Sandcastle - Microsoft CTP of a Help CHM file generator on the tails of the death of NDoc
Moments ago (my time) the Sandcastle CTP was released. Here's the Sandcastle Blog and here's a PowerPoint presentation on the new project. This is a very early CTP from Microsoft that supports generating documentation from any .NET language, much like NDoc.
It's great that Microsoft is paying attention to the whole "need for help files thing." However, be warned, this is uber-early stuff, and not very smooth. Actually, it's pretty darned rough. The instructions on what your batch/build/msbuild/powershell/whatever is going to need to orchestrate is here. The instructions are ghetto. Here's a slightly less ghetto Powershell script that will at least compile the example, assuming you have Powershell.
- Assuming you have .NET 2.0 SDK and Powershell...you'll need to, of course, enable scripts via something like set-executionpolicy unrestricted
- Note: Powershell has nothing to do with Sandcastle. I just did the script because it's wicked easy in PSH.
- Download Sandcastle July CTP.
- Run this Powershell script of mine to build the example: File Attachment: sandcastledoc.ps1 (1 KB)
Remember you'll need HTML Help Workshop if you're going to make CHMs (Compiled Help files). Here's the compiled example test.chm: File Attachment: Test.chm (31 KB)
Sandcastle for .NET 1.1
One note, I was able to get Sandcastle to generate help for a .NET 1.1 application, which is a very important developer scenario I hope they don't forget about. However, Sandcastle linked the 1.1 help up to the Framework 2.0 XML help for the .NET Framework BCL (Base Class Library) by default. If you change the sandcastle.config to refer to
<data files="%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\*.xml" /> (line 48 in this CTP)
it appears to link up nicely for 1.1 apps even though Sandcastle uses .NET 2.0 for its reflection.
NDoc: The Death of a (great) Open Source Project
On a related note, it's going to take a while (6 months to a year?) for Microsoft to really get Sandcastle to the point where Kevin Downs got NDoc. Will this new tool be as rich and useful? Or will it be forgotten like HTML Help Workshop?
Recently Kevin Downs, the leader of NDoc, emailed a NDoc folks announcing that NDoc is dead. I was shocked to get this email, but sadly, not surprised. Here's an important part of his email:
Unfortunately, despite the almost ubiquitous use of NDoc, there has been no support for the project from the .Net developer community either financially or by development contributions. Since 1.3 was released, there have been the grand total of eleven donations to the project. In fact, were it not for Oleg Tkachenko's kind donation of a MS MVP MSDN subscription, I would not even have a copy of VS2005 to work with!
To put this into perspective, if only roughly 1-in-10 of the those who downloaded NDoc had donated the minimum allowable amount of $5 then I could have worked on NDoc 2.0 full-time and it could have been released months ago! Now, I am not suggesting that this should have occurred, or that anyone owes me anything for the work I have done, rather I am trying to demonstrate that if the community values open-source projects then it should do *something* to support them. MS has for years acknowledged community contributions via the MVP program but there is absolutely no support for community projects.
Apparently Kevin started getting threats - yes, you heard right, threats - about a .NET 2.0 version and has been email-bombed. He's rightfully decided to bow out after a successful run.
If you're a fan of the whole N* stack, you've used NAnt, NUnit, NDoc, NCover, for years. We take for granted that these programs just work. They are fundamental. Some folks think they are our right to possess, but they forget about the real people with real lives that write this Open Source stuff in their spare time.
Hanselman Editorial Aside: It's a shame that Microsoft can't put together an organization like INETA (who already gives small stipends to folks to speak at User Groups) and gave away grants/stipends to the 20 or so .NET Open Source Projects that TRULY make a difference in measurable ways. The whole thing could be managed out of the existing INETA organization and wouldn't cost more than a few hundred grand - the price of maybe 3-4 Microsoft Engineers.
Phil makes a good point when it compares Open Source to "Source Available" with regards to Community Server. It's great that some OS products can turn into commercial apps with an OS "lite" version.
For "base of the pyramid" fundamental stuff like Build, Test, Coverage, Docs, will we pay for them? We should. Should we have given the NDoc project $5? Did NDoc help me personally and my company? Totally. Did I donate? No, and that was a mistake. I agree with Phil. Support those 5, 10, 20 truly Open Source projects with a little of your time or money.
Personally, as an Open Source project co-leader, I'd much rather folks who use DasBlog pick a bug and send me a patch (unified diff format) than give money. I suspect that Kevin would have been happy with a dozen engineers taking on tasks and taking on bugs in their spare time.
We are blessed. This Open Source stuff is free. But it's free like a puppy. It takes years of care and feeding. You don't get to criticise a free puppy that you bring in to your home.
Goodbye Kevin and thanks for your hard work on NDoc.

Now we understand why taking care of nature is so important. One method for treating the environment better and saving money is to convert to green energy in the home. The tips below will give you some great ideas on how you can make green energy work for your home.
Consume energy more wisely by unplugging your device chargers when they are not in use. Chargers for laptops, mp3 players, cell phones and other devices use power when they're plugged in. This happens regardless of whether you're using the device or not.
Are you living on a farm? If you own your farm property, you could allow an energy company to rent a small plot of your land, so they can install an energy-generating wind turbine. You and your neighbors will benefit from free energy and this installation will not take a lot of space.
Think about heating your water with solar water heaters. If you live in a place with normally warm temperatures, try installing a system that uses a solar heater. You still should keep your regular water heater as a backup because there may be times when there isn't a lot of sun or you have to use a lot of water that's hot.
Don't leave anything on that you aren't using. When exiting rooms, turn off the computer, television or lights. Try using a power strip so you can turn off all of your electronics at once, instead of letting power be wasted in standby mode.
Take the time to properly maintain your refrigerator. You have to ensure it is in great working condition, as it sucks up energy like a sponge. Use your duster to clean around your heating coils on a regular basis. Make sure door seals are clean and tight.
Use a model which is tankless and more green instead of a tank style heater. These still use gas and electricity to heat water, but they heat only what you use instead of continuously heating the whole tank. You can purchase tankless water heaters that are small enough to heat one faucet, or large enough to heat your entire house.
Convert your home into a more efficient place by investing into energy saving products. Examples of these include windows, light bulbs, and appliances, all of which have been designed to run efficiently on reduced energy. The use of these types of technologies can drastically reduce both your cooling and heating costs.
Build and use a solar oven to bake outdoors and save energy. You can make these with simple items, such as boxes, an old window, and some foil for reflection. This oven uses only solar energy and can reach cooking temperatures in excess of 300 degrees.
Make reminders for yourself. These reminders can help make sure you are doing all you can to conserve energy. Being conscious when it comes to your energy expenditures could help significantly reduce them. For instance, if your stated goal is to reduce your consumption of electricity and water, you are more apt to remember to turn off the lights and shut off the faucet when not using them.
Make your carbon footprint smaller and use less energy by using some of the great ideas above to show that you care about the environment. Saving money should be a big incentive!about energy everything green

