When working with strings, occasionally we would want to check if any part of a word is uppercase or start of a word is an uppercase letter. This post provide a generic function that can be extended to match your needs.

Hunspell with PHP on Windows – Part 1
Ok so I hear you saying, how the hell can I use Hunspell and PHP with Windows, Now the way I am going to show you isn't the only way but is a much simpler way without compiling and using binaries. What is Hunspell? Well I can re-write what's already written, however if you wish to find out, please check the link below https://hunspell.github.io/ Long story cut short, Hunspell is a tool that you can use to validate your text against a given dictionary, get options for correct spellings for a wrongly spelt words. What to do next on Windows 8/10? First thing first you have to get the executables, I've got hunspell-1.3.2-3-w32-bin.zip, download and extract it to say c:\Hunspell so path to bin folder will look like c:\Hunspell\bin This is where you will find hunspell.exe Great so far so good, now let's add our bin folder to our Environment PATH, Setting Environment variable PATH Step 1 Goto Control Panel --> System --> Advanced system settings --> "Advanced" tab --> "Environment Variables" Step 2 Under "System variables" window select "Path" and click "Edit" button Step 3 A window "Edit System Variable" will pop up showing the current value of "Path".

How to get Pinterest Numeric Board ID
Hi Guys, It used to be easy to get Pinterest board ID before, but for some reason they have buried that sort of information within source, A while back I wrote something that wouldn't use the Pinterest official/unofficial API but parse the HTML source code to extract the board ID. I was using that for myself but today I thought maybe others will find it handy on occasions. This led me port the code and beautify it using a StartBootstrap theme, thus http://pinterestboardid.com/ was born. Little tool just to parse that source code and give your the board ID you are looking for. Using this tool is simple. Just enter a valid board URL and a numeric board ID will be displayed somewhere in big text just above word Simple. Let me know if you want to add something to this tool or its giving you an error when you least expected it. This tool is written using PHP, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT and use curl to query board URL's Good luck. … [Read more...]
Android Emulator Windows Hosts file editing
Oh! so you want to update a hosts file just like I wanted and spoiled many minutes playing with what works. Let's go through this process to make it work for you as well (hopefully!) Google Android emulator is an amazing tool to test out your apps, Hybrid or Native. There are many cases when we want to use hosts file to point a domain to a machine located in local network. A good place to start reading about what is or is not possible with emulator when it comes down to networking is to read this help page on Android emulator networking. Edit the hosts file in Android emulator Start your Android Virtual Device (AVD): [crayon-5997e8b17d0bb735366749/] Emulator is located under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools" folder, we are adding the partition size so we give enough buffer to write to our hosts file without any error. The error you may get is failed to copy 'c:\temp\hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Out of memory Second step is to remount the device image by using the command below [crayon-5997e8b17d0c7253600073/] adb stands for Android Debug Bridge, to read more on this command please go visit this page, this program can be found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" location of your windows install.

PHPStorm Painfully Slow….
Oh Yeah, That went and drove me nuts. I would like to share what worked for me. I am a Windows user so the instructions you see in this post apply to windows user, but stuff shall be quite similar for Mac/Linux users too. First thing first start using Java 64 bit to get some instant performance gain. Set your default environment path for java to point to your 64 bit install. Variables such as JAVA_HOME etc I mean. Second thing is to then start using PHPStorm 64 bit. Where do you find it? Depends where you installed it basically. On my system it is located as shown in the screenshot below Third thing, make sure you are on latest version of PHP storm, WebStorm, IntelliJ whatever, all pretty much based on same core code I would assume. Wait wait... one more thing before you double click that file to launch your IDE is to edit that PHPStorm64.exe.vmoptions this file is found in the same location as your phpstorm exe, What is this stuff? Read more about vmoptions tuning on PHPStorm site, basically all properties in this file are meant to tune your Java Virtual Machine so it handles PHPStorm stuff better. I won't go into much detail on each property and what it means. You can read all that stuff from oracle website. Here is the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html But I want to highlight one thing, the settings that made my PHPstorm good enough to work with it again. Here is my snapshot of vmoptions file [crayon-5997e8b17d66a846665616/] My problem was made worse by font rendering issue that Java has, thus settings -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd -Dawt.java2d.opengl=true ;<-- we are just enabling Java2D OpenGL Hardware Acceleration here so to speed up You can also enable xrender setting to see if that helps, here is my updated vmoptions file. [crayon-5997e8b17d676508415514/] You should tune Java heaps and cache settings depending on your project. Higher … [Read more...]

The Waratahs are readying themselves for the fiercest of battles when they take on a fired-up Highlanders without their workhorse captain Dave Dennis in Sydney this weekend.
Dennis' worst fears were confirmed on Sunday with scans revealing he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg late in the first half of the Waratahs' 36-8 rout of the Brumbies and would undergo surgery this week, ruling him out of rugby for the year.
The injury overshadowed an important win for NSW and was heartbreaking news for the 28-year-old back-rower, who was hoping a comeback from consecutive knee reconstructions early in his professional career would add years on at the back end of it.
It has for a time, and Cheika said he was confident his captain would be back at full training by January, with Test captain Michael Hooper stepping in for the remainder of the season.
Dennis' no-nonsense leadership helped transform the Waratahs from Super Rugby under-achievers to humble and hard-working title favourites over the past two seasons.
But in a show of toughness of which the Richmond-raised Waratah would be proud, veteran team mate Wycliff Palu vowed the side would take a business-as-usual approach to Sunday's match at Allianz Stadium.
''We'll just go out and play the way we play and if we win, we win, and if we lose, we lose,'' Palu said.
''We'll just try to play the way we play and that's all we've got to think about.''
It is the attitude that has put the Waratahs at the top of the Super Rugby ladder and in commanding charge of the Australian conference. If they can win the next two matches it will ensure them a week off during the qualifying finals and a home semi-final. For a team that has not dropped a home game this season, that is a big carrot.
Even in 2008, the year many involved with the 2005 finals campaign believed was their best chance ever, the Waratahs were not dealt such favourable cards.
But it is their captain's determined wish that the side keep their focus now, despite the upheaval.
''I'll expect the attitude of the guys when they come in again on Monday to be as good as it has been over the last couple of months around performance and doing everything wecan to win [on] on Sunday,'' Dennis said after the Brumbies win.
''We spoke tonight that although it was a good result we can be a lot better. There's still a lot of drive within the playing group to be a better fooball team.
''I think we need to be and hopefully next week you'll see an even better performance.''
There is the practical matter of Dennis's replacement. Mitchell Chapman will be drafted back into the side after his return from an ankle injury, with he and Stephen Hoiles the most likely candidates with the necessary lineout calling skills.
Palu, in career-best form for the Waratahs and Wallabies this season, was centimetres from his captain and also trying to tackle Brumbies winger Henry Speight when Dennis' knee gave way.
''I heard him screaming a bit and I didn't feel too good because I didn't know if it was my fault or what it was,'' he said.
''He's our captain and stuff but he's a big part of our team, just having him around. You saw it when he came off, there was a bit of a drop in concentration.''
The Waratahs are as close as they have ever been in three years. Captain or no, they will have to find a way.
''A key for us this season is the depth we've got. I'm sure whoever steps up will do the job.''

