Released in July 2018, the Mallorca 360 Season 1 Soundtrack includes all the songs used on Mallorca 360's 360º VR videos throughout its first season 2017-2018. If you like New Age, Ambient, or Space music, this is the music album you're looking to get, as it's meant as a meditative, relaxing soundtrack that simultaneously evokes some classic, romantic themes & transports you to another world and feeling.
Listen to the songs in the CDBaby Player below or at the CDBaby Store here.
The Mallorca 360 Season 1 Soundtrack is inspired by Mallorca itself and was written, except for The Wait and Quicksand, specifically for Mallorca 360's 360-degree, virtual reality videos of Mallorca, Spain, where you can relax and contemplate the beauty of Island locations while virtually standing within them. The music takes you beyond the location, lifting you to another space and story.
The Wait and Quicksand are of course, a different story. They were used in the Music Mix videos that jump through a number of locations and were actually written for the upcoming album, The Hunt, but they perfectly captured the mix of locations, weaving a story, as Jamsphere Magazine said of Quicksand, "It's a little like a film score." Though The Wait can reflect many things, the Huffington Post review called it, "bright, dainty, elegant" and "charming and delightful", making its use within the Music Mix videos ideal.
The music and sounds are meant to transport you not just to what you see in the videos, but beyond the videos themselves, so whether you're watching or you close your eyes while listening to the music, you move beyond yourself and unto a higher plane of relaxation and love.
I hope you enjoy the Mallorca 360 Season 1 Soundtrack and feel transported by its magic, and may you always enjoy the deep and pleasurable meditation of life, love, and beauty.


Is my new exploration in the world of the Ketogenic Diet just a race for life?
Is my new exploration in the world of the Ketogenic Diet just a race for life? Or, actually, right now I do feel that I am doing it because I am embracing some emotions for whatever is new and radical. It was strange and awkward to grow up as a teenager in New York. For me it was particularly curious as I was, for just about anyone, a different and surprising Italian boy who used an odd lexicon and did not every day wear the standard sport clothing and shoes. Which just helped them to make fun of me.
In fact, while my sister and I grew up as teenagers in New York with a unique and strange Italian character, we somehow already needed to catch and embrace particular music and fashion that were not yet in the mainstream. We felt proud of following some punk bands that, just 5 or 6 years later, ended up becoming a mainstream rhythm for everyone. In my last operation a good part of my detailed memory was cut away but I do remember things like… The Ramones and Sonic Youth … and… When I get some wi-fi connection I'll look it up properly.
As I listened to Serena's UK English computer voice reading me that e-mail, I felt overwhelmed by the positive sentence structure that they had typed out. Her voice is flat as hell but that information truly made me raise my closed hand up in the sky, like when your little football team is scoring against the posh one. Now that I have a wi-fi I can tell you that I feel the romantic mood of the Smiths, and the MTV unplugged concert of Nirvana. They just cheer me up, as "I need an easy friend". It does seem that 7 years ago with the aid of my cool family I might have really caught a strange new way of looking at cancer which might soon become a main stream miracle.
And so, I then asked Serena to read me the beginning of page 159 of the Finch in My Brain -to remind me what I thought about it the first time around- 7 years ago.
I had written this exactly in the place where I am now hanging out and waiting for an operation once again. And yes, similarly to that very moment in this hospital this time around there are also two older men in my room and a third one who we just ignore as only the big machine next to him can remind us that he is still alive.
So, a Ketogenic Diet is strange and like many of these sophisticated trials it does not work for everyone, and in fact it could be dangerous if confronted without the assistance of a superhero like my sister. Actually, now that I think about it I would very much like to see this kind of normal humans publically presented as the new superstars in mainstreamed films….

Denver moves into 3rd in West with 110-104 win over Clippers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nikola Jokic had 30 points and 14 rebounds, Michael Porter Jr. scored 25 points and the Denver Nuggets moved past the Los Angeles Clippers for the third seed in the Western Conference with a 110-104 victory Saturday night.
Denver, which is a half-game in front of Los Angeles at 43-21, has won five straight and is 9-1 since Jamal Murray went down with a torn ACL in his left knee on April 12. Murray, who is rehabbing in LA, was at the game.
PJ Dozier's pullup jumper gave the Nuggets a 101-91 lead with 3:32 remaining before the Clippers scored seven straight points to make it a one-possession game. After a Denver timeout, DeMarcus Cousins was called for a foul as Jokic was attempting a 3-pointer. Jokic made all three free throws to give the Nuggets breathing room.
Facundo Campazzo then added a 3-pointer from the corner to make it 107-98 with 1:08 remaining.
Paul George led the Clippers with 20 points and Rajon Rondo added 18. Kawhi Leonard returned to the lineup after missing nine of the past 10 games due to right foot soreness and had 16 points.
Cousins also scored 16 for LA (43-22), which has dropped its last three and had a seven-game home winning streak snapped.
Los Angeles trailed 52-47 at halftime but Reggie Jackson's step-back 3-pointer completed a 10-4 run to put the Clippers back on top. On the ensuing trip down the floor, LA lost momentum when George received a flagrant 1 foul with 8:54 remaining in the third quarter for a shoulder block and push to Campazzo.
The Nuggets took control after that with a pair of free throws by Campazzo and seven straight points by Jokic to go up 65-57 midway through the quarter. Denver would lead by as many as 11 in the period and went into the fourth up 83-73,
The Clippers started off strong, making their first seven shots from the field to take an 18-7 lead. But Los Angeles' hot shooting didn't continue as it went 10 of 36 the remainder of the first half.
Denver narrowed the margin to one 28-27 at the end of the first quarter and then took its first lead with 10:37 remaining in the second quarter on JaMychal Green's 3-pointer. The game was tied at 36-all before the Nuggets scored eight straight points for their largest lead of the first half.
TIP INS
Nuggets: Dozier added 16 points. ... F Zeke Nnaji was out due to a left ankle sprain.
Clippers: Reggie Jackson scored 15 points, including three 3-pointers. ... G Amir Coffey remains in the league's health and safety protocol.