Naked rambler Stephen Gough is back behind bars after a sheriff jailed him for contempt of court.
The controversial walker refused to wear clothes for the hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and was kept in the cells while the verdict was delivered. The 48-year-old has already spent 19 months in prison.
Gough was due to appear for sentencing by Sheriff Katherine Mackie yesterday after five Appeal Court judges ruled he was in contempt for an offence in December 2005. His legal team had appealed against four other verdicts of contempt.
However, the appeal was dismissed earlier in November and Gough was jailed for three months by Sheriff Mackie. He refused put on clothing in court, saying appearing naked does not constitute contempt for the court and that it is a fundamental freedom to appear unclothed in public.
The judge said the decision of the appeal court judges showed her original contempt verdict was the correct one and it was a matter of regret that Gough continued his contemptuous behaviour.
The naked rambler has been repeatedly re-arrested each time he has left jail without wearing clothes.

MLB: Scherzer improves to 13-0
Max Scherzer worked into the seventh inning to become the first pitcher in 27 years to get off to a 13-0 start, leading the Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Blue Jays in Toronto.
He is the first pitcher to begin the season with 13 wins and no losses since Roger Clemens was 14-0 for the Red Sox in 1986.
In Chicago, Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 32nd homer and added a tiebreaking two-run double to lead the Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox.
In Boston, pinch-hitter Jonny Gomes homered leading off the ninth inning to lift the Red Sox to a 2-1 win over the Padres.
Boston is 7-1 on its nine-game homestand that concludes today.
In Pittsburgh, Jeff Locke ran his winning streak to eight games, Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer and the Pirates beat the Phillies 6-5.
NBA: Rose stands by decision
Bulls star Derrick Rose said he's still recovering from knee surgery and vows to show sitting out last season was the right decision.
In an interview posted on the team's website, Rose said he had to be selfish in his rehab as he tried to work his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee even though sitting out was "one of the hardest things I've had to g

NFL: Warrant for 49ers LB on hold
The Santa Clara District Attorney's Office said it erroneously filed an arrest warrant for 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks after allegations he hit teammate Lamar Devens on the head three times with a beer bottle.
Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu-Towery said yesterday the office is still investigating and will decide next week whether or not to bring charges.
NHL: Kings Stoll suffers seizure
Kings center Jarret Stoll was hospitalized after suffering a seizure. The Los Angeles Times reported Stoll fell ill at his home.
The 31-year-old Stoll missed all but the first game of the Kings' second-round playoff series against the Sharks after suffering a concussion.
Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was named to the league's All-Star team for the sixth time and he made it at two positions. The MVP made the first team at right wing for the first time, but also was named to the second team as a left wing despite playing just four games there all season.
GOLF: Simpson hoping for a change
Webb Simpson hopes to have another late lead at the Greenbrier Classic — and this time hang onto it as the tournament gets underway today in West Virginia.
Two years ago, Simpson made the turn in the final round of the Greenbrier Classic with a one-stroke lead before finishing two strokes out of a playoff. Last year, Simpson lost a one-shot lead on the back nine again with three straight bogeys. Phil Mickelson also is in the tournament.

One of the most significant problems that Christians and creationists encounter from atheists is that they seem to want us to accept their evolutionary materialistic naturalistic presuppositions, but they do not want to let us have our own presuppositions. Because we reject their views and believe God's Word and in miracles, we are often labeled "science deniers" or "reality deniers". The problem here is that they are denying logic itself by imperiously setting the definitions of "science" and "reality" in their favor. From there, they feel entitled to ridicule and misrepresent us. I don't rightly recollect anybody appointing atheists to be in charge of definitions.
|Image credit: Wikimedia Commons / Larch
Something we frequently encounter is the straw man fallacy. Basically, it's a misrepresentation of an opponent's position and then attacking that instead of the real position. Professing atheists do this frequently. Making a straw man argument is easy to do, and people often do it by accident.
It's no surprise to come into contact with atheists and evolutionists who misrepresent the Bible, Christians, creationists, and so on in a malicious way. They'll cherry-pick things out of the Bible that are taken out of contexts (not just the context of the surrounding verses, but historical, cultural, linguistic, and so on). Then when they have their bucket of picked cherries, they dry gulch Christians with items for us to defend. I'll allow that other times, someone gets a wrong notion and makes a challenge on something out of context, but is not being malicious.
An atheist on YouTube posted a little-watched video (269 views at this writing) called, "A Challenge to Christians". He seems to want to be reasonable and hear our side of the story, but he has grabbed some things that are, again, out of context. (Interesting how people claim to come up with stumpers or even things that cannot be answered, but don't bother to do their homework; most of the answers are readily available online through various apologetics ministries.) The video begins with a vague misrepresentation of Matthew 10:33 to prod us into participating or we're denying Christ, but I can hazard a guess as to why he didn't actually use the context, even if only the whole paragraph in Matthew 10:26-33.
It is indeed unfortunate that many Christians are slack jawed when confronted with the alleged stumpers that atheists throw our way. That's because too many professing Christians do not actually believe the entirety of the Bible, yet claim it's true enough to give them eternal salvation. My challenge to Christians (as I've stated many times before) is to know what and why you believe. Get into the Word and good biblical teaching, not that Rev. Dr. Feelgood-style nonsense. We are to be ready to give an answer (1 Peter 3:15). Those of us who are biblical creationists have many excellent resources available to not only build up our own faith, but to help equip us to give answers.
Dr. James White took that atheist's "Challenge to Christians" and pointed out several flaws in the author's naturalistic presuppositions and reasoning. (He was under time and other constraints, so he could not go into as much detail as he'd like.) The video is embedded below, and the link to the audio is here. The first part of Dr. White's discussion about something else is also helpful, but the pertinent area begins at the 14 minute 14 second mark and ends at 34:12. I'd be much obliged if you'd see how the atheist's misrepresentations are answered. If you want to see it, the atheist's original video is here. For more about evidence, presuppositions, and logic, you may want to see my article, "Evidential or Presuppositional Apologetics?"

