Steve & Cherry are excellent hosts. They have thought thoroughly about everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The cottage is tastefully decorated and very well positioned to visit lovely villages in Suffolk, or going for walks. Excellent attention to details, very warm welcome.
Excellent, would come back! Thank you for accommodating us last minute.
A great cottage, well located in a rural setting but close enough to towns and villages. Good walking in the area.
Very cosy cottage with a beautiful orchard and chickens to have breakfast with. Wonderful lounge and roaring fire and super comfy beds! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, pretty gardens and delightful hosts. We've had a totally relaxing time and would love to return.
The most beautiful cottage in the perfect setting! It's the most luxurious, warm, cosy and beautiful place anyone could wish to be. Meadows, flowers and song birds all around , a truly amazing and healing experience. The trees, herbs and apple, pear and plum orchard, hens laying fresh eggs, and a border of sloes, blackberry, hawthorn and rosehip, all for the picking!
A wonderful cottage with a quiet, beautiful outlook. We loved the bikes. We all loved it, three sisters and mum. Will definitely come again.
Fantastic cottage...has everything you would need! We enjoyed the walks, the bikes, the local community. Everything was top shelf!
A delightful cottage in a lovely setting. A real wrench to leave.
Little Cote has been a beautifully presented, comfortable home from home and we will be sorry to leave! It is the most well appointed, comfortable properties we've ever stayed in. Thank you! The meadow and accompanying wildlife has provided endless fascination for our young daughters. We hope to be back.
Beautiful cottage, owners very helpful and a fabulous welcome basket.
We have stayed twice now and will return soon. Fantastic, clean accommodation. Everything you need is here.
A truly beautiful little cottage - extremely comfortable!
Great cottage and great location for exploring. Beautiful meadow garden. We shall be back in 2018! Just about perfect in every way. Very dog friendly and totally tranquil. Home from home but without the phone!
A beautiful peaceful cottage set in acres of countryside.
A lovely stay at your beautiful cottage. The 'welcome pack' provided some great breakfasts! We have enjoyed the tranquility of the garden and the walk through the meadow, to watch the hares in the fields. Just perfect!
A perfect venue and location for a family reunion. We felt welcome and rested from start to finish. Bliss! Cannot fault the cottage and welcome arrangement. The owners were particularly friendly and helpful.
We have enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage and have especially enjoyed the furniture, pictures and books. We also appreciated the generous welcome basket and the BBQ, plus fuel. We liked walking around the meadow with the chickens and cycling along the lanes. All much appreciated. Thank you!
Perfect set up for 2 families of 4. Beautiful accommodation but the USP has to be the freedom it afforded our children. They loved playing in the meadow - heavenly! We will definitely be back.
Little Cote is full of character, beautifully clean and comfortable. Sitting in the well kept garden and strolling around the wildflower meadow, was a lovely way to relax at the end of the day.
The welcome basket was the best we've ever had! Brilliant that we could bring our two retrievers! Had a great time - love Suffolk!
We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The grounds and the cottage itself were magical. All the local walks and recommendations were very much appreciated.
We were blown away by the quality of everything from the welcome pack, accommodation and hosting by Steve. Fantastic location for visiting the area although we had to force ourselves to go out, as the cottage is so cosy. We were completely bowled over with the charm and cosiness; here for the weekend nothing more we could have wished for.
Have often used Grove Cottages; always beautiful, always reliable, good to know what to expect.
We visit Suffolk annually and always feel at home wherever we stay but particularly so with Little Cote. Storm Doris kept us anchored closer to home this time around and the cottage was just perfect for hunkering down, snug by the fire. It's been beautifully thought out for guests and Steve & Cherry were extremely obliging. We are already discussing coming back to Little Cote again. We've stayed in numerous Suffolk cottages and they have all been wonderful but for us Little Cote pips them to the post!! We love the additional space, the layout, the modern touches mingling with the age of the cottage. We plan to return.
Absolutely lovely cottage, would have loved to come for longer! So peaceful yet close enough to reach A14 and to explore. Everything was great thank you.
We have had a really lovely stay at Little Cote and particularly enjoyed how peaceful and cosy it was. The location was also ideal for us to explore the Suffolk countryside.
A wonderfully relaxing stay - peaceful, beautiful walks. Fabulous welcome basket, thank you.
A wonderful cottage for a relaxing break.
Another wonderfully relaxing weekend away with Grove Cottages! Peace, quiet and a log burner - just what we needed! Thanks again.
Best cottage we have every stayed in. Very warm and cosy with a lovely log fire. Plenty of room to accommodate five people and two bathrooms too! Wonderful welcome pack of food, we were very reluctant to leave and would love to return again.
Lovely, homely cottage to really feel away from it all.
Returned after a couple of years....Steve & Cherry again welcomed us and made us feel at home. A lovely cottage, in a beautiful setting - an ideal relaxing venue.
A very relaxing break, cottage very warm and cosy. A great getaway from city life.
We've loved being back at the cottage and the beautiful walks you have on your doorstep. Hope we'll be back again soon - we might try Skylarks next time.
A gorgeous cottage in a most idyllic location. The house is beautiful and fantastically well equipped. Our two year old adored exploring the lovely gardens and meadow and collecting the eggs from the hens was a daily highlight. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us.
A gorgeous cottage we loved our stay!
We have had a beautiful stay in Little Cote. Very calming, luxurious and lots to do in the areas surrounding - but also great to just chill in the lovely cottage and gardens.
Such a wonderfully peaceful location with a beautiful meadow for us and the dog to run around in!
The cottage is beautiful, a great place to unwind for a couple of days. The kitchen was very well equipped which meant cooking each night was not a chore. The highlight was fulfilling a long held ambition of mine - collecting eggs!
Design and detailing a complete delight from furnishings to finishings, towels to DVDs. Our tastes are one!
It was just lovely to be in the quiet Suffolk countryside - we had a few but gloriously quiet days - thank you. All excellent and better, if it was possible, than some years ago!
Lovely cottage - very comfy beds.
A wonderful place to stay, exactly as advertised. I will definitely use Grove Cottages again. A really outstanding place to stay. A warm welcome with everything provided as expected and some additional touches that were most welcome. The cottage was beautifully clean and well kept and the setting was perfect.
We loved our stay at Little Cote. The perfect way to spend our first wedding anniversary. We spent most of the time in the cottage and gardens as they were all so lovely and peaceful. We loved the warm welcome and extra little touches; the welcome basket, the flowers and the extensive book, music and film collection. We loved how secluded and private it felt too. Thanks so much!
The cottage was perfect for us. I'm known to be quite demanding in terms of cleanliness and quality, I can say I was not disappointed. Everything was to a high standard and we all felt very comfortable. Wish we cold have stayed longer.
Wonderful stay - spectacular cottage and wonderful hosts. Truly exceptional welcome pack!
Perfect peaceful location for a good rest - the only sound we ever heard was birdsong! Such a lovely stay.
We had such an amazing time we don't want to leave but sadly we have to. Peaceful and beautiful, we will be back.
The most perfect little cottage to unwind and relax. Beautiful surroundings, lovely walks. Immaculately clean! Although Little Cote is attached to Skylarks it is still totally private, quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended and would love to come back! Don't change a thing it's just perfect!
We had a wonderful time at this lovely and beautifully furnished cottage!
Very relaxing stay in a beautiful cosy cottage. Lots of space for the children to run around and explore. All fantastic - pretty much perfect in every way. Down to the selection of books and DVDs! Thank you Steve & Cherry for the lovely welcome and providing a perfect place for respite.
Absolutely loved our stay at Little Cote. Cosy, quiet and relaxing, just what we needed. We hope to return again very, very soon. We can't fault the place at all, perfect. Thank you!
WE have had a a lovely relaxing time at Little Cote. The cottage is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and full of character. Days and evenings in front of the log burner were a real treat!
Little Cote is a a lovely cottage situated in the Suffolk countryside. The decor was superb and the cottage very clean. We brought along our dog, so a pet friendly place is an added bonus.
Perfect in every way. Even better than we anticipated. Cottage has generous proportions, enabling us to spread out a bit. Spotlessly clean; more characterful than we expected; hosts are lovely!
Lovely cottage with a cosy feel. We loved the log fire and the way the cottage was decorated. The local recommendations made our stay even more special.
Little Cote is exquisite. Had the most perfect quality time and our hosts were wonderful - we'll be back. Thank you.
Warm, welcoming and very well equipped. Delightful. We only had a short stay but would definitely come again.
Beautifully renovated cottage with lots of character, decorated in very good taste with lots of attention to detail. Everything is in excellent condition and clearly lots of thought has gone into providing little things to make the stay more comfortable. The cottage is cosy yet spacious and there is a lovely outside area - garden and meadow - perfect for kids to explore. Many thanks!
Cottage was so comfy, did not want to leave. Warm welcome, warm fire and lovely comfy bed. The welcome basket is such a generous touch. This cottage is very homely but has all the mod cons needed.
Perfect cottage, so relaxing and beautiful location. We had a great time. Amazing cottage....amazing time :-) Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay, we have walked, drunk, eaten, relaxed, laughed and curled up by the fire. What more could four best friends ask for in a weekend. We�ll be back, thank you!
Enjoyable family weekend in a cosy cottage. Well equipped kitchen and spacious accommodation.
A very lovely cottage, it was cosy, comfy and welcoming. Our stay went far too soon. Will come back again.

