Analog zine
My current passion is an alternative photographic process called Polaroid transfers. Each transfer is hand-made by the photographer using specific materials and equipment to achieve a desired effect. A transparency is projected on to professional Polaroid print film and as development begins, the print and chemicals are prematurely separated. The image is transferred on to dampened watercolor paper for a unique image which has a dated, artistic photo-painting appearance. Exposure, pressure, time, paper and other variables make each print an original mono-print.
I double exposed sheet music with a slide of my piano to make this print.

China Cha DaoEdit Company
Popular Teas from China Cha DaoSee All 58 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
2nd steep. 30s, boiling water. Now I detect the aroma of spinach in the leaf. The brown is gone – all green now. There is a slight film on top the cup. The flavor is more even, pronounced, and complex. Still very smooth with a heavy dose of earthiness. No grass. No bitterness.
The first of five samples provided by China Cha Dao. Ok, I am going to do my typical American thing while brewing, but I will compromise on the steeping times. I am using a healthy spoonful of leaf in my press and a 10oz mug. The dry cake smells slightly grassy. Did a 10s rinse with boiling water. The wiry looking dry leaf immediately started coming to life. Let it rest a moment then did my first 30s steep with boiling water. The steeped leaf varies from brown to bright green. The smell of the leaf is rich and earthy. The brew itself doesn't have a detectable scent. The cup is a light amber color. The sip is thick almost syrupy. There is a heavy earthiness that rises quickly and just as quickly passes. I detect no grassiness and no bitterness in the first cup. I have a cheap cooked version (by another seller) of this tea that I have to mask its' overwhelming flavor with chocolate mint. This is slightly pungent but I did not feel the need to mask or add anything to this tea. I am a newbie at puerh so I can't tell you if this is good or bad. I can only tell you I liked it. Also note that the cheap version with mint is one of my favorite everyday teas – so after I road test this on its own merits I will add mint to it and see if I have a new favorite. I am going to list the rest of my steeps separately.
This is my second review in a series of six samples from China Cha Dao
Experience buying from China Cha Dao: I responded to an offer on Steepster for free samples. Received exactly what was stated in the offer: fresh tea and very generous sample sizes. On their website on eBay they have a good variety of tea for reasonable prices.
Age of leaf: Stated as harvested in 2011. Received in mid-summer, brewed in very early fall 2011.
Packaging: small, clear bags with small label printed with the full name of the tea.
Dry leaf: similar roasted aroma to the Da Hong Pao I sampled previously, but not quite as strong; long, slender, dark brown leaves.
Brewing guidelines: four 8-oz cups of water used, leaves loose in glass Bodum pot. Stevia added. (I tried to keep the following guidelines as consistent as I could throughout the series)
…………….1st : 195, 2'
…………….2nd: 195, 3'
…………….3rd: 190, 5' (mild flavor, so no forth attempted)
Aroma: very mild, fresh and pleasant fragrance.
Color of liquor: light amber color.
Wet leaf: aroma is intense, almost harsh, but they also have a tiny hint of caramel? Leaves are dark green with a few small brown leaves here and there. Otherwise same appearance as the Da Hong Pao: lots of large leaves with a fair amount of smallish pieces that look chopped and a few stems. For this oolong, most of the leaves were on the bottom at the end of the first steeping, and all were on the bottom for the remaining steepings.
Flavor: tastes like most oolongs I have had, with a roasted flavor—-like coffee—-but much milder than the Da Hong Pao. A little more pleasant once it cooled a bit. On the second steeping, not as harsh, and not as coffee-like. I'm not certain, but it seems I am picking up a very faint hint of something fruity in the after-taste.
Value: Free 10-gram sample (Thank you Jerry Ma @ China Cha Dao tea on Ebay!). His regular tea is very reasonably priced, I judge ($7/125grams).
Overall (I consider myself a newbie when it comes to oolongs) This on was not as interesting as the Da Hong Pao, but it was still an enjoyable oolong. I tried it chilled, mixed with some chilled passion fruit flavored black tea: the combination was quite interesting! This tea is not something I would buy and brew up, but I don't mind drinking it.
While these arrived at my house a few weeks ago, I have finally gotten them here at school. I love oolongs and so far my only other experience with Wuyi is the one I get from the bulk teas at Wegmans. The smell is a nice roasted nuttiness that just errs on being burnt. The taste is much like the smell but smoother and mellows during further steeps. It has a few sweetish notes coming out to play in later steeps as well.
Still working on stat (Linear regression can be really time consuming, especially when you keep getting distracted by stuff…), but my other tea gave up the ghost, so I threw some of this in a cup, and proceeded to to brew it grandpa style. See previous notes for details.
Usually I start off a review of Qi Lan by commenting on the wonderful aroma. Unfortunately, I am still congested, so this is an exercise in futility. Regardless of my inability to smell anything, this was a very nice session with this tea. The lightly-roasted flavors were interesting, and were nicely complemented by the light honey flavors. One thing that was a bit odd was that the aftertaste was very muted, and the distinct mineral taste of a Wuyi Oolong was very hard to detect. The other strange thing is that I remember the tea having more complex flavors, but they are absent. I suspect that this is due to my congestion, as it is a well documented fact that smell greatly affects taste.
I don't know why, but this tea was a bit disappointing today. I brewed it grandpa style, as I had a lot of free time, and was planning on a marathon study session. but for some reason, t was just…off. Everything seemed more subdued than usual. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that the inconsistent water quality of my dorm was at a low point today.
Yeah, I talked to a few people in the same building, and they had similar problems today.
Let this be a lesson: WATER QUALITY IS IMPORTANT! Looking into getting a Brita pitcher or something, because I don't want this to happen again.
So, I recently read an article about "Grandpa Style" tea preparation over at marshaln.com, so I decided to try it out with this tea. For those of you who don't know, this means I put the leaves in a cup, and add more hot water when I start to get low.
The results were truly interesting. Because there were not discrete infusions, I experienced the full spectrum of what this tea had to offer. It was interesting to taste the subtle transition to the slightly vegetative-yet-sweet tea that it becomes in the latter infusions. Truly a great way for me to finish my day.
I'm pretty new to tea in general ,so it is rather difficult to express how this tea tastes. The flavor was only a medium in terms of strength, and it had a pleasing aftertaste. The scent of the tea was also unique, which simultaneously reminded me of flowers and roasted nuts. All in all, it was a very pleasing experience.
This was a rating of the first infusion, steeped for 3 minutes at 93 degrees centigrade.
On this rainy day perfect way to finish this Spring "Shi Ru" tea. I am happy, enriched to have tried this Oolong. It is rich and does brew best very hot/boiling temperature.
I do not yet understand the term "sweet" if not adding sugar to something. Perhaps it is described as 'sweet' if not vegetal or coarse and smoky; then I would say it is sweet.
Each cup I have had of this tea was fresh in flavor and full; the longer I brewed this tea the more enjoyment I found within the cup. And the tea leaves are soupy; yums or go a bit further to buttered yams kind of yummy in taste.
I am liking Oolongs and this is a good thing.
Another obtained China Cha Dao sampler that is most enjoyable. This is a good morning cup of tea which is very mild and fresh in aromatic flavoring. I don't find this to be heavy at all.
The liquor is lightly greenish in color, almost yellow like and it is very smooth in texture; and sweet not vegetal. I drink it all day long and find it most enjoyable.
I am grateful for a simpler cup of loose leaf tea. It is gentle on the palette, not demanding much investigation.
This is my first review in a series of six samples from China Cha Dao
Experience buying from China Cha Dao: I responded to an offer on Steepster for free samples. Received exactly what was stated in the offer: fresh tea and very generous sample sizes. On their website on eBay they have a good variety of tea for reasonable prices.