Obesity, a cure for loss of identity
While we stigmatise fat people, perhaps they are behaving normally in a sick social environment. The answer then is not diets, drugs and surgery but a wholesale change in the culture of consumption, which itself is a reaction to the emptiness of affluence.

Philippines: Hurricane Resitant Roofing
|Project NAME
|Technical support to make local construction techniques in the Philippines more hurricane resistant
|FVEMT, Belgian Red Cross – french speaking community, Swiss Red Cross, Belgian Red Cross- Flemish, IFRC
|To investigate identified and relevant technical questions and produce relevant resources for technical support to the reconstruction effort.
|11 months, January 2014 to December 2014
As the pictures of the devastation after Typhoon Hayan show clearly, the most affected were as always the huts and houses of the poor, who don't have the means to buy high quality construction materials and consult engineers when they construct.
Given Philippines' exposure to typhoons and other natural disasters as flooding and landslides, it is obvious that construction techniques need to be improved. The improvements need to start at the anchoring of lightweight buildings and particularly target the fixings of structural joints as well as of cladding materials to the structure. Additionally, solid and comprehensible technical information on material performance is critical.
Low cost construction does not have to mean poor quality. Sometimes little technical details make all the difference. In addition, most of the material solutions exist, but there is a lack of clear comprehensible information on exact performance of the commonly used materials, like CGI sheets and related fixings, particularly on their application in supper low-low-cost construction.
- Compile findings and recommendations in a field manual on the use of CGI sheets and related fixings.
- Disseminate relevant technical basics in the form of practical workshops and information sessions for people who are rebuilding their homes as well as agencies that are supporting reconstruction
- Promote safer construction of low-cost housing in the areas at risk

I have a Kenmore 116.36932 (upright-bagless vacuum) that the motor protector by-pass valve has opened. I've clean out the area between the agitator brush where the flexible extension hose starts. There was some blockage there. I checked the rest of the system (extenstion hose, back filter area, pipe area to canister and area to side filter. I took the 2 filters out and the by-pass valve is still open. Where else could there be a blockage that I can take apart to clean and put back together

I started of with gt models having a good day and a good laugh with the staff I had my make up and hair done and I thought I look ace the girls where nice and we had fun.
Then it started to rain and I got so wet as I didnt take out an umbrella out with me which made me fuming and my make up was left rolling down my face. The last thing I wanted on my test shoot.
So I demanded another one at this point I was livid I was wet cold and in a horrendous mood. Just to be told idea have to come back at some other time as the rest of there slots was full for that day.
To make my day worse I got declined. I went to GT models to create myself a career and a future for them to tell me no. How dare they. They dont know who've they've just said no to because now there gonna have a fight on there hands.
I'm the best person they could have asked for now they have lost me. I dont even have a bad attitude so I dont know why I got declined. No need nothing makes me more angry.
So thanks a bunch for nothing GT

Pantheistic faiths were an expression of different racial and psychological
archetypes in religious characters, with the exception of Sumerian faith,
which largely elevated profitable social functions and institutions to the
levels of godhood.
Loki, Kali and Christ are an eternal golden braid. They all share some story
bullet points that made them hedges against mankind's exposure to the
apocalypse initiated by a banker elite. An aspect of the Godhood needn't
necessarily be a trickster to act in this manner (though it is most
frequently a trickster that exhibits this behavior because the trickster has
the least to lose). Kali was definitely not a trickster, and most people do
not consider Christ to be (though I do). When I was in India, I was
examining old Vedic art with a sadhu. I saw a picture of Mahakali stabbing a
crowned man to death. At the top of the man's sceptre was a Star of David.
When I asked about this piece, the sadhu said it was an old story that is
taboo now.
Aryanism is a divine spirit. When you talk to a Pentecostal, they describe
the Holy Spirit as something that hits you like a train. It feels your body
to such an extreme that you cannot ignore its action. Aryanism is not about
race-- there are Hispanic Aryans (read Miguel Serrano sometime for some of
the most beautiful gnostic-Aryan rhetoric and prose you will ever consume),
Aryans of primarily African origin (see the Nepels in India and the
radicalized peoples of Libya), Aryans of Asiatic origin (these were greatly
concentrated in Japan, before being wiped out by the Shinto cult which was
founded by a lost Jewish tribe, there are also plenty of these on the
Indian/Nepal border), Middle Eastern Aryans (in Afghanistan and Iran) and
Aryans of European descent (some still in Germany, many in Austria,
Switzerland and Poland and a dying few in Greece, Italy, Norway and
Aryanism is a body of information which certain bodies of information make
you more perceptible to. Certain life experiences can give you a sense of
"deja vu" of things you have done before. Certain chemicals and bacterias
can make you more succeptible to the Aryan spirit. Regardless of your
descendance, you can be transformed into a proper being through expression
of the Aryan experience. It is a choice. Spirit or materiality. It is one
you make every day.
Baldr wasn't a great god. He accomplished nothing. He had the modern
equivalent of spinning rims and a big house in a gated community on the
basis of his inheritance. He was a symbol of something evil commonly
attributed amongst communities succeptible to Demiurgic influence-- one's
success in life being determined by being born into the right circumstance
and not by the fruit of one's labor. Loki, as an avatar of the living
Godhead, defended man's freedom against slavery by arranging for Baldr's
I have paid for my life in precious blood. Conditions of my existence now
involving law enforcement surveillance prevent me from continuing to engage
in this practice. I can only hope that others can find the gnosis of God
through similar practice. There is something magical about watching the life
slip out of evil being's eyes. Try it sometime.
You may access pieces of gnosis through many means. DMT is a good start, if
you can find it. Fasting and meditation I highly suggest. Gnosis is
collected gradually. You won't figure it out all in one shot. It is
delivered in small pieces. Just keep awareness at all times because God can
and will communicate to you through many paths in many places. I personally
received my largest piece at the Mahakali shrine atop the ruins of Golconda.
I know the pieces fit, because I watched them fall away. One day they all
click and you are wholly transformed.

..a definite and resounding "Yes, they can!" In this paragraph you'll encounter 18 celebs who can testify to this fact.
The truth of the matter is that wearing make-up is not required 24-7 around the clock, and so, many famous people go easy on the beauty box when not in the spotlight. A great deal of the rich and famous chooses to be make-up free because that is how they feel best. Whether you find this amazing or not, that is how things are. Not all women let themselves be defined through their outer appearance. Some say no to the mask when it is not a downright requirement. How come? Well, one attempt at an explanation may be that our outer appearance may not be the only defining factor in determining who we are as women. Confidence and belief in self is not necessarily something to be contained within a beauty box, it could be more of an inner quality which, in turn, does not always correspond with our outer appearance.
Ditching make-up, therefore, need not be a sign of weakness. On the very contrary it could denote a need and an ability to show the world who you are without painting an idealized pic and carry it around as a second self.