Idyllic country cottage hideaway - every need anticipated and catered for. A little gem!
Idyllic surroundings, a warm welcome and very comfortable accommodation. Really impressed by the amount of space in the cottage, and the quality/standard.
Please can we have this cottage, our grandson has fallen in love with it!!
Rarely, if ever, has a cottage 'ticked' every box for us. Little Cote managed this with ease. Every expectation had been catered for. Add that to it's perfect position and surroundings and for a short time it became a second home!
Great location for cycling...lovely quiet peaceful lanes to cycle down.Delightful cottage in a wonderfully peaceful location.
A great rural retreat in easy reach of London. Very comfortable and surroundings beautiful.
The perfect antidote for hectic lives. Cherry and Steve are very welcoming and we immediately felt at ease. Thoughtful touches throughout the cottage e.g. biscuits for our dog, good books, board games, flowers and a radio, were very much appreciated. Little Cote is beautifully restored, deliciously cosy and wonderfully tranquil. The gorgeous garden and meadow were ideal for relaxation. Thank you so much for a very pleasurable break.
Beautiful house, thoughtfully decorated, stunning gardens.
Very enjoyable week - comfortable, peaceful, catering for all your needs in a home from home cottage. Nothing disappointed - a wonderful place to stay.
Little Cote is a lovely cottage and is tastefully and comfortably set up. We would definitely come again. The welcome pack was the best ever!
Perfect family getaway. Lots of space, fantastic garden and lovely cottage. Dining area was great, also used to play games. A very peaceful area with lots of nature to soak up. Saw a hare a few times and the surrounding meadows are beautiful. Lots of random seating and lovely grass spots to sit in.
Little Cote s a beautiful retreat - a place where you feel you can reconnect with nature. A lusciously planned garden enhanced by the magical wild flower meadow, bird song, peace and privacy. The cottage itself is a perfect balance of charm and luxury.
A very special retreat in every way.The best of the best!
The cottage is beautiful, even better than the pictures! Lovely location, plenty to see and do and so many walks right on the doorstep. Really was a wonderful little holiday.
It's a lovely cottage, felt really "at home" here. Also, plenty to explore in the area.
Fully lived up to expectations in every way. Idyllic, peaceful and a perfect rural setting.
A very special place indeed. Lovely in spring as it would be in all seasons. You feel at one with nature, down at the mill, with everything you might need at hand.
A wonderful 'minimoon' at LIttle Cote. Beautiful cottage, almost faultless. Beautiful furniture and decor and a fantastic base for exploring Suffolk. A very warm welcome from the owners too.
Amazing! Worth 10 stars, quiet, peaceful and fully furnished home from home with a lovely cosy fire. Was met with a lovely warm welcome from Cherry & Steve. Hope to be back soon.
Very impressed with the standard of Grove Cottages.
Lovely relaxing break. Just what we all needed. Lovely well thought out cottage with much attention to small details.
Beautiful, wonderfully decorated cottage in a lovely, semi-rural location. One of the most fully equipped holiday cottages we have ever rented too....and lots of games and DVD's to keep you occupied on cold winter days.
Immaculate, beautifully presented cottage. Cosy, a real gem of a place. We had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. The woodburner is a joy, we had a great time. A lot of love has gone into this cottage - well done.
The cottage and welcome were both perfect, and we could not fault a thing. Thank you very much.
We've thoroughly enjoyed a very restful week in this snug cottage - so well equipped, truly a home from home.
A fantastic stay for the whole family.

A lovely cottage; the layout worked very well for us, and was just the right size. The garden/orchard was very safe for the children.
A super place to stay. Steve and Cherry are really helpful and the picked flowers, from the garden and the welcome basket, are a really super touch. Good dog walks - I even read a book whilst here! Very relaxed, many thanks indeed.

We had an amazing and relaxing time at Little Cote. Cherry and Steve made us feel very welcome and were perfect hosts!
A superb house, with great attention to detail.
An outstanding cottage in a beautifully peaceful, rural location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stay in many self catering properties and can confirm that this cottage is on par with the best. There has clearly been a great deal of care and thought put in to making it a cosy and comfortable home from home. We really appreciated little touches like fresh flowers, cooking oil, coals in the BBQ, washing line and pegs.....so many details!
We had a very relaxing time at Little Cote and really appreciated the beautiful garden, flowers throughout the house, welcome basket and general calm and comfort of the place. Thank you.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday � the cottage is excellent and well equipped. The weather helped but we�re sure that if it hadn�t have been we would still have enjoyed our stay.
Lovely weekend away - beautiful home and ideal base for days out. Toddler and dog worn out! Thank you.

