This Spring when I was telling friends and clients that I would be traveling to The Azores for our family Summer vacation, most people looked at me with a Blank Stare or asked "What is The Azores". So let's start with The Basics! The Azore Islands are an autonomous region of Portugal and an archipelago of 9 islands in the Middle of The Atlantic Ocean. Throughout the 9 Islands you will find a tremendous variety of natural beauty and cultural experiences. The average temperature ranges from mid 60 to 70 degrees throughout the year, but the weather changes drastically daily both during the winter and summer months. Most importantly, these Islands provide gorgeous scenery, fun activities and European culture without the CROWDS. BONUS: it is only 4 to 5 hour direct flight from the U.S. However the Secret is OUT and you should be contacting your favorite travel consultant NOW to book your Azore vacation!
Most Azore Vacations start on the largest Island, Sao Miguel where the majority of international flights fly into the town and airport of Ponta Delgada. You can reach all other Islands and Mainland Portugal through Ponta Delgada. Depending on your vacation desires, you can easily visit two or three Islands in a week long itinerary. If you don't have enough time or are looking for slow paced travel, Sao Miguel has enough to offer as a destination itself.
Take a Look at this adventure family's favorite places in Sao Miguel.
Sete Cidades: The Volcanic Crater of Sete Cidades is the biggest attraction on Sao Miguel. The area consists of two lakes side by side, one green and one blue, appropriately named Lagoa Verde and Lagoa Azul and a charming village nestled in the valley. You can spend a full day exploring the area. It is convenient and cost efficient to set up a tour guide to take you to all the gorgeous sites while visiting the Western Side of the Island. You can drive yourselves but hiring a driver saves you lots of time turning around, pulling out maps and trying to park. Not to mention, some of these breathtaking views would be appreciated a little more with a glass of wine! No matter which way you visit, you will want to take in the views at Miradouro da Vista do Rei. There is an abandoned hotel here, you can climb to the top and get the best views on the Island. The spectacular walking path at Miradouro da Grota do Inferno is not to be missed and you can make this hike however short or long you would like it.
Once have taken in the views, it is time to descend into the Caldera and enjoy the Lakes. Lagoa de Azul is the larger of the two and where you will find your basic water activities such as Kayaking and paddle boarding. There is also a small beach for swimming, park areas for playing and a restaurant. The nearby town of Sete Cidades also has some quaint restaurants with lots of local flavors.
The Beaches and Coastline:
The Island of Sao Miguel has a rugged and gorgeous coastline. I recommend seeing some of that coastline from above and visiting some of the beaches nestled within. There are several great beaches all over the island, which one you visit ultimately depends on where you are staying on the Island. Two of my favorites are Praia Santa Barbara and Praia Vinha D'Areia. The water is typically a bit frigid but there are warmer beaches in some of the neighboring Azore Islands.
Whale Watching:
The Azores is one of the world's top whale watching destinations, with 28 different species of whales and dolphins have been sighted off the shores. Different species travel through The Azores at different times of the year, but Sperm Whales and a variety of Dolphin species stay for a significant portion of Spring and Summer. The majority of boats head out from Ponta Delgada but we loved our experience with the amazing company, Terra Azul out of Vila Franca do Campo. I like Terra Azul because their practices always have the best interest of the whales in mind and they really do follow their rules of sustainability and responsibility to the sea life. Whichever company you prefer, I definitely recommend going out on a small RIB boat rather than one of the larger whaling boats. It makes for far more exciting experience. if you are traveling with children who are good swimmers, Many of the companies also offer swimming with the dolphins in the wild. What an incredible experience!
Ilheu da Vila Franca do Campo:
This Islet is the result of an ancient submerged volcano. The Islet is now a nature reserve and is only accessible by a short 10 minute boat ride from the Marina in Vila Franca do Campo. The ferry leaves every hour, but they only sell 400 tickets per day. There are no facilities on the Islet except one public restroom, everything you bring to the Islet must be taken away. You can snorkel, swim in the warm waters, and explore the cliffs. Once a year Red Bull hosts a cliff diving competition here which is extremely impressive to imagine. When you have had enough of this little tropical paradise, you take the next ferry leaving back to the mainland every hour.
Hot Springs:
There are hot springs throughout the Island. Your best options for swimming in the Hot Springs are in Furnas and Caldeira Velha. The hotsprings in Furnas are located with the lovely little town of at the bottom of Furnas Valley. The whole area is worth a full or half day tour. Be sure to visit Terra Nostra, you can swim in the thermal swimming pool set in The Natural Botanical Gardens, there is a restaurant and spa on the Grounds. You can visit for the day for a relaxing experience or spend the night in the lovely Terra Nostra Garden Hotel.
For a more jungle experience, visit Caldeira Velha located near the breathtaking Lagoa do Fogo to swim under a warm waterfall located in the picturesque fern covered swimming hole. It is the perfect hot spring experience.
The Island of Sao Miguel truly is a perfect getaway for anyone who loves nature, wants to relax or is looking for true adventure, dislikes crowds and is interested in Portugese culture. Did I mention the fresh food and Wine! If this sounds appealing to you, Be sure to contact us to plan the perfect itinerary for you in The Azores.

