Mariela Sancari
In this work, Mariela Sancari presents portraits of 70–year–old men, the age her father would be if he were still alive.The Argentine photographer is convinced that seeing the inert body of a dead person helps one to overcome one of the most complex stages of grief, denial. She was unable to see her father's body and has therefore doubted his death in countless ways. In this volume, Sancari proposes and undertakes a fictional game in an attempt to help show the infinite storeroom of the unconscious, a mise en scène that allows us to represent our real desires and fantasies.

Gerry Badger
This book I hold near and clear. I moved to Berlin in 1981, to the western part of the city, the wall was still there. In respect of urban planning West Berlin was decades behind the already rehabilitated Western German cities. Wastelands, windowless firewalls, crumbling plaster and sooty facades characterized the atmosphere. In East-Berlin even more than in the West. But Berlin was a magnet for artists, do-gooders and utopians who came from everywhere. Together with the many uncultivated spaces they made Berlin one of the most unusual places in the world.
Since the fall of the Wall in 1989 much has changed. It took time, but now redevelopement, new constructions, closure of gaps between buildings and new utilization concepts for the border strip give the capital a new face.
And then Gerry Badger appears and photographs in ›one of his favorite cities‹ - and is baffled by the images that he has made, as they look so downbeat compared to his conscious idea of the city with all the depressing-looking grey in grey, the disorder, the rank growth.
But he provides the answer himself, when he says:
›I am fascinated by the terrain vague of the urban scene – wastelands, the funny little spaces that become impromptu gardens or parks, or are acted upon in some other way. Most people find them scruffy. I find them magical. I have an unerring instinct for finding the scruffier areas of cities – I know I'll find my pictures there. But my intention is to depict them as anything but scruffy. I see them as beautiful.‹
How beautiful, that will be remembered only when they are gone forever. Along with Gerry Badger I hope it does not come so far.

Ivars Gravlejs
Publisher's Description
An eccentric scrapbook documenting Ivars Gravlejs schooldays in Latvia during the 1990s. Aged 11, Gravlejs acquired a camera, soon deployed in unrestrained rebellion against authority – the small state of the school. Gravlejs writes, "I often felt nauseous before going to school because of the humiliation that I faced from my teachers. The only way to survive school was to do something creative - to take pictures and make movies."
Early Works satirises of the rules and aesthetic principles of the adult world. Eight sections trace the various phases of Gravlejs's encyclopaedic curiosity, including 'Conceptual', 'Pop art' and 'Actions', parroting the tropes of contemporary art, in emanations of the readymade (a pop art stockpile of soda cans), fake historical reconstructions (toy soldiers in battle) and surreal compositions (the erotic union of eggs and a sausage). In all the images, Gravlejs uses the gesture of art as an instrument of anarchy, lampooning his classmates and teachers in fiendish montages, winning small victories in the domain of the image. Pandemonium reins, as the young Gravlejs shapeshifts across the pages, here pretending to be 'dead drunk', sprawled out like an inebriated adult, and there caught in a mock act of terrorism, shifting railroad tracks in theatrical dark glasses.
Authoring captions that offer unsparingly honest vignettes to account for each image, Gravlejs's tone is one of utter self-mockery; and yet we are never quite sure of Gravlejs own proximity to the prodigy of Early Works – as a younger self he teases, spoofs, and employs to bite back at society, but also a protagonist assembled from a world of appropriation, manipulation and intervention.
Ivars Gravlejs (b. 1979) is a Latvian photographer who lives and works in Prague. He studied photography at the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague (2000–07). He currently teaches photography in Latvia and the Czech Republic.

Publisher's Desription
In 1980, the American photographer Larry Fink received a grant from the Seattle Museum of Art, or as he tells the story, 'My star was starting to rise. I was called' and so, already a logger of sorts himself, Fink made a natural transition into photographing the rugged breed of men who selectively pillaged the deep, virgin forest of the Olympic Peninsula, in western Washington.
Fink was assigned to 'a gypo logger' Davey McCardle, who would prove a significant character in the story of making 'Opening the Sky'. Fink recalls,' Back up the mountain with a flash in hand and a bag of forty pounds, a Mamiya C330 and a Leica M2 as my cameras, I was living a tentative life, jumping over logs rolling at me and sidestepping crevices and snakes, at the same time photographing the logging.'
'Think of the sound from the back of a long tunnel. A whooooosh and slow silent rumble, then the gnawing ra-ta- tat-ta of the saw. Its whine, searing as is lacerates three hundred and fifty years of slow time growth with quick time destruction or production. Finally a great aching arch, a crack, a whir, and a long dark roar. Gravity takes its toll, hallow of time, silence then. A silence without time. The massive tree settled in a bed of mosses, ripped and startled into submission. Looking through a camera is not looking at danger in the same way as straight on.'
The resulting images, published in a beautiful limited edition hard back cloth covered book, are majestic, poetic and fearless — Fink at his finest.

