Amazing days riding Springbok to Sendellingsdrif
Got up and left The Old Mill guest house at around 10 headed into town to grab some needle and thread to sew my tank bag up, the little hook doovalacky is breaking again and at this rate I've only got about 200 more repair jobs in it. Had a chat to Kubis before we headed off he told me about another border crossing at Sendellingsdrif so decided to take that one rather than the highway crossing in Vioorsdrift. Was a hell of a lot further like 350 odd k's compared to just up the road but oh well sounded good at the time.
Turned out not to be such a wise move if your coming to this border post make sure you get your carnet stamped at Alexandabaai or somewhere else if you can cause there isn't any customs office at this post. But oh well shit happens I just laughed and said to the border cop "oh well ill just have to go back i guess no drama's, he said "oh there should be more people in the world like you it would be a better place" so obviously they get a lot of people turning up and going off there nut about not being able to get their carnet stamped out here. I must admit its in the back of buggery well actually the Richtersveld World Heritage site. I'm not sure exactly how far it is buts its got to be well over a hundred k's to here on a pretty ordinary dirt road with some good spots chucked in. I got up to about a 100k's but mostly slower down to 50k's in most stages. Look I'm sure you could fang it harder but I'm by myself and there aint no one to help out here so just took it easy. I know I hear you, ya pussy.
Was pretty amazing though, just nothing for miles. Was 36 degrees Celsius so slightly warmish but nothing to bad.
As I was riding that last 100 odd k's I came across a Dutch guy Rembrant riding a little Chinese 200cc beast with a little pack with some water, cool hey. Stopped and chatted for awhile he told me he had just stayed a night down in Sanddrift about 10k's further on. He told me about Dicko who has a dream of riding from north of Africa to south on a Bmw so said well I better ride on into town and say g'day to this guy, as I had no idea where I was thought he might be able to point me in the right direction. Rode around Sanddrift for awhile stopped and chatted to a couple of kids then another group walked over with a Rugby ball and I give them the old "go the wallabies" to a whole group of hoots of no way. Headed off and stopped and talked a group of guys asking about fuel they just pointed to a bakke taxi heading off in the distance and said follow him so off I went.
Eventually found Dicko, bought a few Gatorade's to put something back into me and sat down for a chat. Was nice to meet you Dicko and you to Rembrant hope you enjoy South Africa as much as did. Dicko pointed me in the right direction I had missed the turn off about 10 or so k's back so jumped on my bike and headed off to Stellingsdrif. Was starting to get a bit tired had done close to 350k's half of them on dirt the other half flying along an amazing highway through some amazing hills and along the coast at nothing under 130 k's up to around 190. I actually was doing that one handed again videoing the speedo as I'm pretty sure it will be the last time in Africa ill get the chance to do that, well at least for awhile. Seriously though the highways are dead straight for miles and miles and miles smooth as a baby's bum, no wild life anywhere well other than a black Mamba I passed back up in the hills and yeah turned round to get a picture little shit of a thing arching up at me, lucky it pissed off into the bush, it was a dead man if it hadn't, in my book a good snake is a dead snake, oh I know that's terrible Sheldon.
After I got the bad news on the border crossing I went and sussed out some accommodation and got a chalet on the river, tough life for some of us but I'm making do. Kubis and his wife decided to stay here too so as soon as I rode in the gate Kubis saw me and came out saying, do you want a beer. Went over to my chalet and got out of my gear it was so hot in all of it, the way I've got it set up with my Fox knee pad shin guards Kevlar padded boxer under my wet weather daks off it comes in 2 minutes grab my thongs out of the back pocket of my dririder jacket and I'm walking over to grab a Heinekken and relax.
What a day, dont know if ive ever done a day like it with all the extremes of speed on fantastic highways, absolute isolation, winding through hills on dirt roads absolutely great fun, probably why when I was told I would have to go back I wasn't to unhappy. I've checked the maps out i can go back but a different way through the hills. There is an even shorter way through the Richterveld World Hertage Area but ill talk to the guys at the border post tomorrow cause if anything happens in there I'm on my lonesome, its sooo far from anything here. You know, we've got our outback in Australia so growing up knowing and hearing stories about people being lost and you can see it happening here that's for sure, its maybe not as bad here but still not going to take any unnecessary risks and being prepared is essential especially if I am going by myself into these regions. yeah yeah I know harden up princess. You actually have to sign in when you come on this road i guess if you don't come out in a week or two they know something's up, I've watched shitloads of Bear Grills with Logan I know it works in these dangerous situations I should be right ill just get some candy off the camera man like he probably does.
Its 153k's back through the hills to another town Eksteenfontein then about another hundred to Vioorsdrif border crossing so have some fun again tomorrow without taking any wrong turns like today. While I was riding along in the middle of nowhere like 20 k's from Sandrift where I got the Gatorades from Dicko's I came across 3 blokes sitting on the side of the road obviously waiting for someone to come along for a lift.