Low-Fat Peachy Oatmeal Muffins
Recipe by Karen..
This is a yummy Low-Fat good-for-you snack! About 150 calories and less than 2 grams of fat each, so go ahead and indulge :)
Top Review by Kree6528
I'm sorry, but I can't give these a higher rating, either. Without any spices in the batter, the muffins turned out very bland. I'm just wondering, is the recipe correct? Because I agree with BostonMark that they might be a lot better with some cinnamon and/or nutmeg mixed in with the dry ingredients. The muffins tasted a little better slathered with butter, but that defeats the purpose of them being low fat! Sorry, Karen, but I would not make these again as is.

DORCHESTER Town chief Phil Simkin admitted his side were fortunate to come away with a point from Saturday's clash against Staines.
The performance may not have been on a par with those of recent weeks, but Simkin was pleased to see the Magpies get something out of a game when they weren't at their best.
Louie Theophanous put Staines ahead late in the first half before the hosts equalised in the 78th minute courtesy of a Nick Crittenden penalty – the midfielder's second goal in as many matches.
"I thought we were lucky to get a point, but I'm glad we did," said a relieved Simkin after the final whistle at the Avenue.
"We haven't played well but we've come out of it with a point, whereas before we would have lost.
"It's another point on a day when we could well have got nothing, and again Critts has pulled it out of the bag.
"We had too many off their game, but, allowing for that, we dug in, took a gamble with three at the back and it paid off.
"I wasn't prepared to go with three at the back any longer once we'd scored because we were so open to players who could pick the ball up and run at us.
"We were glad to hear the final whistle because we weren't playing well.
"They dealt with the pitch better than we did and we had too many not on their game."
Defender Jake McCarthy (pictured) finally made his Dorchester debut on Saturday following a frustrating couple of months on the sidelines.
Having joined on loan from Bournemouth in January, McCarthy injured an ankle in training without kicking a ball for the Magpies.
Simkin praised the way he fitted into the side and highlighted the performance of goalkeeper Alan Walker-Harris.
"For his first game, I thought Jake McCarthy did very well," he added. "I thought Alan Walker-Harris was excellent, and has been excellent in the last few weeks.
"He took some great crosses and his handling was good, a bit like he was before his bad injury.
"He's getting back to that and he's very fit and lean, and he's doing ever so well for us."
Meanwhile, Jamie Gleeson will see a chiropractor this week after sitting out the game due to a pelvic problem picked up in training last Thursday.
Dorchester can make it four Skrill South games unbeaten when they host Boreham Wood on Saturday (3pm).

- A cutaway shows Peter working out in "Richard Simmons' Sweatin' to Books on Tape," a parody of Simmons' Sweatin' to the Oldies series of exercise videos. The book on tape is Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom.
- When encouraging Joe not to quit, Peter mentions several setbacks in the life of President George W. Bush, including his 1966 arrest for drunk and disorderly conduct, his 1976 DUI conviction, "losing millions of dollars of his father's friends' money in failed oil companies" and losing the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election. Peter also mentions that Bush "knock[ed] that girl up," although no journalists found evidence that Bush had impregnated any woman prior to the conception of his twin daughters.
- After the money clip is claimed, Stewie's cries imitate those of Peanuts character Charlie Brown.
- When Stewie is waking up from the fight over the money, he refers to Seinfeld with how he should not have to split the bill because he only got soup.
- After Joe tells the kids they should post a sign about the money, a carhop brings him an enormous side of ribs, a la the opening of "The Flintstones." This scene refers to a similar Flintstones episode where Wilma made Fred put an ad in the paper for money he supposedly found.
- When Chris, Meg, and Stewie are struggling over the money clip, the room is illuminated intermittently by lightning flashes coming through the window. The scene is reminiscent of the life and death struggle between Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, and the psychic Helga Ten Dorp from the 1982 film Deathtrap.

Don't Try Aerosmith On Idol
That is what Steven Tyler is telling contestants on this years American Idol.
Steven Tyler was recently asked by TMZ if contestants on this years American idol would get bonus points for covering one of his many tunes from Aerosmith. His answer, don't even try it. Though it would take a big set to step out in front of the lead singers of rocks biggest band and try and do better than him. He was also asked about if Jennifer Lopez had problems with people covering her songs to which he replied, has anyone done that yet?
Gotta love Steven. Right now he believes that he has both the time and energy to do American Idol and front Aersosmith. Bassist Tom Hamilton seems to think otherwise. He told the Boston Herald that Steven is the kind of guy that likes to think he can do everything.
He's taken a big bite, and I'm looking forward to seeing him chew it.
-Tome Hamilton (Aerosmith)
It seems like most of the guys in Aerosmith are pretty annoyed with Tyler's involvement in the glorified talent show. Joe perry voiced his opinion over the summer and now it seems like the rest of the guys are coming out with their own displeasure.

One of the challenges of being the photographer and the model is getting the camera far enough away to capture the angle of view you a shooting for while still being able to control the camera. Often times is will use a combination of tripod, remotes and timers. Other times, as readers likely know, I use the low tech solution of keeping my arm stretched out as far as I can without dropping the camera. This past week I put a little time into fleshing out a pole mount for the camera.
Version 1.0 has been going pretty well. Materials list includes; 1/4 – 20 all thread, a piece of scrap dowel and a couple of cinch nuts to keep the mount secure at the camera end. It is a little whippy, but more than stout enough for the GoPro. The bend in the first picture is cold set using an old 26″ wheel as a mandrel. The length works well for the Xtracycle. I am not sure how to carry it on my other bikes, and now I have a shorter version on the project list as well as a stouter model for the GF1

Open for boating Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, the reservoir is situated in a valley that is bordered to the west by the Del Dios highway. The reservoir has three forks: the dam to the south-west, the mangrove type marsh to the south-east, and the freeway to the north east. There are several 'no-wake' zones situated in convenient locations close to the shoreline, and they provide for a nice, calm paddling experience.
My most recent adventure took me to the eastern fork, where there is a hidden creek that feeds the lake. The creek is small; however, it seems like a mangrove swamp once you start traveling inward, and provides for some great photo opportunities.
If you do intend to travel to the south eastern creek, I would recommend staying on the southern shoreline for the duration, as the lake can be quite windswept due to it being situated in a valley.

