The only way we can keep diseases on the run is to keep science as reality ideology. In other words, get vaccinated. Stupid information off the internet has turned out to be stupid information. Faster.

The usual reason people are poor is they lack a free market economy and all that represents like property rights. Our economy is being restrained by many rules and regulations that are redundant.

Contrast this Op-Ed piece with this news that came out only yesterday in the
DailyMailUK (online)—
"A high-ranking official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared in an interview with PBS that the age of antibiotics has come to an end.
'For a long time, there have been newspaper stories and covers of magazines that talked about "The end of antibiotics, question mark?"' said Dr Arjun Srinivasan. 'Well, now I would say you can change the title to "The end of antibiotics, period."'
The associate director of the CDC sat down with Frontline over the summer for a lengthy interview about the growing problem of antibacterial resistance."
Good news (DesNews op-ed piece) on one hand, horrible news on the other (Daily Telegraph piece). Healthcare wise, this is becoming one of the "best of times, and the worst of times".
One can't but help think that the nearly ubiquitous steady stream of anti-biotics given to animals in our food chain has likely perhaps had as much to do with this as anything.

Hygiene causes diseases in Africa. The US poured in a good chunk of money for
fighting aids over there too. Some behavior by Africans could stop Aids as
Africa has just as many natural resources as other continents. Contiually pouring money in won't help them. Is there a way to teach them self reliance too? I know of some people criticize the industrial world for what it does to the environment. However the industrial countries feed the planet. Thankfully there is not massive drought in Ethiopa anymore. However many people there are starving. Hygiene and behavior can help a lot over there.

Much as the US experienced in the last century, better hygiene, improved diet and immunizations have made infectious diseases (excluding HIV/AIDS) a less important cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa. Some in Utah and elsewhere have a dangerous and naive fascination with "natural immunizations" peddled by hucksters or they have elaborate and spurious reasons why immunizations are harmful. In the meantime, they unknowingly benefit from group immunity which protects themselves and their families. It is a dangerous gamble that can bring tragedy.

We were making progress against malaria in Africa, until DDT was banned. The banners were mostly western folks, who were not themselves affected by malaria. It has recently been reinstated in Africa, but in the meantime hundreds of thousands needlessly died when malaria roared back due to no DDT. Nets are fine, but nets plus DDT is better. Other insecticides also work, but are too expensive for Africans, and DDT is far cheaper. The environmental risks of DDT are still debatable - not as cut and dried as Silent Spring taught us. It is probably good we aren't using it in the USA, but just because we don't need DDT in our country, doesn't mean the Africans don't still need it.

Groton - Tracey and David Beaudet put up a basketball hoop on the side street that runs alongside their house on well-traveled Morse Avenue so their sons would have a safe place to play.
The couple's narrow driveway slopes toward the busier road, so they set up the hoop four years ago on White Street, where they could see the children from the back door.
Then a neighbor complained. Three weeks ago, police told the family to move the hoop because it's on city property, David Beaudet said. Police left notes at the house three times; on the fourth visit, he was home and moved the hoop, he said.
"We had the cops at our house like we were criminals," said Tracey Beaudet. "It was awful." The family has lived in the house for 11 years and has two sons, ages 7 and 11.
Groton City Police Chief Thomas Davoren said the problem stemmed from a neighborhood dispute that police had to mediate.
"We got complaints because kids were playing in the street, basketball was disturbing the neighbor's peace and tranquility, and it turns out the basketball hoop was on city property," he said.
Davoren said he'd hoped the situation could be resolved, but the city had to intervene.
"If we hear of a nuisance, of course we have to respond," he said.
Mayor Marian Galbraith was out of the office Tuesday and Wednesday and could not be reached for comment.
Neighborhood disputes account for about 20 percent of the 100 cases heard each year by Community Mediation Inc., a nonprofit group in Hamden that provides conflict resolution and mediation in the state, said Executive Director Brenda Cavanaugh.
Seemingly trivial issues like barking dogs, bouncing balls or hedges cut along property lines can escalate among neighbors, she said.
The most common neighborhood complaints are about noise, pets and property lines, but other annoyances can also escalate into battles. About three years ago, Community Mediation dealt with a conflict in Branford involving 18 people after police were called to the same street 20 times in two years. The argument started over beach access, Cavanaugh said.
David Beaudet bought the basketball hoop as a birthday gift for his older son. He set it up first in the roadway on White Street before police told him at the time to move it onto the grass. So he did, he said.
Then a neighbor complained that the ball made noise and rolled into the yard, and that the hoop took away easy parking, Beaudet said. Bad feelings simmered for years, then blew up this summer. A homeowner who neighbors said took issue with the hoop declined to be interviewed.
Police didn't disclose who complained.
About three weeks ago, Beaudet came home to find a police officer's note on his front door.
Cindy Garvey, who lives on Morse Avenue across from the family, said she's all for rules, but they should be fairly enforced. Many homes in the city have hoops on the street, she said.
"They should be worrying about other things, like people who speed up this street and go through stop signs, and nothing happens," she said. "It's ridiculous" to send police to a house over a hoop, she said.
"These guys have been there a long time, and it's not like they were playing when it was dark or being disruptive," neighbor Jessica Wilson said.
Tracey Beaudet said she's most upset because she has to worry more with the kids playing basketball in the driveway, because the ball rolls onto Morse Avenue. Everyone complains about kids spending too much time inside playing video games, and hers want to play outside in their own neighborhood, she said.
"It's not fair," she said.

