable, ever-changing, and vital. When interpreted as the returning tide, Laguz can also predict the inevitable return from a long journey.
The top rune represents
a force that works for you
represents a thorn, the most basic of barriers to our boon or our bane. In the case of hedges, thorns protect our encampments from that which skulks towards us from the outlands. In the case of rosebushes, thorns keep us from beauty. Though thorns are passive and have no thoughts, they puncture, tear, and may even be poisonous. Hence, this rune may also represent irrational violence and anger.
The bottom Rune represents
a force that works against you
refers to Mankind and your interaction with the whole of human population. This rune is reversed, suggesting a separation from your fellow man. There is a lack of harmony in your interaction with others, either because you do not accept society or society does not accept you. Alternatively, this rune may also represent your separation from nature, and your ability to rise above the base level of being. As the rune is reversed, this may suggest an incomplete level of spiritual attainment or an intellectual block.
The right rune represents
the critical element of the future
, at the core of the final outcome.
is the homeland. Land was the purest form of immovable wealth in Norse civilization, distinct from the movable wealth represented by Fehu. This rune speaks of stability and safety stemming from inheritance, both material and genetic. With respect to the question asked, consider the background of the people and families involved...

Grône is a municipality in the district of Sierre in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
Grône is first mentioned around 1001-1100 as in Gruona. The municipality was formerly known by its German name Grün, however, that name is no longer used.[3]
Grône has an area, as of 2009[update], of 21.1 square kilometers (8.1 sq mi). Of this area, 4.07 km2 (1.57 sq mi) or 19.3% is used for agricultural purposes, while 13.56 km2 (5.24 sq mi) or 64.1% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 1.64 km2 (0.63 sq mi) or 7.8% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.13 km2 (32 acres) or 0.6% is either rivers or lakes and 1.7 km2 (0.66 sq mi) or 8.0% is unproductive land.[4]
Of the built up area, housing and buildings made up 4.2% and transportation infrastructure made up 1.6%. Power and water infrastructure as well as other special developed areas made up 1.5% of the area Out of the forested land, 58.1% of the total land area is heavily forested and 2.7% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 1.5% is used for growing crops and 2.7% is pastures, while 5.1% is used for orchards or vine crops and 10.0% is used for alpine pastures. Of the water in the municipality, 0.4% is in lakes and 0.2% is in rivers and streams. Of the unproductive areas, 6.1% is unproductive vegetation and 2.0% is too rocky for vegetation.[4]
The municipality is located in the Sierre district. The main village lies in the Rhone valley with about ten hamlets in the hills above the village. The hamlets include Loye, Daillet, Itravers and Erdesson. Erdesson was formerly known as Merdesson, but the name was changed after it was rebuilt following a devastating fire in 1912. In the early history of the municipality, the village was often destroyed due to the Rhone floods, so the settlements in the hills were much more important. In 1292, both Grône and Loye were both municipalities.
