The Rally Round Team
We're here to support you
Liz Wenman
Rally Round's founder and Director is a genuine motorsport enthusiast. Having previously followed Superbikes, Liz has been involved with historic cars for many years alongside her husband and stepson, both of whom compete; she herself has driven on several events from the Pyrennees Rally to the Tour of Wessex, and has navigated on the 2003 and 2007 Mille Miglia, the Rallye des Alpes and the 2010 Peking-Paris. It was that experience that inspired her to set up her own rally company, focusing on customer care and relaxed competition, allowing ample time to socialise and explore the wonders of the world. Liz originally trained as a research biochemist but subsequently ran a successful hospitality business, organising more than 150 events from weddings and art exhibitions to music festivals and fireworks displays. An active member of the Royal Geographical Society, she also has extensive experience of travelling and working abroad, in 1986 as a photographer for the Smithsonian Institute in the South African National Parks and in 1992 on a government agricultural feasibility study in Pakistan. Rally Round's success is based on her superb organisational skills, extensive experience in business management, customer service and marketing, common sense, humour, enthusiasm and spirit of adventure.
Heidi Winterbourne
Heidi is our Rally Co-ordinator, with a central role in business development and rally organisation from concept to completion. She is well liked and highly respected in the classic rally world, having been a leading figure in the sport for almost 20 years. It was in May 1996 that she joined the Classic Rally Association (CRA), then headed by Philip Young and Peter Browning, and following the latter's departure she immediately took over all aspects of CRA event logistics, hotels, sales, team training and office management, leaving Philip free to concentrate on promotion. Following the huge success of the first Peking to Paris Motor Challenge in 1997, Heidi restructured the business and over the next 16 years she and Philip ran groundbreaking events for an ever-increasing number of enthusiasts, founding and co-owning the Endurance Rally Association (ERA), Endurance Rallying Ltd and the Peking to Paris Rally Association Ltd. Whilst Philip was the sport's acknowledged figurehead, Heidi was the driving force behind the organisation. As Event Director she personally organised more than 40 major international rallies in 65 countries, including the Classic Safari, Lombard Revival, World Cup, Classic Cup, Classic Marathon, Rally of the Tests, Monte Carlo Challenge, London to Istanbul, Around the World in 80 Days, Nile Trial, Dash to Marrakesh, Trans-America Challenge, Flying Scotsman and Peking-Paris.
By August 2012 Heidi felt she needed a break. Having made all necessary preparations to ensure the success of future ERA events, she sold all her interests in the organisation to Philip, terminating their professional and personal relationship, and took time out to recharge her batteries. Returning to the fray in May 2015, she chose to join Rally Round, believing that our philosophy – combining exciting competition with time to socialise and explore a country at leisure – was the right way forward for classic rallying. In addition to her formidable skills and experience as a rally organiser, Heidi is herself an enthusiastic competitor, having driven or navigated on a variety of events including the Rome-Liege-Rome, Tour Britannia, Paris-Madrid, The Road to Mandalay and the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique, which as a driver she successfully completed three times. She is more than happy to hear from friends old and new, and may be contacted directly by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Kim Bannister
Kim is the latest appointment to the Rally Round team and is already playing a key tole in event planning and organisation. Renowned route designer, experienced MSA Steward and Clerk of the Course on countless international events including four Peking to Paris Motor Challenges, seven Flying Scotsman Rallies, three Classic Safaris, three World Cups, two Trans America Challenges, the Lombard Rally and many more, his knowledge, diplomacy and attention to detail are hugely valuable assets and his experience is exceptional; from Asia to Africa, Europe and the Americas, the list of countries he has rallied through is too long to list.
Kim developed his passion for cars and rallying at a tender age, joining the Craven Motor Club and competing from the age of 15. The following year he began an apprenticeship as a mechanic and rapidly rose through the ranks into car sales, dealer management and consultancy whilst simultaneously indulging his love of motorsport at all levels. In 2005, after more than 12 successful years in the motor trade, a call from Heidi Winterbourne presented an opportunity to move into full-time rally organisation and he immediately gave up his automotive consultancy directorship to work on the 2007 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. The resounding success of that event led him to design the route and act as Clerk of the Course on four more Peking to Paris rallies and many other events, establishing himself as one of the world's most experienced route designers and an indispensable member of the ERA team.
Following Heidi's resignation in 2012 and the unfortunate death of Philip Young in 2014, Kim recognised the need for a fresh approach to classic rallying and is particularly pleased to have been approached by Rally Round, which offers exactly that – sporting events for enthusiasts who want to explore and enjoy distant lands without the rigours of relentless, car-breaking competition. "It's an honour to be part of such a talented and enthusiastic team," he says. "They've worked really hard to establish Rally Round as a standard-setting organisation, meeting the need for exciting, safe and sociable rallies and focusing on customer service. I'm sure that's the way forward for classic rallying and I'm looking forward to exploring new horizons and contributing to the success of future events, including some I've always dreamed of organising, like the Odyssey Italia in September 2017, visiting Corsica, Sardinia and Elba on the way to Tuscany – I can hardly wait!"
Fred Bent
Route designer and Clerk of the Course on the 2016 Paris-Vienna and 2017 Paris-Prague rallies, Fred knows what it takes to create a great event, having vast experience both as an organiser and a competitor. He has been Clerk of the Course dozens of events from club rallies to qualifying rounds of the FIA Historic Regularity Rally Championship, such as (for 10 years) the Rally of the Tests, the Irish Classic Trial, the Three Legs of Mann and the Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial. He has also enjoyed considerable success as a navigator on events throughout the UK and Europe, including Le Jog, the Classic Malts, the Classic Marathon, the Winter Challenge, the Winter Trial, the Icelandic Trial, the 1000 Mile Trial and the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. Perhaps his most notable achievement came in 2006, when at the Historic Motorsport Awards he was presented with two trophies, as Navigator/Co-Driver of the Year and as Clerk of the Course on the event voted Best Road Rally of the Year. Looking ahead to 2017, he assures us that Paris-Prague will be a truly unforgettable competition, with a route that visits six countries and includes some of the most exciting and spectacular roads in Europe.
Peter Rushforth
Clerk of the Course on the Haka Classic and Samurai Challenge, Peter has gained an enviable reputation and an enormous wealth of experience over more than half a century in the sport. He began competing as a driver in 1961, winning the 1st Novice prize on the Combined Universities Rally. Since then he has rallied with about 80 different partners, both as driver and navigator, although in the last few decades he has concentrated on the latter. In the 1970s and 1980s he competed in no fewer than 14 World Rally Championship events, including nine RAC Rallies. two East African Safari Rallies, two Monte Carlo Rallies and the Swedish Rally. Notable results include a 2nd on the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique with Stuart Collins, 5th on the Firestone Rally with Kevin Videan and a series of top-ten finishes in the Winter Trial, the best of them 3rd in 2002 with Jayne Wignall.
Peter has also worked in almost every official capacity you can think of, including Secretary, Chief Marshal, Stage Commander, Scrutineer, Course Car Driver, Equipment Officer, Press Officer and even Service Crew Co-ordinator – although these days he says he prefers to keep his hands clean! Indeed he has most experience as Clerk of the Course (or Deputy CoC), having fulfilled that role on more than 50 events, among them the Craven Rally, the Targa Rusticana and Targa Rusticana Historic, the RAC Historic, the Killarney Rally of the Lakes, the Imber Stages Rally, the Inca Trail and London to Capetown (with two different organisers). "I'm happy and honoured to be appointed Clerk of the Course on the Haka Classic and Samurai Challenge rallies," he says. "They will be my second and third outings with Rally Round, as I'm also marshalling on the Paris-Vienna in June, not to mention flying off to Japan shortly afterwards to write the Samurai Challenge roadbook with Deputy CoC John Bayliss. I certainly have a lot to look forward to!"
Jayne Stanley
Jayne is a fully trained and Sage-qualified book-keeper and oversees Rally Round's daily finances, handling all invoices and purchasing. With more than 11 years accounting experience in industries ranging from bio-technology to beauty, she ensures that our procedures run like clockwork. Jayne's out-of-office hours are largely taken up with her young family but she still very much enjoys making glass jewellery and fashion accessories.
Dr John Llewellyn
Rally Doctor John, who hails from Wales, trained as a GP in the mid-1980s then headed overseas to work in sports, expedition and travel medicine, general practice and public health. He worked and travelled in remote and difficult environments such as the Australian outback, Asia and South America, including a six-month role as a ship's surgeon and a brief period looking for landmines in Afghanistan. After a couple of years providing medical care to a mixed community in western Ethiopia, he joined the UK Foreign Office in 1993 as a Regional Medical Officer, looking after staff and their families in South Asia and East Africa. He spent 12 years working in Delhi, travelling widely in India and escorting classic car rallies. Since 2010 he has been based in Ghana, West Africa, specialising in the planning and provision of healthcare for Diplomatic Service staff and their families and advising on health protection in distant lands. Catering for the medical needs of classic car rallies is right up John's street and his wide-ranging experience, professionalism, calm demeanour and wry humour are invaluable assets to the Rally Round team.
David Wenman
After joining the London Stock Exchange in 1968, David went on to become an entrepreneur in the equity field, selling his company to Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS) in 1990. He has 'retired' three times but is still active as a serial business angel and in mentoring and voluntary work. He has been an avid classic car collector since buying a Jaguar MkII in 1986; five years later he acquired his first racer, a 1952 Connaught A Type, which he still campaigns in events organised by the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association (HGPCA), the Goodwood Revival and Monaco Classic. Over the last 10 years he has aso owned and raced XK120, C Type and Lister Jaguars, an Aston Martin DBR4 and an ERA R12B. David's rally driving experience includes the Rallye des Alpes, the Mille Miglia and the 2010 Peking to Paris.
The Mechanics
Rally Round is very fortunate in being able to call on a pool of enthusiastic and highly skilled mechanics with countless years of experience in everything from contemporary Formula One engineering to historic car restoration – a rare breed of resourceful and creative people who thrive on challenges and will do their utmost to keep you on the road.

