Villa Menaggio, Como, Italy : Architecture Information + Images
New Italian Residence – design by Studio Alhadeff
28 Oct 2010
Como Property
Project title: Villa Menaggio
Date: 2010
Architect: Studio Alhadeff
Project location: Como, Italy
Giancarlo Alhadeff of firm Studio Alhadeff, recently completed a project at a stunning location on Lake Como.
This Lake Como vacation home is in the town of Menaggio, Italy. The owners are a young Russian couple, the husband a well-known Moscow media mogul. The house was originally designed in the '60s, and though its exterior – and certainly its location – were promising, its cramped, dated interiors required extensive renovation.
The plan by Studio Alhadeff simplified the interior spaces, orienting them as much as possible outward, toward the lake. The ground floor was transformed into a warm flow of private and public space, all of htem graced by the view and the spectacular light which illuminates the light-wood interior. Alhadeff also inserted a freestanding curvilinear stair which threads a visual sensuality throughout both floors of the house, a recurring reminder of the home's tactile simplicity. The grounded, welcoming atmosphere of the house, combined with the sweeping views of the lake and the Alps beyond to the south, create a unique feeling of being sheltered yet connected to nature.
Striking examples of prototypical modernist furniture form an exciting contrast to the peaceful design of the interior. A guest house adjacent to the main structure is entirely of Alahdeff's design, and it reinterprets the older villa in a streamlined, contemporary idiom. With its mixture of local authenticity and cosmopolitan refinement, the Menaggio project is a perfect demonstration of Alhadeff's uniquely international perspective as well as the lifestyle of the client.

Thursday temperature throwback
Daybreak windchills in the 30s
JACKSONVILLE, Fla – One week ago we were in the midst of another nor'easter. Cloudy, cold, breezy, as temperatures barely reached 50°. Well today (Thursday) we will again "throwback" to breezy, cold temperatures, but this time, with sunshine!
Yesterday's high reached 80° today we will struggle to reach 60°, grab the sunglasses and a sweater/jacket/pullover and head on out into the chill. The bigger story? A major late winter storm roared through the Mid-Atlantic and New England states with non-thunderstorm winds that exceeded 65mph! That same storm dumped more than two feet of snow across most of the major ski resorts there as well.
Tonight, winds settle, skies remain clear and a frosty start awaits for some of us early Friday morning. More later...

How Free Range is your Turkey?
Have you ever wondered why intensive free range turkeys all seem to congregate at the door of their huge sheds? I always have. I had assumed it was because they were institutionalised and didn't want to leave the heat of the shed. But today I was over visiting a small scale, genuine free range producer and he told me.
A turkey can only recognise a thousand other turkeys. (And we think they are stupid…….) In that thousand there is a strict pecking order. If the doors of the shed open, only those closest to the door will go out because if a poor chap from the back ventures forth, he risks being bullied and pecked by those into whose territory he has entered. So if you assume there are 7000 turkeys in a shed, yes seven thousand, you can presume only a percentage of those ever get to go out.
Having reared poultry here for years, but not turkeys, I have seen the bullying that goes on when a new bird is introduced. It can take one to three weeks for a new introduction to be accepted. Hens are particularly wicked. But I have observed similar bullying in horses as well.
Small numbers of genuine free range birds who have established a pecking order and all recognise each other will knock you down to get out. When they get out, they get to eat a more varied diet (usually), they get exercise and fresh air and their meat will have a lot more flavour. In addition, they have lived their life as nature intended and haven't spent their entire existance in a few square centimetres inhaling ammonia fumes from turkey wee.
With everything you buy "buyer beware" should apply. Ask where your Christmas/Thanksgiving turkey is from. Ask what it's fed. It is best to go and visit but there are occasions you have to put your trust in your butcher or producer. A genuine producer or butcher will have no problem letting you see where the birds are reared. And a genuine person won't sell you a pig in a poke.
If you care about animal welfare or if you care about what you eat, don't be fooled by a free range label. It's become as meaningless as artisan and all the other clichés bandied about willy nilly.

