IBERDROLA Renewables and the Biodiversity Foundation, belonging to Spain's Ministry of the Environment, co-hosted a special preview screening of the BBC feature-length documentary film Planet Earth, of which Spain's IBERDROLA utility group was a co-sponsor.
The gala screening of the Spanish-language version of the film, called Tierra, was held at the wide-screen Callao cinema in central Madrid, and attended by numerous dignitaries, including Spain's Environment Minister Cristina Narbona; IBERDROLA Chairman Ignacio Galán; José María Morales, CEO of the film's Spanish distributors Wanda Producciones; and Keith Scholey, Senior Executive Producer at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
At the screening, Galán said "IBERDROLA's support for this important project reflects our commitment to sustainability, care of the environment, and the fight against climate change."
"I think our country is making a huge effort to keep its commitments under the Kyoto agreement," he said. "Even so, we must step up these efforts if we want to preserve the natural marvels that are shown in this film, and if we want to ensure the balance among ecosystems, and the planet on which we live."
The ambitious film project by Britain's public radio and television company had its world debut on 22 September in Spain at the San Sebastian Film Festival, and will be released commercially on Friday, 26 October. The film and television series took five years to produce, and cost $47 million. Directed by Alistair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, Planet Earth was shot in some 200 locations around the world by 40 specialised film crews using the most advanced equipment and techniques.
The film provides a view of the planet based on the sun's "path" during an entire year, and it focuses on the diversity of wildlife, the climate, and the landscape through its three leading characters, a polar bear, an elephant, and a whale.
The film is the centrepiece of a global project that includes the web site www.loveearth.com/es/, educational material, environmental initiatives, events, and publications.
IBERDROLA Renovables
IBERDROLA Renovables contributed financing to the BBC project in keeping with its business strategy as provider of clean electricity from renewable energy sources, especially wind power. The multinational utility group has won international recognition for its commitment to safeguarding the environment, and has been included for the past two years in the Climate Leadership Index and for the past eight in the Dow Jones Sustainablity Index, because of its enlightened corporate, environmental, and social policies.
The IBERDROLA Group is in the vanguard of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as called for under the Kyoto agreement, and a contributor to the 15% reduction in such emissions Spain achieved in the first three quarters of 2007. Nearly half the electricity produced by the IBERDROLA group worldwide is emissions-free, and in Spain clean energy already represents some three-fourths of the group's total output.
At the end of September, IBERDROLA Renovables, the world's largest wind power company*, had a production capacity from renewable sources of 7,342 MW**. The energy it produces from renewable sources is sufficient to meet the needs of some 10.5 million consumers, and spares the earth's atmosphere from emissions of more than 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 each year.

Vintage Base Ball Season Leaves Everybody as Winners
Grand Hotel has completed it's vintage base ball season. Ball players came to Grand Hotel from five states this year to play 13 games. Scores were kept but forgotten. There wasn't a trophy or a champion. Vintage base ball isn't about that.
The players and spectators gathered at Woodfill Park to celebrate the early game of baseball on June 7, August 16, and September 20. They took to the field—bare-handed—to play the game simply for the passion within them. When a club was short on players they invited spectators to come onto the field to fill the spot—and they did. Children of all ages took their bats and made their plays regardless of what uniform or non-uniform they were wearing.
When the weather didn't cooperate the players didn't take no for an answer. They took the field anyway. Wet, dirty, and smiling they continued to share the early game with anybody who would take an interest.
The umpire, separate from any of the clubs, traveled to Mackinac Island to call foul balls and share his knowledge of the early game with the passers by—sometimes forgetting to watch the game as he spoke with the fans. But it didn't matter because the players treated the game with respect and played as gentlemen without argument, salary, or tantrum. Honesty came forth on a close call and clubs cheered their rivals on when a good play was made.
When the day was over and all were sun drenched and worn, the clubs came together for a meal and one more excuse to talk about the early game and spend time with their baseball family. Plans for future games were made and tales of past events remembered—all with reverence to the traditions of the early baseball clubs of 150 years ago.
These qualities of good sportsmanship, good manners and a family atmosphere are often hard to find at sporting events in modern times. Thank you to the ball players for continually reminding us that old times are not forgotten.
Thank you guest blogger Jason Kladiva.