This cottage is stunningly presented, it really is without fault.
"Lovely cottage, cosy and homely. We recommend Melford Hall and Ickworth for lovely days out. Very indulgent scones with jam and clotted cream at Wyken Hall and we had the lovely gardens almost to ourselves. Helmingham Hall gardens are also worth a visit. Ate at The Coach House for a somewhat expensive treat but worth every penny- Honor welcomes you into her home as a guest"

All in all this is a slice of heaven and an antidote to reality. Thank you for providing such a beautiful house and all the thoughtful finishing touches including cup cake trays!"
A really cosy friendly cottage with everything we could need. The extra bed downstairs was a life saver and made all the difference. The owners told us about Wyken Farm & Vineyard � what a great place with an exceptional restaurant. Thank you for telling us about this.

We had a wonderful time � what a lovely cottage!
What a find! We have travelled extensively and always stay in houses or apartments and I have to say that Little Cote is the best that we have stayed in. The facilities are great: the decor is like something from an interiors magazine. The beds were comfortable and the lounge with wood burner was very cosy. We had great weather and spent hours in the wildflower meadow attached to the cottage. My gran who is 97 has asked if we can come again (how can we refuse) so we plan to stay again next July and we will hopefully bring along our Dalmatians.
A stunning cottage, beautifully kept and a well thought out lay-out of facilities. We truly did not want to leave!
We had a wonderful time staying in Little Cote during the weekend. The cottage is beautiful and the open fire was a lovely treat. The beds were so comfortable and everything we needed was there. We will certainly be returning and I would recommend to anyone � probably the nicest cottage I have stayed in. Thank you.
Ideal location for peace and tranquillity. Beautiful cottage � tastefully furnished. Lovely weekend, even had sunshine!
Lovely cottage- very well equipped � many thoughtful details � beautifully decorated + very comfortable + relaxing! Loved it!
This is our third time at Grove Cottages and have always had a wonderful time. Little Cote is our favourite cottage so far.
The cottage and the holiday exceeded our expectations � muddy walks in wild weather, pretty villages, lazing by the fire � have tried and failed to read all your books and listen to your music � oh dear, we will have to come again.
Not even the bitter cold March wind and snow, could detract from our stay in this very comfortable, tasteful and classic Suffolk Cottage. Definitely as good as it looks and is described on the Grove Cottage website � though maybe the reality is better.
Super stylish and very cosy cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed it and all said it has probably the best cottage we�ve stayed in for long time.
We arrived ahead of severe snow falls which would have kept us in the Chilterns. Thanks to the kindness of Cherry and Steve. Beautiful cosy cottage. Amazing exposed beams. Perfect in every way possible. We will return here many times, hopefully!
We have loved our stay here. It is a warm, cosy cottage and so peaceful. Thank You.
A beautiful cottage with such a homely feel to it. We had a great New Year here and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
Clean, cosy, comfortable - great weekend enjoyed by all.
Great cottage with the best selection of books and music we've encountered in a rental property!

Lake Voulismeni is a former sweetwater lake, later connected to the sea, located at the centre of the town of Agios Nikolaos. It has a circular shape of a diameter of 137 m and depth 64 m. The locals refer to it as just "the lake". The lake connects to the harbour of the town by a channel dug in 1870. A panoramic view of the lake can be seen from a small park situated above it.
According to legend, the goddess Athena and Artemis bathed in it. Every year at midnight turning to Orthodox Christian Easter day, the majority of the population of the town gathers around the lake to celebrate with fireworks, and firecrackers thrown by the people attending that highlight event.
A local urban legend has it that the lake is bottomless. Based primarily on locals noticing disturbances at the surface of the water during the Santorini earthquake of 1956, many assume a possible geological relation of the two locations.

Rival Congressmen Agree on Artsakh's Independence, Aid to Syrian Armenians
Armenia - Harut Sassounian, Publisher of The California Courier weekly newspaper, in Yerevan,10Oct2012
Կարդալ մեկնաբանությունները
By Harut Sassounian
Publisher, The California Courier
In this third and final article on the debate organized by the Armenian National Committee of America, Western Region, Congressmen Howard Berman and Brad Sherman answered questions from panelists Harut Sassounian and Ara Khachatourian on the safety of Syrian Armenians, the Safarov scandal, the independence of Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh), and Israel's arms sales to Azerbaijan.
Cong. Sherman acknowledged that some of the opposition elements in Syria "are extremely hostile to Christians in Syria." He warned that there would be "consequences for not treating with respect the human rights of the Christian minority."
When asked what specifically Congress could do to assist Syrian Armenians, Cong. Berman stated: "There are direct USAID relationships, and there are more covert kinds of ways to ensure that the Christian communities in Syria are being sustained and are being helped."
Cong. Berman expressed his concern about Israel's sale to Azerbaijan of more than one billion dollars of sophisticated weapons which could be used against Armenia. When he indicated that there was a similar relationship between Armenia and Iran, panelist Harut Sassounian challenged the accuracy of that statement. Cong. Berman withdrew his statement, acknowledging that he was not aware of such "ongoing relationship between Iran and Armenia."
Cong. Sherman objected to the US sale of weapons to Azerbaijan: "We should not be providing any military aid to Azerbaijan, period, and based on what happened in Hungary and based on how this murderer was treated when he returned to Baku, we should not be conducting NATO exercises knowing that perhaps the next soldier, who is hit with an axe in the head and killed, might very well be an American soldier."
Cong. Berman: "We want to make sure that Armenia is secure and that the people of Nagorno-Karabagh get to determine their own future. … Azerbaijan, with its resources, ends up getting stuff they don't financially need, for security threats they don't really have, because of their economic clout."
When asked why most of the aid allocated by Congress for Artsakh was being withheld by the State Department, Cong. Sherman stated: "I've requested language to be included in the foreign operations appropriations bill to require USAID to actually spend money on humanitarian development for the people of Artsakh, for the people in the Republic of Nagorno-Karabagh, and I'm pleased to report that the committee has included that language in its report."
Questioned on the need to recognize Artsakh's independence, Cong. Sherman stated: "I think Nagorno-Karabagh is an independent state, period. It's time to put an embassy in Stepanakert. Nagorno-Karabagh is a state because that's what its people have clearly indicated they want."
Cong. Berman, on the other hand, was a little more cautious: "The people of Los Angeles don't get to decide for Nagorno-Karabagh, the people of Nagorno-Karabagh get to decide. Self-determination for the people in Nagorno-Karabagh is the critical issue. I have no doubt that they want independence and that's where I'd like to see the process headed, but we are in a negotiation process that the government of Armenia and the government of Azerbaijan have agreed to."
Cong. Sherman retorted: "I agree with Howard [Berman]. It's for the people of Artsakh to decide whether they're an independent country. They've decided! They are -- and its time for Howard to acknowledge that Nagorno-Karabagh is an independent republic."
Regarding Hungary's extradition of the Azeri axe murderer to Azerbaijan, Cong. Sherman was certain that this action would "affect our military relationship with Hungary…. Several days ago, I sent a letter to the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense saying that Azerbaijan should certainly be suspended from this kind of military cooperation."
Cong. Berman added that "every single NATO country, and that includes Hungary, has now an obligation to suspend Azerbaijan from participation in partnership for peace activities until this wrong is righted."
In his closing statement, Cong. Berman promised to continue fighting "for the US recognition of the genocide as we approach the 100th anniversary. It's not just my commitment as a congressman, but as a Jew whose own people suffered its own genocide. Because the world ignored yours, I will continue to fight for the rights of the Armenian Church and Armenian people who live in Turkey…. I'll fight for the right of self-determination and well-being of the people of Artsakh which was part of the ancient kingdom of Armenia."
Cong. Sherman concluded the debate by pledging: "I'm with you seven days a week, and with your help, I'll be there with you for seven days a week for another 20 years!"