Human rights organization worked on her release for more than 20 years
Washington, DC: Amnesty International welcomes the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, an Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, from house arrest in Myanmar.
Daw Suu Kyi co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), a pro-democracy political party that sought to counter the military junta that has ruled Myanmar since 1962. For nearly 15 of the past 21 years, Daw Suu Kyi has endured unofficial detention, house arrest and restrictions on her movement.
"The release of Daw Suu Kyi is beyond overdue," said Larry Cox, AmnestyInternational USA executive director. "Amnesty International members and other activists around the world tirelessly worked for her release for many years and welcome this news. However, many others still languish in Myanmar's jails for merely expressing their views and must be released immediately."
In 1990, the NLD won 80 percent of the parliamentary seats in a general election. Surprised at the landslide victory, the military junta refused to transfer power to Daw Suu Kyi and the NLD and jailed scores of political activists.
Currently 2,200 political prisoners are still in prison, most of them for exercising their right to freedom of expression, assembly and association.
In the United States, Amnesty International USA members and other activists' efforts to free Daw Suu Kyi included more than 67,000 pleas to U.S. and global leaders urging them to push Myanmar authorities, more than 11,000 petition signatures and thousands of letters urging the Myanmar authorities to release her and approximately 2,200 other political prisoners currently detained.
Hundreds of activists have rallied in front of the United Nations headquarters and Myanmar Permanent Mission in New York calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Daw Suu Kyi and all prisoners of conscience in Myanmar. More than 1600 activists have participated in the Stand with Suu Kyi photo action to support human rights in Myanmar.
"I worked on behalf of Suu Kyi for nearly 20 years, and this news is more than welcomed," said Jim Roberts, Amnesty International USA Myanmar country specialist. "Now that she has been released, Amnesty International calls on the Myanmar government to allow her to freely exercise her right to the freedoms of expression and association."
Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 2.8 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied.

Patagonia's former consumer marketing leads offers his take that it is a business' job – and therefore our job – to use design and marketing to help the consumer invoke meaningful change in our world. We, as business leaders, are responsible for starting the process and then must take note of what is responded to by the end customer to chart the path. There's also a strong bottom-line case and framework in the book worth understanding.
Who Should Read It: Every marketing leader should and company builders committed to building businesses that make the world a better place.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Any "sustainability" effort must first begin with the sustainability of the business and its leaders.
"By understanding the journey your best customers take to become your best customers you can remove the guesswork from your creative. You can understand exactly the messages that resonate the most, the experiences your advocates have had that matter most, the product attributes they value most, and the most important reason they support your brand. If you truly know this in advance of developing your communications campaign and designing your customer's experience, you can effectively tell the story that will move your customers to understanding rather than just trying to get them to do what you want.
"The path to long-term, sustainable loyalty is based on an unspoken agreement: You believe what I believe and I believe what you believe. Now we can do business from a place of trust and inspiration."
"The effort to craft the communications and the experience is a holistic undertaking, architect gin the brand's core values into the landscape of every touch point of branding, marketing, product, and service. Similar to a blueprint for a home, it's the beginning of everything."
Craig presents a model for growth that involves a focus on migrating users through a cycle from Prospects to Casuals (first brand experience), to Loyalists (Ongoing partnership), to Cheerleaders (sharing Evolution through word of mouth). The idea being that each level is both an increase in relationship and revenue.
In this model, our core job is architecting a brand experience that connects our clients more deeply to their values. Doing so not only drives loyalty, but is the design imperative to remedy our world's problems locally and globally. Most sales, marketing, and customer experiences have been built atop shadow values – "This will help me belong", "This helps me numb my feelings", "This will give me more power"
Patagonia and other soul-oriented brands tap into a deeper source of wisdom and want; a want for a better world.
Through a spiral dynamics lens, you can see most marketing efforts as orange (achievement), some green. Then the book becomes a guide on how marketing efforts might move into the "being" memes by connecting with an individuals values.
The magic bullet is to improve the rate of migration from one stage to the next by providing the correct customer experience at each milestone. Begin by diagnosing what first time buyers are missing in experience, communication, or belief that is required to motivate them to the next stage and next purchase.
To compete your brand must win the hearts and minds of your target audience and your brand must continue to win the hearts and minds of your existing customers. If your brand can't connect meaningfully enough and uniquely engage prospects , casuals, and loyalists such that they are migrating to the next segment, ultimately your brand will not create enough cheerleaders fast enough to viably sustain your organization.
Understanding the logic and how to manage the migration your prospects to become cheerleaders should be the focal point of everything you do.
It's imperative your brand's story is clear and well executed with content, community, and commerce based on general brand values and beliefs. However, avoid the pitfalls of communicating en masse with your constituency. Instead consider the granular aspects of your customers experience based on the tenure with you.
Doing this allows you to enact a tracking and measurement system that accurately predicts the following: how long it takes to create that cheerleader how much they will spend along the way, how many cheerleaders you can create over a given period of time, and how much that group as a collective whole will contribute in profit at some point in the future.
Being customer centric is a mistake. Instead be your own essence-centric. Create a strategy that reflects your core purpose, beliefs, and values and put that at the center of your business. Then integrate this in its entirety and every aspect of the value chain, communicating your purpose clearly to your customers to explain to them why they should care, why they should buy, and ultimately why they should become your cheerleader – telling others about your brand.
Only once you've clearly acknowledge and committed to a core reason for being then you can define the stories and artifacts that matter to you and will serve as the touch points for your customers.
Why This Matters for Our World
There's a disconnect between a vision for the world as a peaceful, sustainable biosphere and our ability to realize that vision is a global society, and as global citizens. Harboring this model we see that if we truly understand what makes users and providers tick in every circumstance, then we can design a functioning economy that won't kill us. It's up to us as global citizens to drive the right kind of demand.