Good morning! #mynaturalbeauty I know us girls love to put on makeup, not only for fun but sometimes to hide our insecurities…well, here is a photo of me without ANY makeup on my face. I took this photo while arriving to set this morning. Personally, I struggled with acne for a long time. I used to cry every night because I thought I looked so ugly. I used to read comments about my face, my skin, my nose, my eyes, and even my beauty marks people didn't approve of. Putting makeup over acne makes it so much worse. I know lots of my friends also struggle with acne and it's something you can't control. I know lots of people think others with acne are " dirty" or "don't take care of themselves". That is false. My question to you is: Why should we be judged? Use #mynatrualbeauty & lets inspire every girl to be proud of what they look like and who they are. I love you guys. Oh and ps…If you don't accept me for my insecurities please get off my page 🙂 #mynaturalbeauty

Hello Ladies! Happy Fall! Hope everyone is enjoying this glorious time of year; the chillier air, the changing and falling leaves; all of the markers of another year coming to a close, and a hint at the new one about to unfold. I first wanted to thank all of you who answered our call this past summer to send in any questions you might have about aging in a female body. I am so grateful for your participation, as it allowed us to address your inquries in the next volume of the @TheBodyBook. It is centered around the mental, physical and emotional journey of aging. And as we diligently put the finishing touches on the book, we'd like to ask for your help once more. This book is for you and about you and that's why we'd like to see you on the cover. Much like the cover of the Body Book, under the jacket, were we featured women of all different shapes, sizes, builds and ethnicities. We would like for you to feel represented again, this time to show where you are in your process of aging. So we invite you to take a picture of yourself. It should look much like the one I have here; against a plain background, this general framing-you can crop closer to a portrait, and the higher-def the better! We'd like to see more of that beautiful face of yours than the body this time. And if you want to snap one with yourself and your mom and your daughter together, or any multiple generations or expressions of your journey with aging, we'd love to see those, too! And for the 50 we use on the actual cover, we'll send you a signed copy of the book when it hits bookstores in April. So be yourself with it, be brave with it, have fun with it, and we can't wait to see. Thank you again and Happy Selfie-ing!! Ox, Cameron To submit, click the link in my profile.

One Direction's Niall Horan has finally released his new single 'Slow Hands'.
The track is the second effort we've heard from Niall, and it's a world away from 'This Town' and sees him channelling Olly Murs.
But don't just take our word for it, listen to 'Slow Hands' below:
While Zayn was technically the first One Direction star to go solo after quitting the band, Niall was the first of the remaining members to release a solo single after they went on an extended hiatus in late 2015.
Since then, Louis Tomlinson reached number two with 'Just Hold On' and Harry Styles topped the charts with 'Sign of the Times', so Niall will hope to top 'This Town', which reached No.9 last year.
'Slow Hands' was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Julian Bunetta.
"I've been listening to a lot of early '80s stuff lately and been inspired by that heavy bass and the funky guitar sound," Niall explained of the track.
He broke away from Simon Cowell's record label to release his solo stuff, but has recently tried to mend those bridges.
"Please don't hate me. We were very close to Simon for years and had a lot of success together. I just felt like I wanted and needed a fresh start.
"It's a long time to be at a label, I wanted to broaden my horizons and try something new," Niall explained.
He's also been talking about the reasons behind One Direction's hiatus, putting it down to their gruelling schedule.

Apple stays true to Steve Jobs' maxim that users don't want to subscribe to music, but Rhapsody hopes the company will allow its "rental" service to fill that niche on the iPhone — despite a history of animosity between the two companies. Rhapsody's yet-to-be-approved app for the iPhone and iPod Touch would allow Rhapsody subscribers to stream more than 8 million tracks, including all their existing playlists and customized collection.
If you already pay $15/month for Rhapsody To Go (the same option that allows playback on devices that support Microsoft's PlaysforSure DRM), Rhapsody for the iPhone would be free to download and use. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news: Rhapsody told Wired.com that the app will operate on either 3G or Wi-Fi, but lacks an offline playback mode, unlike Spotify's app, submitted earlier. That means that without a solid 3G or Wi-Fi connection, the iPhone app will not play music. For a service like this to be a reliable mobile listening option, an offline mode is of the utmost importance. Otherwise, the app is more a novelty — if you can't listen to it on the subway or the highway it's not your primary portable music player.
Rhapsody confirmed what it told gdgt — that it plans to try to add an offline mode in the next generation, but only if Apple allows this version of the app into the store. Rhapsody has also made another concession to Apple: If a user decides to buy a track while streaming it, the "buy" links go to iTunes' AAC store, rather than to Rhapsody's MP3 store.
Spotify's iPhone app, on the other hand, includes no "buy" links to iTunes. That's something Apple could view as a slap in the face, along with the offline mode that would obviate the need for some users to purchase music at all, let alone purchase it from iTunes. Apple could block Spotify's iPhone app (possibly driving its users to the Android platform), while approving Rhapsody's app.
These two old digital music foes could find it in their best interest to forge an alliance when faced with the game-changing nature of Spotify and other cloud-based music services.
My prediction: Rhapsody's gets approved, Spotify's doesn't.

Streaming giant Netflix will use New York's historic Paris Theatre, which had been shuttered earlier this year, for special events and screenings of its films — the latest twist in the company's ongoing spat with the traditional film industry.
The theatre — the city's last single-screen movie house, located in the heart of Manhattan on 57th Street, not far from Central Park and the Plaza hotel — closed in late August after 71 years in business.
It had reopened in early November for what seemed like a one-off event — a limited theatrical run for Netflix's Oscar contender "Marriage Story" by New York director Noah Baumbach.
But it would seem that Netflix had bigger plans, AFP reported.
"Now, the iconic theatre will be kept open and become a home for special Netflix events, screenings, and theatrical releases," the company said Monday in a series of Twitter messages.
The details of the deal were not disclosed, but industry site Deadline Hollywood said it was a 10-year lease agreement.
Netflix has been in a low-grade battle with traditional Hollywood for some time over the Oscar eligibility requirements that films in contention run in regular theatres for a certain period of time.
But many major theatre chains have refused to deal with Netflix unless it consents to longer runs of its films — and a longer waiting period between any film's theatrical release and its streaming debut.
Currently, the waiting period generally agreed upon by studios and the major chains is 90 days.
That means Netflix has relied thus far on indie movie houses for its releases, but the leasing of the Paris Theater would seem to mark a new phase in its strategy.
For months, it has reportedly been in talks to buy the historic Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
On Monday, Deadline Hollywood reported that Netflix had indeed acquired a majority stake in that Los Angeles venue, but Netflix has yet to confirm the deal.
The Paris opened in 1948 when screen legend Marlene Dietrich cut the ribbon.
It turned into one of the country's most notable art house theatres, focusing on films often ignored by multiplexes.