Publisher's Description
Lost Rivers is an exploration of Taipei, Taichung and Tainan's forgotten rivers, streams and waterways. Once dominant forces in carving out their surroundings, these rivers have now become neglected backwaters in the race to urbanise. Neglected, decrepit, the city is built over them and around them. Through them we see how the race to urbanise can affect our world.

Eamonn Doyle
Publisher's Description
Eamonn Doyle's second photo-book, 'ON, follows last year's 'i', a collection of street portraits from Dublin city centre. In 'ON', black and white figures stalk across Dublin streetscapes, by turns lost, menacing, wary, browbeaten or entranced – but always at odds in some way with their environment.
As in 'i', the photographs were mostly taken on Dublin's Parnell Street and O'Connell Street. But here the historic role of those two streets as zones of resistance, protest and insurrection is far more present. The very title of the book itself evokes a resistance – that doggedly existential kind identified by Samuel Beckett's narrator in 'The Unnameable': 'You must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.'
The figures are dynamic – muscles taut, heads in mid-turn, bodies in motion. Some flee the photographic gaze itself. Others stare challengingly down the barrel of the lens. Most appear caught up in projects so intensely private that they have an air of total inaccessibility. Rarely does the photographic act intrude so little on the lives of its subjects. Paradoxically, the energy is sought at precisely those moments when the unruly subjects look most likely to tear the images asunder.
The central drama of the book could thus be said to be its subjects' struggle with representation – not necessarily against it, but writhing, wriggling, jockeying with it. The resulting images invariably draw attention to the photographic act. One never forgets that these images have been selected, framed, constructed. One is never tempted to identify the image with the subject of the image or to respond 'I know exactly how that person feels.' The interiority of the subjects is preserved; their dignity remains intact.
'ON' opens out to history more directly than its predecessor. Whereas 'I' was preoccupied with figures consumed by introspection, the dramas in 'ON' are far more environmental. Dublin's hermetic seal has cracked open and the rest of the world has somehow spilled in. These subjects are photographed mostly from the front and from a lower angle. It's a presentation that opens out their world, contextualising them by placing them against an architectural backdrop. Where the mysterious, often faceless figures of 'i' were often flattened against their worlds, the subjects of 'ON' stand out and strike out against their environments, often looming against skies in a way that speaks of possibility, even as they nurse wounds or eye each other suspiciously.

Publisher's Description
IMAGE SHOP CAMP, an independent gallery,was opened in 1976,at multi-tenant building located at 2 chome street in Tokyo's Shinjuku district. 6 graduates of "WORK SHOP Daido Moriyama class" includes me were participated. This is where, I showed my photos of Tokyo from January to December 1979,in a radically new way. The series, PHOTO EXPRESS: TOKYO(Shashin Tokkyubin: Tokyo),was accompanied by a monthly,16-page booklet,with issues numbered 1 to12.The shooting location was the center of 2 chome street in Shinjuku around CAMP. I presented grids of images or enlarged prints,impromptu,immediately after the photo session,almost in real time.Occasionally I transform the gallery into a darkroom,projecting the images directly onto bromide paper attached to the wall,then applying developer and fixer with a sponge. The interval between the various phases of shooting,developing,exhibition,publication,and dis-semination was thus reduced to a minimum.far from wishing to embody an intension that would be prior to the act of taking the photograph,I sought to produce images in a mechanical way,beyond my control: The accidental became a means of experiencing the world.

Publisher's Description
Special edition of 100 copies, each with a signed and numbered original archival pigment print, presented with a signed copy of the book in a custom clamshell box.
California made history with the creation of the nation's first statewide system of ocean parks − a network of 124 Marine Protected Areas stretching from Oregon to the Mexico border. Like national parks on land, MPAs are magnificent in beauty and wildness while providing protection for wildlife, solutions to climate change, and recreational resources for all. Soon after the system was established, photographer Jasmine Swope set out to capture the essence of the marine parks. Her quest took her up and down California's 1,100-mile long coastline. The result is "Our Ocean's Edge," a photographic documentary project coupled with original narratives written by author Dwight Holing that celebrates these fragile seascapes while increasing awareness about their natural benefits and inspiring conservation action. This beautiful clothbound monograph comprises 55 plates beautifully printed in duotone, and opens with a foreword by Wallace J Nichols.