'Miles Ahead' of Traditional Biopic Conventions
tt stern-enzi
0 Comments · Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Miles Ahead, the new film from multi-hyphenate Don Cheadle, captures Miles Davis a little more than a decade from his final days, but there's a very real sense of the fragility, both physically and psychologically, that plagued him toward the end.

Looking to Metal For Help
Investigators try to ID Venom fan, Miles Davis called is an iconic singer and music is not selling so well these days

Investigators are hoping Metal fans can help identify the body of a man discovered 20 years ago wearing a Venom T-shirt, the Miles Davis biopic picks up a distributor, which promptly praises Davis as an "iconic singer" and a recent Disney Channel movie soundtrack sets a new sales low for a No. 1 album on the Billboard chart.

Cincinnati-Filmed 'Miles Ahead' to Premiere at New York Film Festival
The Miles Davis movie, directed by and starring Don Cheadle, will close NYFF Oct. 11
It continues to be a good year for movies shot in Cincinnati. First, Todd Haynes' Carol premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and was so well-received that its distributor, Weinstein Company, has scheduled a December release to showcase it for Oscar consideration. Today, Indiewire is reporting that Miles Ahead, the Don Cheadle-directed movie about Jazz musician Miles Davis' troubled final years, will be the Oct. 11 closing-night showcase for the prestigious 53rd New York Film Festival. The fest is presented by The Film Society of Lincoln Center. Cheadle also plays Davis in the film, shot in Cincinnati last year. The Indiewire story, written by David Canfield, reports that "NYFF Director and Selection Committee Chair Kent Jones said, 'I admire Don's film because of all the intelligent decisions he's made about how to deal with Miles, but I was moved — deeply moved — by Miles Ahead for other reasons. Don knows, as an actor, a writer, a director, and a lover of Miles' music, that intelligent decisions and well-planned strategies only get you so far, that finally it's your own commitment and attention to every moment and every detail that brings a movie to life.'" In the story, Cheadle is quoted as adding, "I am happy that the selection committee saw fit to invite us to the dance. It's very gratifying that all the hard work that went into the making of this film, from every person on the team, has brought us here. Miles' music is all-encompassing, forward-leaning, and expansive. He changed the game time after time, and New York is really where it all took off for him."

I Just Can't Get Enough
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Move over, Vincent Chase! DC Comics' Aquaman will come to life on the big screen in the form of Jason Momoa, aka Game of Thrones' Khal Drogo, aka My Sun and Stars. Aquaman/Momoa was recently added to the cast of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, joining Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) and, of course, Henry Cavill (Superman) and Ben Affleck (Batman) in the 2016 epic comic feature. Just for fun, here's our pre-Thrones and Aquaman Momoa singing in a scene from his Baywatch days. What a voice! I had no idea Jason Momoa was the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies. Miles Ahead filming kicked off Monday. The most recent film to be shot locally stars Don Cheadle as Jazz legend Miles Davis and focuses on the musician's five-year "silent period," leading to his 1969 record In a Silent Way. Ewan McGregor and Michael Stuhlbarg (Boardwalk Empire) also star. Scenes will be filmed in dozens of local locations. Movie crews were seen today in Northside, while I caught Cheadle in a bright blue suit topped with Davis' signature unkempt 'fro filming at Seventh and Elm streets Monday afternoon. Cheadle is making the film with the help of Indiegogo funding. Many of the donation prizes for the film have sold out, but there are still some perks left — for example, for $100 you can catch an advance screening of the film, where The Cheadz (that's my nickname for him now that we're basically friends) will be in attendance. He'll also do a Q&A after the movie. Pretty cool I guess, but in "What are we doing with our lives?" crowdfunding news, this Columbus, Ohio-based potato salad Kickstarter currently has more than $53,000 in pledges. And it's open for 24 more days. It's original goal was $10. If you're confused about how a crowdfunding site relates to picnic side dishes, this description from the project should help:I'm making potato salad. Basically I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet. It's pretty hilarious until you realize the funds raised for this joke of a project could actually pay off your student and car loans and that no joke Kickstarter you could create will ever be as successful. So just give up already. So I know 2002 will soon be calling, asking for its pop culture references back, but this delicious parody/remix of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" via Gizmodo is winning the Internet right now. The headline Millennials have been waiting for is making its rounds on every news site and blog everywhere: Netflix Will Pay You to Watch Netflix. Harry Potter fans will be happy to know author J.K. Rowling has published a new story in the series on her site Pottermore. The new Potter tale catches up with the wizard and his pals in their adulthood. This is Rowling's first Harry-centric piece since publishing the series' final novel seven years ago. New movie trailers to hit the Interwebz: Jimi: All Is by My Side, starring André "3000" Benjamin as Mr. Hendrix; Before I Go To Sleep, with Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong in what sounds like Memento meets 50 First Dates; and Horrible Bosses 2. Because Hollywood.

