I gain my inspiration from the natural world. I feel we are increasingly living in a time where it is prevalent for people to be disconnected from nature and thus have ceased to understand its importance in our daily lives. We must remind ourselves of the beauty and complexity in the simplicity of nature and how to measure our lives by its elements, its truth, its starkness, density, and in its elaborate design. We forget to be affected by its incredibility and to notice how magnificent and spectacular is the magnitude of the earth's daily metamorphosis. We are meant to live near to it, and work to its patterns, and by taking the time to reflect in it, we reflect on ourselves.
Through my work I aim to connect people to nature. My effort is in attempt to depict the detail, the intricacies, the elaborate compositions that are all around us, give a feast for the eyes, the soul, the mind, and point out what is so regularly taken for granted.
I never grow tired of landscape, and continue to explore and develop ways to demonstrate our surrounds in their most vibrant, rugged, and spectacular array.
My work is directly inspired by the places I have lived, breathed and loved throughout my life.Having always strived to immerse myself with completeness into my surrounds, I am able to draw upon a rich and varied scope of vibrant images that have become entrenched into my being. I use the energy extracted from my daily immersions into the local landscape to compose my canvas and illuminate it with native life. With a strong background in conservation and native forest restoration I also take great care to represent only the indigenous flora and fauna of an area depicted in my work.
My most recent body of work has been dedicated to the incredible landscapes of New Zealand and South Africa, but now I am turning my efforts for a time to a separate theme, and finally beginning a project that has long been composting in the creative tank, the release can be expected by July next year. So until that time my studio over flow and commission acceptance will be limited but, am feeling very positive and driven to commit whole heartedly to this project and hope that it will be well received in completion!

Glenn senior tailback Devon Spalding enjoyed a record-breaking night with a school-record 491 yards rushing and six TDs. / DOUGLAS BARGERSTOCK / Gannett Michigan
Devon Spalding didnt have a good vibe when Westland Glenn headed onto the field for its first offensive series against Livonia Churchill last Friday.
It was parents night at Glenn, so Spaldings entire pregame routine was disrupted. The senior tailback likes to go through warm-ups, work up a good sweat and then begin the game.
Everything was so slow, he said. Im used to getting in a fast-paced warm-up. But we stood around for 15 minutes, went in the locker room and then I tried to get it back.
After gaining six yards on his first carry, Spalding was relieved. After his second carry, Glenn quarterback Chris Scheffer asked: Are you ready to break a record tonight?
Scheffer didnt have to ask twice.
Lets do it! Spalding shouted.
The reason Scheffer and Spalding were talking records? On Spaldings second carry, he had sprinted 74 yards for a touchdown.
Under normal circumstances, Spalding would stop thinking about records when he put on his uniform, but early on there was something different about last weeks game.
When we lined up across from them and our line fired off that first (touchdown) play I knew we were going to have a special night, Spalding said. Our offensive line just bullied their front seven. It was insane.
Insane would also be a good description of Spadlings effort, because the next time he visited the end zone it was at the end of an 80-yard run. Later he added touchdown runs of 63, 65, 63 and 26 yards.
Spaldings six touchdowns tied the school record of Jeremy Langford, who now plays at Michigan State.
Spalding has a 3.6 grade point average, so he was smart enough to realize he was having a good game. But he was shocked when running backs coach Matt Howton hugged him and said: 491.
It took a few moments before Spalding realized Howton was trying to tell him he had gained 491 yards in Glenns 49-40 victory.
That left Spalding, who carried the ball 26 times, only 38 yards shy of the state-record 529 yards Dwain Koscielniak gained for Gaylord St. Mary in 1990.
It took until Saturday morning, when Spalding tried getting out of bed, before he realized what he had accomplished.
I could move, but I was pretty sore, he said. My face was about the only thing that didnt hurt. I earned every one of those yards.
He earned them when he began working out like a maniac last November and added 20 pounds of muscle, turning the former quarterback into a 5-foot-10, 194-pound running back who could handle punishing inside runs and still had enough speed to take it the distance.
After every time I worked out Id take a protein shake and eat like a madman, he said. I was probably intaking 3,500 calories a day. I was eating a lot.
More important, Spalding was smart enough to make running a key part of his workouts so he was able to maintain his speed.
The result was a 491-yard night, shattering Langfords school record by 121 yards.
Theres no way I thought this as possible, Spalding said. I mean, its always been a goal of mine to break Jeremys record, but I never thought it would happen like that.
Maybe Spaldings pregame routine should be disrupted more often.

Do you think it is hard to begin a conversation with a stranger?
You know,if there is a stranger who can speak the language you need to improve is a really good thing for you.but i think it is too hard for me take the first step and say hi to a stranger.
I have learn korean for few month.This afternoom ,i have a good chance to talk with some friendly korean,but i were fear to talk with them.What a shame.
Can you give me some advice?
hi! I have the same problem indeed.
I think you can prepare some questions in mind, eg.hi nice to meet you. I'm```May I talk with you? Are you student? Are you interested in sports? etc. Just simple questions to raise their attention and show your kindness.
Preparing questions is a good idea, the most important thing on a conversation is keeping your interest in the other person, so your curiosity is key.
I've recently talked with foreigner first time, It was on an exhibition and I was one of exhibitors))I was confused and forgot all rules and words, but we understood each other))
prepare some questions it is good idea .
We have language to communicate with people, if you're afraid to actually do the verbal communicating part, you'll be lacking a very much needed skill. I know it's hard to take the first step, and communicate with someone, especially if you think that your pronunciation amongst other things are lacking, but if you don't take the important step in talking in your target language, you'll never actually get over that shy stage.
Simply put;
The more you talk, the more confident you'll be.
For me, when I want to talk to someone in my target language, AFTER seeing if it's the right time to because: the person might be in a rush, the person looks like they do not want to talk, or some other reason. After gauging the situation, I then ask if it's ok that I might talk to him/her.
In your target language, say, "Hello, do you speak ___, I'm trying to learn ___ and would like to practice talking to you." Or some variant of that sentence.
If the person says yes, you're good! If no, then at least you tried, and you'll surely find someone else to try asking again.
But if the person said yes, THAT'S when it's time to start asking questions/beginning a conversation with them. I think it's seriously polite, and would save you a lot of time if you asked first.
I hope that helped you (and anyone reading this) out a bit.
Start the discussion by a general topic. People dont like to talk about their opinions to strangers.Talking about the weather is a good exemple. It's the most popular topic of conversation between strangers and its the favorite for taxi drivers to engage a discussion with their clients.
Alouisse: Thanks a lot~your advice is very helpful and detailed~I will take the first step in next time~thank you~
Thank you all guys .I may take the courage to begin my first step.