JERUSALEM — An American woman has lost her eye during a demonstration in Jerusalem against Israel's naval raid on a Gaza aid flotilla, a hospital official said Tuesday.
Emily Henochowicz, 21, of Maryland, underwent surgery after suffering the injury, said hospital spokeswoman Yael Bossem-Levy.
Henochowicz was hit in the face by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman, said witness Jonathan Pollak.
He said Palestinian youths were hurling rocks, but Henochowicz didn't participate in any violence and was standing at a distance.
Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman, said, "We can confirm that a U.S. citizen, Emily Henochowicz, suffered a serious injury when a gas canister hit her in the face, as she was standing among other protesters in the West Bank at the Qalandiya checkpoint between the West Bank and Israel."
There was no immediate military comment.
In a Facebook message to The Associated Press, Sarah Henochowicz said the family would have no comment about her sister, calling it "a private matter."
On her Facebook page, Emily Henochowicz's current city is listed as Ramallah, West Bank, and her latest posting on Monday read: "Gaza on my Mind." Her page says she is a student at Cooper Union, a college in New York, and Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
On another page, a posting said: "A message from Emily's sister Sarah Henochowicz: This is to notify everyone concerned about my sister Emily. The surgery was successful and she is currently recuperating in Hadassah Hospital. Thank you for your kind words and support, my family and I greatly appreciate it. Her father is by her side and will bring her ... home as soon as she is able to travel.'"
Associated Press writer Nafeesa Syeed in Washington contributed to this report.

Kim Gordon w/ Dinosaur Jr at T5 in 2012 (more by Gretchen Robinette)

On the first night (11/13), there will be a VIP reception at 7 PM which will feature Kim performing as a duo with drummer Tim Barnes (who has played with Jim O'Rourke, Silver Jews, etc), along with food and drinks by Rucola.

Dinosaur Jr. at Irving Plaza in June (more by Caroline Harrison)
Dinosaur Jr. has been doing the festival circuit lately, having recently hit Riot Fest Chicago, Governors Ball, and they've got Mexico City's Corona Capital Fest coming up soon. (Their Culture Collide kickoff show in LA with Phoenix was postponed.) Otherwise their touring schedule is pretty light, but it's been announced that they will return to NYC to open the previously discussed MGMT show at Barclays Center (12/13). Kuroma, who used to be in MGMT, is on the bill too. Tickets for the show are on AmEx presale now and they go on sale to the general public on Friday (10/4) at 11 AM. All Dino Jr dates are listed below.
Earlier today we mentioned that Dinosaur Jr.'s 1993 album Where You Been is being covered in full by an emo supergroup that features members of Texas is the Reason, Knapsack, Samiam and more. We just premiered the cover of "Start Choppin," which features vocals from Samiam's Jason Beebout, and you can listen here.
Dino bassist Lou Barlow's other band, Sebadoh, is also touring this year, and they'll play NYC on November 1 at Bowery Ballroom with Octa#grape. Tickets for that show are still available.

members of Texas is the Reason, Knapsack, Samiam & more covering Dinosaur Jr.'s 'Where You Been' LP (stream a track)
by Andrew Sacher
Two different sections of the '90s underground, indie rock and emo, will be coming together with a new project called Felled Trees. The band is comprised of members of '90s emo bands Texas is the Reason, Samiam, Knapsack (plus newer bands like Thrice and RX Bandits) and more, and they've come together to record a tribute album to Dinosaur Jr.'s Where You Been for its 20th anniversary. The core lineup is bassist Ed Breckenridge (Thrice), guitarist Sergie Loobkoff (Samiam, Solea, Knapsack), and drummer/producer Roger Camero (No Motiv, Peace'd Out), and the album includes guest vocal appearances from Garrett Klahn (Texas is the Reason, Atlantic/Pacific, Solea), Jason Beebout (Samiam), Blair Sheehan (Knapsack, The Jealous Sound), Karl Larsson (Last Days of April), Davey Warsop (Suedehead, Beat Union), plus keys by Steve Choi (RX Bandits, Peace'd Out).
The first single released from the album was "Get Me" with Texas is the Reason's Garret Klahn on vocals, and the second is "Start Choppin" with Samiam's Jason Beebout on vocals, which makes its premiere in this post. It stays pretty true to the original and Jason's take on J Mascis' relaxed drawl totally captures his essence. In Jason's own words:
"Start Choppin" is rad because it is such an anthem, you can't help but sing along. Cruising through the verses with J Mascis, diggin the vibe and feeling awesome and then, like so many other good songs, when you get to the chorus there's that hard part that makes your voice crack and you are reminded that you are mortal and this band is great and you are thankful they were able to pull off such a sweet number.And his Samiam bandmate Sergie Loobkoff added:
When 'Green Mind' came out, I was still hung up on the erroneous thought that Dinosaur had lost it or 'sold out' because a. it being on a, gasp, major label and that b. J squeezed out Murph on drums and 'some guy' replaced Lou. But in the few years that passed by the time "Where You Been' came out, I realized that J was the far superior drummer, Mike Johnson was an tasty bassist...and who cares what label a band is on?The album comes out on October 15 via Siren Records, and it can be pre-ordered here. Check out the streams of "Start Choppin" and "Get Me," along with the album artwork and tracklist, below.
So I put on 'Where You Been' and of course even just the opening lead of 'Out There' blew my mind. You'd think that it would be hard to match on the second song...but 'Start Choppin' was a motherfucker. The guitar riff has that feeling of familiarity...like I already knew it when I heard it for the first time. And the melody and lyrics were classic Mascis. If you relate to one of his songs...well, thematically there isn't a huge range of topics...you 'get' all of his songs.
In related news, Knapsack bring their previously mentioned reunion tour to NYC on November 17 at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Have Mercy and I Hate Our Freedom. Tickets for that show are still available.
Song streams and more, below...