Miles on Film, ODB WTF and Kendrick vs. GQ

The film about Miles Davis that Don Cheadle has been trying to get made finally gets the green-light (with Cheadle as the Jazz legend), the premiere of a new Ol' Dirty Bastard documentary falls apart in classic ODB style after a cease-and-desist and Kendrick Lamar makes the cover of GQ but cancels a performance at the mag's party due to the cover story's questionable content.
Iron Man 2 (Review)
Robert Downey Jr. is again charming and amusing, but Mickey Rourke's presence is mostly wasted
Steve Rosen
0 Comments · Thursday, May 6, 2010
Director Jon Favreau and writer Justin Theroux deserve credit for trying to infuse the sequel to 2008's 'Iron Man' with equal parts pleasure, wit, intelligence, silliness, self-awareness and steely action-movie grit. In other words, Favreau tries to make it a worthwhile vehicle for the acting ability of his star, Robert Downey Jr., succeeding enough to make this enjoyable by the standards of summer-movie comic-book adaptations/sequels. Grade: B-.

Chuck Carree - Inductees made mark here – and way beyond
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
Since 1978, I have written several pieces on this year's Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame inductees Kenny Gattison and Glenn Sasser, but little on the others – Maggie Will and the late Thell Overman.
Fortunately for all of us, one GWSHOF board member – Joe Miller, a retired New Hanover High School coach and county athletic director – has crossed paths with all four during his career.
The four will be honored during a sold-out ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Burney Center. The event will be preceded by a golf tournament Saturday in Brunswick County.
Will grew up in Whiteville and played on the high school boys golf team because the sport was not offered to girls.
In 1983, Miller, subbing for the coach, carried a group of New Hanover Wildcats golfers to Whiteville for a tournament.
"I think she whipped everybody's butts as the medalist and was the only girl,'' Miller recalled.
Following a stellar career at Furman University, Will won three LPGA tour events and has been University of Richmond women's golf coach since 2012.
Miller also met Overman, a legendary Wallace-Rose Hill coach. As a three-sport coach, Overman retired with 1,087 wins.
He died at age 83 in 2000.
Miller remembers being captivated by a 2½-hour conversation with Overman about legendary Wildcats coach and county athletic director Leon Brogden. Overman and Brogden are among the founding fathers of the N.C. Athletic Directors Association.
"Coach Overman was a typically classy Southern gentleman and I enjoyed getting to know him,'' Miller said.
Like me, Miller knows Gattison and Sasser better,
Gattison, a 1982 New Hanover graduate and former NBA player and NBA assistant, excelled in football for Miller and on the hardwood under two coaches.
Miller still teases Gattison on being the Wildcats' third-best basketball player behind Rondro Boney and Ronald Jones.
"Gatt laughs about that, but that was a special team because it lost one game his senior year in basketball and one in football, both to Terry Sanford,'' Miller said.
For a while, Miller was upset when Gattison, a tight end, turned down football scholarships to Notre Dame and South Carolina, opting for basketball at Old Dominion, where he won Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year.
"I was mad at him when he said he was going to Old Dominion, but it worked out for him,'' Miller said.
Sasser's selection is the most riveting. He is worthy of induction based on winning one world and two national titles in masters track and field in the shot put.
He also could have gone in as a football coach after winning State Coach of the Year at Charlotte Myers Park and directing South Brunswick to a conference title or as offensive coordinator for New Hanover's nationally ranked teams in 1991-92 with Trot Nixon.
Sasser also had the idea to start a football jamboree to create interest in surrounding counties after scouting at a jamboree while at Myers Park.
"Glenn could have gotten into our hall of fame alone on the jamboree,'' Miller said.

Sep 2015 - $6.00
You just can't beat a shaded, gravel, 30A electric site with no visible neighbors, a potable water faucet (threaded!) within hose distance, and a sanitary dump for $5.50/night with a Federal Senior Pass! If this campground were in Durango or Aspen, Colorado, the U.S. Forest Service would charge $30-40/night and it would be full every night. So there's a little train noise--we use ear plugs and a small electric fan to take care of that problem. - fanrgs
Aug 2013 - $11.00
So, it's near a railroad, but it's not noisy. The sites are private, lots of big, mature trees, well marked paths, clean bathrooms, with showers. I camped right on the river, so there were some frogs talking. The neighbors had four wheelers as did other denizens of the park, but they were very quite after dark, so no worries there. I had a great stay and will return. - BwanaPC
Aug 2011 - $10.00
This Forest Service campground offers senior pass discounts, so our rate was $5.50 a night with a $9 "transaction fee" for a reservation. This campground is a mecca for 4 wheelers, so be prepared for a constant din of 4 wheelers zooming through the campground. The sites are highly variable, with some not at all suitable for motorhomes, but others paved and level. Electricity is available at some sites, and some sites are held for reservations while others are first come, first serve. The toilets and showers were clean and enjoyable, as one had a toilet and shower to oneself. There are about 50 BNSF trains that come by the park each day, long coal trains eastbound and empties westbound. Train fans will be happy to be so close to the trains, but others may be put off by the train horns as it crosses the park road day and night. Sites are dry camping or electric only, with a dump station and water loading station available. We enjoyed our stay for a couple of nights and would camp here again when in the area. - Jay Rutherford

As the line of people stretched down the sidewalk and into the parking lot of the Salvation Army's William Booth Center, Robin MacDonald...
As the line of people stretched down the sidewalk and into the parking lot of the Salvation Army's William Booth Center, Robin MacDonald took a breather in the bustling, steamy kitchen where volunteers were filling paper plates with turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes.
MacDonald, 55, didn't want to talk about what happened last year, didn't want to discuss how he became homeless.
"I came out of a bad situation," is all he would say.
But no matter: MacDonald "is a success story," said John McDonough, the Salvation Army's shelter manager everyone calls Captain.

