Each of the oval "rooms" in the treehouse are connected, but designed for separate activities – one for standing, one for sitting down, and one for sleeping al fresco. Each area is intersected by a tree trunk from the Japanese oak host that coils around the platform, or jut through the floor, harmonizing each room within the tree.
The rooms are outlined with steel guardrails to protect visitors from stumbling off. A curved white couch, platform bed, and leaning support furnish each of the rooms. The floors are also slatted so that they naturally drain rain and spilled liquids, as well as filter light to the base of the tree. When the wind shakes the tree, the structure slowly rocks with it.
The surrounding branches and leaves act as a natural sun filter, shading the interior for relaxation, filtering rain, as well as giving bursts of oxygen with natural ventilation. The CLOUD structure is an idyllic place of contemplation and serenity high up in the trees.

With the exception of soccer, no other professional sports league has sexier players than Major League Baseball. NFL players are largely obese, over-muscled and brain addled from concussions; NBA players are freakishly tall and look silly in their baggy shorts; and the NHL teams are full of players with missing teeth and "ice rage" issues.
Granted, there's not a whole lot of running, jumping, or tackling involved in baseball. Still, the players look great standing around posing in their snug stretch pants that hug their groin, thighs, biceps and calves. And while they stand at home plate or out in the field waiting for next pitch it gives us fans time to ogle them as they play with their bat, adjust their cup, or stretch teasingly. Isn't this what fantasy baseball is all about?
Out of the 750 or so players on active rosters of Major League Baseball's 30 teams, here, in no particular order, are sixteen of my favorite players (vital statistics as of April 2014):
- Jacoby Ellsbury/NY Yankees (30 years old/6'1"/195 lbs.) - The half-Navajo Ellsbury is one of the few ball players, as last year's World Series could attest, whose close cropped beard added to his sex appeal. However, now that he's with the Yankees there will be no more facial hair.
- Giancarlo Stanton/Miami Marlins (24 years old/6'5"/245 lbs). Not only is this strapping superstar the youngest of my choices, his sexiness quotient increased considerably when, at the start of last season, he chose to be called by his given first name, Giancarlo. And then his ogle-worthiness exploded in the summer of 2013 when he appeared in ESPN Magazine's fifth annual "Body Issue". Then in the fall of 2014 his team signed him to a 13-year-contract worth $325 million.
- Joe Mauer/ Minnesota Twins (31 years old/6'5"/230 lbs.). For me, Joe's All-American good looks bring to mind the character Joe Boyd, the ball player in the movie, and Broadway musical, Damn Yankees. In addition to playing baseball Mauer was also a TV pitchman for Head and Shoulders shampoo.
- David Wright/NY Mets (31 years old/6'0"/210 lbs.) - He's like a little puppy dog, i.e. always smiling and eager to please. His appeal is enhanced further by the fact that he's an All Star caliber player. Not surprisingly, he's the Mets' "golden" boy.
- Grady Sizemore/Red Sox (31 years old/6'2"/200 lbs.) - Definitely a cool drink of water. After spending two years mostly on the disabled list, he was traded from the backwater of Cleveland to the Red Sox, which should get his adorable mug even more media attention.
- Albert Pujols/LA Angels (34 years old/6'3"/230 lbs.) - A slab of 100% pure Dominican beef with a mighty bat. Three MVP Awards and two World Series rings got him a 10-year, $254 million contract from his new team, the Angels. Ay papi indeed!
- Ichiro Suzuki/NY Yankees (40 years old/5'11"/170 lbs.) - Somewhat like Toyota, Ichiro is the Japanese import who has had the greatest success in the U.S., becoming one of the greatest hitters of all time.
- Carlos Beltran/NY Yankees (37 years old/6'1"/215 lbs.) - First, I've always had a weakness for the name Carlos. Second, I think he may have the sexiest mouth of any ballplayer. And although he's not of Cuban heritage, he has a vague resemblance to a young Desi Arnaz.
- Carlos Pena/LA Angels (35/6'2"/225 lbs.) - I told you I like the name Carlos, didn't I? Like Albert Pujols, Pena is big-batted Dominican known for hitting home runs. However, as his career winds down, Pena's strikeouts have become his defining feature. But he'd never have any trouble getting to first base with me.
- Matt Kemp/San Diego Padres (29 years old/6'4"/225 lbs.). Kemp is in serious competition with Giancarlo Stanton for title of alpha stud. Compared to the other players on this list, he easily had the most enticing pics to consider, making for a deliciously agonizing decision. This Dodger's little black book may be as filled as that of Derek Jeter (e.g. Rihanna, Eva Longoria) - and he's 10 years Jeter's junior.
- Nick Markakis/Atlanta Braves (30 years old/6'1"/190 lbs). One of the few players of Greek heritage, I'd love to see him in a toga debating with Socrates at the Acropolis as much as kneeling in the on-deck circle at Camden Yards.
- Angel Pagan/SF Giants (32, 6'2", 205 lbs). Pagan is the only member of the 2012 and 2014 World Champion Giants chosen for this list. Although he may not be considered a superstar in terms of his baseball skills (but he's still an excellent player), he's in the elite class of sexy players. And Angel is a perfect name.
- CJ Wilson/LA Angels (33 years old/6'1"/210 lbs.) - A pitcher who looks like he came from the same gene pool as the Indians' Grady Sizemore and Milwaukee's Ryan Braun.
- Ryan Braun/Milwaukee Brewers (30 years old/6'1"/200 lbs). One of baseball's few Jewish ballplayers, his nickname is the "Hebrew Hammer". Unfortunately, he's one of the players whose stellar MVP-caliber career has been blackened due to his lying about his use of PE drugs.
- Jose Bautista/Toronto Blue Jays (33 years old/6'/190 lbs.) - If you didn't know his name you might think Bautista is of Israeli heritage, but like Albert Pujols he's from the Dominican Republic. Over the past few years he's become quite a home run hitter.
- Sean Rodriguez/Pittsburgh Pirates (29 years old/6'/200 lbs.) - With a career batting average of only .225 he won't be getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but this Irish/Cuban hottie is batting 1.000 in the eye-candy department. Rodriguez was recently traded to the Pirates, my hometown team, so I feel an even closer affinity towards him.
- Lastly, a new manager was named to the Tigers in 2014 who merits addition to this honor roll. His name is Brad Ausmus, 45 years old, and he gives most of the players a run for their money in the beefcake department. Before being named manager of the Tigers he managed Israel's national baseball team. Besides a body, he's also has a degree from Dartmouth.