Contained Places
is a prefecture located in the Kansai region on Honshu, the main island of Japan. The capital is the city of Osaka. It is the center of Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto area. Osaka Prefecture is one of the two urban prefectures of Japan, Kyoto Prefecture being the other (Tokyo is considered a "metropolitan prefecture" rather than an urban prefecture).
Until the Meiji Restoration, the area of Osaka prefecture was known as Kawachi, Izumi, and Settsu provinces.
Osaka Prefecture was created on June 21, 1868, at the very beginning of the Meiji era. During the instigation of Fuhanken Sanchisei in 1868, the prefecture received its suffix fu, designating it as an urban prefecture.
On September 1, 1956, the city of Osaka was promoted to a city designated by government ordinance and thereby divided into 24 wards.
In 2000, Fusae Ota became Japan's first female governor when she replaced Knock Yokoyama, who resigned after prosecution for sexual harassment.
On April 1, 2006: the city of Sakai was promoted to a city designated by government ordinance and thereby divided into seven wards.
In 2008, Tōru Hashimoto, previously famous as a counselor on television, was elected at the age of 38 as the youngest governor in Japan.
In 2010, the Osaka Restoration Association was created with backing by Governor Tōru Hashimoto, attempting to reform Osaka Prefecture into Osaka Metropolis reducing affiliated organizations of Osaka Prefecture and the City of Osaka.
In the 2011 local elections the association was able to win the majority of the prefectural seats.

How I Met Your Mother.
Thought on episode 24?
Were you surprised to see Robin in the room?
I was told this was the very last episode. Yet I now see there are some sites saying it was picked up for season 8.
I'm not sure how I felt about Robin and Barney ending up together. At first I was annoyed/pissed. Robin had been off & on so much with Ted and him that I lost track. And then when Ted asked if Barney was ok if he tried things again with Robin and Barney said it was fine. It seemed sincere, like he was completely over Robin.
Clearly I'm far too invested into some silly TV show

text: I'd also like to remind you that during this call today, we may discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and distributable cash flow. With regard to such financial measures, please refer to our earnings release for a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures.Now I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Stan Horton. Stanley C. Horton Thank you, Allison. Good morning, everyone. I hope you've had a chance to review the press release we issued this morning. In addition to reporting earnings, we increased our quarterly distribution to $53.25 per unit or $2.13 per unit annualized. This morning, I'm going to provide a brief industry and commercial update, and then Jamie will review the financial results and provide an update on our financing activities. As everyone who follows this industry is well aware, natural gas prices are trading in the $2 range, a range we've not seen in more than a decade. These low gas prices are a result of the warmest winter in 80 years, combined with robust gas supply. These conditions have had both a positive and negative impacts to our business. Our utilization-driven revenues were negatively impacted by lower gas prices and lower throughput due to the warm winter weather. However, like storage operators everywhere, the warm winter has resulted in storage inventory levels that are much higher than normal this time of year. These high storage inventory levels, combined with extremely low gas prices at the front of the NYMEX curve, are currently producing parking and lending spreads that are far more favorable than last year. Couple of things to note about parking and lending: first, a large portion of these transactions are typically entered into after the withdrawal season is complete; and second, parking and lending revenues are recognized across the entire time frame of the transaction, which can often span a year in duration. Therefore, although parking and lending revenues did not significantly increase in the first quarter, we are encouraged by the spreads we're seeing in the market right now.

Over the weekend came a story of a Catholic refugee from war-torn Yugoslavia, who comes to the U.S., assumes a menial but honorable job at a prestigious Ivy League university, and eventually gets his college degree with honors.
The New York Post reports:
A refugee from war-torn Yugoslavia, he eked out a living working for the Ivy League school. But Sunday was payback time: The 52-year-old janitor donned a cap and gown to graduate with a bachelor's degree in classics.
As a Columbia employee, he didn't have to pay for the classes he took. His favorite subject was the Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca, the janitor said during a break from his work at Lerner Hall, the student union building he cleans.
"I love Seneca's letters because they're written in the spirit in which I was educated in my family — not to look for fame and fortune, but to have a simple, honest, honorable life," he said.
His graduation with honors capped a dozen years of studies, including readings in ancient Latin and Greek.