Stopped to talk to them offered them some ciggies and one bloke asked if I had some water so gave them some water, he's poured it in his gob and spat it straight on the ground it must off been nearly boiling, I said to him in the zipper and he opened it up and there's a full Gatorade still pretty cold, should of seen the look on their faces like all their Christmas's had come at once, ciggies, a cold Gatorade, to easy everyone was happy.
Finished the day off with an amazing sunset it was like the sky was on fire got a semi decent pic I'm not sure if it does it justice though. Anyway bla bla I'm rooted over and out.

Anupama Shrimali's concert provided a glimpse into her sadhana, M.A. Jyothi's singing lacked vigour
Anupama Shrimali (Ganabharathiat Veene SheshannaBhavana) gave her vocal recital,accompanied by H.S.Thandavamurthi (violin) andM.R. Manjunath (mridanga).Melodious voice made for expressionswas congenial for depictingthe deeper aspects ofclassical music. Deep graces set totwo speeds, clear accents and afine sense of shruthi in ThiruvottiyurThyagayya's varna, "Karunimpa"(Shahana), amplydenoted her sadhana and commitment.
Had she maintained the abovefervour with an added flavour ofversatility in the rest of the presentations,the entire picturewould have definitely gone in herfavour. The overall planning andapproach seemed to have driftedmore towards the lighter aspects.This attenuated impact could notcommand unreservedappreciations.
In the absence of significantspontaneity, the renderingsmainly appealed by virtue of gentlevocal inflections, clarity in accentsand a moderately slow pacethat favoured easy comprehensionof the body of the texts. JayachamarajaWadiyar's "ShriMahaganapathim" (Atana),Muthayya Bhagavathar's twocompositions "Saarasamukhi"(Goudamalhar) and "Vanchatomune"(Karnaranjani), andThyagaraja's "Nagumomu" (Abheri)trod very plain paths.Encouraging"Banturithi" (Hamsanada),"Maa Janaki" (Kamboji - both ofThyagaraja) featuring short alapanasand few strains of swarakalpana,flashed for a momentencouraging impressions of gainingnecessary momentum.Of the 14 numbers, a neraval (at"Munimanasa") appeared only in"Rama Rama Gunaseema" (Simhendramadhyama- Swathi Thirunal).
In the alapana section, she admirablyimbued into the sancharasall the features essential for aclear identification of the raga;yet, much of its substance remainedunexplored.
Other highlights - Purandaradasa's"Chandrachuda" (DarbariKaanada) and "Raagi Tandira"(Tilang), Vadiraja's "Govinda"(Ragamalika), and Vasudevacharya'sTillana (Kannada).
* * *M.A. Jyothi (Ganabharathi) sang,accompanied by Aditi KrishnaPrakash (violin) and G. S. Kumar(mridanga). This artiste's voicewas supple and melodious, butthe progressions lacked consistency.At times, exceptional tonalqualities faced downward trends,either for want of vigour or for noapparent reason.
Meanings of the lyrics successfullyreached the audience,through clear diction supplementedby melodic nilugades,bringing them under the influenceof the expected moods.
The first two presentations -"Maruva" (varna - Amrithavarshini- Yoganarasimha) and "Mahaganapathim"(Amrithavaahini- Jayachamaraja Wadiyar) may bequoted as fitting examples substantiatingher plus points: a majesticprogression accompaniedby admirable graces featured boththe compositions.
With the rest of the concert,one could find occasional, butperceptible traces of instability,and as a natural sequel, the sancharasbetrayed signs of imbalance.Muffled inflections marredthe mandra sancharas.
She interpreted Thyagaraja's"Ragarathna Maalikache" (Rithigaula)and Subbayya Shastri's"Nipaadamule Gathi" (Bhairavi)embellishing them with pleasingalapana, impressive neraval andscholarly swarakalpanas. As thelatter happened to be the focus, itincidentally comprised a tani avarathana.Liberal employment ofartistic imagination would haveburnished her scholarly competencetransforming the endeavoursinto a distinctly brightaccomplishment.
Other presentations were"Dhayarani" (Mohana-Thyagaraja),"Shri Kamakshi" (Saaranga -Annayaswamy Shastri - with ashort alapana), "Annapurne Vishalakshi"(Saama - Dikshitar) andso on.
One common factor that underminedboth the above concertswas frequent references tonotes. This substantially jeopardisedinvolvement, wherein spontaneousflow of both mood andartistry were at stake.