yeah man you'll find someone better for you someday. =\ i keep having to tell myself that after mine dumped me. hoping this deployment clears my mind from it as i focus on more important things and when i get back i can find someone better for me or maybe during it i'll find someone...just trying not to think so much about how much it really sucks being alone...even when being with someone that doesnt care much about me somehow seemed right cause i was with someone, maybe being with someone that really cares about me will make the wait worth it. just sucks.
got myself 6 month supply of contacts...so happy, i can see so much better now and interacting with people isn't as awkward now that i can see facial expressions from 200 meters away instead of having to be 2 feet from person. cause wearing glasses (bcgs or safety goggles with inserts) i get that feeling like i'm behind a retard mask and nobody wants to take me seriously.
Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion. In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions-- mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

Beaune is actually at the end of the wine trail in Burgundy (or the beginning if you are optimistic). From here you can take the small national roads stopping into wineries and sampling all of their delicious samples. Thanks to baby #2, this was not part of our day - but I still hold out hope for a trip in the future.
Beaune is also famous for their "hospice" an ancient hospital that has since been converted to a museum. The hospital was gifted land where they began growing grapes and making wine (what else) to help take care of the sick and poor people of the city. Eventually, the hospital became self sufficient and began growing gaining a great reputation in France.
The vineyards are still there and you can still buy some Hospice wine if you so choose. There is still a retirement (nursing) home that is operating and still runs on the profits from the wine.
While the history is fun, the most impressive thing about the hospice is the thatched roof in bright and colorful patterns. This was the first building in the region to have this kind of roof and then it became traditional of Burgundy. Isn't it pretty?
Other than the hospice and the wines there aren't too many other things to see in Beaune, so after our nice tour we ate lunch and ended our wonderful vacation.
After traveling for 2 straight weeks by car, I think we have had our fill of vacations until next year!
Would you love to do a car trip for 2 weeks?

would this be a car ride with kids or without kids? :)
because if kids are included in that 2 week car ride then I'd have to say no lol :)

Q Near the northeast corner of Bennett and Marquette streets in Appleton, there is a vertical standpipe in the terrace. Its a pale blue-green color, about 12 to 14 inches in diameter and about 10 to 12 feet tall. What is this thing? Why would someone have a rocket launcher in a residential neighborhood?
A The pipe is not a rocket launcher, nor anything else that would make a Hollywood movie.
Paula Vandehey, Appletons public works director, said the pipe is a temporary protection sleeve for some work We Energies is doing.
Q Does the Town of Neenah still get revenue from the Alliant Energy plant?
A Yes, the Town of Neenah will reap $238,931 in utility payments this year from the 300-megawatt power plant, which is on County CB. That represents 24 percent of the towns 2013 revenue.
Its huge, Town Clerk/Treasurer Robin Coburn said of the importance of the money.
The town has averaged $260,000 in annual revenue from the plant during the past five years, but the amounts are decreasing due to the depreciation of the facility.
2009: $279,264 (32 percent of the towns revenue)
2010: $269,088 (29 percent)
2011: $257,963 (27 percent)
2012: $248,239 (22 percent)
2013: $238,931 (24 percent)
In 1999, the town paid $775,000 to acquire 92 acres of the Judy Grimes property west of Oak Hill Cemetery to protect the plant from annexation by the city of Neenah.
The shrewd move caught city officials by surprise. The town and the city subsequently negotiated a boundary agreement.

Romney edges out Paul in Maine caucuses
At a gathering in Portland, state Republican Chairman Charlie Webster said Romney had won with 2,190 votes compared to 1,996 for Paul, the only other candidate to aggressively compete in the state. Rick Santorum received 989 votes and Newt Gingrich won 349, but neither actively campaigned there.
Webster said any caucus results that come in after today wouldnt be counted no matter how close the vote turned out to be.
Some caucuses decided not to participate in this poll and will caucus after this announcement, Webster said. Their results will not be factored in. The absent votes will not be factored into this announcement after the fact.
Maines caucuses began Feb. 4 and continued throughout the week. But the results announced today accounted for just 83% of the states precincts. Several places decided to hold their caucuses at a later date.
Caucuses in Washington County scheduled for today were postponed until Feb. 18 because of a major snowstorm that blanketed the region. Earlier, party Executive Director Michael Quatrano said county officials were told the results would not count toward the total.
In a televised interview, Webster said there were fewer than 200 votes in Washington County and he doubted that including them would have changed the outcome.
Speaking to supporters in Portland, Paul expressed disappointment that only a portion of the states caucuses had counted toward the total. I wish all the caucuses had met today, Paul said, adding, Its almost like we could call it a tie.
Romney was attending a fundraiser in California late today, after campaigning in Maine earlier in the day, visiting caucus sites where he pressed voters for their support.
I thank the voters of Maine for their support, Romney said in a statement late today. Im committed to turning around America. And Im heartened to have the support of so many good people in this great state.
Romneys victory in Maine, just hours after he won the presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Committee Conference, helped slow a skid that began earlier this week when he lost contests in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado.

Jake Koopee's extraordinary pottery has earned him some of the top awards in the Native American contemporary art world. Following in the footsteps of his aunt, Dextra Quotskuyva, Koopee takes inspiration from traditional Hopi culture as well as historic pottery, but moves well beyond the traditional. In this pot, a Hopi Katsina dancer shares space with abstract shapes and dynamically swirling graphics. Katsinam (plural) are spirits, around which Hopi religious life revolves. The name also refers to clouds which bring life-giving rain, as well as the masked dancers that embody Katsina spirits, and allow them to enter into the human realm during rituals and ceremonies.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — California civil rights organizations have filed a complaint with the Justice Department asking for a federal investigation into the use of pepper spray in San Diego County's juvenile detention facilities.
The complaint filed Monday alleges that pepper spray use is rampant against youth offenders, including those at risk of suicide or self-harm. It also says officials have used it against youth who failed to follow verbal instructions and on minors with sensitive medical conditions.
The San Francisco-based Youth Law Center, the California Rural Legal Assistance Inc. and a San Diego-area coalition of community organizations, including the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, jointly filed the complaint.
Justice Department and county officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