NetEnt made some big announcements at ICE regarding Narcos and Viking slots coming this year, as well as Gonzo's Quest going into a virtual reality format for players to enjoy.
Narcos is being developed alongside Gaumont, which is one of the longest-standing film companies in operation, as well as the produce of this popular series. Alongside Narcos, NetEnt also made it known that they will soon be releasing Vikings as well, another slots game based on a hugely popular television series, set to arrive on an internet-connected device near you towards the end of this year. Vikings is being developed in cooperation with A+E Networks, and will deliver the exploits of Ragnar Lothbrok, his friend Floki, and the rest of the cast to the reels.
At this point in time Narcos is one of the most-watched series worldwide, with people from over 130 countries accessing it through Netflix. It is currently producing its 4th season, and has received both critical acclaim and viewer votes, having been nominated for both Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
NetEnt is seeking to bank on this global popularity and, hopefully, expand their player base by means of it. According to Henrik Fagerlund, The CPO for the company, this series' fan base will provide NetEnt with an entirely new demographic that they will be able to market their games to. It also highlights the connection between popular TV series and slots, and this seems to be something many developers are now focusing on.
The Vikings television show relates the adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons, and is another show that has quickly become a firm favourite with viewers all over the world. It has managed to successfully combine myth, legend, fast-paced action and history as it tells the story of the adventures of these raiders from so long ago. The chances are, NetEnt will do the same in its slots game, as they are exceptionally good at marrying game play with storylines, and carrying a theme through to every level.
Gonzo's Quest VR is expected to be released in the summer of 2018, and will stand as an industry first. This is thanks to it being made available through a web browser that does not necessitate any sort of special integration by operators, or require any distinctive applications being downloaded by players. There has been much talk about this VR game in the last year or so, and it looks like now, NetEnt is finally bringing it to fruition.

Bingo - More Than a Game for Ocean City Players
On Thursday night, November 16, 2006, the parking area of the American Legion Post located at the Coastal Highway is filled to its capacity, meaning that it is bingo night. The tables for the games that have been placed all throughout the hall are already filled with players who are busy arranging their lucky charms and bingo cards before the 7:00 p.m. start of the regular bingo games.
According to the 3rd Vice Commander of the American Legion, Frank Hoover, you have to really love the game in order to devote that kind of attention to it. The American Legion Post collaborates with 166 volunteers from the Lion's Club to organize the bingo event. Profits from the bingo event will be given directly to the charities and the rest will be given to the non-profit organizations. Bingo games are really a popular choice to use as a fundraising tool for many charity groups, churches and other non-profit organizations, because a lot of people love to participate and join in on all of the fun.
The American Legion Post has 75 - 85 people playing during the off season, but during the summer season, about 150 - 170 people play in the Post. About 28 regular games are played at the Post from 7:00 p.m. up to 10:00 p.m. Winners can win as much as $10 for the early birds and $500 for the regular bingo games. 2 of the bingo players who are considered to be regulars at the Post are best friends Anita Crouthamel, a resident of Ocean City and a bingo regular for 20 years now, and Vivian Wolf of Berlin, a 10 year bingo regular.
The 2 split whatever winnings they receive. According to Anita Crouthamel, she started playing bingo while she was still in Baltimore as a form of relaxation and she does not really care if she wins or not. In Worcester County, the bingo games are regulated by the Worcester County Bingo Board. They generally issue permits, collect licensing fees and check the financial status and stability of every bingo game in the county. Don Malloy, the Board Chairman, commented that he cannot really explain why bingo is very popular in their county, but a lot of people really love the game. Nonetheless, Worcester only permits churches, fire companies and non-profit organizations to hold the game.
There are also laws regarding advertising, accounting and when the games can be held. Absolutely no alcoholic beverages can be served during the bingo games and only those that are 18 years old and above will be allowed to participate in the games. About 38 temporary permits were issued for one time games just last year. That means that they are allowed to hold games once or twice a week but not more than 125 games each year. The American Legion Post is 1 of the 4 organizations that hold an annual permit.
Anita Crouthamel won the Early Bird Game and eagerly waved her Bingo Flag. Vice Commander Frank Hoover handed her the prize for that bingo night.

The scars of the past remain, but Spain must accept the reality of its history rather than trying to rewrite it
Today marks the 40th anniversary of Spain's constitution, which was ratified by a referendum on 6 December 1978. George Kassimeris writes that despite the country's progress over the last four decades, the ghosts of the past have not been fully laid to rest. He argues that rather than trying to re-write the reality of their history, Spanish citizens must accept it and find a way to look to the future.
Today (6 December) Spain commemorates the 40th anniversary of its democratic constitution that followed General Franco's death. Having spent the past week in Madrid the feeling I got by talking to Spanish family and friends was that of a certain ambivalence hanging over the commemoration. As if no one quite knows how – or even what – to celebrate.
Back in the referendum of 1978, the Spaniards voted decisively for a new liberal democratic constitution that put a formal end to the dictatorial era of General Franco, which by late 20th-century Mediterranean political standards was an impressively progressive document. For it neatly balanced republican institutions with a hereditary head of state, popular power with the rule of law, majority dominance with minority safeguards and – critically for a nation historically afflicted by regional conflicts – ensured sufficient federal autonomy vis-a-vis the centre.
On paper, it looked perfect. But constitutions in themselves, as Portugal and Greece had already discovered much to their chagrin, do not automatically change the patterns, dynamics and political traditions of generations.
Don't get me wrong: all three Mediterranean countries went on to become healthy and viable parliamentary democracies. In fact, in these past 40 years, the Mediterranean trio have changed almost beyond recognition. They became fully integrated members of the EU, held regular competitive elections, protected civil and political liberties and kept their respective armies in the barracks.
But in the case of Spain, despite the progress, the ghosts of the past have not been laid to rest. The fierce debate currently taking place over the current government's decision to exhume Franco's body clearly shows that the scars and traumas of the past remain.
If the objective back in September, when Spain's Congress of Deputies voted to remove the bones of General Franco from his tomb at the Valley of the Fallen, a Pharaonic-style mausoleum topped by a gigantic 150 meters cross which rises out of the mountain range outside Madrid, was a symbolic start towards a full-blown, multi-party process of establishing an 'official truth', it has not worked. If, however, the rationale behind it was to initiate a futile, retrospective exercise in memory politics that will lead with mathematical precision to a bitter, toxic, divisive argument within Spain's body politic, then it was a brilliant idea.
For somebody like me who grew up in Greece, a country with a very similar trajectory, it is not difficult to understand why the burden of the past continues to weigh so heavily on the present. Greece, like Spain, from the end of the Second World war to the mid-1970s suffered in quick succession a senseless and catastrophic civil war, an extended period of quasi-parliamentary rule of low legitimacy with strong autocratic characteristics, and finally a harsh military dictatorship. When democracy did finally arrive in 1974 it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
Metapolitefsi as the Greeks called their 1974 transition to multi-party democracy proved in fact as complex, difficult and unsatisfactory as the Spanish one. In Spain, the early post-Franco years were marked by a curious amalgam of continuity and change. The symbols, the rhetoric and the constitution changed but without any systematic purge of the army, bureaucracy and the police apparatus, the key sections of the state continued to be in the hands of the old order.
Not surprisingly, post-dictatorial governmental attempts to do the impossible, namely to placate both the army (and thus keep them in the barracks) and the public (and meet popular demands for justice) led inevitably to half-measures with regards to political reform, anti-establishment discontent and bitterness on the left for years to come.
Needless to add, this was far from ideal, but in giving priority to peace and civil society rather than exacting revenge and reprisals, it proved to be the only realistic way possible to reshape the culture of governance, initiate a break from the undemocratic patterns of the past and pave the way for the smooth alteration of power between right and left, as demonstrated by the landmark electoral wins of Andreas Papandreou in 1981 in Greece and Felipe Gonzalez in Spain, a year later.
Fixing the past has always been more important in the political cultures of Mediterranean Europe than establishing a clear order of national priorities for the future. Spain's 40th anniversary of its 1978 democratic constitution offers a good opportunity to reflect on these four decades and assess the achievements and failures.
Although legitimate and long-overdue, Franco's exhumation (and other de-glorification initiatives such as the removal of public monuments) should not be allowed to turn into a belated search for an 'official truth', however desirable this might be in certain sections of Spanish society. Apart from the fact that it is counter-productive and damaging to the health of Spanish democracy, it is also illusory. For, truth is subjective and personal. And so is memory. Rightly or wrongly, dwelling constantly on the past will not undo the transition, nor will it reverse the manifold dark legacies of the Caudillo's epoch.
Spain needs to move on, as Greece and Portugal have done. Rather than trying to re-write the reality of their history, Spaniards must come to accept it and find a way to honour all their dead. If Mediterranean Europe has learned anything since the early 1970s, it is that the dictum 'Time is the universal healer' is a lie.