Age of leaf: Stated as 2011. Received in mid-summer, brewed in late summer 2011.
Packaging: small, clear bags with small label printed with the full name of the tea.
Dry leaf: long, slender, dark brown leaves. Slight scent, something burnt, like paper, gunpowder, or something (reminds me of the smell from my cap gun when I was a kid; wild!). I am guessing this is due to the roasting it goes through?
Brewing guidelines: loose in glass Bodum pot. Stevia added. (I wanted to start with shorter steeping times than the other reviewers to get a wider perspective—-range of flavor—-for this tea.)
…………….1st: 195, 2'
…………….2nd: 200, 3'
…………….3rd: 212, 5'
…………….4th: 195, 6'
Aroma: rich, almost like coffee.
Color of liquor: medium brown, like a lightly roasted coffee.
Wet leaf: slightly different smell than the dry leaf, more pleasant, perhaps sweeter? Lots of large, very dark leaves, a fair amount of smallish pieces (chopped?), and a few stems. Some of the leaves are so dark they look almost burnt (due to the roasting?). Leaves on the top of the water with some hanging vertically during the 1st steeping, some hanging vertically, and some on bottom, during the 2nd, and all sitting on the bottom during the 3rd and 4th steepings.
Flavor: (I struggled with how to describe the flavor, and I finally settled on this description) The taste is similar to the smell of the leaves, with a rich, roasted, robust flavor (the three R's?!) reminding me of coffee. The third steeping tasted somewhat burnt (which I did not taste in the first or second steeping), but that was possibly because I used water that was too hot for it; I chalk that up as a learning experience: don't steep this oolong in boiling water! Tasting it at room temperature, it tastes almost chocolaty. It held flavor all the way though to the fourth steeping (even at boiling!).
Value: Free 10-gram sample (Thank you Jerry Ma @ China Cha Dao tea on Ebay!). His regular tea is very reasonably priced, I judge ($7/125grams).
Overall: I am a newbie when it comes to oolongs (I've only had about three to four), so I invite you to read my review from that point of view. This may be the most challenging review I have written to date, trying to pin down the flavors and aromas.
I like this tea! It gives me somewhat of a sense that I am drinking coffee, as seule771 has mentioned in her review (I like coffee, but my wife does not, and she does not like this tea either). There is something else about it that I like which is hard for me to put my finger on; I think it's that it tastes fresh. There is nothing stale or off-putting about the flavor in this tea at all. Although it is rich and robust, it is nonetheless somewhat mild tasting, and still enjoyable (I don't know if you can have rich, robust and mild in the same cup, but that's the best way I can describe it for now!). There certainly seem to be subtle flavors stealthily swimming around in my cup that I am missing (as a few of the other reviews has eluded to), and that's all the more reason for me to drink a tea like this: to discover the wonders hidden in this cuppa!
This is one of those high end tea drink as opposed to store brand tea. It is lighter in roasted flavoring; and honey like in taste leaving for a very smooth, almost velvety note on the palette.
The leaves are roasted, dark, crunchy and curled and when dispensed amidst the water in the cup the leaves unfolds to fullness; and what was dark in coloring of the leaves is a mild green; and yes the leaves are edible as well. Maintaining that honey flavoring throughout.
Texture is described as smooth and mellow and this conjures the honey sweetness in the cup making for a slight flora aroma and not vegetal.
A very good Wuyi Mountain Oolong. This is the "Mama Bear" of the Wuyi Mountain Oolongs I tried from China Cha Dao. Not too smokey, not too sweet, but just right. Enough complexity to keep me interested through several steepings. It is distinctive in it's aroma, and does not overwhelm you as some can. One note, this tea really depends on having good water that is not hard, best with bottled spring water (soft).
The scent of this one is big.. it reaches right out and smacks you! It's honey and tobacco with a hint of burnt.
On sipping it very hot there is a green note.. think dark green lettuce, cabbage or kale. Somewhere in there.
When cooled to warm, it has that burnt edge to it -but in a pleasant way, the vegetal flavor is much lighter, the honey sweetness comes out. The tea is generally light in the mouth and not actually sweet but puts you in the mind of honey, instead.
Not my favorite of these samples, but good.
I have been slowly working my way through my Wuyi oolong samples and had been saving this for last since it seems to be the overall favorite of my fellow Steepsterites. Although I have not finished (or even tried) all of the other samples, I felt compelled to brew this one up today. I was wanting something really good and that is exactly what I received.
When I first opened the sample bag, I thought that somehow another aroma had leaked into the tea because I smell juicy, sweet raisins. After a few more long sniffs into the sample bag (long enough that my kitten was starting to worry about me) I have come to the conclusion that it is perhaps the actual tea leaves that are giving off this delicious aroma. Already, I was super excited about this tea just from the aroma alone.
After brewing up a pot, I am greeting primarily with a roasty, toasty oolong with a very nice sweetness that wells up through the middle of your mouth and stays with you long after swallowing that sip. Even my husband, who is very picky about tea said this one was "interesting and pretty good!" And this is all from only the first infusion. I can't wait to try subsequent steeps – I love how oolongs seem to progress and evolve as time goes on.
My rating is temporary based on this first infusion but if subject to change depending on what else this tea has in store for me.
I swear I dreamt about this oolong. Today, fear of heavy metal poisoning gone, I barely rinsed it and let each steeping cool to enhance the floral tones. It really tastes vegetal in a yellow, autumn way. It's going to be tough to save a cup of this to compare to the Golden Key, spposedly the best of the batch!
Brief 10 rinse.
The first steep is almost light feeling, some mineral and staying with the barley and birch flavors. The floral layer comes out when it cools somewhat.
Second steep is even lighter, more wheat and woodsy.
The third is lightly grain and floral, very nice.
I wouldn't call this one sweet but gives the impression of sweetness, which I love, usually in white teas. The cloud of heavy metal I asscociate with Wuyi is absent and the roasted flavor is welcome in this tea, a blanced brew indeed. The large leaves and subtler flavors make this the best contemplation tea of all the samples. I think I like this one best and I burned the first cup!
So far, this has been my favorite Wuyi I received in the sample set from ChaDao. It reminds me of a wuyi TGY mix. It has a smooth/sweet flavor. I definitely stands alone. I am not used to Wuyis without smokiness. Love it. I am just surprised it has been rated so low.
This is the first sample from China Cha Dao I've tried. I brewed it gongfu-style with a 10-second rinse of the leaves before I started.
Dry leaves smell kind of sweet, with woodsy notes and a tiny bit of citrus, though this last note is incredibly faint.
1st infusion: 15 seconds
Tea is pale gold in colour, sort of like honey. The aroma reminds me of the smell of tabacco, though not in a bad way – the sweet, woodsy notes that are also present make this a pleasant smell. The taste is fresh and sweet with vegetative notes (but different to the ones I would expect to find in a green tea – this reminds me of tree bark). Does that make sense?
2nd infusion: 30 seconds
The tea is much darker this time. It tastes and smells pretty much the same as the first, though perhaps not as sweet, but still very fresh.
3rd infusion: 45 seconds
The leaves are still very rolled up. The tea is now more mellow and the tabacco note in the aroma is now apparent in the taste, if only barely (I have never tasted anything like that in tea before – I don't think it can be contaminated because no-one in the household smokes, but it seems very odd. Not unpleasant, just odd). The tea feels like silk in my mouth.
4th infusion: 60 seconds
The tea is starting to get a little watery now, so this will be my last steep. The taste is mellow with woody notes. It isn't bitter at all, not even in the aftertaste, which I sometimes find with darker oolongs.
Compared to the other samples I tried, this one is less toasty, but also less sweet.
It's like a "lite" version of the other types. Which is not to say that this tea is bad, because it is not. I am currently on my second infusion, which I am enjoying greatly.
It is, however, less impressive than the other samples. Good, but not outstanding.