Please check out our Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography section for more information or to find manufacturers that sell these products.
For decades, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been the gold standard in the analytical laboratory for the chromatographic separation of complex biological matrices. For the last decade, however, a more powerful version of HPLC, called ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), has gained greater acceptance as the separation tool of choice. Ultra HPLC first appeared in 2003 with the release of the 1200 series by Agilent Technologies(Palo Alto, CA). Since then, improvements in the 1200 series, and the appearance of other UHPLC systems, have led to its increased usage. UHPLC takes HPLC systems to the next level. This article discusses some of the more salient features of select ultra high-performance liquid chromatography systems.
Analytical laboratories across the sciences must meet the objective of high productivity in generating and delivering their data, and the speed with which the lab churns out UHPLC data is no exception. One of the fastest UHPLC systems is the 1290 Infinity UHPLC System from Agilent Technologies, with a speed up to 20 times faster than conventional liquid chromatography (see Figure 1). Comparatively, the U-HPLC Systems LaChromUltra from Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc. (Schaumburg, IL) is 90% faster than conventional HPLC.
To increase the speed of UHPLC systems for its customers, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Columbia, MD) developed the Nexera UHPLC System, which is capable of reaching ultrahigh-speed chromatography cycle times and throughput levels of 4600+ samples. The system's fixed-loop injection feature results in ultrafast separation with minimized peak width and gradient delay with excellent injection reproducibility.
Additionally, as demonstrated by the Accela High Speed LC system from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA), the speed of UHPLC can be increased through its solvent delivery feature. The Accela is capable of rapid gradient formation with extremely low delay volumes of solvent. Just as the sample is injected under conditions of high pressure, the system also utilizes proprietary Force Feedback Control (FFC) technology to ensure a precise solvent flow and gradient formation.
UHPLC systems must include a method development feature, which may accelerate separation time. The Infinity allows the user to run conventional methods and develop new ones, with unlimited possibilities for automated method development. It also gives the user full compatibility with existing HPLC methods. In comparison, the Nexera UHPLC system has a modular design that enables numerous system configurations (i.e., 2-D, method development). Accela also features an accelerated method development time with quaternary solvent delivery.
With ever-increasing complexity in drug formulations and biological samples, it is critical for a liquid chromatography system to have extremely high resolution. The Infinity has up to 60% more resolution than conventional liquid chromatography systems. Resolution is a function of the type and size of the column as well as the solvent system.
The Infinity system features a broad range of more than 140 RRHT (Rapid Resolution High Throughput) columns, which are 1.8 μm in diameter, for a wide range of applications. By using identical column chemistry for both RRHT and HPLC columns, the system makes it easy, fast, and secure to perform method transfer from HPLC to UHPLC. It can process 2000 samples per day in the high-throughput configuration, which can be attributed to the Alternating Column Regeneration (ACR) feature.
The ACQUITY H-Class from Waters (Milford, MA) allows for temperature control in the column itself. With a variety of column heaters and multicolumn managers (with column switching), the ACQUITY H-Class offers the lowest possible dispersion and precise temperature management for the highest retention time.
UHPLC is only viable when the correct combination of pressure and column size is used. For example, the U-HPLC Systems LaChromUltra uses a 60-MPa (8700-psi) maximum pressure and 2.0-μm particle size columns, the combination of which results in ultrahigh-speed analysis. The system also has a unique handtight column fitting system that allows for "no-tools-required" column changing, thus making it very easy to change columns and methods.
The Nexera UHPLC operates at 19,000 psi, a pressure that yields very high resolution with the widest pressure/flow range for use with long, small-particle columns to maximize peak capacity. The Accela uses 1250 bar as a maximum pressure for HPLC and UHPLC applications; application flexibility in this system permits flow rates up to 5 mL/min at 600 bar via the Accela 600 pump.
Type and volume of solvent used in an UHPLC application is equally as important as the type of column used. The ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Bio System expands the typical solvent gradient by permitting multisolvent blending, thus enabling users to perform binary, ternary, or quaternary gradient operation.
Analytes separated by UHPLC must be subsequently detected and identified. Coupling of UHPLC systems with one of two detection instruments (UV detection or mass spectrometry) accomplishes this function. The Infinity system uses UV detection, which is up to five times more sensitive with the 1200 Series VWD SL Plus. Accela's UV detection instrument employs a photodiode array detector with proprietary LightPipe technology. The detection path contains a 1-cm pathlength and 2-μL LightPipe flow cell; UV absorbance is measured at two selectable wavelengths simultaneously. Measurement of an analyte's mass by tandem mass spectrometry will reveal its identity; Infinity and Accela feature this option.
Following the detection and/or identification of an analyte, there are many factors that can affect data quality. Carryover from sample to sample due to contamination of the flow cell is one reason for poor data quality. All of the aforementioned UHPLC systems feature low carryover for high data quality. The U-HPLC Systems LaChromUltra provides excellent data quality by employing a reduced system delay volume (as low as 266 μL) that minimizes peak dispersion, thus providing improved speed, resolution, and sensitivity. The system also has improved detector response (10 msec) that ensures data integrity for ultranarrow peak width.
In summary, UHPLC is a powerful tool for the laboratory. Combining a high-pressure sample injection system with narrow column diameters increases the speed of separation and produces sharper data peaks with high-quality data. Improvements to UHPLC systems have lent greater credibility to the technique and it is now widely accepted by researchers.