Pretend Christians for President?
Abraham Lincoln grew up in a Christian home, but when he was in his early twenties, his law partner described him as "a man surrounded by people exceedingly liberal in matters of religion." Through their influence, Lincoln was soon a fanatical atheist who argued against the existence of God at every opportunity. He soon gained a reputation for being so contentious about his atheism that people would avoid him on the street. But his faith journey took a providential turn in a different direction when he met and fell in love with Mary Todd, a devoted Episcopalian. Under her loving influence, his atheistic rage turned into a passionate search for the truth about God. Lincoln now devoured the Bible, became a Christian believer and became as fanatic about his new Christian beliefs as he had been with his former atheist beliefs. Recently, liberal scholars have reviewed his early writings as an atheist and discounted his many years of later writings and speeches as a man with deeply held Christian beliefs. The scholars have concluded that, "Lincoln was an atheist or at least an agnostic and that his public use of God-language was merely the religious window dressing required of politicians in a religious age." They are wrong about Lincoln but do politicians really do that? Is our current president doing that? Are the democratic candidates doing that? Let's look at some of the politicians in the news today and see what we think based upon what they have said about their religion and their faith...
Every president has been a Christian and that's why our current crop of candidates are trying so hard to be one themselves. A look at the numbers will show us why: In America, 70.6% of us identify as Christian believers but in the 2016 presidential election, 75% of those who voted were Christians. Last month, the Democratic National Committee passed a resolution recognizing the so-called "religious nones" as "the largest religious group" in their party. (Religious nones are atheists, agnostics and those who are not affiliated with any religious faith). As the Democratic party reaches out to embrace this demographic group, that's why we see some uncomfortable religious contortions by the candidates and hear their puzzling deflections of questions about their faith as they try to be both "Christian" and "non-Christian" at the same time. By the way, only about 22% of all Americans consider themselves to be the "religious nones" but only 15% voted in the 2016 election.
The following comes from network news sources – mostly from CNN and the candidate's biographies. Note that following the snippet of information about the candidate's faith I have put "In My Humble Opinion" (imho) about whether or not I personally believe the person is a Christian believer. You may disagree! All of the Christian democratic candidates have a liberal social justice mind-set and, for some, their words and actions might bring a fundamentalist Christian to a different conclusion about their faith. Even if I strongly disagree with the candidate's theology and/or lifestyle, I consider them to be a Christian if they appear to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and appear to be sincerely living out their faith as they understand it.
Kamala Devi Harris named after a Hindu goddess, was raised in the Hindu faith by her mother who told the L.A. Times that "A culture that worships goddesses produces strong women." Hindus do not believe in God and Harris is understandably reluctant to talk about her faith. As a Senator, she listed her religion as "Baptist" but has not attended a Baptist church since the age of twelve. She only talks today about attending the Black Baptist church with a neighbor friend and singing in the choir, but she will not answer questions about her "Baptist" church experience and is most likely referring to Vacation Bible School since small children do not sing in Baptist church choirs. Her policies suggest an anti-Christian bias and she recently stated that the free exercise of religion is meant to be practiced within an institutional religion, meaning that she believes it is inappropriate for us to freely express our religious beliefs outside of church on a Sunday. imho NO
Elizabeth Warren lists her faith as "Methodist" and repeatedly talks about teaching Sunday school fifty years ago during her first marriage. When asked about her church attendance since that time, she deflects the question by replying that she was "raised Methodist" and nearly every time the issue of her faith has been raised, she responds that it doesn't matter what you believe, it's about your actions and she quotes Matthew 25 (doing for the least of these). Both Warren and Saunders seem to become uncomfortable, and at times defensive, when being asked questions about their religious beliefs. imho NO
Socialist candidate Bernie Saunders is a cultural Jew who stated, "I am not an atheist but I don't believe in God." Huh? He recently told a Black Youth Leadership Conference that, "The Bible, if is about anything, it's about justice and standing up to the wealthy and powerful." The anti-Christian Saunders determined that an administration nominee (Russell Vought) was unfit for public office because of his Christian belief that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. imho NO
Beto O'Rouke is a non-practicing Catholic who has publically attacked both the Catholic church and her priests. The large majority of those who are Muslim, Jewish, and Christian believe that human sexuality and marriage are rooted in Scripture. O'Rouke recently stated that, if elected, he would ensure that any church who holds to those traditional religious beliefs and does not conform to liberal thought about same sex marriages would lose their tax-exempt status. A collective shudder went through the rest of the progressive candidates as they saw that the political blunder of one of their own guaranteed that he will never be elected our President. imho NO
Tulsi Gabbard is deeply committed to the polytheistic (many gods) religion of Vaishnava Hinduism, which teaches that the preserver god Vishnu and his incarnation Krishna are Supreme Gods. She took her congressional oath of office on the supreme yoga/Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. I have a lot of respect for her because she is openly honest about her religion and is not pretending to be a Christian to win an election! imho NO
Cory Booker is the most outspoken about his Baptist faith and when he speaks in churches he preaches his liberal politics with the passion and cadence of a Black Baptist preacher. I was impressed by what appeared to be his genuine and sincere Christian beliefs until after a shooting, he told CNN news that "offering thoughts and prayers (for victims and survivors) was bulls**t." He was making a point about gun control but that statement offended and turned away many of the Black (and non-Black) Christian voters whose support he needs next year. He also offended Black conservative voters when he applied a "religious test" to judicial nominee Naomi Rao and grilled her on her Christian beliefs about same sex marriage to make sure her beliefs were in alignment with his own progressive liberal religious beliefs. imho YES
