Unitary Plan: Most new homes over $800k

Modelling suggests most Aucklanders won't be able to afford to buy new homes built under Auckland's Unitary Plan.

The research said of the 247,000 new homes planned within Auckland's existing urban area, only 15 percent would cost less than $800,000 and less than 2 percent would be priced under $600,000.
The modelling was carried out for the Independent Hearings Panel that made the recommendations on how Auckland should be developed over the next 24 years.
The Labour Party has warned that was a big fail in delivering affordable housing for families.
"Thirty years ago, we celebrated being one of the countries with the highest level of home ownership in the world, said Labour Party leader Andrew Little.
"That part of the Kiwi dream is slipping away.
"Things like the Unitary Plan were an opportunity for those in authority to actually do something about that."
However, leading independent economist Shamubeel Eaqub described the report as pessimistic, and said the modelling assumed land prices, and what developers would build, would not change.
"In reality we know that if the capacity opens up we will see significant increase in supply, in variety, (and) far more innovation.
"This is really a big game changer for the development industry ... the outlook is actually far more optimistic than is in the model," Mr Eaqub said.

Housing Minister Nick Smith said most first home buyers would not be purchasing a new build.
He said a quarter of homes currently sold in Auckland were under $600,000.
"The modelling from the IPH report shows that 6 percent of homes are expected to be built in that range. That's 20,000 homes. That's actually more than what we are projecting to deliver through the HomeStart scheme."
Dr Smith said he had had very positive feedback from developers looking for investment to build houses in the $650,000 price bracket.
"That means getting 40 percent of the apartments or town houses being built off the plans and they are confident they can achieve that in that $650,000 bracket."

Mr Little said the government had been misguided in urging the hearings panel to drop the requirement that new developments over 15 units included 10 percent affordable houses.
"Given the level of the crisis this was a great opportunity to put in some conditions about making sure, in the future at least, there will be a commitment to more affordable housing.
"Now I know some people say the risk is that developers would be able to get around the rules. Actually if you set it up properly and you say there has to be a certain proportion, a certain percentage, have to be houses at an affordable price, actually you can make that work, you can make that happen," Mr Little said.
From Monday, the government's KiwiSaver HomeStart scheme increases income caps from $80,000 to $85,000 for a single person, and from $120,000 to $130,000 for a couple.
The house price caps will also increase by $50,000.
Dr Smith said those changes, coupled with the plan, would help first home buyers.
"The number one thing the Unitary Plan needs to do is to increase supply. The whole problem in Auckland has been that it is a nightmare of 90 different residential zones for people to be able to get on and build houses.
"I share the confidence of the independent hearings panel that if that plan is adopted by the council it will in time deliver a lot more affordable houses."
David Gibbs, director at Construkt Architects, a leading advocate for higher density development in Auckland, also said it was likely the Unitary Plan would bring down prices in the long run.

Photo essay: Cape Farewell ecosanctuary a symbol of hope


Don't know how you spent this day, but for me it was pretty late before I decided to shower and get my keester in gear.;) The temps outside presently here in the Midwest are bone-chilling to say the least, but I managed to stand outside for a moment or two last night and gaze up at that fantastic "blue moon" and thought in truth..you won't believe it..of the Druid priestess in the prologue of Winters Desire...yes, exactly the one with the perfect yawbos on the cover! Here is a reminder, if you are not familiar with said cover.
Yawbos aside (and I am nowhere or ever will be near that perfection) Yet I couldn't help but get a sense of what it might have been like, standing in the bone-chilling dawn of that winter morning, arms rasied to the moon-with a wish/prayer/hope so fervent in the woman's soul that her body aches for the want of it.
We never wrote an epilogue addressing what happened to that woman. Did the Universe grant her that deeply-felt desire? Did she ever see her true-love again? The vision is such a powerful one--the ending so uncertain and yet the wish so desperate.I like to think they somehow wound up together.
but you might achieve that wish or in the waiting and sometimes you receive a gift far greater than the wish you made.
I thought of how far I've come in my writing, the incredible people I've met on so many levels of this industry and the experiences I would never have had, had I not risked taking that first step.
And with each new step, there is more to learn, more to achieve, more potential and possibility (my all time favorite words!) but there is also more risk. One of the many sayings I have taped to my pc is "The Greatest Risk, is Not Taking One." and that is how I approach this New Year with its rare blue moon and the magic that is possible if you believe.
Hi there my dear sister friend!
May your 2010 be bigger, better, brighter ~ healthier, happier, and very blessed!!!!
Hon - What a beautiful post.