- Features
The Park 340 PWX 4WD is powered by a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 18 Twin Cylinder engine with a displacement of 570cc and a power output of 11.9kW @ 3200rpm. This mower comes complete with an electric 105cm (£849) Quick Flip deck, with 'height of cut' adjustment from 25 to 85mm; the settings can be easily be adjusted without leaving the seat.
Hydrostatic 4WD transmission means that you have infinite speed control in either direction from a single pedal. The PTO clutch is manually controlled from the seat and the fuel tank capacity is 6 litres.
Imagine driving around your garden effortlessly creating a perfectly clipped healthy green lawn, no longer restricted to driving up and down in straight lines, scuffing the ground turning on the same areas and wasting fuel and time collecting grass clippings that will sit in an unsightly rotting pile at the bottom of your garden.
Imagine easily coping with soft wet ground conditions on a flat or sloping garden, manoeuvring quickly around all sorts of obstacles without worrying about your rear wheels dropping of the edge off the lawn or catching the back of your tractor on fences, trees or even your new greenhouse.
Imagine being able to trim under overhanging shrubs and into corners because your Multiclip cutting deck is positioned at the front of the machine where you can always clearly see it and it cuts the grass before your wheels have a chance to lay it flat.
Only a 4WD Stiga Park can provide you with such an enjoyable way to maintain and improve your lawn and paddock areas, turning this chore into a 'Drive in the Park'.
Stiga's unique articulated chassis design ensures that the rear wheels follow exactly in the path of the front cutting deck. This is made possible because the chassis pivots at the centre point of the front and rear axles leaving you free to concentrate on looking forward at the grass that you're about to cut rather than worrying about the obstacles that you have just passed. The articulated chassis design also means that the simple and effective 4WD system eliminates any tyre scuffing on your lawn whilst turning, as well as ensuring excellent traction in wet conditions and on sloping ground.
For formal lawn areas with an occasional requirement for long grass cutting, our 95cm, 100cm and 105cm 'Multiclip Combi' decks are ideal.
All Stiga Parks are designed with functionality, reliability, comfort, quality and the environment in mind.
Built today for tomorrow, all models come with a minimum 3 year warranty.
For advice on the mower best suited to your requirements please call our Technical Helpline on 0800 669 6326 or contact your local Stiga Dealer who will be happy to advise you.

Once upon a time citizens had their place and fulfilled the needs of the community around them. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker all had necessary skills passed from generation to generation, which were essential to the effective functioning of the village unit. Only very rarely did one stray from the path, and one did so at great risk to the social fabric. Fortunately however, that is not the world we live in today. Career is a fluid term, and none embraces this fluidity more so than artists.

Planning a holiday or adventures abroad can be extremely exciting, but it can also be stressful. There are lots of things to arrange before you leave, and the last thing you need is a passenger without a passport.
Animal passports can take a number of weeks to obtain, depending on the vaccinations your companion has had, so you're recommended to begin the process of sorting a passport for your pet at least six weeks before you plan to travel.
In order for your pet to go away with you they will have to meet a number of requirements, including:
It's important to remember that while on holiday your companion may be exposed to health conditions that aren't present in this country. It's therefore important that you speak with a member of our friendly team before you travel to ensure that you are taking all of the necessary precautions.

Britons among 10 dead in Majorca island flash floods, a boy remains missing
At least 10 people died, including two Britons, and a boy remained missing Wednesday after flash floods hit the Spanish holiday island of Majorca, tearing through village streets and sweeping away cars.
At least 10 people died, including two Britons, and a boy remained missing Wednesday after flash floods hit the Spanish holiday island of Majorca, tearing through village streets and sweeping away cars.
Muddy waters rushed down roads, houses were flooded and vehicles piled up on top of each other after the Mediterranean island was pounded with rain in just a few hours, video footage showed.
One witness told a local newspaper he had to swim out of his car through a window to safety.
"I swam 500 metres (1,650 feet) through the torrent until I got to a house," Manuel Torrescusa told the Diario de Mallorca.
"I hardly had any clothes on me as they all got caught on a metal fence when I was swimming."
Emergency services in the Balearic archipelago tweeted that the death toll had risen to 10 and a little boy remained missing.
Britain's foreign office said two British nationals had died.
"We are supporting the family of two British people following their deaths in Spain, and will do all we can to assist them at this deeply difficult time," it said in a statement.
Emergency services sent out tweets in Spanish, Catalan, English and German in an indication of the prevalence of tourists and foreign residents on the island.
Last year, 13.8 million foreign tourists visited the Balearic Islands, according to official statistics. The biggest numbers came from Germany and Britain.
Many more foreigners live in the archipelago.
Spain's meteorological office warned that rainfall and storms were set to get worse in the archipelago "in the coming hours." In Majorca, the worst affected area lay 60 kilometres east of the capital Palma de Majorca.
Sergio Mantas, a local policeman, told the Diario de Mallorca that the situation in Sant Llorenc des Cardassar, one of the worst-hit villages, had been "devastating." "The village was a torrent."
Javier Martinez told the daily he had to leave his flooded home.
"I don't have anything with me, just my pyjamas," he was quoted as saying.
"My house filled up completely and when it (the water level) dropped we left and went through the mud that the flood left." Local television showed footage of beach umbrellas floating in the sea near S'Illot, one of the affected coastal villages.
Around 500 emergency workers were searching for people and helping those affected, the regional government said.
Helicopters and search dogs were also sent to the scene, the country's emergency military unit added.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited the disaster zone and described the situation as "absolutely extraordinary".
He promised financial help for affected zones.
Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal, who is from the affected area in Majorca, said on Instagram he was offering to open up his sports centre and tennis academy to people made homeless by the floods.
"Our most sincere condolences to the loved ones of the victims of the serious floods in San Llorenc," he wrote.
Many people spent the night in sports centres.
Maria Magdalena Ferrer, the spokeswoman for the Manacor Hospital in the affected area, told AFP that people "who were in the hospital yesterday and weren't able to go home" stayed the night.

