Rambert: Mixed Bill
Celebrated as "the most musical, muscular , versatile contemporary dance troupe in Britain" (Daily Mail). Rambert returns with an eclectic programme showcasing the dancers' extraordinary athleticism. Making a much anticipated return after a 13-year absence, Rambert presents Rooster, Christopher Bruce's 0electrifying celebration of the swinging Sixties set to music by the Rolling Stones.
The performance features Four Elements, another classic by dance legend Lucinda Childs. Renowned for her sleek minimalism and for turning the slightest movements into an intricate choreographic masterpiece, Childs' unique style has been described as "Stage heaven" (The Guardian).
Completing the programme is Sounddance, a seminal piece by late master of dance Merce Cunningham and Dutiful Ducks. First created for Michael Clark in 1982, Richard Alston's short, sharp and witty solo is set to a tongue-twisting soundtext by Charles Amirkhanian. With live music by the Rambert Orchestra.

Fabulous 8.6 From 389 reviews
It was amazing stay there.
1st time at a hard rock hotel. Nice design, fun music. Looked to be a good spot for the family.
The room is big and comfortable. It's located right at the beach.Excellent & friendly Staff . Will stay here again.
Extremely professional and friendly staff provided everything we requested including brochures and specific directions to all of the available local attractions. Being just over 100 yards from the relaxing beach for sunrise and sunset walks was the best way to begin and end the day.
Room should be hill view but actually roof view and we could not open curtain . We request king bed and assigned king bed room but their king bed is combined two single bed so there is valley between two beds .
Location was good. My child liked the water park.
We have chosen to stay at hardrock hotel as for its location and our previous experience in other hardrock branches. The location is great just beside the beach and a 15 min walk to the batu ferringhi night market, massage centers, mcdonald and some great restaurants nearby. The room was great, spacious, clean and with a good view of the sea. The only downside was the service by the restaurants staffs which showed lack of training and lack of staffs to handle the number of visitors specially during rush hours. The breakfast at main lobby lounge was great but the one at pizzaeria was simply very disappointing. Other than that we hope to return and see the improvements.
For the price, the room was small. Toilet design was weird. We could heard a high pitch screeching sound whenever some other rooms used the toilets.
Plenty of choices for breakfast buffet, great hospitality by all staffs.
Good reasonable hotel with high price. No bath tub.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Here at High Brass Hunting Preserve we have seven field hunts to choose from. Each hunt includes breakfast, a professional guide, great dogs, lunch, drinks for the field, and bird processing. We also offer European pheasant shoots. These shoots include 10 stations which can host 10 to 20 hunters. We release 12 pheasant per hunter during several rounds of fast action shooting.
We have a great lodge, and our three cabins can sleep up to eight hunters each. Come relax under our covered pavilion, sit by our stone fire pit, or sharpen your shot on our skeet range. You can hunt for the day, or stay with us for a two day combination hunt. If you want a lot of action in the field additional birds can be added to any package, so call and book today whether you have two or a corporate party.

King Tuheitia is again calling for the dumping of tribal chairwoman Tania Martin in favour of Tuku Morgan in an unprecedented open letter to Kingitanga followers.
Covering seven pages and distributed widely throughout Waikato-Tainui yesterday it broadly criticises Ms Martin, who is chairwoman of Te Kauhanganui the tribal parliament, as well as other executive Te Arataura board leaders Kingi Porima, Hemi Rau and Tom Roa.
The genesis of the letter started two years ago in an embarrassing chapter when Tuheitia unsuccessfully tried and failed to fire Ms Martin who had raised concerns about what she believed to be wasted tribal funds.
In the letter Tuheitia told tribal members he wished he'd pushed harder because in the intervening period the tribe had become dysfunctional, continuously mired in High Court battles.
"I've spoken openly about the fact that if I had the authority and power to dissolve Te Kauhanganui and ... Te Arataura, I would have three years ago," he wrote.
"I will not be judged by my people for my inaction ... even though my actions may be seen as intrusive, I want to know in my heart that I tried. The leadership of Te Kauhanganui and Te Arataura has been reckless and shameful."
He called for Ms Martin and Te Arataura to stand down and is openly backing Tuku Morgan, who failed to win re-election earlier this year to the board.
The parliament is due to meet this Sunday.
The former truck driver also had words for his followers about their attitudes towards him.
"Many of you ... have all made judgements of me, my decisions, my behaviour, my words, my appearance, my children, my wife, my office and my staff.
"I have continued to try to correct and improve myself regardless of your criticisms."
In the tribe's post-settlement era there has never been such a direct dressing down of the leadership tier by either the king or his late mother Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu.
Ms Martin did not return calls.

Designed to make almost everything automatic, Auto-Tune EFX 3 provides Antares' world-renown real-time pitch correction as well as the iconic Auto-Tune Vocal Effect. Just set the key and scale of your track, adjust the Retune Speed for your desired effect, and Auto-Tune EFX 3 does the rest. For songs with complex chord progressions or modulations, you can optionally set up custom scales or use your host's automation facility to allow the processing of virtually any vocal line.
New in Auto-Tune EFX 3 is a fully adjustable Retune Speed control that lets you fine tune Auto-Tune EFX 3's pitch processing for any performance. And its new Humanize function provides pitch correction that is even more natural and realistic.
Pitch Correction
Like Auto-Tune 7, Auto-Tune EFX 3's pitch correction works by continuously tracking the pitch of your vocal and comparing it to the notes in a (customizable) scale. The scale note closest to the input pitch is identified as the target note. If your vocal's pitch exactly matches the target note, no correction is applied. If your vocal's pitch varies from the target note, either sharp or flat, the output pitch is smoothly corrected to the target note.
The new variable Retune Speed control lets you fine tune the desired effect for your track, from subtle natural pitch correction to the Auto-Tune Vocal Effect.
The new Humanize function ensures that short notes are effectively corrected while sustained notes are allowed to preserve their subtle pitch variations for the most natural, realistic pitch correction.
Auto-Tune Vocal Effect
The Auto-Tune Vocal Effect is what is technically known as "pitch quantization." Instead of allowing all of the small variations in pitch and the gradual transitions between notes that are a normal part of singing, the Auto-Tune Vocal Effect limits each note to an exact pitch, stripping out any variation, as well as forcing instantaneous transitions between notes.
Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation
Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation is a unique effect that adds intricate musical patterns to a vocal performance. Patterns are selected from a built-in (and expandable) library in a variety of styles and can be synced to your host's tempo at various beat divisions. At any point in your vocal track, simply click the Auto-Motion Trigger button to send your vocal on a melodic adventure.
Create Your Own Auto-Motion Patterns
With Auto-Tune EFX 3, you're not limited just to our Auto-Motion patterns. Since Auto-Tune EFX 3's patterns are stored in standard MusicXML format, you can use any application that can open and edit MusicXML files (and there are free open source apps that can do that) to edit existing patterns and create entirely new patterns of your own. So your vocal tracks can always feature your own unique Auto-Motion effects.
Note: Auto-Tune EFX 3 is a plug-in. It requires a compatible digital audio recording application to function. It is not a stand-alone application.