It starts with a lone astronaut narrating the apocalypse that turned Earth into a wasteland. "We won the war but lost the planet," explains Jack (Tom Cruise), as he patrols the cracked-rock surface. After a nuclear war with parasitical aliens, what was left of the human race was evacuated, but Jack and his partner, Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), remain as sentinels and supervisors of an extraction operation, working from a modular base that's leagues above the surface.
If Oblivion, a sci-fi actioner about the end of the world, sounds familiar, much of it is. But director Joseph Kosinski, the brilliant visual stylist responsible for the look of TRON: Legacy, works within the sci-fi genre much as if it were a western, though instead of a lone gunman drawing a six-shooter from his holster, Oblivion relies on a lone pilot marshalling a posse of drones over the forbidding terrain. As Jack tries to sift through his virtual information—such as a ballgame he never actually watched—from the remnants of his real life, the film reworks traditional tropes into a thoughtfully entertaining and artistically stunning meditation on identity.
For though Jack is completely comfortable in his regimented routine, he is bewildered by "memories" of a dark-haired girl (Olga Kurylenko) he knew in New York City before the war 60 years previous. Only Jack wasn't born then, and anyway, his memory was wiped to protect the extraction operation if he should fall into the wrong, nonhuman hands. While exploring an old ruin—the New York Public Library—Jack has a shoot-out with some marauding aliens. To his intense bewilderment, the "scavs," as they're called, seemed to be trying to capture him instead of kill him. This episode causes Jack to question his reality, especially the reality of who he might really be. Jack's faith in mission command is further shaken when he discovers a crashed module with humans in it.
Kosinski, who co-wrote the script, uses the terrain, including geology and, especially, topography, for narrative texture as well as for some soaring and exciting action sequences. Oblivion is not especially character-driven, but as the plot thickens, and it does after Jack discovers an enclave of survivors under the leadership of an elderly engineer (Morgan Freeman, whose steampunk goggles deliberately evoke the retro eyewear of Laurence Fishburne in The Matrix), depth of character becomes subservient to the story (even so, Cruise is a bit distant, especially compared to his previous mission to upstate New York in War of the Worlds).
But it's an intelligent, unpredictable story that rewards close attention, despite an overabundance of jaw-dropping aerial battles. It's especially successful at invoking the environmentally cautionary sci-fi films of the 1970s, and this emphasis on man's inhumanity to man's environment makes it a more substantive summer blockbuster than other recent otherworld adventures such as Avatar or Prometheus.

Acting General Services Administrator Dan Tangherlini's chief task is to make GSA respectable again.
That won't be easy.
The well-documented excesses of GSA's lavish 2010 Las Vegas conference, complete with mind reader, skits and more than $800,000 in expenses are the reason the White House grabbed Tangherlini from the Treasury Department and dispatched him to mop up the mess at GSA.
Hitting the ground running, he has already:
Centralized control by placing regional finance officers under the direction of GSA headquarters, rather than regional administrators.
Halted most travel and conference spending until leaders have confidence those funds are managed appropriately.
Consolidated authority for conference spending in a single office.
That's a good start. But more must still be done to assure the rest of government that GSA is living up to its mandate to save the government money — rather than waste it on frivolous parties.
First and foremost, GSA must redefine itself as a fierce agent of government efficiency and savings. Culturally and institutionally, GSA carries itself more like a corporate player — preoccupied with striking deals, starting new business ventures, and generating sales and revenues.
Maximizing savings for government customers needs to be the pre-eminent measure of its success.
Second, GSA must prove, through its own aggressive negotiations, that it is an effective negotiator. Increasingly, agencies are opting out of GSA because they believe they can cut better deals on their own. If that's true, GSA is failing in its mission.
GSA's recent move to negotiate multiagency bulk purchase agreements for popular products, known as strategic sourcing, is a good start, and it should expand those efforts.
Third, GSA should partner more closely with its own inspector general's office, which audits contractor-proposed prices and contract terms before they are awarded to ensure maximum value for the government customer. These pre-award audits, which can unearth everything from overcharging for labor rates or overhead to examples of other vendors offering far better deals, lead to lower prices and better terms.
By more closely cooperating with the IG, GSA executives could expand the number of pre-award audits GSA does each year. In the six-month period ending Sept. 30, the IG's office conducted only 52 pre-award audits, of which GSA acted on only 32. Those 32 pre-award audits delivered $200 million in better prices and terms for federal customers.
Finally, GSA headquarters must continue to assert more control over its regional offices.
Tangherlini has a golden opportunity to overhaul and reform GSA and make it the shining example of government efficiency and effectiveness that it can and should be. He must seize the opportunity by continuing to strike now, while the momentum is working in his favor.

2012 has been a very eventful year for the technology sector. There have been many technologies that have taken hold and others are gaining momentum. Some innovations are potential game changers and others have enabled other paradigm shifting advances.
IBM MidMarket and The Forward View have been at the forefront of these developments. By keeping track of the latest developments in the world of technology and understanding the pulse of the social audience, we presented several useful and informative experiences on our social channels.
In celebration of the success and keeping a forward view, we have for you the highlights of the four most prominent experiences in the year gone by.
Tweet Chat (#ITpriorities2013)
By leveraging the power of Twitter, we conducted our first tweet chat on 6th December, 2012. We brought together three IBM subject matter experts to discuss significant trends like cloud, security and virtualization with our social network. The tweet chat centered on the IT priorities for 2013. The participants learned from the IBM subject matter experts – Dr. Gururaj Rao (@rao_gururaj), Srikrishnan Soundarajan (@srisundararajan) and Sujeet Pramanik (@sujeetpramanik). Over the course of the hour, many participants shared their opinions and learned about the latest developments and best practices.
Engines of the Week
Many organizations have implemented IBM solutions in India and have benefited greatly. These organizations operate in a global economy and cater to a diverse set of customers. They often face challenges to growth and agility while responding to market stimuli. They have to answer questions from technological and strategic perspectives that can make or break their efforts for success. Being such powerhouses, it is not difficult to see that these companies are indeed the engines of a smarter planet.
We showcased several such organizations and portrayed their stories on our social networks.
ImperaTives 2012
Innovation and evolution continue to keep business moving forward at breakneck speeds. The rules of business have changed and competition is fierce. In this volatile environment, leaders are often faced with a pressing question: "How can I keep my businesses on track?"
To help businesses succeed, ImperaTives 2012 was conducted in Jaipur this year. The event focused on the bigger picture – the business imperatives of today's day and age. The forum enabled leaders and industry experts to discuss the changing paradigm of business and learn about new advances that have changed the way we do business.
Virtualization Fitness Challenge
Virtualization as a concept is based on proven technologies. However, many IT professionals still do not have a solid understanding of its benefits and advantages. They often express their doubts through statements like: "I didn't realize virtualization could improve my IT infrastructure" or "I don't understand the need to virtualize my system."
To address this need and equip IT professionals with the knowledge and resources required to tackle virtualization, we launched the 'Virtualization Fitness Challenge' on our Facebook page. Through a specially designed experience we helped the participants gauge their understanding and provided customized resources to improve their knowledge. Apart from unlocking badges, participants can also win gift vouchers redeemable at Croma.
This contest is live till 15th January, 2013. You can visit this link to participate and stand a chance to win Croma vouchers up to Rs.10, 000!
What's in store?
As we march steadily into the new year, there is a world of opportunity awaiting businesses in every industry. With technological innovations that have potentially redefined the mechanics of commerce, the rules of business are constantly evolving. The only way companies can thrive is by adapting and upgrading their knowledge base.
Therefore, it is our imperative to help you understand evolving business dynamics and leverage them effectively for success. You can stay up to date with the latest information in the world of enterprise technology and benefit from our expertise on our blog, Facebook page and Twitter channel.
We wish you a very happy new year!