We just released our Seed Capital reVIEW report analyzing seed and angel capital being raised by early-stage companies in Minnesota during the first six months of 2014. For this report, we analyzed survey responses relating to 84 separate deals completed during the first half of this year. The majority of deal investors were individual angels or angel groups. The sample encompassed a broad range of industries, with a particular concentration in the medical/healthcare, technology, and cleantech/biotechnology industries.
o Participation rights in future investment rounds.
o In preferred equity deals, 80 percent reported a 1x liquidation preference.
o One board seat or board observation right.
o Almost all respondents reported debt with an initial term of at least one year.
To review the complete survey, click here.
We hope you enjoy the second publication of the Seed Capital reVIEW and look forward to your support as we collect data for the second half of 2014 (not long after the ball drops on 2015).

Things that make men go "Oooooh!"
Gunny's Gear
November 2, 2021 Kim du Toit Guy Stuff, The Gun Thing, Weapons
All things must pass, to quote George Harrison, but I have to admit that I never thought that this would apply to Gunny R. Lee Ermey, R.I.P.
Anyway, his gun stuff and related items are being auctioned off (and thanks to all the Readers who sent me notice that this is happening).
In keeping with the eccentric nature of the man come a few interesting items, e.g.
(The drooling sound you hear in the background comes from Reader Mike Of The Dueling Pistols.)
Anyway, your job for the day is to scrutinize the list of items, and tell me which ONE (and only ONE) you'd like to own. (Right-click on the pics to get a full description.) Answers in Comments.
A Man's Man
August 28, 2021 Kim du Toit Guy Stuff, Heroism
I was truly saddened to read of the death of Ted Dexter at the age of 86. Very few Americans would know who he is, but allow me to make the introduction.
Over ten years, "Lord Ted" Dexter played cricket for England for 62 international Test matches, of which he was captain of the team for 30. He scored thousands of runs, took dozens of wickets as a bowler, and after retiring from cricket went on as a team selector and chairman of the Marylebone Cricket Club (Lord's). Throughout his life, he was unfailingly helpful to young cricketers, always polite and ready with some good advice.
For most men, that would be enough.
He was also a scratch golfer, a pilot (who flew from the UK to Australia, and back), rode a motorcycle and once ran for Parliament.
He failed at the last — one of his few failures — but that leads me to tell a personal story about the man.
By running for Parliament in 1964, Ted missed the start of the England tour of South Africa, but he was back in the side in time for the Test at at the Wanderers cricket ground in Johannesburg, where an excited young boy of eight (that would be me) happened to be sitting in the stands with his dad one row back from the field, right at the point where Ted was fielding.
Of course, "Lord Ted" didn't just stand there in the field; he turned and bantered with the crowd, who responded delightedly. He had a bright red stain on his white cricket trousers where he'd been polishing the cricket ball, and one wag in the crowd yelled, "What happened to your pants?" Ted laughed and said, "It's hot out here."
Whereupon the same guy said, "Would you like a cold one, Uncle Ted?" and Dexter laughed and said, "Next over."
When he came back to field in his earlier position, he walked right over to the boundary fence and said, "Where's that cold one?" Of course, someone popped a can of Castle Lager and handed it to him — whereupon Ted put his head back and drained the thing in one giant swallow, to tumultuous applause. Needless to say, every time he came back to the boundary he was offered a fresh beer, but after one more he said, "Thanks, but I still have to bat later," to much good-natured ribbing. ("Maybe tomorrow, Ted; you're not going to get us all out today!")
Oh, and to finish Ted Dexter's story: he was married to the same woman for over sixty years. Nowadays, that's considered quite a feat; to a man like him, it would be quite unremarkable.
He was one of my boyhood heroes, and still is today.
R.I.P. Ted Dexter, OBE.
Missing Comfort
November 20, 2020 Kim du Toit Food & Drink, Guy Stuff, Traditions
As any fule kno, I am partial to the occasional visit to a pub. [pause to let laughter die down]
But not just any pub. I have strict rules for places which charge me far too much for the pleasure of indulging myself, because if I am going to be hit with a $7 (or more) tab for a single beer (!!!), the establishment had better offer me more than just a pint. Here's a short list of necessities:
Decent beer. Any bar in the U.S. which doesn't give me a choice of at least three British-ale equivalents won't see me after a single awful American beer, and never again as well. (Curiously, I find Mexico's Negra Modelo to be the closest thing to a decent ale, although I do have to pour it from glass to glass a few times to get rid of the appalling and excessive fizz.) If they serve Fuller's London Pride or Boddington's, then we can be friends and they can be assured of a follow-up visit (or two, or three). And if the beer isn't up to snuff, they'd damn well better have a decent selection of single-malts or gins, or else it's to the door I'll be heading.
No loud music. I've talked before about my hatred for this piece of modernism, whereby the acceptable noise of drunken people having a good time has to be drowned out by music — any kind of music, really, not just the revolting thumpa-thumpa of hip-hop — as though the background noise of simple conversation and occasional laughter are somehow incompatible with drinking pleasure.
Loud TV programs. I can live with this if a.) it's a "sports" bar or b.) there's a big game being played (e.g. Bears vs. Packers or Chelsea vs. Arsenal). But if I walk into a bar and there's a large-screen TV showing ESPN's SportsCenter (i.e. people talking about sport instead of playing it), I turn around and walk out. Don't even get me started if it's CNN, Fox News or (gawd help us) Oprah Winfrey (I had to endure that once — client lunch, so I had no control — and it took me days to recover).
A foot-rail at the bar counter. This may seem a strange one, but it's a critical part of drinking that's too often overlooked. Note this otherwise-excellent setup (in a private house, withal):
But the Arrow Of Accusation points to the missing piece, and the whole pub is ruined by the glaring omission.
It's a simple thing, really. I (and many others) actually prefer to drink standing up, and especially around the bar counter, where space is at a premium. It's the one time I don't mind being in a crowd, because I am in the company of people with a common goal, that of getting a good buzz on and enjoying life, and I far prefer a crowded bar to a nearly-empty one, which is depressing. If one is enjoying the company of a lady, standing close to her bar stool makes the whole activity more intimate, too. But if you're going to stand, you must have a rail to rest a foot on, because otherwise you get tired of standing. (I don't know why that it, but it's a fact nevertheless.) Look at this place:
That picture simply screams out that I'll be there till closing time, or later (don't ask; I'm still banned from The Blue Cow which, needless to say, served about five excellent ales — all of which I sampled extensively — and had a brass foot-rail).
Decent decor. I hate modernist interior design, as all my Readers know well, but while I prefer the traditional pub style, it doesn't have to be that. Here's the inside of the fantastic Randolph's Bar at the Warwick Hotel in Manhattan:
…and yes of course it has a foot-rail at the counter. And yes, I have been tossed out of that place too, several times, but always gently as I used to be a frequent guest there (hi, Carlo!). On each of those occasions, the company was excellent and much disposed towards trying to finish all the Scotch in the place, but the atmosphere and decor did no harm to the attempt, either.
Here's yet another of my favorite haunts, the Coq d'Or at the Drake Hotel in Chicago (where I do not have a tempestuous history, albeit not for lack of trying):
It's a little hard to see (bottom left), but yes, there is a foot-rail, and it's brass.
All this bar talk is making me thirsty. And now, if you'll excuse me, my post-birthday hangover needs a little TLC and that gin isn't going to drink itself.