|The audience picture for news magazines varies markedly.
The magazines we refer to as the nontraditional titles — The Economist, the New Yorker and The Week — are seeing their circulations grow, in some cases rapidly, and some are aiming to increase print circulation even more.
Yet the most conventional titles — Time, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report — continue to struggle to hold on to readers and may be moving away from print in trying different strategies to win audience.
As a result, some publications may try to move to a new way to measure audience and sell ads, one that looks at readership rather than circulation, with the goal of trying to combine print readership and Web visits.
Even such a new mode, however, is not all good news for the stalwart titles. The readership surveys they hope will boost their audience numbers also reveal that those audiences, while wealthier than the overall population, are also older. Meanwhile, their less traditional challengers in the field are reaching an audience that is young and even wealthier.
Time It Is a-Changin'… but How Much?
The shifting approaches to news magazines' audiences were most dramatically signaled in the moves by the biggest, Time. It announced three major steps in 2006, all of which are expected to play out in the coming year.
First, Time announced that it was deliberately cutting the number of subscribers it promises to deliver to advertisers (its so-called rate base) by 750,0001, while also raising its newsstand price. (Newsweek, the other big player, later raised its cover price to $4.95 as well, but has not as yet cut its rate base)
Then Time announced a new delivery day, Friday, replacing its longstanding newsstand day of Monday. That change coincided with a shift in content toward review and analysis of the week's news rather than trying to break stories. That task, Time said, would be left to its Web site. (The announcements followed on U.S. News's pledge in 2005 to focus more on Web content.) Time also said the move to Friday might help it add advertisements aimed at weekend shoppers.
Potentially the most far-reaching change, however, came in the new way Time said it wants to measure audience. The magazine wants to move away from circulation completely as a metric and turn instead to overall readership. To measure that, it intends to use online surveys from the firm Mediamark, a demographic research company.
Focusing on the readership numbers rather than circulation would create a radically different image of the reach of Time — as well as Newsweek and U.S. News. Time's 4 million2 in print circulation yields about 22 million readers3 according to MRI data. (Newsweek's 3.1 in circulation4, meanwhile, nets 19 million readers5 and U.S. News's 2 million6 gives it 11 million readers7). Those reader numbers would presumably be adjusted upward if Web readers were added to the mix, though how much is not clear. Time says the move is "the first step toward our ultimate goal of measuring the combined audience of our multi-media brand." But at the start, the readership numbers generated from the survey will be based on print-only readership. Advertisers, meanwhile, can choose between Time's reduced subscriber number or that print readership figure.
If the shift to measuring the magazine's combined audience is successful, and, soon, Time begins to sell ads based on its combined print and online audience it will move Time toward being less a magazine than that new thing in media, "a multi-platform content provider," – one with an audience that is potentially much larger than anything measured in traditional circulation figures. If advertisers accept the changes and show an interest in buying cross-platform ads, other magazines may follow suit and turn their attention to focusing more heavily on the Web. But those remain big ifs.
While the changes at Time are dramatic – they were in the early stages as 2007 began – and could potentially change the business structure of the news magazine field. But some kind of large-scale moves were not a complete surprise. They represent a considered response to a major structural challenge.
The Big Three traditional news weeklies have been struggling for years to maintain circulation. While they welcomed even small bumps in audience, there was a law of diminishing returns. The magazines were paying to keep those numbers up through promotions and discounts. Some subscriptions have even come through third parties who offer deep discounts and capture a big part of the actual fees from the subscribers.
For the big weeklies, that was acceptable, if sometimes painful, because it meant big circulation numbers that allowed them to keep ad rates high. But as the Internet posed greater challenges, the cost of maintaining circulation rose. And the value of a big print circulation also has to be weighed against the costs of printing and mailing the issues of the magazines, both of which have risen.
Numbers Dip Again for the Biggest Titles
In 2006, Time and Newsweek were both slightly up in audited circulation — the first small bump each had seen in a few years – but essentially flat. U.S. News also saw a small bump, its second consecutive, but was still below its numbers from 2003.8
In general, all these magazines have seen flat circulation for the past several years. And experts note that the figures would likely be declining if the weeklies did not fight hard to keep the figures up by offering subscribers big discounts.
At the close of 2006, Time's circulation was 4.066 million, up from 4.026 million in 2005.9 That's a small increase, less than 1%, and even with the bump there were problems for the magazine. First, Time was only 66,000 ahead of the 4 million in circulation it promises its advertisers. That suggests a struggle to stay above that critical line, and is a likely factor in the reduction in the rate base. Second, the 2006 circulation number, while an increase over 2004 and 2005, was lower than any other figure we had seen for Time between 1988 and 2003.10
The audience news for Newsweek appears to be on a similar path. Again, the increase was very small, to 3.118 million in 2006 from 3.117 million the year before, also less than 1%.11 But that total, was the second lowest circulation number recorded for the magazine in the time for which we have data – 2005 was the lowest. The figure places Newsweek just 18,000 in circulation above its rate base of 3.1 million and may lead the magazine to consider cutting its base somewhat, if not as dramatically as Time.
And while U.S. News circulation was up for the second straight year in 2006, the moves were very small and the figures don't seem to bode any better for long-term trends. The publication continued to bump along at right about the 2 million mark. Its 2.036 million for 2006 was an increase of 2,000 over 2005, less than 1%.12 Since 2000, U.S. News has hovered right around its rate base of 2 million — staying between 2.086 million and 2.022 million. One question is, were Newsweek to cut its base, would U.S. News follow in order to save on its cost of maintaining that circulation?
The future for both magazines may rest with Time, the leader now not just in audience but in the way it wants Madison Avenue to think about audience. If Time is successful in its move toward using readership — including Web readership — as its base for ad rates, that could amount to a revolution, one that others, it seems, including the newspaper industry, would likely try to follow.
It is also possible, ironically, that U.S. News or other publications may be best situated to capitalize on the proposed new measurement. Time is in the midst of figuring out exactly what its more Web-based approach will look like. Newsweek, for the time being anyway, is primarily relying on its connection to MSNBC for its Web traffic. But U.S. News already had a jump on trying to focus on the Web, announcing its intent in 2005. And its heavy "news you can use" content, full of information on colleges, graduate programs, hospitals, etc., already has something of a database feel on parts of its site.
Users of U.S. News's site have to pay for those premiums, but they could be used to drive traffic and Web ads. The broader online-and-print readership measurement model also opens the door for some other publication — one that may not be burdened with the costs of a print structure — to enter the field.
The Audiences for the Other News Titles
The shifts proposed by Time stand in marked contrast to the story of the nontraditional new weeklies. Magazines like The Economist, the New Yorker and The Week are not only seeing growth in the circulation of their print products, they are actively aiming for more.
Some are aggressively seeking to expand, such as The Economist, and some are growing more "organically," as The Week's editor, Bill Falk, puts it. And some of them are doing it while charging more for their publications than the big weeklies.
Whatever their approach, they offer evidence that, first, print is not yet dead, and second, that hard circulation numbers can still be desirable. "Even in the dawning Web era," Falk wrote to PEJ in an e-mail, "there is a role for a print magazine that is edited for the way busy people live today."
Consider the differences in the circulation of these titles over the past five years. In 2000, Time, Newsweek and U.S. News had a combined circulation of about 9.3 million. By contrast, The Economist and the New Yorker in 2000 had a combined circulation of about 1.2 million.13 That was a ratio of about 8 to 1.
For 2006, the three traditional weeklies, after Time's cuts, will show a combined print circulation of about 8.4 million.14 The Economist, the New Yorker and The Week will be more than 2.1 million15 over all. That is a ratio of less than 4 to 1. Looked at that way, in six years the alternative news weeklies will have cut the print dominance of the Big Three almost by half.
The fastest-growing of the alternatives is The Week, the publication owned by the British company Dennis Publishing that edits news accounts from other organizations into short capsules for readers. From 2005 to 2006, The Week added over 75,000 in circulation, climbing to 443,952 from 366,758 — an increase of 21%.16 And the magazine's rate base has was bumped up to 400,000 in 2006, a rise of 100,000 over it 2005 base. That kind of increase allows the magazine to increase what it's charging for ads. The numbers are even more impressive when one considers that it was launched in 2001.
The news magazine world's other British import, The Economist, also had another good year, climbing over the half-million mark in U.S. circulation for the first time in its history. As of December 2006, it had a circulation of 639,205, a gain of roughly 70,000, or 12%, from 569,366 in 2005.17 That growth, moreover, follows a long-term trend. The Economist has seen its U.S. audience grow in each of the 17 years for which we have data — a feat unmatched by any of the other titles we follow. And it has made known its desire to reach 1 million, in large part because as an English-language magazine, if considers the U.S. a critical market.
The New Yorker similarly continued its upward trajectory in 2006. The title, which broke the million mark in 2005, rose to 1.067 million in 2006 from 1.051 the year before — an increase of over 16,000, or about 1.5%.18 That figure is an all-time high.
As we have noted in recent years, the New Yorker has become "newsier" as it has grown, an approach that, among other things, may have helped draw a different crop of readers to its pages. But with its focus on long pieces, the arts, poetry and New York and Washington, the New Yorker is also a magazine for elites. How high can an elite circulation climb?
Jet magazine, aimed at African Americans, saw a down 2006. Circulation dropped to 901,594, down from 948,694 in 2005 — a decrease of about 47,000, or about 5%.19 That 2006 figure, however, was still above 2004 – 2002 circulation numbers — and just above its rate base of 900,000.
After a few years of deliberately trimming circulation, The Atlantic, the only monthly we measure, is sitting right at the cusp of 400,000. Its 2006 circulation of 404,688 was just slightly up from the title's 2005 number of 403,636 – an increase of less than 1%.20
It's not yet clear how far The Atlantic intends to cut circulation, but the number it promised advertisers may provide a hint. As of April 2005, the rate base was only 355,000.21 That means there is still room for further cuts. The strategy is intriguing, considering the jumps at other highbrow titles like the New Yorker and The Economist. Bradley has stated in the past that his goal is to shrink the magazine's circulation and aim for a more exclusive niche.
Behind all the changing fortunes, the differentiation of "traditional" from "nontraditional" news magazines may be getting less and less salient. If Time indeed is moving more toward commentary, the New Yorker has moved more toward breaking news.
In turn the three traditional news weeklies, so long noted for their similarities, in time may be more notable for their differences.
Who Are the Readers?
News magazine readers continue to represent something of an elite audience. They are wealthier than the U.S. population at large, according to reader surveys by Mediamark Research. In 1997 (the first year The Atlantic joined the Mediamark survey) the average household income of news magazine readers was $50,807, compared to $39,035 for the general population, a spread of 30% and more than $11,000. By 2005 news magazine readers' average household income was $67,000, compared to $51,466 for the general population, still a 30% gap but a difference in dollars of more than $15,000.22 23
Along with that pattern, which advertisers might consider good news, news magazines also do not skew quite as old as many other media. Over all, news magazine audiences are consistently about two years older than the U.S. population. From 1997 to 2005, the median age of the news weekly readers in the survey went from 44.1 to 46.3.24 The median U.S. adult population in that time went from 41.8 years old to 44.25 Most other news sectors have average audiences ages of over 50. For network news, the average is roughly 60.
Readership data also suggest that there may be some market for younger audiences here.
For the first time since we have kept track, Mediamark has added The Economist to its survey, and the results are surprising. The Economist has the youngest audience of any of the news magazines we examine — at 40.1 years old it's even younger than Jet's 41.4 — and it is the richest audience as well, with a household income of $96,257 that easily outstrips The Atlantic's $83,984.26
The bad news is that both of those titles have small readerships (as distinct from circulation) compared to the biggest news magazines. The Economist, for example, has about 1.7 million readers, but Time has more than 22 million and Newsweek more than 19 million.27 That suggests that if there is a young news audience out there, it may be a small one, and it may be going off in its own direction away from the more mass-audience titles. It also may further explain why Time wants to push readership, if the number of different people who see each copy of the magazine — the so-called pass-along rate — is so high.
The Economist's demographic numbers, nonetheless, represent a departure from the structure of the Mediamark survey numbers in the past. Generally it was the older titles that had wealthier readers, with the oldest, The Atlantic — average age over 50, average income over $80,000 — as case in point.28
Those addition of the Economist's readers to the survey on the one hand raise the median household income of news magazines readers to $70,409 for 2006— more than $28,000 above the median U.S. household income, according to Mediamark. That figure would be by the far the largest difference we have measured. The Economist readers would also put the median age of news magazine readers at 45.6 years old, putting it closer to the national median of 44.3 years than it has been since 2003.29
Those numbers might only serve to show how little such overall averages mean. Two magazines sit below the national age median — Jet with a median average age of 41.4 and The Economist with a median of 40.1. All the other news titles we measure are above it. (Incidentally, The Week, which isn't yet included in the Mediamark survey, has a subscriber median income of $93,000 and an average age of 48. Again, though, those figures are for subscribers, not for readers — reader numbers include a much broader base of people and generally skew younger and less wealthy.)30
There are a many lingering questions about the future of news magazine audiences going into 2007. Will Time's Web strategy and new delivery day have an impact on its audience? And, perhaps more importantly, how will advertisers react to Time's audience-tallying approach? Will the smaller nontraditional magazines pay any heed to Time's moves? Right now these titles are seeing growth and seem more than happy to stick with traditional audience measures and hard-copy publications. Will one approach win out? Is it in fact an either/or proposition?
The answers may not emerge in the next year. But they hold promise in time of reshaping the news magazine field.

