Vintage Seattle Beachhouse perfect hideaway

We wanted to find a comfortable romantic beach bungalow with its own beach on an island with thick forests and a verdant landscape, so we head for San Juan Islands, right? Well not exactly. If you live in the Seattle area think think closer – Bainbridge Island.

There is a reason why people who live on Bainbridge Island to pay through the nose for commuters and ferry set up with the inconvenience of schedule on any trip to Seattle for there is a minimum waiting at the ferry terminal. They go through all that because Puget Sound buffers really the big city and helps to maintain a lifestyle completely different. Island life is just different – it's slower, It is quieter, there are fewer people and, for many residents of the island, their houses are hidden in the dense woods under a canopy that makes them feel as if they were the only people on earth. Others enjoy spectacular views of the sound of their waterfront homes.

Visitors can share some of this way of life by jumping from the Bainbridge Island ferry, which takes place at least every hour and sometimes more often than that. You drive on the ferry to the down to the waterfront in Seattle and just half an hour later, driving in Eagle Harbor, which could equally well be a small town in the San Juan. The change of landscape almost magical.

We had been looking for a narrow range of refuge somewhere in Seattle that was easy to access, but a total change in the big city. We have fond memories of visits years, we have paid for a tiny beach house on the south side of Vashon a few minutes 15 minutes ferry from Point Defiance Park. We were looking for the same kind of loneliness and access to the beach where we knew we were going to spend countless hours exploring the coastline or reading good books that we were sitting on top of a newspaper or beach chair looking up from our pages from time then look incredible in Puget Sound.

A thorough search of the Internet is up some possibilities on Bainbridge Island that emerged was Bainbridge announced a "Island Beach Cottage." As we have studied the issue further, the description has hit all the right buttons for us – it was a "classic 1930s cabin" and Pleasant Beach a few miles across the island from the ferry terminal. According photos, there was no better word to describe the cabin charm.

We called to make reservations a month before, but we noticed Right after the booking calendar on this cabin was pretty full for the period June we were looking for. Our program allowed us to slip for a Wednesday evening, which was actually open. Just the fact that the cottage has been booked most weekends has confirmed for us that we made the right choice.

Our ferry trip to Bainbridge was so fast we did not even bother to get out of the car. Unlike the Anacortes-San Juan Islands run – where we always point to walk around the ferry and get amazing photos of the archipelago and enjoy a snack or a drink – Ferry Bainbridge is almost over before it starts. Depending on when you arrive, however, you may need to add another 30-60 minutes waiting time on the Seattle waterfront before boarding your ferry.

We came across a pizzeria next to the ferry. We ordered our pizza – which was ready in 15 minutes – and drove another 10 minutes from the cottage. It was easy to find and, unlike some cottages you see on the Internet, this place was everything we thought it would. We opened the door to a cabin of a room (bathroom and toilet) which included a kitchen, dining table and a quasi-life lounge room with queen bed – all decorated in beige or yellow or blue and white with knotty pine floors. The kitchen is complete with coffee maker, microwave, dishes and silverware, stove, refrigerator – everything we would need.

After finishing our pizza, we have begun to realize how special were the reasons. The cabin has a porch at the old and a couple of rocking chairs that are perfect for enjoying a postcard view of the expansive Green Lawn and, beyond, the water of Puget Sound. The trees and shrubs surround three sides the house, while the lilacs and other flowers add variations Highlights lawn. Interestingly, the home owners live next door their own well-kept house on the same vintage.

We took a walk on the beach where, with the flow of the tide, it is possible to walk All Around the entrance. The cottage has met our expectations and was exactly the kind of refuge we were looking for. But we also wanted to see something Bainbridge Island.

The island has several local and national parks have been set aside to allow access for residents the beach, and enjoy some of the woodlands of the island. We stopped by Fay Bainbridge State Park, where we found almost unused during our visit in midweek. It's not for lack of attractiveness – this park has beautiful views of the continent and the skyscrapers of Seattle. This park has long stretches of wide, cascading driftwood, and many picnic spots.