A special edition, featuring a signed original photograph presented with a copy of the book in a custom clamshell box, is also available.
Swope's photographs have the soft look of richly worked, large-scale graphite drawings. In addition to her chosen printing technique, it is achieved through lengthy exposures that blur contours, enhance atmospherics and blend the motions of waves and birds into gentle near-abstractions. One result is to recast familiar sights, recorded in millions of snapshots of tourist scenery, into something alien and almost extraterrestrial. Rocky outcroppings rising above foggy gray swirls of luminosity might be on some far-off mountaintop or even on a Hollywood backlot. They're like mysterious landscapes glimpsed on another planet. That they're actually close to home makes the visual estrangement salutary. Swope's camera can only show the world's surface; however lovely the outward appearance might be, the complex but largely hidden dynamic of a habitat is what matters. Her photographs deftly evoke the presence of more than the eye can see.

Gregori Maiofis
Publisher's Description
Gregori Maiofis's work has been influenced by multinational and multicultural concerns as well as his own genetic history. He comes from a family of artists and architects, and he grew up in St. Petersburg, a sophisticated city that is considered the capital of classical museum style. After a brief stint in Los Angeles, during which time he learned new art forms and honed his English language skills, Maiofis returned to his native St. Petersburg, because, as he states, "I can do things here artistically that I couldn't do anywhere else."
Proverbs is an ongoing series of photographs in which the artist focuses on universal truths. Using trained circus animals in many of his images – from a gargantuan brown bear to monkeys, dogs, lions and most recently, elephants – in settings absent of artifacts or other cultural information, Maiofis offers visually poignant, strike to the heart-of-the-matter images. (His latest work, Closed Mouth Catches No Flies, was an image that Maiofis had visualized very early on, but it wasn't until years later that he finally met a lion tamer who, as part of his performance, actually puts his head in the mouth of a lion.)
Maiofis' work has has been the subject of solo exhibitions across Russia, Europe, and the United States. His work is included in the permanent collections in many museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Novy Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California.

Publisher's Description
The documentary nature of Latin American photography has brought clarity and artistic appreciation to the countries of the region since the camera arrived in the 19th century. The photographers of Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, and other nations have captured the traditions, societal changes, urban and natural landscapes, and varied architecture of their countries. Selected from Santa Barbara Museum of Art's permanent collection, "Looking In, Looking Out: Latin American Photography" investigates the cultures and histories of various Latin American countries through the lens of nostalgia, propaganda, a populist aesthetic, and evolving perspectives. Published in cooperation with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in conjunction with their exhibition of the same name opening in October 2015, this book will be an important addition to the literature available on Latin American photography. "Looking In, Looking Out: Latin American Photography" presents work by twenty photographers that spans some 80 years. It opens with an insightful introduction by Delphine Sims, putting the photographers and their work into an historical, asethetic and sociological perspective.

Sebastião Salgado
Publisher's Description
Other Americas, originally published in France in 1986 and designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado, is Sebastião Salgado's first book. Upon publication it became an award winning photobook classic, establishing Salgado's reputation as the visionary reportage photographer of his generation. With forty-nine black-and-white photographs taken between 1977 and 1984, Salgado's distilled survey of a continent includes images from Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. The images range in subject, capturing spiritual and religious practices, changing rural landscapes, and intimate domestic life. Each photograph shares a sense of sincere connection-connection between the subject and the photographer, between a population and their homeland, and between Salgado and the audience he seeks to engage. In his text, Alan Riding writes, "Salgado has sought out a lost corner of the Americas and he has made it a prism through which the entire continent can be viewed. A philosophy of life is caught in a look; an entire way of life is frozen in a moment . . ."

Overseas deliveries Please note that, as this is a heavy item, overseas postage will be charged at twice our standard rates.
Publisher's Description
Following the publication of Chromes in 2011 and Los Alamos Revisited in 2012, the reassessment of Eggleston's career continues with the publication of The Democratic Forest, his most ambitious project. This ten-volume set containing more than a thousand photographs is drawn from a body of twelve thousand pictures made by Eggleston in the 1980s. Following an opening volume of work in Louisiana, which serves as a visual preface, the remaining books cover Eggleston's travels from his familiar ground in Memphis and Tennessee to Dallas, Pittsburgh, Miami, Boston, the pastures of Kentucky, and as far as the Berlin Wall. The final volume leads the viewer back to the South of small towns, cotton fields, the Civil War battlefield of Shiloh and the home of Andrew Jackson, the President from Tennessee.
The democracy of Eggleston's title refers to his democracy of vision, through which he represents the most mundane subjects with the same complexity and significance as the most elevated. The exhaustive editing process of The Democratic Forest—a rarely shown body of work of which only a fraction has been published to date—has taken over three years, and was guided by the belief that only on this large scale can the magnitude of Eggleston's achievement be represented. With no precedent in American art, Eggleston's photography seen as a whole has all the grandeur of an epic piece of fiction. The Democratic Forest includes a new introduction by Mark Holborn and the re-publication of Eudora Welty's original essay on the work.