For eight months, MacDonald lived in the center's dorm-style homeless shelter on Maynard Avenue South in Seattle's Chinatown International District. But on Tuesday, he moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Federal Way.
He doesn't have any furniture yet and sleeps on the floor, wrapped in a quilt. And while it's a little strange, being alone after spending so much time in the company of 150 other men, MacDonald says he's blessed.
"I don't like being on the streets," he said. It's stressful, he said, "not being stable, not knowing where the next meal is going to be."
Now that he's found a bit of stability, thanks to McDonough and a Salvation Army caseworker, MacDonald wanted to help others who still struggle to fill their bellies. He was among an army of volunteers who cooked a Thanksgiving feast for roughly 500 people, all of them homeless or working poor.
"I don't like to see anybody go hungry," said MacDonald, a former Army cook who also did a stint cooking for a traveling carnival. "It's important to me because I've been there, done that. I know what it's like to be hungry."
There was plenty of food Thursday: 88 turkeys were served, along with 10 gallons of gravy, 75 pounds of instant mashed potatoes, 75 pounds of green beans, 120 pounds of stuffing and 712 slices of pie.
If you wanted a second helping or even a to-go plate for later, you got it. Volunteers also handed out socks, blankets and stocking caps to help the mostly male crowd stay a little warmer through winter's dark, chilly nights.
"I think the Salvation Army is one of those organizations that gives a huge amount back to the community," said Seattle police Chief Gil Kerlikowske, who — for his eighth year in a row — served sliced turkey from an aluminum pan onto plates that were then whisked into the crowded dining room.
"People are treated with such respect and gentleness when they come in here," he said.
While most of the diners didn't want to be interviewed, Brian Larcey was blunt about being newly homeless. He said he was kicked out of his apartment last week over a domestic-violence complaint — unfounded, he says — filed against him by an ex-girlfriend.
"It's a struggle," said Larcey, 57, his belongings packed into two plastic shopping bags. "It just snowballs on you, it steamrolls you. I'm trying to fight, but it's not easy. It's a vicious cycle, and I'm hoping it changes for me and everyone else here."
Change is possible, said McDonough, the shelter manager who is also the center's head chef. He's seen it happen, men who arrive fearful and defensive but who, over time, "open up like a flower and blossom."
"It makes me feel good, to contribute something to them," McDonough said. By saying, "come in the door and have some dinner, you're sharing some of yourself with your fellow man."

The countrys VSAT, teleport and DTH companies, which use satellite-based communication systems, have questioned the unrealistic target and the intention of the department of space (DoS) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to meet the steep shortfall in satellite capacity through foreign operators. The domestic operators have accused the DoS and Isro of favouring foreign operators over Indian companies keen on launching indigenous satellite systems.
The protest from home-grown communication companies comes against the backdrop of what they say is Isros failure to meet its target of providing 500 transponders in the 11th Plan period (2007-12) and also increasing it to around 800 transponders in the 12th Plan period (2012-17), without opening up the sector. Between 2007-12, Isro operationalised only 187 transponders on its satellite system.
Home-grown satellite firm JupiterSat, a company promoted by Hughes Network Systems, wants the Prime Ministers Office (PMO), DoS and the science & technology ministry to intervene as its three-year-old application to set up an Indian satellite system, Surya, has been ignored by Isro. Instead, Isro has now floated an expression of interest (EoI) inviting global players to set up a satellite in the Ka-band (broadband) and Ku-band (DTH). This comes after Isro failed to meet the target of providing 500 transponders under 11th Plan (less than 150 got operational).
For the 12th Plan period, the DoS has kept a target of offering 800 transponders.
Sources said JupiterSat through its promoter company has had a series of correspondence with the DoS, the PMO and the science and technology ministry, requesting clarity on its proposal. The company has argued that inviting foreign satellite companies to meet the demand of the Indian operators is a regressive step when an indigenous project for establishment of an Indian satellite system has been held up for almost three years.
Hughes Network Systems India president Pranav Roach said: Yes, we have been writing letters to all departments looking after the policy and implementation of space programmes. All we get to hear is please wait or bear with us but no clarity is provided as to why the proposal has been overlooked.
Sources in Isro, however, said while the proposal from JupiterSat has been under consideration as per the SatCom Policy of 2000 and many fundamental aspects of satellite communications such as pricing of Insat transponder capacity, allotment rationale among others have been under discussion. When allotment rationale of smaller capacities such as part of one transponder or multiple transponders is under deliberation, the matter related to processing the application for a full satellite cannot be viewed in isolation, an Isro official said.
Similarly, both the industry bodies VSAT Service Providers Association and the DTH Operators Association have also been writing to the DoS and Isro asking for an open sky policy and the freedom to engage the services of any foreign satellite company without the lengthy and time-consuming bureaucratic process. As reported by FE recently, even the broadcast and telecom sector regulator has written to Isro batting for an open sky policy in order to help the growth of the sector, which is facing acute spectrum shortage. The six private DTH operators require around 40-45 Ku-band transponders over the next five to seven years to meet the growing demand. On the licensing side, the I&B ministry has already granted permission to over 840 TV channels for uplinking and downlinking.
However, Isros plans include launching 14 communication satellites by 2017, including high-power S-band satellites for mobile communications and a new-generation geo-imaging satellite, aimed at increasing the transponder capacity and introducing new-generation broadband VSAT systems and Ka-band systems.