The Adult filter is an experiment in opt-in filtering. When an author publishes a book, we ask them to specify whether or not they believe their book is suitable for readers under the age of 18. This is for the protection of our under-18 users and as a courtesy to adult users who find such material offensive. Anyone who has their adult filter on will not be presented with adults-only books in browsing or search results. The adult filter can be switched off by clicking the link that says "adult filter is ON" in the upper-right corner of the page.
Please note that adults-only can mean many things. When browsing with the adult filter on, you not only filter out books with adult language, scenes, and sex, but you also filter out some books with no sexual content whatsoever.
In 2017, we updated this feature by adding a third option that allows you to browse adult-flagged content, while still filtering out content found in the "Erotica" categories at Smashwords.
The filtering only applies to book listings, including our home page, the various category listings (e.g., "Fiction"), search results, and tag queries.
Apart from being filtered out of book listings, books marked adults-only will continue to be accessible, and a warning will continue to be displayed on the book's info page, below the description/synopsis. Anyone browsing with the adult filter on can still go to a specific book's page if they know its direct link.
As first-time visitors to the site may be children, the the adult filter is on by default for all new users and for anyone who is not logged in. We get inquiries every day from authors wondering why their friend, mom, etc. couldn't find their book on Smashwords by searching for it and always the reason is because their book was marked adults-only. You can give the direct link to your book (copy the URL from your browser's address bar when looking at your book's page) to your friends and this will take them directly to your book, without regard to the adult filter.