Detective testifies about Jackson doc's money woes

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A police detective who investigated Michael Jackson's doctor says he found massive evidence the physician was in dire financial straits, and he believed the doctor would do whatever necessary to get paid.
Detective Orlando Martinez told jurors hearing a negligence case filed by Jackson's mother that former cardiologist Conrad Murray was more than $500,000 in debt when Jackson died.
Murray was expecting a $150,000 a month paycheck to serve as Jackson's tour doctor, but the singer died before the contract was finalized.

Jackson's mother is suing concert giant AEG Live, claiming it failed to properly investigate Murray or his finances.
Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter after Jackson died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.
AEG has denied wrongdoing.

LOS ANGELES -- Jason Pominville was told it might happen. Still, he says he was shocked when told he had been traded from the only NHL team he ever played for.
After more than seven seasons in Buffalo, he had found a home there. His wife, his kids, his house, his career -- it was all in Buffalo. He was the Sabres' captain.
"It was a shock even though I had a little feeling it might happen," Pominville said Thursday, April 4, in the basement of the Staples Center not long after joining his new team, the Minnesota Wild. "I'm obviously really excited to come to this team, this organization and this city (St. Paul), where they're doing whatever it takes to win. They're heading in the right direction. They've had a lot of success so far, and hopefully I can just fit in and add to the puzzle."
Pominville, 30, likely will play alongside Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu on the top line when he makes his Wild debut Thursday night against the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.
"Obviously they have a lot of talent," Pominville said of the Wild. "I think Mikko is probably one of the most underrated talents in the league. He has a tremendous play-making ability, good speed ... he can play in any situation. And we all know what Zach can bring."
Parise and Pominville played together on the U.S. team in the 2008 IIHF World Championship. Wild defenseman Tom Gilbert was also on that team.
"He was a fun guy to play with, for sure," Pominville said of Parise.
Pominville has 25 points this season on 10 goals and 15 assists.
He said he didn't get much sleep Wednesday night because of nerves and excitement.
"Hopefully the (adrenaline) will get me going," he said.
After completing the deal Wednesday, Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher praised Pominville's ability has a two-way forward. He said it was one of the reasons the team pulled the trigger on the trade.
"His skill set and his mind-set is very similar to a lot of guys on our team in that he takes a lot of pride in his overall game and he's a two-way contributor and a great character guy," Fletcher said. "And the more people you add like that to your group, the stronger you become."
On Thursday, Pominville said he was open to playing in every situation.
"If we need a goal, I can be on the ice for that, if we've got to prevent a goal at the end of the game, I can be on the ice for that," he said. "I think it's just being a reliable guy at both ends of the rink."

After 11 happy years represented by Curtis Brown, Denise has moved to Cole Kitchenn. She has a history with CK - when she was in Corrie, David Cole general managed a musical Denise produced at the Lyric Hammersmith called 'Mad And Her Dad'. Now years later and hot off the back of a number one tour of Sister Act the musical (nearly 400 shows!) she has started life as a Oliver Thomson's client.
Find out more here.
Denise is probably best known as siren hairdresser Denise Osbourne in Coronation Street, a role she played from '92 to '96, with a comeback in '07 to keep Ken on his toes. Also as Denny's mad, bad mum in Bad Girls and as Hazel, the mum all gay men wanted in Russell T Davies' Queer as Folk.
Denise has a passionate interest in stage and music. She recently toured around GB playing the Mother Superior in Sister Act the musical. Also in Calendar Girls and Grumpy Old Women with Britt Eckland and Dillie Keane. She also won the Manchester Evening News Best Supporting Actress Award for her portrayal of Mrs Bryant in Roots (Wesker) at the Manchester Royal Exchange.
Denise was born in Portsmouth and inherited a dose of wanderlust from her Dad and a love of music from her Mum. She got her equity card with the Actor's Touring Company in the early '80s performing plays around the globe, including the South American continent, Israel, Greece, Yugoslavia, and the Orkney Isles. Later in England, she landed her first acting break in the title role of a Pam Gems' premiere of La Pasionaria at the Newcastle Playhouse. There she met Josie Lawrence and Kate McKenzie and their love of late night carousing led to the formation of Denise Black and the Kray Sisters, a 3 girl harmony trio who went on to become Edinburgh festival darlings of the late '80s.
In 1990 Denise made her television debut in Casualty as a street hooker with a bite on her thigh and has since made appearances in Robin Hood, Doc Martin, Small Island, Sensitive Skin, To The Ends Of The Earth, Dalziel and Pascoe, New Tricks, No Angels, Holby City, Midsummer Murders, A Touch of Frost, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Where The Heart Is, Peak Practice, The Vice, and The Bill to name but a few. Also Fred Schepesi's great film Last Orders.
Denise's theatre credits include: Pack at the Finborough Theatre, Sisters (a vertabim play about muslim women) at the Sheffield Crucible; Bedroom Farce (Ackbourn) at the West Yorkshire Playhouse; The Long Road (Stephenson) at the Soho Theatre; Aristo (Sherman) at Chichester Festival Theatre; The Seagull (Chekhov) at the Royal Court; Martha in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf (Albee) at the Liverpool Playhouse; The Retirement of Tom Stevens (Ivory) at the Lakeside; title roles in Yerma (Lorca) and Mrs Warren's Profession (Shaw) at the Manchester Royal Exchange; The Mistress (Wesker) at the Sherman in Cardiff; The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband at the Nottingham Playhouse and Plymouth Theatre Royal and Goneril in King Lear at the Ludlow Festival. Denise currently lives in Brighton with husband Paul and dog. She loves gardening and sailing. Her son Sam is a removals man and builds computers, and her daughter Dandy makes clothes and jewellery and lives in Wimbledon.
Denise writes songs with guitarist Graeme Taylor and gigs with her band The Loose Screw. Their album 'Kiss The Joy' is available on iTunes and at the Dress Circle, Covent Garden.