ZIPOLITE, Mexico — "You're going to like it here in Zipolite," Daniel Weiner, the owner of Brisa Marina hotel said with a wry smile as he handed me the keys to my quarters. "You're not going to want to leave in five days."
A few lazy days later, I began to realize why so many guests rent their rooms by the month. Whether it's the laid-back vibe or the tranquil setting, Zipolite has a way of making people stay longer than expected.
A sleepy town with one main street and no ATMs, Zipolite (pronounced ZEE-poe-LEE-tay) is one of many tiny coastal pueblos that dot the Pacific in Mexico's Southern state of Oaxaca. Stretching from Puerto Escondido to Huatulco, the region is sometimes called the Oaxaca Riviera.
The hippie crowd discovered Zipolite in the 1960s and since then it has slowly evolved into an offbeat tourist spot popular with a certain type of visitor. Its pristine beach stretches two kilometres between two high cliffs at either end, and the crowd is fairly evenly split between middle-class Mexicans and freewheeling liberals from across the globe. Old hippies, young adventure-seekers, and locals all mingle with a flower-child type harmony.
It feels light years away from the areas of Mexico that tourists now avoid due to drug violence. Not only has the U.S. State Department spared Oaxaca from its travel warnings about Mexico, but Zipolite in particular seems lost in time, a place where visitors think nothing of leaving their belongings unattended on the beach and backpackers sleep in hammocks strung along the coast.
Zipolite also has a few claims to fame. The climactic beach scenes in the Mexican blockbuster movie "Y Tu Mama Tambien," were filmed here. And it's gained notoriety as one of Mexico's few nude beaches, although the majority of sunbathers remain clothed. (Farther east, past an outcropping of rocks is the cove known as "Playa de Amor" where nudity is more openly practised.)
Mike Bolli, a retiree from Vancouver, says he has been visiting the area for the last 10 years without "accident, issue or injury."
"I have only ever met the nicest and friendliest eclectic mix of locals and visitors — it's a great throwback to the '60s," Bolli said. "So it's all good and safe from my viewpoint."
Zipolite has no highrise hotels. Many of the beachfront structures are thatched-roof palapas, umbrella-shaped huts with no walls. Brisa Marina itself started off as a wooden structure with a palm roof, but after a major fire in 2001 that destroyed 23 buildings, Weiner rebuilt it with cement.
Visitors expecting a party-all-night Cancún-like atmosphere with fishbowl-sized margaritas and waitresses in bikinis passing out shots of tequila will be disappointed. There is a nightlife here, but it's nothing like that. Instead, folks gather on the beach in an end-of-day ritual to watch the brilliant sunsets.
Many restaurants and bars offer live music and entertainment. And the only paved road in town turns into a carnivallike scene at night, with artists and jewelry makers selling their wares, while musicians, jugglers and fire dancers perform for tips in the street.
"Zipolite after six is awesome," Bolli said, "with all the dreadlocked kids hoping to sell their creations along with a great choice of different restaurants. It's not overcrowded but you can find a crowd if you want."
Some of the most interesting diversions can be found at Posada Mexico, an oceanfront restaurant. One night I watched a Cirque du Soleil-like acrobatic performance and another night I rocked out to Cainn Cruz, an amazing child guitar prodigy who brought the house down with his covers of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.
Adding to the groovy ambience is Shambhala, a spiritual retreat perched high on a hill in a bucolic setting. Tourists are welcome to hike up the resort's stair pathway where a meditation point sits atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific. Shambhala advertises the "Loma de Meditacion" as a sacred location where visitors may experience a higher consciousness and oneness with nature. The centre rents rustic cabins and hosts visiting artists and healers.
The name Zipolite is said to derive from indigenous languages. Some sources say it means "bumpy place," a reference to the local hills, and other sources translate it as "beach of the dead," a reference to strong ocean currents. The beach has volunteer lifeguards and areas with dangerous currents are marked with red flags.
Weiner, who has a deep tan, a working uniform of board shorts and flip-flops, and a crusty, carefree sense of humour, splits his time between California and Zipolite. He's owned his hotel since 1997 and estimates that about 50 per cent of his guests are repeat customers.
"This gets us through swine flu times, protests, drug war scares, etc.," he said. "People come back knowing we are OK, and they tell their friends too."
And sometimes they have a hard time leaving. As Weiner predicted, after a few days in Zipolite, I called the airline to change my flight. I had to stay another week.

Digital Ally Introduces the DVM-400 In-Car Video System at 118th Annual International Chiefs of Police Conference in Chicago
Digital Ally, Inc., which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance, speed enforcement and thermal imaging products, is introducing another new addition to its line of in-car video systems. Costing less than $3,000.00, the DVM-400 allows budget-constrained law enforcement agencies to purchase high quality digital in-car video systems like the recently announced DVM-100, but with greater camera control than the DVM-100 can provide.
As with Digital Ally's other in-car video systems that have been installed in law enforcement vehicle fleets throughout the world, the DVM-400 is incorporated into a rear-view mirror to maximize ease of use with space requirements. Unlike the DVM-100, however, it also features an external 10x camera to provide forward zoom capabilities plus better positioning control and an external rear-seat camera to record suspects after they have been placed in the vehicle.
Although the DVM-100 and DVM-400 do not have all the features of the DVM-750 and DVM-500Plus, they are easy to operate and offer high quality video with H.264 Codec at 30 frames per second, pre-event recording, covert mode, metadata, a remote wireless microphone, an integrated microphone for recording inside the vehicle, USB download or removable SD card, back office software, and more.
To learn more, contact Digital Ally, Inc. or stop by IACP booth #861 to see both DVM-100 and DVM-400 in-car video systems as well as several other new products.
About Digital Ally, Inc.
Digital Ally provides a complete line of digital in-car video systems integrated into a rear-view mirror; waterproof digital video system that is modular to fit motorcycles, boats, or any other motorized vehicle; compact video system that may be worn or mounted; digital video flashlight; thermal imaging camera; and LIDAR handheld speed enforcement gun. For more information, contact Digital Ally at 800-440-4947, firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.digitalallyinc.com.