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion versus multiple daily injections in children and young people at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes: the SCIPI RCT.
Health Technol Assess. 2018 08; 22(42):1-112.HT
The risk of developing long-term complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is related to glycaemic control and is reduced by the use of intensive insulin treatment regimens: multiple daily injections (MDI) (≥ 4) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Despite a lack of evidence that the more expensive treatment with CSII is superior to MDI, both treatments are used widely within the NHS.
(1) To compare glycaemic control during treatment with CSII and MDI and (2) to determine safety and cost-effectiveness of the treatment, and quality of life (QoL) of the patients.
A pragmatic, open-label randomised controlled trial with an internal pilot and 12-month follow-up with 1 : 1 web-based block randomisation stratified by age and centre.
Fifteen diabetes clinics in hospitals in England and Wales.
Patients aged 7 months to 15 years.
Continuous subsutaneous insulin infusion or MDI initiated within 14 days of diagnosis of T1D.
Data were collected at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months using paper forms and were entered centrally. Data from glucometers and CSII were downloaded. The Health Utilities Index Mark 2 was completed at each visit and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL, diabetes module) was completed at 6 and 12 months. Costs were estimated from hospital patient administration system data.
The primary outcome was glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration at 12 months. The secondary outcomes were (1) HbA1c concentrations of < 48 mmol/mol, (2) severe hypoglycaemia, (3) diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), (4) T1D- or treatment-related adverse events (AEs), (5) change in body mass index and height standard deviation score, (6) insulin requirements, (7) QoL and (8) partial remission rate. The economic outcome was the incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained.
A total of 293 participants, with a median age of 9.8 years (minimum 0.7 years, maximum 16 years), were randomised (CSII, n = 149; MDI, n = 144) between May 2011 and January 2015. Primary outcome data were available for 97% of participants (CSII, n = 143; MDI, n = 142). At 12 months, age-adjusted least mean squares HbA1c concentrations were comparable between groups: CSII, 60.9 mmol/mol [95% confidence interval (CI) 58.5 to 63.3 mmol/mol]; MDI, 58.5 mmol/mol (95% CI 56.1 to 60.9 mmol/mol); and the difference of CSII - MDI, 2.4 mmol/mol (95% CI -0.4 to 5.3 mmol/mol). For HbA1c concentrations of < 48 mmol/mol (CSII, 22/143 participants; MDI, 29/142 participants), the relative risk was 0.75 (95% CI 0.46 to 1.25), and for partial remission rates (CSII, 21/86 participants; MDI, 21/64), the relative risk was 0.74 (95% CI 0.45 to 1.24). The incidences of severe hypoglycaemia (CSII, 6/144; MDI, 2/149 participants) and DKA (CSII, 2/144 participants; MDI, 0/149 participants) were low. In total, 68 AEs (14 serious) were reported during CSII treatment and 25 AEs (eight serious) were reported during MDI treatment. Growth outcomes did not differ. The reported insulin use was higher with CSII (mean difference 0.1 unit/kg/day, 95% CI 0.0 to 0.2 unit/kg/day; p = 0.01). QoL was slightly higher for those randomised to CSII. From a NHS perspective, CSII was more expensive than MDI mean total cost (£1863, 95% CI £1620 to £2137) with no additional QALY gains (-0.006 QALYs, 95% CI -0.031 to 0.018 QALYs).
Generalisability beyond 12 months is uncertain.
No clinical benefit of CSII over MDI was identified. CSII is not a cost-effective treatment in patients representative of the study population.
Longer-term follow-up is required to determine if clinical outcomes diverge after 1 year. A qualitative exploration of patient and professional experiences of MDI and CSII should be considered.

We are very glad to be part of the MAGNET project of the European commission to co-develop the migrant entrepreneurship best practices in Europe. However, nice tools and methods are one thing. Another thing is to actually set up an inclusive start-up school that has the potential to be subsidy independent. Are you interested in setting up a DELITELABS in your town? Just reach out [email link to CH] and we will find out if we can help you with our blue print and experience. But be warned, it is quite an undertaking!
Yes, we offer our programs for virtually free. This is a challenge, but it is our ambition to crack that challenge and find ways of how we can truly add value to our corporate partners in order to finance our social activities.
We believe in unlocking talent and self-reliance. If you work with vulnerable people, the first thing you learn is that what "these people" want, is not being labelled vulnerable. Therefore we avoid terms like "refugees" or "on welfare" and address our participants through their talents.
DELITELABS is driven by the believe that underutilized capabilities, especially of young people, and the lack of professional perspectives are one of the most critical challenges of our society. DELITELABS seeks to inspire and activate its participants. We believe that "if you put people of different backgrounds into one room, shake it sufficiently well and add a pinch of professionalization, amazing things can happen". Therefore we keep the entry barriers as low as possible: by subsidizing our core activities through corporate trainings, we allow those who need it the most to participate.
DELITELABS has been founded as a foundation in Amsterdam in 2015. We then have successfully conducted Pre-acceleration programs for youth in Valencia, Spain in 2015 as well as for "Newcomers" in Amsterdam in 2016. In total we have validated our methodology with more than a 100 participants over the past 2 years. At the time of writing in November 2017 we have successfully delivered 9 programs since we started.
Business Development Manager Are you an experienced business developer who is as passionate about entrepreneurship and inclusion as we are? We would love to hear from you!
Manager Startup Advisory Did you run your own startup or you have tons of experience in advising startups and giving trainings? We would love to hear from you!
Don't see a vacancy that fits you? We are always looking for enthusiastic professionals that want to make a difference by allowing more people to explore entrepreneurship as their means of economic (re)integration. If you are located in or close to Amsterdam, please send us an email with your CV to recruiting@delitelabs.com. Please let us know how you think you can best help us growing DELITELABS. We are looking forward!
And – if you only have a few hours every other month, please consider becoming one of our lecturers, or one of our mentors with a few hours per week. You can sign up here!

In the country seat Lodwar in the northwest of Kenya the maendeleo – Centre for Health and Educationis in the making, including its own garden for healing plants and herbary.
One of the key aspects of the maendeleo - Centre for Health is the work with adults, adolescents and children, whom we impart our knowledge about traditional and native plants and herbs, always with the objective of promoting and using already existing knowledge and interests about these plants in the proximity.
The employees of maendeleo give a hand to garden landscaping and usage of the medical plant garden. Spoken to, encouraged and instructed are especially young people for the subjects Nourishment and Health, both in theory and practice. The experienced inhabitants and supporters of the maendeleo - Centre for Health are invited to share their traditional knowledge and thereby have some influence on the work.
In the maendeleo-processing room effective teas, salves, tinctures and juices are made from the dried healing plants, all harvested in the gardens. They find a use on diseases, wounds, eczemas and burns.
With help of plant remains, e.g. seeds, leaves and husks, in the maendeleo-Lab is shown how natural medicine can be made.
In the maendeleo – Centre for Health visitors obtain information, advice and if applicable care about their health affairs by a professional.
While growing the plants and herbs in the maendeleo-gardens attention is paid on mixed grop, that not only helps the health care but also the food supply. Furthermore this combination of different healing and crop plants ensure a better growth of all raised plants.
In the maendeleo - Centre for Health the treatment of malaria and HIV/AIDS with herbal medicine will be a priority. Therefore the large-area growing of the plant Artemisia annua and the tree Moringa oleifera is sheduled.
Artemisia annua has at least ten agents against malaria and is therefore a multi-preparation. In combination with Moringa oleifera leaf powder the therapeutic effect on people affected with HIV/AIDS is going ahead.
The principle of maendeleo is: If a affected person can't afford the care he or she obligates to help in the gardens after the recovery.
The traditional knowledge of the curative power of the plants is a precious gain. On the long term the sale of healing plants and their processing to medicine will be a possible basic income for the maendeleo - Centre for Health.