Walter Benjamin: Self-Reference and Religiosity
€ 161,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 1-2 Wochen
September 2002
BeschreibungWalter Benjamin's work represents one of the most radical and controversial responses to the problems of twentieth-century culture and society. This new interpretation analyzes some of the central enigmatic features of his writing, arguing that they result from the co-presence of religious scepticism and the desire for a religious foundation of social life. Margarete Kohlenbach focuses on the structure of self-reference as an expression of Benjamin's sceptical religiosity and examines its significance in his writing on language, literature and the cinema, as well as history, politics and modern technology.

In the battle of mobile phone verses home phone it is clear the student has now easily surpassed the master but the old dog is not dead yet…
Made by OpenPeak, the 'Home Media Phone' range consists of both corded and cordless models and takes the highly unusual step of building into both an Intel Atom processor!
While many would see this as overkill (possibly including me) it does revolutionise the capabilities of both devices and to capitalise each is fitted with a large touchscreen with iPhone-esque icon driven home screens. Functionality is also impressive with an RSS reader, local information and weather guide, digital photo frame functionality, web radio and even the ability to remotely control home devices. I'm just scratching the surface too as the pair run an open platform which will offer up an SDK to allow developers to create a limitless array of third party apps.
Naturally both are VoIP compatible as well, connecting to the web via either Ethernet or WiFi and I have to admit - while we first got wind of these models in the latter half of last year - having the chance to finally use them I found their Flash based UIs responsive and the menus well thought out and intuitive. Bottom line: they were a pleasure to use.
As for real world availability however that's still a quarter or two away with the models likely to ship in the US first though OpenPeak did admit to me it is currently in negotiations with British Telecom in the UK. So if you've been searching for the ultimate gadget home phone look no further!

I really like the cream but there is not a lot for the price. It doesn't take a lot however to cover my hands. I like the smell as it is light and not overpowering at all. I love that part of the funds goes to help the turtles :) Would I buy it again? Yes. Do I wish there was more for the price? yes4
I was really looking forward to getting this product and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed when I opened the box. First off, for $12 I thought I would be getting a bigger bottle than what I got. After using the product a few times, it "gets the job done" and moisturizes my hands, but I feel like I have to use a lot of it to do that. On a positive note I like that my hands don't feel greasy after I use it. Last negative would be that I'm not a huge fan of the scent. I wish that I smelled more of the vanilla and less of the shea butter. But you can't please everyone! I think it is pretty awesome that they donate a portion of the proceeds to the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation! :)3