Iris has always occupied a special place through civilizations. Considered sacred by the Egyptians, or likened to Greek deities, it is often associated with the rainbow for its iridescent reflections and fascinating natural hues.
From France, China, Italy and Morocco, this flower is very popular and widely used in perfumery, often combined with floral, rose, jasmine or violet notes.
t is Catherine de Medici who makes it popular in the sixteenth century, especially by wearing gloves scented with flowers of Grasse.
Also a symbol of royalty since the Renaissance, the iris flower is one of the most expensive raw materials because it must be dried for three years before distilling. It is therefore a note reserved for prestigious perfumeries, found in colognes, as feminine as masculine.
Today, we find the iris chord in fragrances such as Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue, Chanel N ° 19, Hiris d'Hermès, Double Dare by Guess or Caron's Fleur de Rocaille…
The opinion of the expert
In the perfumer's organ, it is placed in base note thanks to its powerful scent. The scent of the iris is as mystical as it is captivating: its white note, almost musky with green or dried fruit facets makes it unique.
Noble matter and again very popular nowadays, the iris is a delicate flower with powdery facets, floral and slightly woody, both powerful and refined.

This data has been updated. Visit Fiscal 50 for latest data.
The share of states' revenue made up by federal dollars rose in fiscal year 2016 for the third year in a row, largely because of growth in Medicaid grants to states. The federal government provided 32.6 percent of 50-state revenue in fiscal 2016—the third-largest share on record—up from 31.9 percent in fiscal 2015.
A majority of states—30—saw gains in federal dollars as a share of state revenue in fiscal 2016. Health care grants have been the main driver of increases in federal funding to states in recent years, with Medicaid alone accounting for two-thirds of federal grants to states. In addition to federal funds, states receive income from taxes and other sources, such as public university tuition, tolls, and lottery receipts.
Federal grants to states rose 5.3 percent in fiscal 2016, outpacing overall revenue growth of 3 percent. The $31 billion increase in federal funds boosted the share of state revenue coming from the U.S. government to its third-highest level since at least 1961, the first year of comparable data for all 50 states. The only two larger shares occurred right after the Great Recession, when a temporary influx of U.S. economic stimulus dollars and falling state tax revenue led to the federal share of states' revenue reaching 35.5 percent in fiscal 2010 and 34.7 percent in fiscal 2011. The share in fiscal 2016 captured the enhanced federal support states received for expanding Medicaid health coverage eligibility under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as well as other growth in the health care program.
Federal funds for the Medicaid expansion became available as of Jan. 1, 2014, and under the Medicaid provisions in the ACA, the federal government reimbursed states for all costs to extend health coverage to newly eligible low-income adults through calendar 2016, with its portion gradually dropping to 90 percent by calendar 2020. In fiscal 2016, three states—Indiana, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania—received their first full year of grants, Alaska and Montana started midway through the year, and 25 states received their second full year of expanded Medicaid grants. Nationally, enrollment in Medicaid increased 3.8 percent over the previous year.
The fiscal 2016 share was 2.7 percentage points higher than the 20-year average of 29.9 percent and more than 7 points greater than the previous 20-year average of 25.0 percent from 1977 to 1996, based on rounded data.
The federal share of state revenue reflects how much funding states receive from the federal government to help pay for public services such as health care, education and training, transportation, and other infrastructure. (See "Federal Spending Decisions Affect State Budgets.") The indicator measures the combined effects of swings in state and federal funds. Changes in either revenue source affect the ratio of federal to total dollars. A higher or lower percentage does not necessarily indicate a problem for state budgets. Understanding the differences among states can help policymakers make more informed decisions when debating changes to federal funding.
Federal shares vary across the country. Fiscal 2016 data show:
Federal dollars remained the second-largest source of states' revenue in fiscal 2016, accounting for about $622 billion, or about a third of the $1.91 trillion collected by state governments. Tax collections are states' leading revenue generator and reached $923 billion in fiscal 2016, up from $912 billion in fiscal 2015.