Sillevis, W. de Jonge, W. Laanstra, Johan Antoni de Jonge (1864-1927), Hilversum 2000, cat.no. AS-26, illustrated on p.13, p.83 and on the cover; the drawing illustrated on p.83 CATALOGUE NOTE Jonkheer Johan Antoni de Jonge was born in 1864 in Rotterdam in a milieu which afforded him socially and artistically the opportunity to develop in harmony with his natural talents. His mother Elisabeth Philipse, a talented artist, had a great influence on her son, witnessed by the many drawings they made for one another. Johan studied law in Leiden, but indulged his hobby by attending courses at the Academie Voor Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague, where he was taught by Frits Jansen and Fridolin Becker. Amongst his fellow students were Frits Maris, Willem de Zwart, Willem Roelofs jr. and Willem Weissenbruch. After finishing his studies De Jonge settled as a lawyer in The Hague, but soon gave up this profession to fully devote himself to painting and aiding his fellow-man. He held many functions on boards for social and ecclesiastical organizations. His artistic creativity remained throughout his life. The latitude shows that painting for him was a daily occupation. He sought subjects around ?Vreugd en Rust?, the family estate in Voorburg, and in nature; the dunes and the atmosphere of the beach held a special fascination. He drew inspiration from his trips to Scheveningen and carried these impressions back to his studio in The Hague, where he "produced a series of delicate and charming, but also lively and characteristic portraits and scenes showing people at work and play" (Elka Schrijver, TheBurlington Magazine, 1978, p. 186). Some of his favourites subjects were children in the breakers, families in and around beehive chairs, paddling children and beach carriages. He sometimes even painted on the spot and his many nephews and nieces acted as models. This wonderful watercolour is one of the best examples of these beach scenes depicting careless summer days at the sea shore. The sunlight radiates through the children's hair and enriches the colours of their clothing and hats. Mothers and maids remain near at hand while the children paddle and play with a fishing net, a little dog or a spade. Such bright and colourful compositions with blue skies, white and blue clothing, blond hair and red cheeks radiate an enormous joy in life. Clearly this joy in life was innate to the painter. A discovery indeed: Jan de Jonge, un petit maître of great distinction? (Elka Schrijver, The Burlington Magazine, Jan de Jonge, July 1978, p 186)

New Challenges for Claims Processing
Healthcare Insurance providers are facing many challenges adapting their in-house systems to comply with the new legislative requirements and infrastructures created by the 2014 Affordable Healthcare Act. Not only is there a shift to a value-based care delivery system, but the Affordable Healthcare Act and State Exchanges have introduced complex processes, communication protocols, and improved governance and management requirements.
In addition, the new ICD-10 coding requirements that will become effective on October 1, 2015 increase the level of complexity by changing the code formats and adding approximately 140,000 new procedure and diagnosis codes.
Identify Incorrect EDI 837 Claim Formats Before Submission
For healthcare insurance providers, the claim submission and management processes have always presented challenges, despite the standardization of the EDI 837 Claims format. To help healthcare insurance providers meet and overcome this challenge, Prolifics is working with an industry-leading healthcare claims transaction provider to give organizations the ability to identify, fix, and validate incorrectly formatted EDI 837 Claims transactions before they are submitted - with our Smarter Claims Processing solution.
The Prolifics Smarter Claims Processing solution for EDI 837 Claim transactions can be implemented in as little as 12 weeks, so healthcare insurance providers can realize the benefits of a better claim submission and management process in a fairly short amount of time.

After a long two-week grind in the Crown Casino poker room, the 2011 Aussie Millions marquee event has come to a close with a Main Event Champion being crowned!
Although three events have still yet to be completed, the final hand of the Main Event effectively wraps up another successful Aussie Millions that has definitely lived up to its motto of, We've seen your poker tournament, and we've raised ours.
721 players took to the felt in this year's main event over the three day one flights and just over a third of them would survive to a day two berth with poker superstars such as Team Full Tilt Poker members Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Erick Lindgren and Chris Ferguson being just the cream of the crop that turned out to make at the money.
Ivey and Ferguson all found themselves on the rail along with countless of others as we fell just a few places short of the money at the close of play. Returning on day three we were quickly into the money as players jostled for position as the likes of locals Haibo Chu (56th), John Dalessandri (55th), Nik Lackovic (54th), Karib Karib (50th), Michael Guttman (45th), Emanuel Seal (25th) and Matthew Kirk (20th), and internationals Carter Phillips (equal 72nd), Mike Sowers (40th), Lederer (34th), Lindgren (33rd), Gabe Patgorski (32nd) and Elliot Smith (23rd) all were unable to survive to the penultimate day.
As eighteen remained, action would be fast and exciting as Mark Vos (18th), Tobias Reinkemeier (17th), Randy Lew (10th) and Sorel Mizzi (9th) all fell short of a preliminary final table of eight. Although being set early in the night, play was paused after chips were circled round so that the remaining could have a well-earned rest before returning today - one of the most important days in their poker career.
Refreshed and revitalized, the final eight battled to-and-fro with overnight chip leader Randy Dorfman eventually relinquishing his lead before the dangerous Patrik Antonius was sent to the rail in eighth after having his pocket kings outflopped. Small pots brewed and a second dealer was added to speed up play as David Gorr's chip stack surged over the five-million mark as Englishmen Chris Moorman and Sam Razavi found themselves on the rail.
Although arriving at the final table as the man to catch, Dorfman's day was one that never saw him gain any real momentum as he was soon bumped to the rail in fifth place when an ace spiked on the river to crack his pocket tens in a blind-on-blind battle with Gorr. Michael Ryan would see a similar fate with his pocket pair as players went to dinner with chips at one of the most evenest points of the final table.
Eleven hands later we would be at heads up play once Jeff Rossiter called Gorr's river shove only to be shown the nut flush before he mucked. Two men were left - a young up-and-comer from England, and the other a poker stalwart in this region - as James Keys was held in a near six-to-one disadvantage against Gorr. Play would circle round-and-round with the two exchanging chips at a rapid pace as the duel dealers worked extremely hard keeping up with the blistering pace. 100 hands went by with Keys edging slightly closer before a few massive hands saw him capture the lead with his two-pair versus top-pair and gutshot as Gorr was now struggling at a twelve-to-one disadvantage.
The ever resilient Gorr however would fight his way back into the match and eventually snatch the lead back after fifty-three more hand before just four more hands would be all that was needed for Gorr to be crowned the 2011 Aussie Millions Champion and recipient of the coveted crystal trophy, gold bracelet and AUD$2,000,000 first prize.
For someone that holds results dating back to 1998, this is Gorr's first major title, and there is no better way to mark it with a win in his hometown casino and arguably the greatest tournament in the southern hemisphere. Throughout the tournament Gorr displayed great traits of patience, experience and ability beyond his years to zig and zag his way through one of the toughest fields ever assembled down under.
PokerNews would like to congratulate David Gorr on a fantastically played tournament that is without doubt the icing on the cake of a career that has seen him grind out results all around the Australasia region.
For the PokerNews Live Reporting Team, we still have three events (two currently playing, and one starting tomorrow) of the 2011 Aussie Millions that we will be providing exclusive live coverage of. Until then, make sure to stay glued to PokerNews.com for all your poker updates from around the world! And until the next tournament, we hope your aces meet kings, flushes best straights and triple-barrel bluffs go uncalled!