After a long winter break, the racing season is back in full swing. The British Superbike riders just finished up the first race of the 2011 BSB season, and will return to the track this weekend at Oulton Park. Tommy Hill leads the series, but only by four points ahead of former BSB champion Shane Shakey Byrne.
Hill, who took second place behind Byrne in the opening race of the season before winning race two, will return to the track that ended his title hopes in 2010. Hill was in the running to claim the BSB title, but crashed out twice during the Oulton Park race, leaving his bike in flames in the corner. Hill will definitely be looking for better results this time around, or at the very least, to leave with his bike intact.
"It is fantastic to be leading the championship but it is only round one," Hill said. "The bike has been working well and we couldn't have asked for a better start today. We are now looking forward to Oulton Park and getting the bike to work around what is a completely different track. Hopefully we can get there and come away with a very similar result."
Byrne, who is currently second in the standings, has two BSB titles under his belt. Byrne made his return to the BSB this year, and started the season off with a race win. Byrne will be looking for title number three this year in order to tie the record set by his teammate and defending champion, Ryuichi Kiyonari.
King Kiyo enters the Oulton Park race with history on his side. Kiyo has taken three wins at Oulton Park, and is ready to add another to his tally.
"I won three times at Oulton Park last time we raced there but I know winning is going to be hard this weekend," Kiyo said. "Everybody has shown at Brands Hatch that they are faster and so I know I need to find more from me, I have a mixture of memories from Oulton Park and some are very good, some not so much. I have won races but also it is a difficult track. Oulton Park is more technical that the Brands Hatch Indy circuit so a good setting is going to be so important. I want to race again this weekend though as we didn't win at Brands Hatch. I need wins and podiums for the championship so I will do everything I can."
Oulton Park will also see the introduction of Jenny Tinmouth, who will be the BSB's first female racer.
"My ambition has always been to race in the British Superbike series and I've been trying to get on one for some time," said Tinmouth.
The BSB gets underway on Saturday, with both Superbike races on Monday.

"No," she says, her breeziness sounding a little strained. "This is so great. It's so great that the movie's out there, and a lot of people from my past know what I'm doing. I've reconnected with a lot of people, so this is such a . . . treat."
A treat? That's hardly what I was expecting. At least she's not calling the cops.
I begin the interview with questions any journalist would ask. What was the process involved in the play becoming a film, etc. And for a time, it does sound like a conventional interview. I can hear Josefina's relief at this as she discusses bringing Real Women from the stage to the screen and the changes the project went through along the way.
But then I ask her a question about the vast difference in tone between one of her surrealist plays I read in the olden days and the realistic comedy-drama of Real Women, and somehow that faint invocation of our time together begins to crack the thin veneer of professionalism between us. Josefina tells me she's interested in doing more experimental work in the future, that next June, she's hoping to direct Add Me to the Party, a film that will have magical-realist elements. Of course, I'm barely listening as I wait to get to the stuff we both know is coming. Finally, I do.
"This could be entirely ego talking, but I did wonder: Is there any element of the Jimmy character that's based on, uh . . . our experience?" I can't quite make myself say me.
"No," she says with an inscrutable little chuckle. "It was another guy. It was a boyfriend after you."
My feelings a little hurt, I then tell her not to worry about sparing my feelings.
"No," she tells me. "You sound very mature. You sound like a very stable man."
She puts me on hold to tend to her baby, and there is a long stretch of tape that's nothing but background hum. Finally, I'm heard heaving a heavy sigh.
"Very stable," my voice says in the darkness. "That's me."
When Josefina returns, I begin to plead my case that Jimmy is indeed me. "There were definitely elements, when I was watching the film, when I said, 'Well, that's not me.' But there were other things where I thought, 'Well, that's sort of familiar.'"
"That's true," Josefina says. "You used to compliment me. You complimented me a lot, which at that time, I think, was kind of hard to take."
The conversation wanders into talk of mutual friends, including the friend who told me Josefina actually dumped me because I took time away from her art. I ask Josefina if that was true, and as I do, I don't quite manage to keep 14 years' worth of bitterness out of my voice. At first, Josefina's response is calm, but as she continues, it's clear the sheer weirdness of the call is starting to get to her.
"I actually wrote about this in an essay, about when I was trying to break up with you and you just wouldn't give up. I remember I was trying to get to class, and then you pulled at my hand, and I slipped and ended up skinning my knee."
"My god," my voice says on the tape. "I don't remember any of this."
Now a bitter edge begins to creep into her voice. "I started crying. You pulled me, and I remember you were very adamant, like, 'No! You're dumping me? No, you're not dumping me!' I was like, 'Gosh, I'm sorry.' I felt really bad. And then I fell, and all these people were watching us, everybody saw that you did that. You were very public."
As she speaks, the memory comes back to me. I remember the morning we'd been standing on the school steps between classes; I'd asked Josefina about getting together at lunch, and she was evasive and clearly uncomfortable. Then she announced she wanted to break up. While I was still reeling, she said she was late for class and started to leave. I remember the panic I felt as I realized the only person I knew in the entire school—almost in the entire world—was about to walk away for good and the anger I felt at how she could do this and then march off to algebra class 10 seconds later. I did grab her arm as she turned to go, not intending to hurt her, but she took a header off the steps and landed with a thump on the asphalt below. I remember the blood on her knee. I remember the way my stomach imploded as I realized a horrible situation had just gotten so much worse.
Now, so many years on, we're talking on the tape, and I can hear an ancient hurt rising in Josefina's voice. "I just said, 'You know, that's it.' I ran off to the women's bathroom, and you chased after me, saying, 'Oh, my God, I'm so sorry; I'm so sorry!' I went inside to a toilet stall because I knew you wouldn't leave me alone. The bell rang, class started, and you kept sending women in to come get me, to say please come out and you were very sorry. So, I waited, like, 15 minutes, and then you came in to the women's restroom. Do you remember that?"