The main hero of Final Fantasy VII is the spiky-haired mercenary, Cloud Strife. He will always have two other members in his "party," which is the group you use in battles. Right away you meet Cloud's closest friends, Barrett and Tifa, the latter of which provides a potential love interest for Cloud. There is also a gentle flower saleswoman named Aerith (or Aeris in the original translation); Red XIII, a talking dog/fox; Cid, a foul mouthed and misogynistic rocket pilot; Cait Sith, a robot cat riding a fat marshmallow thing; Yuffie, a thieving child ninja; and Vincent, a dark gunman with a darker past. This moody bunch is out to save the planet from the evil Shinra Company, genetically engineered bad guy Sephiroth, and his monstrous mother Jenova, who crashed into the planet eons ago on a cursed meteor.
Confused yet? Just wait. The story becomes very convoluted at times, especially because you can spend several hours leveling up between plot points (to "level up" is to participate in a very large number of battles to make your characters stronger) and forget important details when you actually come back to the story. But in light of that, let me say that I have never been as satisfied to beat a game as when I struck the final blow to Sephiroth for the first time.
Compared to later Final Fantasies, I have to say Square did this one right. Leveling up is fun, the sidequests worthwhile, and the most powerful summon in the game, Knights of the Round, is a genuine reward for the hours spent earning it. Final Fantasy VII was my introduction to the series, and for that reason alone it holds a special place in my hierarchy life-wasting activities. This is not just a "great game for its time." FFVII still has exactly the right blend of story, challenge, strategy, and scope to be one of the best games ever made.