But the piece de resistance of our trip Bainbridge was a visit to the Bloedel Reserve – something we had heard about while living many years in the Northwest, but had never had the chance to visit. The Bloedel Reserve is 150 acres of forests and gardens which have been set aside by lumber baron Prentice Bloedel and his wife, Virginia. Although less curious first of the need for booking, after we have arrived at the reserve, we understood the why. The experience would not just be the same if too many people were in the reserve at a time.

After calling to follow for our reservation, we arrived at the bungalow where the hostess gave us a map and a brief explanation on the provision of reserve. We began our tour of two hours following the well marked trail that led into a meadow and into thick forests – mainly Douglas fir, red cedar and hemlock – that seemed like the trees were there since time began. If you wondered what the forest looked like in Hansel and Gretel, it was no doubt.

The trail weaves through several different sites in the reserve, including a Zen garden, a moss garden, a pool of reflection and several ponds. Approximately half of the tour, you can visit the first floor of the old house Bloedel, a French chateau-style building overlooking the bay of Port Madison and others from Puget Sound items.

The quiet solitude of the reserve was the perfect ending to our island getaway memory and offers a striking contrast to our short ferry ride back to reality.

A GLANCE

LOCATION: Bainbridge Island is due west of Seattle, just across the waters of Puget Sound.

best what: Bainbridge is known as a bedroom community of Seattle, but the change scenery and relative lack of development on the island are equally attractive or a getaway vacation spot.

WHEN: Any time of the year, although advance booking for the summer. Seattle from Bainbridge climate can be cold at times but it is generally temperate. You'll probably see some rain, but days of rain only added to the intimate feeling of your bungalow.

WHY: Bainbridge Island is an easy escape for area residents and visitors of Seattle, still offers a world completely different from the other side of the water. State parks and waterfront homes are numerous. You can go shopping in historic Winslow and there are also several highly recommended restaurants.

HOW: For more information about this beach cottage, phone 206-999-9655 or visit www.bainbridgebeachcottage.com For more information about Trip to Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Peninsula call the convention and visitors at 800-416-5615 or visit www.visitkitsap.com.

Just Add Water – How to Enhance Your Landscape

The use of water as a feature in your landscape can have a dramatic effect. As you are planning the coming years landscaping project, think about adding water. A garden fountain will add dimension to your landscape.

Water spouting from a free standing garden water fountain and cascading over the tiers will add sparkle in the morning sun. imagine the rainbows it creates as the light reflects off the falling droplets as they splash into the bowl. Hummingbirds will love to dart through the spray, getting a shower on the wing as they perform their mating dance. Others birds will come to drink and should be encouraged. Birds keep the bugs away and add movement to a garden.

Placed in a central position, a freestanding garden fountain will be the place where friends and family gather to talk and enjoy the fresh air that a fountain produces. Fountains produce negative ions that reduce allergens and have a positive effect on your health.

If you have a smaller garden, patio or atrium of just a smaller secluded area in a larger garden, the ideal fountain would be a wall fountain. an outdoor water fountain that is attached to a wall will create interest and height. Surrounded with plants in wall hangers and pot plants underneath, reaching up to the water, a wall mounted garden fountain can become a small oasis.

Include a small Wrought Iron Table and two chairs or just a comfortable lounger on which to escape with a good book.

The sounds from an outdoor fountain are not loud or overbearing and they do not make you lose concentration if you are studying. Quite the reverse, sounds from a garden water fountain will mute out surrounding sounds but their own sounds are relaxing and even improve concentration.

Garden water fountains will give style and character to gardens and patios. The designs of outdoor water fountains and garden fountains are exquisite and add an authentic look to your new landscape project. Gardeners around the globe are putting outdoor fountains among their flowers, plants, bushes and shrubs. The clean air from the cascading waters improves the health of the plants dramatically.