|Site-specific management of crop production systems holds promise for maintaining high yields while preserving soil quality. This management requires detailed spatial data on soil physical and chemical characteristics but traditional testing can be slow and expensive. Recently, sensor-based approaches including reflectance spectroscopy have been proposed as alternatives for quicker, easier soil analysis. The objectives of this study were to investigate the soil property estimation capabilities of reflectance sensing with a spectrometer and with a mobile two-band sensor. In the spectrometer evaluation using profile (to 1 m) samples collected from 32 plots with varying soil characteristics, several important soil quality properties were successfully estimated. Highest accuracy was for dried and ground soil samples which had an R2 of 0.97 and 0.91 for total carbon and nitrogen, respectively. Results with field-moist soil were nearly as accurate, showing that this may be a viable, and more efficient, option. The mobile two-band sensor was evaluated in two central Missouri production fields. It showed good accuracy (R2 = 0.75) for estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) with 20 in-field calibration points. However, this accuracy was not maintained when calibration equations were applied in full-field mapping. Laboratory data collection showed that a sensor with different wavelength bands might provide more accurate results, but this would need to be verified with a wider range of soils.

Investments and other subsidies
General Investment Regime
Investment Law 16.906 declares the national interest of the promotion and protection of domestic and foreign investment and, through Decree 2/012, establishes the following benefits for the investments carried out in the country:
Particular Investment Regime for renewable energy
Within the frame of Law 16.906, Decree 354/009 establishes particular benefits for the generation of electricity from non-traditional renewable sources (defined as the native renewable sources such as wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic (PV), geothermal, tidal and wave energy, as well as the energy produced from the use of different types of biomass).
The main benefit consists of CIT exemptions equivalent to:
Other benefits:
Promotion of solar thermal energy
In 2009, Law 18.585 declared of national interest the investigation, fabrication, implementation and development of solar thermal energy. The law, along with Decree 451/011, established the exemption of VAT, Internal Excise Tax (IMESI), duties and custom taxes applicable to:
In 2012, the Government launched a Solar Program focused on developing solar thermal energy for residential users. The new program provides loans, financial discounts and payment facilities for those who install solar thermal technology in their houses.
Law 18.585 also introduced the obligation of incorporating solar thermal technology in sport clubs, hospitals, hotels and heated swimming-pool, under certain circumstances. According to this law, at least 50 percent of the energy required to heat the water should come from solar thermal energy. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the permit for the construction works is denied.
New public buildings (that is, state owned) are also obliged to incorporate this source of energy.
As from June 2012, the Ministry of Industry is entitled to request to all new industrial and agro-industrial developments to perform a technical study on the feasibility of incorporating solar thermal technology to the project.
Uruguay is recognized as a country with excellent conditions for the development of renewable energy, attracting the attention of national and international investors. The government – with the support of the opposition parties – has set forth the goal of becoming a model country in this area. The authorities intend that, by the year 2015, at least 50 percent of the primary energy matrix of the country will come from renewable sources.
Although the focus is placed on all types of renewable energy, the most popular these days is wind power. The initial goal of reaching 300 MW of wind generation by 2015 is expected to be fully achieved, as well as the 2016 goal of 1200 MW, assuming all the awarded wind farm projects are implemented. Investment in this area has reached USD2 billion.
In 2010 the government set the goal of incorporating 200 MW from biomass sources to the primary energy matrix by 2015. Accordingly, the Uruguayan energy utility (Usinas y Trasmisiones Eléctricas or UTE) promoted one tender during 2011, in which the total amount offered by the private companies has already exceeded the 350 MW. However, not all the projects offered are currently coming to life and, in virtue of this, a new tender call for biomass projects is expected to be launched during 2014.
Uruguay has several natural resources that can be used as primary elements for the generation of biomass energy:
Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
At the moment, the only ongoing project is a solar PV farm of 480 kilowatts-peak (kWp) and 10.000 m2 of PV modules, located in the north of the country. The farm is owned by UTE and was financed by the International Cooperation Agency of Japan under the scope of the "Cool Earth Program" of the Japanese government.
In May 2013 the Government launched a tender call for the purchase of solar PV energy. The tender contemplates projects of three different ranges: i) 500 kW to 1 MW, ii) 1 MW to 5 MW and iii) 5 MW to 50 MW.
For ranges i) and ii), the bidders have to offer a price and the total amount to be awarded cannot exceed 6 MW. On the other hand, for range iii), bidders will have to adhere to a pre-established price of USD91.5/MWh, and the total amount to be awarded cannot exceed 200 MW.
The companies that participated in the referred tender call, proposed projects for a total amount of 166 MW. Some of these projects are already under construction. New tender calls are expected to be launched in 2015.

McFaul Departure Leaves Void During Ukraine Crisis
- By John HudsonJohn Hudson is a senior reporter at Foreign Policy covering diplomacy and national security.
- john.hudson
- @john_hudson
The Obama administration is stepping up its diplomatic pressure on Moscow to withdraw from Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. One problem with that approach: Washington has no ambassador in Moscow to carry it out.
Just days before thousands of Russian troops streamed into Ukrainian territory, Michael McFaul stepped down from his post as U.S. ambassador to Moscow — leaving the embassy in the hands of deputy chief of mission Sheila Gwaltney, a State Department veteran who has spent much of her career dealing with Russia.