I always knew there was a reason I liked this man:
He has long been known as a model railway enthusiast — even if at times he didn't want to talk about it.
But now Sir Rod Stewart's legendary layout — 26 years in the making — can be seen for the first time in all its finished glory.
…and it's stunning. Hie thee hence to see it.
I always wanted to do this, only my layout would have been an Alpine scene in Germany, circa 1900. Back in the early 1990s, I even bought period-correct Fleischmann HO engines (three), half a dozen carriages, and built a couple of model houses (also period-correct).
Alas, life got in the way (i.e. divorce, lost the house and therefore the basement) and I never got to build it in. But Rod did, and good for him.
Crossing America – 2019
October 2, 2019 Kim du Toit Guy Stuff
Time to play this game again.
The Challenge: You have the opportunity to go back in time, arriving on the east coast of North America circa 1650 in the early spring, and your goal is to cross the North American continent, taking as much time as you need. When / if you reach the Pacific coastline, you'll be transported back to the present day. Your equipment for this journey will be as follows (taken back in the time capsule with you):
— enough provisions for the first five days' travel
— a backpack containing some clothing essentials
— a winter coat, raincoat and boots
— waterproof sleeping bag
— an axe, and a small sharpening stone
— a box of 1,000 "strike anywhere" waterproof matches
— a portable water filtration system
— a topographic map of North America
— binoculars and a compass
— a current U.S. Army First Aid kit
— ONE long gun (shotgun or rifle) and 800 rounds of ammo (but no scope; and no interchangeable-barrel rifles like a Thompson Center Encore or Blaser; drillings are acceptable, but you still only get 800 rounds of ammo, total)
— ONE handgun (and 1,000 rounds)
— and THREE knives (which can include a multi-tool knife like a Leatherman).
Once there, you'll be given a horse, a mule and a dog — but apart from that, you're on your own. Remember you'll be traveling through deep woods, open prairie, desert and mountains. You may encounter hostile Indian tribes and dangerous animals en route, which should be considered when you answer the following questions (and only these):
1. What long gun would you take back in time with you?
2. What handgun?
3. What knives?
Unlike previous surveys, I'm not going to tabulate the answers; just have at it in Comments. Reasons need not be given, as the choices will pretty much speak for themselves. If you must justify your choices, keep it short (as I have with mine).
Kim's choices:
Long: Mauser M96 (Swedish) 6.5x55mm. Flat-shooting, manageable recoil, super-reliable, and more accurate than I can shoot it, at any distance.
I'd probably add some kind of peep sight:
Handgun: Ruger Redhawk Stainless in .357 Mag with a 5.5″ barrel and (new from Ruger!) 8-shot cylinder. Indestructible, and in a pinch can be used for hunting.
Knives: Fox 440 bush knife, Anza skinner and Swiss Army Champ (no explanations necessary):
Oh, and by the way, I'd take a sharpened roofing hammer instead of an actual axe:
All the above must assume that I would be forty years younger, and have better eyesight than I have now. At my current age and rickety state, I might as well just give up and lie on the beach on the Atlantic shoreline, eating my provisions and waiting to die…
Over to you, in Comments.