Can someone tell me what the basic ingredients for muesli are? I know that probably sounds a bit dim but muesli is one of those things I've always liked the idea of but rarely find one that doesn't have something in I don't like, I'm not big on nuts and seeds really.
Dh has recently started having muesli and yoghurt for breakfast and I've been pinching some too. Aldi and Tesco both do quite a nice red berries one without any things in we don't like but I've been wondering if we could make our own any cheaper than buying a box.
I'm thinking if I made my own it'd probably have oats and dried fruit in but do I need to add anything else sort of oaty? And do I do anything to the oats or just chuck them straight from bag into mixing bowl? Do I need special oats or just porridge oats? One recipe I read said jumbo oats, I'm guessing porridge oats are fairly normal sized oats not jumbo sized, am I right?
Eagerly awaiting your scrummy ideas.

The main pool at the facility re-opened to the public at the start of June, having been temporarily closed since November 2018 due to the discovery of a problem with the base screed layer.
After a similar problem was also found in the teaching pool, the Council made the decision to bring forward investment in a new movable floor, which would have been due for renewal in two years, avoiding an extended closure in the future.
That has now been installed and all other repairs have been completed, allowing final preparations to begin for the return of customers to the teaching pool and the baby pool. The water features in the baby pool have also been replaced with a new bright and colourful installation designed to help younger children gain confidence in the water.
After the popularity of the FREE public swimming to mark the re-opening of the main pool, there will be another FREE swim fun weekend at the start of the next month (Saturday 3rd to Sunday 4 August) to celebrate all the pools being back in action.
The free swim fun sessions will include lane swimming, public swimming, ALL IN members, friends and family sessions and pool inflatable fun sessions. More details of the free swim weekend can be found at The PEAK website
A new swim timetable for all pools from Monday 22 July is now also available online.
Patience and understanding
Andrew Bain, Chief Executive at Active Stirling said "We are delighted to finally be able to have all three pools back open at The PEAK and would like to thank all our customers, members, partners, employees and the Stirling communities for their patience and understanding during what a very difficult time operationally.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone back next Monday as well as to the free fun swim weekend planned for early August."
Councillor Chris Kane, Convener of the Community Planning and Regeneration Committee, which oversees Sport and Physical Activity as well as the partnership with Active Stirling, said: "Once again, I would like to thank all The PEAK customers for their patience and understanding during this period of unforeseen disruption, and also commend the tireless efforts of Council and Active Stirling staff for completing this challenging work as quickly possible.
"The free swim sessions to mark the opening of the main pool created a real splash, so I am pleased that another event in the first weekend in August is taking place for all customers as another gesture of thanks to users and to signal that this fantastic community facility is fully back open for business."

Health, Play, Zoomer Report
Springtime means many of us will be getting back on our bikes for exercise and transportation. It also means both cyclists and motorists must relearn how to share the road. Many drivers have fallen out of the habit of looking for cyclists at intersections and stop signs, so if you're on two wheels, proceed with caution.
Then, of course, there's the shape of the roads at this time of year. Huge potholes and a buildup of sand, dirt and debris along the side of the road, can turn a leisurely cycle into a dangerous obstacle course.
Experts suggest checking out your favourite route by car before heading out on the bike. Lots of bike paths and rural roads might still be snow- and ice-covered, so don't assume just because your street is clear that the snow has melted everywhere.
If you're hauling your bike out of the garage for the first time, give it a quick tune-up to make sure it's road worthy.
When you do get on the bike, rein in that early season eagerness to prove you haven't lost anything over the winter months. Limit your mileage and don't push too high a gear. Go easy, and all you'll feel the next morning are a few muscles you haven't worked in a while. Go too hard and don't be surprised if you're seriously stiff, even if you've been working out all winter. Riding on the road is very different from riding indoors, so don't be fooled into thinking that spinning can replace the real thing.