Adventure-bike manufacturers traditionally have aimed for some elusive, all-around ideal that inevitably results in a motorcycle with compromised performance both on- and off-road. Triumph hopes to avoid this trap by offering its new Tiger 800 enduro in two distinct versions, leaving you to choose the one that best suits your purposes. The standard Tiger is intended primarily for street riding, with cast 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels fitted with road-biased rubber. The Tiger XC is equipped for off-road exploring with stronger spoked wheels-the front 21 inches diameter-and more protective bodywork that incorporates hand guards, fork guards and a distinctive fender beak. The engine and frame will be identical on both bikes.
The Tiger bears more than a passing resemblance to BMW's F800GS, but with an anticipated 105 bhp and a 440-lb. curb weight it should easily outperform the Beemer. The 800cc inline-triple is based on the British firm's proven 675cc powerplant, with a longer-stroke crank providing the displacement increase. Specifications were scarce at press time, but there are apparently enough differences between the two engines that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has classified the 800 as a new engine family for homologation purposes. The 800cc triple's power profile should be a perfect match for the Tiger's intended use, with a smoother, snappier character than a similarly sized twin and more personality than a small-bore four.
The tubular-steel chassis is built for strength, and the exposed rear subframe appears capable of carrying serious loads, with plenty of room for optional hard luggage and roomy passenger accommodations. An upright, Dakar-style windscreen hovering over the dual headlights will block a bit of wind, with larger options immediately available from Triumph. Indeed, there will be an extensive line of accessories, including performance parts, enhanced engine protection and everything imaginable to expand touring comfort and range.
Triumph has been on a tear lately, releasing exciting models and expanding into new categories at a pace unmatched by any other OEM. This pair of Tigers continues this effort, and looks almost certain to increase the firm's market share and lure even more buyers to the British brand.

Everyone in the blogging world seems to indulge in swaps every once in a while. I have also a swap buddy from the USA. :) I consider her to be more than a swap buddy because we do chat about other things other than makeup. E.g: Her dog's name is Bobo, her bf is allergic to nuts, she usually visits her parents on the wekeends, etc.. Jenny's super sweet and fun to talk to.
She told me she wouldn't go over 1kg this time around as shipping is crazy expensive. It's a good thing she sent her package before I did because I had to go and get her more stuff because I absolutely felt guilty when I saw how much she sent me. Hence, I was late in sending her the package and I went over 2kgs LOL! xD
YAY Urban Decay goodies - Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion, Ink for the Eyes and Lipstick in Sellout.
She knows I love Kiehl's so she sent me - Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Lip Balm No. 1, Imperial Body Balm, Ultra Facial Cream and Cryste Marine - Lifting and Firming Cream.
Jenny loves Lancome and decided to share the love with me.
Coach perfume roller ball, Lancome single eyeshadow and Radiant Smoothing Eye Shadow Duo in Velvet Corail.
Korres Guava Lip Butter, Physicians Formula Liquid Eyeliner, Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural and Rocket City Lip Gloss.
Alpha Hydrox Anti-Wrinkle Cream and Shisheido Aqua Label Moisturizer
More skincare items to try! :)
Real Techniques Brush Set
Caudalie samples and a couple of Sexy Look - Hello Kitty masks. I have used the masks and I loved them so I placed an order for more online. =)
I hope Jenny likes everything I sent her as much as I liked all these wonderful things she sent me. I WUBBB YEWWW JENNY!!! <3 She's always so kind, thoughtful and generous. :3
Jenny is everywhere! LOL! Please follow and watch her if you haven't. :)