Riot Fest Chicago day 2 in pics (Blondie, X, FLAG, Rancid, The Selecter, Stars, Glassjaw, Public Enemy, GBV, Dino Jr. & more)

Blondie / Glassjaw / Public Enemy fans
With about 20 albums under their belt, it was interesting to see what songs Guided By Voices would pick for their Riot Fest set. Keeping in mind that most audience members might not be familiar with everything in their vast discography, frontman Robert Pollard announced each song's name with a short introduction throughout the whole set. The band opened with "Xeno Pariah" and followed up with songs like "Island," "Shocker in Gloomtown," and "The Challenge Is Much More," only stopping to take a quick swig from a small bottle to oil up his voice. [BV Chicago]Riot Fest Chicago (the second of three Riot Fests this year) continued on Saturday (9/14) for its second of three days. The second day had tons of multi-generational alternative music representation including punk's late '70s heyday (Blondie, X, FLAG -- the Keith Morris version of Black Flag), second wave ska (The Selecter), third wave ska (Rancid), classic indie rock (Dinosaur Jr., Violent Femmes, Guided by Voices), modern indie rock (Surfer Blood, Stars, The Sidekicks), classic hip hop (Public Enemy), and turn-of-the-millenium poppunk/emo/post-hardcore (blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, Glassjaw). Pictures from that day are in this post, and there's more pictures, plus a review, over at BV Chicago.
Update: Day 3 pictures are here and here.
If you missed them, check out day 1 pics and more day 1 pics. More of day 2, below...

What to get the Dinosaur Jr. obsessive in your life besides expensive tinnitus surgery? Perhaps you'd be interested in the upcoming Dinosaur Jr, the coffee table book, that chronicles the veteran indie rockers from high school through the present day. It's got never-before-seen photographs, loads of old flyers, new interviews with J, Lou, Murph and former members Mike Johnson and George Berz, archival interviews and lots more.
There are two editions: the "classic" edition, and the "signature edition" that is signed by the band and comes with an additional volume as well as fine art prints. You can pre-order now and both editions will be out in November -- just in time for the holidays.
Dinosaur Jr. were last here in June for Governors Ball. Lou will be back with Sebadoh in November, and there's a listening party for their new album on Saturday (8/17) at Greenpoint's Permanent Records.
Check out a promotional Video for the Dinosaur Jr. book below.

Dinosaur Jr. played Irving Plaza after Governors Ball (pics); Heavy Blanket's Union Pool show got shut down (too loud!)
by Caroline Harrison
Dinosaur Jr. @ Irving Plaza 6/7/2013
After a thoroughly rained-on and mud-soaked Friday, Governor's Ball headed to Irving Plaza for an after party with Dinosaur Jr. and Reignwolf. "WE ARE THE KINGS OF LEON," proclaimed Lou Barlow, "AND THIS IS SEX ON FIRE," apparently tickled that the platinum-selling band had to move their Governor's Ball performance to Saturday because of the inclement weather. Dinosaur Jr., who took the stage at Irving around 1:15 AM, tore through a 17-song set at their usual preposterous volume.
The band, approaching the thirtieth anniversary of their formation, still rocks--harder than most. Legendary guitarist (and possible wizard) J. Mascis has had a busy few days. The band played two sets on Friday, one in the rain, and on Saturday, one of Mascis' other bands, Heavy Blanket, played a free afternoon Summer Thunder show at Union Pool that BV presented and got shut down after 15 minutes for being too damn loud.
Hopefully, Dinosaur Jr. will be coming around again soon. They've already played both Bug (1988) and You're Living All Over Me (1987) in their entirety. I'm holding out for a tour on Green Mind. Until then, more pictures from Irving Plaza, including one of Dinosaur Jr's setlist, are below.