Data Channel Status Confirmation Extensions
for the Link Management Protocol
This document defines simple additions to the Link Management
Protocol (LMP) to provide a control plane tool that can assist in the
location of stranded resources by allowing adjacent Label-Switching
Routers (LSRs) to confirm data channel statuses and provide triggers
for notifying the management plane if any discrepancies are found.
As LMP is already used to verify data plane connectivity, it is
considered to be an appropriate candidate to support this feature.
Status of This Memo

What do the Twins really think of Delmon Young's defense?
Mar 17, 2011, 4:50 PM EDT
Kelsie Smith of the St. Paul Pioneer Press did a terrific job incorporating advanced defensive metrics into a recent article about Delmon Young.
She spoke to sabermetricians Bill James and John Dewan while noting that the 30 pounds Young lost last offseason didn't actually lead to major improvement in his fielding numbers and then used her access to get comments from manager Ron Gardenhire and outfield coach Jerry White.
For all the silliness trying to pit new-school versus old-school, I'm hoping to see more mainstream writers blend the two like Smith did.
My favorite excerpt is this Gardenhire quote:
We thought he was running faster, but that just meant he was chasing the balls he missed faster.
It'd be even funnier if it weren't so true, as Ultimate Zone Rating pegged Young as being 10 runs below average defensively last year. On the other hand White said Young "is actually a good outfielder" and "knows how to play guys." I find it almost impossible to believe White thinks Young "is actually a good outfielder," but the guy in charge of coaching outfield defense doesn't have much to gain by saying otherwise.
- kulserd - Mar 17, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Oh Delmon, that Gardy quote describes you to a "T". I can forgive your under-average defense if you knock 25+ homeruns.
- sometogethernow - Mar 17, 2011 at 9:17 PM
What I wonder is whether shifting back to RF, the main position he played until a few years ago, would make him less bad, at least. It probably won't happen this year, but Revere arriving and Kubel and/or Cuddyer departing could create an interesting shuffle next year.
- cur68 - Mar 17, 2011 at 9:26 PM
"We thought he was running faster, but that just meant he was chasing the balls he missed faster."
Gwaaaaad… what a burn. Did Gardy not realize that was gonna be fired through the internet? Well, its a good thing Delmon is so scrappy because he aint got much in the way of instincts in the outfield.
- luckywi - Mar 18, 2011 at 1:01 PM
The longer the ball is in the air, the less chance he has to catch it.
- cusoman - Mar 18, 2011 at 1:44 PM
Why is so much attention paid to Young's defense when Span's is just as bad, if not worse?
- luckywi - Mar 18, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Span does catch balls. He takes good lines to the ball. Delomon, want's to be a DH. And proves it very two or three games.