Ten Miles is a Long Walk
I was anxious before the hike began. The entire church group planned to walk ten miles in preparation for the Pioneer Trek we'll be taking in July. The trail was a fairly flat bike path, but ten miles is still a long way to walk for people who aren't used to walking very much. I worried that one or more of my children would, at some point, sit down on the trail and declare they couldn't go any further. I worried that there would be blisters and pain. I worried that if one of the kids had to be rescued part way by a vehicle, then that kid would refuse to go on Trek at all. But we needed to know what ten miles of walking would do to us, because if we did need to be rescued, perhaps the trek was inadvisable.
We were all good until mile eight. That was when Howard's legs began aching in new and interesting ways. It was also when Link slowed down and began to limp. By the end he was hobbling along and wincing, but he continued. He did not stop. He did not give up. And we made it to the end.
The remainder of the day was spent sitting on cushy pieces of furniture and wincing any time we had to move. Yet I can tell that all we suffer from is some sore muscles. We'll be better fairly quickly. There were a few small blisters, but we can attend to those. We all did ten miles with very little advance training. If we do more walking in the two months between now and the trek, we'll be fine.

From 5/15 to 5/17, consumers interacted with a seemingly robotic JetBlue crew member for a Q&A about JetBlue service offerings at a digital storefront display on 555 6th Avenue in New York City. In surprising fashion, consumers were actually engaging with a live crew member resulting in hilarious interactions.
Nominating Company: Pearl Media, Fairfield, New Jersey
Venue: 555 6th Ave., New York, New York
Project: JetBlue Q & A
Category: Public Spaces
JetBlue set out to reinforce the superiority and humanity of their customer service in the NYC market. The campaign needed to be in real time, and most importantly, be personable. Our approach was
a surprise-and-delight digital storefront experience that captured genuine human reactions.
Creating a seamless interaction between consumers and a JetBlue crew member proved to be the largest hurdle. To ensure the surprise and-delight strategy, the execution required a cleaner execution than a simple two-way video communication. Without a higher scale production, the live crew member reveal could easily be blown prior to the dialogue climax, resulting in poor consumer engagements. Capturing dozens of quality consumer engagements was crucial to the campaign end-game, a branded JetBlue video promotion.
To ensure quality engagements with consumers, we fabricated a live digital studio inside the storefront as a control hub. Each element of the studio played a unique role in the process.
Main Stage:
Primary studio camera, lighting and talent backdrop, providing live HD video feed.
Control Room:
Audio mixer and engineer providing two-way communication between users and talent and submix for director, crew and talent earwig. Video switcher and operator providing real-time switching, button animation and compositing into interactive display
Hidden Camera Crew:
Three fixed hidden cameras (wired and wireless)
Three handheld cameras
Digital imaging technician
Director, producers, camera department, casting & release and production support
The technology resulted in hilarious and heartwarming interactions that were filmed and edited into a promotional video. The video was distributed to key press outlets netting 2,227,304 earned media impressions.
Pearl Media won the DSE 2016 Silver Apex Award in the Public Spaces category.

May 26.We left Geneva yesterday at 12:40, reaching here about eight last evening. The last thing we did before leaving was to walk to the island of Rousseau, which was quite near us.
The tall Lombardy poplars and other trees give the island a picturesque appearance. Five beautiful mouse colored swans, very young ones, were swimming in the river about the island and about the monument.
Miss Webber left Geneva before us. She said "God bless you," twice, when bidding me farewell.
Among the last things I noticed before leaving the station at Geneva were three trees of good size covered with purple trumpet-shaped blossoms, the young leaves scarcely showingthe blossoms being so thick and large. I have frequently spoken of these trees in my journal. Beautiful wild flowers were blooming on the banks of the railwaythe same that I gathered at Bouveret; rare flowers, blossoming with buttercups, wild geraniums and oxeye daisies, As seen from the cars the trees in Switzerland seem much like our own. While in the low lands between the Jura Alps and the great Alps, L. remarked "Not much Alpine about this." Soon we came to Lake Neuchatel where there was a fine display of distant white and blue mountains and we wondered whether they were in Interlaken or those we saw at Lucerne. L. said perhaps Jungfrau was one. One high mountain resembled a great pile of snow. "Unexpected return of high Alps," L. said. When we reached the town of Neuchatel there was a wondering over the mountains ! Soon there was another lake and more brown vineyards. On the rocks were creeping bunches of low pink flowers. The flower beds were brilliant with red peonies. We were on high ground and looked down upon great, broad valleys below us, in one of which was a very low church with a tall spire. Other churches, houses and hamlets were in the valleys ; there were many tunnels. About five we were ascending the Jura mountains, which gave us these views, going over the Jura-Simplon Pass. We were delighted with all this beauty and grandeur. L. said it was "funny how we had to twist around to get out of the Alps." We consider this pass worthy to be compared with the three others we have been over. We passed close by Swiss farmhouses and barnsoften in one long large building; noticed old-fashioned stages. Everything was very green, fresh and spring-like. There was rain just at the close of our journey and great golden clouds. We are at Hotel Gothard.
Later.Since writing we have taken rides in the electric trams to see this venerable old city. The river Rhine divides it into two unequal parts. L. was anxious to see the river at this point. He finds it larger and broader than he supposed, and quite rapid. The two parts of the city are united by three bridges. We crossed two of themthe middle one having six piers of wood and six of stone. We went over it in an electric tram and noticed it afterwards from different points.
We admire the beautiful, large hawthorn trees here, with red or pure white blossoms, and the laburnum trees, with drooping yellow blossoms.
We have been to two markets and to the cathedral. The latter, formerly a Roman Catholic church, is now the principal Protestant church in Basle. It is on high ground, over-looking the Rhine. From a terrace back of the cathedral we had a splendid view of the river, the city and its bridges. There were trees there and dear little birds were singing. We found our way into the old cloisters but the church was closed. This old cathedral is one of the most peculiar we have seen, having on the front of the church two equestrian statues-one representing St. George killing the dragon, the other St. Martin dividing the cloak. The gay roof resembles oilcloth in the distance.
Basle, the lowest town in Switzerland north of the Alps, reminds me a little of Nuremburg because of the roofs and the old German style of architecture. "The climate is so mild that many fruits of southern climes thrive on its soil; the vegetable gardens are the finest in Switzerland and all sorts of fruit ripen here sooner than in almost any other part of the country."