Dinosaur Jr. / Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs / muddy people
Thanks to the storm that hit us on Friday (6/7), day 1 of Governors Ball got off to a pretty messy start. It wasn't so bad at first, and early sets from Polica and Dinosaur Jr. (who had a bunch of fans there in J.Mascis-style grey wigs) were still enjoyable despite the weather, but later in the day, the rain severely picked up and Feist's set was shut down after one song. Other artists, like Beach House, were cut off early too, and some, like Pretty Lights and Kings of Leon (who ended up playing Saturday instead), had to cancel completely. Still, before then there was much to enjoy, and the Skyy Vodka Tent made for a great place to take shelter and dry off. Plus huge afternoon dance parties from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Crystal Castles didn't hurt either.
Stay tuned for our continued coverage of Governors Ball, and follow BrooklynVegan on twitter and instagram for live updates (as much as cell phone service permits at least, it gets pretty rough around mid-day). More pictures of day 1 below...

Sebadoh @ Bowery Ballroom, Aug. 2012 (more by Bryan Buchman)
We knew that there was a new Sebadoh EP on the way, but now we learn that there will be an album too, titled Defend Yourself, which will be out September 17 on Joyful Noise. It will be the band's first new album in 14 years. Lou Barlow chatted a bit about the new album on the Joyful Noise blog:
How did you decide that now was the time to make the next Sebadoh record?Meanwhile, that new five-song EP, Secret, is out June 25 and you can stream the whole thing below.
The touring in support of the Bakesale reissue went very well. We had good chemistry as a 3 piece, Bob & Jake had been playing together for years & along with my 20 year history with Jake, D'Amico's contribution to the lineup was just a good fit. A new record had always been something we knew we would get around to doing & the pieces finally seemed to fall in place. My experience with the Dinosaur Jr. post-reunion albums had shown that it was best to just get on with it, drop any fears of not surpassing the band's earlier work & just make some new songs to play live & share with the people who still care about us.
Are you excited about anything in particular?
I was excited to work with Wally Gagel on the final mixes for my songs, he was my writing partner/producer during the heyday of the Folk Implosion. He & I hadn't worked together for awhile & I liked what he did with Jake's recordings. He also saved my ass by being available when I really needed him.
I'm relieved that we were able to find the time to make a new LP happen & surprised at how well it seems to hang together conceptually. I'm also pleased that we kept to ourselves during the recording & didn't have much, if any, outside intervention. That, to my mind, makes it a true Sebadoh record & aligns the style of Defend Yourself with our early releases.
I used more 4 string guitar on this record than any record since Bakesale. Also, we tuned lower & I reverted back to the downstroke strumming style that I used early on. I made a conscious effort to do what felt the most natural as opposed to trying to streamline the sound as I did with some of the songs on The Sebadoh & Harmacy.
Lou also plays with Dinosaur Jr. on Friday (6/7) at Governor's Ball and the late night afterparty at Irving Plaza (win tickets!) bandmate J. Mascis plays Union Pool on Saturday afternoon (6/8) with his psychedelic blues-jam band Heavy Blanket.

Tickets are still available for Dinosaur Jr., but you can try your hand at winning some, we've got three pair to give away. Details are below. Good luck!
Then on Saturday afternoon (6/8) at Union Pool, Mascis plays again with one of his other bands, the instrumental, psychedelic blues-jamming Heavy Blanket. You can find out just how heavy a blanket can be by streaming a couple tracks below.
The show is part of the BrooklynVegan-presented edition of the venue's free Summer Thunder series (that kicked off last week) and the show also features Love As Laughter. The fun starts at 2 PM and, again, it's free.

As mentioned, DFA 1979 canceled their Governor's Ball appearance, and the afterparty they were to have played with Fucked Up at Irving Plaza on June 7.

There's a Governors Ball presale on Wednesday (5/8) at 10 AM, and Live Nation and Music Geeks presales happening Thursday (5/9) at 10 AM. Music Geeks presale password is "musicgeeks."