Maybe it's my humble page with links about situation in Japan, or my periodic scouting on japanese-language sites, I got myself a Persistent Sakura House syndrome. What is it ? It's an English-speaking advertisement about the nice rentals in Tokyo that is persistently following me all around the web.
I am seriously starting to check it out.
And closer to understanding how half of the world buys the junk they buy.
Anyway, this is not about Tokyo per se, nor it is about the persistent advertisements that program the minds of unsuspecting crowds.
It's about something else.
When I told my friends at Google this story we laughed, and the consensus was that with my chaotic behavior I made the algorithm believe I am very interested to go to Tokyo. Nonetheless, if I clear the cookies, the phenomenon will probably disappear (it does not show on the Firefox that I mostly do not use and which has different sets of cookies).
But I will never do it myself.
Because the ads I see make the sites look better.
Don't you agree that it is a pretty tasteful banner ?
A banner that does not sleazily try to sell something to me. A banner that (despite my general distaste with pink) is nice and calm to stare at. Maybe because of that, or maybe because of its calm layout, it makes the sites look better, in my opinion.
So, here's a million dollar idea.
Besides monetizing the additional value that the contextual advertising brings to the merchant, create and monetize the value that the website owners would get out of showing only nicer-looking advertisements on their websites.
How ? I don't know. That's why the ideas like this are dime a dozen.
Is this even something valid ? No clue. A serious amount of A/B testing should show.
I just noticed it, because this ad is persistently frequent - yet, it does not get annoying. More so, I've even gone to the site a couple of times and read the reviews - the folks seem to be pretty positive.
I am thinking of visiting Tokyo one day.
Can't say of anything else, but they make great looking ads for sure.