Friday Book Design Blog: The Bone Clocks, by David Mitchell
So this week we were introduced to the cover of the next novel by David Mitchell, The Bone Clocks. His publisher, Sceptre, have put up a dedicated website, with an 'interactive cover' – i.e. you click on bits of it to get all the bits you usually get by not having to click on bits of a book cover. (Click on the lighthouse, for example, to "View a photo of David Mitchell"; clicking on it takes you to: https://www.hodder.co.uk/assets/HodderStoughton/img/Author%20Photos/David_Mitchell.jpg. Hmm, a bit more thought could have gone into that aspect.)
There has been a certain amount of chat on Twitter about the cover, comparing it to its US counterpart from Random House), which is far more austere: it appears to be part of some sort of machine; we see series of concentric metallic circles, like shutters over a lens, with – ooh! – an apple in the middle of them, the whole thing overlaid with what appears to be a view of an ocean from space, with partial cloud coverage.
If that seems like a tantalising set of clues, the UK cover is a veritable cornucopia of them: look! There's a labyrinth, an old-fashioned pocket watch, an apple, a cassette tape, a double spiral staircase, that lighthouse, and – smaller now – a bird, a spider, a cat, a flying bee or beetle, a bicycle, a pair of structures that might be buildings, might be mantelpiece ornaments, and, streaming around the cover to link these disparate elements: waves of water, ribbons of unspooled cassette tape, skeins of pink paint that turn into stylised birds (pawed at by the cat), twigs and branches, both living brown-green and dead-or-artificial grey-silver, threads of smoke, some kind of amber necklace dipping into at the top… and, behind them all, a dark backdrop of the night sky, with stars and clouds.
Are these really clues, though?
The press release gives us an intriguing introduction to Mitchell's novel:
"One drowsy summer's day in 1984, teenage runaway Holly Sykes encounters a strange woman who offers a small kindness in exchange for 'asylum'. Decades will pass before Holly understands exactly what sort of asylum the woman was seeking…
"The Bone Clocks follows the twists and turns of Holly's life, from a scarred adolescence in Gravesend to old age on Ireland's Atlantic coast as Europe's oil supply dries up – a life not so far out of the ordinary, yet punctuated by flashes of precognition, visits from people who emerge from thin air and brief lapses in the laws of reality. For Holly Sykes – daughter, sister, mother, guardian – is also an unwitting player in a murderous feud played out in the shadows and margins of our world, and may prove to be its decisive weapon."
Now, does any of the cover imagery chime with any of that? No, it doesn't.
The cover contains just one clue: this, like Mitchell's best books, is built out of a collection of glittering, seemingly disparate elements that become linked together, as we read the book, not necessarily through narrative, but thematically, nudgingly, teasingly – premonitions and fantastical occurrences bringing worlds into collision.
Mitchell is a master stylist, producing exquisite and tasteful pastiches of well-chosen genres and writers, which he then doesn't so much weave together as juggle and then freeze in mid-air – there is always clear blue sky between them, but always enough echoes for us to draw the lines between them (and of course this structure is itself a pastiche: a reader-friendly smoothing-out of postmodern bricolage).
So, looking at the cover tells us nothing, really, about what's likely to be inside, except, I guess, that this is not the David Mitchell of Black Swan Green or The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet or Peep Show (so-rr-ee!), this is the David Mitchell of his first three books, Ghostwritten and number9dream and Cloud Atlas. It's David Mitchell going back to what he probably does best (or what sold best, at least).
In fact, the biggest clue of all on the cover is that 'author of CLOUD ATLAS' nipped in below his name.
It's not a bad cover. It is, at least, an honest cover. And, as such, I think I prefer it to the more overtly sophisticated US one.

Tempelhof rescue fails to take flight
The airport – identified by Albert Speer as central to the reconstruction of Berlin during the Nazi era and designed by Ernst Sagebiel in the late 1930s – split the German capital over whether it should be demolished.
According to the German press, the airport failed to attract the necessary 25 per cent of Berliners to make a referendum count. It was backed by only 21 per cent.
A new, larger airport outside the city meant Tempelhof's passenger numbers dwindled to just 350,000 out of Berlin's 20 million air passengers in 2007, and the airport is losing millions each year.
Tempelhof was dear to many West Berliners as it played a central role in the 1948 Berlin airlift which kept the city stocked with food and fuel during the Soviet blockade.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been among those fighting to keep the airport. She said: 'The continued operation of Tempelhof isn't just significant to the economy and to jobs. To many people and to me personally, this airport, with the airlift, is a symbol of the city's history.'

1905-02-27 (150lbs) Charlie Allum w rsc 10 (15) Jack Kingsland, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England
1905-02-27 (150lbs)Charlie Allum w rsc 10 (15) Jack Kingsland, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England. Referee: J. H. Douglas. Billed for the English 150lbs title, twice in the opening session Kingsland (149) went down in a somewhat questionable manner after Allum (149) had landed with solid body punches but was made to fight on. Allum continued to visit the head and body with great force and in the fifth he drove in a perfectly good right to the body that Kingsland again queried unsuccessfully with the referee. Twice Allum had Kingsland over in the sixth and following a scrappy couple of sessions he repeated the act in the ninth, sending his rival back to his corner in a sorry state. On coming out for the tenth, it was clearly seen that Kingsland had little left and after Allum had decked him twice more the referee had seen enough and awarded the contest to the latter.
Somewhat surprisingly, Kingsland was claiming the same title through the auspices of the Sporting Life on 13 March 1906, having recently knocked out the previously unbeaten Tom Lancaster. Almost immediately, Allum challenged his former victim to a contest that would decide the championship, but the match was never made and both men carried on claiming the title.

Newark Catholic's Caroline Wollenburg shoots a jumper during a 2011-12 game against Heath. Wollenburg is a three-year starter for the Green Wave.
- Filed Under
Although Newark Catholic is relatively young, second-year coach Rob Smith refuses to use that as an excuse.
As a matter of fact, it's just the opposite. He said the No. 1 goal is to get to the state tournament.
"We have a job to get to get done, and that is making it the state tournament," said Smith, who guided the Green Wave to a 23-2 overall record and a Division IV district championship in 2011-12. "We can't be happy with winning the district championships. It's time to take the next step." ...

Apple launches expected in-store pickup in San Francisco
updated 10:40 am EDT, Wed October 26, 2011
Pilot limited to just three stores
As anticipated, Apple has begun a pilot program offering retail pickup for online orders. The option must be selected during the checkout process at Apple's online store. Only the company's three San Francisco outlets are available as destinations: aside from the flagship store, this includes Chestnut Street and Stonestown.
One report suggests that the pilot program should expand to other parts of the Bay Area "within the next couple of days or so." Should Apple not have any problems, in-store pickup is expected to spread across the rest of the US in coming months. There is no word on when the option might extend outside of US borders.
MacRumors notes that in-store pickup may potentially be slower than simply choosing delivery. The shipping window for a custom 27-inch iMac, for instance, may currently fall between October 29th and November 2nd, but selecting in-store pickup sets a November 3rd target. The main reason to pick the in-store option may simply be avoiding hassles like missed deliveries or having to wait at home or work.