Publisher's description
Primordial Landscapes: Iceland Revealed elegantly explores the diverse and raw beauty of Iceland's extraordinary landscapes through striking images by photographer and naturalist Feodor Pitcairn and the inspired words of geophysicist, author, and poet Ari Trausti Guðmundsson. This collection illuminates topographical phenomenon shaped and crafted by the most powerful natural forces on earth: rain and glacier melt form thunderous waterfalls and rivers that carve at the earth's surface; arctic snow and ice peppering the land and sea with striking shapes and patterns, feeding the climate and water cycles; lava flows from active volcanoes that build vast, textured landforms where life can begin and take hold. These are the beautiful and extraordinary results of our planet's most fundamental geological processes.
Pitcairn's passion for photography lies in his desire to convey the truest account possible of the natural environments he explores and strives to protect. Each Primordial Landscapes image was made with a digital Hasselblad camera, delivering superior color, detail, and clarity. A map and index provide intriguing geological and cultural information about the content of the photographs.

Not since Edwin Land invented the Polaroid camera has image making become so revolutionized. Instagram has taken today's phenomenon of instant photography and social media to a new zenith, enabling amateurs and auteurs alike to share their images with a global audience. From the ubiquitous selfie to urban life and the beauty of nature, Instagram has provided a forum for posting and viewing a seemingly endless archive of images from our time. From tweens to retirees, would-be and actual photographers are creating their own images and following countless others, creating an online community that is visually inspired.
Since the origin of modern photography, artists of all kinds have sought to share their images within their personal networks of friends and family. Today, with the advent of the Internet and subsequent explosion of online photo sharing, photographers have an audience which is exponentially larger than that of just a few years ago. Photography as a medium has been revolutionized, with high-quality cameras built into smartphones, advanced editing software readily accessible, and online social media sites providing a platform for sharing and delivery.
THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores this rapidly expanding movement of social media photography in a stunning collection of images from photographers around the world who post their pictures on the popular app, Instagram. Curated from the software's millions of users, THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores a small spectrum of photographers—both professional and amateur alike—who contribute to this groundbreaking online community.

Alec Soth
Signed copies, 2nd printing
Publisher's Description
Known for his haunting portraits of solitary Americans in Sleeping by the Mississippi and Broken Manual, Alec Soth has recently turned his lens toward community life in the country. To aid in his search, Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of community newspaper reporter. From 2012-2014, Soth traveled state by state while working on his self-published newspaper, The LBM Dispatch, as well as on assignment for the New York Times and others. From upstate New York to Silicon Valley, Soth attended hundreds of meetings, dances, festivals and communal gatherings in search of human interaction in an era of virtual social networks.
With Songbook, Soth has stripped these pictures of their news context in order to highlight the longing for connection at their root. Fragmentary, funny and sad, Songbook is a lyrical depiction of the tension between American individualism and the desire to be united.

Jem Southam
Publisher's Description
"Winters, like ice ages, are Janus faced, for after the freeze comes thaw and flood, as water is returned to life and movement. Freeze, thaw, flood: the great climatic cycles that created the topography of the northern hemisphere, and which continue to shape the idea of winter that lies deep in our cultural imagination."
Richard Hamblyn
In November 2010, after a photographic lull of half a year, Jem Southam took a photograph which became the first in this series, The River Winter and which spurred him to make one of the most concentrated bodies of work in his career. From late autumn through to the earliest signs of spring, along the banks of the river Exe in Devon, Southam chose locations and took photographs, returning at regular intervals. This pattern continued for the next five months with Southam documenting the subtle agencies of change transforming the landscape. By the end of January 2011 he realized this had become a new work, one that caught the effects of the Earth's turn on film, one which followed the passage of a single winter.
The shift in seasons is presented through a sequence of ten by eight colour contact prints, with which an essay by Richard Hamblyn explores how, since the last ice-age, winter has embedded itself into our cultural psyche.
Jem Southam (b. 1950) is a key figure in British landscape photography, working across twenty-five years. His work is included in many important collections including Rijksmuseum, Museum Folkwang, and the Yale Centre for British Art. He has been the subject of numerous solo shows including Tate St. Ives in 2004 and The Victoria & Albert Museum in 2006.

Jan Tove's first published work for several years, Silent Landscape represents a significant maturation in his vision. If, in Riverside, the relatively traditional nature photography of Beyond Order coexisted with work influenced by contemporary American landscape photographers, here they are successfully integrated. Photographs mostly from Sweden but also from Norway, Denmark and Scotland. See here for all the spreads from the book.