When farmers in the hamlet of Harrow talk about the drought, they're not talking about the weather. They're talking about the shortage of sheilas. Along the main street is the town's heartbeat, the Hermitage Hotel, where the ceiling is just high enough to accommodate a man of average height, and where there are no women, average or otherwise.
Here, the men talk of birds and chics, and how they have all flown to the city. Such is Harrow's predicament, the locals admit that any woman who moves to the town is warmly assessed for a "stock report", the results of which are discussed in the pub later.
"With not many girls (in the town), it's a fair bit of a problem," says Cameron Penny, 20, from a farming family in nearby Douglas. "If you're playing a home game with the local footy club and you want to chase a bit of skirt afterwards, I suppose you've got to head into towns like Horsham, which makes it harder for us boys if we're trying to find a girl."
Penny emits an impish grin as he looks over to his mates from the footy club and they all laugh together.
With a population of just 90, 50 of whom are grown men, Harrow, is in decline. The remote Victorian country town, which is about half-way between Melbourne and Adelaide, is built around sheep farming. Indeed, the area is home to more sheep than women.
But all that is about to change -- at least for a weekend. Tonight, Harrow men will see more women in the Hermitage Hotel than they have seen for years. Eighty excited women from urban areas around Australia will bustle into the tiny town to be introduced to 80 scrubbed-up men from Harrow and surrounding towns. There is romance in the air, hormones have shot off the Richter scale, and everyone is looking for love.
Even though it has long been known in Harrow that it's not difficult to get "a root" in some of the larger towns nearby if you have a bit of cash in your pocket, that's not what Harrow boys are looking for. They want to meet a good-looking girl, with a big-heart and a sense of humour who likes flirting, frolicking and farming. The women may have left Harrow, but the romance certainly has not.
To be part of the Beaut Blokes weekend, the city girls are up for $175, for which they are treated as VIPs, with two nights accommodation in local farm cottages and home stays. They will get the full country experience with a chance to shear sheep, bottle feed calves and try a mug of billy tea in the woolshed.
A black tie dinner at the town hall will set the mood on Saturday night, with everything climaxing on Sunday with a big country lunch. Jittery with anticipation, the townsfolk are talking about nothing else.
When Ange Newton, the publican of the Hermitage first had the idea for the Beaut Blokes weekend, she did not expect it would attract so much attention from all around Australia. Tonight, Harrow will see the final arrival of girls from Melbourne, Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia. Tickets sold out within days of going on sale last month, and hundreds of girls who missed out posted their disappointment on the Beaut Blokes website.
One girl wrote: "Country men are the strongest, most virile, down-to-earth people you can meet. They are sensitive, have feelings and one day I am going to get one myself".
Newton says Harrow is not alone in facing a female exodus; many country towns across Victoria have the same problem. She says young men and women move to the cities to be educated and not all come back. Most men tend to return to assume their responsibilities in family farm businesses, but women generally see few work opportunities in their home towns and choose to stay in the city to further their job prospects. The result is a shortage of women in rural towns and a shortage of men in cities.
Everyone in Harrow is acutely aware that beneath the glamour and romance of the weekend lurks the serious problem of rural decline. In 2001, there were 98 males for every 100 females in Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Women outnumbered men in big cities and inner regional areas, but in remote parts of the country, there were more men than women. Indeed, in far off rural areas the figures showed there were 125 males for every 100 females.
The bureau's 2003 annual compendium of the nation's habits says there is a recognised pattern of young people migrating out of country towns to cities.
At La Trobe University's Centre for Sustainable Regional Communities, Ian Pinge, an expert in regional economics, says new research shows work in rural areas is shifting from full-time to part-time, and from male to female. Most of the off-farm, part-time jobs are going to older women in rural areas as young women move out.
To counteract this, new projects funded by regional companies are trying to encourage young people to strengthen their ties to the community so they feel attached enough to return after completing their studies.
Meanwhile, back on the farm, groups of chattering girls have been arriving in Harrow, bags bulging. Many men have vacated their homes and are sleeping at the local footy club to make space for the fairer sex. Among the girls, word about the footy club is spreading fast.
"The guys have to sleep in the footy club, it's like a rule of chastity . . . It is at the top of a hill so they can't come down and get us after lights out, sort of thing," says Shona, 24, from St Kilda. "If a girl wants to catch up with him she has to trudge uphill to the footy club -- so it's on her terms.
"We're here for fun, and if anything comes of it, that's a bonus," she says.
Originally from Albury-Wodonga, Shona says country men are easier to talk to because they are not pretentious. "I find city guys a lot sleazier because they can say and do what they want and (they think) you're just going to reciprocate and go 'you're the best guy in the whole wide world'. But it's all airs and graces; I don't find a lot of city guys attractive."
Shona, a receptionist for a clothing company, says there is such an oversupply of women in the city, urban men are able to "pick and choose", offering women nothing but instability in relationships. They like to keep their options open and give mixed signals to avoid commitment. She says one of her past boyfriends had no manners at all.
"He rang on our first anniversary and said 'Hi babe, happy anniversary, I'm on night shift, come over early and I'll cook dinner'. I turned up and he asked for money to get the food. I lent him money and he came back with a McDonalds happy meal, and it was cold . . . I thought gee, I want to keep you, I really want to keep you."
Shona has dreams, but keeps her feet on the ground: "Every girl wants a fairy tale . . . the whole romantic side of things, but in reality you want mutual respect and friendship, just the basic things."
Her friend Louise, 24, a corporate finance manager with a big car company, is also a little partial to the fairy-tale treatment.
"I know it's contradictory to my professional, independent woman, feminist-sort-of persona, but you like to be the princess who gets doors opened for her, and taken out here and there. I find that happens less and less with people that I mix with in town. A lot of country guys I knew at uni and school were a lot more inclined to be chivalrous," she says.
She's not seriously looking for a guy but says her perfect man would be "someone who isn't intimidated by the fact that I'm pretty strong-willed and committed to what I do professionally".
After a couple of long relationships she says she's found that men can be good at "packaging and marketing" themselves, but when the surface is scratched, Mr Hyde has a nasty habit of popping up.
Jodie Taylor, 32, from Lara, is making the trip with her sister-in-law and a friend. She, too, is unimpressed by city men.
"Some guys don't know how to treat you right. They don't know what to do with you when they've got you, or they run away, or they just don't know what they want themselves," she says. "It's easy to get a guy to love me, but not very easy to get a guy to be in love with me.
"City blokes are always in a rush, they want everything now, most only want one thing, and then it's 'catchya'. And, they're a bit more selfish."
On the other hand, Taylor says country lads are laid back, relaxed and take things as they come.
This weekend she'll be having fun while she keeps an eye out for "someone who can talk to you and not just look stupid. Someone with a good personality who enjoys talking about politics, and good-looks would help. Someone who can give me a run for my money".
So, are the men of Harrow up to it? Have they bitten off more than they can chew? Can they live up to the reputation that precedes them and give city girls what they are looking for: a handsome, smart, country gent who is strong as an ox, opens doors for women, works the land, loves having fun, talks frankly without pretensions, cracks a good joke, is well versed in weightier matters such as politics, mends the fences and really knows how to treat a fairytale princess.
Down at the Hermitage, the Harrow hunks are bracing themselves. A cocktail of excitement, anxiety and testosterone has got them in a lather and they are thankful for any tips and advice that anyone from the city can pass on to them.
At the footy club, a group of Beaut Blokes are kicking a footy around. Cameron Penny and his friends agree that country men are rougher and tougher. They say they like a bit of a laugh and they can "party pretty bloody hard".
Brad Braune, 27, is a sheep shearer who has lived in the district all his life. "Hanging around blokes all day makes you . . . well, more blokey," he says. "You just get on the grog at night and act a bit stupid, go a bit far at times." A woman in a man's life can make him more level-headed and quieten him down, he says.
Country men say they are "low maintenance" and down-to-earth. They just want to have a rollicking good time and live the country life with a companion. Times may be hard but there's work for women as teachers and vets in nearby towns. And the men are true and loyal, they say.
"We don't go to any great extremes to get ready for anything," says Braune. "We take it as it comes... What you see is what you get."
Country men, he say, might be more old-fashioned but at least they are not overconfident, like city men. "That, to us, comes across as arrogance."
Quentin Willmott, 18, from Douglas, agrees that men can get out of control when they don't have a woman. "You go overboard, probably drink more." His mate, Cameron, looks up and adds: "But at least you don't have to look good." They all laugh.
Willmott feels the giggles coming on and grasps the chance for a one-liner to impress his mates: "I don't know what I'm looking for this weekend, but I'm hoping to pick up one or two women."
"One or two women?" his friends reply, their voices thick with scepticism.
"Alright, maybe three then," Quentin quips. They all fall about chortling.