I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I founded The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.View all articles by Scott Adams
1 cup chick pea flour
1/3 cup water
2 Tbs. arrowroot powder
1 Tbs. light, cold-pressed oil
Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients well. Roll into 1 balls and pat flat. With a rolling pin, roll out pastry-like rounds. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan until very hot. Reduce heat to medium
Chipatis may be eaten hot from the pan, or cold, or lightly toasted. They are wonderful with rice or Indian foods, and they make a good bread substitute for sandwiches. This recipe makes 8-10 chipatis.
As always, Celiac.com welcomes your comments (see below).

"The ride a long was an experience of a lifetime. Never have I had such an adrenaline rush. Something I will never forget."
"Great time with the Richard Petty Ride Along experience. Wish it would have lasted two more laps. The staff was very friendly . "
"Very Cool! From start to finish, the experience was very organized. The photographer missed taking a picture of me, but they put me back in a suit and back in my car for a picture. Total RUSH getting in the race car and pulling out onto the track. Next time, I want to drive!"

|Key Info
A winner of ITV's "May the Best House Win" , Le Pichet is a lovingly renovated, tastefully furnished home in a tranquil mountain hamlet at 800m above sea-level, nestling on the slopes of a wooded ridge beneath the Chateau de Mirabat, built by Charlemagne for its commanding views south towards the Spanish border. Le Pichet and its garden are west-facing, offering stunning mountain views and fabulous sunsets.
The house comfortably accommodates 7 people with reduced price options for 4 and 2 outside peak holiday periods- the prices published here are for the maximum number of people but please note that due due to recent changes wth the holidaylettngs advertsng system the reduced prices can no longer be publshed here, so please do not hesitate to contact us for details. The setting s superb for walking, cyclng ( we are n the middle of some of the Tour de France's most formidable cols, but there are plenty of gentler opportuntes!) ski-ing at Guzet (25k away), canoe/kayak and riding, and is ideally placed for exploring the cultural and historical wealth of the Ariege and Midi Pyrenees in general. We also offer painting/sculpture tuition and exclusive full board painting/sculpting holidays.
Leaving the Garbet (Valley of the Montreurs d'Ours) between Oust and Ercé, you follow a lane which twists and turns, always climbing, to its end – and there is Miramont, a little paradise on earth overlooking the Bassin d'Oust. Formerly devoted to agriculture, the hamlet consists today of eleven pretty, well-renovated barns and houses, where you will be sure of peace and quiet. As Miramont is situated at the end of the lane, there is no through traffic except for the occasional car going to a couple of houses further up the hamlet. Almost all of the houses are French-owned "maisons secondaires"; Miramont is an incredibly friendly little community but this in no way impinges on the privacy of individual properties.
It is impossible to do justice to this beautiful area, its changing seasons, and the wealth of activities and attractions it offers, within the photographs provided here; so please do contact us if you would like further ones relevent to any aspect of your stay.