Read more from FP on former Amb. Michael McFaul
McFaul's had a rocky two-year tenure in Moscow, but diplomatic experts said his close ties to senior Russian officials would offer an important line of communication during crises like the current standoff over Crimea.
"The personal relationships an ambassador has are not something you can immediately inherit," said Matthew Asada, a U.S. diplomat and State Vice President of the American Foreign Service Association. "It's something that's developed over time."
Asada told The Cable that those relationships determine whether a U.S. diplomat can get a Russian official on the phone in the middle of the night and feel comfortable floating scenarios to resolve disputes diplomatically.
Andrew Kuchins, the director the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the lack of an ambassador was particularly risky because of the "high stakes and stress" of the escalating tensions between Washington and Moscow.
"I think it would certainly be preferable for us to have our embassy headed by an ambassador especially during a time of high stress and stakes like now," he said. "It is another asset for us on the ground to read between the lines about what the Russians are saying and how that may or may not correlate with their goals."
For now, that job falls to Gwaltney, the deputy chief of mission and former American consul general in St. Petersburg. It's not clear how long she'll be in the post as chargé d'affaires: the White House hasn't nominated a new ambassador, and any pick would then have to make its way through a divided Senate. It's also not clear who will get tapped for the job. A U.S. shortlist circulating in Russian media reports includes career diplomats John Tefft, Steven Pifer, Carlos Pascual, as well as nuclear security expert Rose Gottemoeller. Sources speaking to The Cable said Tefft was a top contender, but cautioned that no decision had been reached. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.
The next U.S. ambassador will have big shoes to fill, for better and for worse.
McFaul spent three years as the top Russian official on the National Security Council before heading to Moscow. He presided over an unusually tumultuous period in Russian-American relations. His achievements as ambassador included helping to broker a New START treaty to reduce the two countries' nuclear arsenals, opening supply routes through Russia for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and winning Moscow's support for an interim nuclear deal with Iran.
But much of his tenure was also colored by dramatic disagreements between Washington and Moscow over the bloody civil war in Syria, Russia's sheltering of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and Russian President Vladimir Putin's escalating crackdown on his country's journalists, NGOs, and pro-democracy activists. McFaul began his tenure by sitting down with members of the Russian opposition, a move Putin regarded as a clear provocation and never quite forgave.
Media outlets and journalists with ties to the Kremlin responded by having McFaul savaged in Russian state-run television stations and newspapers. Pro-Putin mobs also held raucous demonstrations outside the heavily-secured and sprawling U.S. Embassy compound. Still, diplomatic experts said McFaul's tense relationship with Putin never diminished his value to Washington.
"Mike's tenure in Moscow as ambassador was made very difficult and unpleasant at times by the Russians, creating a lot of controversy around him," said Kuchins. "Nevertheless, Mike is an extremely experienced Russia hand, and I think the administration would certainly benefit from his insights if he were still there."

Institutional support for and embrace of a commitment to animal welfare of the laboratory animals is essential. Veterinarians and animal care personnel who work with research animals on a daily basis should have adequate time and contact with the animals to properly evaluate their well-being. Funding for training programs is crucial to the training and development of specialized laboratory animal veterinarians and animal behaviorists and should increase, because in addition to such objective measurements as weight loss or lack of grooming, clinical judgment is vital to effective assessments of stress and distress.
Appropriate statistical methodologies are an essential tool for the avoidance, minimization, and alleviation of distress.
There should be a clearinghouse (or some other venue such as a website or a specialized peer-reviewed journal) for publication of research on the effects of enrichment strategies on parameters such as physiology, distress, and endpoints for all laboratory animals (one useful example is the Primate Enrichment Database hosted by the Animal Welfare Institute).1 Although a variety of journals (such as Lab Animal, Applied Animal Behaviour Science, Animal Welfare, Laboratory Animals, Contemporary Topics in Laboratory Animal Science, Comparative Medicine) publish research pertaining to animal welfare, the highly specialized nature of the field makes it difficult for the larger scientific community to remain informed about recent advances and ongoing debates. Biomedical research journals should be more open to submissions from scientists whose research focuses on animal welfare issues so that concerns about research interference or unjustified expenses can be debated on scientific, ethical, or regulatory grounds.
Obtaining funding for welfare research is often difficult, especially when project applications compete against other fields of science due to lack of an appropriate/separate research oversight body. In the United Kingdom the funds available for welfare research have increased dramatically with the founding of the National Center for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs).2 In the United States, the National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal institutions have occasionally provided funding to develop or validate

Areca Peter Bay is named after the areca palm that produces seeds traditionally thought to have a calming effect when chewed. But you won't need to risk this traditional remedy for stress. Areca Peter Bay's privacy, its incredible 180 degree views of the Caribbean from St Thomas to Tortola and the many cays and small islands in between, its professional tropical landscaping, extensive outdoor living spaces and air conditioned interior luxury will calm even the most jangled nerves.