Bula is the Fijian word for life and good health. The BulaFIT Program™ focuses on high-impact fat loss while preserving muscle mass. This works by tapping into your body's natural fat-burning metabolic process: ketosis. Reducing excess fat can provide huge lifestyle benefits like reducing your risk for chronic illnesses while giving you greater confidence and energy!
In Fiji, the ancient warrior class understood that their bodies were their greatest asset to effectively build and defend their homes and communities. While the requirement of having a strong body may not be as important to physically protect our homes today, maintaining a healthy weight with proper muscle mass is still critical for our long-term health and overall happiness.
True warrior health is a mindset and a way of living. It is a deep respect for the body and a commitment to provide it what it needs each day. We call these needs the 5 Pillars of Warrior Health and they are the foundation of the BulaFIT Program. For more information about this program, see the BulaFIT Guide.
"The shake is delicious and following the BulaFIT diet and exercise program is so easy!"
Patti Gardner - 25 lbs
"The keto shake is delicious and I was surprised that I could feel so good while 'dieting.' As I added other products and exercise I was surprised again how quickly my body started to change. This is truly is the 'feel good' diet!"
Mike Casperson - 43 lbs
"I started following the Wakaya weight-loss system early in 2016 and lost 50 lbs! I began feel better quickly—my digestion, my joints, no more aches and pains. Exercise became less of a chore and I am so happy with the results! Now, with the BulaFIT program, I've lost another 14 lbs!"
Carolyn McKeachnie - 50 lbs+
Typical weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. Please note that the causes for being overweight vary from person to person due to genetics, environmental factors, food intake, metabolism and differing levels of exercise. Because of this, results from the BulaFIT Program may vary. No individual result should be seen as typical.
The experiences mentioned are from Independent Ambassadors who have personally used the BulaFIT Program and products. Ambassadors may receive compensation from Wakaya Perfection for sharing and promoting its products and services.
Ketosis occurs when low levels of carbohydrates cause the body to switch from burning carbs for energy to burning fat for energy. This metabolic process creates ketones as source of fuel. Ketones are also known to fuel and stimulate the brain. Think of ketosis as the state when your body is in a pure fat burning mode. In the ketogenic diet, approximately 75% of calories are obtained from fat, with 20% from proteins and 5% from carbohydrates.
Ketosis is a completely natural process and is generally regarded as safe. The "keto diet" is called the "feel good diet" because of the high amounts of energy that metabolizing fat provides. Ketones also fuel the brain and help to avoid "brain fog" caused by other low carb diets. Keto diets taste great and allow dieters to enjoy butter, cream, cheese, eggs, bacon and other guilty pleasures.
We put our bodies into a calorie deficit when we eat fewer calories than our bodies need to operate. This calorie deficit forces the body to burn other stores of energy. The body's first source of fuel is glycogen (a form of sugar). Glycogen is quick burning and creates high amounts of energy, but is only stored in limited amounts in the body. When glycogen runs low our bodies start converting protein to glycogen to continue fueling the body. Moderate protein consumption is necessary to avoid muscle deterioration in this phase.
As the body continues to lack enough glycogen from carbohydrates and proteins, it begins to metabolize fat to create ketones for energy. Ketosis provides high energy levels to the body and brain. During the transition from glycogen to ketones, some people can feel a lack of energy and/or flu-like symptoms, often called "keto flu." BulaFIT Burn Capsules can support energy and focus during keto transition.

NEW YORK — Microsoft ended support of Windows XP on Tuesday, leaving the many still clinging to the outdated software exposed to cyberattacks.
The operating system is now 12 years old, so Microsoft is no longer providing security updates that patch holes in the software. The danger now is that hackers who find bugs in XP will be able to exploit them freely.
Windows XP isn't just running on the dusty, discarded PC in your closet. It's everywhere, threatening devices that store sensitive information and computers that keep the city lights on and water running.
An estimated 95 percent of bank ATMs run on XP. GE Intelligent Platforms, which sells industrial software, discovered 75 percent of its utility customers still use it. Cybersecurity provider Cylance says one of its clients is a major hospital where XP is still on more than 100,000 devices, including computers that hold patient records.
"It's literally everywhere still," said Cylance chief scientist Ryan Permeh. "Every point that's running XP is ripe for worms. They haven't been much of a common occurrence in modern times, but any new vulnerability could result in mass infection with very little remediation."
That includes point-of-sale systems at about 30% of retail stores, according to Greg Rosenberg, a security engineer at Trustwave. That lowers the bar to recreate the massive Target hack that happened late last year.
So, what do you do? It's simple. Upgrade.
The best strategy is to use an operating system that still receives updates from Microsoft. For that, loading your computer with Windows 7 or Windows 8 will do. You're better off with Windows 8, because Microsoft plans to keep supporting it until 2023.
If you've been holding off because of Windows 8's missing start button, have no fear. Microsoft is adding that feature in the next update. Plus, the company is giving away $100 in credits for new PCs.
If that isn't reason enough, try this: Windows XP computers are already six times more likely to get infected, by Microsoft's account.
For the stragglers, Microsoft is offering extended service for a pretty penny. The United Kingdom is paying to get another year of tech support, as 85 percent of its desktops at the National Health Service remain on XP.
Here's the good news. There are signs the software exodus has already begun. From early 2013 to 2014, the share of computers using XP dropped from 35 percent to 14 percent, according to cloud security provider Qualys. The company's chief technical officer, Wolfgang Kandek, expects that to drop to 10 percent by April's end.
Qualys numbers show the transportation and health care industries managed to cut down their Windows XP usage significantly. And a CNNMoney review of federal contracts shows that tens of millions of dollars have been spent in recent years by the Defense, Labor and Home Security departments to upgrade from XP.
But while everyone else scrambles to upgrade — banks are scrambling to tear apart their ATMs and replace them — most small business owners don't know that Windows XP has lost support. And some don't even know whether their machines use XP.
To them, it might not seem like a good idea to spend a few hundred bucks to upgrade each credit card swiping terminal — or spend thousands of dollars replacing them all. But the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality won't do this time around, said Trustwave director Christopher Pogue.
"The majority of folks in these industries aren't technical. They want to serve food, sell widgets and keep doors open," he said. "But you're giving the attackers something else to use in their arsenal. If there are vulnerabilities identified, there's going to be no defending against it."