"Le Pichet" is built, as are many houses in the region, partly into the hillside. It adjoins "La Carrette", the former farmhouse which we now also own. Lovingly restored over the past 20 years it retains as many of the original features as possible - the "pas de oiseaux" originally built for thatching purposes, and the beams of the old roof structure. It is tastefully and comfortably furnished, largely in oak, and Rodney's sculptures and paintings, together with Eleri's embroideries provide a personal and homely touch.
The house benefits from superb light, particularly in the afternoons and evenings in the downstairs dining room and upstairs rooms. The ground floor consists of a spacious dining room, bathroom and well equipped kitchen; a lovely oak staircase leads to the first floor consisting of two charming bedrooms and a light, high-ceilinged and spacious living room which can also serve as a bedroom if you wish.
Downstairs, a sofa, dresser, and log burner combine with the dining furniture to give a homely ambience to the dining room; the kitchen, in addition to its oven, microwave and fridge-freezer, has a food-mixer, juicer, raclette and fondue ( the region boasts an incredible number of wonderful cheeses.) The bathroom is a pleasant room for a relaxing bath -its attractive blue tiling is light and clear in summer, warm in winter. Upstairs, the lounge/extra bedroom contains sofa, armchair, canapé gigogne (which converts to 2 comfortable single beds-please note this is not a clic-clac but a traditional piece of French furniture) and a well stocked bookcase, both English and French. A large number of maps, walking guides and local information is also at your disposal. To one side of this, a delightful chalet style bedroom contains one double bed, cupboards and shelving; to the other a larger, beamed bedroom contains one double and one single bed, wardrobe and shelving. Up to 4 people can be accommodated at a reduced rate (generally £150-£250 less than the prices published here)in the chalet bedroom and living/bedroom, so please do ask if ths option is of interest..The second bedroom is in fact part of our adjoining house nextdoor, which we can offer or not depending on your requirements and budget... These rooms all look beyond the garden to the valley between Miramont and the pretty hamlet of Arrous, the wooded ridge of the Mirabat and beyond to the Col de la Core and the slopes of Mt.Valier - at dawn bathed pink in the early light of sunrise, with the smoke curling up from the chimneys of Arrous, and only the sound of birdsong, the stream gurgling below and cowbells. On a clear night, the sky scattered with a million sparkling stars is pure enchantment.
(Whilst being on several levels adds to the inherent charm of "le Pichet", it does mean that the house is not suitable for wheelchairs- in addition to the main staircase, there are gentle steps leading from the dining room to the kitchen on the ground floor, and upstairs between the lounge and the chalet bedroom.)
For further information about the property, the area, our painting/ sculpting courses, walking possibilities, please do contact us- we will be delighted to help.
|Further details outdoors
The lovely west-facing garden is an idyllic place to relax and enjoy the view, with stunning sunsets over the mountains. Planted with roses, honeysuckle and clematis, it is a magical spot in all seasons; you are most welcome to use its abundant herbs in your cooking, and help yourselves to raspberries, rhubarb and salad when available. There is a shaded paved area ideal for preparing and enjoying your barbecue. Miramont has communal parking.
Please note, if you are coming with children, that the garden is not enclosed, however the hamlet is remarkably untroubled by traffic and children can also play in security in the meadows, woods and lane nearby. Neither can we boast a manicured lawn- this is a mountain hamlet and the surface is, inevitably, a little uneven.
|Further details
Wood, electicity, taxe de sejour are included; sheets & towels, (£15 per person per week) and final cleaning (£50 for the 2 bedroom option, £40 for 1 bedroom ) are an extra.
Payment is made via the holiday-lettings booking system. A deposit of 25% will be charged on reservation, the balance to be paid 6 weeks before arrival. The damage deposit is requested by Holidaylettings at the same time as the balance and will be refunded after your stay.
During very high and high seasons, changeover day is Saturday, minimum stay 1 week . During mid and low seasons, weekend, short stays, and durations other than a week are very welcome and changeover day is flexible, so please let us know if you have special requirements. Please do contact us for further information and rates for shorter stays.
Arrival is 16.00h -19.00h; if later please contact us so that we can make arrangements to welcome you accordingly.
Departure time is 10.00h.
We try to ensure that we will be here to welcome you personally to"Le Pichet" and to be available to answer any questions you may have during your stay. However, due to commitments elsewhere there are inevitably times when we cannot do so, and in these instances we have an excellent couple who live in nearby Seix who will welcome you here on our behalf, and help and advise you if required, so you will be in very good hands.
The Haut Couserans is a geographically small area at the southern end of Ariege, bordering on Spain. Ariege itself is part of the huge administrative region of Midi Pyrenees which stretches far from here to the department of Lot in the North, and which is far too diverse to describe in its entirety here.
Miramont means "look up", and from our garden you do, for your eye is irresistably drawn to the ridge on which stand the proud ruins of Charlemagne's Chateau de Mirabat. This itself means " look below",and again you do, from its heights to the valleys far below down which came the invading Moors…..............
With its majestic peaks soaring to the Spanish border (some of the wildest, most remote and unspoilt scenery of the Pyrenees) , and the gentler beauty of its lower wooded valleys and pastures, the Haut-Couserans of the Ariege- Pyrenees remains arguably one of France's best-kept secrets- a little-discovered, unspoilt gem tucked far away from the stresses of modern-day life. These 18 valleys converging on St Girons have a rich and varied heritage of which the locals are fiercely and justly proud. , and here you will find Miramont, a tiny hamlet nestling on the slopes overlooking the beautiful Garbet Valley.