Disadvantages of Physical Education in the Schools By Mary Strain ; Updated June 27, 2018 The advantages of physical education in the schools are many and well-documented: P.E. helps kids learn healthy habits, stay in shape and learn teamwork.
Physical education can be a major force in helping children socialize with others more successfully. Being able to participate in games and sports is an important part of fitting in, especially for those in late childhood and early adolescence.
Whether physical education should be made mandatory in public education for students in elementary through high school is a highly controversial topic since physical education comes with a heavy price by stripping students of their freedom of choice, and a enhanced education due to lack of funding.
Keywords: physical education, required, disadvantages Mandatory physical education for students in primary through senior high school is designed with the best intentions like promoting a healthier lifestyle, and aiding students in uncovering their potential skill.
Physical education schools play a critical role in increasing physical activity by offering quality, daily physical education and other opportunities to recreate. Physical education is the only program that provides students with opportunities to learn motor skills, develop fitness, and gain understanding about the importance of physical activity.

Volkswagen Auctioning Off First e-Golf In The United States
— Oct 14, 2014
Volkswagen has announced plans to auction off its very first 2015 all-electric e-Golf hatchback online ahead of the car's official on-sale date in the United States later this year. All proceeds from the auction will benefit Global Green USA, a national environmental non-profit organization which looks to advance smart solutions to climate change in order to protect the planet.
The 2015 e-Golf is the first fully-electric Volkswagen model ever. VW says the car is part of a new structured powertrain strategy that looks to introduce more new and highly-efficient drive systems and is also part of its 'Think Blue' sustainability campaign. The e-Golf uses a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor producing 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. That setup enables the fully-electric e-Golf a range of up to 83 miles and Miles per Gallon of Gasoline Equivalent (MPGe) of 126 city, 105 highway, and 116 combined.
"We're excited to mark the launch of our first all-electric car with an auction that raises funds and awareness for Global Green USA's groundbreaking work to bring smart, sustainable solutions to communities nationwide," Michael Horn, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group America said in a statement. "The auction is now live for the public to support an important cause and to be the first proud new owner of the brand's first electric vehicle in the U.S."
If you're interested in owning the first e-Golf in the United States, check out the auction here. The car will officially go on sale in the US in November with a starting price of $35,445 for the top-of-the-line SLE trim.
Update: the auction closed at $41,000.