Wu-Tang Clan / Father John Misty / Grimes / the crowd @ Coachella, 4/14/2013
As the wind whipped through the final day of Coachella's first weekend, it became clear to those at the front of the stage that the techs getting the stage set up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' festival-closing headlining set had a choice: take down the video screens that clearly were a part of the Peppers' production, or leave them up, risking them blowing uncontrollably around the stage. So they chose the former, leaving behind grandiose production elements in favor of solid -- but not-quite-revelatory -- musicianship.The first weekend of Coachella wrapped up last night (4/14). with sets from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dead Can Dance, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, and Staten Island hiphop legends the Wu-Tang Clan who performed much of their classic 1993 album, Enter The 36 Chambers, as well as solo hits from the different members. Earlier Sunday also saw Grimes' energetic set, noisemakers JEFF the Brotherhood and Dinosaur Jr, the mellow gold of Kurt Vile, Australian psych purveyors Tame Impala, crowd-pleasers Vampire Weekend, Gaslight Anthem, and Father John Misty. Pictures of those acts' sets are in this post.
It's a sort of metaphor for this year's edition of the festival, which never quite hit the watercooler moment. On the final day of the first weekend (the lineup repeats next week), there were no superstar surprises, no Daft Punk appearance and, during the Chili Peppers' set, not even a new song: just a major band, playing through their major hits, for a major audience.
It's been the story of this Coachella from the start, when the two-weekend blowout nearly sold out before the lineup was even announced, but on the field it became immediately obvious: This festival, at least this year, no longer was about "music fans" but about "Coachella fans" -- that is to say, the tens of thousands of revelers who packed the field had no specific allegiance to a band, a genre or an affiliation. - [Hollywood Reporter]
Other acts that played Sunday: Cloud Nothings as a three-piece, Ghost BC (who played too early for our photographer to catch), Jessie Ware (who also made an appearance during Disclosure's set) and San Francisco psych-garage kings Thee Oh Sees, who we also missed but were joined on sleigh bells by fellow Bay Area resident Ty Segall.
Pictures from day 1 are HERE and HERE, pictures from day 2 are HERE. More day 3 Coachella pictures below...

Phoenix's new album, Bankrupt!, is out next month and the French band have been dripping out things to keep us interested until then. (Some of you may have turned the faucet wide open on the LP already.) The band got Dinosaur Jr. to cover their new single "Entertainment," and J Mascis and crew turn it into a stripped-down, bluesy slow jam that might just best the original. You can stream it, along with Phoenix's version, below.

Primavera Sound have announced their 2013 lineup, set to go down on May 22-26 in Barcelona, Spain.

Going to see a Dinosaur Jr. show can be a pummelling experience, sonically. The band are infamously loud and I count a show I saw of theirs in college to basically the start of my tinitus. You can experience this at home, too, or in your car if you turn your stereo up loud enough, as happens to a suburban dad (played by James Urbaniak) in the band's new music video for "Pierce the Morning Rain." Would you say listening to Dinosaur Jr. at dangerously loud levels is like being punched in the face by Henry Rollins? This video argues that case and you can watch it below.
J, Murph and Lou are about to head to Europe for a tour followed by dates in Australia. A list of all dates and that music video are below.

Lou Barlow @ Terminal 5 (more by Gretchen Robinette)
Like Dave Hill, Gretchen Robinette and many of us, The Dinosaur Jr. 'you're living all over me' 25 year celebration show at Terminal 5 was a major highlight of 2012 for Dinosaur Jr.'s own Lou Barlow. He told Pitchfork:
people kept saying 'can you believe it's been 25 years since that record was released??' yes, yes i can.. easily.. so much happened since the release of that record..many bands, more band mates, lotsa fights, lotsa love..children! babies were born in the interim, human children ..so , i -can- believe it ..what REALLY surprised me was Frank Black singing one of the new dinosaur jr tunes ( 'almost there' (? , it really is impossible to figure out the names of J's songs) - the one i like to call the 'birkenstock tune' ) AND dinosaur jr playing a pixies song ('tame') with francis on vocals.. yea.. that part blew me away.. after years of fighting it i am ready to be a pixies fan, i will resist no longer.. he's got a serious set of lungs and learned our song like a proper musician.. much respect.. that ridiculous anniversary show was the #2 highlight of my year..or maybe it was number #1 ..i can't really rate events like this , once my mind is blown it's all equal, if you know what i mean..More pictures and a recap of that show HERE. Lou's full list of three 'Best Moments' of 2012, below....

You are probably familiar with Dave Hill by now. He's the brains behind the book Tasteful Nudes, which was released earlier this year, he performs locally in NYC a good deal, was one of BV's own Klaus Kinski's favorite local comedians this year, and he reviewed Morrissey's Radio City show for us. Oh yeah, and maybe you read his review of Def Leppard, Poison, and Lita Ford?
Dave just gave us his list of his top ten favorite things of 2012. It includes some shows he saw (like the Def Leppard one), a show he didn't see, and his own book. The whole thing (plus commentary) is a pretty great read, and it's below for your viewing pleasure...