BeschreibungThe book deals with the so-called comment clauses, namely you know, you see and I mean. These clauses occur mainly in spoken English. The research is based on the analysis and comparison of four authentic texts - two face-to-face and two telephone conversations. The comment clauses are examined according to three different criteria - pragmatic function, position within the turn and the response to the use of the comment clauses on the part of the hearer.

Refried Beans: Don't let the 'fried' fool you
OK, so these *particular* refried beans (or "refritos," as they're known in Mexico) may not have been the healthiest version of this much-misunderstood food, but I ordered them at a truck stop/gasolinera on the highway outside Mexico City, so I suppose it was ambitious to expect much more than the pictured pile of bacon grease garnished with leftover mashed pintos.
We'll just ignore the form and focus on the function. Refritos are usually made of cooked and mashed pinto beans cooked in some sort of fat. They're cooked just once… the "re" in "refried" is a misnomer… with spices and maybe some onion and garlic. As it turns out, most canned versions are quite low in fat (3g or less per serving)–with some brands offering fat-free versions. They're also usually vegetarian, and very high in fiber and protein. Which makes them an excellent food to keep in your pantry to use as a sandwich spread, a filling for burritos, tacos or omelets, a dip for baked tortilla chips, or a side dish to serve with rice. Low-sodium refried beans would also be a very appropriate complimentary food for healthy babies around 8 months or up who are eating other pureed texture foods; just make sure to mix some liquid in if necessary to ensure that they're not too thick so as to cause a choking hazard.
Eden Foods makes an organic refried black beans and soybeans product that has won all sorts of accolades for flavor and has the added benefit of being a source of complete protein, owing to the soybeans. As with most canned foods, you'll want to watch out for the sodium content when selecting a brand of refried beans. The big brands, like Ortega, Taco Bell and Old El Paso, are loaded with sodium–with some containing 50% of your daily limit in one small serving. Aim for products that contain less than 10% of the daily value for sodium (or less than 240 mg) per 1/2 cup serving. Some examples include: Amy's Kitchen low-sodium version and Eden Foods. Whole Foods' 365 brand also has one Refried Black Bean product that just makes the cut, but their others are too darn salty to be considered healthy. And as if it needed to be said: once you leave the cans and venture into Mexican restaurant territory, all bets are off.
if you can't find a low-sodium brand in your local supermarket, you can make them yourself using low-sodium canned pinto beans, which should be easier to find. Just saute 1 clove of garlic in 1 TBSP of olive oil for about a minute, and add one 15 oz can of low-sodium pinto beans with the liquid. Mix it all up and start smashing the beans with the back of a wooden spoon and keep cooking/mashing until the beans reach the texture of mashed potatoes. If need be, you can add a bit of low-sodium broth to get the texture to your preferred mushiness.Did you like this? If so, please bookmark it, RSS feed.

Seven trains that the PCs might one day need to travel openly on, sneak onto, wreck or rob,
So your PCs have won their quest, be it slaying a mighty dragon with a magical weapon of old, beating a crime boss, or vanquishing a mighty wizard or wight, and they have taken possession of the treasure. Chest after chest of gold and silver coins, gold bars, and every kind of jewel and gemstone is theirs for the taking. If they are not careful, they may find that their trouble has only just begun.
Normal punishments tend to involve either fines, imprisonment, amputation or execution, but not all crimes are going to be bad enough to be executed for, and imprisonment is often a waste of resources. Here are thirty punishments for those who get out of line and get caught and convicted.
Why is magic used by so few when it is so much use?
There are a myriad of trains that run on the ley lines all through Vallermoore, delivering passengers and goods to their destinations, but they all have to give way by Law when the Royal War Train comes through.
Normally Goblins tend to be the targets of PCs, but it could be that the PCs do something to aid them and the grateful Goblins give them something in return. Here are thirty great, ghoulish and ghastly goblin gifts.
Most criminals who are locked up as a punishment or to await trial are just confined in regular cellblocks or jails, but not all of them. Some are so dangerous that ordinary prisons just will not hold them. Others have secrets that cannot be allowed to be spread, or their crimes are so dreadful that they deserve a greater punishment then normal incarceration or even execution. In yet other cases the ruler had a nasty sense of humour...
30 Arrows for your PC with a bow to have in his or her quiver.
Often PCs get on the wrong side of powerful users of magic or break into enchanted tombs, either may get them on the wrong side of a curse.
Whilst royal courts tend to be like each other in some ways, they can also be very different in other ways. Some may be places of fun where banquets and masked balls are common, whilst others are unpleasant or even dangerous and the nobility only attend because they have to.
Many, perhaps most fantasy lands are monarchies, which can be ruled well when the monarch is a clever and able man or woman devoted to his or her people. But what happens when the monarch is ill, or is tyrannically cruel, or a young child, or is otherwise blatantly unfit to rule? How can he or she be dealt with without risking civil war as powerful nobles fight for the crown?
A lot of what adventurers do is illegal, from fighting and carrying weapons in towns, to robbery and tomb raiding. Sooner or later, many of them are going to be arrested and find themselves up before a judge.
Come you Masters of War...Thirty generals, some of them effective and popular with their men, others anything but.
The fort seemed like every small boys dream, but in fact it was a very well made magical prison, and the young prince only learned the truth when it was too late and the magic sucked him inside, his cries from his now inch high body too quiet to be heard.
Since magic can be used so powerfully for evil, why are there not a lot more evil and/or deranged wizards around in the world?
Over the centuries, the thieves, assassins and secret agents who operate within the underworld have come up with many ingenious devices for stealing and murdering, many of which are disguised well enough to be carried in plain sight.
A plume is seen far off in the distance, but what will it turn out to be when it gets closer? Only time will tell.
"If we the poor cannot enjoy our lives, you the rich will have yours taken away." Police statement taken from a captured cultist, a member of Inanna's Avenging Hands.
Inanna's Silver Tongues are one of the most unpopular of all cults, hated by all other cults and criminal organizations and thought to be somewhat unpleasant even by those in law enforcment who make the most use of them. What they are renowned for, is the art of informing.
"Though he walk through the most dangerous ghetto in the city, he shall fear no evil with Lawboon by his side."
The heroes find the crumbling, overgrown ruins of what appears to be some sort of grand dining hall in the forest. Deciding that it is a good place to camp, the set up a fire in the center. However, they are woken in the night to see skeletons waltzing in the moonlight to organ music that emanates from the open air. The skeletons touch nobody, dancing around them all night.