In 1930, the average American woman owned a total of nine outfits. Today, that number has more than tripled, with the average woman now owning thirty outfits. That's one for each day of the month. All of these extra clothing pieces can end up causing a cluttered and stressful closet, not to mention the hassle of picking out what to wear. The solution? A capsule wardrobe.
Top Tips For Creating Your Capsule Wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe consists of a few specific staple pieces that you can wear with anything. It might be a smaller selection, but each piece has more uses, meaning less clutter and stress for you. Here are three tips for starting your own capsule wardrobe.
- The Staples You'll Need: A good capsule wardrobe has clothing items for different types of weather and seasons, so you won't need to go shopping any time the temperature changes. Some basics you'll want to have include a couple t-shirts, a tank top, a long-sleeve shirt, a dress, a jacket, a blazer, jeans, pants, shorts, a skirt, and a couple pairs of shoes. Of course, this is just a basic list; customize it to meet your lifestyle needs and personal tastes.
- Know Your Style: When slimming down your current closet into a capsule wardrobe, make sure you've got a strong sense of what clothes you are and aren't currently wearing. If you have a skirt that's sat in your drawers for a few months, that might not be the item to keep. Look at what you wear frequently, and base your wardrobe around that. Besides, if you like the wardrobe you put together, you'll be less tempted to buy impulse clothing next time you go shopping.
- Go With What You Own: When creating a capsule wardrobe, avoid purchasing new items when you can. If you do have to purchase new pieces to complete your look, make sure that you're basing your purchases on what you already own. This will help cut down on clutter in your wardrobe, while also saving you money.
Capsule wardrobes can help you cut down on clutter and stress, while also keeping you looking stylish. What will your capsule wardrobe end up looking like?

I formally announce this to be YERTweek™ here on the burrito. Not only does the docu-comedy YERT provide an interesting take on energy trends and sustainability, but it has also prompted me to delve into some of its key themes such as wind power and smart grids (which I will take a closer look at in the coming weeks). As for this post, it serves up chips and salsa with YERT producer / director Ben Evans, with Tamales and Tacos to come later in the week. But first and foremost, here is a brief synopsis of the film:
50 States. 1 Year. Zero Garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three friends hit the road – packing hope, humor. . .and all of their trash – searching for innovators and citizens solving humanity's greatest environmental crises. Piling on personal challenges as they explore every state in a year (the good, the bad, and the weird), an unexpected turn of events pushes the team to the brink in this award-winning docu-comedy.
Please watch the trailer here. It will give you a quick insight into how truly humorous and moving this film is. After seeing the film, I was compelled to contact producer / director Ben Evans (he's the one in the film trailer being pulled through the mud), to give some further insight into what he experienced on his year-long journey. Enjoy:
Who came up with the name YERT, and what were the other contenders?
Mark and I had been brainstorming over the phone for a while on different names and nothing was quite sticking. Then he called me one night and suggested the name YERT. We talked it over and loved it – it was short, memorable, fun to say, a great acronym, and had the added advantage of being an intentional misspelling of an actual word. Nothing else was even close.
You drove across 50 states in a year. Wowee. How many miles was that in total, and has it put you off road trips for life?
We racked up about 43,000 miles total – 3 people and all their gear, supplies, and garbage in a hybrid, I might add. Still, it's more driving than I would have liked. It's certainly given me pause about heading out on any more. In fact, I'm working on ditching my car and planes altogether by the end of the year. We'll see what happens. Of course, that doesn't mean no more travel – just means it will be a bit more of an adventure, which is great.
If there was an environmental super hero, what would their name be?
We met a few real ones on the trip: Eco-Elvis, Earthman, and Captain Crud – each with their own outrageous "superhero" outfit. As for a real life environmental super hero – it doesn't get much better than West Virginia's Larry Gibson. Though barely 5 ft. tall, Larry is a true giant among men, leading the fight against the ravages of Mountaintop Removal coal mining (MTR) while coal company thugs blow up his family cemetery, threaten his life, kill his dogs, burn down his cabin, and shoot up his homestead.
Have you had any / many hostile reactions to the movie?
None that I know about – which is to be expected, I guess. So far as I can tell, it's been very well received – lots of laughter, tears, standing ovations, and – most importantly – stories of audience members making changes in their own lives afterwards. So I'll take that as a good sign. Still, once the film reaches a wider audience, I imagine there'll be some "haters" out there at some point. We wouldn't really be pushing any boundaries if there weren't.
So you graduated from Stanford University in Science, Technology and Society, became an actor for 10 years, and then became an environmentalist. What's next?
Not sure, to be honest. Finding a way to thrive in the uncertainty of the coming decade – I'd take that. I'm continuing to do independent documentary filmmaking locally for environmental groups and initiatives and hope to build that into a full-time career – there are some really interesting stories locally that are dying to be told in a creative way. There's talk of a YERT TV show – the project is ideally tailored for that medium, so we'll have to see if that ever materializes.
Mostly, I'm just trying to make sure all of the hard work of the last 5 years with YERT finds its way into the world through the film, and if we can recoup some of the blood, sweat, and treasure we've sunk into it along the way that would be great. Hopefully YERT can go from a full-time gig that doesn't really pay to a full-time gig that actually pays a living wage. That's the goal.
The other goal is to create a life that is as self-sufficient and as bill-free as possible. That means growing much of my own food, being transportation independent and car-free, and creating a life built around local community and relationships rather than the acquisition of stuff.
To be continued….