A report published in the Journal of Community Medicine and Health Education indicates that MATES can save lives. A small team led by Professor Graham Martin looked at suicide rates in the Queensland Construction industry from 2003-2007 – five years before MATES in Construction and compared to the five years after 2008-2012 and found that suicide rates had fallen by 7.8% among construction workers. This is remarkable since suicide rates generally was stable in Australia and even increasing in Queensland over the same period.
It is also noticeable that other jurisdictions not running MATES in Construction from 2008-2012 did not see the same fall in suicide rates as Queensland did.
The results are a strong indication that MATES in Construction is effective although it is not concrete evidence. MATES in Construction had only trained a few thousand workers in 2008 and 35,000 by 2012 out of the close to 200,000 construction workers in Queensland. Had MATES in Construction reached more workers over the period then the results would have been more likely to reach statistical significance. It is also likely that the suicide rates amongst those workers who are exposed to the MATES in Construction program it likely to have fallen significantly more than 7.8% as 7.8% was the fall registered across all of the industry.
It is not possible to definitively conclude that the suicide rates in Queensland fell because of MATES in Construction – but it is a fact that suicide rates fell while MATES in Construction was being implemented and similar falls were not observed where MATES in Construction was not implemented.
The researchers also points out that presuming that MATES in Construction was the cause of the falling suicide rates in the Queensland construction industry it was not possible to identify what part(s) of the MATES in Construction program was the effective ingredient.
The paper recommends a follow up study after 10 years of MATES in Construction as to identify what parts of the MATES in Construction program are associated with the call.
It should be noted that research by Allison Milner from Deakin University published by MATES in Construction looking at national suicide rates in the construction industry seems to confirm the finding of the report. The Deakin report show that the low Queensland suicide rate continued in 2013 with Queensland construction workers recording the lowest suicide rates of any state or territory of Australia.

Hydrogen is a neutral atom. Its single electron orbits a single proton, and the net effect is no electrical charge. But what about hydrogen's antimatter counterpart, antihydrogen? Made of a positron that orbits an antiproton, the antihydrogen atom should be neutral too. Various results have indicated as much, but because the charge of antiatoms is difficult to measure, it has remained an open question.
A recent experiment to measure the charge of antihydrogen has now placed a bound on the atom's charge. Physicists from Berkeley Lab, the University of California, and other institutions part of the ALPHA collaboration at CERN, have published in Nature Communications a new measurement of the charge of antihydrogen, determined with unprecedented precision.
The result: effectively zero. Specifically, antihydrogen's charge is less than 20 billionths of the magnitude of the electron charge, a measurement that's a million-fold improvement over the best previous experiment. This is good news for fundamental theories of physics.
"We would expect the charge of hydrogen and antihydrogen to be the same," says Jonathan Wurtele, physicist at Berkeley Lab and UC and author on the paper. "If we had seen a charge, we would have new physics. "
Antihydrogen resists easy measurement for a number of reasons, starting with its production. While positrons are relatively straightforward to obtain, low energy antiprotons are only available at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN. (Antiprotons were first created in 1955 at Berkeley Lab's now decommissioned Bevatron accelerator.)
Once produced through high-energy collisions, the particles then need to be slowed down and cooled. Next, electrodes manipulate the electric field to mix antiprotons with positrons, making a few atoms of antihydrogen. These atoms are then trapped in a magnetic "bottle." It takes thousands of positron-antiproton mixings to produce just 500 atoms of trapped antihydrogen.
The experimental measurements only happens when the magnetic field trap is turned off, effectively pouring atoms out of the bottle and into a vacuum chamber. Once free, an atom of antihydrogen will contact an atom of normal matter on the trap wall, and the two annihilate each other. This annihilation leaves a signal, evidence of the antihydrogen's position.
For the charge-measurement experiment, the scientists took advantage of the fact that there were strong electric fields within the trap. "If the antiatom were charged", says Joel Fajans, physicist at UC and Berkeley Lab "these fields would push the antiatom to the left side or to the right side of the trap, depending on the putative sign of antihydrogen charge." Analysis of data showed that there was no tendency for the anti-atoms to go to the left or right, implying that the atom was electrically neutral.
Fajans, Wurtele, and Marcello Baquero-Ruiz and Alex Povilus, both graduate students in the physics department at the University of California, as well as Berkeley post-doc Andre Zhmoginov, Berkeley instructor Andrew Charman, and Berkeley undergraduate Arielle Little, did much of the simulation work and modeling of the system as well as developing statistical techniques for data analysis. The data itself was collected by the entire ALPHA collaboration.
Other recent work by the Berkeley group and Francis Robicheaux at Purdue indicates that future experimental bounds could reach approximately 100 times higher precision using a technique based on an approach called stochastic acceleration.
Previously, Fajans and Wurtele were involved in ALPHA experiments to measure the microwave spectrum of antihydrogen as well as the effects of gravity on antihydrogen, which, as far as experiments can currently determine, interacts with it the same as it does hydrogen. Next up are measurements of the anti-atoms' energy levels
A better understanding of the properties of antimatter in general and anti atoms in particular is important to solving the so-called Baryogenesis problem, which essentially questions why the universe has more matter than antimatter.
"People have been trying to explain the baryogenesis problem for years without success. It seems that our current understanding is incomplete," says Fajans. "There are some possible straightforward explanations out there, but physicists wonder if the baryogenesis problem can only be explained by something more interesting or exotic. Anomalies with antihydrogen could be the answer."
This research was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Laboratory Directed Research and Development program at Berkeley Lab.