State of Iowa submits appeal to FEMA for denial of disaster aid
(DES MOINES) – Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad today announced the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD) submitted an appeal to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the reconsideration of an earlier FEMA decision to deny funding to four rural electric cooperatives (REC) in northwest Iowa in the aftermath of an ice storm that struck the state earlier this year.
The April 9, 2013, storm caused millions of dollars in damage to electrical utility lines in five Iowa counties: Dickinson, Lyon, O'Brien, Osceola and Sioux. The damage was so extensive that a Presidential Disaster Declaration was issued on May 6, 2013.
FEMA originally denied funding to restore the downed utility lines in the amount of $19 million on Aug. 30, 2013. The reason FEMA gave for the denial was because the utilities did not conduct "comprehensive laboratory testing."
"We hope FEMA will come to a fair and just decision regarding this REC appeal," said Governor Terry Branstad. "This funding is important for the recovery of Iowa communities. Denying such assistance could result in a financial burden for the customers of these cooperatives."
HSEMD filed the appeal in conjunction with Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative, Lyon Rural Electric Cooperative, Osceola Electric Cooperative, and Sanborn Electric and Telecommunications Utility. FEMA has 90 days from the date they receive the appeal to make an evaluation and then, issue a determination.
The Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management leads, coordinates and supports homeland security and emergency management functions in order to establish sustainable communities and ensure economic opportunities for Iowa and its citizens.

Sitting inside the Center for Cross Cultural Learning in Rabat, Morocco, Ithaca's Martin Luther King Jr. scholars were immersed in a new, exciting, and radically different culture. During this service-learning trip, we carried ourselves as the global citizens and agents for social change that we strive to be as MLK scholars.
Yet at times culture shock set in, and we were forced to closely examine our perceptions and preconceived notions of such a different way of life. During a question and answer session with students from Mohammed V University in Rabat, one Moroccan student asked us if, as Americans, we felt any fear coming to a Muslim country. Our answer, while shameful and uncomfortable, was yes.
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a culture of fear has been created in the U.S., causing even well-educated Americans to associate Muslims with terrorism. As MLK scholars, we have spent years studying the racial oppression of African-Americans, Latinos, and other racial minorities, and we were quickly forced to face our own prejudices and stereotypes when traveling in a Muslim country.
The author at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain
Each January, the MLK scholars participate in an international travel trip to research issues of social justice and perform service work. Last year, we went to Granada, Spain, and then to Rabat, Morocco.
Before traveling, we prepared by participating in a course that focused on social justice and racial issues surrounding immigration from Morocco to Spain. Then each scholar chose a social justice issue to research in the countries we would visit.
We began our trip in Granada, where we focused on the history and current political and cultural situation of Moroccan immigration into Spain. While there we had the honor of listening to Esperanza Fornieles, a worker for the immigration group FUTURO, discuss politics, women's issues, race, and immigration in Spain. We visited the Mesquita de Granada, the largest mosque in Spain, and met a Muslim man and woman who live in Granada and work at the mosque. They discussed their struggles and the prejudices they endured as Muslims in a Christian country.
MLK scholars take a guided tour of a historical mosque in Rabat, Morocco.
Our trip from Spain to Morocco provided us perspectives into how these different cultures merge on the issue of immigration. We were also able to compare the political and social issues we learned about in Spain and Morocco to our own society in the United States.
Many of us found similarities between the racial and economic issues raised in Moroccan immigration to Spain and Mexican immigration to the United States. Because the border to Spain is so close to Morocco many Moroccans immigrate to Spain to find work. Just as Americans struggle with the identity and cultural issues that accompany the influx of Mexican workers, Spaniards also deal with the issues that arise when a different racial, religious, and cultural group enters their country.
In the end, it's the people we met who brought our research to life and made these international experiences enriching. A highlight of the trip for me was the chance to eat dinner in the home of a Moroccan family. Walking into the house, I was amazed by the intricate Muslim architecture and design that surrounded me. As fellow scholar Jaylene Clark '10 and I waited to be served, we sat in a large parlor eating Moroccan cookies that are traditionally served before the meal. The main dish was eaten with our bare hands. As we ate, we attempted to chat with our six hosts, only one of whom spoke English. The kindness and hospitality with which we were welcomed transcended the language barrier between us, however, and their warm smiles communicated a sense of understanding and friendship.
Researching and studying other cultures is important, but it simply can't compare to hearing firsthand accounts of life in Spain or Morocco. We now have a better understanding of the racial and religious struggles that Muslims face in Spain, Morocco, and even our own country. Through these travel experiences, my fellow scholars and I examined not only external prejudice but also the ways in which our own preconceived notions, especially as Americans, must be challenged. This perspective makes the world a smaller place and takes us one step closer to fulfilling Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.