Bubba Watson of the USA beat England's Paul Casey at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands for a second time.
Bubba Watson of the USA beat England's Paul Casey at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands for a second time.
Paul Casey started the final day promisingly with a hole-out eagle on the third. He finished strongly too, with three birdies in his last five holes. He carded a closing 65 to set a clubhouse total of 16-under-par.
Bubba Watson might have bettered that number, but he bogeyed the 17th hole. He too finished on 16-under and that meant extra holes were required to decide the tournament.
On the first playoff hole, both men made par on the par-4 18th at TPC River Highlands. At the second time of asking, Casey found a greenside bunker then flew his third shot across the green. Watson played an excellent approach then holed the resulting birdie putt to claim his eighth PGA Tour title. It was the second time he has won this event. He took the victory in 2010 – also in a playoff.
"It's just about staying calm," he said. "That's what you have to do, you just breathe and walk slower, take some deep breaths and focus on the fact that no matter what you still come in second place."
Although disappointed to have missed out on the victory, Paul Casey was pleased with his performance.
"There are always ifs and buts and could haves," Casey said. "But the goal was to give myself a chance to win, and I did that."
Brian Harman led through 54-holes but, despite birdies at his final two holes, he finished a shot behind Watson and Casey. The 28-year-old could console himself with the fact his third place finish earned him a place in The Open Championship at St Andrews.
There were four Open spots available at TPC River Highlands and the other three went to Graham DeLaet, Carl Pettersson and Luke Donald.

This is a guest post from Kayt Joyce who will be a panel member for Jam Session | branding edition on October 21st. Read on for the step by step process to defining your core branding so you can keep it clear, simple and consistent.
"KEEP IT SIMPLE, KEEP IT CLEAR, KEEP IT CONSISTENT." –Kayt Joyce
Communicate your business's CORE concepts in every single thing you do.
No. Matter. What. It's that simple.
But… what is your CORE?
What do you want your brand to communicate to everyone it interacts with?
What emotions do you want it to evoke in every element of your branding?
Branding is your effect on people. What they take with them, consciously or subconsciously when they interact with any aspect of you or your company. A brand is a curated grouping of various elements that they experience and reflect upon.
Finding your Business's CORE in 2 simple steps.
Get your word list on – spew that shit – don't think, don't question. Just FLOW BABY FLOW. This is the FUN PART – NO RULES!
Get yourself the best fresh and fun piece of paper you can find, your favorite pen (or in my case, fattest and most fabulous sharpie! Different colors even!) and let your brain F-L-O-W… This is the step in which you get it all out. No refinement here. We want a full page (multiple pages!!) of WORDS WORDS WORDS!
(Those super fun HUGE giant sticky notepads are great for this – you know you always wanted an excuse to buy one.)
List anything and everything about your company, any word that pops into your brain. What does your company do? What are its goals, qualities, intentions, visions, mission, and passions? WHY do you do what you do? What do you want your company to communicate? WHY are you in business?
This can be ongoing, no judgment. You do not have to do it all at once, but remember no thinking, just do. Work how you work best, but make sure to leave it all on the table.
This is where stuff get's a bit more serious. I mean it doesn't have to not be fun, but there is some big time reflecting going on and it can be uncomfortable for most. For some, boiling down their whole business and everything they do down to a few simple words can be a dreaded to do. That is why I stick with the word list approach; it is hard not to have fun brainstorming that way. And then no matter what roadblocks you hit in the process you have a big ol' fat pile of great content to work from to get back on track.
Ok, here we go… you can do it! Pick 3-5 single words from that beautiful word list you created that communicate EXACTLY what you want anyone who interacts with your brand to feel.
I know it is tough though – you have to dig deep and it takes 100% of your focus at this point. These words are now your CORE. But taking the time to find your solid core will save you umpteenth time, resources, money and not to mention sanity down the line. Trust me. Take the time to do this step at the start of your branding process.
When I work through this step with clients, it feels like I am their therapist, and in that moment I am! (Aren't we all each others therapists at some point? That is what makes all this creative collaboration so dang RAD!)
But that is the whole point. Do not focus on the overwhelm or all the directions your business could go in branding, types of graphic, colors, fonts, what you want your website to say, etc. Simply focus on your brand's foundation, find your core in these 2 simple steps and then just execute like the pro you are!
* Disclaimer – your core is not set in stone. It should be solid enough to be a foundation for years to come and should not make total shifts. But you grow, your business grows. Just don't let yourself create a faulty foundation due to a lack of simple branding.
Crosscheck and All-Call!
So you have created your CORE and you're in business. (Yay!) Each time you make a business choice you are executing your brand. Are you keeping it CLEAR, CONSISTENT and SIMPLE? Let's check:
You've created a great graphic for social media, you received the final proof for your latest ad, or you just finalized the plans for your new retail space design… Before you execute, ask yourself this: Does it communicate my business's CORE?
Yes? –> Go forth and conquer!
No? –> Why the hell not? Revise.
Keep a constant, conscious open dialog with yourself and your team about your branding and all your business – It will make it fun and a breeze.
Did you dig this? If so, join us for Jam Session where we will be discussing defining your brand. Ask Jessica your questions and meet other like-minded creative entrepreneurs. Get all the details here!

Once Carlow's richest family, The IRA & Banshees
This great house was built between 1818 and 1850 and was once home to the Duckett family. The Ducketts were Carlow's largest landowners for 300 years with an estate covering more than 12,000 acres. It was designed by the famous architect Thomas Codden in a castellated Gothic revival style for John Davidson Duckett which included fantasy towers, turrets, and ornamented oriels and niches. At its height, the house had 11 staff just to maintain the grounds alone. In 1908 the property passed to a land agent after an internal family feud and later again it was used by local farmers for storage and reputedly by a local branch of the IRA for organizing its flying columns. In 1933 the house was unfortunately destroyed by fire. Carlow County Council acquired Duckett's Grove in 2005 and has since restored the historical gardens which have examples of plants from all over the World. In 2011, Duckett's Grove was featured in an episode of SYFY's 'Destination Truth' to find out if the ruins are haunted by a banshee ghost…the outcome was…scary..!!