Pete Buttigieg was baptized in the Catholic church as an infant and he grew up attending Catholic schools. While at Oxford University, he began to explore his sexuality and transferred from the conservative Catholic church to the ultra-liberal Episcopal church. He and his husband are members of that church and both are regular church-goers. Buttigieg articulates well the social justice doctrine of his Episcopal church and has said that "Scripture is about protecting the stranger, and the prisoner, and the poor person, and that idea of welcome." imho YES
"My religion defines who I am," said Joe Biden, "And I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life." Biden has said that it was his faith that brought him through the death of his first wife, Neilia, and his infant daughter in a car crash and through the death of his son, Beau, in 2015. A few years ago, Biden publicly stated that he supported his Church's doctrine on abortion and marriage and his votes as a Senator affirmed his Christian beliefs. During his current run for president, his progressive liberal advisers are redefining who he is and he no longer supports Catholic doctrine on abortion and marriage. Last Sunday, Biden attended a Catholic church and was denied Communion by the priest who later said, "Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching." Bishops and practicing Catholics are divided over whether Biden is still "Catholic." But from a strictly Biblical point of view that we are saved through grace alone by faith alone then, imho YES
Let's look now at our most recent former President. Barack Hussein Obama was born to a Muslim father and an atheist mother who listed his religion as "Muslim" in the Indonesian school where he received instruction in the Islam faith. Obama said he was converted to Christianity when he was twenty seven and was baptized at Trinity United Church in Chicago. The pastor, Jeremiah Wright, was quoted in a recorded interview as saying, "I made it comfortable for him to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background." But those who attended Trinity United Church of Christ said that Obama and his family were never involved in their church and he only attended for political reasons. Obama often spoke eloquently about his Christian beliefs and yet in 2015, a CNN poll showed that 29% believed he was Muslim. No modern president has ever had his faith questioned to the extent that Obama had. imho ???
If you'd asked me in 2016, I would have said Hillary Clinton imho YES and Donald Trump imho NO!!!
Donald Trump may tie with Dwight D. Eisenhower for being the least Christian president when he was elected. (Eisenhower was a Jehovah's Witness who, after being elected, was persuaded by the Rev. Billy Graham to become baptized and join the Presbyterian church.) During Trump's campaign, his cluelessness about the Christian faith was sometimes laughable. He misquoted the Bible several times and one time referred to "Second Corinthians" as "two Corinthians." At one photo opportunity to show him in church, he revealed his unfamiliarity with a church service when the communion plate was being passed down the pew and he took a wad of cash out of his pocket confusing the communion plate with the collection plate. I remember the photo of him holding up a Bible. It's a very old – what appears to be a pew Bible – hardcover, tattered and well-worn from years of use in a church. Stamped on this old pew Bible in very large brand-new shiny gold letters to be easily picked up by the camera, was the name DONALD TRUMP. When people were seeing the things I just commented on and they were disbelieving that Trump was a Christian, he held this Bible up at a conservative Christian rally and said that his mother gave it to him many years ago. Perhaps. But it looked like a prop to me. During the campaign, Trump said the Bible was his favorite book but he was never able to answer any questions about it. During an interview, he was asked if he liked the Old or New Testament better and he replied, "It's all the same to me." He was asked to name his favorite Bible verse and he replied by saying his "favorite chapter in Proverbs was never bend to envy." Trump didn't know the difference between a Bible "chapter" and a "verse" and the so-called biblical quote "never bend to envy" does not appear in the Bible. Trump said to an interviewer that he'd never asked God for forgiveness but, "When I drink my little wine and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness."
During a sermon where I did not advocate for any candidate but just talked about the faith of each one, I said that if Trump is elected president, he may be the most atheistic, immoral and ungodly president we have ever had. I would not say that today. Under the influence of Evangelical Christian Vice-President Pence, Trump has surrounded himself with Evangelical Christians and his first Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus was a devout Eastern Orthodox Christian. The majority of Trump's cabinet are Evangelical Christians and a few days ago, the media expressed their rage after Trump asked HUD secretary Dr Ben Carson to open the cabinet meeting in prayer. According to the racially diverse group of megachurch pastors Trump has invited to advise him on matters of faith, Trump has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and is now a Christian believer. I trust those Black, Hispanic and White men and women of God who know Trump better than you and I do. That's why if we apply the same standard to Trump that we applied to the liberal candidates, then... imho YES
Which Presidents were the most religious? Jimmy Carter was the first "born again" president and he still teaches Sunday School in his Baptist church. George W. Bush was our Nation's most outspoken Evangelical president. William McKinley was a strict Methodist who avoided drinking, swearing and other sins and sang hymns while working in his White House office and James Garfield was the only ordained clergyman to serve as president. And of course, Abraham Lincoln who as president attended church weekly, kept a Bible on his White House desk and would turn conversations with his visitors into discussions about religion. Lincoln gave magnificent political speeches and proclamations that were God-centered and in one of his inaugural addresses spoke of "Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land."
One of the above democratic candidates or Donald Trump will most likely be our next President and you may cry tears of great joy or tears of rage and grief. Just remember that no matter what the outcome, we have a God who has never yet forsaken this favored land and never will. God is in control. "The Lord has established His throne in Heaven, And His Kingdom rules over all." Psalm 103:19