The mini concrete runway as been built since may 2011. Security is improved for the take off of heavy gliders.
Klaus flew several world record attempts with the the I-caré solar glider in September from Serres. The world records have been approved in December!
Klaus was in California to participate in the Green Flight Challenge from sept 25th to october 3rd as the e-Genius pilot. The team won the 2nd place.
Hello to all,
The web site of Quo Vadis was created now 15 years ago! The technologies of the network and the communication since evolved well. So that you can take advantage of it, we decided to create a new site. His name is " flyserres ". It is accessible to the www.flyserres.com address. You can have access on your PC of course but also on your Tablets and Smartphones there.
This shift of the website Quo Vadis towards that of website flyserres is going to be gradually made. We hope that before July the website flyserres will be completely operational.
We suggest you at the moment continuing to come on the website Quo Vadis. According to the comprehensiveness of certain sections of the website flyserres, the website Quo Vadis will propose you a link to reach the equivalent section of the new website flyserres.
Thank you beforehand for your understanding. Good flights to all.
The team of Eagles.
(Translated by Pascal)
It was such a beautiful day on Tuesday. Thomas from Savoie, one of Robin's students, took the opportunity to log several more flights in order to finish his pilot training. The exam is scheduled next week. Robin will have trained roughly five pilots this season. We thank him for his fine work ;)
Mid-afternoon, Sunday those in flight near Serres could see a large plume of smoke. Two hours later came six ETFs and two Canadair water bombers. It was necessary to clear the area on Arambre, on the Serres side, with our gliders to let them work in peace.
They are really addicted to Serres-La Bâtie... Even there campers are shaped as a glider wing. Not quite the shape of a Arcus wing, of course, but still. Too cute!
You're all a bunch of assassins, you kill hundreds during each flight. It was a mosquito and a fly crushed on the leading edge of the wing. At least have a thought for them when cleaning your glider! And by the way, don't be surprised that flying over the Mercantour Park is prohibited within 1,000 m ground level. There is probably over there a particular fly species, called "Royal Fly of the Mercantour" that must be protected. LOL.
Yesterday evening, after a flight in the Stemme with Klaus, I did a close-up photo of his glider. To my suprise, here are the pictures obtained.
Can you guess what it is and what part of the glider I photographed?
I'll allow you some time to think... Answer to be revealed in a week ;)
A typical July morning on the airfield. Jano is checking the swimming pool, children are playing in the sandbox and Olivier is refueling the tug, anticipating the day forecasted as great.
Throughout last week, the electric twin-seater plane E-Genius was on our airfield for tests as well as world record attemps. This machine uses a sole power source - a lithium polymer 450V battery - thus, the available capacity is of 50 Ah or 80 kWh. This "theoretically" allows it to travel, in stable weather conditions, 500 km at an average speed of 150 km/h. The maximum weight of the aircraft is 900 kg, including 280 kg for the battery.
In two flights, on July 18th and 19th, Klaus achieved seven world records with the e-Genius (validations by the FAI are pending) :
- Speed on 100 km round trip : 178.1 km/h
- Speed on 500 km round trip : 93.03 km/h
- Distance of 504 km
- Absolute altitude 6,376 m
- Time to climb to 6,000 m : 1:53 min
- Altitude maintained for at least 90s : 6350m
- Speed over 15 km on a straight line: 229.7 km/h
During the flights, the maximum temperature allowed by the electric engine is 120°C which in turn permits the maximum engine power of about 35 kW (47 hp) continuously.
Through these world records, Klaus wishes to promote renewable energy development in aviation. He is convinced that in a few years electric proplusion will be the new standard in recreational aviation. This will occur quite soon where motor-gliders are concerned (cf the already commercialised Silent 2 Electro) and subsequently for aircrafts.
Do you realize that with the e-Genius, during these records, two people made a 100 km flight at 180 km/h while using only 25 kWh of electricity, for a total energy cost of 2.50 € (based on the cost of EDF (French electric company) 0.1 € per kWh)? Astounding, isn't it?
Let's dream for a while. Imagine in two years from now, the e-Genius having charged it's battery using electricity produced by a photovoltaic power plant under construction on the airfield next door at Aspres-sur-Buëch. Electricity directly from producer to consumer ;)
Finally, when you think about it, a flight in a pure glider draws thermonuclear energy from the sun. Indeed, it's the sun who is the source of all thermals as well as winds (dynamic and wave flights) used by glider pilots. Adding an electric propulsion means in a glider using photovoltaic electricity is an optimized utilization of this incredible and unfailing source of renewable energy that our sun is!!
There is a forty-five year span between the construction of 2 twin-seaters currently on the airfield. Building materials and performances are definitely different (wood & canvas versus composite carbon as well as glide ratio respectively 30 and 50) but it's still the same pleasure flying for the pilots and passengers.
Starting July 14th, EAGLES offers flights in a Duo Discus, two-seater glider adding on to the fleet ...
The glider is available for accompanying training "Cross-country" or advanced "Mountain training".The price per week (Sunday to Friday) is 1580 € in Mountain flying and 1800 € accompaniment cross-country flights.
For members of the Club EAGLES, rental rates are 180 € / day or 1300 € / week.
Reservations can be made with Marta or via the contact form. Enjoy your flights ;)
We are pleased to announce that, as of Monday, July 14th, 2014 the baker at Aspremont (Bakery "Au Petit Délice") will come daily (except Wednesdays) at 8:00 am here on the airfield. You'll be aware of his approach thanks to the honks. He will park in front of the office to serve you. You will find baguettes, bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, croissants, cakes, pizzas ... Do not hesitate also to submit your wishes/orders if you want something else (sandwiches, other cakes, buns, pizza ...). He also speaks English.
Good appetite to all.
Sunday, June 8 at 20:00 by air from the Czech Republic, the UL tow-plane "Phoenix" touched its wheels on the airfield at Serres-La Batie. It is now at home ;)
Monday, Klaus did some tryouts on the UL while on the groundthanks to the manufacturer's explanations - disassembly / reassembly of the aircraft, engine maintenance .... Early Tuesday morning,Klaus and Fred made the first flights, discovering the aircraft. In the coming days the Phoenix will go to the National Gliding Centre (CNVV) in St Auban for a serie of towing tests with Daniel Serres of the CNVV. Only when these tests are accomplished and validated by the French Authorities, the Phoenix will be allowed to tow you. Of course, we will keep you posted as the situation evolves.