Love the chocolate chip cookies! Great flavor and reasonably priced. I have sampled many desserts in Door County, and these are by far my favorite cookies. I also love their cheese bread which contains one pound of cheese. Delicious!
OMG melt in your mouth cheesecake. If you're in Door County, you must check this place out. Many different varieties of cheesecake, coffee, wine and other tasty treats.
Cute enough place in a pretty remote location. Dying for some good cheese cake so sought it out. Closed early (by 5:00) on aSaturday night. Disappointed, but went back on Sunday. Shocked when he said $8.00 plus for an average size slice. Seems pretty pricey, but it was quite good.
Had a craving for a piece of cheesecake and saw the sign on the street but did not realize that it would be a hide and seek venture to locate the shop. Upon entry one sees a dimly lit large room with a small display case of different cheesecakes. It was difficult to determine if they were made in the...
My husband had cheesecake which he said was very good and the ice cream I had was also good. For all the advertising they did and the hype, I expected the store to have more in terms of selection. There really wasn't much to it. A few cakes to choose from and some ice cream.
The cheesecake is amazing - especially the banana fudge. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they were out of the cheesebread when I went. She said they the owner took all of the bread to the farmers market. What about the customers that came into the store? All in all though, friendly service with great cheesecake.
Family with the experience of running and providing cheesecake, soups and the like. Delicious. A little hard to find, in that it's in the lower area of Country Walk, but worth the effort.
I purchased slices of cheesecake because I had some coupons. The cheesecake was very good but i think it is highly overpriced. I will not purchase it again.
If you're looking for great cheesecake, head to this semi-hidden corner of heaven for pure taste-bud delight!
If you want it, they likely have it, fruit cheesecake, caramel, fudge, and the list goes on and on. Mini-bites are available and make it easier to sample more than one flavor. Prices are reasonable and a full line of drinks, smoothies, soups...
Not just cheesecake! If your traveling through Sister Bay, make sure to stop by and pick up a freshly baked loaf of cheese bread. Sice it and toss it on the grill for a few moments - you will wish you purchased 10 loaves!

They are very good guests.
They kept my house rule correctly and very friendly.
When they leave my house, they make my house in good condition.
So I hope them to come back again to my house.
Thank you.
We enjoyed very much having Mr Brenton and his daughter Shauna at my flat .They are simply great guests sincerely very independent
easy to communicate with and keep their room clean and tidy and
always followed the house rules in very respect .Overall it was
decent guest . Thank you Mr Brenton & Shauna !!
Brenton and his Daughter were terrific guests. They left the apartment in spotless condition. While staying they had an issue with the hot water in one bathroom and generously agreed to share the shower in the other bathroom. They handled the situation with a smile. Lovely people and highly recomended to other hosts. I hope to see them back again.
Brenton non è stato un buon ospite, ha chiesto di avere un later check out è oltre a trattare sul prezzo non l'ha pagato e ha preteso di rimanere lo stesso fino a tarda sera creandomi dei problemi con gli ospiti successivi ha alzato la voce spaventato i miei nuovi ospiti. Non consiglio assolutamente di ospitare questa persona che voleva fare il furbo rimanendo fino a quando gli faceva comodo senza pagare nessun supplemento.
Unfortunately Viviana is not what i would call a good host. Before i made the booking with her i iasked if it was possible for a late checkout. She replied that yes it was possible, and that i could check out at 5pm and had to pay 25 euros. So i assumed that everything will be ok for late checkout. So on the last day we went for a morning walk and returned to the apartment at 11am to make some lunch, only to find people in the apartment touching our belongings. Turned out it was a worker for Viviana. I was very annoyed that he was doing this. He called Viviana and she made it very clear that at no time did she give me permission to stay after 11am. I reminded her of the email and she denied it. So we frantically packed and left. This left me with nowhere to go for the rest of the day with all my luggage in tow. I chose not to leave any feed back about this experience, just putting it down to a misunderstanding and moving on. Clearly Viviana has had to have the last words and paint a very different picture of the incident. I did speak to her incoming guest and told them about the situation, but at no time did a raise my voice to them or the worker that was present. I can tell you that i was very annoyed to be put out on the street after having planned to not be leaving till 5pm. Anyway that is my side of the story,
Mr. Brenton is the most amazing client you may dream to host.
Charming, friendly, gentleman, clean cooperative and more and more.
His extraordinaire good manner, pays you back from others which might have given you hard times or, carrying pretentious behaviours.
A real experience traveller, with the right dose of sense of humor, flexibility and a huge respect of the environment he comes across.
The only risk while accepting his booking is that, you won't let him go!!
Thank you Brenton for having given the chance to host you
I didn't get to personally meet Brenton, but communication was always timely and the flat was left very clean & orderly.
I recommend Brenton
Brenton and his son were great guests. They respected all the house rules and left the apartment in great condition. Highly recommended.
Everything went very well. There have been no problems. I really liked Brenton. The apartment was clean. Want more guests like it. Recommend to all!!