What's your favorite Disney animated short film? Watch some of the best Disney cartoons available online in our latest Screening Room post.
Screening RoomArticles
How do you forge a filmmaking dream team? Short film making competitions are a great place to test out your crew under pressure. This month we look at the work of some teams who have successfully used filmmaking competitions and made great short films in the process.
This month in our Screening Room we invite you to take a look at the early short films of three Academy Award-nominated directors: Damien Chazelle (La La Land), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) and Denis Velleneuve (Arrival).
Nothing beats film for a way to escape the real world, and what better way to dodge the family Christmas dramas than fresh and gorgeous fantasy and sci/fi? SMS team member Clayton breaks up your holiday break with striking fresh shorts that span around the world and into new ones.
The search for love is sometimes fraught with disaster but being a hopeless romantic – and single – Clayton Barnett from the Show Me Shorts team can't help but fall in love with shorts on falling in love.
Film and music reviewer and Show Me Shorts ambassador Francesca Rudkin discusses four of her favourite shorts from this years Show me Shorts Film Festival. Ranging from a nostalgic comedy that attempts to create an idealized past, unsuccessful flat-hunts, delightful animations and even to a story of motherhood and consolidating crying children. Francesca shares her top picks!
While short films are a fantastic medium in their own right, they can also be a staging ground for exploration of ideas bound for a feature-length treatment. In this edition of the Screening Room, we explore two shorts that have made this transition and one headed in that direction.
There's no question that Kiwi short film makers punch above their weight on the global stage. We're plucky, resourceful and have a strong tradition of oral story telling that goes back generations. This month we asked acclaimed Canadian-New Zealand documentary filmmaker Leanne Pooley for her take on our short films, and to pick some of her favourites. Here they are for your enjoyment.
Some of the best short films focus on the plight of one truly great character. They don't need to be saving the world or falling into the greatest love story of all time. They might just be going about their day of auditions or trying to record an answer phone message that encapsulates their personality. Done well, this can be mesmerizing. In our latest Screening Room post, Kiwi filmmaker Allan George demonstrates the importance of identity with three truly great shorts.
Here are three whanau-featuring highlights from our 2015 programme, as selected by one of our programmers, Clayton Barnett. Whether you're a father, grandmother, step-son, half-sister, cousin, aunt or whatever, you'll find something you can relate to here.