Isles Free Agency Preview
Rob Taub 1 year ago free agencyLou lamorielloNew York IslandersNHL
As we wait for word of where John Tavares will be playing in the future, the free agency frenzy is set to begin this Sunday at noon.
For the New York Islanders, every aspect of their offseason gameplan hinges on whether Tavares decides to stay with the franchise or leave for another franchise after nine years with the organization. But depending on that outcome, general manager Lou Lamoriello will have his hands full in filling the holes that are plaguing the Isles. Lamoriello will have a bundle of cap space to execute his plan — $32.7 million dollars to be exact.
But it's not just money that Lamoriello and Co. will be able to pitch to free agents this time around. Instead, the new boss will be able to deliver an experienced and respected coach in Barry Trotz who just won his first Stanley Cup less than three weeks ago, an organization rich of prospects and future studs on offense and defense, a winning attitude, and last but not least, a new beautiful building on Long Island in the not so distant future.
Lamoriello is well aware that from how this team performed last year, that defense and goaltending are the biggest keys to making the Islanders are feared team again. With G Jaro Halak becoming a UFA — plus Thomas Greiss being the only goalie signed on the roster, and Linus Soderstrom just coming over to start his career in North America — Lamoriello will have to use some of that magic to find that elusive number one. The goalie market will be slim pickings on July 1, but knowing Lou, he will be able to find that diamond in the rough whether it's via a trade or signing.
Here are a few of the possible goalies that might be worth taking the risk:
-JONATHAN BERNIER, 28: Bernier is coming a solid season in Colorado going 19-13-3 in 34 starts. He's bounced around a bit playing for four teams (Los Angeles, Toronto, Anaheim, Colorado), but has been a steady presence sporting a career 2.67 GAA. Bernier is one of the youngest goaltenders in this free agent class, the second being Michael Hutchinson. With the Isles trying to get younger in net and find someone as a possible bridge for another year or two, Bernier would be a good option as a possible 1A-1B scenario with Thomas Greiss or Christopher Gibson for that matter.
-CARTER HUTTON, 32: Hutton will definitely be getting attention on July 1, and the Isles should be one of them. Head coach Barry Trotz is familiar with Hutton from their short time in Nashville. Despite not playing more than 35 games in a season in his career, Hutton has impressed in each spot he's landed in. He played extremely well replacing Jake Allen this past season when Allen was struggling in net. The Thunder Bay, ON native would be a project in net for the Islanders in both the short-term and long-term if they see him as a number one, but he could definitely be a serviceable backup if a starting gig is not in the cards.
-ANTON KHUDOBIN, 32: Khudobin is in the same boat as Hutton when it should come to the interest from the Islanders. He has got some miles on him having made stops with the Bruins twice, Wild, Hurricanes, and Ducks. The most games Khudobin has played in one season was 36, something to keep in mind. His work the past few seasons backing up Tuukka Rask was a breath of fresh air for the Bruins. Going 16-6 in 29 appearances this season, Khudobin could be another 1A-1B if the Islanders did decide to take a flyer on him.
-MICHAEL HUTCHINSON, 28: Hutchinson is a bit of a wild card for a team like New York. He is the youngest goalie on the market, but how he fell out of flavor in Winnipeg after Connor Hellebuyck's emergence does pose some concerns. Hutchinson in the past has shown he can be depended on as a number one — playing 40-plus games in two of his first five seasons. What makes Hutchinson a risk the Isles should take, 1) Here's a guy looking to re-energize his career, 2) Here's a young kid still in his prime looking to prove the critics wrong.
Transitioning to defense, the Islanders were the worst in the National Hockey League this year. There several factors for why this free agency is so crucial for that trend to reverse itself for next season.
Johnny Boychuk is not getting any younger, Adam Pelech and Scott Mayfield are still developing, and there are still question marks to whether either Calvin de Haan or Thomas Hickey or even both will be returning. So the Isles are at a bit of a crossroads. Lou does have Nick Leddy who will be looking to bounce back from a tumultuous campaign and Ryan Pulock who looks ready to become a monster at both ends of the ice. Still, if a trade can't come to fruition, Lamoriello could have his pick at some good defenders.
Here are some names on a defense worth looking at:
-MIKE GREEN, 32: Green's price will probably not be in the Islanders range, yet it would be foolish for the brass not to throw an offer his way. Even on a bad Red Wings team the past three seasons, Green has proved he can still play top-four minutes and can contribute offensively. Green's veteran leadership would be a nice attribute to an Isles blueline that's filled with promising youth — Pulock, Toews, Pelech, Mayfield. Add that Green is a right-handed shot — something the Isles have been missing to balance out on the blueline — and can still be an effective power play man, he's more than qualified for the team to take a run at him.
-JACOB TROUBA, 24: Lamoriello would have to swing a deal to get Trouba from Winnipeg. It's definitely not impossible but certainly seems harder than it sounds. Trouba would check off all the boxes the Islanders are looking for in stud d-man — the ability to play top-four minutes, responsible at both ends of the ice, size and skill. Even as an RFA, if Lamoriello did acquire Trouba, he would have no problem paying him with the abundance of cap room the team has to play with.
-MATT DUMBA, 23: Dumba is another young, talented defender that Lou should try to squeeze out new Wild GM Paul Fenton. Dumba played in all 82 games this season, and since being drafted has continued to get better and better with each season. It would take a sweet deal for Lamoriello to take Dumba away, but it would be beneficial for the Isles, as he immediately bolsters the d-corps and adds to the youth movement taking place.
The one thing nobody thought the Islanders would have a problem with this past year was offense. In some ways they didn't, in a lot of ways they did.
Beyond the top-six — Tavares, Lee, Bailey, Barzal, Beauvillier, Eberle — the club got very minimal production from those forwards that made up the bottom part of the lineup. The interesting thing is now, there are spots to be had on the bottom-six. With Nikolay Kulemin off to the KHL, Shane Prince and Alan Quine gone, Brock Nelson expendable, Cal Clutterbuck and Casey Cizikas trying to re-discover their game, and Andrew Ladd coming off his worst offensive season, the Islanders are in desperate need of some new blood to roll four lines again.
Some forwards that can help the Isles offense flourish again:
-RYAN O' REILLY, 27: This one would be a trade, but Ryan O' Reilly coming in only if Tavares departs would be a welcomed addition. O' Reilly had success in Colorado before being dealt to Buffalo, where he's played the last three seasons. He never really found his footing in Buffalo, but a change of scenery could be what really pushes O' Reilly to play up to his full potential. O' Reilly is still in the prime of his career, and he has totaled more than 60 points three times. He would be a major player in the Isles high-octane attack.
–PAUL STASTNY, 32: Stasny is another target for Lamoriello that would help ease the burn if Tavares left. Despite being five years older than Tavares, Stasny has a lot left in the tank and a boatload of experience to boot. Everywhere Stastny has gone he's had success — even recently his short stint with the Winnipeg Jets. Statsny wouldn't put up the same numbers as Tavares, but adding another 40-60 points to the lineup and more veteran leadership, wouldn't hurt the Isles in the least.
–TYLER BOZAK, 32: There wouldn't be much of an argument if Lamoriello brought Bozak to Long Island after getting to observe him up close and personal from his last three seasons in Toronto. Bozak has been on the Islanders radar even before the new regime commenced, so he would definitely have value as one of the teams' top centermen. The Maple Leafs have all Bozak has ever known, so the Isles signing him could be a breath of fresh air and allow for a more balanced attack.
–MATT CALVERT, 28: While he wouldn't be the most necessary acquisition if number 91 is out, Calvert would be an excellent addition to an Isles team that wants to be able to depend on their bottom-six again plus be able to roll four lines like they did in years prior. Calvert, never really seem to get a fair shake in Columbus. With the Isles, he would get that and more. The Islanders would benefit from his ability to kill penalties, sneaky skill set, and the fact that Barry Trotz knows him well from him being in the Metro since he came into the league.
–MICHAEL GRABNER, 30: This one is interesting because Grabner is now 30 but can still produce at a high rate. Grabner would be an upgrade to the bottom-six from what the Isles have fielded in recent years. The Austrian's speed could also be exactly what Barry Trotz is looking for in his the new style of play he's going implement. Grabner can also still score (27 in 2016-17, 25 in 2017-18), and you can never have enough offense. Especially if you're a team looking to improve at the forward position, like the Islanders.
–TOBIAS REIDER, 25: Reider is another intriguing name come July 1. Still very young, he never seemed to fit in either of Arizona or Los Angeles' plans, leaving some question marks about his ability. But for a player of Reider's age, the Isles would be wrong not to at least take a look at him after the small numbers the bottom part of their forward group contributed last season. Reider would also help the much-needed depth the Islanders have been lacking at wing the past few years.
We won't know until Friday or Saturday if John Tavares will remain with the Islanders, but until then it's always fun to start looking ahead at how the team can get better.
With this new regime, who knows what to expect. But one thing is for sure, this free agency should be exactly what it is for the Isles: A Frenzy.