Hi moms! Just to share with you, here is a stress reducer I use almost daily since this summer : it's a single app for iOS devices but is really a smart idea! Just like your mood lamp except you can bring it anywhere. I use to relax with it, my children love it, and you can even use it as a nightlight ! This is the 'lifesaver' part, it helped me more than once with children when not at home. I wish app developers have more often such good stuff to offer ! Enjoy and have a good day, Lili"

I have been on the SL hcg for 13 days and have been at the same weight for three days, I'm sticking to all the protocol and even doing cardio everyday not sure what to do, my husband is taking the same drops and is losing two lbs a day. Im bummed why is this happening?
Hi Christina
Well I would first stop the cardio. This complicates things with how your body responds to the sudden weightloss. Your body will begin to hold onto water and fat because this throws your body into survival mode.
First how much weight have you already lost and how much more do you have to go to your ideal weight. Secondly, what is your protocol? Many people believe they are following the original but are not.
Talk to you soon!

Matt and Melanie were warm and welcoming, making us instantly comfortable and feeling right at home. Melanie greeted us with glasses of sweet (yummy) wine and biscotti to enjoy while Matt went over the details of New Orleans (it was our first visit). He gave us a map and spoke with us for quite awhile reviewing a plethora of local information – restaurants, things to see/do, walking tips, etc.
We first got a tour of the beautifully decorated home and yard/garden. We stayed in the Saints Suite. Our room was spacious and comfortable, nicely decorated - colorful, fun and eclectic! It had a large sitting room with TV, fully stocked fridge (no additional charge for snacks, water, wine, beer, water, etc.), coffee maker and then a separate bedroom. We had a private balcony with a table and chairs, a large private bath with claw foot tub (with the best bath towels I have ever had on any vacation anywhere!). Sink was outside the bathroom making it easier for us to both get ready at the same time.
Breakfast was fabulous! Every day they had several locally made specialties – breads, jam, sausage bacon/maple donuts (one of the best things I ate in New Orleans) and a homemade dish like muffaletta, crawfish quiche… For those picky eaters who just want Kellogg's cereal or Greek yogurt, that is available too. We had an early tour one morning. When I mentioned that we would be missing breakfast, Melanie prepared a bag of snacks for us to take with us! Matt and Melanie sat at breakfast and chatted with everyone each morning – discovering what activities we had planned, giving advice, answering questions about area history – truly a lovely couple who make you feel like you have been friends for years. There was a newspaper available as well, for those like my husband who just want to read in the morning.
Don't let the location put you off, we found it to be excellent -it is a very safe area only a mile away from the French Quarter and close to CityPark. Quiet and peaceful (I can't imagine trying to sleep in the French Quarter at night) on a beautiful street in a neighborhood that has great local restaurants and bars – where we had 2 of our best meals. We didn't have a car but found the walk to the French Quarter and City Park to be lovely. The cab ride back to the hotel each evening was under $10 (about 5 minutes).
We also used the complimentary bikes to get downtown, tour the nearby cemetery and ride around CityPark and its sculpture garden. They are 1 speed Huffy's – perfect to get from point A to point B, probably not so great if you planned to do some long bike rides (although the area is pretty flat). It was nice to see more of New Orleans than just the French Quarter.
We stayed 4 nights – I feel one would be hard-pressed to find a better stay or nicer hosts elsewhere. Just an all-around great experience. We will definitely stay here again when we return! Great vacation!
New Orleans hotel - La Belle Esplanade - loved it!

Destructo - Party Up
Artist: Destructo
Featuring: YG
Producer: DESTRUCTO
Album: West Coast EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 5 votes )
When I hear the name "DESTRUCTO," I envision a massive robot programmed to annihilate anything and everything in its path. Though this Booth newcomer is, in fact, a human being, that image is nonetheless surprisingly apt, considering the havoc new EP single Party Up is likely to wreak on dancefloors nationwide. Here, the D.C.-born DJ/producer/CEO's throbbing four-on-the floor backbeat sets the stage for hedonistic verses from My N*gga auteur YG. Fans will be able to find Party Up and many more club bangers on Destructo's West Coast EP, due out this summer via Insomniac Records/Interscope Records.
Update: We have added the Motion Family-directed visuals for DESTRUCTO's Party Up single.