Just Add Ink – Colour Challenge
I've not much to show you this week because I have not been very well. Still not – so this will probably be short. I've been unwell now for two weeks and it's really getting to me. I come and sit in my craft room but do very little.
Anyway……this post is really about the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge that is on at the moment. The colours are:
Here is what I did.
Great colours. Unfortunately my creation is not the flash due to not feeling flash. But I had a go. Catch you later.
Easter Basket Class
In my last post I showed you the little Easter Egg box I put together for the Just Add Ink Easter Challenge. It was one of the projects the ladies did in my Wednesday night class as well.
The second project we did was a Bag-o-lope with a Bunny on the front.
Bag-o-lopes are quick and easy to make. They make great bags for small gifts too. The ladies had a lot of fun making these projects and there were heaps of Egg jokes flying round the table. Bit of a laugh.
Just Add Ink – Sketch Challenge
The new challenge at Just Add Ink today is a Sketch Challenge. I had several attempts at this sketch and it took me a while to get to this card….
Although I used the sketch for layout – the real inspiration came from some Cards that my sister Nadine had sent to me. On Two of the Cards she had used Inspired by Nature. One of them had been done in a silhouette style along with Pocket Silhouettes…..so that's where that bit of my card came from. Then on the other card she had used Inspired by Nature but in two colours….so with the two combined together……I came up with this.
I also thought I was a good blokey card so I am going to send it to a friend of my Mums – who has just had an accident and is just out of hospital. I hope it brightens his day.
Just Add Ink – Easter
We are doing Easter Projects at Just Add Ink this week. When I think about Easter – I automatically think Egg Hunt – so that is what I based my project on. I put together a little Easter Basket for the Challenge.
There are some great projects to see from the Design Team – so go check them out here.
Easter is on it's way!
The past stamping week for me, has all been about Easter…..and yes – there have even been a few Chocolate Egg's floating around too. Lucky for me though – I don't really like Chocolate that much – so they are still floating around here somewhere.
Anyway – we did our Monthly Stamp-a-stack on Wednesday night. The ladies had requested we do an Easter SAS. Here it is.
We used the Scallop Edge punch to make the little Zig Zag's that are on each card. I decided on these colours because they matched the Tea Party DSP.
Just Add Ink – Colour Challenge
There is a NEW challenge up at Just Add Ink today. It's a colour challenge. And believe me…..most of the Design Team found it a Challenge!! The colours are:
I had loads of fun playing with these colours. To start with I really struggled with what I was going to do. I find I don't use Bold Brights very often. This is what I came up with.
I really liked how the colours came together.
Now – if you have looked at the Just Add Ink site you'll know that this is not the Card I have on there…….that's because after looking at it for a day or so I decided to do something else. I thought these colours where really really girly – and my little girl will be 4 and the end of the month so I used the colours to make her Birthday Card. So this is the Card I did for Just Add Ink.
I ended up loving the colours so much I ended up making another project with them too. I used the same idea from the first card to make this little Sweet Treat treasure.
Those of you that know me really well…know that I LOVE chippies! Shhhh it's a secret – but when Sarah stays at Nana's overnight I usually have them for my dinner…..Sshhhh!!
Recently when filling out a Secret Sister Questionnaire – I said on it that I love Chippies…….and yesterday – I got a bag of Chippies in the post from my Secret Sister!! Giggle Giggle. I was really excited.
Here I am with my chippies…..although now they are all gone 😦 Gobbled by the Chippie Monster.
I also received this great little hand-made Shoe…..which I just love. I wanna make them now too. That was filled with some lovely foot pampering products. Cute man.
Thank you to my Big Sister for these treasures.
Ohhh and here is a pic of my Husband – with a teasing little "I'm gonna nick off with your Chips" look on his face. He was teasing me cause I was so excited over a bag of chips….. but he does not know that I put this pic on here of him!! Hehehehe

So, talk about easy and good. And, devious.
Yes, devious. I've made this into a morning bread for my youngest daughter. Very difficult to feed -- no egg, soy, rice, gluten, casein, etc. Anyway, making a variation of Noah's Bread, I've found something that gives her some meat, bread, fiber and other healthy things.
Here's how.
- make one Noah's Bread recipe
- add 1/2 tsp salt
- add 1 tbsp sugar
- cut up as much gf pepperoni (like Wellshire Farms, Applegate Farms or Hormel) that you want. Of course, you could use any meat, or salami, etc. Using more makes it more appealing, and filling.
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal mixed with 3 tbsp water; heat in microwave 30 secs and let sit 5 mins.)
- corn meal
So, mix the bread recipe, add the other ingredients. Spoon into about six lumps on a lightly greased baking sheet. Smooth the tops of the lumps down by wetting the back of a spatula or spoon - form the lumps into rounds. Sprinkle corn meal over the tops. Bake according to the Noah's Bread recipe.

Council snubs cattery plans
Bendigo council has refused plans for a cattery at Lockwood, south of the city.
The proposal was for a business that would house up to 60 cats and attracted 23 objections.
A recommendation to last night's council meeting was that it be approved.
However, councillors agreed that the site, on a notorious stretch of the Calder Alternate Highway, would decrease road safety.
The council also voted to extend the Eaglehawk Library's opening hours and to improve the service.