Hackensack Alliance ACO is a partner with Hackensack University Medical Center. It currently has about 120 physicians in its program, approximately 10,000 Medicare patients, and about 30,000 commercially insured patients. Not all of these patients are contracted as ACO patients. However, the ACO policy is to treat all patients equally.
Morey Menacker, DO, president of the Hackensack Alliance ACO, said they've created a small group of primary care physicians who understand the need for comprehensive patient care. "It is necessary to eliminate duplication of services, unnecessary tests, and inappropriate hospitalizations," Menacker said. He emphasized the need for continuous monitoring of a patient's condition, and compliance with recommendations and medications.
The ACO accomplishes those aims by using patient care navigators, nurses who see patients in their homes, call them frequently, and develop a relationship with them. Physicians supervise the nurses and follow up in their office or in the hospital. Menacker said that the only way to manage such a system is with a comprehensive electronic health record, accessible by the navigator, the physician, and any consultant that the patient might require. The system needs to be seamless and integrated via a cloud-based health information exchange.
"We decided to take the ACO route once it was learned that a sea change was coming to healthcare reimbursement," said Menacker. "A decision was made to be part of the solution, the cutting edge. The alternative was to ignore the need for change and be told what to do in the future."
The current payment model at Hackensack varies. It includes a fee for service component, a shared savings component, and a-per-patient per month management component.
Care coordination is a major spoke in the ACO wheel, said Menacker. "Our plan is to identify the high-risk patient, and concentrate our attention on preventing complications and hospitalizations in this population. We are in the process of implementing a patient care software program which will integrate with our various EMRs and gather all the data for reporting." That would allow ACO personnel to analyze the effectiveness of its coordinators as well as physicians and continue to implement processes to streamline and improve care, said Menacker.

World of Paint
If Jackson Pollock hadn't fathered abstract expressionism, what would today's art world look like? That's a question Perrin McEwen has spent some time contemplating ®C not that he wants a definitive answer. "I don't think our world would be possible," McEwen says. "He forced us to look at art in a different way."
For those who see Pollock's pieces as nothing but splatters, the artist might not seem so impactful. But McEwen, who serves as a docent at SMoCA, says that Pollock's fascinations with Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Native American art were manifested on his introspective canvases. "He felt like his work expressed the deep subconscious meanings of this life," McEwen says of Pollack's pioneering approach. He'll discuss why Pollack's work is inseparable from contemporary art during "Jackson Pollock: A Life of Show and Tell, Give and Take."