From Comrades to Bodhisattvas: Moral Dimensions of Lay Buddhist Practice in Contemporary China
written by Gareth Fisher
2014 | 301 pages | 13 illustrations
Cloth | ISBN 978-0-8248-3966-6 | $50.00
Topics in Contemporary Buddhism
"From Comrades to Bodhisattvas reveals for the first time an important and rapidly developing aspect of Chinese religiosity—the rise of lay Buddhism, which takes place in the cracks of China's strict system of religious control. Nothing in the current literature on Buddhism or on religion in China is comparable to Fisher's important contribution. His fascinating findings include, for example, showing how a 'karmic' morality offers an alternative for people unhappy with the more utilitarian morality of connection-building that characterizes much of life in Beijing. Other sections show counter-intuitively how a nostalgia for some of the ideals of the Maoist period—a sense of community, a commitment to a kind of egalitarian fairness for all, a broadly shared sense of thrift and poverty—can combine with Buddhist ideals to create a critique of the current system." —Robert P. Weller, Boston University

Cloth (Print on Demand) | ISBN 978-0-8248-3973-4 | $48.00
Dimensions of Asian Spirituality
In this compact volume, Steven Heine, who has written extensively on Zen Buddhism and koans, introduces and analyzes the classic background of texts and rites and explores the contemporary significance of koans to illuminate the full implications of this ongoing tradition. He delves deeply into the inner structure of koan literature to uncover and interpret profound levels of metaphorical significance. At the same time, he takes the reader beyond the veil of vagueness and inscrutability to an understanding of how koan writings have been used in pre-modern East Asia and are coming to be evoked and implemented in modern American practice of Zen.

"Gregory Schopen is undeniably one of the most important contributors to the evolving understanding of Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Secrecy's Power: Covert Shin Buddhists in Japan and Contraditions of Concealment
written by Clark Chilson
2014 | 235 pages
Cloth | ISBN 978-0-8248-3839-3 | $42.00
Nanzan Library of Asian Religion and Culture
Drawing on historical and ethnographic sources, as well as fieldwork among covert Shin Buddhists in central Japan, Secrecy's Power introduces the histories, doctrines, and practices of different covert Shin Buddhists. It shows how, despite assumptions to the contrary, secrecy has been a significant part of Shin's history since the thirteenth century, when Shinran disowned his eldest son for claiming secret knowledge. The work also demonstrates how secrecy in Shin has long been both a source of conflict and a response to it.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
In an attempt to push the Sicilian singer-deejay Alborosie in America, VP has repackaged his 2009 Greensleeves long-player 'Escape From Babylon' as 'Escape From Babylon To The Kingdom Of Zion', including some bonus tracks. For the European market, these extras have been collected on this hard-hitting digital release EP.
Owners of Alborosie's limited edition first album, 'Soul Pirate', will be familiar with his explosive emigrant's-eye-view of Jamaica, Kingston Town. Next we hear a pair of typically reverential tributes to two of his beloved seventies and eighties artists. There's a thumping cover of Steel Pulse's 1984 favourite Steppin' Out (with their remarkable-voiced singer David Hinds in tow). Then the hushed-toned Barry Brown's solemnly-paced Bunny Lee 1979 production Enter The Kingdom Of Zion is sampled for the up-tempo but equally heavy Kingdom Of Zion. Rub A Dub Style is fairly self-explanatory, letting Pupa freestyle over a beefy early eighties type rhythm. Finally, Blue Movie Boo is a departure into nineties style smutty dancehall – tellingly he describes it as a "futuristic ting"- aimed at the party crowd.
There's none of the existential introspection which veined the rest of 'Escape From Babylon': this is more of a straight-up sound system vibe. Alborosie remains an uncommonly consistent if rarely surprising artist and, at the time of writing, he shows no signs of losing his touch.

persimmon trees
Did anyone else get fruits on their persimmon trees this year?
I didnt and wondered if that late frost in Easter did it.
Does anyone know if these trees are male and female seperate plants?
No persimmons for me here in Central Missouri... Nor any other fruit except a few blackberries.
Do you have American persimmons?
I had to google this, but trees are either male or female. One site said female trees can produce seedless fruit if no pollinator... I thought that was interesting
We live in Indiana and my one persimmon tree was loaded with fruit. I collected seed from somewhere and brought them home and just threw them in the flower bed. I am always gathering seed from wherever we go. I also got a chickapin oak the same way. Both are way taller than our house in three or four years. This is thefirst year for persimmons though.