Sunday Sounds – Barb Jungr
Barb Jungr has released a new album titled "The Men I Love – The New American Songbook" she has a good track record in recording unique interpretations of modern songs which has differentiated her from many other modern jazz singers who still cling to yet more versions of older classic songs, particularily the Great American Songbook era and cataogue.
As such her product can be a bit hit and miss as some versions work and some don't probably dependant upon how closed a persons ears are to a sometimes radical reworking of a favourite song.
The studio recording of 'The Men I Love' featuring some of London's greatest musicians was released at the end of January on the very prominent and exciting Naim Label, her first after leaving the superb Linn Records.
As noted above her customary approach to arrangements of The New American Songbook, (songs by Byrne and Eno, Cohen, Dylan, Diamond and more) in collaboration with composer Simon Wallace confirms her status as a peerless interpreter of popular song, championing pop tunes as classic repertoire.
Musicians are Simon Wallace on piano, organ and synth, Frank Schaeffer on cello, Steve Watts on double bass, Paul Clarvis on percussion and Clive Bell on flutes and shakahachi.
The album was recorded in London, mixed by Christoph Bracher and features the photography of Steve Ullathorne.
You can downoad for free her version of Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" HERE
Here she performs Bruce Springsteen's "The River" which features on the album
Finally listen to her version of the Talking Heads classic "Once In A Lifetime" below

Kaid Benfield on The Greenest Building Is The One In The Right Context
Kaid Benfield of the NRDC was in Wilmington for the Greening Historic Communities Symposium to speak about how The greenest (historic) building is the one that's in the right context. He writes:
If you care about green preservation, you also have to take into account that households in centrally located properties and neighborhoods use far less energy and emit far less carbon for transportation than their counterparts in sprawl. And you have to take into account that, for many households and office buildings, carbon emissions from transportation exceed those emitted by operation of the building.
When it comes to green, whether a new or old or historic, context matters most.Benfield raised a number of points that I think are important among his " six neighborhood factors that affect the environmental performance of buildings, including historic ones. These are all backed by research:"
- Location. The centers of regions and older suburbs perform better than the fringe, even if other factors are held constant.
- Connected streets. A well-connected street network (featuring smaller blocks and lots of intersections) shortens travel distances and makes walking more feasible and pleasant. It is the single most important determinant of how much walking will take place in a neighborhood and the second most important determinant (after location) of how much driving will take place.
- Ways to get around. The more transportation choices, the better. If you're lucky enough to be within walking distance of rail transit, for example, the number of automobile trips during rush hours can be up to 50 percent lower than what would otherwise be expected under standard engineering forecasts.
- Density. As I have said before, it doesn't necessarily have to be high density to reduce driving and watershed-damaging pavement per household. We see substantial improvements in performance as we move from large-lot sprawl even to ten homes per acre; beyond 40 to 50 homes per acre, we continue to see improvements, but at reduced increments. Moderate density helps a lot.
Read the rest of another important Benfield post here.