A terrible, devastating day at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001

The terrorist attack on the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 (Video by Doug Thompson)
September 11, 2001, began as an unusually pleasant fall day in Washington, DC, and along most of the East Coats — no clouds in the sky, a bright sun and good temperatures. I had just arrived at the U.S. State Department to take pictures of some foreign dignitaries visiting the Secretary of State.
Across the river at the Pentagon, American Airlines slammed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., 34 minutes after the first plane hits the South Tower of the World Trade Center and almost an hour after the first plane hit the North Tower.
None of us in the room at the State Department knew of the events until my Blackberry notified me with a terse message: "Explosion. Pentagon. Get there." It came from my assignment editor at AFP.
Others were getting similar messages and an official came in to tell us "there is a problem in New York and at the Pentagon."
I sprinted to my parked Jeep Wrangler, with the top down, and dropped my cameras into the passenger seat, fire up the engine and headed for the 14th Street Bridge on Interstate 395, which crosses the Potomac and passes right by the Pentagon I could see a black column of smoke rising from the building, but I did not know, at that point, that a commercial airliner was involved or that it was part of a coordinate attack on America.
But 395 was blocked by police. Same for Memorial Bridge, so I headed down through Southeast DC to the bridge that passed over the Anacostia River into Maryland to get to Interstate 295, which would connect to 395 near Springfield, VA and, hopefully, north into the Nation's Capital.
At the stoplight leading up to the bridge, right across from one of the entranced to the Navy Yard, I set in traffic and noticed it was locked down with Marines in full combat utilities and M-16s. One was a female Marine with her M-16 with a bayonet which was taller than her, so I picked up one of my Nikon D-1 digital cameras with a telephoto zoom on it and shot about a half-dozen photos of her and other Marines at the gate before the light changed, and I could drive over the ridge and North to I-95 to 395.
I found a parking space at a hotel across the Interstate from the Pentagon and, with my cameras and a bag, sprinted along Columbia Pike to a high area that looked over the Pentagon with a good view of the first and large gash in the building that houses our country's military establishment.
The smoke was billowing out as I started shooting photos of the carnage. A fellow photographer asked: "What is that rancid smell?"
"A combination of fuel and burning flesh," I said. I had last smelled it somewhere in another place and another time a long time before. It had hoped I would never smell it again. It was then I heard that a commercial jetliner had smashed into the Pentagon and two others had brought town the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
We shot photos continuously throughout the day, swapping out Compact Flash Cards, and I fortunately had several fresh battery packs. That batteries did not last long in early digital cameras.
I interviewed several who had witnessed the plane crashing into the building, including a cab driver whose taxi had been struck and disabled by a light pole the plane hit as it passed low over on Columbia Pike. My last battery died just before midnight, and I spent another hour interviewing some others who had witnessed the plane. My photos included much of the devastation and the faces of those who tried to save as many as they could. Several times during the day, a runner came by to retrieve my compact flash cards and bring fresh batteries.
When I got home — a condo on North Fairfax Drive in Arlington, not far from the Pentagon — a card from agent John Ryan of the Navy's Criminal Investigative Service had been slid under the door.
"Please call me," said the handwritten script on the back of the card said. At first, I thought it was a prank. John Ryan was the main character in Tom Clancy's bestsellers.
After a short nap and shower, with by camera batteries recharging, I was sipping coffee shortly after the sun came up on Sept. 12 when I called the number on the card. "Ryan," said the person who answered the phone. It wasn't prank.
"Thank you for calling," he said. "I need to follow up on some information we received. Were you in the vicinty of the Washington Navy Yard on 11 Sept.?"
"Yes," I said.
"And what was your purpose there?"
"I was in my car waiting for the light to change."
"Was that vehicle a black Jeep Wrangler with a Virginia license plate?"
"Why were you taking photos of the Yard from your car?"
"That's what I do," I answered. "I'm a photojournalist."
"I'm a contractor for several news outlets. On Tuesday, I was on assignment for AFP."
"Is there a quick way to confirm that?"
"The best way would be a copy of this morning's Washington Post. There is a photo of a female Marine in full battle utilities and an M-16 standing post at the entrance on Page 6 of the paper." I had found the photo when my paper arrived at my front door that morning.
I heard a rustle of paper on the phone before he came back on the line.
"So I see," he said "Were you, by any chance at any other military installation on 11 Sept.?"
"Yes," I answered. "The Pentagon. There are other photos in the paper and others that can confirm that."
For the first time, he seemed to relax. He asked some other questions and asked me to confirm the last four digits of my Social Security number.
"That should take care of our interest in you," he said.
Before he hung up, I had to ask.
"Do you get any questions about your name?"
"All the time," he said. "I don't go by 'Jack' but I'm called that now around our office. Clancy is very popular here."
On Wednesday, I photographed the damage to the Pentagon and the faces of firemen and soldiers. Over the next weeks, I shot photos of those mourning in both Washington and New York.
A few days after 9/11, I dropped my wife off at her doctor in Falls Church, Va., which was just across the street from a movie theater that had a sign about the attack on its marquee. As I walked to the theater to shoot a photo or two of it, I hear a loud Harley-Davidson approaching and I had time to shoot on image of it passing with a tattered American flag flying from it. It remains my most treasured image of that terrible time, and appears in several hundred newspapers in America and around the world.
It was a grab shot, but for me, it showed a time when America united to respond to an attack on our way of life.

Despite the fact that all veins carry blood and their major role is to transport blood back to the heart, not all veins have the same size, shape, depth, and most importantly, they become diseased because of different reasons. Veins in the lower extremities for example, get enlarged because of the building up of high pressure from blood pooling there when the one-way valves in the veins do not function properly. This is not the case for facial veins because of the relative position of the head with respect to the heart. In the latter case, heredity and exposure to damaging Sun rays appear to be the most important contributors.
Traditionally, diseased veins, such as varicose veins, were ablated by surgery. The good news is that, nowadays a vein doctor rarely needs to resort to surgery and hospital stay by patients is seldom needed. Advances in medicine and medical technologies in the past decade have been so tremendous in the field of vein treatment, that minimally invasive technologies as diverse as the veins themselves have evolved and replaced vein ligation and stripping surgery.
The absolute goal of minimally invasive vein treatment systems is the same; that is, to destroy the targeted veins, so that blood re-routes itself into healthy veins. Currently, this is achieved by either chemically destroying the vein walls by using chemicals with low-toxicity that are consumed locally in the veins without significantly leaking into the body, or by means of electromagnetic radiation; visible, infrared, radiofrequency, or microwave radiation that selectively target the blood in the veins or the vein walls carrying the blood. Here, it should be pointed out that all these radiations are considered quite safe because they all are low frequency radiations that we are exposed to everyday. These radiations are effective in destroying diseased veins, not because of their frequency, but because of their highly focused nature.
Among the chemical based vein treatment systems sclerotherapy is the most common vein treatment modality. Sclerotherapy entails the injection of a chemical directly into the diseased vein using a tiny needle. Sclerotherapy, the oldest vein treatment system with a history of more than 150 years, is up to now the gold standard for treating leg spider veins. These veins are superficial and their ablation does not require the injection of large amounts of chemicals. Sclerotherapy, however, should be used cautiously for the treatment of facial spider veins because of the possibility of the injected chemical causing retinal damage or even blindness. Sclerotherapy is also not suitable for the treatment of large veins becuase these veins require higher concentration of chemicals and larger amounts. To this end, foam sclerotherapy, a technique that injects a foamed chemical instead of a fluid chemical was introduced. The aim was to increase surface contact area, exposure time, and minimize the risk of the chemical travelling to the brain and the amount of chemical needed for vein ablation. Foam Sclerotherapy is nowadays used mainly for leg branch varicosities.
Electromagnetic-based vein treatment systems; on the other hand, use either hand-held devices for topical applications, or laser fibers and catheters that are inserted and guided inside large varicose veins using Ultrasound imaging, a technique known as endovenous ablation. Topical applications are most suitable, as you may be able to anticipate, for superficial fine veins, such as facial reticular and spider veins laser treatment; whereas, endovenous ablation, either by means of a catheter generating radiofrequency or a laser fiber is the treatment of choice for the treatment of bulging leg varicose veins, such as the Saphenous vein.
Finally, it should be emphasized that vein treatment with the minimally invasive technologies is a very delicate procedure and that your vein doctor should understand besides the anatomy of veins, the physics behind electromagnetic radiation, the chemistry of the injected chemical, and he should be an expert in handling ultrasound imaging. It is for these reasons that in the last decade, a new specialty called phlebology was created having as goals the training of vein doctors specialized in minimally invasive vein treatment modalities. Currently phlebology is self-designated specialty, the same as plastic surgery or dermatology, recognized by the American Medical Association, AMA. At present, Dr. John Mauriello, an anesthesiologist by his primary training, is the president-elect of the American College of Phlebology.