Epson Stylus CX8400 Printer Review Review
By October 1, 2007reviewed
Buying an all-in-one printer can be like playing a slot machine: You may end up with a combination that doesn't pay off for you. The Epson Stylus CX8400 delivers printing, scanning, and copying functions that work well together but are inconsistent in quality and speed. Still, even though its components aren't all jackpot symbols, at $99.99 the CX8400 offers quite a bit for the money.
The heart of the device is an inkjet print engine with an impressive 5,760x1,440-dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution. For print longevity, it uses pigment inks rather than the dye inks typically found in inkjet printers. On an average page with 5 percent ink coverage, Epson estimates an ink cost of 5 cents per page for black printing (using the company's high-capacity black cartridge) or 11 cents for color. Those figures are fairly typical for an inkjet printer. And when displayed indoors under glass, the photos are rated to last 55 years if printed on Epson's glossy paper or 105 years on the company's matte paper.
Setup was similar to that of a single-function printer. First, insert the four full-capacity ink cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), which you can replace later separately—a big plus. Connect a USB cable (not included), install the drivers and bundled software, and you're done.
The 1,200x2,400dpi-resolution scanner performed flawlessly, with no image distortion. The software offers three modes: full auto (one-button operation), home (limited options), and professional (all the options). While the hardware is capable of 48-bit color scanning, the software saves a maximum of 24 bits. OCR software isn't included, as it sometimes is with multifunction printers.
Our 10-page test document, which features text and four images, printed at a relatively fast 2 minutes and 51 seconds, which works out to 3.5 pages per minute. The text was legible down to 5 points in size. Printing a 8.5x11-inch photo at best-quality settings was sluggish (5 minutes and 44 seconds), though this was at the full 5,760x1,440dpi resolution. A best-quality 4x6-inch photo clocked in at 2 minutes and 42 seconds, also on the slow side. Photos printed on premium paper were sharp and detailed, though a bit dark, with slightly muted colors. (The same images printed with an Epson PictureMate Zoom dedicated snapshot printer were brighter and had more-saturated colors.)
The CX8400 did an especially good job copying and enlarging black-and-white photos. You wouldn't mistake them for the originals, but they retained much of the sharpness, tonal range, and evenness of texture. The copy function can enlarge as much as 400 percent. Copying an 8x10.5-inch photo took 3 minutes and 47 seconds with premium paper.
Other features include a bright 2.5-inch LCD that tilts for easy viewing. Used in conjunction with the multibutton control panel, you can copy documents or print photos from the two memory-card slots. You can print photos in a variety of sizes, including 4x6, 5x7, and 8.5x11 inches, by sliding the guide bar to accommodate the different paper sizes. The guide bar was sometimes hard to adjust, however, partly because the paper slot is narrow, and partly because the mechanism felt fragile.
If you need a document printer that works well with plain or premium paper—with occasional forays into photo printing, scanning, and copying—the CX8400 is a decent performer at an attractive price.

June 21, 2005
A new study of the weaning weights of California's elephant seal pups predicts that a 25-year trend of Pacific Ocean warming has ended.
That means that the second half of a 50-year cycle has begun to cool the northern Pacific. In addition, historical fish catch data indicates the ocean cooling trend is likely to last until about 2025.
Burney Le Boeuf and David Crocker (University of California, Santa Cruz) monitored the weaning weights of central California seal pups for 29 years, from 1975 to 2004. The ocean's temperatures generally increased, and the pups' weaning weights declined 21 percent over 24 years from the study's beginning until 2000.
- The seal pups' weight decline coincided with an increase in their mothers' foraging time of 36 percent.
- A decline in the mother's own weights confirmed that fish were relatively scarce.
- After 1999, however, ocean temperatures began to decline, fish became more abundant and the pups' weaning weights abruptly began to rise.
- By 2004 the pups weaning weights had recovered to 90 percent of their 1975 weaning size.
The previous shift toward warmer temperatures, which disadvantaged the California seal pups occurred in the mid-1970s. Researchers have begun to call the 50-year ocean cycle the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO).
During the PDO, ocean temperatures rise and fall, fish species wax and wane, and fish are caught in different places, but total ocean productivity remains stable.
What does it all mean? Seal pups are instructing us that even temperature trends as long as 25 years can mislead us about cause and effect in the Earth's climate -- which has been cycling constantly for at least the last million years, say observers.