As Auckland merges to create a supercity, the Herald looks back at how Auckland has changed over the years. Click here to view the full series.
The earliest evidence of human settlement in Auckland dates from about AD 1300. Charcoal in the soil indicates that forests were cleared by fire at that time.
There is also evidence that people were living on Motutapu Island when Rangitoto first erupted from the sea about 1350. Traces of their settlement are buried under its ash.
The people were East Polynesians who had arrived in New Zealand about a century earlier on the evidence of radiocarbon dates. They probably came from the Marquesas and Society Islands (Tahiti) where closely matching artefacts to those found in New Zealand have been excavated.
The Polynesian discovery and settlement of New Zealand was the culmination of extensive exploration of the eastern Pacific. They had also settled in the Cook Islands, Easter Island, Hawaii and, briefly, Pitcairn and Norfolk islands.
Their navigational ability, attested by evidence of continued voyaging between the islands of central East Polynesia, makes it likely that New Zealand was discovered by purposeful rather than accidental voyages.
The presence of New Zealand obsidian in sites on the Kermadec Islands indicates that return voyages also occurred.
The earliest archaeological discoveries in Auckland, and New Zealand generally, are close to the sea on beaches, river mouths and harbour entrances where there was access to resources such as seals, porpoises, sea birds, and abundant fish.
Early period sites are relatively rare in Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf, occurring on Motutapu and Ponui Islands, at the mouth of the Manukau, on the West Coast and at the recently discovered early site at Torpedo Bay on North Head. It is likely that coastal erosion over the past 500 years has removed the evidence from many other early sites in the region.
The early period is marked by signs of continued long-distance sailing to exploit stone sources from as far away as Cook Strait.
What happened to these early sea-oriented people remains a mystery. They may have moved elsewhere, shifted their economy to kumara and taro horticulture, or joined other peoples moving into the Hauraki area.
Whatever happened, by about 1400-1450, people with a recognisably different economy were living all over the Auckland isthmus. They practised horticulture, digging garden terraces and kumara storage pits, as well as fishing and gathering large quantities of cockles and pipis from the extensive harbours.
Good quality gardening soils were at a premium and Auckland's volcanic lava fields and cones show extensive signs of use. Fields were marked by rows of stone and the volcanic cones were terraced for gardens, storage and house sites.
Radiocarbon dates indicate that the spectacular terraces on cones such as Mt Eden (Maunga Whai), One Tree Hill (Maunga Kiekie) and Mt Wellington (Maunga Rei), resulted from the multiple activities of gardening, storing, cooking and building.
Their well-drained slopes were particularly attractive for gardening and kumara storage. The cones are centrally located between the two harbours that provided important fishing grounds for shark and snapper.
Initial activities took place on lower terraces and people worked their way towards the summits. It seems likely that only a small proportion of each Auckland cone and its surrounding stone fields were occupied at any one time.
From 1500 on, the summits of the cones and settlements on the volcanic lowlands and headlands around Auckland's harbours show evidence of defences against attack. There are ditch and bank systems and larger palisades.
The presence of pa indicate greater social separation and a clearer marking of social boundaries during Auckland's later prehistoric period, possibly a result of pressure from the north by Ngati Whatua and from the south by Ngati Paoa, Ngai Tai and Ngati Maru.
Maori oral traditions note the arrival of many Maori canoes in the Auckland region, particularly the Tainui waka. Archaeology can document the presence of artefacts and note economic evidence in the form of shellfish, fish, and sea mammals, the distribution of settlements and the presence of fireplaces, garden terraces, storage pits and fortifications, but it cannot identify individuals or tribal groups.
What can be said is that there was a change in economic activity and in the nature and distribution of sites between the sea-oriented early period and the horticultural lowland settlement sites of the later period.
Whether this change can be linked with the intrusive arrival of peoples from overseas, or from elsewhere in New Zealand, remains unknown.
Much of Auckland's archaeology remains hidden from view. More than half the volcanic cones which existed at the time of first European arrival in Auckland have been quarried away for building materials and all have been damaged by quarrying, roads and the construction of water reservoirs.
The extensive areas of Maori settlement which previously covered the isthmus are now covered by the suburban landscape of Auckland. Almost all the headlands of the Waitemata Harbour had smaller pa, and these too have been destroyed by urban expansion.
The only areas where archaeological landscapes remain are on the islands of the Gulf - Motutapu, Waiheke, Ponui and others. This gives these islands immense value for archaeological conservation but they can also present a conflict of values with nature conservationists who want to return the islands to a pristine condition through revegetation.
The potential loss of Auckland's archaeological heritage is significant for today's residents, not only because there is still a great deal to learn about Auckland's past but also because an archaeological landscape is a reminder that things were not always as they are today.
Change is always a feature of human existence. Our beautiful harbours, volcanic lowlands, hills and volcanic cones once rang with different voices. The people who created these past archaeological landscapes were people much as ourselves, with similar desires, hopes and disappointments.
We owe it to them to recognise that the past they created in Auckland has contributed greatly to our future.
Dr Harry Allen is an associate professor in the department of anthropology at the University of Auckland.

Capital CampaignDear members of the OLL community,
Building Our Laker Legacy is the theme chosen to represent Our Lady of the Lake's Capital Campaign. Without doubt, this is a community with much to be thankful for. Since 1929, when this parish was founded, Our Lady of the Lake has been about people. We are very proud of being inter-generational. For years, family after family has gathered around this church and school to worship, learn, celebrate and play. And now, more than eight decades later, we are poised to build something for the next generation.
More than a decade ago, the parish community went through a master planning process (2000 and Beyond) for the school and parish facility. That plan resulted in the building of Jubilee Hall and mentioned within that plan was a desire by the community for a renovated gym and kitchen. Now, with a growing parish community we are excited with the prospects of building something that would meet the needs of both our parish and school. In 2011, members of our parish explored the feasibility of such a project and, after months of prayerful discernment, we are convinced that now is the time.
Building Our Lake Legacy captures the very essence of what this community is all about: people. Together with your support and generosity, we can continue to make this parish and school the center of our faith life. We are deeply grateful for your ongoing love and support for Our Lady of the Lake. Thank you for the gifts of your time, talents and treasure.
Please follow these links to learn more: project overview, latest update, how to contribute, and our supporters!
With gratitude,
Vince McGovern

text: Plenty of jazz legends are still working in their 80s, but only one leads what is often acclaimed as the best small group in the world – saxophonist Wayne Shorter, whose 1959-62 recordings have been the source for this Proper Box retrospective. Shorter's friend John Coltrane was an obvious model, but the newcomer had his own sound by his mid-20s, as his first notes here reveal, in their spooky tenor tone, slow-burn construction and enigmatic melodic shapes. On his 1959 bandleader debut, Shorter's sound is somewhere between Sonny Rollins, Coltrane and John Gilmore, but his compositional genius is also blossoming in fresh twists on the blues and in snappy modern swingers such as Black Diamond. Later themes for his boss Art Blakey, such as the obliquely resolving Sincerely Diana, the richly polyphonic Children of the Night and the rampant Powder Keg trace his growing maturity, though his own 1962 album Wayning Moments is over-represented. This is as uneven as most copyright-constrained retrospectives tend to be, but it's a revealing primer to the work of an inspired original.

National Shreveport Shout Out! {VIDEO}
I don't know if you caught it, but Shreveport got a shout out on a national TV show yesterday… and that TV show would be Live! with Regis and Kelly! It was the first day of the Men of Radio week with different radio personalities hosting each day with Kelly. I thought we had been forgotten because our very own Kidd Kraddick in the Morning didn't make the top 5, but lo and behold… Yesterday's personality was Fitz… and he has a Shreveport tie… his fiance Bethany Parks is someone you used to hear right here on K945! They even showed the video of his wedding proposal which was too cute! Check it out here!

The Chemist, The Engineer, & The Poison of Amerwoncik
Steve from Cincinnati had created a brown, tar -like compound. Its texture was sticky, it
smelled of tea leaves, and when set in heat for an extend period of time, it melted into a
muddy-colored, cement-like puddle; however, when the compound was smoked in a
wooden pipe, it smelled of its strongest ingredients (tobacco and opium) while
providing the smoker with euphoria, focus, and a lack of stress. Side-effects were
limited, mainly just fatigue from an excessive use of the brain. We nicknamed the tar-
like compound 'Hacker? since it was to be smoked instead of ingested; it was designed
for someone like a hunter, someone setting off for something dangerous and energetic.
It had to be smoked because of the chemistry of the elements and their involvement
with the body: Only if the compound was smoked would it work as long, remaining in
the lungs, blood stream, and fat lipids for up to three days. It's what I took with me
when I went heading off into the forest after the roving group of bandits. Aside from
the euphoria, the anti-anxiety, and the immense focus, the drug also slowed the

Then you followed with RHSS now that's thicker than Caron so did you change your hook size or did you stay at a G or move up to a H or even use a #7? my LO is about 41/2"-5". I'm also not sure if you meant 4-5" or shoe size 4-5. Thanks so much for this pattern it's exactly what I've been looking for!!!