Shinan, an archipelago of 1,004 exquisite and unspoiled islands situated in the South West of Korea, is also known as "The Island of Angels". Michael Kenna photographed there over a period of two years. The resulting monograph, "Shinan", is comprised of sixty-two black and white images in which the artist emphasizes suggestion rather than description; sparce and graphic elements evoke a whole world. Elegantly printed with our special Daido black ink and tinted spot varnish on Japanese matte art paper, this first printing of Shinan is limited to 3,000 slipcased copies. A special edition of 250 signed and numbered copies, presented in a custom clamshell box, is also available. "Breathtakingly beautiful" – it sounds like a cliché, but the phrase encapsulates the feeling that echoed in my mind the moment I saw Michael Kenna's work... It is as if Mother Nature is trying to show off her creation through the medium of these images. – Lee Chuyoung, Curator of National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea.

Publisher's Description
But I needed to find out for myself. Two weeks later I was gone, witnessing my new world wizz by, especially at dusk, then darkness as I watched the sum of all the city lights cast my silhouette across the pine trees of the Florida panhandle. This was it, I was riding my very first freight train. And soon, what would begin as mere natural curiosity and self-discovery would evolve into a casting call of sorts, taking photographs of my newfound friends.

Corporate Partnerships
Green Economy
Societies in the Danube-Carpathian region are living far beyond their means, using resources at a rate roughly twice the Earth's ability to renew them. Businesses are a big part of the problem - and the solution.
The business of business in the Danube-Carpathian region as elsewhere must be in creating value from products and services that are good for people and the planet, in providing solutions to our needs and problems.
This is really the only sustainable option for our planet – and thus the only viable business plan beyond the very short term. You can't do business on a dead planet. That is of course a significant challenge, but with every challenge there is an opportunity. There is real money to be made in offering solutions to problems.
Fortunately, a growing number of companies working in the region are realizing that the future of their business depends on the future of their environment.
Business leaders
IKEA has invested millions of Euro to date in promoting sustainable forestry in the region in order to secure long-term wood supplies for its products.
The Coca-Cola Company has committed to neutralizing its water footprint worldwide and in the Danube basin and we have launched a partnership to restore wetlands in Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Serbia by 2020.
Ogilvy offices throughout the region are contributing their expertise for awareness raising and education.
A full list of WWF partners in the Danube-Carpathian region may be found in our annual report.
How WWF is working with the business
Partnering with progressive companies to find solutions for sustainable business in the region.
Working with industry leaders in key sectors such as forestry, tourism and agriculture and food to identify and promote approaches that achieve "more business, more jobs, more nature".
Establishing Corporate Clubs - now in Romania and in future in other countries -- as platforms for bringing together progressive companies in support of environmental action.
Providing know-how and training for businesses, e.g. through One Planet Leaders.
Working with business associations and other partners in the region to promote the business case for environment.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, photographer, author, and teacher Chris Orwig details the tools every photographer needs to retouch portraits to make them look their best while remaining authentic. The course includes an overview of the retouching process and how to develop a plan for a retouching project.
After exploring techniques to improve the overall photo, Chris shares his techniques for reducing wrinkles, enhancing eyes and other facial features, improving hair, and retouching makeup. The course concludes with a look at retouching skin and reshaping portions of a portrait using transformations, the Warp tool, and the Liquify filter.
Portrait retouching really is an art and a craft, and because of that you want to be able to make really precise adjustments on your photographs. And many times we start off using a mouse. And a mouse can work really well, yet what I found in my own workflow is that at a certain point it's just limiting. If you want to get really good at portrait retouching, you may want to consider picking up a pressure- sensitive tablet like this. Because what it allows you to do, is to subtly and progressively paint in adjustments on your photographs.
And being able to have this precise control, sometimes it makes all the difference in the world. Because you know, good portrait retouching, it's about hiding your tracks, and what I mean by that is you don't want someone to look at one of your portraits and say, wow, that's been retouched really well. Rather, you want them to be focused in on the person, on the subject. And what I found in my own workflow is that by using a pressure-sensitive tablet, it helps me to create adjustments, which are more subtle, yet ultimately which improve the overall portrait in some pretty profound ways.