The villa is located in exclusive Upper Peter Bay and nestled between famous Trunk and Cinnamon Bay beaches. Areca villa guests have access to private Peter Bay beach, which is a few minutes drive or hillside walk down the private paved road. Parking is provided at the head of the beach walk.
The villa is unique in that it is situated on over 1 acre and is bordered by National Park to the east, and to the west, a long, gated, expertly landscaped drive provides complete privacy as well. It is truly a special and unique spot for your Caribbean dream vacation.
All five en suite king bedrooms can be rented together, or the Main House (3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths) can be rented alone. The Guest House is never rented separately from the Main House, so every group is assured of complete privacy and exclusive use of all exterior spaces.
Keywords: Private, Luxury Villa, 180 degree ocean view, private beach access, bordering National Park land
My husband and I completed construction on our Peter Bay Villa in 2009. This photo was taken early on during construction. My husband's law practice is on St Thomas where we live. I manage the villa--greeting each group of guests and orienting them to the villa and the area and continuing to be available throughout your stay if the need arises.
Diana Hall purchased this villa in 2009
My husband and I built the villa on property in Peter Bay that has been in his family for several generations. We felt very blessed to have such a lovely spot to build on and put a lot of personal energy and creativity into building the home. We currently live on St Thomas but will eventually retire to St John.
The outdoor living in such an incredible location coupled with all the indoor comforts make staying here peaceful and relaxing. Between the architecture, the landscaping, and the view, you never run out of beautiful things to look at. And the north shore beaches are minutes away!
"This is the most lovely home and the most spectacular views my family has ever experienced"
I was so impressed with our stay at Areca. The view was stunning and we enjoyed every evening out on the veranda overlooking the ocean. Everything that you would expect from a luxury villa was present. Need i say more?
Diana was very helpful and responsive. The service was excellent. During our stay, the grill died. The very next day (which was a Sunday), we had a new grill by 1 pm without any requests/compliants on my part. This is St. John. They had to get a grill in St. Thomas, bring it over and put it together and did so by 1 pm. I appreciated the service and felt confident that she would be responsive to any request or emergency.
Villa is 10-15 minute ride to Cruz Bay and about 5 minutes from Trunk Bay. Peter Bay beach is very nice and wasnt used much during our stay. I highly recommend this villa
My family and I just came back from a week at Areca. After planning this trip for about a year, I was a bit nervous worrying if I was expecting too much or if the place could possibly be as nice as it looked online. We arrived after a long day of travelling, 10 of us, including 2 little ones. We met Diana at the car barge and she escorted us to the villa. Truly, none of us could believe the impressive drive to Areca and upon arrival, we were in awe of the spectacular views and the home which we would be calling ours for the week. It is spacious, comfortable, has lots of privacy and every amenity you could want. It is impossible to mention all the things we loved as it provided all of us beautiful accommodations, gorgeous pool, outstanding outside entertaining area, with grill, bar and comfy seating to have our evening cocktails and dinner. Areca is a perfect location...minutes to gorgeous North Shore beaches and 15 minutes to town. We ate out a few nights, hiked, checked out a few local late afternoon happy hours and were always happy to get back to Areca. Never will you tire of the views! The pool is wonderful, and several afternoons we just stayed put in relaxed, swam and dozed by the pool...There are lots of beach chairs, coolers, towels for your treks to the beaches. The kitchen had every thing you needed....extremely well equipped. Bathrooms and bedrooms very comfortable and private. Several days we hiked down to lower Peter Bay to the beach...great workout, especially on the way back! We will definitely be back to Areca....a lovely home and a very special place!!!
Our adult children, spouses and significant others vacationed at Areca (eight of us) and it is difficult to put into words HOW wonderful our stay at Areca was!! We all needed to get away from it all and relax and total relaxation is what we got! The villa is absolutely beautiful with all the amenties you can ask for. The home and guest house and beautifully designed with large bedrooms and bathrooms, private balconies, and the outside veranda on the main house is the perfect spot for morning coffee and more than 180 degree views of the Caribbean. Our guys went deep sea fishing and caught Mahi Mahi and tuna which we ended up grilling for dinner. Eating in the dining area outside made it so enjoyable. The turquoise waters and white beaches lay just below the shoreline and if relaxing there isn't enough, the infinity pool, with chaise lounges and a hammock will certainly do the trick! Even tho' we had a few overcast days and a little rain, the warm trade wind breezes made those days equally enjoyable and everyone had a turn napping in the hammock. There are beautiful tropical plants all around the house and grounds and extremely private. Only the sound of the waves from the ocean and the tropical birds could be heard. Diana and Sam were so wonderful to deal with as well. Not having been to the islands, I had a million questions to ask before embarking on our trip and Diana was always quick to respond with very helpful information. Sam greeted us at the ferry dock and drove us to the villa, explaining everything about Areca and making us feel comfortable from the very start. We loved it at Areca and were actually depressed when we had to leave. You will NOT be disappointed with anything at Areca! It truly IS paradise. Next visit will have to be for TWO weeks!!! Thanks Diana and Sam for sharing your beautiful home with us!!