Despite its unspoilt nature, the area is nevertheless very accessible, at 1h30 from Toulouse, and 2h from Lourdes and Carcassonne airports; and at 20k from St Girons it is within easy reach of the major road networks linking with the wealth of historic and cultural diversity of the department of Ariege and the wider Midi-Pyrenees in general.
Miramont is ideally placed for you to explore wherever your fancy takes you, whether this be in the form of the superb outdoor activities available, or a more leisurely excursions around sites of historical and cultural interest.
Walking is superb whatever your level, (we are close to the GR10, GR pays, Chemin de la Liberté and numerous walks to the Spanish border)and for those interested in the abundant and beautiful flowers and wildlife of the Ariege or its history, we can put you in touch with local specialists (we have several books on the subjects and there is a wonderful museum in St. Girons devoted to "Le Chemin de la Lberté)
Cycling?VTT - although this area provides some of the most challenging climbs of the Tour de France, it is also possible to find gentler routes along the valley bottoms- but you cannot get very far before encountering a hill! Mountain biking is becoming increasingly popular, with a number of new trails being opened up both in the Couserans and in the neighbouring area of Volvestre (about 30mins drive from St Girons)
Riding-there is an excellent Centre Equestre nearby, catering for beginners to dressage level, as well as wonderful hacking.
Watersports canoei/kayal/rafting in the Salat above Seix- the river sometimes hosts qualifiers for the French National Championships.
Lake and river angling in the Garbet, Ustou Arac and Salat valleys; and the Lacs de Bethmale and de L'Hers. Permits are very reasonable and can be bought online or at the local office de tourisme.
Skiing at the family-oriented resort of Guzet-Neige., the prettiest in the Pyrenees. Do not be taken in by it's relatively small size- its 40k of pistes contains a huge variety from the beginners secteur at Prat Mataou to the challenging blacks ( the most difficult in the Pyrenees) of the Freychet sector. There is a huge amount of off-piste, and a good snow park. Prices are reasonable compared to the Alps, we have an excellent ESF (with small class sizes) - and very few queues!
"Golf de l'Ariege" is about 1h's drive away.
Geology /culture/history and astronomy.
You can take a boat trip through some phenomenal underground caverns at the Riviere Souterraine de Labouiche near Foix. Beautiful Gallo-Roman St Lizier adjoining St Girons is a UNESCO site, while medieval Foix and its chateau is 1hr away. Numerous Cathar castles, the world-famous Grottes de Lombrives/Niaux and Tarascon's park of prehistoric art are all within a 2h radius, as are the Observatory of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre (now accessible by cable car), Lourdes, Carcassonne and of course Toulouse, "La ville rose"
It is impossible to do justice to this beautiful area, its changing seasons, and the wealth of activities and attractions it offers, within the photographs provided; so please do contact us if you would like further ones, whether of different activities, different seasons, or "Le Pichet" itself and its immediate surroundings.
Locally, the pretty villages of Oust and Seix supply all needs. Both have small but well-stocked supermarkets, and we can particularly recommend the butchers in Oust and the bakers in both places. For those wishing to eat out, there is an excellent selection of restaurants specialising in regional cuisine - among which the "Bar du Garbet" in Oust is outstanding. The town of St.Girons, with a large selection of shops, supermarkets and restaurants, not to mention a gloriously colourful Saturday market, is 20k away.
The region excels in local cheeses and meats- in summer you can visit cheese-making demonstrations in the beautiful Bethmale valley, and in the Salat Valley children can enjoy watching donkeys being milked to produce the soap "lait d'anesse". Donkey hire is also available above Seix, and several local centres offer days or longer periods on horseback in the mountains.
Most attractions for children open at Easter through until the Toussaint holidays in late October/early November; and summer is obviously the season for festivities.
The transhumance (movement of animals to the high pastures) takes place on 3 consecutive weekends during late May/early June in 3 separate valleys- Massat, Biros/Bethnmale and Salat.. You can follow on foot, by car, bike or on horseback, and will be warmly welcomed - but please note that this is part of the agricultural life of the area, not a spectacle put on specifically for tourists.
The Tour de France passes close by every year during early July and we are placed right in the middle of some of its most notable Cols. This year -2015- it will come from Castillon over the Col-de la Core and down into Seix on 16th July (last time they hurtled through its narrow streets all the church bells were ringing, and the atmosphere was fantastic), before heading over to Massat.
August is a wonderfully colourful month- "Autrefois le Couserans" - a display of traditional agricultural customs- is a particularly joyous weekend festival in St Girons; The town also hosts "Le Festival de la Musique et des Danses", and "St Girons en fete" , wihich ends with a truly remarkable display of fireworks; St Lizier is the setting for " Les Nuits Gallo-Romains" and Foix the week-long festival-cum-son-et lumiere "Il y etait une fois...."
Everywhere villages are "en fete" and "Marchés Nocturnes abound; even small communities such as Oust and Seix put on wonderful displays of fireworks. There is a superb series of concerts in the beautiful Cathedral of St Lizier; and for those willing to travel further, the Cathedral of St Bertrand de Comminges. More energetically,you can take part in the Punjada- an annual shared French/Spanish picnic at the Port de Salau on on the Spanish border - the views are worth the 4 hour walk!
In winter, sporting activities are dominated by ski-ing at Guzet Neige. This family-orientated resort, known as the prettiest in the Pyrenees, contains a huge variety within its 40k of pistes- from the beginners area at Prat Matou through to the blacks on the Freychet secteur- the most difficult blacks in the Pyrenees. The off- piste is also excellent, there is a very good snow park, and a first-class ESF.