"E-ink Tattoos That Change With Your Mood
Uses Safe Sub-dermal Implants!
How many people do you know who regret their tattoo? You grow up, you dump (or get dumped), or maybe you picked a tattoo "artist" who learned his craft in prison using ballpoint pens and a sharpened paper clip. At that point, your choices are: deal with it, get it covered up, or get shot with lasers to take it off. And nobody wants to go for a job interview only to be given the evil eye because you're a little more inked than the current employees! Body modification discrimination is a sad fact of life.
What do you do when you want a tattoo but don't want the commitment of permanent ink? The moodInq system is a breakthrough in tattoo technology, using a skin-safe proprietary E-ink encapsulated pigment system that lasts a lifetime but can be configured to display any design (or none!) to suit your mood.

Additional Location Information
Rodez/Marcillac or Toulouse Airports are all nearby. There are farmer's markets that sell produce and outdoor markets where you will find provençal fabric and gifts, herbs and spices, baskets, small pieces of furniture, pottery etc.
Boulangeries are found in Firmi, Cransac, St. Cyprien and St. Christophe le Vallon. Strangely, there are no shops in Auzits! Fruit and vegetables, charcuterie, meat, cheeses, other basics and flowers are all available in Firmi. The nearest large supermarket is GEANT in Decazeville. Marcillac is the nearest wine-producing region. However, you can find wine everywhere. The nearest shopping is approximately 4 km away - about 7 minutes by car. There are many, many options around the area, from village markets and shops to a supermarket just 15 minutes away - but it all has to be done by car.
Two well known tourist attractions are the village of Belcastel, beautifully situated above the river, and Conques, which is also very picturesque, perched on a hill above the river Dourdou, grouped around the magnificent Romanesque church of Ste Foy. Figeac, less than an hour away, is at the confluence of the Lot and Célé rivers and a pleasant old town to walk around. The Célé flows from there between narrow limestone cliffs dotted with mills and little waterfalls and on through a lovely valley.
Further afield you'll find Najac, which has a truly romantic setting high on a cliff that plummets straight down to the Aveyron river, where a single street of medieval houses leads to the keep of the great fortress castle. Villefranche-de-Rouergue, a delightful 13th century bastide with a central square, which, unusually, has a huge church tower built into the square itself. Beyond Villefranche de Rouergue, you can visit the Abbey of Loc-Dieu, near Martiel, in a region with many dolmens. The small city of Millau is the site for the world's tallest bridge, the viaduc de Millau, opened by President Chirac in December 2004. Between Entraygues and Estaing are some of the loveliest river stretches in France.
There are numerous places to walk or cycle through quiet country lanes and wild, unspoiled countryside. You can water ski on the Lot river at Cajarc or hire canoe/kayaks at bases on either the Lot or the beautiful Célé river and find places to swim and picnic. For those who like to fish, there is a small lake within a short drive and lots of other places on both rivers.
The Peche-Merle cave is a beautiful grotto near Cabaretes with marvellous cave paintings. Further west is St Cirq-la-Popie, an old village high above the left bank of the Lot with narrow streets that climb up to the ancient château and church, where the view is dizzying.

Campfire Potatoes Recipe
We like grilling because it's a no-fuss way to make a meal. This pleasing potato recipe is one we use often! The onion, cheddar cheese and Worscestershire sauce combine to make a super side dish for any grilled meat. Plus, cooking in the foil makes cleanup a breeze. —JoAnn Dettbarn, Brainerd, Minnesota
- 5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Oscar trial: Media descends on PretoriaComment on this story
Pretoria - Media houses descended on Pretoria on Monday morning to cover one of the most talked about murder trials of the year.
Outside the High Court in Pretoria, broadcast vans and marquee tents lined Madiba Street from the early hours of the morning, with local and international journalists preparing for live broadcasts in rainy weather.
Monday is the start of the trial of Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, charged with murdering his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's day in 2013.
The case has generated world-wide attention with hundreds of reporters expected to cover the trial. - Sapa