For our first family visit to st John, we wanted a great villa to accommodate 7 adults and a baby. The owner, Diana, was so easy to work with and so quick to help and volunteer all sorts of good info.
She met us at the dock with the rental car keys and then took us for the orientation tour.
The drive to the villa is so gorgeous, we knew we were in for a great experience. Bur when we arrived to Areca, we were just thrilled with what we found. That view(s )!!! The pool is beautiful and a nice size and gets sun all day! We loved sitting outside in the comfy lounge chairs or on the pool floats or pool bench watching the view. The interior of the villa is quality everywhere and classic good taste. A fully outfitted kitchen was used a lot, and we cooked out on the grill several nights in order to eat at the big table with the best view on the island. An outside ice maker , fridge and sink were handy. The furniture in the great room was the most comfy of any villa I have ever been in! Then, we had the same furniture upstairs in the smaller living area! Beds were amazing with wonderful linens and pillows! Wish I had the same!
The master was so big and spacious ( and bath and closet huge, also) with a big balcony and more comfy lounging area and VIEW! There is a nice king guest room upstairs, also, with balcony. The 3rd king guest room is on the main level, and was good for the person with a bad knee not to have to do stairs. The pool house has the other 2 bedrooms, and we only used the upstairs one ( only because of that upper view)! It is nice with a swell outdoor shower ( did I mention the view?) and plenty of room for the baby bed ( christys provisioning) , tho the villa has a nice pak n play we used, too.
They have plenty of pool floats and chairs -- ice chests to take to the beach, gobs of nice beach towels and washer dryer. The hammock on the pool deck was a great addition. They have landscaped this area so that you know you are in a tropical and private paradise. I really appreciated that they leave some kitchen necessities as opposed to cleaning out everything. We had a variety of liquor, some cokes and beers, paper goods of every kind ,spices, oils , vinegars, coffee, teas, sweeteners, etc
You will not want to leave!!
It was just perfect for our needs ( and wants!).
The beautiful north shore beaches are right below !
Exceeded our expectations and much better than pics show!!
You will have a wonderful vacation at Areca...so don't hesitate to book this !
We stayed at the Areca Villa the first week of December of 2011. It was a wonderful experience. There was not a bad view from any room of the villa. We spent a lot of time taking in the majestic views from the infinity pool and from the outside living areas. It was a peaceful experience due to the views, comfort, and privacy after spend the day exploring the different beaches.
Diana was a great host. She helped a great deal before the trip and during the trip. She proved to be a great resource in making suggestions in planning the trip. She also sent a few e-mails to check in during our stay. She was accessible while we were at the villa incase there was anything she could do to make the stay more enjoyable.
Overall this was a great vacation due to Diana's hospitality and the magnificent villa.
Bordered by Virgin Islands National Park. Private beach access. Sport fishing. Sail and power boat rentals and excursions.

Read a fiction book with recipes in it
I read a book to earn this badge:
Everything on a Waffle
Everything on a waffle by Polly Horvath
Primrose Squarp's parents have been lost at sea for months, but she insists they're still alive somewhere, shipwrecked and waiting for rescue. As she waits for their return, she moves in with her uncle, befriends the sassy owner of The Girl on the Red Swing cafe (where everything is served on a waffle), and deals with her school's snooty guidance counselor, Miss Honeycut. I loved the colorful cast of characters in this book, as well as the vivid descriptions of Primrose's hometown of Coal Harbour, British Columbia.

The biography of Nesâtî. This page has biographical information on Nesâtî, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
Nesai (–1674) was the pen name (Ottoman Turkish : mala s ) of an Ottoman poet. He was a Sufi, or Islamic mystic, of the Mevlevî order, and his poetry is often considered exemplary of the "Indian style" ( sebk-i hindî ) of Ottoman poetry, a movement which flourished beginning in the 17th century.

Took mother in law for a short break as a birthday gift. Nice clean rooms but mine and my wife's was rather too hot as it was over the kitchen, this was the only thing that detracted from a 5* stay. Staff excellent, very helpful, food is very good and plentiful. Would recommend to others to stay. Quite close to York centre, but quiet at night, good base for exploring York's attractions. less
Me and my partner stayed for 2 nights bed and breakfast, the whole stay was amazing,great staff,great rooms and amazing food! All staff and the manager could not do enough for us.
We regularly visit York and we will not stay at any other hotel in the future! The kilima will be our first choice everytime. Fantastic.