Rockets star in Manila in July for NBA 3-on-3 challenge-A A +A
Sunday, June 16, 2013
HOUSTON Rockets stalwart James Harden will make his first of two trips to the Philippines this year in late July to help handle the 3-on-3 tournament of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Harden will be joined by 2009 All-Rookie Second Team selection Eric Gordon of the New Orleans Pelicans in running the clinic and interacting with fans of the event slated July 26 to 28 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall in Pasay City.
"I'm excited to return to the Philippines to be a part of NBA 3X," said Harden. "Filipinos have an unmatched passion for basketball and I look forward to meeting the fans and catching some of the best basketball talent the country has to offer."
Now on its third year, the 3-on-3 tournament features groups for boys aged under-18, under-16, and under-13, and for girls under-18 and under-16. There will also be an open category for both men and women.
Registration begins on Thursday on a first-come first-serve basis, and runs until July 12 or until all slots are full.
Last year, the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) was added as second venue after more than 250 teams were on the waiting list.
After the 3-on-3 event, Harden will be back in Manila in October for the pre-season match between the Rockets and Eastern Conference finalists Indiana Pacers at the SM MOA Arena. Tickets for the game, with the most expensive priced at P32,300, went on sale starting Sunday.
Harden paced the Rockets to their first playoff in four years, leading the team in scoring (26.33 points per game), assists (4.50 APG), and steals (2.00 SPG) during their postseason run.
He was in the Philippines in 2011, along with NBA stars such as Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose, as they went against the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) selection and national team Smart Gilas Pilipinas. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

NEWBURGH, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces that beginning Monday, December 3, traffic patterns will change on State Road 261 (S.R. 261) in Newburgh. It is anticipated that the shift in traffic will take place after the morning rush hour and may be postponed in the case of inclement weather.
Since October of 2011, all traffic has been maintained on the existing S.R. 261. Motorists will be shifted to the center lanes of the roadway from S.R. 66 to just north of Vann Road. From that area to Plank Road motorists will utilize the new south bound lanes of S.R. 261. One lane in each direction will be maintained at all times.
Contractor's crews will continue the construction of the expanded S.R. 261 from S.R. 66 to Plank Road. The $12.1 million dollar project includes upgrading S.R. 261 from three to five lanes (2 lanes in each direction with a center turn lane) from State Road 66 to Fuquay Road. From Fuquay, the roadway will be upgraded to three lanes (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane) to Old Plank Road. The roadway will then continue north as two lanes to Jenner Road and will have a dedicated turn lane into the Lake Ridge Subdivision with improved shoulders. The work also includes realignment of the Fuquay intersection with S.R. 261, sight distance improvements and a new stop light at the intersection of S.R. 261 and Peachwood Drive.
This project has a projected overall completion date of April 2014.
INDOT encourages motorists to slow down and pay special attention while traveling in work zones throughout Indiana. For the latest news and information about INDOT, please visit www.in.gov/indot and www.trafficwise.in.gov .

Beautiful handcrafted passive solar adobe home set in a rural environment. This is a fragrance free healthy nontoxic natural home with a small carbon footprint situated in Northern New Mexico close to many ancient Indian ruins. Withing 20 minutes to an hour you can visit Ojo Caliente Hot Springs, Ghost Ranch, Puye Cliff Dwellings, Bandalier National Park, Santa Fe, and Taos,
We have the cleanest air in the U.S. with brilliant skies. Experience awesome sunsets from the upstairs balcony.
We welcome all those who would like the experience of staying in a natural organic house powered by the sun with views of red cliffs.
I am a semi-retired general contractor. I grew up in Arizona and attended Arizona State University. I love living in Norther New Mexico and enjoy hiking, rafting and skiing. I enjoy meeting people from other parts of the U.S. and abroad. I can help you out with things to visit and great hikes nearby.
I cannot say enough about the property. My wife and I just returned home from a week in this house. We used it as a launching-off point to explore northern NM.
When we travel, we need to stay in places with kitchens as my wife has numerous severe food allergies so restaurant eating is just not an option in most cases. She also has allergies that are set off by strong scents and several common chemicals. Harvey understands this and was a great host and shares our concerns as green living and green building is important to him.
But the best part was never mentioned in any of the reviews of the property. The house has a large atrium that is perfect for breakfast. Just outside the atrium Harvey has set up a structure for the songbirds to roost and always has plenty of seed all around for them. Every morning, we sat and watched the birds and bunnies munching on the seed and suet while we planned our day. It was the perfect way to start each morning. We saw Cassin's Finches, Curve-Billed Thrashers, American Raven, Black-Headed Grosbeaks, and our favorites, two flocks of Scaled Quail.
Harvey is also very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and a blast to chat with.
We love the area and we will be back soon.
Harvey, if you read this, one small suggestion - every morning we saw at least one hummingbird but there is no feeder. If you build it, they will come.
The casita was cozy, clean and lovely with 360 degree views of the landscape. It would be an ideal place for a person or group seeking quiet beauty, reflection, and an experience of the local earth. The host was very friendly and eager to share knowledge of his home's green construction and conservation. He also directed us to local attractions that might otherwise been overlooked. Our family of three had a lovely time. Thank you, Harvey!
The Casita was everything we hoped for - peaceful setting and comfortable, eco-friendly accommodations. Owner Harvey was a pleasure to meet and his suggestions for local spots to explore were spot on!
Solar House is a home built with love and skill. Everything you need for a comfortable stay close to Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Georgia O'keefe House. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Night sky was amazing, great view from the rooftop terrace. Harvey was a gracious host, full of information about local hikes. Loved our few days at Solar House!
Our stay in this property was a wonderful opportunity to see and learn more about this region of New Mexico. The owner met us and showed us the property and offered tips on local hiking, which we used and thoroughly enjoyed. The house is a delightful space, very cozy and comfortable. The light and the spacious views of the surrounding hills were so pleasant when we ate our meals at the huge table overlooking the greenhouse and beyond. Everything we needed for meal preparation was provided with convenient storage and preparation areas. The appliances are full-sized and in great condition. In addition to the very large dining table, there are two smaller spots for meals in the greenhouse and on the patio. We especially enjoyed morning tea on the patio with at least two varieties of hummingbirds coming to feed. In the evenings we were always on the upstairs deck to watch the amazing sunsets and the thunderclouds of the monsoon season. The surroundings are quiet and private and the house is very pleasantly situated. We are definitely planning to visit again at this wonderful retreat.
The adobe home was simply amazing. The owner created a home that is off the grid and nature friendly. Hanging out in the hammock and listing to the evening rain was better than any prescription a doctor could ever give. From cool mornings and breath taking landscape scenes to colorful sunsets and the smell of sweet sage in the air, this is the perfect get away for a couple or a person looking to relax. Not to far away you can go explore some amazing hiking trails and natural landmarks that will leave you speechless. Ghost Ranch and The Monastery of Christ in The Desert aren't to far away and worth the trip to visit. I shall return!!