Q: How can I prevent the page from reloading and doing nothing when trying to upload a file in PHP? I have a folder with a file called index.php and another folder called uploads. This is my index.php file...
<?php
  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    $file = $_FILES['file'];

    $fileName = $FILES['file']['name'];
    $fileTmpName = $FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    $fileSize = $FILES['file']['size'];
    $fileError = $FILES['file']['error'];
    $fileType = $FILES['file']['type'];

    $fileExt = explode('.', $fileName);
    $fileActualExt = strtolower(end($fileExt));

    $allowed = array('jpg','jpeg','png',"docx",'pdf','xlsx');

    if (in_array($fileActualExt, $allowed)) {
      if ($fileError === 0) {
        if ($fileSize < 10000001) {
          $fileNameNew = uniqid('', true).".".$fileActualExt;
          $fileDestination = 'uploads/'.$fileNameNew;
          move_uploaded_file($fileTmpName, $fileDestination);

A: Instead of using type="submit", use type="button" and onclick function.
<input type="button" name="submit" onclick="saveData()" value="Upload file">

Following a fine of £35,000 Estate agent Foxtons has been asked to appear at a hearing to be held by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets asking it to show that it is a "fit and proper person" [organisation] to manage property to let.
Leading up to the fine, Foxtons failed to provide safety information required for council inspections of private rental HMO properties. These are properties requiring a mandatory licence, where there are more than three storeys and where bathrooms or kitchens are shared by five people or more.
The Foxton's fine was imposed by Bow Magistrates Court when the agent pleaded guilty to failing to manage a landlord's property within the legal regulations, when acting as a managing agent for the landlord.
Environmental health and trading standards officers from the council investigated a house in Whitechapel, and for a period of 18 months had asked Foxtons to provide certificates showing that gas, electrical and fire alarm installations had been checked, together with details of residents and their ultimate landlord client.
Foxtons failed to comply within this time, and although the property was believed to be in good condition, a charge was brought under Section 236(1) of the Housing Act 2004 for failing to comply with a notice served under Section 235 of the same Act to provide the information.
Foxtons told the court it prided itself on its reputation and was remorseful about the failings that led to the offence. The court said it took account of Foxtons size, profits and the ease with which it could have provided the information when setting the fine.
A spokesman for Foxtons said it was unable to comment but it confirmed it had been asked to attend another hearing and that it is appealing against the court's decision.


Are you swimming against currents? Out of sync with the universe? In the wrong place at the wrong time again? No synchronicities?
If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it's probably because you don't think energy or vibes. According to physics, vibes are real, not things. The universe is a matrix of countless, ever-changing, interwoven rhythms. And we are in the thick of it.
If you want to be in sync with the universe, you gotta know its beats. This is not new science. Already thousands of years ago, wise men and women analyzed, cataloged, and charted the cosmic vibes. Yep, we're talking astrology. This post will tell you how to dance to the cosmic swing. Well, it'll give the basic dance steps only. You gotta choreograph your dance yourself.
You don't need to believe in astrology to take something away from this post. Just try it out and see if it works for you. Don't think of astrology as fortune telling. It's a method for calculating the movement of invisible, cosmic forces working behind the scene.
You're a little universe. All cosmic forces in the universe are present in you, just less powerful. The inner circle in the picture is you. The outer circle is the universe. The inner and outer circle move with different speeds. As they move harmonies and stresses wax and wane. It's your vibes against the universe's and magic happens if your vibes with the cosmic ones? Why? That's simple physics: Resonation boosts frequencies. Conclusion: it's all about anticipation and being mentally prepared.
To keep it simple, let's focus on the rhythm of the seven weekdays. Each day one planet exerts an exceptional influence. The influence of the other planets is still there, just one sticks out. The seven planets are the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the Sun. Don't think of them as planets-planets. These are cosmic-mental forces that influence mind and body, e.g., thinking, feeling, and health.
Monday stems from the Old English Mōnandæg, meaning Day of the Moon. This is a translation of the Latin lunae dies – same meaning. The moon waxes and wanes and that reminds us of the cosmic rhythms.
Go with the flow. Don't jump into activities on Monday morning. Instead, remind yourself who you are, want to be, and what you're trying to achieve. Remember the big picture. What happened last week? What do I want to achieve this week? Make a plan and set priorities.
Although the Moon governs traveling, Monday isn't a good time to travel. Too much of one thing. Write at home.
The moon manages subconsciousness and memory. Hence, let subconsciousness take over. Fish for ideas, concepts, solutions, and inspirations that rise more readily from the depth of your mind. You may have problems to focus. That's because the moon is always on the move. See where it takes you with your writing.
Monday is a good day to socialize. Reconnect with your publisher, editors, other writers, and your readers.
Tuesday stems from the Old English Tīwesdæg, meaning 'day of Tīw'. Tiw was the Germanic god of war. It's a translation of the Latin Dies Marti, Day of Mars. Don't take that literally. Mars represents your raw mental energy and drive. Hence, Tuesday is a good day to complete and accomplish things. Fight and endure the hard passages of your copy!
Be careful: Mars is inconsiderate and you my lack diplomacy. Mars loves to be the Last Samurai. Don't end up fighting your readers, family, and friends.
It's the worst day to get stuck in traffic or do tedious work since you'll lack patience. Another warning: Mars fuels sexuality. It's the day of least fidelity. And the right day to write some hot lines.
Mars is a destructive force by nature. But you can do something about it. Work hard and go to the gym. You can use Mars to dissolve negative habits and thinking. Give yourself a hard time and see what you get out of it.
Wednesday, Wōdnesdæg, is the Day of Odin, a (wrong) translation of the Latin Mercurii Dies. Mercury is the mental force that fuels intelligence and rationality. It's the perfect day to create plots, research, and polish language.
Mercury is playful and talkative. You'll get bored easily. Avoid tedious work and do some fun jobs. On the negative side, you may be drawn into playing games and indulge in Twitter and Facebook. Spread your writings in the social media.
In it's best shape, Mercury is a magician. He turns inspirations into knowledge and experience. Give your author career a little boost.
A warning: Mercury is a prankster. Be careful signing contracts.
Thunresdæg, the Day of Thunder, owes its name to Thor. The Latin is Jovis Dies, Day of Jupiter. In astrology, Jupiter is the Greater Fortune. Thursday is the day of success, the day to close deals, sign agreements, and collect prizes.
Jupiter is jovial and you can rely on people's generosity. You will find yourself particularly generous too. It's the perfect day to forgive other people's mistakes and make up for your own.
Friday is the day of Frigga, the Germanic version of Veneris dies, day of Venus. Venus is the goddess of love, art, and beauty. Do everything in the name of love. Write a chapter of your romance novel. Be artistic! Design something beautiful! Imagine something inspiring!
Friday night is the best night to find love or rekindle it.
Saturday, Sæternesdæg, is the day of Saturn, the God of Time. What do time and rest have in common? Both are restrictions. Saturn governs rules, laws, limitations, and throws all those annoying spanners in your works. Saturn is karma and adversity.
How to deal with Saturn constructively? First of all, let go of your anger. Accept challenges as what they are: opportunities to learn and develop skills. Meet your challenges patiently and constructively. Be creative in solving your problems.
Though it's the perfect day to fix issues, you should not bother about work. A little allegory: after farmers tilled their fields, planted the seeds, and watered the ground, they leave it at that and let the crops grow. Instead, solve all these little (private) problems that vexed you during the week. The one you kept postponing. Do grocery shopping, fix the house or car, help family and friends, or cut the lawn.
Sunday, Sunnandæg, Dies Solis, is the day of the sun. In Astrology, the sun represents the soul. Be yourself and feed your soul. What is perfect soul food? Kindle the four human essentials, happiness, beauty, love, and meaningfulness. Pursue your heart's desire.
If you have kids, spend most of the day with them – Friday is the day for spouse or girlfriend, remember?
The sun promotes health. Our daystar provides our planet with light, energy, and life, hence it's a good day to recharge, unwind, and go to a spa. Sport is good but don't overdue it, especially in the evening. Close the day and week with a splendid dinner.
Circumstances are the end-result of past thoughts, feelings, and action. Circumstances are fluid. Think vibes, rhythm, and tides to make circumstances flow the right way. Most of all, focus on the present. The past is a memory, the future but a hunch.