I recently celebrated a birthday. Not one of THOSE birthdays. I am over 50, which I'm proud to have celebrated. You see, when I was much, much younger, it was recommended I have a lump biopsy. Thus began my "benign" dance with life. Even though I have never had a diagnosis of cancer, a biopsy is still surgery. It can throw a wrench in your schedule! And bring your dreams and hopes and aspirations into sharp focus: "someday" becomes "next year" and "after I finish" becomes "whenever I can". I've been very lucky. I finished school, got married, raised 2 children, worked in several career fields, and generally enjoyed life.
So, what's in the bucket list? I emptied that a long, long time ago! I decided a bucket list is for those who have not been focused in their goals. I've been very happy with my goals, adjusted them often, and accomplished what was really important. I think. Well, I did lose that folder of papers last month. Perhaps I should find it today. I think it was under that stack……….wait a minute…..is this important?? Well, yes….sigh!

Epiphany Farms Hospitality Group is reaching goals in year 7 of its 10 year business plan. During an on-location edition of Sound Ideas at Epiphany on Main, co-owner, founder, chef and farmer Stu Hummel said there was never any question of failure when the farm to fork enterprise was started.
"It wasn't ever an option, there was so much as stake," said Hummel. "Whatever it takes, we're going to make it happen."
Hummel said while a high percentage of new restaurants fail, Epiphany's restaurants won't be part of the statistic. Hummel, along with co-owner, founder, and chef Ken Myzska and wife Nanam, also a co-owner and founder, have a created a two restaurant, two farm mini-empire from the ground up. On Thursday, the group opens its newest venture, the Old Bank Restaurant and Bar in LeRoy. The group also recently opened a new bakery-event space, Epiphany on Main at 513 N. Main in Downtown Bloomington.
All of the restaurants are supplied with food grown or raised at the hospitality group's farms and depending upon the season patrons can expect dishes that are comprised of food nearly all harvested locally.
"We have dishes that are so farm-forward, less the salt or maybe a little seasoning of olive oil on the plate, it's 99.9 percent right off the farm," said Hummel
The group is also working to blend farming and restaurants into one "one, self-sustaining organism."
"It's connecting the dots. It's the full circle of harvest to distribution. What comes in the back door gets fabricated at the restaurant," said Hummel.
When asked if customers care that the food is "beyond organic" and grown locally and prepared to high standards, Hummel said "yes, after they're educated."
Ken Myzska disagreed slightly. He said customers don't care as much as he'd like them to care.
"I think we focus on disguising the fact that we're as connected or as sustainable as we are," said Myzska. "We don't want it to be in their face. We don't want to come off as pretentious. It's important for us to make sure they feel like this is a neighborhood restaurant that they can enjoy on a daily basis. It's really hurt us that people think it's really special."
"It's a lifestyle. We live it. I don't feel like we work on a day to day basis. This is how we function. It doesn't have to be a setting where they're dropped off at the farm or they have to be in a place like this where there's an audience with a panel, " said Hummel. "Everyday conversations that we have with people we have the opportunity to educate. There are 2,000 guests on weekly basis that come in to the restaurants, people who come to the farm. It's just us being transparent about how we feel systems need to be and educating people on a day to day basis through every interaction and conversation."
Epiphany's newest restaurant, The Old Bank Bar and Restaurant in LeRoy opens on Thursday evening.

BREWSTER – There will no parking on Brewster's freshwater and saltwater beach roads after selectmen recently approved a summer-long parking ban.
No parking signs went up last week on a number of roads, including Paines Creek, Robbins Hill, Saints Landing and Run Hill.
The ban runs all day, every day until Labor Day.
Brewster Police Chief Richard Koch said there are exceptions.
"If somebody has the opportunity to get off the pavement, which is a very rare event, they will be safe, but anybody whose wheels are anywhere near the pavement or the white fog line, will be ticketed with a $30 fee," said Koch.
The town has less than 400 beach parking spaces and over 10,000 residential and visitor stickers have been sold.
Town officials have contacted the Department of Conservation and Recreation to use the land behind Crosby Mansion, which sits on Nickerson State Park, for beach parking overflow, but have not heard back.
Selectmen are also discussing the possibility of providing shuttle service and offsite parking, but those plans won't be done in time for this summer.
Koch said police could not do much in the past when there were parking violations.
"Now we have the authority which we couldn't find in the past. We had postings, but we didn't have the necessary authority behind it," said Koch.