|A conductor turned propgandist.
There should not anymore by any doubt about the fact that Russian (Ossetian) conductor Valery Gergiev is a complete Putin stooge. This formerly leading conductor is now one of the leading propagandists for the dictator in the Kremlin:
According to him, Russia did not incorporate the Crimea, it was the will of the people, which manifested itself in a referendum.
"In Ukraine there are too many Nazi elements," he argues, and maintains that the overwhelming result of the referendum was that the Crimean Peninsula residents do not want to remain under the "fascists".
The same applies in his view to many east Ukrainians.
"Russia has received tens of thousands of refugees from Eastern Ukraine." --
"I do not want to be a messenger in this and take another role than my role as a musician. I strongly recommend also to Karita Mattila, that she does what she is best at: singing an acting."
Gergiev continues to reflect on Mattila even more vehemently.
"How can she look into the eyes of those mothers whose children were killed? Many, many children died in the Ukrainian army's needless bombardment. There are no attacks against Kiev from eastern Ukraine, but from the centre they go to the east in order to annihilate these people. Why is the military used to destroy the country's own nationals, who have an Ukrainian passport ? "
The entire interview in the leading Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat here (in Finnish).
My message to the LSO and the Munich Philharmonic: The only decent thing you can do is to get rid of this man as soon as possible! A continued involvement with this conductor turned Putin propagandist will tarnish your image and credibility for years.
And, I say it again: Kudos to Karita Mattila, who dares to speak out!

MADISON, Wis. — One Wisconsin lawmaker figures if the U.S. military trusts 19-year-olds with a $10 million tank, then the state should trust them with a beer.
State Rep. Mark Pettis, a Republican who served in the Navy, is pushing a bill that would drop the drinking age to 19 for Wisconsin soldiers — but only if the federal government agrees it will not yank an estimated $50 million a year in highway aid.
A federal law ties federal highway dollars to compliance by the states with the required drinking age of 21.
"We're treating these young men and women as adults when they're at war. But we treat them like teenagers when they're here in the states," he said.
Pettis admits his proposal will be a tough sell unless Wisconsin gets the federal government's approval — or at least permission to start a pilot program to prove it will not cause more accidents or other problems opponents associate with a younger drinking age.
Wisconsin transportation officials say the federal government has told them there is no process to apply for a waiver from the drinking age requirement, and creating one would likely take an act of Congress.
The bill would create an exemption for 19- and 20-year-old soldiers from Wisconsin — but not for soldiers from out of state. A valid military ID along with a Wisconsin driver's license or identification card would be required.
A committee is expected to send the bill to the full Assembly for consideration next week, and Gov. Jim Doyle has said he supports it — as long as Wisconsin does not lose any federal highway money.
The Wisconsin chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving has lobbied against the bill. Its executive director, Kari Kinnard, said statistics show there have been fewer highway fatalities, injuries and other problems associated with alcohol since the mandatory minimum went into effect in the 1980s.
She also said research shows the brain has not fully developed until people reach age 21. "It's for their own protection," Kinnard said.

BONATO, M.A. et al. Maintenance requirements for methionine and cysteine, and threonine for poultry. S. Afr. j. anim. sci. [online]. 2011, vol.41, n.3, pp.209-222. ISSN 2221-4062.
This study aimed to estimate the methionine & cystine (M&C), and threonine (THR) requirements for maintenance of adult roosters differing in liveweight and body composition, and to estimate the concentrations of M&C and threonine in 'ideal' protein for maintenance. Five metabolism trials were conducted using 42 mature Bovans White (in trials 1 and 3) and 42 Cobb (in trials 2 and 4) roosters. In the first two trials, designed to measure the M&C requirements for maintenance, the M&C content in the diets ranged from 0 to 138 mg/kg d (687 mg/BPm0.73/d) for the Bovans White, and from 0 to 64 mg/kg d (346 mg/BPm0.73/d) for the Cobb strain, respectively (where BPm is mature body protein weight). In trials 3 and 4 in which the THR requirement for maintenance was measured, the THR levels ranged from 0 to 127 mg/kg d (624 mg/BPm0.73.u/d) and from 0 to 106 mg/kg d (584 mg/BPm0.73.u/d) for the two strains, respectively. Excreta were collected in trays, weighed, homogenized, dried and ground and the nitrogen contents of excreta and diets were then determined. The M&C requirement for maintenance was estimated as 19 mg/kg empty body weight (EBW)/d, 26 mg/kg EBW0.75/d or 87 mg/BPm0.73/d. The maintenance requirement for THR was estimated as 17 mg/kg EBW/d, 22 mg/kg EBW0.75/d or 76 mg/BPm0.73/d. The concentration of M&C in 'ideal' protein for maintenance was estimated as 11, and THR, 9.4 g/kg body protein.