Hello and welcome everybody to the psychic development course. The first question to answer what is psychic development? Psychic development is growing and expanding your psychic ability. Whether you are a psychic or wold like to be one or just have an interest in psychic things this course will help you.
One thing that must be made clear is a psychic or psychic development is not mediumship or spirit world communication. This is separate. To explain more clearly psychic energy is understanding and dealing with things on earth whereas mediumship is the spirit world. So the development is to help you and other people you are connected to.
Have you ever thought about someone you know and then they call you or you suddenly meet them somewhere? Have you ever had the feeling to do something or go somewhere or the opposite the feeling of not to do something or to cancel going somewhere. This is the psychic ability withen you at work. There may have been times in your life where you have ignored these feelings and regretted it after.
Everybody had a psychic ability but it can be more developed in some. The course is to help you grow and expand your own psychic ability with teaching and exercises you can do to help achieve this.
By developing your psychic ability you can get greater insights into your own life and others and receive information about people and situations without words.
I will also talk and explain about spirit guides briefly and how they can help you.
The important thing you need to do to really develop is open your minds to receive and PRACTICE!! it is not good for your development if the only time you practice is on the course.
Work, study, practice and also please relax and enjoy the course!

2022 British Open betting
Betting Planet > Golf betting > 2022 British Open betting
Played on some of the world's oldest and most famous links courses, the Open Championship offers a test of golf quite unlike any other. In 2022, we head to St Andrews on the east coast of Scotland for the 150th edition of the golf's oldest major tournament. Let's look at the latest British Open odds and find out which online bookmakers have the biggest range of golf betting markets for gamblers in United States.

How to bet on the Open Championship
There are dozens of different ways to bet on the Open Championship. Below are a few of the most popular markets on offer at licensed golf betting sites.
Who will win The Open and lift the coveted Claret Jug? That's the only thing you have to consider when taking outright odds on the Open Championship.
Place betting
If you fancy a player to perform well without necessarily winning the title, you can back him to finish in the top five, top 10, top 20, and so on.
Cut betting
After two rounds, players ranked outside the top 70 are eliminated from the tournament. You can back a player to make the cut and continue, or to miss it and drop out.
Group betting
Players are grouped into threesomes for the first two rounds of The Open, and then into pairs for the weekend rounds. Leading golf bookies run outright markets for every group in the field.
Head-to-head betting
Imagine if the British Open was a matchplay event with a field of only two players. That is the essence of head-to-head betting, where you pick one man to beat another over 72 holes.
Leader betting
Who will lead the tournament after the first round? How about the second or third? This is a popular market with shrewd punters who make the effort to research tee times, weather conditions and other such factors.
150th Open Championship – The Old Course at St Andrews
It is only fitting that the 150th staging of The Open should take place at the ancestral home of golf. With a legacy dating back to the 15th century, the Old Course at St Andrews is littered with signature quirks that are rarely seen in modern-day designs. From Hell Bunker, to the Road Hole, to the many enormous, undulating, multi-hole greens, this is a unique test of golf.
No.11 – High (In) – Par 3, 174 yards
Some have dubbed the 11th at St Andrews 'the shortest par-five in Scotland'. Anything short leaves a tricky recovery, while anything long will require some magic to stick a green that runs away. For good measure, the Strath and Hill bunkers that guard the green are among the deepest on the course.
No.14 – Long – Par 5, 618 yards
It's all in the name. Played from the tips, this is a super hole that asks a lot of questions. Out-of-bounds along the right tests the nerves off the tee, while the infamous Hell Bunker awaits those attempting to reach the green in two.
No.17 – Road – Par 4, 495 yards
Is this the most iconic hole in all of golf? The tee shot over the corner of the hotel, the devilish pot bunker at the front of the green, the eponymous road and the stone fence over the back – they just don't make holes like this anymore.

Multiple wins
Compared to the other majors, an unusually high number of players have won The Open on two or more occasions. The high mark belongs to Jersey legend Harry Vardon, who won it six times between 1896 and 1914.
Six – Harry Vardon
Five – J.H. Taylor, James Braid, Peter Thomson, Tom Watson
Four – Old Tom Morris, Young Tom Morris, Willie Park Sr., Walter Hagen, Bobby Locke
Three – Jamie Anderson, Bob Ferguson, Bobby Jones, Henry Cotton, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods
Two – Bob Martin, Harold Hilton, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Greg Norman, Padraig Harrington, Ernie Els
Consecutive titles
As the tournament was not played in 1871 due to lack of a trophy, Young Tom Morris's run of four titles from 1868 to 1872 counts as the longest winning streak in Open history. Padraig Harrington's wins in 2007 and '08 make him the most recent back-to-back champion.
Four – Young Tom Morris
Three – Jamie Anderson, Bob Ferguson, Peter Thomson
Two – Old Tom Morris, J.H. Taylor, Harry Vardon, James Braid, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Bobby Locke, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington
The first dozen Open Championships were held at Prestwick Golf Club in South Ayrshire, near Glasgow. The tournament was held exclusively in Scotland until 1894, when Royal St George's became the first English course to win hosting rights. The modern-day Open rota consists of 10 venues: five in Scotland, four in England and one in Northern Ireland.
Old Course at St Andrews – 29
Prestwick* – 24
Muirfield – 16
Royal St George's – 14
Royal Liverpool – 12
Royal Lytham & St Annes – 11
Royal Birkdale – 10