Thanks for a great stay and see you soon!! less
Arrived for a 1 night stay and received a very ward welcome. The hotel is a convenient stroll into York, about 20 minutes and a great base. We stayed in a family room, with a sitting room area and appreciated the extra space this gave. The bed was a sort of 4 poster - it had posts but not the drapes, and one criticism was could be the size of the bed (it felt small so I would guess a standard double). The pool was lovely and appreciated for an early morning swim, the gym has one bike, one rower, a stepper and some free weights - not really geared for any major training and a little dated. One lovely touch was the availability of a selection of toiletries and an honesty box in reception, thank you Chris! One criticism is the lack of conditioner in the complimentary bathroom products. less
One of the friendliest hotel have ever stayed in . Chris is fantastic and booked us in a great room. made full use of the facilities, the restaurant was busy and comfortable , great food and bar .. loved it thanks less
My husband and I stayed at kilima hotel at the weekend + we had a fantastic time.
All of the staff were amazing+made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they arranged taxis for us, gave honest advice about the attractions in York + lent us champagne glasses and an ice bucket for a bottle we had brought with us (as our glasses broke in the journey).
The room was very nice and comfortable, the shower was very good, the bed+pillows were very comfy+there was plenty of tea,coffee etc available.
We both really enjoyed our breakfast, there is plenty to choose from including cheese on toast!! My husband does not eat eggs, bacon etc+so he often struggles at breakfast, but not here!
We had some drinks in the bar which we put on our room and paid at the end of our visit+we were very surprised at how little they cost.
The hotel is literally only 15 mins walk to the centre, there is a bus stop just across the street and it's only a couple of pounds to get a taxi.
We definitely recommend this hotel+are already planning to return with our family later this year. less

Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 8 hrs
This is adapted from "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. There are similar recipes here but not one quite like this that I've found. While not a TRUE rotisserie chicken, it is much cheaper, and much more accessible since the closest grocery rotisserie chicken I can get is an hour away. You can put this on a "rack" of foil balls in your crock if you'd like to keep the chicken up out of the grease. Also, I save the drippings, bones, and skin, then toss them back in the crock with a couple of cut up carrots, some celery, onion, and garlic and cover with water, cook for a few more hours on low, strain, chill, skim fat, and freeze for homemade rotisserie chicken stock - yum!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (4 -5 lb) whole roasting chickens
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt (less if you like, this amount approximates the saltiness of the store bought kind)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (you can use regular, I like the smoked flavor)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 4 whole garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 yellow onion, quartered (optional)
- Spray the inside of a 5 quart or larger crockpot with nonstick spray.
- Combine all dry ingredients. The cayenne and black pepper are optional, I leave them out because I have small toddlers who don't care for "hot" food.
- Rub the dry ingredients all over the chicken, inside and out, and place in crockpot, breast side down.
- If desired, place onion and garlic inside chicken cavity (I don't use these).
- Cook 4-5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.
- The chicken should be so tender it will fall off the bone. If appearance matters to you, just shove the pieces back together on your platter.
Most Helpful
Sooooooo easy ~ moist and very good! I made this at my DIL's house and used plain paprika as that was all she had on hand, but next time I will use smoked paprika. I used 1/2 teaspoon salt instead of the suggested amount in the recipe! I crocked a 5.29 lb roaster on top of foil balls for 5 hours on HIGH ~ Made for Spring PAC 2011.
This was great! So happy with the flavor. I put on foil balls like other reviewers suggested. The gravy was amazing!!
Rated as a good; seasonings were good. However, the cooking time was way off as are many slow cooker recipes. Cooked time was listed as 8 hours on low. Removed chicken from crock ot after 6 1/2 hours and it was so overdone. Meat was falling off the bone and breast was dry. If you make this reduce the cooking time and check temperature with a thermometer.

"For us to solve this extraordinary problem that is so many years in the making, it's going to take the cooperation of both parties. It's not going to happen in any other way," the president said.
He reiterated his call for a bipartisan fiscal commission, which recently was blocked by Republicans in the Senate. He said he would create the commission by executive order.
The president said both parties have to be serious in the effort and put politics aside.
"Our fiscal challenge is not subject to interpretation. Math is not partisan. There ought to be a debate about how to close our deficits," he said. "What we can't accept is business as usual, and we can't afford grandstanding at the expense of actually getting something done."
The president said he thinks it is "realistic" to get a package moving quickly in the Senate, and outlined areas where he believes they can get agreement between Democrats and Republicans: the idea of eliminating capital gains for small businesses, and a mechanism to get community banks who are lending to small businesses more capital
Within his bipartisanship-heavy message, the president sent the message to the Senate to not delay the confirmation process of positions in government that have been held up.
"I respect the Senate's role to advise and consent, but for months qualified, non-controversial nominees for critical positions in government, often positions related to our national security, have been held up despite having overwhelming support."
Obama mentioned the hold-up by Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., who until Monday of was holding up more than 70 pending presidential nominees.
"That's not advise and consent; that's delay and obstruct," Obama said. "One senator, as you all are aware, had put a hold on every single nominee that we had put forward, due to a dispute over a couple of earmarks in his state."
The president said that in his meeting today he asked the congressional leadership to put a stop to these holds and set aside partisanship. If not, he warned, he will move without them.