Upstart Brewers meet Cardinals at the top
Milwaukee has best record in baseball, but St. Louis is as formidable as ever
MILWAUKEE -- It may be that the 2014 Milwaukee Brewers are considerably better than many people thought.
But the Brewers' problem is that the 2014 St. Louis Cardinals could be every bit as good as many people thought.
The Brewers came into Monday night as the hottest team in the Major Leagues, the winners of nine straight. Their bid to win 10 straight was short-circuited by the performance of the Cardinals in general and the pitching of Lance Lynn in particular.
Lynn transformed the Brewers from hot to lukewarm with seven innings of three-hit, 11-strikeout, scoreless work. Dominant would be a fair descriptor.
The Cardinals' 4-0 victory still left the Brewers with the Majors' best record at 10-3, so there wasn't much immediate cause for dismay in Milwaukee. The Brewers' early showing may have surprised some people, but don't count Cards manager Mike Matheny among them.
"It tells me that I was right in what I was thinking; that this is a pretty good team," Matheny said. "People love to make early-season predictions. The predictions that we made, this team is going to be right in the middle of everything. They've got all the things that you need to be a successful team, and they're showing everybody right now. I don't think anybody who knows what this team has is surprised with where they are right now."
Last year, the National League Central qualified three teams for the postseason; the division-winning Cardinals and both Wild Card entrants, the Pirates and the Reds. This neighborhood was Competition Central. It was relatively easy for many people to predict that in this difficult company the Brewers would finish a quiet fourth this year.
"The Central isn't a secret like it was last year," Matheny said. "The thing that adds to it is that the Brewers are a solid team, and they're going to be right in the mix. It's going to be a long, tough fight. We know that."
The Cards, of course, as the defending NL champions, require no further introduction. On paper, they appear to be even better than they were last year, when they led the NL with 97 victories.
The Brewers know all too well about the Cardinals. One of the reasons they were non-factors in the Central last year was that they were 5-14 against St. Louis. But when manager Ron Roenicke was asked if there was something extra riding on this series, he had to say no.
"We know we have to beat them," Roenicke said. "But we felt that same way against Pittsburgh. They're all important. If we're going to compete with Pittsburgh, if we're going to compete with Cincinnati, if we're going to compete with the Cardinals, we're going to have to play well. If we play good baseball, whether it's against the Cardinals or anybody else, we should be able to compete with anybody."
What put both of these teams in a position to compete Monday night was Miller Park's retractable roof, which was closed as tightly as possible. The calendar said mid-April, but the weather outside said mid-winter. It was snowing. The game-time temperature was 31 degrees, heading toward an overnight low of 23. A northwest wind howled.
When the Brewers played outdoors at County Stadium, it was thought that they had a home-field advantage in weather like this. But in fact, the real advantage was held by the stores that were still selling winter coats. Matheny played his formative Major League seasons for Milwaukee in the old ballpark. He got the meteorological picture.
"I don't think any of us would be excited right now if we were in County Stadium," Matheny said. "It was a great place to play, but days like this, it was rough.
"I have great memories, even from the cold days," Matheny said with a smile. "My first day here was a six-inch snowfall, and I remember there were still something like 60,000 shirtless people out there. It was beautiful. It was such a great crowd, and we had great support here even when the years were pretty lean. I have a lot of good memories, but they've done a nice job of adding to it with [Miller Park]. This is a beautiful park, and we enjoy coming here."
The Brewers may appreciate the kind words regarding their weatherproof facility. But their problem is that the Cardinals continue to enjoy coming to Milwaukee a bit too much.

Apprentice for warehouse Logistics
… has been with Lufthansa Technik Logistics in Hamburg for two years
"I am taking packaging units with airplane spare parts to the check-out area, where I sort the packages onto shelves for the couriers to pick up. I am currently in my second year of apprenticeship at Lufthansa Technik Logistics Services, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik. We have storage capacity for 245 000 different spare parts and we supply everything, from small bolts to large engine components. In addition to the regular courier services, the parts are often transported in Lufthansa Cargo freight planes. Spare parts for scheduled maintenance work are usually ordered well in advance. For emergency repairs we have a 24-hour standby service. The main aim here is to avoid delays due to downtimes, to get airplanes back in service as quickly as possible. We have a network of subsidiaries in 21 countries to help us do this."

Can one of the world's biggest cities be undiscovered? That's how it seems with Mexico City, where travelers are still getting to know not only the vibrant food scene, but also the art, architecture, and nightlife it has to offer. The heart of downtown, around the Zocalo, is getting plenty of attention though, since the opening of the Downtown hotel, from buzzy Grupo Habita (as well as plenty of other city hotels our readers love). And with no shortage of neighborhoods—both emerging and established—to explore, there's no better time to get started. Happily, that will get a lot easier in 2014, thanks to easier access and added airline service from various U.S. cities (which is pushing prices down), and an appealing option to fly the new 787 from New York. Interjet, a new Mexican airline, is hitting its stride too, after launching service to the States in 2012._

Tourism to Sri Lanka is on the rise, and while U.S. visitors are still a small subset compared to all those mainland Asian and European visitors, there's growing interest in the Indian Ocean island despite the fact that it's at least one connecting flight farther. One thing that's easing the burden, however, is nicer long-haul service, on Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines, all serving New York. The Pasikuda area on the east coast of Sri Lanka in particular is sizzling with hotel development, where Anilana Pasikuda, Beach House Pasikudah, and Centara Passikudah have all opened recently. That's sure to spur additional development—and even more options for the growing number of visitors in search of untrammeled tropical beaches._ —Paul Brady_
Attention, families: Whether you already love Disney or are a skeptic who feels the need to brave it for the kids' sake (or even like to go on your own, without the rugrats), there's never been a better time to go.Come July, the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World will bring the company's signature blend of discreet luxury and cosseting service to a stellar location right within Disney's gates. That's right—you'll get all the usual Four Seasons resort amenities, including a spa, tennis and golf, and the highly regarded Kids for All Seasons program, with nary a Mickey in sight. This is the Magic Kingdom though, so Four Seasons has included the five-acre Explorer Island, complete with rock climbing, waterslides, pools, basketball and volleyball, movie nights, video games, and a river with a waterfall and rapids to navigate. Throw in easy access to all the Disney parks and some of the best views of the famous fireworks from the rooftop steakhouse and Park View rooms and we'd say this one is a Disney game changer.—Nathan Lump

If ever there was a time to visit Panama, this is it. In 2014 its famous canal celebrates 100 years of connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and Panama City is gearing up for the milestone with a slew of major developments. The celebration kicks off in February with the opening of the Frank Gehry–designed BioMuseo. On the hotel front, the city's already seen the opening of the Waldorf Astoria Panama, the Trump Ocean Club (which made our readers' choice Gold List) and the Tántalo (which made our Hot List of the best new hotels of 2013), but the real talk of the town is the American Trade Hotel, the first Latin American development from the Ace Hotels brand. The 50-room property—opened in November in Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage neighborhood where dozens of centuries-old buildings are being turned into art galleries, cafés, and microbreweries—features a rooftop pool, a jazz bar, and a farm-to-table restaurant.—Nicholas Gill

The Russian River Valley, an hour north of San Francisco, has long been on the radar of in-the-know wine lovers searching for a less commercialized take on the California wine country vacation. But recently, the region has upped its game, becoming a mini hub for artisan foodmakers. In Sebastopol, don't miss The Barlow, a converted apple-processing facility that opened in May to showcase local winemakers, food growers, and farm-to-table restaurants. A hotel is planned but details have yet to be confirmed; in the meantime, the most luxe Russian River option is the charming 18-room Farmhouse Inn, run by brother and sister Joe and Catherine Bartolomei—fifth-generation farmers, winery and vineyard owners—who serve produce and eggs straight from their farm. Just two examples of how the tipping point is imminent; put this wine region on your 2014 travel list before the hordes arrive.—John Newton