Shoulder bags were a huge trend in the 90's and early 2000's. As a kid of that era I have a huge soft spot for this style of bag and I am glad to see its having a moment again.
I was getting tired the oversized bag trend, but as much as I love a mini bag I felt the need for a practical bag that did not turn into the graveyard for all my lip products (does anyone else find a million lip products in their bag? or is that just me? ) I am so happy to see that this bag trend is back. To be honest I used to wear my Fendi Baguettes regardless of it being trendy, it was the bag that ignited the bag lover in me.
The Fendi baguette stole My heart when I saw it all over the magazines in the 90's and of course ms. Bradshaw too. I just adored that there was a baguette for every girl. Whether you were a sparkly girl, a simple girl, and edgy girl or a very sophisticated lady.
I always thought the Chanel classic stole my heart first, but then I soon realised I have always adored the baguette, it is just so versatile, it can be a little shoulder bag or an evening clutch. You can also add a shoulder strap and wear it cross-body. I feel like I have treated the baguettes like Pokémon and I have the mentality of "gotta catch them all… "
I know Fendi can be an expensive habit and I sure as hell don't have that budget! So I have found that you can get some pretty affordable baguettes on the pre-loved market, which I have linked below. Of course that depends on the finish of the bag. But the high street has been putting out some fabulous shoulder bags!!!! I have linked some below and the latest bags that the Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have been wearing! Grab yourself a pretty little shoulder bag for the party season, it will see you through any occasion, plus you can fit your phones in them without having to place Jenga!

Written by The Business Journal Staff
A year after expanding into a newly remodeled facility, Fresno-based 1st Quality Produce is branching out again — announcing this month that the company will begin growing its own brand of heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables.
One of the Central Valley's top wholesale and custom fresh-cut produce companies, 1st Quality has been in business for more than 25 years, with a large customer base that includes school districts, hospitals, casinos and restaurants.
1st Quality's new venture producing heirloom veggie varieties will take place on a quarter-acre lot behind the company's facility, which is located at 2445 S. Gearhart Ave. in south Fresno.
A hothouse has also been set up on the lot for seedlings and 1st Quality plans to grow as many as 40,000 transplants of heirloom tomato varieties including Costoluto Genovese, Brandywine Red, Brandywine Pink, Old German, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Kellogg's Breakfast, Purple Calabash, Gold Vault Pineapple, Tigerella, Marvel Stripe, Black Krim, Tigerella, Pink Pong and Crovarese Grape.
The initial process involves seeding flats that will be housed in the hothouse. Once germination begins and plants grow 8 to 12 inches tall, they will be either replanted on site or sold as transplants.
"Not only is this a project to continue what we do best, but also an opportunity to grow with our community," said Melissa Steward, director of marketing at 1st Quality.
Thanks in part to the so-called "foodie" movement, heirloom tomatoes have become increasingly popular and more readily available in recent years.
Classified into four categories — family heirlooms, commercial heirlooms, mystery heirlooms and created heirlooms — the tomatoes are grown for a variety of reasons, such as historical interest, access to wider varieties and by people who wish to save seeds from year to year.
Although heirloom tomatoes usually have a shorter shelf life, they are generally more disease resistant than most commercial tomatoes and their taste is widely considered to be better.
Steward said the company plans to invite local schools to visit the new project "so children can get directly involved with where their food comes from."
Founded in 1989 by the Fowler's Kahaian family, 1st Quality has about 100 employees, including 60 workers at its 35,000-square-foot custom processing facility, which is capable of producing more than 60,000 pounds of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables per day.
A new water recycling process about to be launched at the facility will gather waste water from the company's rinse tanks and reuse it for the new hothouse and heirloom crop project.
Mike Kahaian, CEO at 1st Quality, said a new drip irrigation system is currently being installed "to avoid wasting water. Eventually," he added, "we will not have to use any additional water from the city" to grow the heirloom crops.
"We're eager to get involved with our local schools to show and teach the students about farming," said Kahaian. "We've already been in communication with Fresno Unified and they're excited too."
School tours will also allow students to leave with an heirloom plant to be grown at home.
The heirloom tomatoes and transplants will also be available through 1st Quality's Farm to Families CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box program.
1st Quality launched Farm to Families in 2015. Steward calls the program "a new and innovative way to promote healthy eating."
Farm to Families participants can order a pre-selected fresh produce box full of California-grown fruits and vegetables, with each box's contents reflecting the current growing season. The weekly boxes come with their own recipe booklet that also feature facts about the origin of the produce and its health benefit.
"Farm to Families allows for families to enjoy fresh fruits and veggies they normally wouldn't buy, as well as trying new things," Steward said.
The boxes also include fresh-cut ready-to-eat fruit and veggie blend kits. "Our blends consist of pot roast mix, stir fry mix, sangria drink mix, fajita mix and more," Steward said. "Kits include guacamole and jalapeño poppers. Our homemade fresh pico de gallo is also available."
Steward said pick-up locations are located throughout the Valley, including Lululemon in Fig Garden, The Bar Method near Herndon and Palm, Old Town Clovis Farmer's Market as well as at 1st Quality's Fresno facility.