 Positional Value Pyramid Tier 5 Part 1
 No. 2 Receiver, 3-4 End, Weakside Linebacker

Updated June 30, 2010
In our first four tiers we broke down the positions I feel like are the most valuable in the NFL. Now, we are getting to Tier 5. These positions are important, but they simply don't bring as much value to the table as others previously analyzed.
There are seven positions in Tier 5. I'll break down the first three in Part 1, then the remaining four in Part 2.
To kick off Tier 5, we are going to analyze the No. 2 Wide Receiver.
No. 2 Wide Receiver Positional Analysis
: The No. 1 receiver finds ways to make clutch plays where his team can depend on him, but he also can make extremely explosive plays. Whether it is dominating a jump ball, maximizing the yards after the catch, or getting separation in critical moments, the No. 1 receiver is one of his team's most important players.
What separates the No. 1 receiver from the No. 2 receiver I feel like is my previous sentence. The No. 2 receiver is generally thought to be more of a possession receiver. He is very reliable, runs good routes and has consistent hands. If you have a No. 2 receiver who doesn't catch the football consistently, then your offense will simply struggle to move the chains in the passing game.
However, the No. 2 receiver isn't expected to make a jaw-dropping reception every game. He generally lacks the explosive speed to eat up an off-man cushion and separate. The No. 2 receiver might be a solid weapon in the end zone, but he won't keep cornerbacks up at night when they are thinking about how to defend the fade route on their own 12-yard line.
The No. 2 receiver is very important, but you can get by with having a good, not great player at this position and still have a highly productive offense.
Scarcity - 2
: No. 2 receivers aren't impossible to find, but they aren't easy to secure either. This grade is somewhere between a "low 2" and a "mid 2."
Effectiveness - 2
: No. 2 receivers can occasionally make a big play and the word that should define this player is "reliable." No. 2 receivers are often a major catalyst on third down for a quarterback because if the No. 1 receiver isn't open (or the play is called for the No. 2), then somebody needs to make a play, get open and catch the football.
Money - 2
: To me, Hines Ward is the prototypical No. 2 receiver even though he has been Pittsburgh's No. 1 for much of his career. He has amazing hands, he's tough, he's clutch, and he gets open. He lacks explosive playmaking skills. Ward was given a contract in excess of $5 million per year at the age of 33 in 2009. Solid money for good No. 2 receivers, but they aren't grossly expensive.
Durability - 2
: A very good No. 2 receiver can have a productive career into his mid-30s, but they generally can't last into their late 30s.
Our next position in Tier 5 is the 3-4 defensive end, otherwise known as "5-technique" to signal his position on the defensive line.
3-4 Defensive End Positional Analysis
: This position varies by scheme in how it is utilized. In some 3-4 defenses, the 5-technique (or "5-tech") is expected to simply eat up blockers and allow the linebackers to make plays (the Ravens use this strategy). In other schemes, the defensive coordinator might want the 5-technique to play a prominent role as a pass rusher (Dallas Cowboys).
Size is extremely important for this position. The prototype should be 6-5 and around 295-315 pounds. Size is a big deal for this position because he has to be able to hold his ground against the massive offensive tackles in the NFL, and he often occupies double teams.
One critical element 3-4 defensive ends need to have is quick, active hands to be able to shed blockers.
The 5-tech plays a huge role for his team in run defense, as well as psychologically because if you are the tougher, more physical team in the trenches then it gives your team a major edge in the football game especially on defense.
Scarcity - 1
: It really isn't difficult at all to find this position, though I would say this is a "high 1" on the grading scale. You can often find 5-techs who were simply out of position in a previous scheme, but they are big with good hands. In the draft, we are starting to see plenty of huge defensive linemen who can play this position.
Effectiveness - 2
: In the 3-4 defense, the 5-tech holds his ground on the line of scrimmage and his prominent role is to stop the run. If you don't have ends that can stop the run in the 3-4, then you are going to lose a lot of games - unless you play in the AFC West.
Money - 2
: This position gets paid a relatively average wage.
Durability - 2
: This position has solid, but not great durability.
The last position in Tier 5, Part 1 we will analyze is the 4-3 weakside linebacker, otherwise known as the "WILL."
4-3 Weakside Linebacker Positional Analysis
: I am going to focus on how this position is used primarily in the Tampa-2 scheme because there are so many variations of the 4-3 defense and the corresponding outside linebacker responsibilities.
In most schemes, the WILL is expected to be the playmaker of the linebacking corps. He is asked to cover the most ground, and therefore needs to be the most athletic of all three linebackers in the 4-3. He needs to be able to drop in coverage and cover tight ends - range is extremely important with the WILL.
The WILL needs to be able to have plenty of speed because he has to chase down ball-carriers and eliminate space.
The prototype for this position is Derrick Brooks when he was in his prime with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was a sure tackler, had phenomenal range, showed discipline and made plays in coverage.
Scarcity - 2
: Because nearly half the NFL uses the 3-4 defense, there are more WILL linebackers to go around than ever before. However, it is still somewhat difficult to find an elite player at this position in the NFL Draft because of so many responsibilities that comes with the position. It requires a rare skill set.
Effectiveness - 2
: The WILL is the playmaker of the linebacking corps and covers the most ground. If you have a weak link at this position, then a quarterback can have a field day if he knows how to audible and create mismatches.
Money - 2
: This position has an average salary.
Durability - 2
: Derrick Brooks' career really went downhill around three years ago for Tampa because of a loss of speed. You simply can't maintain the speed this position requires into your mid-to-late 30s.

Respond to Review of Nourish - Wicklow Street
by Stevie
Review: This place is a centrally located health food shop very close to Grafton St. It is also about 3 doors along from Cornucopia Cafe. It has a decent enough choice and very usefully it is open on Sundays. It is vegan vegetarian friendly