New chalets with en suite to all rooms, close to ski lifts. Great drying room. - Serge
nice cottage,
BBQ facilities (the owner uncle even helped to set up the BBQ set and fire for us while we're out shopping for BBQ food! - very helpful),
spacious bedroom,
cozy common lounge with WIFI,
very nice setting and surrounding - Anonymous
It was okay to compare with price we pay. We went there during high season so there is a bus stop in front of the pension. If there is no bus, the only way to get there is to take a taxi because it is quite far from JR Furano station.
Good for budget-concerned travellers who just want a night to stay in Furano. - Anonymous
polite staff - Anonymous
Beautiful wooden houses deep in the forest, and a very pretty (but long) walk to the central parts of Furano. Note that I rate location as "excellent" because I think the countryside-ish parts of Furano are its nicest! Also very friendly staff and a good place to talk to other travelers in the evenings.
There's a wonderful bakery in the neighboring house (open from 9 am)! - Anonymous
very polite and helpful staffs and boss.
it could show the real japanese culture to the traveller.
the boss was worried about me and find me at night!!!!he's a very good person!
although they dont know english at all but you can still communicate with them by using body languages and chinese hand writing. - Anonymous
I'm really grateful for the owner. Before we got there, my mom forgot her bag on the bus(her passport and money were in there). And the owner was helping us to call the bus station and even drove me to pick up my bag after they found it. He was very kind even he couldn't speak English at all. I'd like to thank him so much from the bottom of my heart, without his help we would be in a big trouble. Besides, the pension itself is located very near to the bus stop and the price is really reasonable - Anonymous

Will Goodwin
The post about unrealistic catalog pics brought this clematis back to mind for me. I saw it first in a magazine and it was the most beautiful blue, a perfect baby blue like you usually only see in hydrangeas. I didn't live in a climate where I could grow clematis at the time and years later when I moved to a place where I could I tried to find it again and the company had pulled it from their website and catalog, when I searched online I only found pics of a much less impressive pale lavender flower.
I did a search again today and out of the mostly lavender flowers there were a few that were similar to that stunning blue I first saw in the magazine, are they real or fake? Has anyone grown Will Goodwin who can say what the real color looks like? With the perfect conditions can it turn blue?
If not, what is your favorite blue clematis?
I have also fallen for blue photos, only to be disappointed when the bloom is more lavender, or a lighter blue. I'd say my hands-down favorite jewel-tone blue is Rhapsody, which is a show-stopper for me, but durandii and petit faucon are also good, and rooguchi is a lovely color but a different shape.
My Rhapsody is too young to have done much yet, but I linked below to the pics that won my heart and enabled me into buying Rhapsody!
As in most of these cases, Rhapsody is not a true blue. As harryshoe's pics show, it begins as a lovely purple clematis, but fades to bluish tones. My understanding is that that is the closest you will get to a blue clematis.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rhapsody

A University of Virginia Professor is celebrating a rare victory today – winning a Pulitzer prize for the second time.
Alan Taylor's latest book – The Internal Enemy -- tells the story of 3,400 slaves who escaped from Virginia and Maryland plantations to British ships off the coast during the War of 1812.
"I found some important documents, including some letters written by these former slaves, telling dramatic stories of their night time escapes, fighting on behalf of the British as marines and sailors and nurses and laundresses and guides and pilots."
For many places still blanketed in snow, it may be a while until we even see the ground again. But waiting patiently under there and soon to sprout, is a species so unique, that it's hard to categorize, yet so common, you'll know it instantly.
"Mushroom a Global History" is the name of a book Cynthia Bertelsen, a food writer and blogger in Blacksburg and an award winning cook, who's lived all over the world. More than a recipe book, she's written a highly readable cultural history of the sometimes-controversial fungus.
It's been over a year since the publication of a new book about Thomas Jefferson and his slaves. It won rave reviews from many parts of the country, but in Charlottesville the author is still attacked in certain circles.
Virginia's General Assembly has been caught in a dispute between Japan and Korea—and it's all over how students and teachers refer to the body of water between the two nations.
Throughout the session, Asian media, emissaries, and other interested parties have crowded committee meetings and Capitol hallways … and some have even met with the Governor.
The dispute is over whether the current name of the "Sea of Japan" in textbooks should be referred to in new versions as the "East Sea."
The death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman means a new actor will have to take on his role in the third installment of "The Hunger Games."
The series has 'caught fire' in more ways than one. An education professor says 'The Hunger Games' can become a powerful teaching tool in rural classrooms.