Day 1 - Pompeii
Meet as a group at our hotel in Pompeii.
Hotel Forum, Pompeii
Meals included
The Hotel Forum is a 4 star hotel situated in the centre of Pompeii. Conveniently it's located a few metres from the entrance to the Archaeological site.
We devote a whole day to Pompeii, the busy trading town on the mouth of the Sarnus river enveloped by the catastrophic eruption of AD 79, leaving it a permanent witness to life in an ancient Roman city. As about 60% of the entire town has been excavated, it is an enormous site which reveals details of every day life from wonderful frescoes to graffiti, one way streets and stepping stones which allowed people to cross streets without stepping into the filth of a busy town without an adequate sewage system. We visit elite domus, industrial sites, bars serving ancient fast food and bakeries, as well as monumental public buildings such as baths and theatres. Travelling by the best routes to avoid the crowd, we visit sites which have only recently reopened to the public or which have only just been excavated.
Day 3 - Naples
The Naples Archaeological Museum houses the extraordinary finds from the excavations from the Vesuvian towns, as well as from other cities in Bay of Naples. Exquisite bronze statues, such as those found in the Villa of the Papyri, which would normally have been melted down and reused; marble statues which would have been broken up to make lime for fertiliser; beautiful wall paintings which would have decayed or plastered over – all would have been lost had Vesuvius not erupted and buried them all. Highlights include the stunning mosaics from the House of the Faun, including the Alexander mosaic skilfully crafted with minute tesserae. See also the unique collection of frescoes, such as the so called Sappho or the portrait of Terentius Neo and his wife. This afternoon is at leisure to explore Naples –you might take a tour of underground Naples, view the famous statue of Cristo Velato in the Cappella Sansevero or wander around the Via dei Tribunali.
All meals included
Day 4 - Herculaneum
Today we explore Herculaneum, an opulent, seaside town very unlike Pompeii, which was violently buried by a pyroclastic flow which deposited 25 metres of matter on the city, permanently sealing it anaerobically, thereby allowing organic material to survive. The difficulty of excavating Herculaneum means a much smaller area has been excavated, though what has been exposed is far better preserved. We see shutters just barely open and view furniture in a house arranged as it would have been. Walking through the tunnel to what was once the seashore where hundreds of bodies have been found huddled in the boathouse is an unforgettable experience. We will also visit an extraordinary exhibit at the Reggia di Portici entitled 'The Wood that Didn't Burn', which consists of wooden artefacts found in Herculaneum and preserved by virtue of the more than 20-metre deep pyroclastic flow that hermetically sealed the seaside city, delicately preserving its organic objects. We finish the day with a visit to the opulent villa maritima at Oplontis, which might have belonged the family of Poppaea, wife of Nero. Here we see stunningly preserved frescoes which were being refurbished at the time of the eruption, as well as remarkably well preserved slave quarters which allow us a glimpse into a Roman household.
After breakfast this morning, our tour comes to an end and we make our independent onward journeys.