Township voters approved the 1.25-mill, 5-year tax for road repairs to generate $226,320 a year and cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $35 annually.
Altogether, 1,228 voted in favor of the tax levy, and 1,052 voters opposed it.
This is the second time the township asked the voters to OK the levy. Voters rejected it by 250 votes in November 2013.
"It was for the people that actually worked the hardest for it this time," said Pat Ungaro, township administrator. "I am just thrilled to death with the people in Liberty for supporting it."
Ungaro called the township's roads at this point "exceptionally bad." He hopes to use the funds generated from the levy to match state funds for road resurfacing.
"I am overwhelmed by the people and their confidence in us," Ungaro said. "I am [ready] to get started."
The loss of an inheritance tax and other state funding caused the township to face financial hardship, Ungaro said.
The two liberty school levies also were approved on Tuesday. The 0.9-mill renewal, capital improvements levy was OK'd with 1,239 votes for the tax levy and 1,034 against it. The 3.65-mill renewal general operations levy passed with 1,157 voting for it and 1,111 opposing it.
The operations levy will cost a taxpayer with a $100,000 house about $127.75 a year, and the capital improvements levy will cost the same homeowner about $31.50 a year.
A state commission overseeing the board while it is in fiscal emergency asked the board to consider an additional levy. That hasn't been decided by the board yet.
Mr.Ungaro you have been an elected official long enough, that you should be able to answer this.
As you stated the roads "exceptionally bad."
These roads didn't happen like this in a years time, so why did you allow them to get to this state of disrepair?
As the leader of the township you should have been working on this several years ago.
Also why wasn't any patching done until after the levy was approved? Also why were the employees patching in the rain on Weds morning after the levy passed? Patching in the rain is really going to hold up and it's a great way of showing you care about the taxpayers money!
Were you trying to impress us now you got what you wanted?

Mission Possible! Deep Frying a Turkey Indoors
Julie Haan has spent more than 15 years as a graphic designer, art director, and stylist. "Now I am exploring everything I never had time to enjoy. Food is no longer just a means to feed myself, but is something to experiment with and—of course—make artistic!"
After my experience brining a turkey—yum!—I am on a mission to figure out which method of cooking a turkey produces The Best Tasting Turkey Of All Time! My turkey cooking method has evolved over the years. I told you in the last blog that I was raised on a turkey farm, so I have a lot of experience with turkeys.
My first experience was with what I grew up with—a regular oven. It was good, but a little dry (there's always gravy). But, until I got two ovens, I could not cook the turkey and all the other Thanksgiving fixings at the same time.
Then I moved on to my Nesco Roaster and discovered a wonderful way to cook the perfect turkey—and it freed up my oven for Grandma's famous homemade dinner rolls.
After that, I moved on to brining a turkey and then roasting it in my dependable Nesco. Brining made the perfect turkey even more flavorful and juicy. Brining created The Best Tasting Turkey Of All Time—so far.
Today, I try frying a turkey. I have watched Kevin (my boyfriend and an amazing chef) deep fry a turkey outside in a giant pot with five gallons of oil and a propane burner. Scariest cooking event of my life.
So, I'm going to use the Waring Pro Rotisserie Turkey Fryer/Steamer. You use it inside. It takes only 2.5 gallons of oil. And it is far less scary.
I started with research on how to deep fry a turkey. The Internet has good info on how to be safe while deep frying a turkey, plus video's on what not to do. The Waring Pro also has great instructions—which I followed—and they began with the oil. Only use good quality oil with a smoke point 420 degrees or higher. I used peanut oil (there are no peanut issues in my house). Note: Do not use shortening, olive oil, grapeseed oil, or lard.
The great thing about the Waring Pro is the rotisserie feature. This allows you to use half the oil because the turkey rolls though the hot oil instead of being totally submerged.
The next important thing I learned came from a review of this product on CHEFScatalog.com. Check to make sure your turkey will rotate freely in the machine. The instructions say this fryer will hold up to a 18 pound turkey. (I think that would really be a challenge.) I used a 14 pounder. You must tie the legs and the wings with butcher twine. Legs are easy, but the wings can spread out during cooking. If they do, the rotisserie will not rotate. So, tie the wings down tightly!
Take the turkey and slide the rotisserie spit though the turkey. Place the spit and basket into the fryer and rotate with your hand. My turkey fit!
Take your turkey out after the fitting and fill the fryer with oil to the minimum fill line. Then turn it on to preheat to desired temperature. I set the dial at 350 F. When it is ready the light will change from red to green.
Seasoning my turkey!
Many deep fried turkey recipes call for an injectable marinade. I found a recipe that had beer and hot sauce that sounded interesting, but I created my own. Just mix all the ingredients together. Kevin uses Tony Cachere's Injectables Turkey Marinade – Creole Style Butter. Easy and very good!
Julie's Injectable Turkey Marinade
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 4 ounces light beer
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
I found most turkey deep-fry recipes don't have any seasonings on the outside of the turkey—but I wanted to see what would happened if I used a rub, too. (Note: Using a rub may contaminate your oil, so you may not want to keep it for long after frying your turkey.)
Kevin's Blacking Rub
All measures approximate. Adapt for personal preference.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground basil
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (sea salt is better)
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
I injected the turkey until the skin would not hold anymore. Don't forget the legs. Then I rubbed the turkey with the Blacking Rub and waited for the oil to be hot.
Within a few minutes the light changed to green and we are ready!
Starting the frying process
- Place the rotisserie spit in to the basket.
- Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil. (There are three lowering safety bars inside the fryer to hold the basket. Just grasp the basket handles to release and lower.)
- Turn the rotisserie toggle to on and let your turkey roll.
My 14 pound turkey should be done in 45 to 50 minutes. You can hear the turkey frying and the house smells wonderful. Can't wait!
At 45 minutes I stopped the rotisserie and inserted a meat thermometer. But, the temperature was not up to 165 F inside. Back in the fryer for five minutes! I can wait, I can wait. I can wait.
Five minutes later, I check the temperature again. This time it's perfect—and the turkey is golden brown and crispy!
Now comes "The Hard Part"—letting the turkey sit and cool for 15-20 minutes. Finally, I cut into the breast and remove a piece for tasting. I take a bite and It. Is. Amazing! Juicier than the brined turkey. I make the formal declaration, "This is The Best Tasting Turkey Of All Time!" And, smart man that he is, not so much as an "I told you so" from Kevin.
After this wonderful turkey, I look over at the fryer and realize I have a ton a clean up to do. To my surprise, the basket cleans easily in a little hot water and all the parts remove from the fryer for easy cleaning.
What about getting the oil out of the machine? No problem! A little spigot in the front with a hose (provided) makes oil removal easy.
What's next? Maybe a smoked turkey? Mmmm. Stay tuned!