The first time the Estate has come from four vineyards with Kentucky making an appearance (30%). Wallis, McCutcheon and Judd (34/19/17) the old hands.
Hand harvested, whole bunched pressed and wild yeast fermented in a mixture of old and new Frenach oak barrels for 11 months.
Call this an 'entry level wine' at your peril. What a peach! White-fleshed stone fruit, buttercream, and soft waves of vanilla. A squeeze of lemon juice adds further appeal. There's a depth to this wine which has a cuddle factor about it. Faint raw cashew fades into the background. Tight, grapefruit acidity cracks at the death.
Charming, classy, a delightful wine.

Often when I am writing some text in HTML I need to insert a special letter or symbol and I can never remember the code. There are lots of charts on the web but I wanted one that was just the HTML/ISO characters and was clear and easy to read. So here is my version. Now if you are looking for a virgule (#047), an octothorp (#035), a pilcrow (#182) or even the Euro sign (#128), here's where to go.
back space and such. Number 32 is empty in the chart because it is the character for a space. Number 160 is also a space, a non-breaking space. The number 7 is still reserved to ring the bell on the teletype and Telex machines.
In HTML many of these numeric entities can also be written as alpha entities. For example an ampersand results from entering either & or &. A yen symbol, ¥, can be either &165; or ¥. The copyright symbol, ©, is either © or © etc. For more information about characters, symbols and their history explore the information and links at the bottom of this page.
It's best to view this chart in an up-to-date version of Netscape. Other browsers may not support as many of the higher characters.
These and similar codes from the digital world have an interesting history. Some of the character codes date back to the beginning of manual telegraphy. Here are some links to more information about the past, present and future of digital communication and global standardization efforts.
A great place to start is at Jim Price's site with his ASCII Chart page along with some history and Q&A's about ASCII.
For lists of all the alpha entities go to ISO 8879 Entity Names or, from the same helpful folks, ASCII - ISO 8859-1 with HTML 3.0 Entities Table as well as ASCII Symbol Table - with HTML codes.
Regarding the MS Windows Character Set: Code positions 128 - 159 in ISO 8859-1, are reserved for control purposes. They do not represent graphic characters.
Microsoft Windows, however, assigns to some positions in this range printable characters and symbols. These include usefull, but not universally supported, characters such as: as "smart quotes", em dash, en dash, and trademark symbol. Using these codes in HTML outside of Windows can result in blank spaces or unexpected, incorrect characters.
Sometimes the Windows Character Set is called the "ANSI character set", but it has not been approved by ANSI. It has been officially registered at IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, as windows-1252. It is also listed elsewhere as WinLatin1, or Windows code page 1252.
For a list of all character sets assigned by IANA click here.
There is an excellent discussion of issues and pitfalls involved with the use of the Windows Character Set by Jukka Korpela, along with safe substitutions. Also by the same author there is a tutorial on character code issues.
Back to the roots of the codes, try Steven Searle's A Brief History of Character Codes and if that's not enough for you here's a site about Baudot, Father of the Baud, and even more about Baudot here.
Now, on to the history of Telegraphy and Data Communication. There is a good History of Telegraphy and much more of interest on the wkipedia.org site. Also, look at Jared Hall's A Brief History of Data Communications and Donald Kimberlin's Telex & TWX History.
Thuglife's site has a page on The ASCII History and lots more related links on the home page. Also, check out Lev Manovich's comments on Vuk Cosic's work along with some history of the movement and several good links.
And finally, go read The Elements of Typographic Style. It's by Robert Bringhurst — the Los Angeles born Canadian poet, book designer, typographer, historian and linguist. This classic book is as beautiful to look at as it is to read. And it inspired the animation at the top of this page.

Buildings in Harborough will be lit up a powerful poppy red to mark this week's Remembrance events
The new lights have been installed by Harborough District Council on shop fronts on The Square and at the Symington Building
By Red Williams
Updated Monday, 8th November 2021, 12:06 pm
The town centre in Market Harborough and the Symington Building are to be lit up a powerful poppy red to mark this week's Remembrance events.
The new lights have been installed by Harborough District Council on shop fronts on The Square and at the Symington Building, the council's headquarters, on Adam and Eve Street.
They will be illuminated to showcase the Remembrance commemorations from Thursday November 11 until Monday November 15.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Mike Kapur OBE, and Royal British Legion (RBL) county chairman Col Robert Martin are exhorting organisations to light up their buildings to salute the glorious fallen.
Cllr Phil King, who leads Harborough council, said: "I am pleased that we will be able to use the lights for the first time on such a poignant occasion to mark Remembrance Day to remind people of the ultimate sacrifice made by local residents during the world wars and other more recent conflicts."
The authority has set up the low-energy LED lights which can change colour to mark or promote significant events and seasonal occasions and to highlight charities and national days.
"In future it is hoped the lights will also be used to attract people to the town, create a nice atmosphere in the evenings, boost the night-time economy, make people feel safer and enhance the attractiveness of the historic town centre," said the council.
Stewart Harrison, the chairman of the RBL's Market Harborough branch, said: "I think this is a brilliant idea - and I'm sure think the public will like it.
"Red is a symbolic colour of Remembrance.
"It represents the importance of acknowledging the sacrifice of those who didn't come back - as well as those still affected by conflict and the armed forces helping countries across the world."
Cllr King added: "The lights have been tastefully fitted, in collaboration with local businesses, and will be used to promote events and commemorate other important occasions in the future."

St. Nicolai Kapell —Undredal Stave Church

Undredal Norway
Norwegian Lutheran State Church
Dedicated to St. Nicolas, this is the smallest of the authentic medieval wooden stave churches—the nave is less than 13 feet wide. It may have been built as early as AD 1147. The church lost its original look by 1722 as log construction replaced the stave, a spire added, and the exterior paneled. The interior of the nave is from the original medieval church.