In the few months since it opened in June, the Fogo Island Inn has put tiny, remote Fogo Island, Newfoundland—a traditional community of fishermen and boat builders that time forgot—on the map as a world-class destination. The Inn's architecture, scenery, furnishings, and food are all unique, capturing the island's heritage and soul, but what makes the place even more special is the people. The people of Fogo not only built the Inn but lovingly handcrafted nearly everything inside it, from the chairs to the quilts to the hook mats. They also act as community "hosts," introducing the guests to their island, welcoming them into their homes and workshops, and showing them a way of life that is disappearing. Word is spreading fast and the Inn is now drawing artists, chefs, heads of industry, and other luminaries from around the globe. Go while it's still untainted by the buzz and the locals haven't yet tired of tourists. Go also before all the buzz raises the room rates, which already start at $850.—Wendy Perrin

Americans are finally catching up to what French and Italians travelers "discovered" years ago… a truly funky beach town that still hasn't been invaded by anything resembling a mega resort. Five years ago you'd have to drive a tedious, lengthy, bumpy ride from any of the country's major airports to get to the peninsula; now, JetBlue flies nonstop from New York (twice weekly) to El Catey Airport, only a half hour away. Accommodations range from our No. 1 hotel in the Caribbean (the Peninsula House) to affordable family-friendly beachside resorts (Hotel Alisei) and groovy surfer-dude hang-outs like Hotel La Tortuga (plus a plethora of VRBO and Airbnb villa rentals). The beaches are spectacular: Playa Cosón, just out of town, is by far the best. Pick up an espresso and pain au chocolat at Sucré Salé café on your way out.—David Jefferys

If you're going to take one eight-hour train ride through the mountains just to eat at a restaurant this year, make it Christopher Haatuft's_ Lysverket in the charming seaside town of Bergen. The train trip from Oslo is nothing short of stunning, and a perfect appetite builder for Haatuft's magic. The young and tattooed Bergen native trained at Alinea in Chicago, Per Se in NYC, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York's Hudson Valley before heading back home to open this game changer, which is transforming the cute artsy town into a real culinary destination. The ingredients are local—whether it's seafood, reindeer, or apples—and the vegetables are just as inventive as the mains. Plus, the plates are beautiful: clean presentations of bright colors and shapes (follow the chef on Instagram), all of which adds up to the arrival of what Haatuft has jokingly called "neo-fjordic" cuisine. As the word gets out—Lysverket just opened in June—we expect foodies to flock here this year. Make your plans early, and include a stop in Oslo, which is also experiencing a culinary bump: three-year-old Maaemo put Norway on the food map with its two Michelin stars (and its all-organic approach to uber-upscale dining), but don't miss a cocktail at Morgenstierne, a speakeasy-style den run by two guys in leather aprons and moustaches; the buzzy scene at late-night hot-spot-cum-vintage-shop-cum-bar Fuglen; or the Asian-inspired eats at Pjoltergeist, the new afterwork hangout for restaurant workers.—Billie Cohen_
The Northern Lights over Fairbanks, Alaska
If you were ever considering trekking up to the cold, dark regions of the globe to see the Northern Lights, this winter is the time to do it. NASA scientists are predicting that solar activity is at a maximum this season, the highest its been in its 11-year cycle, creating the best possible conditions for seeing the aurora borealis. The increased solar flares mean more intense, more colorful displays,—so the only remaining question is not if you'll go to see them this year, but where. Thomas Lennartz of Arctic Kingdom Expeditions, one of Condé Nast Traveler's top-rated travel specialists, notes that the best regions for sightings are located beneath a "halo-like ring called an aurora oval, generally found at the 60-degree latitude in the northern hemisphere. The area directly beneath each aurora oval is the best place to see the aurora most often." Those spots include Fairbanks, Alaska; Yellowknife, Churchill and Iqaluit in Canada; Lapland, Norway; southern Greenland; and Iceland.

Colombia has quickly become a bucket list destination, thanks to the burgeoning food scene in Bogotá and the arts buzz in Cartagena. Yes, you should experience the funhouse craziness of steak-house-cum-night-club Andrés Carne de Res in Bogotá, but there's also an intriguing culture of rising young chefs in that city, including TV star Leonor Espinosa, who focuses on local ingredients in her three restaurants, and 28-year-old Silvana Villegas (pictured), who opened Masa in 2011 after returning home from New York, where she worked for Jean-Georges Vongerichten. In Cartagena, the winter is packed with three major arts festivals. Music lovers get the International Music Festival (Jan 4–12). Thinkers and literary types get the international offshoot of the UK's lively Hay Festival of Literature & Arts (Jan 30–Feb 2), featuring Gael García Bernal, Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, and Spanish gender philosopher Beatriz Preciado. And film buffs get the 54th Annual Cartagena Film Festival (March 13–19). Nab yourself reservation at Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena, our readers' top-rated hotel in South America this year.—David Jefferys
UNESCO World Heritage Site Bath is unbelievably picturesque, with its Georgian architecture and Roman baths…and then there are the famed thermal waters, which have drawn visitors from Celtic times to today. But despite its popularity, Bath has for years had only two five-star hotels. That will change this spring with the opening of the Gainsborough Bath Spa, a 99-room property set in three restored historic buildings in the city center. Rooms by Champalimaud Design (they did the Carlyle in New York and the Dorchester in London) blend traditional details like toile and coved ceilings with streamlined furniture and a soft, soothing palette of blues and whites. At the heart of the property is its bi-level Spa Village—reportedly the only hotel spa in the UK that gives guests direct access to natural thermal waters.

Judging by the number of succulents, high-end dream catchers, turquoise and silver jewelry, Navajo blankets, juniper and sage soaps and scents, and hand-woven baskets that are populating stores and homes alike, it seems fair to say that the Southwest, in terms of aesthetic and vibe, is having a moment. Despite the prevalence of Southwest (or Southwest-esque) accoutrements, the region still seems relatively unexplored. Sure, Scottsdale, Aspen, Taos, and Santa Fe are familiar destinations, but there are many lesser-known towns like Georgetown, Colorado, Cerrillos, New Mexico, or Tubac, Arizona, that are charming, full of history and ripe for exploration.