Garden water fountain may be made from a variety materials, the most popular being made from fiberglass, cast stone, or copper. Outdoor fountains that are made from any metal are generally rust resistant and all are easy to maintain. Bronze will resist corrosion and naturally weather to a beautiful brown or green color.

A bronze, bronze and slate or bronze and marble fountain would be a good first choice for your upcoming landscape project. To find the best approach for your project, contact serenityhealth.com, they are always willing to answer your questions and advise you which outdoor fountain to choose.

Why help materials often fail to help

Why help materials often fail to help

In, Eric Erickson, Ph.D.

Marriages and relationships are difficult for many of us. Their perspective is so full of hope and promise plenitude, love and happiness. Often, their beginnings seem to live up to those dreams, at least for a while. But once these relations begin to fail, to show signs of disappointment, it is often very few couples can do to halt the decline. Some couples find their marriage in decline, decides quickly to end their relationship and seek the promise of happiness elsewhere. Others try to solve their problems with the help of friends, a therapist or clergy. Still others try to resolve their differences, alone or with the help of self-help books, videos and seminars. Those who choose to consult popular self-help materials often leave disappointed that their relationship continues to fail. Today we'll explore several reasons why traditional self-help materials are often ineffective in improving or repair a failing marriage.

Our discussion will focus on three areas common problem for most, if not all, materials for self-help People will run from less to more restrictive reasons for their failure.

To start I should mention that my partner, Jeane Cordingley, and PsyD I love reading self-help books. She threw me on them shortly after we met thirty some years ago. In one early characteristics are found in many of them have caught my attention immediately. This feature was inevitable that the chapters called their contents as a list, such as: "10 Sure Fire Methods to rekindle the passion in your marriage" or "Five steps to better communication" and another good, "Three things that every women should know about men." Now it is true that there are methods that will increase or return passion for some couples. Just as there are things that partners can do to better understand their partners in improving their ability communicate with each other and there are certainly things that every woman should know about men. However, such generalities are often of little value when attempting to fix a failing relationship.

Your relationship is the combination of two unique and special, each worthy of giving and receiving love. There is nobody else in this world quite like one of you and when you have met and formed a relationship, She also became an instant unique. Therefore, improvement or repair needs, in addition to an equal effort on both your parts, methods, measures and responses that are tailored to your unique situation. These ideas can only come from you and, unfortunately, popular self-help materials fall woefully short of inspiring their readers if all they have to offer are generalities.

In addition, the healing arts are not an exact science by any means that are physics, chemistry and mechanics, for example, regardless of whether their practitioners wanted and psychology is one of the most fuzzy of the healing arts. This does not mean that psychological insights and the various "talking therapies" are ineffective. In many cases they are very efficient, providing more than 80% need help from those pursuing this course of treatment really. The point I am making here is that there is no fast hard rules when it comes to the application to contribute to something as complex and unique as your wedding. So when an author of self-help offers: "3 Ways To Sure Fire … .." these resources are unlikely to give you all the tools that will actually help you improve your relationship in any lasting significantly.

In our discussion so far, we have learned that generalities are the primary reason for material often helps fail to help those who wish to improve or repair their troubled relationship. Let us now consider the second part of this failure which involves the nature of knowledge itself.

All self-help materials, books, videos, seminars, etc. try to give you the knowledge. This knowledge can be presented in various forms, ranging from popular folk serious academic presentations, and covers a wide range of topics reflecting the diversity of psychology. The way knowledge is being proposed only a problem when presenting the author is beyond the comprehension of the matter of audience. Thus, the source of the problem is that we'll look elsewhere.

Of knowledge consists of information is the accumulation of information that is itself based on past experiences of others. Therefore, knowledge is always in the past and deals with past experiences of foreigners in their own situation. So only the knowledge is calm "Death", I mean he has no authority or ability to bring you the ideas of transformation you need to improve or repair your relationship.