Yame Tea is famous not just in Japan but increasingly throughout the world! In late April, a group of foreign residents from Fukuoka City visited Yuge Seicha, one of Yame City's most dedicated tea growers, during the first harvest of the year. Not only did they get to pick tea leaves, but they also got a tour of the plant and enjoyed a very special lunch including several dishes made with freshly picked tea. Read about their day trip below, including how you can join and where to buy delicious, authentic green tea, but first, let us introduce you to Yame-cha.
Introduction to Yame-cha – Taste, Aroma & Hue
Yame-cha, or Yame Tea, is the brand name representing all the tea produced in the Yame area, which is in the south of Fukuoka Prefecture. Within Japan, Yame-cha is the sixth largest tea brand, and most of it is grown within Yame City (with some farms also in Chikugo City, Hirokawa-machi in Yame-gun, Ukiha City and Asakura City). Chikushino Plain, located in southern Fukuoka, is ideal for growing tea: Kyushu's largest plain receives 1,600 to 2,400 mm of rainfall per year, and temperatures are high during the day and drop drastically at night, which is important if you want to grow rich, sweet tea in large amounts. What's more, the ethereal mist and fog often found blanketing the fields in the morning don't just add an air of mystery and beauty; they protect the leaves from the sunshine's harshest rays. As a result, the Yame Tea grown here is packed with theanine, glutamic acid and arginine – if you're not up on your chemical compounds, then just understand these give Yame Tea its rich flavor! The young tea leaves are steamed deeply (in a method called fukamushi) before being made into a tea which, when brewed, creates a green, sweet and flavorful cup of cha.
Yuge Seicha
Yuge Seicha's tea has won several awards at national tea conventions and tea contests in Kyushu. Not only do they provide the world with excellent tea, but they place emphasis on innovation and outreach. More than 20 years ago, Yuge Seicha was one of the few tea companies in Japan to begin to reduce its use of pesticides and fertilizers. Yuge Seicha is also keen to promote tea amongst the younger generations. For over ten years, they have regularly visited elementary schools in the area to teach children the pleasures of authentic tea: its benefits, how to prepare it and how best to enjoy it. They want children to know what truly good tea is like, as opposed to the bottled variety found in convenience stores. They continue to dedicate themselves to producing great tea: from tea leaf to tea cup.
Already tempted by a cuppa? You can find a wide range of teas on their official website. Shopping from overseas? Take a look at their Amazon shop, where you can find not only tea but "Hospitality Sets" including teapots, mats and premium green tea.
A group of foreign residents from Fukuoka City – made up of a Brit, a Canadian, and three Germans – went on a day trip to explore Yame and try tea picking first hand. Here's their report…
Discovering Yame-cha, Shincha and Yame City
Japan is famed for its green tea; it's enjoyed at home, is served in restaurants, accompanies wagashi sweets and has it's own ceremony. But where does the process start? The answer may be closer than you think. On Apr. 24, a small group of foreigners and Fukuoka Now staff enjoyed a day trip to witness the first harvest of the year, and see some nearby attractions in Yame. Our host was Yuge Seicha, a passionate family-run Yame-cha tea grower and producer. Below are some snapshots from this unforgettable day!
Mr. and Mrs. Yuge, the owners of Yuge Seicha.
The first harvest usually takes place over two weeks sometime around the end of April. It's a mad rush to pick and process all the tea. The entire extended family, their children and everyone's friends are all involved.
This is the Yuge Seicha factory and shop. It's about 15 minutes by car from Nishimuta Station (JR Line) which is about one hour from Hakata Station in Fukuoka.
Upon arrival we were immediately served freshly brewed shincha (tea from the first harvest).
We were also handed a bottle of water with a sachet of green tea leaves to infuse the water and keep us fuelled for the rest of the day. Portable green tea!
Field after field of tea
We were first taken on a short drive, winding up through the green hills to view some of the tea fields. From this high vantage point, all was green as far as the eye could see. The fields of tea were punctuated with tall windmills, whose propellers start automatically and push air downwards as a type of "anti-frost" device. Some of the tea leaves were also covered over to help them become greener more quickly. The tips (the top two leaves and the bud) grow much slower and so tea made with the tips is very good, albeit very expensive!
Different types of tea are divided into different plots. Kabuse cha tea, for example, is deprived of sunshine by the use of a black plastic cover, so that the leaves become soft and green. In order to be classified as kabuse cha the plants must be covered for five days of the week.
Equipped with bamboo baskets, we headed out to try tea-picking for ourselves!
The leaves are uncovered ready to be picked
We were given a quick tea-picking demonstration and instructed to only pick the bud and the top two leaves: they are the youngest, the softest and not as bitter. The trick is to try to keep the leaves whole, first collecting them in your individual basket and then transferring them to a bigger sack.
One kilogram of leaves equates to 200 grams of tea and the leaves we collected are going to be made into tea and sent to us, so we can enjoy the taste of Yame Tea in the comfort of our own homes.
After seeing how leaves are picked, we proceeded to see the next stage of the process: how the leaves are made into tea powder.
The leaves are placed on the conveyor belt ready to be processed
The leaves are steamed, separated from the stems, dried and then swished around in a process which takes four to five hours and requires a series of custom-made machines.
Perhaps the most impressive part of the day was when the owner showed us the pure juice which can be obtained from tea leaves after they have been steamed. He squeezed the tea leaves, producing a bright green liquid on the back of our hands, which admittedly tasted a bit bitter, but wonderfully refreshing. You can't get tea any fresher – that is for sure!
Our tour was rounded off with an introduction to the art of properly brewing tea. After many intricate steps including slowly shaking the teapot, we enjoyed several small cups of tea.
We then made a stop at the factory shop to make sure we were well stocked up with tea (as well as treating ourselves to the great Yame-cha t-shirts the family were sporting!) before settling down to a well-earned lunch. (Want to have Yuge Seicha tea delivered straight to your door? Shop online here or here.)
All participants ate outside together and were treated to a tea-themed bento lunch consisting of matcha flavoured mochi, tea tempura and tea pancakes.
There were two cooking stations – one for the tempura and one for the pancakes – both of which included freshly picked tea leaves in the batter.
The pancakes were enjoyed with anko, sugar cane or pickles and mayonnaise and we finished off lunch with strawberries (which were still in season)!
Tummies full of a tea-riffic lunch, it was time to explore the city of Yame! Our first stop was Yame Traditional Craftwork Center, where we saw displays of many local handicrafts and cultural exhibits.
Yame is famous for producing stone lanterns of the kind which are often found in Japanese gardens.
We also tried on the light, comfortable tea-picking backpacks which are made from woven bamboo, another local handicraft.
One of the highlights was the washi, (japanese paper) making area. The entire process was on display. There was even a kozo tree outside the building, the bark of which is used to make the pulp.
Indeed, Yame has the longest history of washi-making in Kyushu. The process requires a lot of water so it is often made close to rivers. At one time the number of washi factories peaked at 2,000 but now only two remain.
A tour of the paper-making facilities
The finished product
There are also various colors available
After a lengthy process of collecting, steaming, bleaching, washing with water, filtering, pounding, squeezing out the water, re-adding water, filtering out the fiber, squeezing out the water again and then drying, paper is created. The end product was available to buy in a little shop next door.
You can browse and purchase a variety of products made from the paper produced here
From here the next point of interest was a visit to a full-scale model of a puppet theatre used at an annual festival at the nearby Hatchimangu Shrine. The full-scale model contains a bridge, two pavilions, sakura and momiji (Japanese maple trees).
The puppets used were also available for viewing. These "old-age robots", as one tour-participant described them, were originally made of whale bone, although they are now made of wood. A very intricate internal construction is used to make them move.
Visiting Yame in April also meant that the beautiful wisteria were in full bloom and we were taken to a wisteria walkway over a former train track. Walking through the streets of Yame we encountered traditional wooden and white-walled buildings and even spotted a house with little stone mice hidden at various points along the facade.
Many thanks to the Yuge family and staff at Yuge Seicha for this wonderful experience. This was not only a great day trip, but an insight into the effort and dedication behind every cup of Yame-cha. We can't wait to do it again!

What's your cup of tea?
Here are several kinds from Yuge Seicha
Fukamushi Sencha
Yuge Seicha steam their leaves two to three times longer than usual; this gives their tea a finer, more powdery texture, and the tannin (which gives tea its bitterness and sharpness) breaks down more, resulting in a tea with a more mellow flavor. Fukamushi Sencha is, pure and simple, a delicious, flavorful tea.
Cha Nouveau
Tea made with the first tea leaves of the season! The tender tea leaves are packed with an unrivaled delicious flavor.
¥1,400 (tax incl.) for 100 g
Gokujo Fukamushi Sencha
This tea has a rich and mellow taste. By steaming the tea leaves for a long period, it takes the bitterness out and softens the tea leaves, bringing out the sweetness of the tea. This tea is deep green in color and is full of insoluble nutrients.
¥2,160 (tax incl.) for 100 g
Fukamushi Sencha Tea Bag
Yuge Seicha's signature tea is packaged in convenient tea bags – no muss, no fuss, just gorgeous tea on the go (no teapot required!). Plus, this tea tastes great both hot and cold.
¥648 (tax incl.) for 10 x 4 g
All of these products are available at the on-site gift shop, as well as online.
Shopping from overseas? They have an American Amazon shop too!
Check Out the View!
Just ten minutes by car from Yuge Seicha is the picturesque Yame Central Tea Garden. This garden is located on a verdant hilltop, and its observation point offers an amazing view of the tea fields and beyond. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Ariake Sea and Shimabara Peninsula!

Tamarind Beach Hotel
Canouan, a five-square-mile island in the Grenadine archipelago, may be one of the lesser known islands in the Caribbean, but its Tamarind Beach Hotel & Yacht Club has a white-sand beach as beautiful as any you'll find on any better-known neighboring isles. Each of the hotel's 32 rooms and eight suites take advantage of the castaway scene: all are mere steps from the water, and private balconies and patios face the sea. Fuel up for a snorkeling or kayak excursion with a grill-fired pizza from the hotel's thatched-roof Pirate Cove restaurant, or grab a club sandwich from the beach bar and head to the private jetty for a boat tour to some of Caribbean's most secluded dive spots.