Innermost House
Diana's First Publication
Diana's Innermost House publications are visited each month by readers from over a hundred nations of the world. The following is her first appearance in print, published on the web's leading source for small houses, tinyhouseblog.com —
Diana's Innermost House
A Guest Post by Diana Lorence
This is Innermost House, my home in the coastal mountains of Northern California. It is the latest of many very small houses my husband and I have occupied over twenty-five years, all for the same reason— to make possible a simple life of reflection and conversation. I am delighted now to be a part of Kent's public conversation with others who share my love of tiny houses, and I'm grateful to Michael Janzen of Tiny House Design for introducing us.
Innermost House is about twelve-feet square. It faces directly south beneath an open porch that shelters our front door. A hill rises to the north behind us and the forest of oak and redwood lies all around. The house encloses five distinct rooms: to the east is a living room eleven feet deep by seven feet wide by twelve feet high; to the west the house is divided into kitchen, study, and bathroom, each approximately five feet deep by three feet wide, with a sleeping loft above the three of them, accessible by a wooden ladder we store against the wall.
The living room is the heart of the house. It is where my husband and I spend most of our time, and where we receive our guests. On the east wall of the room is a small fireplace set a foot above the floor, with a hearth extension of bricks projecting a foot and a half into the room. On the west side is a wall of books four feet wide and seven feet tall. Between these walls of hearth and books, our two low chairs sit facing each other a couple of feet apart. Everything about the space is conceived to make a harmony of conversation possible.
I know that sounds strange in a world where conversation seems to go on all the time every day. But pause for a moment and try to remember the single most moving and meaningful conversation you ever had. Perhaps it was with your mother or father in days long past, or with your husband or wife when you were first in love. Perhaps it was when you said goodbye to someone for the very last time.
Now, how would you design, build and furnish a place so that those conversations could happen every day? That is the question we asked of every detail of Innermost House, and we are still asking it.
The fireplace is where our conversation begins, just as it began a million years ago when human language and domesticated fire were born together. The fireplace is the original tiny house. After all, what is a cave or a tipi or a wigwam but a big, enclosing fireplace? The fire is our link with the wild. Gazing into the fire seems to release our dream life into words.
The books complete the circle of conversation on the other side. They are our link with the world. All of our books have been carefully chosen over the years as contributing something essential to the Innermost Life. It is strange that it was not until I saw them all together, illuminated by the fire at Innermost House, that I realized nearly every one was first written by firelight. In some way they represent the last light cast from that first fire at the mouth of a cave.
We do not have electricity or power of other kind, so we warm the cabin and cook our food and heat our water for bathing all over the fire. Our firewood comes of local orchard prunings that would otherwise be burned as waste in the field. In the summer we cook over coals and wash with cold water. We light our home with beeswax candles. After examining all the options, we installed a conventional septic system, though we use very little water.
The house is of mixed post and beam and stick construction. Our floor is of yellow pine tongue & groove planks, our ceiling of fir planks and rafters and beams. Our interior walls are of plain white gypsum plaster applied by hand over blue board. The exterior walls are clad in rough-sawn redwood board and batten. The roof is of cedar shakes. Both the redwood and the cedar are naturally resistant to rot, fire, and insects — all important considerations in the woods. The house is constructed of natural, simple materials, with a lot of care taken to render them neat and plain.
Real wood, real plaster, real materials of all kinds. The real things really do make a difference, at whatever sacrifice they must be had. It's worth waiting and saving for if you can.
The building project required the better part of a year for two men working part time. A good deal of that time was spent in familiarizing ourselves with the traditional building language of the region. We would have built a rather different house in New Mexico or Massachusetts or Virginia. My husband always limits himself to the vernacular of a region so that, as he says, nature can have a hand in the building.
This kind of life has been made possible for us by living in partnerships of one kind or another over the years, often in guest houses. We have moved many times, and have never owned a home. My husband is a private confidant and friend to people in public positions. Men come to him for the special kind of conversation he makes possible. Innermost House was built for us on the land of such a partner and friend. Many local building ordinances allow for small guesthouses.
I have loved our small houses, and I love Innermost House most of all. There are many reasons for wanting to live in a tiny house. A simple life of high conversation is my reason. I could not live any other way.
A Sampling of Readers' Comments
"The Most Inspiring Small House Ever."
"One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen--of any size."
"I will sleep tonight with your Innermost House in my heart."

"Diana you are the NEW HERO of the simple living movement! Can't wait to see and hear more from you soon… "
"I am absolutely drooling here....that place is awesome."
"Simply Beautiful. Beautifully Simple. A conversation in itself, for sure."
"Beyond perfect!"
"Speechless. So much I want to say and yet I can find no adequate words. Here is a way of life that I thought was relegated to the past or that existed only in books. Less is more. How rich you are. You inspire me."
"It reminds me of a chapel – a little bit Quaker, a little bit early pilgrim, radiating peace and contentment."
"I feel as if you have invited...us...into a most private –and quite spiritual –moment. This life is all about truth and relationships, yes?"
"How beautiful! Even the pictures gave me a feeling of serenity."

"...a perfect illustration of the value of quality. The traditional styling is brilliant and elegant...resonates as a visual poem on the heart."
"You must visit her web site, the words and images there will change your life a little. I want so much to jump ahead to where she is now. I must remember that it is a long slow process of letting go of things, habits and distractions. Yes, you could just sell all your stuff and move to the woods and it would be a start, but Diana and her husband have carefully chosen not only what to take and what to leave, but what to expose themselves to and what to think about. Every facet of there lives, chosen. that takes time."
"...spectacular! Every inch looks to be perfection. Great to see how beautifully you can live off grid. It looks so full of warmth and happiness."
"I read everything on your site yesterday, many times your words and stories brought me to tears. I am deeply affected by the beauty and grace of your words and home."
"Truly, words cannot express the beauty of this house and ideas that accompany it. And as I write this, over and over, deleting and rewriting, to try to express the feelings these pictures evoke, I find I am just without words. Thank you so much for sharing your story."
"Absolutely stunning. Beautiful. I'm in awe!"
"Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the joy, peace and richness of a truly simple life."

Family of four from Massachusetts, son goes to college at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH and a teenage daughter is in high school. Husband works for local telephone company, I am a bookkeeper for three companies. Our family loves Disney World.
Lisa purchased this villa in 2008
We purchased this property because it is so close to Disney World. Our family was growing up and we needed the extra room. Having all the bathrooms, allows all of us to get ready at the same time, which makes getting out the door, that much quicker. It is so nice to come home to our own pool to sit and relax by after a hectic day at the parks.
We have tried to make our home feel homey and relaxing. We want our guests to feel comfortable when they stay here. Our subdivision is close to everything you could possibly need from the theme parks, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks (for those who need their coffee fixes). You can enjoy everything on your budget.
This was a wonderful home exactly as described. The house was easy access to a lot of restaurants and Disney's parks. Neighborhood was quite and safe. Plenty parking for three vehicles. Grounds and surrounding community was very well kept. The rooms were ample and the beds were comfortable. Showers great with plenty towels and other necessities. The pool and hot tub were also a plus, cool and relaxing even after a few showers and thunder storms. The house décor was beautiful and welcoming. We all felt at home.
The house was amazing!!! Owner amazing!!!! The entire process was easy and simple. Almost too good to be true. Your deposit is refunded in a timely manner. I highly recommend this property. We were actually there during hurricane Irma. The house held up great. Lisa the owner told us to stay until we feels it was safe to leave. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.
Great location. Very clean. Pictures do not do this home justice.
This was our 2nd time staying at this location. We had stayed here a few years ago to go to Disney and it was an ideal location; Easy access to the the Disney parks, groceries, and restaraunts. We were in town to go to Universal Studios this last visit, and although it was further away, the daily drive was very easy.
It is so close to everything and has everything you need!!!
From the time I found the house on homeaway, contacted Lisa, made payments, received updated directions based on construction, to my email about an appliance that was broke everything was perfect! (there was a new one on the doorstep when we arrived home that evening). Thank You Lisa!! We didn't use the pool much because a couple of our days were quite chilly and the other days we were too busy, but there were toys for the kids to play with, video games, board games, etc etc. Thanks for helping us to have an amazing vacation! This house is very well kept and felt cozy from the time we walked in we took cards to share with others looking for a home away from home.