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
A new analysis of 15 Washington Metro bus lines shows that the system has an on-time performance rate of 75 percent. That sounds good on the surface, until you realize that Metro considers a bus "on-time" when it arrives anywhere in a 9-minute window between 2 minutes early and 7 minutes late. In Metro's eyes, you can show up at a bus stop, listen to "Stairway to Heaven" in full, wait one more whole minute for the bus to arrive, and still leave "on time."
Metro's performance also takes a hit when you consider that its on-time window is far more forgiving than the industry standard. By the standard measure — 1 minute early to 5 minutes late — Metro's on-time performance falls to 61 percent on average. Even that figure fails to give an accurate picture of service quality, because it measures whether the bus itself was on time, not whether a rider arrived somewhere on time.
Consider a hypothetical situation laid out a few years ago by Michael Perkins of the Greater Greater Washington blog. Let's say you want to catch a Metro bus scheduled to arrive at 8 a.m. and you show up at the stop right at that time. If the bus arrived 2 minutes early — on-time by Metro's standards — you would have to wait for the 8:10 bus. If that bus arrived 7 minutes late — again, still technically on-time — you would wind up waiting 17 minutes for a bus.
Meanwhile, both buses would receive a perfect score from Metro in on-time performance.
Of course, the inaccuracy of the on-time metric breaks both ways. Consider another hypothetical situation. Let's say you want to catch that 8 a.m. Metro bus again. You arrive right at that time and a bus pulls up. In fact, this was the 7:50 bus running 10 minutes late, but you don't care, because you didn't wait at all and made it to your destination on time. In this case Metro fails its performance measure while making its riders perfectly happy.
The flaws of on-time performance have led some experts to advocate replacing the metric. Transit planner Jarrett Walker, for instance, has explained that some agencies focus instead on "headway maintenance" — keeping a consistent gap between buses. The idea here is not that a bus arrives at a certain time but that it arrives a certain number of minutes after the one in front of it. Knowing you can arrive at a bus stop anytime and still not wait long for the next ride is most people's idea of a high-quality transit experience.
A headway metric can help a big city, high-frequency system avoid bus bunching and make service feel frequent and reliable. For sure, there are bureaucratic hurdles to the shift: in an on-time system, drivers are the ones responsible for performance; in a headway system, managers bear the responsibility. But with GPS location data, the technical challenges of going from an on-time performance metric to a headway metric are far less daunting than they once were. It's been said that there's still time to change the road you're on.

So you've decided where you'd like to go for your extended stay overseas! You're excited to start the journey, but you know that there is a lot to do before you board the plane to your destination. Travelling internationally takes careful planning. If you plan on studying or working abroad for an extended period of time, you will most likely need a visa issued by the country you intend to travel to. To get started, here are some tips to help you when applying for a visa:
Do Your Research
Visit www.travel.state.gov. This site will provide you with all the information you'll need in order to put together a successful visa application package.
Know What You Will Need In Advance
There are different requirements for visitors from different countries around the world. Each individual is responsible for finding out what information they will need in order to successfully complete their visa application. It is likely that if you provide the wrong information, you're visa application will be denied.
Have the Correct Documents
Some information that is regularly required to secure a visa includes birth certificates, photographs, bank information, and other kinds of information that you will have to bring to your local embassy or United States consulate. Be sure to have all the specific documents that are required by the country where you will be completing your trip. It is likely that applying for a visa will take much more time if you provide incorrect information. Save time and save yourself the stress of having to make multiple visits to your local embassy.
Using these tips to prepare for your trip will ensure that you have a hassle-free stay in countries overseas.