Apologies, I didn't see your comment until recently. I'm not sure what could have happened. If you tend to crochet tightly you might try sizing up a hook. The sole of these should measure about 4.25 inches when completed. I've also added some photos, so hopefully that helps clarify anything that was confusing.

Thanks for commenting!

Apologies for taking so long to respond; it's been rather crazy around here. :)

I've rewritten a few portions of this pattern and added photos of the process. I think you've got the idea of it. Just make sure you don't skip a stitch after the ch-2 in the second round or it will go wonky.

I hope it helps! Thanks for visiting!

The 2nd row for the sole has thrown me for a loop. Ch 2. Hdc, sc 4, hdc 2, dc, 2 dc in next 6
stitches, dc 5, hdc 3, 2 hdc in next 4 stitches. Join but do not finish off. No matter which way I do it, it doesn't come out with 6 & 4 stitches worked. For example. Does it mean to Hdc in the next stitch, sc4 in the next stich, hdc 2 in the next stitch, etc? Counting the ch2 at the beginner that would make 6 stiches. However on the next section, working as before, it comes out to 3 stitches used instead of 4. I sure hope you can straighten me out on my thinking.

It's just not coming out right for me. " Ch 2. Hdc, sc 4, hdc 2, dc, 2 dc in next 6
stitches, dc 5, hdc 3, 2 hdc in next 4 stitches. Join but do not finish off." After ch2, do you Hdc in the next stitch, sc 4 in the next stitch, hdc2 in the next stitch, and so on? Oh the first part are you counting the ch2 as a stitch making a total of 6 stitches? On the part starting with dc 5 etc. in next 4 stitiches, if I do it as I think it reads, that would only be 3 stitches. I know my thinking is skrewy somewhere, but where? I hope you can clear this up for me.Connie Christopherson email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997681071026614956.post-8443448469285477172015-03-07T12:26:44.644-07:002015-03-07T12:26:44.644-07:00I cannot imagine how this pattern fits that baby g...I cannot imagine how this pattern fits that baby girl!

South Columbia burglaries under investigation
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia police are investigating two burglaries that happened on the same street just minutes apart.
Officers were called to the first burglary on Huntridge Drive in south Columbia just before midnight Wednesday.
The victims told police they came to home and found two black men running out of their house.
Just 20 minutes later, a second burglary happened a few houses down the street.
Police say the suspects were able to get into both homes through unlocked doors. There is no suspect information available and the investigation is ongoing.

JODHPUR, India – An urban sea of indigo-washed buildings, Jodhpur in the Indian state of Rajasthan certainly earns its name as "The Blue City." Sitting on an arid swath of land near the Thar Desert bordering Pakistan, the blue cubist outpost makes for an interesting contrast between man, beauty, squalor, and the natural setting. See it all in today's photo gallery.

Recognizing Your Support
Name Your Concert Hall Seat
Since 1928, the Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Concert Hall in the Mills College Music Building has hosted performances that have shaped the course of music in our time. Upon the 80th anniversary of the opening of this architecturally significant building, Mills completed an extensive renovation project to restore the concert hall to its acoustic and visual splendor and make improvements throughout the building. Now named in honor of a noted Mills alumna (who earned a master's degree in 1942) and patroness of the arts, the Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Concert Hall is once again advancing the tradition of hosting cutting-edge music performances that cross barriers of genre and culture.

At the river we met our guide and entered the Cuyabeno wildlife reserve, heading downstream in a wooden canoe that seated 8 with an outboard motor. We were soon stopping to check out our first wildlife - there was a huge array of birds and animals along the river banks: white fronted cappuccino monkeys, bat falcons, macaws, a huge heron, woodpeckers, kingfishers and swallows. By the time we reached our lodge Nev must have taken about a hundred photos.
Our lodge consisted of a main dining and hanging out area and a number of thatched cabanas that were comfortable and clean. We were glad for the sun to go down to cool things off (we helped things along with a swim in the river). After dinner, we went for our first night walk around the camp and saw some tarantula spiders, poisonous frogs, and a poisonous snake (just a small one though).
The next day we were up early and headed across the nearby lake for a walk. This involved getting up to our gumboots in mud and was very entertaining. We crossed the equator, saw some cool plants and more birds including a night hawk in the trees. Later that day we headed back to the lake to go for a swim, see a manitur surfacing and found a cayman in the shallows after the sun set
The next day it decided to rain, but this didn�t put us off our piranha fishing expedition. Serena was a legend and caught the first of the day, and we ended up catching and releasing 5 by the time we were done. They were bigger than we expected but still not much of a meal. So instead we headed to a local indigenous Indian village and went for a walk through their farming plantation of bananas, plantain and coca trees before helping prepare lunch. This consisted of pulling up some yucca roots and helping prepare them into a coconut like paste before we watched one of the local women expertly squeeze all the juice out of them and make a coconut bread pancake. Very yummy with our toppings we brought with us. In fact we almost had no room left for our actual lunch that we also brought with us, but it didn�t go to waste as the local chicos finished it off for us. We finished the day cruising back to the lake for another great sunset swim.
It rained again the next morning but we headed out in our canoe to do some paddling up stream. It was great to not have the motor running and hear the wildlife as well as see it. This is how we got to see some more dolphins as we heard them as they surfaced. We also creapt up on some bats sleeping under a branch, and went down some of the smaller channels to see some spider colonies, woodpeckers and toucans. We finished the day by going off the beaten track to see if we could find the macaws that we had heard across the river. After 20mins of wading through the swamp and almost giving up, we saw some come in to land in some nearby trees. We eventually got close enough to see them and get some photos. Well worth the effort.
Our day gave us one last view of the river as we headed back to the bridge. We were lucky to see some more monkeys - three different types - as well as some more macaws and toucans, but the hight light was an anteater sunning itself on a branch - very cool as I didn�t realise they climbed trees. The weather was good for traveling and and a few hours later we were back in Lago Agria and on the bus back to Quito - in daylight for the start at least this time.
We had a really good trip made possible by our excellent guide and the friendly people we stayed with. We certainly got off the beaten track and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One of the highlights of our time in South America.