Dorset Police Issue Flood Safety Warning
9:29am 11th July 2012
(Updated 9:32am 11th July 2012)
After recent flooding, Dorset Police have issued safety warnings in case the bad weather returns.
Chief Superintendent David Griffith said: "Continuous heavy rain over the weekend in Dorset resulted in a large number of calls relating to floods being received by the Dorset Police control room.
"This was unusual, however contingency plans were in place to deal with such adverse weather conditions. Dorset Police work with our partner agencies within the Local Resilience Forum, with the Environment Agency being the lead with regards to flood related issues.
"We would like to encourage members of the public to be vigilant and safety conscious and in the event of the return of this unseasonal weather to:
- Check websites and Wessex FM traffic bulletins for updates regarding road closures and problem areas before they travel.
- Be aware the flooding is often rapid and therefore the latest information available may not be completely up to date.
- Take care when entering standing water, to check how deep it is and how fast it is flowing, and not to take any unnecessary risks.
- Not call the emergency services to ask about road closures as this may cause a delay in dealing with urgent calls.
You can see a list of all road closure information HERE.

Savannah was the third-highest area in Georgia for fraud complaints in 2005 - a year in which local residents were defrauded of $466,752, according to estimates by The Better Business Bureau's Southeast Atlantic region.
The 200-plus complaints the local bureau received in January indicate the scammers' successful run hasn't satisfied their desire for ill-gotten funds.
"The BBB, being a grass-roots organization, is often the first phone call a consumer makes when they are concerned with fraud," said local BBB President and CEO Ross Howard. "That's why we want to launch an all-out effort to educate those consumers."
The effort to cut back on the amount of fraud will include holding seminars, storing complaints on an international database and providing information to local law enforcement agencies.
Howard said a majority of the scams typically involve sweepstakes or prizes. Victims are asked for personal financial information to deposit the winnings or must pay a "transfer fee."
Anyone who receives a suspicious inquiry should get a full name, street address and local number from the caller and report it to the BBB.
"If they don't have a street address or name of a person, then that's a problem," Howard said.
Lately, local retirement homes have seen an increased amount of these scams.
Rose of Sharron retirement home resident Justin Gutting, 85, said he's had scammers attempt to con him out of money four times in the last year.
"The first time was about a year ago," Gutting said. "Someone called and said they had sent me a package and they were going to take $279 out of my checking account."
Gutting said he closed his account the next day.
Another caller told Gutting he had won a prize and had to send a certified check of $1,000. Gutting told the caller to call the BBB and he never heard about the prize again.
"Years ago, everybody was honest until proven guilty," Gutting said. "Now they're guilty until proven honest. That's the most nasty thing to say, but it's the truth."
According to Howard, it's often difficult to catch the scammers because modern conveniences allow them to operate far from their victims.
"The Internet and cell phones make it easier for businesses to operate," Howard said. "Unfortunately it also makes it easier for con-artists to con."

Saving your environment and preserving natural sources and forest life is exactly what you call eco-tourism. Eco-tourism is growing so rapidly in the tourism industry. Eco-Travel is a great catch for people loving travel, nature and recreational activities.
Eco-travel and tourism is mainly concerned about preserving the diverse, cultural and natural environment of mother earth. The main goal of eco-tourism is to entertain as many visitors as possible and in every possible way that is very minimally interfering and least destructive to the environment.
This tourism is completely location dependent. The more natural the location is, the more easy it is to get engrossed deeper into the nature and cultural bondage. The sole responsibility of the travelers and tourism agents is the need of the hour.
Advantages of eco-tourism
Eco-travel and tourism encourages the local economy to be very diverse, for this reason the income we get out of tourism is very essential in counting towards the green revolution.
Tourists help local producers and service providers to compete with larger market and sometimes even foreign companies. Government will use the funds collected from eco-tourism for training programs and conservation purposes.
Reduces adverse effects of any external programs on the nature, it also enhances cultural integrity of people. This promotes recycling, energy efficiency, reusing water and create multiple economic activities.
Eco-tourism encourages new ways to live by focusing on adventures, cultures, personal growth, etc. Eco-travel and tourism helps to boost cultural integrity amongst the local community. Make a positive impact on the environment as much as possible and sustain the mass population and preserve wild life, other flora and fauna. It is a key to ever cherishing development of the ecology.
Green Laws
These laws are making people realize how man can co-live with the environment for longer time thus maximizing economic, social, environmental benefits of tourism. Everyone is the stakeholder in the process, this creates a responsibility among each and every tourist.
Principles of Eco-tourism

- Visitors and host should provide positive experience
- Minimize the impact
- Promote awareness amongst people about the local culture and environment
- Human and labor rights are being promoted
- All bio degradable litter such as bags, plastic, bottles, etc must be disposed safely
- Maintain sanity of tourist places
- Stop noise pollution
- Take photos, but always respect people's privacy
- Always respect
- Do not destroy flora and fauna
- Do not pollute by using cigarettes
- Do not cut wood
- Don't consume aerated drinks, drugs, alcohol, etc
Rules to be followed during eco-travel
- Make a thorough research before you travel.
- Support local business and small scare industries during your travel
- Follow the guideline signals such as put the trash in the trash can by segregating recycled, glass, or garbage in their respective trash cans.