Testimonials – Animal Communication
Shelly & Jack, Australia
Cass has helped me and Jack (Banner the name I gave him) through our journey (well sort of a journey)
Anyway Jack came from a farm where he spent most of his life (16 years). I was curious of what had happened and where he had been before. Luckily for me I found out about Cass who has had a few chats with Jack.
Jodi (Animal communication correspondence course)
Personally I have really loved the course and have well and truly got my monies worth. I also bought the 3 together which saves money. Cass is readily available and very prompt in replying to any questions I have had. Also really supportive, which I have found lovely as for me I have always felt and sensed things but not at all confident in believing it. Unlike your bigger course providers I find she has a real personal approach which is the next best thing then an in person workshop with her.
Mary and Dodger Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Thanks for helping us Cass! I am very impressed about the depth of information you got from Dodger and the fact you picked up on things I hadn't told you about and it was true!
Joyce G, QLD
In September 2009, I attended an Animal Communication workshop with Cass and had no idea what to expect. The idea of talking to animals was completely new to me and while not a total sceptic, there was a lot for me to take in. It was a fascinating day and the one thing I came away with was that we talk to animals with our hearts not our heads.
Jess, Ricard Stud, Childers, QLD, Australia
As a breeder and Trainer I have always believed that a good relationship with your local vet, feed store and Bowen therapist was so important to keeping our ponies in the best possible condition for both the show ring and pleasure. Until I met Cass. Cass has dealt with a few of my horses and ponies now and I could not be happier with the out come. I feel that she is the missing link in the chain and is always there to answer all my questions. Cass has never seen my horses and ponies before , only the photos I have sent her and she knows more about them than I could ever have imagined. I love how professional she is and explains every thing to me in such great detail. Thank u Cass for your dedicated service."
Ricard Stud, Childers, QLD, Australia
Siobhan, Gina, Morgaine, Molly and Minie, Australia
Molly and Minie are doing a lot better together now, and Minie only bugs Molly sometimes, but Molly doesn't get as stirred up as she used to (only a bit!).
Molly is a changed dog and looks a lot happier! But she does still bark a bit and gets jealous at times. She has completely stopped nipping at Morgaine's legs when we take her for walks now.
We can't thank you enough.
Lisa, Mishka, Stoli and Cooper, Victoria Point, QLD
Thanks for your help over the past few days. It's been hard and I've been bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. It was a big shock coming home the other night to see her limping but now I've prepared myself for next week and been talking to the dogs about it so we should all be more prepared for it.
Lisa and Pippa, Victoria Point, QLD, Australia
I was given a ringneck parrot named Noah 18 months ago which was someones unwanted birthday present. He had been neglected and was a very timid bird to the point that even looking at him would make him squawk. During the past 18 months I have made considerable progress but he still would try and bite me at every opportunity – especially when filling his food bowls. I also had a feeling that he was in fact a she going by certain behaviours.
Gina and Asha
I've noticed a huge difference today – she just seems so happy, and she whinnies a greeting every time she sees us, it is so good to see her like that again! Thank you!
Christie and Matty Sydney NSW, Australia
Cass performed a 'distance session' on my horse, and what she was able to tell me was simply amazing. Without reading the things she told me about my own horse, I would have never believed it – but she has certainly changed my opinion now and I will be more open-minded in the future. I highly recommend Cass to every horse owner!
Tammy and Rosie
Thanks so much again. You've made this so much easier for both of us, I don't know how to thank you :0)
Helen & Ripley, SE QLD, Australia
Hi Cass, Things with my dogs have been going quite well lately, I have been putting your spray on them every so often and there has been no aggression sessions lately…I will keep using it though, has to be a hell of a lot better for them than drugs….
Sarah and Bosco
Your kindness is so greatly appreciated and I'm so happy because Bosco seems a lot happier than the last time he had a reading done. This is such great news!
Rosie, Patsy and Bubby Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Dear Cass, I would like to thank you for all the help you have given me with my old mares, Bubby and Patsy. Thanks to you, I know they are both happy and I have learnt so much more about their personalities, especially Patsy's. The way you do listen to them proves you certainly have a gift with horses. You can not only listen to them, you are able to pick up old injuries and current problems as well! Your knowledge of what you do is astounding and I have recommended you to many people. You truly are 'The horse listener'
Thank you for all the time you've given my horses and I.
Ellie and Lad Ipswich, SE QLD, Australia
I've always been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to stuff like this, but wow, not really anymore! Wow, that is AMAZING, simply AMAZING
Peter and DeCat, Qld
Thanks to you he is on top of the world and I really appreciate your hard work.
Chiga and Robin, Tokyo, Japan
Cass, thank you for the report. I've just received it now. The report is so outstanding that I cannot put into words how I am feeling now. Now I know how much time is left for us, so I want to cherish our time together as much as I can. Thank you very much for the reading. I've tried animal communication three times in the last 2 years with different animal communicators and you are the best!
I am so happy to get to know an unique animal communicator like you. Maybe Robin has helped me finding you.

COLA to file suit against Penner
This Friday, Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin will hear an application by the People's United Party's Leader Francis Fonseca on why Elvin Penner should be investigated by the Commissioner of Police for his role in the passport issued to Won Hong Kim. That aside, COLA today brought its own pressure to bear. The firebrand organization held a press conference to announce that on Friday it will be filing suit against Penner in Belmopan. The grassroots movement says it has no money, and no attorney yet, but it is determined to do whatever is necessary to force criminal scrutiny of the former Minister of State. COLA leaders say that their organization may be small, but their will is a mighty thing.
Gilroy Usher Jr., Vice President, COLA
"The sale of Belizean passport is a crime. Some have out rightly stated nothing criminal was done by Penner. At COLA, we assert that Mister Penner committed a crime against the integrity of this nation. Now where there exist reluctance on the part of the state to take adequate action, we the members of COLA through consultation with the people, decided and will initiate a private prosecution against Elvin Penner."
Nedal MacLaren, COLA
"The Prime Minister was the first person that came out and said there will be no inquiry; that basically it is dead and finished after a couple days. And we understand Mister P.M. because in the Constitution there is a thing called collective responsible; where if one guilty, all guilty. And this is what the P.M. has been hiding behind when it comes to these ministers that he has that have been behaving inappropriately in his cabinet."
Rufus X, COLA
"What are the Belizean people doing to preserve a little piece of the jewel for their children? We noh have no will to stand up for our right? This shouldn't get this way. Penner should be forced to be arrested by the authority and taken to court long ago man. Look at the little kids in the street; we have to stop this garbage. Look at what the police can do to them. The police do to them, do to them, do to them until they end up doing to themselves. The other day, the kids of George Street were rewarded for wrongdoing. You mean the police don't know where the wrongdoing is taking place so that they can go and correct it. Where were there when Penner was contemplating crime? This man blatantly spat on the Belize people. We have to stop taking this abuse from people man. He should face jail time."
Geovanni Brackett, President, COLA
"Some people who are listening out here right now on Krem may hear me not shouting or making a rally because I want to send a sound message to the government that this issue will not rest until justice is served. We will fight, at COLA, and we will exhaust all and every single avenue until we seek justice. And so we are calling out today on any attorney—whether U.D.P. or P.U.P.; whether you just got into the Bar or you were there for fifty years—to assist us in going forward with this private prosecution."
COLA President Geovanni Brackett says they carried out their own investigation and have compiled a file of evidence against Penner which will be used to prosecute Penner. As you heard, the organization is appealing for legal assistance in the matter.