It's the calm before the storm here at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way.
It's championship Saturday for girls swimming and diving and the Class 2A is the first session of the three-session meet. 3A will be up this afternoon with 4A getting a bit later start at 7 p.m.
Let's talk 2A. We have a ton of Kitsap athletes competing and its North Kitsap that is looking to put together its strongest meet in years. Coming into the meet on Friday, media scribes had pointed out the scoring and had the Vikings finishing third. That won't happen today, but they could still finish among the top 10. NK would need its everyone to swim lights out to gain more points and that can certainly happen.
The Vikings 200 medley relay is in the finals, right now seeded eighth and can only move up. Serita Solis is into the A finals for the 50 free and the 100 butterfly, Isabel Hendryx is in the B finals of the 100 freestyle and the A finals of the 100 backstroke, the Vikings' 200 free relay is in the A finals and Hannah Uffens is in the B finals of the 100 backstroke. Ellie Gallagher is in the B finals of the 100 breast. UPDATE: Vikings finished seventh overall. Hendryx placed fourth in the back while Solis was fourth in the fly and fifth in the 50.
Kitsap's best chance for a state title comes in Kira Crane. The sophomore from Klahowya is seeded second in the 100 freestyle. She's also in the 50 free so who knows if she can pull off the double in the sprints. UPDATE: Crane DQ'd in the 50 (flinched at the start) and was second in the 100.
Kingston's Claudia Velie is looking to give the Buccaneers a medal in the A final of the 100 breaststroke. UPDATE: Velie placed fourth
Olympic's Chloe Partsch is in the A final of the 100 butterfly. UPDATE: She finished seventh.
UPDATE: Bainbridge won the 200 medley relay in a meet record 1:46.72. Candice Rosen finished sixth in the 200 free, Allison Murphy was fifth in the 200 IM and Ani Duni was fourth in the 50 free.
UPDATE: In the 4A, South Kitsap's Aspen Monkhouse finished fifth in the 50 free in 24.75.

Alright!! Now I know why this site is called OKCupid!! It's because people on this site are left standing, asking: "OK CUPID! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO THROW YOUR LITTLE ARROW MY WAY!! HAHA!!"
To really get to know me you have to meet me in person. I don't think you can really get to know someone without listening to there voice and seeing their mannerisms. But, I am a very animated person with a cool sense of humor.
I have been told by all my lady friends that I am a great catch and that they would date me if they were single, but I seem to never meet single women!! I am also a very patient person. Even my own mother says I am patient to a fault sometimes!!
I like Food! Football (Come on 49ers!!), Hockey (Go Sharks!!), Poker.
Oh!! I almost forgot!! My name is Carlos!! :)
I am cool, witty, dorky, and always deep (I love deep conversations!).