New Tax Break in Life Insurance for Climbersadded Feb/2012, see all Summit Financial Services news & reviews
Product news by Simon Reed
There is a new policy called The Relevant Life Policy which takes into account your sport.
A small number of progressive insurance companies have developed this new contract in line with their forward thinking and "can do" philosophy.
The relevant life policy is available to directors of limited companies and employees. The premiums are paid by the company which can result in up to 60% tax savings on a gross premium when compared to a traditional life policy � an excellent tax efficient way of arranging cover.
Summit Financial Services have negotiated favourable terms for BMC/MCofS members.
Insurance can usually be arranged for members who climb up to 4,000 metres altitude at normal premiums. These can be substantially cheaper than those offered to a non-climber with a traditional life policy. Even mountaineers who exceed this limit of altitude can take advantage of this tax break at specially negotiated rates.
Don't go solo - partner up with Summit Financial Services - this is a wonderful opportunity if you are considering taking out a life insurance policy to provide funds for your family should the worst happen.
Gear News and Outdoor Industry News at UKC and UKH presents climbing, walking and mountaineering equipment and stories that will be of interest to UKClimbing.com's readers. They are not gear reviews and are provided by companies that advertise with UKClimbing Limited. Please feel free to comment about the stories and products on the associated thread.

"Studio Indies" in October?
Looking at indieWIRE's (quickly becoming indespensable) release calendar I found something very interesting going on in October.
Warner Brothers is letting out three very indie-flavored films by daring filmmakers that got their feature film starts at Sundance and Toronto:
Stephen Soderbergh's "The Informant"
Spike Jonze's "Where The Wild Things Are"
Richard Kelly's "The Box"
October also see the release of new films by:
The Coen Brothers
Martin Scorcese
Michael Moore
Mira Nair
Muguel Arteta
Is this typical for that month?
Start saving for movie tickets now.

Local farmer Scotty Scott has directed a $2,500 donation to the Sandy Bay Penticostal Holiness Church Youth Ministry. Funded by America's Farmers Grow Communities, the donation will help the church support their three youth programs.
Pastor Mike McKenzie was thankful for Scott's genriosity. "We're very excited about it," said McKenzie was a member of the church for 19 years and served as Deacon before becoming pastor in 2010. "We were so surprized when Scotty Scott won it. " McKenzie said the funds will be split between the youth minitries which include the Girls Ministry, Royal Rangers for Boys, and Teens youth group RAGE (Reaching a Generation for Eternity) who are planning a mission trip to Belize, Central America.
Thanks to the support of farmers like Scott, more than $3.2 million is being directed to nonprofits in 1,289 counties in 39 states. According to Scott, Sandy Bay has a positive impact on the youth in Williamsburg County. "This church does many great things with the youth in our county," said Scott in a press release. Scott has been a member of the church for several years and has two children who participate in the youth ministries. "They could put this money to good use for programs within the ministries."
America's Farmers Grow Communities works directly with farmers to support nonprofit organizations like the Sandy Bay PH Church Youth Ministry, who are doing important work in their communities. The program offers farmers the chance to win $2,500, which is then donated to the farmer's nonprofit of choice. The search for funding to sustain and enhance programs is a year-round job for nonprofit organizations across the country. Through America's Farmers Grow Communities, farmers have been able to support a variety of groups, such as schools, fire departments, community centers and youth organizations like 4-H and FFA.
America's Farmers Grow Communities launched in 2010, and has since donated over $13 million to more than 5,200 nonprofit organizations across the country. America's Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, is part of the America's Farmers initiative, which highlights and celebrates the important contributions of farmers like Scott. The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the farm communities where farmers and Monsanto Company employees live and work. Visit the Monsanto Fund at www.monsantofund.org. For a complete list of Grow Communities winners and more program information, visit growcommunities.com.

Hey everyone!
Every year I spend a week at the beach with my family. Usually, I read about 3 books during the week (which is a high number for me). Usually they're quick reads (like the TrueBlood novels).
This summer I started getting into Stephen King novels and was wondering if he has any "quick reads" that I can get through in a day or two. For the most part, I'm an average reader, but for that week I spend most of my day reading so I read a bit faster.
So, any recommendations on good novels to read next week?