COASTAL walker Shane Marsh is just days away from the biggest challenge of his life.
The 29-year-old from Peterlee will trek 110 miles along the beaches and clifftops between Horden and Scarborough from this Friday to raise money for Great Ormond Street children's hospital.
It's a tall order for many people, but for Shane, it is all the more difficult as he suffers from hammer toe, where his toes are permanently bent.
The Hartlepool Mail has previously told how Shane had both his little toes deliberately broken and then steel rods inserted three inches through the bones to try to solve his hammer toe condition in time for his wedding.
The operations were completed in time for his big day in August 2009 when he tied the knot with Sarah Garside, then 23, at the Grand Hotel in Hartlepool.
But Shane's feet problems have continued since then. Despite that, he is hoping to complete his walking stint in three to four days and said: "We are near enough to raising £500." Shane, of Herton Close, Peterlee, will be the only person on the walk but he will have company. His faithful hound, a one-year-old Jack Russell, Magik will join him on his journey.
Shane added: "My plan is to stick as close to the coast as I can, whether that means walking on beaches or clifftops. We worked out that the route would be 70 miles by road but the way I am doing it is closer to 110 miles.
"I have bought a two-man tent and I will be hoping to sleep in either farmer's fields, or campsites."
Anyone who would like to sponsor Shane can contact him on 07966839349.

Matthew Broderick wants to get acting tips from Sarah Jessica Parker.
The 'Dirty Weekend' actor is set to appear in 'Sylvia' on Broadway, a play his wife - with who he has son James, 12, and twin daughters Marion and Tabitha, six - starred in two decades ago, so he is hoping she can help him out with his preparations.
He told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "She was so great, and I just hope we can be as good as they were.
"I saw her in it several times. Hopefully she will [give me some tips]."
The 53-year-old actor recently revealed that his long-lasting marriage to the 'Sex and the City' actress is based on "talking a lot".
He said: "We really are friends beyond everything else and we talk a lot.
"Keep talking I guess, I know how cliché that is. Too much silence is definitely not a good idea."
Despite their strong marriage, the couple were unable to celebrate Valentine's Day (14.02.15) together earlier this year because Matthew was working.
Asked their plans, Sarah previously revealed: "Well I'm actually going to be with my children because my husband's working, so I'm going to be with my children, but I think that's kind of nice. And actually I'll be with our babysitter too. I keep making fun of her, I'm like, 'We're spending Valentine's Day together Anna,' and she's like, 'Yeah, great.' "

New York, March 7: Pressured by a Tony Blair under siege and hamstrung by largely positive reports by UN weapons inspectors about Saddam Husseins compliance with disarmament, a reluctant US today appeared to have postponed the decision to go to war against Iraq but only by a few days.
In hectic behind-the-scenes consultations right up to the convening of a momentous UN Security Council meeting here today, Britain persuaded America to amend their joint draft resolution circulated among council members to give Iraq 10 more days till March 17 to disarm or face a military invasion.
With a majority of the council members unwilling to support the US and the UK in their rush to war, a deadline for Saddam Hussein appeared to be their only option to try to win over council members in support of a new resolution paving the way for a US-led attack on Iraq. British foreign secretary Jack Straw announced the resolution.
But France, which has Security Council veto power, rejected it. Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said: Behind his (Straws) presentation there is the idea of an ultimatum, the 17th of March. This is the logic of war. We dont accept this logic, he said.
Chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix was today openly derisive in his report of the American position that nothing that has been done by Baghdad was enough to avoid war.
We are not watching the destruction of toothpicks, Blix said of Iraqs compliance last week of UN orders to destroy its Al Samoud-II missiles.
Lethal weapons are being destroyed... The destruction undertaken constitutes a substantial measure of disarmament, Blix told the council.
His colleague and director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed El Baradei, had a dig at US intelligence when he rejected Washingtons contention that aluminium tubes imported by Baghdad were for uranium enrichment in Iraqs suspected nuclear weapons programme.
Neither Blix nor El Baradei, however, gave Iraq a clean chit on the issue of possessing weapons of mass destruction.
With UN weapons inspectors belatedly receiving proactive cooperation from the regime in Baghdad, Blix said: It will not take years, nor weeks, but months for the inspectors to complete their job.
The foreign ministers of France, Russia, Germany and China stood together in the Security Council and seized on the reports by Blix and El Baradei to demand more time for inspections instead of adopting a second resolution which would pave the way for war.
US secretary of state Colin Powell was virtually alone in demanding a closure, suggesting that the time had come to use force to get Saddam Hussein to comply with earlier Security Council resolutions.
Addressing a news conference last night, President George W. Bush had said the US was getting ready to wind up its act in the UN and ready for military action irrespective of the outcome of the disarmament process in the world body.

Taking CSR out of the board room and putting it into the hands of managers and consumers is the quickest path to eliminating economic incentives that drive businesses to make decisions that are harmful to society.
CSR practices have been frustrated by the lack of integration into broader corporate and commercial strategies. The more we are able to create consumer-led demand that reflects the social values of individuals and managers, the stronger the connections between consumers and corporate behavior. By tightening these connections we ensure that socially harmful decisions will be exposed and socially beneficial decisions will be rewarded. Core to this idea is our ability to concisely deliver an accurate view of corporate social behavior not only to the commerce experience but embedding it at the point of sale.
From there...it's up to the market to decide!