Love is not knowledge. It is true that true love is not just the memory past events, past experiences and past pleasures. That is why the only knowledge that is constantly in operation in this context past, will not solve your relationship problems. If this were the case then everyone who had a graduate degree in psychology would be filled with happiness and we all know there are many, many reduced miserable.

When self-help materials offer their readers or viewers as their knowledge only "active ingredient" to deal with their problem for them are destined to fail. This is particularly true in the field of improving relations and repair, where all the problems that exist between a couple are compounded by the fact that there are two people involved rather than the only person that therapists are accustomed to dealing with. It does not mean that the information that leads to knowledge is useless, I mean simply to highlight one of the reasons aid supplies offer little help to those seeking to save their marriage. In reviewing the information and knowledge could play role in your attempt to help your marriage, it may be useful to recall that information and knowledge as part of a larger whole that is commonly known as wisdom. Wisdom is a hierarchy:

Information → Knowledge → Understanding → awareness.

From this progression, you can see that information leads to knowledge that inspires people to some understanding, which in turn can sometimes lead to awareness. Awareness differs from mere information and knowledge and even understanding that we are about to discover.

We arrived The third, last and possibly most significant shortcoming of limited self-help materials. It is the fact that most, if not all, People help materials fail to give you some form of empowering practices, exercises or disciplines that will allow you to apply knowledge you have acquired through reading or view them in a way that will fix your relationship. To better understand this concept back to our hierarchy of wisdom. In the traditional teaching of the West, you learn that the objective of acquiring knowledge is to achieve understanding, as shown in our chart. This understanding is then shown in higher education when you write your thesis and defend it. It is your understanding that allows you to defend your work. But this demonstration is purely academic limit of emancipation that understanding one usually spread. That's why I've said that simply having a graduate degree in psychology will not give you the tools necessary to improve or repair Your Own relationship. That is why there are so many unhappy couples who also happen to be psychologists and psychiatrists.

Returning to our hierarchy, you see that awareness following information, knowledge and understanding. This is not an automatic progression and often not occurred. However, when it grants awareness active command on his inner life and its problems. It is because consciousness is a being living, dynamic, expansive form of consciousness. When exercised, they are easily able to correctly assess their personal situation and those of closest to them and to formulate responses that are specifically tailored to their individual and unique needs. This active nature of consciousness you provide the solutions to your relationship problems. When two people to gain awareness and apply to their marriage, he soon towards becoming a perfect relationship, unfortunately, however, most self-help materials today do not provide this element vital.

Without providing you a means of awareness, something that is lacking in our system of higher education, popular materials using both the cost and widely available for free are unlikely to provide you with your concerns relationship they originate in the course of events in the early stages of the court or after the relationship, the marriage is formed. Achieving these defects some time ago that my partner and I formed www.perfectcoupleproductions.com as a source of materials self-help dealing specifically with issues of relationships that do not have the defects that we have discussed here today. These self-help materials provide technical education in addition to providing the necessary information. This is the only combination that complements the hierarchy and the wisdom and mastery active grants, not only on your relationship concerns, but all your other concerns as well.

When members of a relationship troubled apply this wisdom to their problems, they soon resolve. With their problems on the road and a new awareness of their relationship with the connection the real love that offers the couple is on track to build a perfect relationship with their messes before. This cooperative / mutual support Perfect relationships can be just as happy as the natural relationship Perfect two people who are causing quite right to have another. In both form Perfect Relationship each partner sees his companion with exactly the same excitement they had when they first encounter regardless of how long they stay together. Their passion is indeed maintained at a level that is higher than even these experiences couples that have recently become intimate. This level of passion that never falls. The amount of love, friendship, trust and solidarity in this perfect couple are beyond all experiments less couples who have a medium / Employee Relations (at the relationship experienced by most couples in America). Material success follows naturally of the positive synergy that exists between members of a perfect couple, just as health, longevity and popularity. If you are seriously interested to find or build that level of happiness for yourself, I suggest you visit www.perfectcoupleproductions.com where you will find all you need to do.