Hat-trick Hero Walker
20th November 2011
Sam Walker was king in Hatfield at the Junior and Cadet National Championships sponsored by Tees Sport. His 3 titles from 3 events was the best he could have hoped for from his 3 top seed positions. With the big entry this weekend Sam remained undefeated in an impressive 17 matches over the course of the day.
Sam's first title came in the Junior Boys' Singles event, and he didn't have it all his own way. His quarter final match with Jared Patel was a big test, as he came back from 2-1 down to take it in the fifth set. Joining Sam in the semi-final was Igor Morais. He got there by virtue of a 3-0 win over Adam Harrison (who had earlier dispatched seventh seed Liam McTiernan). After his long quarter-final Sam wasn't going to make the same mistake again this time powering through Igor over a rapid-fire 3 games to reach his first final of the day.
In the other half of the draw Lewis Gray made his way into the semi-final with a 3-1 over Grantham College training partner Lawrence Sweeney. Also taking a 3-1 win in the quarter-finals was Helshan Weerasinghe as he beat Dom Sussex. In the semi-final Lewis set off by far the better and established a comfortable looking 2-0 lead. However, Helshan had other ideas, he took the third set, and followed that by taking the fourth. With the momentum going his way Helshan pushed on through the fifth set to secure himself a 3-2 win and his position in the final. In the final Sam carried through the impressive form he had shown earlier against Igor. He raced through the final in 3 straight sets to take the National Junior Singles title home.
The Junior Girls' had to do something special compete with the boys' event, but they managed that, with the help of plenty of surprise results. First of the girls' quarter-finals put Naomi Jackson and Jessica Dawson together. Naomi had advanced through the last 16 with a walkover as Emily Bates pulled out after being injured by her mixed doubles partner Jared Patel. Jessica had much more of a struggle to secure her quarter-final place, she had survived going the full five sets with Janay Gibson to advance. In their quarter-final Jessica secured a 3-1 win and the chance to take on Tin-Tin Ho in the semi-final. Tin-Tin made the semi-final after a 3-0 win over Megan Knowles. But it was Jessica who would make the final as she recorded an excellent 3-2 win over the number 3 seed. The bottom half of the draw was also full of surprises. Vicky Smith surprised Tressa Armitage to advance 3-1, and Abbie Milwain dispatched number 2 seeded Yolanda King 3-0. Abbie continued her march with another 3-0 victory, this time over semi-final opponent Vicky. Jessica and Abbie put on a great free flowing final with lots of open topspin rallies. With the early games tight and the scores level at 1-1 Jessica managed to break Abbie's run and take the Junior Girls' Singles title 3-1.
Emma Tovey and Jas Ould were first of the Girls' Doubles quarter-finalists where they took on Abbie Milwain and Isobel Ashley. The Derbyshire pair of Isobel and Abbie came through to reach the final with a 3-1 win over the Kent pairing. Also finding their way to the final was Yolanda King and Tin-Tin Ho who got there at the expense of Megan Knowles and Emma Torkington. In the final Tin-Tin and Yolanda seemed keen to make up for their earlier exit from the singles as they took a 3-1 win despite Abbie and Isobel's best efforts.
Sam Walker and Tressa Armitage were top seeds in the Mixed Doubles and made the final courtesy of a walkover due to the withdrawal of Emily Bates and Jared Patel. They withdrew after Jared hit Emily's hand mid-rally towards the end of their quarter-final game. Despite holding on to see out the quarter-final match Emily was unable to continue leaving Sam and Tressa free to advance. The other semi-final saw Igor Morais and Girls' singles champion, Jessica Dawson face Helshan Weerasinghe and Tin-Tin Ho. After Morais and Dawson took the first set it was Weerasinghe and Ho that took the rest, but it was still close with two games finishing in deuce. So it was a second final for both Sam Walker and Helshan Weerasinghe. This time Helshan seemed seemed set on revenge as he and Tin-Tin established a 2-0 lead. But for the second time today, Sam wasn't beaten when he was down. He and Tressa fought hard to get back to 2-2, and from there never looked like losing in the final set, sealing it 3-2 and adding to Sam's title in the Boys' Singles.
Last of the day's events was the Junior Boys' Doubles. Once again Sam Walker was top seed, this time partnered by Lewis Gray. Also once again Sam had to come from behind in a match. Sam and Lewis found themselves 2-1 and 9-6 down against Dom Sussex and Mike Fraser. But in Sam's now familiar style, he and Lewis came back to take the win in the fifth and final set to book their semi-final place. Joining them in the semi-final was Jared Patel and Liam McTiernan. After their earlier scare Sam and Lewis took no risks as they came through their match 3-0 to set up Sam's attempt for the hat-trick. Trying to stop Sam from sweeping the titles was his rival for all his finals over the day Helshan Weerasinghe, who was this time partnered by Sam Mabey. But once more it was Sam who came out on top and Helshan who had to settle for second. Lewis and Sam took the win 3-0 against Helshan and Sam and so sealed a memorable set of titles for Sam Walker to take on his trip home.
With the junior titles being taken home on last night attention turns to the cadet event on today. If you can't be with us in Hatfield why not follow all the action live on twitter @ETTATableTennis.