Recent British Open tournaments
149th Open Championship at Royal St George's Golf Club
Royal St George's was the first English course to host the Open Championship, way back in 1894, and is the only venue in southern Britain on the current rota. The 2020 British Open will be the 14th held at the Kentish links, which puts it fourth on the all-time list behind the Old Course (29), Prestwick (24) and Muirfield (16).
Sandwich, as the locals call it, is one of the toughest courses on the Open rota. With blind shots, penal rough and some of the deepest bunkers in the world, it is a nightmare when the wind gets up. It is also a venue where dark horses have prospered in recent times, with Darren Clarke storming to victory in 2011 and Ben Curtis coming from the clouds in 2003.
No.4 – Par 4, 496 yards – The blind drive over the infamous Himalaya bunker is one of the most iconic shots in all of golf. The hole does not get any easier from there, as a sprawling mess of a green poses all sorts of problems if you haven't taken the right line off the tee.
No.11 – Par 3, 242 yards
Boasting views of Pegwell Bay and the town of Ramsgate, the 11th is one of the postcard holes at Royal St George's. It is also the longest of the par-threes and requires canny club selection depending on the wind and the pin placement.
The final par-five at Sandwich is also the most treacherous. A semi-blind drive, out-of-bounds down the right, devilish bunkering and the famed Suez Canal hazard make for a potential round-wrecker for players who don't take their medicine and play it safe.
148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club
Royal Portrush last hosted the British Open in 1951, when England's Max Faulkner blitzed the field in soggy conditions to win his only major title. The club – and all of Northern Ireland – has had to wait 68 years for another chance to host golf's most prestigious event.
With the possible exception of Royal County Down's Championship 18, the Dunluce Links at Portrush is widely regarded as the finest golf course in Ireland. It is a true seaside links shaped by massive dunes, devilish rough and some of the very best greens in the world.
Already one of the country's most challenging courses, Portrush will play tougher than ever in 2019. After the R&A expressed concerns over the Dunluce's relatively mild finishing holes, the club decided to pinch some of the more dramatic land from the adjoining Valley Links to create brand-new holes at seven and eight. This bold move sees a few of the courses's most famous holes pushed deeper into the round for a thrilling run home.
No.5 – White Rocks – Par 4, 411 yards: This is the undisputed postcard hole on the Dunluce Links. A big dogleg to the right reveals a stunning approach to a long, tiered green that hangs above a rocky beach. This was one of the world's great bunkerless holes until traps were added in preparation for the 2019 Open.
No.15 – Skerries – Par 4, 418 yards: White Rocks might be the most photogenic hole at Portrush, but Skerries is probably an even better test from a sporting point of view. A trio of bunkers lie in wait for any drive that drifts to the right, while accuracy is key when hitting to a green protected by hummocks, swales and more sand.
No.16 – Calamity Corner – Par 3, 210 yards: This is the kind of hole you just don't see in modern-day designs. There was no need to dig out bunkers once Harry Colt decided to mow a putting surface on the edge of a dirty great chasm. Anything short or right from the tee is brown bread on this deadly uphill one-shotter.
147th Open Championship at Carnoustie Golf Links
Carnoustie first hosted the Open in 1931, when Scottish-American pioneer Tommy Armour claimed the last of his three major titles. It has since become a fixture of the tournament's illustrious rota, hosting again in 1937, 1953, 1968, 1975, 1999 and 2007. Jordan Spieth is the reigning champion after his dramatic win at Royal Birkdale last year.
Carnoustie's signature holes
Although the resort at Carnoustie is open to the general public, the Championship Course is not for any old hacker. It is widely considered the most difficult of all the Open courses, especially when the wind whips up off the North Sea. The back nine is littered with standout holes that can break even the best golfers in the world.
No.6 – Hogan's Alley – Par 5, 578 yards – Out of bounds on the left, bunkers towards the right and a prevailing headwind make the sixth at Carnoustie a daunting prospect from the tee. That proved no problem for the great Ben Hogan, whose superlative driving in the 1953 Open saw the hole renamed in his honour 50 years later.
No.16 – Barry Burn – Par 3, 248 yards – Is it a monster par-three, or is it a short par-four? The answer lies somewhere in between. A long, accurate iron shot is required to avoid the trouble at the front and hold a narrow green. If the pin is on the top tier, anything short leaves a hell of a scramble.
No.18 – Home – Par 4, 499 yards – Many a title bid has fallen to pieces at Carnoustie's infamous closing hole. It was the sand traps that did Johnny Miller in 1975, while a combination of gnarly rough, a troublesome grandstand and the Barry Burn saw Jean van de Velde blow a three-shot lead in 1999.

Top 5 Tours in Mexico City
By Cristina Alonso
© John Mitchell / Alamy
Visitors who come to Mexico City—and in fact, even locals—can get overwhelmed by the city's sheer size, by how much there is to do and how confusing the streets can get. "OK, so we should check out Xochimilco, which is on this end of town, and also hit the Chapultepec Zoo over there... and don't we want to eat at Colonia Roma?" Such stress! But fear not: this is where tours come in. Let the experts worry about routes and schedules, and just choose the kind of adventure you want to have. You can pick one or more of the Turibus's many routes, let the audioguides do the explaining and explore the areas at your own pace, or get physical and ride a bike along Chapultepec, downtown and Colonia Condesa. When booking tours, always make sure you do it with authorized companies and guides, to ensure your safety and to avoid getting overcharged. Also, remember guides are very appreciative of tips.
Turibus
Hop on and off this double-decker bus, and explore Mexico City's main areas as you please. There are eight different routes, such as Downtown (visit the Franz Mayer and the Anthropology museums) and Polanco/Hipódromo (check out the shops in Masaryk and the Children's Museum). Bonus: audioguides are available in six languages.
Mexico Bike Tour
Parque y Corredor Ecoturístico Los Dínamos
Though it's right in the city, this eco park feels like it's miles away from the chaos of it all. Guided activities include hiking along the paths, renting a horse or a four-wheel motorbike, and fishing for trout. Pro tip: Make sure to visit early, as the park doesn't have lighting and it can get confusing and slightly unsafe after dark.
Torre Latinoamericana
As one of the oldest and tallest buildings in town, "La Latino," as it's lovingly called by locals, offers awesome views of the city. The tour will take you along six floors filled with activities: from the museum on the 38th floor, to the observation roof on the 44th.
Coyoacán and Frida Kahlo Museum
This culture-packed tour along the city's Southern area will take you to the canals of Xochimilco, which you will sail aboard a traditional trajinera, a pre-Hispanic boat. Afterwards, explore the Frida Kahlo Museum, the National Autonomous University of Mexico's campus, and the cobblestone streets of Coyoacán, one of the most charming neighborhoods in the city.


Do you know a golfer who would love a special way to share their Hungarian heritage? These golf markers use actual Hungarian Forints, painted and coated with a strong magnetic attachment.
Also available in a larger coin with a crest design. Colors will vary.
The 1 Forint coin is the smaller of the two pictured here.


Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and pancakes are at the top of my breakfast food favorite list. Since pancakes are the ultimate vessel for butter and syrup I try to limit myself to having them once a week as a treat....hence Pancake Sunday!
Fruit and pancakes are pals and make a great thing that much better. I still have a few apples in winter storage so I thought some Apple Spice Pancakes were in order this morning.
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In separate bowl mix: eggs, milk, butter, and sugar. Combine two mixtures, plus pumpkin pie spice. Fold in chopped apples.
On a hot non stick skillet ladle pancake batter. It should take about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side for them to be done.
BTW...... Have ur shelling peas germinated yet? Planted yet?
Those pancakes are making me huuuuuuungry. Great post the other day about you predicament on what to label you crops as. That is a tough one to tackle. Its all about advertising. I think the guy who sprays his maters down with toxic gick should be the one filling out those mountains of paperwork explaining what he sprayed and why. Transitional org is good cause it is still flashy and gives u an opp to tell your unique story. Beyond org is my fav and what most folks in permaculture community loosely refer to their efforts as. Biodynamic is a little out there, but we could all stand to take at least half a step in their direction. Steiner had some awesome ideas. Its a hard decision to make, but whatever you decide to call your crops we will keep coming back for more. Salatin for president and Robson for VP!
Thank you! To mention me and Salatin in the same sentence...you give me way to much credit! Something to aspire to! Farmers that spray do actually have to keep detailed records of the spray activity and get audited by the DEP just to make sure they are doing so responsibly. I'm excited to take a portion of the farm in a new direction. It's a big change but it's exciting. And about the peas...we direct seed them in the field. Half of the potatoes are here and the rhubarb is on the way so hopefully we'll be getting in the field soon!


On Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, signaling six more weeks of winter. Given the likely bad weather, these six weeks of "down time" are the perfect opportunity for construction professionals to develop, review, and implement their companies' emergency response plan.
The United States Department of Labor reports that in 2016, 21.1% of all fatal accidents in the workplace were reported in the construction industry. With the passage of the road bond amendment, and the expected increase in heavy construction in West Virginia in the coming years, workplace incidents are apt to increase. Time is of the essence to put into place – and to test -- an emergency response plan to protect your workforce, as well as your bottom line.
The primary goal of a well-constructed emergency response plan is to provide a detailed roadmap to help a company navigate the immediate aftermath of a crisis occurring when someone is injured or dies on a jobsite. Thereafter, the secondary goal of an emergency response plan is to reduce the interruption of business operations by allowing a construction company to resume operations promptly once the crisis has been resolved.
Incident assessment - What happened? Does the incident rise to the level of an emergency sufficient to trigger the response plan? If so, how will you document it?
Work stoppage scenarios - How can employees exercise "stop work" authority? How will the company document work stoppages? Have employees received "stop work" authority training? Following an incident involving use of the emergency response plan, who will communicate when work can resume?
Responsibility and authority designation - Who takes charge when an incident occurs? Who has authority to make decisions for the company?
Communication responsibility and delivery protocols - Who will notify authorities and/or government agencies, if required? How will employees or their family members be notified concerning an incident? Should you take pictures following an incident; if so, are there things that should not be photographed? When will the company consider contacting a lawyer for assistance? How, and under what circumstances, will the company communicate with the media, or the public? Are employees permitted to comment regarding incidents, or to make posts about them on social media? Have employees been trained regarding appropriate communications and limitations?
Response checklist – Is there an easily accessible, written list of persons/agencies to call in case of an emergency, including names, phone numbers, and back-up means of communication? Can employees find and quickly use the checklist when needed? Has the company recently tested its response plan and reviewed its checklist to see if changes are needed?
Waiting until you experience an incident is too late to develop an effective emergency response plan. We welcome the opportunity to help you through a crisis, but we hope that careful planning can improve the likelihood that you will be well-prepared when disaster strikes. Let us help you hope for the best, but plan for the worst. If you have not formulated a plan, or if your plan needs review and testing, Steptoe & Johnson is here to help. Contact us for a free assessment of your emergency response planning needs.

"Announced today in Korea Motorola StarTac III comes with 2 inch 240×320 px, 260K TFT QVGA screen, 128 MB of built-in memory, MP3 player, GPS, Mobile banking, Korean-English dictionary, e-book reader and biorhythm function.Motorola MS900 has dimensions of 89×48.5×19.6 mm, weights 92g, has 160 minutes of talk and up to 300 hours of standby time.However, it seems that Motorola may have gone too retro with StarTac III. First – they did not include camera in otherwise really cool package. Second, there's no external screen to show the incoming call number, only 3 color LED line to indicate the type of incoming call.It took about a decade for Motorola to repeat the success of original StarTac with RAZR. Let's see how the new StarTaCIII will do." via unwiredview.com
Linux phone features Treo style keyboard
" A startup in Penang, Malaysia is readying a Linux-based dual-mode WiFi GSM/GPRS phone expected to ship in Q2. Gupp Technologies's "Phreedom" phone boasts a Treo-style QWERTY keyboard, a 2.5-inch QVGA color screen, and VoWiFi (voice-over-WiFi) capabilities based on the SIP standard. Gupp says the Phreedom targets "consumers and cost-conscious businesses," which can reduce roaming costs by using VoWiFi when possible, with GSM/GPRS used as a backup. Additionally, the phone offers smartphone features such as Internet browsing, music downloads, and email.
Along with a QWERTY hardware keyboard, the Phreedom has a landscape-mode 2.5-inch QVGA (320×240) LCD display with 265K colors. Connectivity options include an 802.11b/g WiFi radio with WEP, WPA, and 802.11i support, and a "double tri-band" GSM radio apparently supporting 850/1800/1900 MHz and 900/1800/1900 MHz.Additional touted Phreedom features and specs include:
PXA270 processor clocked at 312MHz
Boots from NOR Flash
Combined 320MB flash and SDRAM
2200mAh lithium ion battery
Claimed five hours of talk time in WiFi mode
Claimed 144 hours standby time
4.4 x 2.6 x 0.75 inches (112 x 65 x 19mm)
4.6 ounces (130gm)
Mobile Linux 2.6 kernel
A La Mobile announced last fall that Gupp had licensed its stack for a Linux smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard "similar to the Palm Treo," A La Mobile CEO Pauline Lo Alker said at the time. The phone was also expected to use a VoIP stack from Hellosoft. Blogger Jeff Pulver, of Pulver.com, stated, "The convergence of VoIP and mobile has been a long time coming and while many barriers still remain, innovative organizations like GUPP are paving the way towards the development and availability of true dual-mode phones." via linuxdevices.com
Review of GSM/UMTS handset Motorola Z6
"Putting Motorola RIZR and the Z6 side be side you'll see that they are actually twins. As for the design there are no differences at all, only the rim of functional and numeric keys has changed a bit and metallic surface of the Z6 is chrome-coated, rather than soft touch found on previous model. As if in an effort to emphasize the fact that shell is made of metal the company releases only one trim at the beginning, but more color schemes are to come, generally it will strongly depend on sales and popularity of the handset. For the time being the device comes in black as well. Such color causes certain associations, with the fashion-charged Nokia 8800, for example. It is strange, but looking at the photos one could barely notice a slightest similarity between them or even consider them as comparable. But in reality, a good half of fashionable people tended to compare this handset with Nokia 8800. At that, Nokia not always came out on top." Read more about this nice phone here:
More Slimmest Mobile LCD Screen Announced
"Samsung has developed the thinnest reported LCD panel, one no thicker than a credit card at 0.74mm.Just three months back, the slimmest LCD screen at 0.82 mm was officially announced by Samsung. It is now become slimmer again at 0.74 mm now. With all the slimmest phone offered by Samsung, we have no doubt in Samsung capability.The company has developed a new mobile technology, which it is calling, "i-Lens", for integrating the entire panel assembly, including a protective layer, into a single, thinner module that will be more shock-resistant and easier to read than conventional panels." via slashphone.com

