Using Travertine Landscape Pavers For Pool Deck

More than five-and-a-half million properties in England and Wales are deemed to be at risk from flooding.

This year has seen most parts of the UK being affected, with thousands of properties being flooded.

Despite efforts to improve and strengthen community flood defence schemes, many homes and businesses remain vulnerable.

The Environment Agency acknowledges that it is impossible to completely flood-proof a property, but there are a number of measures to prevent flood-water getting in and limit the damage.

There are a number of routes in which floodwater can enter a property.

As well as coming through doors and patios, water can find its way in through air bricks on exposed walls and through gaps in the floor.

Another way is via through drains and pipes as the pressure created by flooding can reverse the flow, causing water to back-up and enter a home through sinks, toilets, washing machines etc.

The Environment Agency lists two ways that homes and businesses can protect properties: "flood resistance" measures, and making a building "flood resilient".

Gregg Vigliotti for The New York Times

Harvest-on-Hudsons dining room has a cheerful, blazing hearth.

Harvest-on-Hudson has long enchanted diners with its grand spaces: not only its handsome dining room, but also its lovely patios, gardens and walkways that meet the rivers edge. Hurricane Sandy brought the river over Harvests lawns and into the dining rooms, but on recent visits we found the floors dry, if a bit warped, and the bar in full swing. The chilly autumn weather has eliminated the possibility of dining outside, but the lights across the river still shimmer through the dark, and the blazing hearth is cheerful and perfect for the season.

The executive chef, Vincent Barcelona, knows his onions, and his produce, much of which comes from Hudson Valley farms nearby. His menu is broadly Italian. The sausages are outstanding, and like a few other restaurants in the county, Harvest tries to use the entire animal, from snout to tail. Try the salumi for a snack or a starter. Our choices of prosciuttos, mortadella and speck were dewy and satisfying, perfect with a cocktail. Assortments of local and imported cheeses were ideal for sharing.

Among the appetizers was a rare treat: baked stuffed dates. These inspired morsels were full of complex flavors and textures: salty Valdeon cheese, sweet dates, crunchy almonds, smoky bacon. We also liked the grilled octopus, which arrived under a swipe of lemon and garlic. A beautifully runny sunny-side-up egg with bits of fine guanciale proved almost as good.

Ceviche was too astringent for my palate, as were the vegetables that accompanied crisped pork belly (which would have been perfect on its own) and bottarga (roe) toasts, although a friend who had lived in Italy said that the vinegary flavor was characteristic.

There is a raw bar as well, with its usual selection of oysters, clams, shrimp and lobster.

Pasta dishes here were several steps above the ordinary. Chiochiolli, a snail-shaped pasta, easily captured crumbles of robust house-made sausage, peas and creamy Gorgonzola sauce; and paccheri, like floppy rigatoni, mingled with pulled duck, mushrooms and mascarpone for a wonderful dish.

Also up for serious consideration were fish entrees, like the gorgeous chunk of snowy Chatham cod set on a bed of nutty fregula beads; and the whole grilled branzino with cucumber, date and citrus adding a note of garden freshness to the smokiness. Satisfying, too, were the ahi tuna, seared without and rosy within, and the gently seared red snapper.

Although it lacked excitement, a half of a small roasted chicken arrived moist, prettily bronzed and wreathed with potato, zucchini, carrots and perfectly cooked fava beans. Sauted wild mushrooms and a slathering of melting Gorgonzola added glamour to a tasty but slightly chewy New York strip steak.

A Review of Harvest-on-Hudson Restaurant, in Hastings-on-Hudson

THE Bible Society of The West Indies is defending its recently completed translation of the New Testament into patois as a step in the right direction.

According to Reverend Courtney Stewart, a patios Bible will result in the scriptures reaching a wider audience and will be understood by the masses due to its presentation in the language of the people.

"Our experience has been that the scriptures make the greatest impact on people when they hear it in their mother tongue. As far as the language is concerned, people having the scriptures in their mother tongue find affirmation, actually it builds your self-esteem," Stewart told reporters and editors yesterday at the weekly Observer Monday Exchange.

The patios version of the New Testament will be launched locally on December 9 at Bethel Baptist Church in Half-Way-Tree, St Andrew.

It was launched in England last month and according to Stewart, Jamaicans in the United Kingdom were very receptive.

"We saw that in England, for example, where people were celebrating that this is their language," he said.

The concept has drawn criticism from some sectors of society who have called it a waste of money and a trivialising of the word of God. Critics also say the move would limit the country's development and set back efforts by educators to get children to read, write and speak proper English.

But noted linguist Professor Hubert Devonish shot down any criticism of the patois Bible and suggested such talk bordered on hypocrisy.

"Has the traditional method worked? The method of excluding Jamaican, pretending that the children are English-speaking, has it worked? While many Jamaicans will deny the language their behaviour is contradictory because you can't turn on the radio right now without hearing Jamaican. This process doesn't undermine it, it actually helps it," Devonish said.

According to Rev Stewart, the demand for the patois Bible is encouraging.