This wine region one hour south of Mendoza has drawn European winemakers, and, in recent years, travelers have followed in their wake. The draw isn't only the wine scene, but also mountain biking, hiking, and rafting. And forget any preconceived ideas you have about twee wine-country B&Bs, the options here will soon include contemporary luxury options that may leave you feeling merry even before your first glass of the local malbec or pinot noir. Opening this month, the Vines Resort & Spa sits on 1,500 acres of land, owned by 120 different winemakers. The new resort lets guests play winemaker for the day, blending their own malbecs before heading to renowned chef Francis Mallman's Siete Fuegos restaurant for a traditional asado or barbeque. After dinner, you can retire to one of the 22 villas in stone and wood, echoing the colors of the surrounding valley. The Casa de Uco resort will open in February on nearly 800 acres of vineyards with views of the Andes beyond. Guests will be able to choose from nine rooms, seven suites, or ten bungalows with private rooftop terraces.—John Newton

Nashville seems to be where everyone has just been or is on their way to right now, from friends to colleagues—even my parents are talking about heading out there this spring on a road trip. There's enough going on food-wise to warrant a trip solely for eating, which we and local tastemakers been telling you about for a while. There's City House; Mas Tacos Por Favor; Husk from chef Sean Brock; and the just-opened Pinewood Social, which is part coffee shop, part excellent bar/restaurant, part bowling alley. If you don't get out to Nashville soon, you might find yourself in the "tragically unhip" category.—Lauren DeCarlo

We've all been there: It's close to midnight, you're vegging out to HGTV, and you're seriously craving a late-night snack. Rather than perusing the pantry for something to munch on, you're probably better off turning off the tube and getting to bed because, according to a new study, when you eat might matter just as much as what you eat.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania discovered that eating during so-called "rest hours" (read: late-night, typical snoozing times) can actually cause major weight gain. Researchers shifted the normal eating time of mice from night to day and watched the rodents quickly become obese. Scientists say a similar effect would happen in humans if we shift our eating patterns from day to night.
The time we eat matters because our bodies have an internal clock that tells us when we're hungry. Even just mimicking what happens when your hunger clock is broken—by eating when you should be sleeping can have the same effect as actually having a broken clock.
What's also crazy is that the mice in the study who ate during the "wrong" time gained weight even when they weren't eating more calories than the mice who followed their regular feeding schedule.
So, if you want to indulge in some leftover Halloween candy (guilty!) or a bag of chips, go for it—just as long as it's not too late.

Police: Woman with history of stealing from churches strikes again
Sarah Runnion-Bareford accused of stealing $2,100 from Fairfield church
Police said a Belgrade woman who has stolen from area churches has hit again.
Authorities said Sarah Runnion-Bareford was arrested and charged with felony theft after she snatched a bank bag containing $2,100 from the United Methodist Church in Fairfield.
"We try to err always on the side of kindness and mercy. Some times that leaves us vulnerable to criminals," said Judy Gould, pastor of the church. "And I would rather risk vulnerability than to shut the door on anybody."
Interim Police Chief Joseph Massey said a woman came into the office area of the church on Monday morning and asked to speak to the pastor.
The church worker went to retrieve his cellphone in his car so he could get the pastor's cellphone number for the woman.
While he stepped out, police said, Runnion-Bareford grabbed the money bag and told the church worker she'd check back later.
The church worker immediately noticed the money bag was missing and ran out to the parking lot.
Police said he was able to get a partial license plate number.
"The worker got the car right, got the partial plate right," Massey said. "His description of her was right on, and again, additional supporting information was her history of actually committing thefts at churches in the past. When you put all that together, (it's a) pretty strong case."
Investigators said the church worker also picked Runnion-Bareford out of a photo lineup, and her vehicle matched one seen leaving the church on Monday.
She was arrested at her home on Wednesday. Massey said she was charged with a felony because the amount of money involved is more than $1,000. If convicted, Runnion-Bareford could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
In 2010, Runnion-Bareford was charged with scamming members of a church in Richmond. She was also accused of stealing $900 in holiday gift cards from a church in Gorham.
In 2008, she was convicted of stealing $10,000 worth of paintings from a church in Boothbay.

Although workers building express toll lanes have become a common sight on I-95 in eastern Baltimore County, Harford County residents should not expect to see the same thing on their side of the Little Gunpowder Falls for many years, state highways officials say.
A $2 billion Maryland Transportation Authority project to expand and add toll lanes to Section 200 of I-95 – between just north of the Route 43 interchange in White Marsh and the interchange with Route 22 near Aberdeen – has been put on hold until the MdTA can obtain the appropriate funding, John Sales, public affairs manager, said Thursday.
"As far as we're concerned we're not intending to build those toll lanes on Section 200 any time soon until we get that funding in place," Sales explained.
The MdTA is primarily funded by toll revenue collected from the bridges, tunnels and toll roads the agency owns and operates around the state.
Officials have obtained permits in the past year from the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Army Corps of Engineers to perform "system preservation" projects on the existing section of highway, according to both the Corps and MdTA.
System preservation projects include general maintenance and repair efforts such as repairs to bridges and overpasses, road resurfacing, cleaning and painting infrastructure and more, Sales explained.
"We could go ahead and move forward with those projects, and we would have funding in place for those projects because we would have those permits," Sales said.
Traffic relief
The more ambitious plan to build express toll lanes over the 50-year-old interstate highway's most congested section in Harford is dead in the water.
Officials with the MdTA held a number of meetings with local, state and federal officials – and local residents – between 2005 and 2008 as they worked to determine the "preferred alternative" for improving I-95 in Harford County, according to the project's website.
A 2011 study conducted under the auspices of the National Environmental Protection Act indicated building express toll lanes would be the preferred alternative for Section 200, Sales said.
Section 200 opened in 1963-64 and has expanded from four lanes in both directions to eight lanes heading north and south, according to the project's website.
Phased construction of express toll lanes on Section 100 of I-95 – between the I-95/895 split north of the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore and just north of the Route 43 interchange in White Marsh – began in 2006 and is expected to end in 2014, Sales said.
"It's basically going to have about eight miles of express toll lanes," he said of Section 100.
The section will still have "general-purpose, non-tolled lanes" which motorists can use without paying tolls. Sales said the toll lanes "would certainly give you a more reliable travel time."
The same format was planned in Section 200, with two toll lanes in each direction, in addition to non-toll lanes. Sales said a new park-and-ride lot would be built near Route 24 in the Bel Air area, augmenting the existing Route 24 lot.
A new lot would also be built at Route 152 in Joppa to replace the existing park and ride, which would be affected by the highway widening.
Construction of those lots would not proceed until the highway work is funded and approved in the state's transportation budget.
Preliminary activities
Although the funding is not in place, the MdTA is working with the Corps of Engineers to obtain a permit under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act with the belief the toll lanes and other upgrades in Harford will eventually happen.
The Corps must review construction projects which are expected to have an impact on surrounding wetlands and waterways.
"That's where we're regulating any fill material that that goes in the waters of the United States, fill material that is placed or discharged into the waters of the United States, and that includes wetlands," Joseph DaVia, chief of Maryland Section Northern in the Corps' Baltimore District, said during a recent interview.
The Corps of Engineers released a public notice earlier this year, seeking public comment on the Section 200 project. The public comment period began Feb. 8 and ended Monday.
Chris Augsburger, spokesman for the Baltimore District, said Thursday that Corps officials would send the public comments to the MdTA. The agency then has the opportunity to respond, and the Corps would decide whether to issue a permit based on information provided by the applicant.
Community concerns
During a March 4 meeting, members of the Joppa-Joppatowne Community Council expressed concerns about the I-95 project gearing back up after they had not heard any news about it for several years.
They were worried about the impact on the environment, their communities and property owned by Trinity Lutheran Church, which is just north of the Route 152/I-95 interchange and is home to one of the county's largest congregations.
In an interview the day after the meeting, Augsburger and DaVia told The Aegis the MdTA had applied for the permit and provided a copy of the public notice.
Church officials reported to the Joppa-Joppatowne council they had been approached by the MdTA about purchasing some of their property for the park and ride.
Sales said Thursday the agency had talked with church leaders in 2005, but negotiations "fell through."
"We're not going to be pursuing that Trinity Church property for the park and ride," he said.
Sales said the Section 200 project is low on the MdTA's priority list, behind projects such as completing Section 100, replacing the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge in Charles County, taking over operation of the Inter-County Connector in Prince George's and Montgomery counties, cleaning and painting the westbound span of the Bay Bridge and ongoing system preservation projects.
Latest Harford County
"It's projects like that, we're certainly looking to move forward with, and again, all that funding does come from toll revenue," he said.