Trip to Houston Zoo
Took a Trip to Houston Zoo to see the Lions bears and Tigers and Kangaroos.
Though the time out with the people I was with was great. Actually wonderful.Was not happy with what I saw.
I saw a lot of sad animals living in small spaces, not looking healthy at all.
Except for the bald eagle named "Liberty" She lost a wing because someone shot her. The Houston Zoo is probably a better option than dying in the wild
I didn't see any bears. Maybe I was too late.
I didn't see a single kangaroo, and saw no monkeys except a few Chimps.
I tried to take the best pictures I could, and make things look as happy as possible. But really. all of the animals kept turning their backs to us as if they wanted to not even be there.
Except the elephants. The elephants seemed okay.
I guess it's the only thing available. but really the land the Houston Zoo is on, is just too small and the taxes are way too high.
From what I understand, as you move away from the main area of Houston, you get cheaper costing land with cheaper taxes.
You may even get to tap into more fresh Aquifers to reduce the cost of water. Just these animals did not seem to be living happy lives.
I know you can't expect much for captivity. Maybe it's been too long since the last time I was at the zoo, and now that I am older, I see things differently than if I had grown up always going to the zoo.

CIRCLEVILLE, TEXAS. Circleville is on State Highway 95 one mile south of the San Gabriel River and seventy miles south of Waco in Williamson County. The town was settled in 1853 by three brothers, skilled craftsmen, James, Joseph, and William Eubank, and named for its semicircle of homes. In its early days it had a general store, a gristmill, a gin, a molasses press, tin and pewter shops, a blacksmith shop, a carding factory, a school, a church, and, from 1857 to 1911, a post office. The Kansas, Texas and Missouri Railroad ran through town in the 1880s; several train wrecks occurred there because of an ill-designed curve near the San Gabriel River. The school was consolidated with the Jonah school in 1949. In 1980 Circleville had a cattle auction barn, two stores, a tavern, and a population of fifty. In 1990 and again in 2000 the population was forty-two.

worst cooks
I couldn't believe who won??? Jenny was clearly the most dedicated person to win. The food critics had more good things to say about her dessert and her fish dishes, even though some thought her main dish was sweet. Chef beau picked out these recipes for her! She made them from his recipes! So, when she didn't win I was shocked! Out of all the contestants she wants to be a chef instead of just a home cook. I think she had the most passion to learn. Like other contests I think there should be points for previous dishs made along with points from the judges. If you get some judges that perfer sweet over savory food you could lose bases on preference. I hope Chef Beau helps Jenny get into chef school.

An October Drive Through West Virginia
By Fred Moskey
29 Dec 2011
It was a bright October day in West Virginia as I left Huntington for a drive through the mountains.
The first stop was a view of Kanawha Falls at Glenn Ferris. A roadside park provides an excellent view of the falls and the old power station.
Leaving there and just up the road was Gauley Bridge where I found a nice waterfall to photograph. The falls are just east of town and are tucked back into the hills near the railroad crossing.
After that it was up Gauley Mountain to Hawks Nest State Park and a view of the New River. There are several spots to see the river, I chose the one behind the lodge. They also have a tram that can take you down to the river. Their restaurant is a nice place for lunch.
A few miles to the east is Babcock State Park, the home of the Glade Creek Grist Mill. The mill is probably the most photographed place in West Virginia. The colors were beautiful as I walked a little way down stream. The park office and gift store are located there also.
Driving down the mountains to the New River I found the Amtrak Station at Prince. The station was the pride of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad when it opened in the late 40's.
It was a pleasant drive and a lot of photos were taken. I can't wait for next fall to see what nature brings.

Things I liked:Scope is sharp looking with nice lines and shape.Objective is very smooth and precise on foucusing in game. Everything is very sharp and clear on all power settings. Green & Red lighted crosshairs is a nice touch for early morning at sunrise and late evening sunset shots. The lite crosshairs give you that extra few minutes right before dusk. Scope has very nice flip open lenes covers which work very well and are made perfectily for this scope they keep your lenes clean and protected on the walk in and out of the field.. I like the lock down turrets & yardage turret which is very nice,Mounting onto my custom single shot NEF 3006 rifle was simple.
Things I would have changed:A selection of two different type of weaver rings. Both solid and see through rings.
What others should know:Excellant made scope best optics I've seen on clairity and sharpness in all power settings. You'll enjoy using it very much on all big game or what every game you will hunt. Buy it.
Things I liked:Accurate , full of features, yet affordable!
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Buy it!
Things I liked:Design of the lock-down turrets. Parallax adjustment very clear.
Things I would have changed:Flip-open lids.....very loose design.
What others should know:I had a BSA scope on my B-28 and it went bad after 50-75 shots. I guess it couldn't hold up to the hard recoil. I put on my Leapers since I had ordered it for a new Marauder which has not come in yet and it has held up great. I was zeroed in at 5 shots and it has held it's zero for over 200 shots. Awesome quality scopes at a great price.