Once nowhere to be found, now maybe one of the most bottled Islay Malts today. Caol Ila. For me at least, Caol Ila is always a nice Whisky which also ages well. This is a pretty young one, bottled less than four months shy of its 12th birthday. In fact, this Caol Ila has matured for precisely 4.275 days. It was bottled for the Milano Whisky Festival & Bar Metro in 2016, I picked this up at a well-known German auction and didn't have to pay much, nor did I have a lot of competition for this bottle, so maybe there's something I should have known? At the same auction I picked up its sister-bottling from Glen Elgin bottled for the same festival in 2016 and didn't have to pay much for that one either. I bought these two, because I found out I had a lot of cask strength bottlings on my lectern, so I wanted to buy some bottles, to start an evening with. A bit reduced to work up an appetite. Gordon & MacPhail have (or had) lots of casks from the 3066XX-range, bottled in many different series; "Cask Strength", "Reserve", "Spirit of Scotland" and more "Exclusive's" as well, so there is enough around for comparison. For instance, Refill American Hogshead #306664 was bottled for Maison du Whisky @ cask strength in the Exclusive range. By the way, some of the casks from this range are Sherry casks. Let's find out now if this hoggie is any good.
Nose: Quite restrained. No big smoky peaty notes. Fresh, zesty but also a bit tame (at first), as in sweet barley with a wee bit of soft peat only. When the flow rate of air through the nose has been increased, lots more seems to be emerging. A prickly sensation awarded to a smoky note. Burning newspaper, and even more earthy peaty notes, still restrained though. Next more creamy notes of vanilla and pudding. Well balanced although I'm not sure yet about its complexity. Hints of sugared, or sweet, yellow fruits. Warming toffee and more soft barley, marzipan and almonds. Even a little bit of honey. All very restrained without it being closed. Dusty. All aroma's work together nicely. Good balance. A cold and misty day with hardly any wind. As this Whisky picks up air, the good balance even gets better, definitely the forté of this Whisky, and it gets bigger, bolder and more aromatic as well. Quite a surprise. The longer it stays in my glass and I don't hurry it, the better it gets. More of the fruity notes emerge and the marzipan, very nice. Some wood and ashes as well. So this needs a bit of air and patience. If you hurry this one, you'll miss the reward of this Whisky.
Taste: Sweet, fruity and smoky, with a funky red fruit acidity on top (it may could do without). Yes, peat as well. Slightly too watery (at first), but as I wanted a "starting Whisky" this does the job quite well. Very nice fruity sweetness, the sweetness of ripe fruits rather than plain old sugar. Very balanced again. Milk chocolate, chocolate mousse, mocha and a tiny hint of coffee with lots of milk. Mint. Just like the nose, the sweetness moves into the territory of vanilla and pudding retaining the minty note. More toffee, caramel and mocha. Chocolate cake, custard, crème brûlée even, with the added bonus of peat, charcoal and ashes. Finally a green, leafy note. Earthy.
The finish is warming yet falls a bit short and I can't say the wonderful balance reaches the aftertaste. A slightly acidic note peels of from the rest of the Whisky. Where the finish was somewhat short, the aftertaste recovers winning it a bit back for the team. Nevertheless a very nice Caol Ila again, and this probably its sisters as well, deserve your money. I for one, will try to find a G&M 2004 cask strength version from such a hogshead again.
Here we have a rather "young" Linlithgow, a.k.a. St. Magdalene. I really, really loved the extremely layered St. Magdalene 19yo, that was released three years prior to this one, so when this came out in 2001, I snapped up a few, expecting a similar experience to the one year older and cask strength expression mentioned above. Hey it was reduced a bit, and only one year older, so it could happen, and it was half the price of the 19yo! At the time, Whiskies from the Vintage Collection were never expensive, as was the case with this one. They sold this at the price of what a Springbank 10yo sells for today. Remember, even in 2001 this was already a closed distillery, so go figure. It was a different Whisky world back then. If I look around the net today retail price for this one is £699,-, and if you read this in 2025 it will probably be even higher, or have we all moved on to something else? If that is the case, why are you even reading about an old Whisky nobody cares for anymore?
Nose: Extremely malty. hints of sugar-water and ear wax. Fruity and grassy. A Lowlander alright. A breath of fresh air. Toned down, almost shy, but don't think this is light, because it's not. It shows quite some aroma. The quiet (big) guy in your class, but you already know there is more to it than meets the nose. Yellow fruits and whiffs of American oak, It is definitely something from the past. Somehow Whiskies today aren't like this anymore. Its like sitting alone in a field, middle of summer, nothing more than crickets and almost inaudible distant sounds of the rest of the world. Life is beautiful. Hints of cold butter and hay. Warm wood and a bit of old vanilla. Definitely not as multi-layered as the Rare Malts bottling mentioned above, and it hasn't its evolution either. This is more straightforward and shy (again). Perfectly balanced nose. It got plenty of time to breathe and it can handle the air. No worries then of oxidation. By the nose alone another great example of the variety of St. Magdalene. Closing this distillery is a real loss, and this one is not coming back, so what you are holding in your glass is a piece of history, hence the hefty price-tag.
Taste: Sweet on entry. Malty, barley sugar. Slightly warming. Paper and cardboard. Creamy, with toffee on entry but it gets thinner towards the finish. Lots of fruits emerging at different moment when you keep it in your mouth, making for a sweetish, fruity, friendly Whisky. Only a slight bitterness reminiscent of toasted wood emerges. Less "big" than the nose suggested. In comparison to other Whiskies from this distillery, this might be a rather simple expression, (is it?), but still it oozes something special. Memories of black coal, and motor oil. If so, this can only have trace amounts noticeable, because in essence it is a sweet fruity Whisky. Simple, maybe, but it rewards you with aroma's from the past, coming from a distillery like no other. Near the end of the body a somewhat burnt note emerges, burnt wood, hot machine (oil). Very nice industrial edge after the friendly fruitiness.
Ardmore, my poor-man's Brora. Since coming across several Ardmore's over the time, I see huge potential in this Whisky. Very good spirit, and if it is filled into a cask of equal quality, activity, this stuff can really shine. Just have a look at the three I reviewed earlier. Whiskyman's 1992 (89 Points), Gordon & MacPhail's 1993 (87 Points), and finally Mo Ór's 1992 (84 Points), where the last one was reduced to 46%, Why would one do that? All three were bottled some time ago and the reviews were written a few years back as well, so let's continue with another one from the past. We move up only one year, since this was distilled in 1994, and bottled some ten years ago.
Nose: Well, this most definitely doesn't smell like White Wine. Slightly buttery, with vanilla, some soft oak, and a slightly acidic side-note. Typical Hogshead remade with American oak staves. Green, grassy and even slightly meaty. Gravy? Not very peaty and hardly any smoke at all. When searching for peat I'm welcomed by a more fruity and lemony note as well as a leafy and green note. Hmmmm, it is the lemon you get from detergents. Nice oaky note taking over from this little faux-pas though. Pencil shavings even. Yes some peat seems to be coupled with the oak, soon to be followed by the return of the creamy and buttery notes from the start as well as some cold dish water. Remember you washed the dishes yesterday and forgot to pull the plug? This may not be one of those complex Ardmores, since it is clearly from a cask that has been filled several times before. Its friendly and fruity, almost summery in demeanor. Some notes seem a bit off, but pull together just in time. Interesting feat.
Taste: Oak and sawdust first. Hints of pepper. Yeah. Right after the characterful statement, the more fruity, citrussy, notes appear. Almost with a carbonated quality to it. Although very tasty, friendly it is not. Too much alcohol for that. I love the oomph which you can sense does great things to balance this Whisky. Ashtray and nice peat mixed in with the citrus fruit. It switches effortlessly between the (fatty) creamy & woody/cardboardy part and the more fruity acidity. Although not very complex, what it does, it does it good. Quite a long finish, although it maybe better to describe it as a prolonged body, since you get all the aroma's, all the time. Aftertaste is bitter (wood) and again all of the above. This one fools you into thinking its simple, and fruity, it is, but it is not an easy one, and that's not only because of the high ABV.
Definitely not your typical Ardmore. Where in the past I called a particular Ardmore a potential Brora, this one most definitely isn't. This bottling is an interesting Whisky, made form excellent spirit, but not good enough to be a Brora to be. I feel Ardmore is somewhat overlooked and underestimated by its owner Beam Suntory in favour of the other distilleries in their portfolio. Ardmore has to compete with Auchentoshan, (one of the last Lowland distilleries), Laphroaig and Bowmore (big, big Islay brands) and Glen Garioch (Highland), which seems to get a lot more love and attention than Ardmore (also Highland). So Ardmore seems to be the ugly duckling in the portfolio. Maybe Ardmore isn't getting the best casks the company owns, since the Mo Ór example and this The Single Malts of Scotland offering seem to come from somewhat less active casks, yet still manage to turn out quite good. Apart from this, the official output doesn't seem to be hurling at the consumer as well. Still, I have a lot of faith in Ardmore, it holds a place on my favourites list. It can be a truly amazing Whisky. As long as it stays under the radar, we have to hunt for examples from the independent bottlers world, that were 'accidentally' filled into good casks.
To the people of Ardmore Distillery. Keep doing the excellent work, your moment to shine will come!
Nose: Nice peat, clean, fruity and fresh, ozonic. Meaty, with hints of sweetness. Rural. Soft and hard at the same time. If you try hard, some spicy oak is detectable. Vanilla and gravy notes emerge at the same time. Ashes, paper and citrus. Wonderful combinations. Amazing how appetizing the peat is (mixed in with Vanilla notes from the American oak). The whole is utterly balanced and every bit of aroma, every note seems to belong to the next one. There is also a very sweet, fresh "other" note present, like a fruity-floral hybrid, an added layer to the darker peaty side. Like light in the darkness. Let it stand in your glass for a while and development starts. Based on the nose alone I definitely understand its broad appeal. Young, inexpensive but with very high quality. A present for Laphroaig aficionado mourning the loss of their beloved 10yo, which simply isn't what it was. The 10yo suffers from Alzheimer's, but this Quarter cask, yeah, úp, steps the new generation to take over the reigns. Oh, wait a minute, I have yet to taste it!
Taste: Sweet on entry (tea with lots of sugar), with citrus notes and wonderful peat. Simple and short, very short burst of pepper and quite some ashes. Add to that lemonade-like sweetness and fruitiness, and you have a young but wonderful Whisky on your hands. Add to that some "wrong" notes of (lemon) dishwater and fruity acidity (lemon) and you still have a wonderful Malt with added complexity. Lemon can be a very nice aroma to have. It is so good it can deal with these odd notes very well. Clay and more ashes. Pencil shavings. Paper is here too. Bugger, 'till now, I mentioned peat only once when tasting it. It is simply not upfront here, which is quite odd for a young Malt. (Peat breaks down a bit with age). Anyway, also not the longest of finishes around. Aftertaste, hardly there, tiny hint of peat maybe, and here it shows its youth I guess. Still, nice stuff this is.
Since the old 10yo is no more, I guess this is its true replacement. Its higher ABV. of 48%, its peaty profile and the fact it's not chillfiltered make this the replacement of the 10yo for Whisky geeks like me (for writing stuff like this, and you (for even bothering reading this). Mind you the old 10yo was even much better than this, but compare this to the new 10yo and you know why this is so good. If you're not a Whisky geek and are easily scared by the medicinal and peaty notes, and yet still like to start with the big Laphroaig, try the Select or the new 10yo. They are more suited for starters. Sweet, toned down peat etc. etc. This Quarter Cask is a wonderful early bottling. I have to buy me a more recent one, to see if they managed to keep the high standard. If so this is one of the best priced peated Whiskies around.
Nose: Definitely some autumn-like-peat happening here. Fatty, floral, green and lots of summery and fresh yellow fruits. Sweet and acidic. Nice waxy, slightly smoky, edge accompanied with nice wet and dry oaky aroma's. All well-integrated (now). Kilkerran, just like most other Whiskies from the people of Springbank, needs to breathe a lot. Freshly opened, I was quite disappointed with this one, lacking depth concentrating on all the wrong flavours and overall not very nice to drink, and that's saying something, since I love the output from Campbeltown. At the time of writing my bottle is half-full (or half empty if you are a pessimist), and the change is remarkable. Coal and some tarry bits, unbelievable it got this well-balanced and downright delicious, after the more than poor start. Peaches and smoked pepper. Excellent stuff.
Taste: Sweet entry with yellow fruits in sweet yoghurt. White Peaches and old dried apricots. Smoke in the back of my mouth and again after extensive breathing so remarkably tight, big and balanced. All fits together quite well. A bit less complex than the nose was, but it makes up for this "simplicity" with big and luscious aroma's. Green, and nutty (from the 30% matured in Sherry casks). Again a typical example of a bottle that won't be around for long on my lectern. It's not without its flaws, mind you. It hasn't got the strongest finish. The finish is a bit thin, or seems thin after the big body, and falls apart a bit. Aftertaste reprises the big body with a creamy, vanilla feel to it.
So give it lots of time to breathe. Big from the start, big body, complex nose, a somewhat simpler taste with a medium to weak finish. Still nice and recommendable. I will most definitely pick up another 12yo after a few years to see what they've done with it, as well as other Kilkerran releases.