Eleven of the two lakh candidates who took CAT 2018 for entry to premier IIMs have made it to the blue-chip 100 percentilers' club. All of them are male engineers, unlike last year when two girls and three non-engineers bagged the perfect score. In probably a first, this time, one of the four transgender exam takers received a call from IIM-Calcutta; IIMKozhikode has shortlisted two transgender candidates.
Maharashtra holds the distinction of having the largest cohort of all-India CAT 2018 toppers, with seven of them scoring 100 percentile. At least three of them are from Mumbai and two from Thane. One of the candidates from the city, Jagesh Golwala, is a final-year student from IIT-Bombay, while Rounak Mazumdar, an IIT-Kanpur alumnus, is from Thane.
Amit Bikram and Rickshesh Manchanda are among those who aced CAT from the state. Manchanda, an IIT-Delhi passout working for a banking firm in Pune, didn't attend any coaching institute. Three others, including Patrick D'Souza and Suneet Khumbat, are coaching class faculty who took CAT to understand its design and pattern.

Weekly analysis: Stocks retreat after one-week rise
Even as the government took some market-supportive measures, stocks slipped back into the red in the outgoing week after a one-week break.
Thursday was the last trading day of the week.
Market analysts said investors mostly adopted cautious stance in the holy month of Ramadan while some others sold their shares after a number of companies reported disappointing quarterly earnings.
The week saw five trading days as usual. Of them, two sessions closed positive while three other sessions witnessed correction.
Week on week, the DSEX, the prime index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), settled 10.92 points or 0.21 per cent lower at 5,275, after gaining 20 points in the previous week which snapped the 13-week losing streak.
After the DSEX eroded 775 points in those 13 weeks, the government took a set of market-supportive measures to lift the investors' sentiment.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also stepped in to resolve the crisis by holding meetings with the market regulator and the finance minister.
As part of market-supportive measures, the government extended the tenure of the capital market refinancing scheme up to December 31, 2022 while the securities regulator enforced the extended lock-in period for placement shareholders and sponsors on Thursday.
These measures, however, virtually failed to restore investors' confidence, said a leading broker.
At the same time, he expressed optimism that the market will soon rebound as the central bank decided to exempt banks' investments in non-listed companies from capital market exposure, a move that can give banks plenty of room for fresh investments in the stock market.
Two other indices of the premiere bourse also slipped into the red in the outgoing week. The DS30 index, comprising blue chips, fell 19.23 points to finish at 1,851 and the DSE Shariah Index lost 4.67 points to close at 1,220.
The total turnover stood at Tk 21.45 billion, up from Tk 15.33 billion in the week before.
The daily turnover averaged out at Tk 4.28 billion, registering an increase of 12 per cent over the previous week's average of Tk 3.83 billion.
Block trade contributed 3.0 per cent to the week's total turnover, with stocks like National Bank, Mutual Trust Bank, Jamuna Bank, Esquire Knit Composite and Fortune Shoes dominating the block trade board.
According to the International Leasing Securities, the shaky investors were worried about the ongoing gloomy market, liquidity shortage in the financial sector and rising deposit interest rate in the banking sector.
The stockbroker also noted that the sell pressure was fuelled by the disappointing dividend and earnings of the listed companies and the declining net foreign investment in recent months.
The large-cap sectors showed mixed performances. Among the major sectors, telecommunications posted the highest loss of 1.41 per cent, followed by pharmaceuticals (0.90 per cent), and non-bank financial institutions (0.10 per cent).
The engineering sector witnessed the highest gain of 0.67 per cent, followed by the power (0.29 per cent) and banking sectors (0.34 per cent).
The market capitalisation of the DSE also fell 0.07 per cent to Tk 3,885 billion on Thursday, down from Tk 3,888 billion in the week before.
Losers outnumbered the gainers, as out of 351 issues traded, 179 closed lower, 152 ended higher and 20 issues remained unchanged on the DSE floor.
Fortune Shoes dominated the turnover chart, with 34.69 million shares worth Tk 1.33 billion changing hands. The company accounted for 6.20 per cent of the week's total turnover.
The other turnover leaders were Monno Ceramic, Esquire Knit Composite, Power Grid Company and Indo-Bangla Pharma.
The National Feed Mill was the week's best performer, posting a gain of 23.76 per cent while Eastern Bank became the worst loser, plunging 18.06 per cent.
However, the port city bourse, Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), ended marginally higher, with its CSE All Share Price Index -- CASPI -- advancing 26 points to settle at 16,186 and the Selective Categories Index -- CSCX -- gaining 17 points to finish at 9,800.