"I made this very clear -- if the Senate does not act to confirm these nominees, I will consider making several recess appointments during the upcoming recess, because we can't afford to allow politics to stand in the way of a well-functioning government," he said.
Obama said his administration is working on "a significant regime of sanctions" aimed at Iran after Teheran rejected an offer to sit down and negotiate the future of its nuclear programs and ambitions.
"We are going to be looking at a variety of ways in which countries indicate to Iran that their approach is unacceptable," the president said of the next steps, adding that the United Nations will be "one aspect of that broader effort."
Obama said the United States has "bent over backwards" to say to Iran that it is willing to engage in a "constructive conversation" about cooperating with the international community.
Obama did not outline a timeline for sanctions. He said the international community is united in its stance against "Iran's misbehavior," but added that it remains to be seen how China will approach this at the U.N. Security Council. The president said he is pleased with how "forward-leaning" the Russians have been on this issue.

A Lewis Center man was convicted Thursday in Delaware County Common Pleas Court on six counts related to the 2012 rape of an 18-year-old man.
Larry Fox, 46, was convicted of two counts of rape, one count of abduction and three counts of kidnapping stemming from the Oct. 16, 2012, incident at the Worthington Arms mobile home park.
Fox's uncle, Harry Fox, 63, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping and one count of assault last year and was sentenced to 13 years in prison after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors. Part of the deal included Fox's commitment to testify against his nephew.
The older Fox was considered an accomplice to crimes committed with his nephew. Court documents describe the "court session" style crime involving "death metal" music, a Nazi flag, and a machete heated with a blow torch.
The teenage victim was purportedly stripped, handcuffed, and threatened with the machete when ordered to perform sexual acts on the younger Fox, according to the case document.
Prosecutors said the incident occurred after the teen did not return with the $200 worth of marijuana the Foxes had ordered.
"We are pleased with the jury's verdict of guilty on all counts," said Assistant Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney Kyle Rohr. "We also hope that the victim feels some solace from the outcome."
Fox is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 29.
He faces a maximum of 46 years in prison.
When the elder Fox was sentenced in 2012 Delaware County Common Pleas Judge W. Duncan Whitney, who will also handle the sentencing of the younger Fox, called the crimes "perhaps the worst sequence of events this court has ever seen since 1968."

Gabriela is of Peruvian and Japanese descent and lives in a charmingly unique-looking two-story home of humble means. Among other things, she earns money by hosting tourists such as myself.I was warmly greeted with a cup of Mate de Coca – herbal tea made using raw leaves of the Coca plant.

Elkin, the preseason pick to take home the league championship this year, came away with a 7-2 victory against the Huskies on Tuesday.
"Elkin proved why they are the conference leader by playing very good tennis," said Ashe County Head Coach Larry Dix. "This was great experience for our young, inexperienced team."
The Elks swept Ashe in all six singles matches. Top seeded Ryan Schell beat Alex Church, second seeded David Bullin defeated Jacob O'Neal and Chad Vestal beat Andrew Shepherd in the third seeded match.
Fourth seeded Jacob Lyon beat Caleb Adcock, fifth seeded Matthew Schumak outpointed Dakin Christoferson and Reed Turner took down Frank Ledezma in the battle of sixth seeded players.
All was not lost however as Ashe came away winning two of the three doubles matches. Shepherd and Adcock scored an 8-5 win over Daniel Soos and Ricky Rendon while the duo of Christoferson and Ledezma earned an 8-4 win over Turner and Asheer McRitchie.
"Our boys did a good job of getting the balls back and winning some points," Dix said. "I saw much improvement in their net play and approach shots."
Coach Dix said he was also pleased to see his players going to the net more and playing smarter on the court.
This was the third match of the young season and all three have come against very strong competition, including the top two teams in the Mountain Valley Conference last season (East Wilkes and Elkin) as well as 4A tennis power Watauga.
"I am proud of the positive attitude and sportsmanship that our team is portraying against these stronger teams" Dix said. "It is exciting to see these young men develop their skills."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfect for our wedding
Magnetstreet had exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable cost. I am having a small cruise wedding and ever place I checked they had minimum orders of 45 which was too much for our budget. Because of magnetstreet I was able to get my invitations, save-the-dates, thank you cards, and favors for less than budgeted! Everything was beautiful, excellent quality and came in a timely fashion! I would recommend magnetstreet to any bride.
Perfect for beach wedding
These are a perfect beach wedding RSVP card. We got the regular card stock because we didn't care for the linen. We chose bright colors of purple, blue, and green and they came out awesome. Nice rich color saturation. Only downside is the edges of the white card stock barely show because we used dark colors on the entire card. It's not a deal breaker though. Just would be nice if it could be printed on paper that is the main background color.
Came out GREAT!
I ordered these RSVP cards to match my invitations and they came out great. I'm very happy with my purchase and also with the coupon I had the price was great!
I received again more then I ordered which is a nice surprise!!
Extra envelopes were sent with these. Very happy!!