To prepare the scientific flights in the area of Mount Everest, Klaus and Anssi made a reconnaissance flight of the air mass with Stemme right in middle of the jetstream while the engine was running. The wind speed was 184 km/h at 6000 m. You will see it was a bit bumby. Fasten your seatbelts!
The only two-seater wood and canvas flying in Serres made its first flight of the season this Sunday. A five-hour flight among the beautiful clouds. What happiness for its pilot and owner, Pascal. A little video to capture the moment.
This Saturday evening was held the first General Assembly of our Club "Eagles-Alpine Soaring Academy" (E-ASA), which manages the gliding (and other aeronautical activities) on the Serres-La Bâtie airfield. During the G.A. the internal regulations were approved. In 2013, the club counted 346 members. Long live the Eagles!
The towplane "Phoenix" intended for Quo Vadis went out of factory and made its first flight on May 12th on Usti Nad Orlici/LKUO's airport (Czech Republic). Still some flights and it will take the way to Serres ;)
Today the first turning of the Sailplane Grand Prix 2014 of Sisteron was the aerodrome of Serres. They all passed at about 3:00 pm. To live this moment once more in 3D simulation here.
It's Hugues, from Paris, that had the luck to be the first guy to do his first solo flight of this year. Glider Grob 103 TWIN, instructor Robin. Then, let's go to the pilot licence soon!!!
A TV team from TF1 is shooting here during all the week. The topic is about Klaus and his shool, his gliding concept and of course his flight abov Everest. The is to be soon displayed on french chanel 1, TF1, in a program called "sept à huit". We will inform you as soon as we know the date.
Klaus has been able to acheive his dream by conquering Mount Everest in a glider (without using the engine) through a combinatino of thermals, rotors and wave. Here is his story.
A more complete report, videos and photos will no doubt be available in the coming weeks. In a few days, Klaus will return to Serres flying the Stemme.
CONGRATULATIONS Klaus!
You saw certainly never Everest like that
Robin was airborne again at Céüze while waiting for the opening of the glider season on March 1st. Ah, what doesn't happen when dealing with the need to fly!
The sky on the airfield was recently painted with a full rainbow. A stunning reminder of just how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area.
The wandering albatross spends weeks, even months, at sea without ever returning to land. With precise GPS data and custom navigation software, researchers have finally figured out how. Click here for the explanations.
We are pleased to present you the flight of Klaus Ohlmann and Anssi Soila to join Nepal. They fly the Stemme D-KKOP for a mesurments camp that will take place in Pokhara in november. Tha Mountain wave project is collaborating with other research organisations for this Huge work.
To know more about, see Nepal - Greenflight or Anssi Soila's blog http://missionhimalaya.com
As you can see the baker at Serres of the Marmotte Gourmande is eagerly awaited for on the airfield! He comes every day, except for Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, between 8am and 8:30. You know when he's nearby when you hear his car horn honking.
Here is a map showing the glider flying rules in the Ecrins National Park. The corridors are allowed at more than 2800 m above sea level and 1000 m in width. NB: The corridors outside of the boundaries of the park (purple line) are not subjected to any regulations. They are only there for a better understanding of how to use the corridors.
To integrate these corridors in your browser, you will find here the code lines to input (thank's Martin for the file).
Big crowds are now on the airfield.
See the video here.
The person who gives the exact number of gliders and trailers visible on the video may be entitled to a basket of local products!
Our 2 models are presenting the new hats with the Eagles logo.
They are now available - the hats that is - at the office.
They come in 2 colours - white or blue - and the price is 8 €. Useful at this end of July for sun protection and even thunderstorms ;)
Since a few days, there are thunderstorms every afternoon. but we could fly 5 hours on sunday and monday, 4 ours on tusday. Of course we do not go very far, we need to come back to the airfield befor the heavy rain and lightnings. Anyway, we learn every day.
This weekend, it's with tears in our eyes, we have seen the Blanik D-9676 leave the airfield. For over 12 years, it was the campanion to a numerous amount of pilots and of course, Robin. A new chapter at Quo Vadis has begun! But don't be too sad, it's starting a new life in Russia. Here in Europe, it has been grounded for the last 2 years and would probably have ended up as scrap metal! So, seek new winds Blanik!
Philippe, a former pilot of the majestic Concorde in the late 80's, came to enjoy a long flight in the Stemme with Klaus. From a supersonic to a super sailplane; different feelings but just as exhilarating!
Klaus took off early this morning with his Stemme (before the bad weather caught him up) for an attempt on a continental record for 2000 km towards Austria. Good luck!
Quo Vadis / Eagles has rented for 4 months an Ultra-light Dynamic WT9 as a tug-plane. It used to second the trusty Rallye 180 CV "Marsupilami".
All about the UL Dynamic WT9 tug here.
This is an additional document both technical & illustrated by the French Gliding Federation's "SAFETY AIMS" concerning risks and threats linked to mountain flying.
March was singular. The beginning with very beautiful days of thermal and flights in wave towards the Grand Paradis and the Aosta Valley. The middle of March with the snow and a waterlogged runway which ground gliders during two days.
The end of March which, in spite of a whimsical weather, allowed very beautiful flights (18 hours of flight in three days). We make up the lost time and we benefit completely of days until last ones sunbeams and the first beams of the moon!
For your safety and that of the other pilots think to update your Flarm with the last version 5.09 of March, 2013. To download it is here.
And do not forget to look outside!!!
It needed some time for FAI to recognise the last world records of Klaus Ohlmann with the solarplane SEIKO Icaré2, but finally...My special thanks to Heinz Seidel for Transport and his tireless help and Jürgen Eckert, who invented a new documentationsystem for solarplanes in no time.
Special thanks of course for all the students and engineers from IFB Stuttgart, who made wings from a dream.
A small video from the record flight is here:

|Acerca de mi empresa
The family members who run and lovingly maintain Villa del Faro, fluctuate somewhat, but there is more or less the same group most of the time. Like the birds, we change seasonally too. There are artists, writers,architects, designers, musicians still working and playing here on and off all year. We have learned that living beautifully is an art.
So if you like good books, great food, music, exquisite surroundings, comfortable ambiance, the sound of the ocean to put you to sleep, the great outdoors….a conscious embrace of all living things, then by all means come and enjoy this remarkable place with us. It is well worth a try.