Well I'm yet to be convinced that the red weather warning for Cardiff is necessary but I thought this an opportune moment to consider our relationship with the snow. The first mistake people make at these moments is to complain that we're unable to deal with a bit of snow and all these other countries have no problem with it. Obviously countries that deal with this kind of thing all the time will be investing more in the necessary infrastructure.
That said having had our office close at 12pm I am left wondering if this isn't an over-reaction? A lot of people I work with commute in from the Valleys where things may indeed be a good deal worse. Perhaps those who complain that everything comes to a standstill when it snows should consider that we commute amongst the longest hours in Europe and are not good at building enough houses near to where the jobs are. No surprise that snow causes so much disruption! And what of our road infrastructure? If it takes people an hour to travel 20 miles during rush hour I wouldn't like to think how the roads are when there is considerable snow. Of course the likely congestion is just the sort of thing to animate people and make them more hostile to new housing being built!
We are at least building some houses in Cardiff now but what of the design of our modern suburbs. St Mellons feels completely inaccessible. Thornhill? Pontprennau? Cut off after two inches of snow? And as for Waterhall what of the basic practicality there. Other than the aesthetics, what about the boring stuff like, you know, energy efficiency and transport connectivity?
To be fair, there aren't many trains on the road in fine weather either.
As I said initially I don't think we can expect to be that well prepared for this sort of specific occurrence but if we had better general infrastructure we'd cope better.