Better then the movie series!
I didn't liker the fact its looped. Thats why we give the viewer the option to replay.
I dont know how not to make it loop. Im new here.
I just uploaded a normal swf movie... What should i have done differently?
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Animation was choppy here and there, but the other than that it was really good. I was forced to watch New Moon by my girlfriends sister, but my friends and I call it New Poon (you know, twatlight, new poon, ecliteris, and breaking condom). I hate that movie so much, and this just made me laugh so hard about how stupid the movie really is. Voice acting went with the short very well, because every actor in the movie sounded like they didn't know what the hell they were doing, and the voices in this took it to a new level to goof around with it. All'n'all very nicely put together.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
good :)
this was a good animation, only real thing that let it down was the voices, the animation and art were good, although not to a massively high standard, they illustrated the ideas well. but the voices were appalling, a better mic is the only solution im afraid, use the newgrounds bbs, there's tons of voice acting talent, male and female that are looking for "work" lol.
but this toon appealed to my sense of "twilight sucks" and i loved that you drew on beastiality and necrophilia, people just dont see how wrong twilight it XD
good job ^_^
The sound quality somehow drops in swf. I got the same vid in youtube and the sound is better because its avi there. Thanks for the comment, is very helpful and btw I feel the same about twilight! :)

The CBS reality phenomenon Survivor recently crowned a 22 year-old med student from Willsboro, N.Y. the winner of the show's 23rd season, says CBS News. Sophie Clarke outlasted a cast including 39-year-old "Survivor" veteran Benjamin "Coach" Wade and 26-year-old high school baseball coach Albert Destrade, and took home the million dollar prize.
The jury made up of nine former players granted Clarke six votes, while Wade received three votes and Destrade earned no votes. On the reunion special, Clarke said, "I had a feeling, but you never know."
Clarke earned her place among the final three contestants through an alliance and winning three individual immunity challenges, including the final physical competition. By winning that competition, she ousted 30-year-old "Survivor" veteran Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth from the 39-day survival contest. Lusth later said, "I knew the only one that could beat me at a challenge - no offense, guys - was Sophie."
At the end of the finale, the show's host Jeff Probst announced that the 24th season would be titled "Survivor: One World." The season will feature two tribes competing against each other while living together on the same island. "One World" is set to premiere in February.

YELLOW ROSE: Want to express platonic love or that you care for someone? The red rose meaning is "Friendship, Joy and Caring". Yellow roses were my mother's favorite flowers. Everytime I see them, I think of her. She passed away from Pancreatic Cancer back in April 2001.
This beautiful panel was beaded by my Bead Angel, Terri Ettling-Shell.

"'Alternative sexuality' can be defined as behaviours, identities, and communities that stand in contrast and/or opposition to socially and culturally dominant sexualities."
(Meeker, 2002) What are the Main Types of Alternate Sexuality?
-Gay/ Lesbian- "Homosexual orientation self-defined, affirmed, or acknowledged as such. Also refers to homosexually oriented ideas, communities, or varieties of cultural expression (e.g. styles, lifestyles, literature, or values)" (Hidalgo, Peterson & Woodman, 1985, p.8).
-Bisexuality- "Attraction to both males and females as sexual partners" (The Macquarie Dictionary, 2005).
-Transgender- "...Sexual orientation is not defined by her/his gender nonconformity, thus transgendered people may experience sexual attractions to females, males or both" (Nelson & Prilleltensky, 2005, p. 384). "One never knows when the homosexual is about, he may appear normal." TABLE 1

Criticism? Liberator and Oppressor? Louise Pratt Do you think a change in legislation will change our ideological view points towards sexuality? Analysis of Language Used in Film
"Rob was sick. A sickness that was not visible like small pox, but no less dangerous and contagious, a sickness of the mind." (Like Freud and Ellis views in 1960s homosexuality was viewed as an illness. In terms of the nature versus nurture debate the creators of this film using the word 'contagious' implies the belief homosexuality was influenced by nurture (environment and experiences).
"Rob was a homosexual a person who demands an intimate relationship with members of their own sex." ('Demands' and 'intimate' create the idea that all homosexuals are forceful and they are all looking for an intimate relationship. This view is extremely one-dimensional).
"One never knows when the homosexual is about. He may appear normal." (Once again, that predatory paedophile undertone and the sentence ' He may appear normal' communicates clearly that homosexuals are, in fact, abnormal). Journal Article Findings and Links to Theory
- Social Identity Theory
- In-group and out-group differentiation
- Self-concept and self-identity defined by membership within overall societal group of heterosexuals.
-Exposure leads to intergroup comparisons.
-Individuals- level of in-group favoritism toward heterosexual imagery in advertisements while also demonstrating a level of discomfort and disapproval toward advertisements—and items advertised therein—that feature homosexual imagery.
-Since most Australians, identify themselves as heterosexuals; these advertisements will be incongruent with mainstream consumers' self-concept and self-identity. (CoolOldVideos, 2012) (CoolOldVideos, 2012; Gough & McFadden, 2001) (Angelini & Bradley, 2010; Gough & McFadden, 2001) "All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." - Friedrich Nietzsche A man who says, 'I want to change, tell me how to', seems very earnest, very serious, but he is not. He wants an authority whom he hopes will bring about order in himself. But can authority ever bring about inward order? Order imposed from without must always breed disorder.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti Over to you....
- What are some changes that can be made at the following levels to reduce the prejudice experienced by people of an alternate sexuality:
1) Individual
3) Collective (Hooten, Noeva & Hammonds, 2009, p.1235) What are the implications at the three levels of analysis?

2) Relational
3) Collective Alternative Sexuality in Pop Culture Why is it acceptable that these people are 'Gay'? Musical Influences Macklemore's 'Same Love' 'Man that's gay' gets dropped on the daily