The Many Faces of Solar Power

Living in Nevada, the sun is an almost constant companion. This gives Nevadans a unique opportunity to use solar radiation powers for good. In April, a tour of southern Nevada homes shed some light on the subject of solar powered homes. Hosted by the American Solar Energy Society, this Nevada branch of the National Solar Tour explored homes that used both passive and active solar power, thermal hot water systems, and other environmentally features. However, unless you’re a green technologies expert, or took the tour, you may not know the difference between passive and active solar, or how thermal hot water is different than average. Let me help you understand!

Active solar technology is the one that most people may be familiar with. It involves having a solar panel that collects the sun’s energy and converts it into electricity. These have a battery where energy is stored, so electricity can still be used at night, and, to a certain extent, on cloudy days. Solar panels are an excellent way to make electricity, especially in remote areas. While they are moderately costly to set up, and do require some maintenance, they provide reliable and free electricity, even in climates far less sunny than Nevada’s.

Passive solar technologies are far older than active ones, and involve utilizing the natural heat and light the sun creates, without converting it in any other way. Have you ever noticed that after a long, hot day, south-facing rocks, pavement or brick and adobe buildings will radiate warmth? They have spent the day passively collecting solar energy, and are releasing it. Some materials are better at absorbing and storing that heat energy than others. For example, wood insulates, meaning it will block temperatures, whereas stone will absorb and release temperatures. Homes that are built to take advantage of passive solar are often constructed of brick, adobe or concrete. Cob is another passive-solar-friendly and ancient building material that is going through a revival of sorts. It is made of sand, clay and straw, similar ingredients as adobe, but adobe is baked into bricks and stacked, whereas cob structures are free-formed while the material is wet. Passive solar homes usually have a lot of windows lining their south walls, and less so their east and west walls, with little to no windows on the colder north sides. These windows do two things. First, they provide natural light inside the home, one aspect of passive solar. Second, they allow heat to come into the home. If the home has a stone tile floor and even walls, that tile will absorb the heat, releasing it later when the outside temperature drops.

Passive solar homes can be designed to be cool in summer while using the sun to warm them in winter. For example, if shutters are closed during summer months, the home will remain much cooler. Also, the height and angle of overhang can be considered to maximize the windows exposure to low winter sun, but minimize exposure to the high summer sun. Alternatively, I saw an interesting example of someone planting deciduous trees on the south side of their home. In the winter, the trees had no leaves and so let in a lot of light and heat. In the summer, their thick greenery provided shade that kept the house cool.

So that is the major difference between active and passive solar technologies. Since passive solar is essentially free, it would be wise for any architect or home designer to take it into consideration when building new homes. Well designed passive solar homes can greatly reduce their electrical energy needs. And while active solar is brilliant technology, it still takes many resources to create. Plus, it may be superfluous in an area with an existing electrical source.

As for thermal water heating, it too is a very simple concept. Home made thermal water heaters can be as simple as an outdoor water tank painted black, but that’s a little crude for most tastes. However, there are a variety of styles out there. Some have panels that are metal painted black and enclosed with glass, with copper pipes filled with water running through them. This water will heat, and is then pushed by gravity into an insulated storage tank. Some solar water heaters use a similar set-up but with tubes filled with anti-freeze that are then hooked up to a heat transfer loop, where water in a storage tank is heated. Whatever system you use, thermal water heating is surprisingly affective.

There are a lot of ways to take advantage of the sun and use less electricity. Check out next year’s National Solar Tour to see them for yourself.

I’m curious…what stereotypical subculture do I fit into?


I listen to industrial and metal, I get clothes at Pac Sun, and I have bangs that cover a little of my face. I’m not depressed or angry all the time and I don’t write poetry, but I do like loud angry music. So what am I?
Haha don’t worry fuzzy, that’ll NEVER happen.

I’m only asking this question out of curiosity, not because I want to be stuck with a label.
i_hate_goths, that doesn’t answer my question. And stop trying to sound smart, because you don’t.

You’re you.