THINK: 100% natural, chemical-free sunscreen for maximum UVA/UVB protection.
WHAT IT IS: A smart alternative to standard sunscreens. When it comes to sunblock, everyone wants the best possible protection — but few consumers know how to find it. From SPF ratings to UVA versus UVB protection, there seem to be almost as many measurements as there are options. As Europe's best-selling green beauty brand, Lavera developed its unparalleled sunscreens according to Europe's strict regulations and the highest natural standards, bringing U.S. consumers a uniquely safe, effective, and natural sunscreen option.
While the majority of sunscreens claim to offer "broad-spectrum" UVA and UVB protection, the U.S. requires that the SPF rating only measure the level of UVB protection. Though shielding skin from UVB rays is essential—the harmful rays penetrate the upper layers of the skin and cause sunburn — UVA rays constitute 98.7% of the total UV rays emitted by the sun and deeply penetrate the skin to cause skin cancer, aging, and collagen damage. New European regulations require that sunscreens provide UVA and UVB protection in a 1:3 ratio, effectively ensuring that at least a quarter of the total protection offered shields skin from harmful UVA rays. Because the U.S. has yet to follow suit, American consumers are left guessing when it comes to the level of UVA protection; however, Lavera sunscreens in the U.S. conform to the European standards, providing options consumers can feel confident about.
Lavera's 100% natural sunscreens are also mineral-based, offering myriad advantages over chemical-based alternatives. Mineral sunscreens build a physical protective layer on the skin's surface, providing immediate protection against UVA and UVB rays. Synthetic sunscreens, on the other hand, are absorbed into the skin and body and take 20-30 minutes to shield skin—and typically only from UVB rays. Furthermore, the same artificial ingredients that penetrate the skin have been linked to allergic reactions and hormonal imbalances. Lavera sunscreens are free of these harmful synthetics as well as parabens, emulsifiers, petroleum, phthalates, lead, synthetic preservatives and fragrances. Instead, the formulas are blended with biodegradable ingredients for protection that's gentle on the skin, body, and earth.
The Lavera sun collection available at Target and Ulta include:
- Baby & Children Sun Screen SPF 20: Protect delicate skin from the sun and chemicals at the same time. This pediatrician-recommended, waterproof formula is baby-safe, gentle and chemical-free offering UVA, UVB and UVC protection. Activates immediately upon application.100% biodegradable to keep the planet healthy too.
- Anti-Aging Sun Screen SPF 15: This ultra-light daily moisturizer offers instant UVA and UVB protection for the face. Ideal for all skin types, the transparent formula provides the perfect makeup primer. Witch Hazel essences and Licorice extract sooth irritation, while Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera gel provide deep hydration. Concentrated levels of Vitamins E and C, beta-carotene and unsaturated fatty acids provide additional protection.
- Self Tanner for Body: Self-tanner doesn't have to be synonymous with chemicals—this natural, healthy formula provides safe, natural looking color without harmful ingredients or sun exposure. Organic soy extracts infuse skin with a subtle glow, while sugar extracts ensure a smooth, streak-free application and natural, even results. Organic Jojoba oil, Calendula, Aloe Vera and Rose water provide moisturizing benefits.

who's the sacred bee?
The Sacred Bee is me, Kate Ferry, the author of this blog. I am a beekeeper in Custer, Washington. My family lives about 10 miles south of the Canadian border and right smack dab next to the Pacific Ocean, in beautiful Custer!
I am the wife of my husband, Jacob, and the mother to three children; my young daughters, Beckett and Camden, and our dog, Tucker, who is 11 years old.
Where's the name 'Sacred Bee' come from?
Honeybees are incredible insects. They are responsible for the pollination of over half of the food that makes it onto your table and the chief pollinators for many foods, including almonds and raspberries.
I became fascinated with honeybees while studying anthropology in college and learned more about these amazing creatures after taking an intense six-week course on beekeeping in Surrey, B.C., Canada.
My love and respect for the sacred bee has grown and intensified as I have watched my own two hives bear hundreds of pounds of honey, my garden flourish with the bees' pollination, and through the trials and tribulations of watching my girls (a.k.a. the honeybees) live and die.
Sacred Bee. Honoring the honeybee, one of nature's gardeners, and practicing beekeeping in Whatcom County, Washington.