Cairo: Egypt's interim President Adly Mansour today held talks with the army chief and interior minister to discuss ways to ensure security amid violent clashes between supporters and opponents of deposed President Mohammed Morsi that claimed at least 36 lives.
Mansour, who was sworn into office on Thursday, met with army chief and Defence Minister General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi as well as Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police, at the Ittihadiya presidential palace.
He also met with his new aides — constitutional consultant Judge Aly Awad Saleh, political consultant Mustafa Hegazy, and security consultant General Rafaat Shehata.
According to a presidential source, the meetings focused on ways to secure protests and ensure national security.
The source said that Adly focused his discussion with constitutional and political aides on a new constitutional declaration that will be announced soon. The declaration will provide details on how the upcoming transitional period will be managed.
Adly will also meet with representatives of different political forces and members of the Rebel movement.
Meanwhile, a tense calm has descended on Egypt following a night of fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of Morsi.
Tens of thousands of angry supporters of 61-year-old ousted president, chanting slogans like "down with military rule", took to the streets after Friday prayers demanding his reinstatement.
At least 36 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the violence.
In the capital, the protesters holding images of Morsi marched towards the Republican Guards Club, where Morsi is believed to have been put "under guard" since Wednesday night.
Despite warning from soldiers, the crowd tried to storm the Guards headquarters, prompting the soldiers to open fire – first into the air, then at the demonstrators, killing four demonstrators and wounding dozens, local media reported.
In running street battles in Cairo, more people were dead, including two at iconic Tahrir Sqaure, and scores of others injured, reports said.
The worst hit was coastal city of Alexandria, the second largest city in Egypt, where street fighting and clashes left 12 people dead, mostly from gunshot wounds.
Meanwhile, Brotherhood-led National Alliance in Support of Electoral Legitimacy today vowed more protests in support of the deposed president.


Schematic view of the kitchen area in Floor Plan North. *schematic only, final elevations, fixtures, finishes, and design subject to change.
A: We are still working on final pricing. This is largely dependent on zoning, the results from the civil engineer, city of Portland requirements for planned developments, final design of the homes/shared spaces, etc. Currently we are are expecting the price ranges to be between $675K to $750K dependent upon location within the community, duplex vs. single unit, etc.
Q: What will the homes look like? Will they be differentiated from one another?
A: We have basic elevations, and will have two different floor plans. We do know that the homes will be 1.5 story homes with a 13/12 gabled roof. We are still working on details such as siding choices, shading elements, roofing types, colors, overhangs, entrances, etc. It is our intention to differentiate the homes from one another through the choices mentioned above, but also through landscaping, trees, and fencing around each unit.
Q: Will I have my own private area?
A: Yes. Each home has been situated to include a private fenced in area. A number of the units have spaces backing up to the site boundary or Going St. that will have their own front or back yards. Please see the site plan under the 'Availability' tab on this site to see specific areas allotted to each unit. You will be free to install decks, patios, or otherwise customize these spaces as one sees fit after move in day.
Q: Is there a waiting list? Where can I sign up as an interested party?
A: There is currently a 'Reservation Agreement' available that will reserve your spot in the community. It requires a $1,500 fully refundable downpayment that will be used towards the cost of the unit should one elect to sign a purchase and sale agreement (available as soon as the land use approvals and building permits are granted). We will contact people in the order of which your call/email was received. We currently have a number of interested parties, but there are still single family and duplex units available.
Q: Are there any investment opportunities?
A: Yes. There are still opportunities for a return on investment, please contact us for details.
Q: How much are the HOA fees?
A: This will be determined prior to occupancy; so exact pricing isn't available at this time. We expect it to be in the $125-$200 per month range.
Q: What other continuing fees will there be? How much are they?
A: There will be property taxes, homeowner's insurance, water bills, and a utility minimum fee. Pretty typical of any home in our area. Estimated property taxes are in the $6,000 to $8000 per year range. There is a utility minimum fee that is unavoidable that runs in the $20/month range. The homes will have deduct meters for the water, with a main water meter at the street. Each unit will pay its portion of the monthly water bill. Please contact your insurance agent to ask what they estimate the homeowner's insurance to be.
Q: When will the homes be ready to move into?
Q: What is Passive House?
A: Passive House is the world's leading standard for energy efficient construction. It combines building enclosure efficiency and passive solar strategies in a system for designing and building cost effective, comfortable, energy efficient buildings. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in projects in every climate zone around the world, ranging from single family homes to very large commercial and institutional structures. More than 50,000 examples have been completed worldwide.
Q: Does each unit have it's own garden plot?
A: Yes. The exact size and location is yet TBD.
A: Yes. In the community bylaws there will be rules and regulations that will be determined by the community in regards to respectful and safe pet ownership.
Q: Can I choose my own finishes?
A: We will be offering upgrade packages for items such as plumbing fixtures, flooring, cabinets, and electrical fixtures. There won't be any exceptions for custom or one off finishes or fixtures. These can always be added after one is moved in.
Q: What are the community rules?
A: We haven't yet started in on creating the CCR's that will govern the community. It is our hope to keep them 'light' in order to meet state requirements, but to let the community decide amongst themselves after the units are sold if they care to amend them in any way.