Yes, yes and OH HELL YES! I totally agree with you, Mark. I cannot belive that the american people actually think Shrub is a decent president! What you said is exactly true – I bet you dollars to dunkin donuts that he (and his aides) had some inkling of 9/11 and chose to ignore it. This is why I don't get involved in politics. The fact that people follow Bush like lemmings makes me ill and I have to just step back from it. So, I"m with you on the Switzerland "white flag" deal. Count me in!
Thanks. As I was looking at your comment I remembered reading in the Washington Post the unbelievable comments by some right wing evangelical organizations that they want to support Israel because they are anxious to bring about the end of the world. I am not kidding. They want the second coming of Christ! These are the kind of nuts supporting our current administration. Very scary stuff!
I was listening to an AM radio broadcast out of some town in Texas with an amerindian sounding name, probably within the last year or two. It was some sermon at a "Church of God", which was saying that the Bushes and the Bin Ladens have a relationship that goes back decades, that they used to vacation together, and that G Dubya and Osama BL were in cahoots together behind the WTC 9/11 bombings. Not only that, I personally know of alot of holy rollers, "right wing evangelicals", and X-Tian Fundies who believe Bush was at least partly behind the whole thing.
P.S. Many of them even think that George Dubya Bush is the Beast.


so yea ive been listening to jack johnson recently and its bumpin' very positive. its hard to find secular music that is positve these days. but yea, if you have a chance to get it, get it all i downloaded 3 albums and all of them are good. it has a island, city twist to it, its relaxing. try it out!
Jack J is cool listeing. You should check out G Love and the Special Sauce, he performs on some of Jack's stuff. He's got a philly/hiphop/blues thing going thats pretty interesting.


Hello NAIFA Participants! On the State level, we've been together for 6 years…6 looooooooooong years! Hahaha. In that time, we have accomplished a LOT in moving the cause of NAIFA Washington forward as well as built a LOT of GREAT memories that I will never forget…until I trigger a LTCI claim…right? I could spend time listing all the accomplishments especially over the past two years as President (and if you want to go over this rather impressive list, I'd be glad to let you buy me a coffee or lunch…lunch would be better and talk about the "glory days")!
Instead, I'd rather tell you a story about the difference between Lee Ioccoca and Jeff Kyle. (take LILI or read the Good to Great story about Ioccoca). How am I different than him…I look at my local and 4 of the 7 Officers and Board members, I recruited to NAIFA, recruited to leadership by managing expectations and mentoring them in the "ways of NAIFA". I look at the State, I have built a tremendous team of leaders (including a couple who have now been elected and will serve as our President, as well as all of the chairs, co-chairs and some RVP's! A think tank we refer to as the "Knights of NAIFA", created an Ad-Hock Committee Chair position called "Communications" that has now given us a web presence, FB, Linked In, E-mail thru Constant Contact and we're working through some challenges with on-line web conferencing and I'm confident we will have that "dialed in" sometime this coming year! Half of these Leaders are young (YAT young) and the others are helping me mentor them and THEY are my legacy!
I have full confidence in the hands I am leaving the Association in! We have GREAT young, up and coming leadership that will continue to move this association in the right direction! Iaccoca saved Chrysler but then caused it's demise. I believe I have accomplished something Lee Ioccoca didn't do! I may or may not have "saved" NAIFA Washington but, by moving it in a better direction through "Radical Transformations", through being "Radically Committed to the Outcome", through establishing and embracing our cause of "Radically Guarding Family Security", through "Radical Sacrifices" NAIFA Washington has a much more realistic opportunity of being the association she deserves to be!
My legacy is simple! Through taking Radical Risks and modeling servant leadership, our most talented leadership across this state took notice, it helped me to effectively garner "buy in" and as a result, NAIFA Washington has put in place a great "succession plan" for years to come! Having said that, we cannot stop the momentum now! The boulder is now rolling with everyone pushing in the same direction and at the same time…Keep the "Big Mo" going! For you non-LILI grads, that is code for Big Momentum! It's MUCH easier to keep the boulder rolling once momentum is moving it in the direction it needs to move in. If the momentum ends, it's much harder to get going again!
I promised you 4 years ago that if I was elected, I would give you NO less than my best effort to make NAIFA an uncommon Association run by Uncommon servant leaders!
I told you great moments are born out of great opportunity!
I asked you to give me the same measure of commitment and trust that I give you and our goals will have seemed to have been too little!
I asked you two years ago, who wants to be part of something that's never been done before, leading edge, visionary? Success is NOT measured by the position a person attains, but rather by the size obstacles they overcome! Together through herculean effort, WE have overcome monsterous obstacles…but we're not finished! Never forget, our enemy is complacency, apathy, mediocrity!
You choose a leader for His HEART! But I'm not without fear! Without fear…there cannot be courage! When we work together…it's our enemies who should be afraid!
I am SO proud to have held your trust, to have been your servant leader, to have worked with such talented leaders! We used to only talk about the NAIFA we wished we had…now we are living it! Again, NAIFA Washington has the foundation of being the Association it deserves to be!
As we move forward under the new leadership of Kevin Gleim, followed by John Nichols and Scott Fowler, continue to be "Radical" in your approach to service to NAIFA!
Lastly, and most importantly, I desire to recognize my wife Suzy and our children Laney and Cameron. They "live" NAIFA daily with me! It is a household word in our home. There has been a tremendous amount of "radical sacrifice" on their part over the past few years! Suzy, Laney, Cameron, I am thankful for you all! Grateful for your sacrifices so that I could do all that I've been allowed to do for NAIFA in our cause of Guarding Family Security. I have some good news and I have some bad news! Buckle up…the ride's not over yet! I love you and you're just the best family I could have been blessed with!
To my NAIFA family, I would be most appreciative if you would join me in honoring The Kyle family for their sacrifice to the cause of NAIFA!
Thank you all. I love you! God bless you, NAIFA and America!
PS- I will be the LILI Moderator for 2013-2014. Class begins in January 2014, so make that commitment and investment in your businesses and in yourselves and get registered soon!