If you need to calculate the number of days between two dates, then there are a couple of options for you. There is a function called DATEDIFF being released with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Update 1 in Spring of 2015. If you have not yet received that update, then this blog will describe how to achieve this with workflow.
In this solution, we will use the native calculation of the duration on an Activity record and copy that duration to the calculated field on the target record.
Note: Experience with creating custom fields, entities, and workflows is required for this solution. Here's how we do it.
Create the necessary fields to track the dates and the date difference calculation. In this example, we will calculate the number of calendar days an opportunity was openOn opportunity, we will be using an out-of-the-box field called Created on and a custom fields called Sold date. We are also creating a custom field called Sale Cycle to capture the number of days opportunity was open. The calculation we want to make is
Sold date – Created = Sales cycle.
We have created the Sales Cycle field with a Data Type of Whole Number and a Format of Duration.
Create a new entity and check the box for 'Define as an activity entity' and publish changes. No other fields are required on this record
Create a Workflow for the Opportunity entity using the specifications in the image below
- Under Start When, select Record Field Calculating the Number of Days Between Two Dates with Workflo Changes and check Sold Date
Set the Scope to organization so that this workflow runs for entire organization, if applicable
Insert a step into the workflow, to create a Number of Days record and set properties to set the Start Date = Created On and the Due Date = Sold Date
Add a step to the workflow to update the Sales Cycle field on the Opportunity with the Scheduled Duration field on the Number of Days record
Save the workflow and Activate it. That's all folks! Now whenever a user enters value in 'Sold date', this workflow shall run and provide the number of days between Sold Date and Created on date.
The example above used the field format as Date and Time, we can keep it simple by keeping the fields format as Date Only, as well.
Make sure to stop by our main Dynamics CRM 2015 page for even more great tips and tricks!
Happy CRM'ing!

COMUNE's OFFSET skate video premiered last Saturday at the notorious Kung Pao Kitty, located on Hollywood Blvd. and Wilcox. We converted the raw industrial space into a "Dada Wasteland", complete with psychedelic lighting, video, fog machine, and Corey Smith's "Personal Pyramids" of all shapes and sizes. Check out the full story.
Doors to the event space opened at 8, and by 10 it was completely packed with standing room only. The Offset video premiered at 10:30 to a crowd of anxious viewers. Everyone was hyped on the new video, the skating, and visuals. All of which compounded what can only be described as a trippy video experience.
Once the video was over, and the applause subsided, Los Angeles's own Green & Wood performed a mind-bending heavy set of stoner metal. Green and Wood is fronted by legendary skater Ethan Fowler and includes COMUNE/Drop City contributor Magdalena Wosinska.
It's not a party unless the cops show up, and that is exactly what happened. Apparently half of Hollywood could hear Green & Woods' Orange stacks blaring. Luckily the band had made it though most of their set before Hollywood's finest officially shut us down.
The party goers thirsts' were quenched by Pabst Blue Ribbons, Zico Coconut Water and delicious Peligroso Margaritas.
COMUNE Skateboarding Contributors include:
OFFSET // Directed and Edited by Jordan Minardi and Noel Sinclair Boyt
Thanks to everyone who made it out to celebrate the launch of OFFSET. Hope you all had as much fun as we did!

We don't tend to consider computers as systems that exist within an environment. More likely, we imagine a computer within its own environment, an interior realm of memory slots, processor chips, and I/O devices. It's an old, lingering conception, but it's not that easy anymore. Computers exist in environments with other computers now, usually a vast numbers of them, and this opens the door to something unexpected: noise, whether it be in the form of a DDoS or Sybil attack or in the form of a cascading failure, a disruption within a network that threatens to wipe out larger and larger regions of that network's infrastructure as it propagates downward.
We may not think of these things as environmental noise, but a new paper out in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, courtesy of a team based at Carnegie Mellon University, invites engineers to look at the computing realm differently.
Specifically, those engineers should look at yeast. Yeast knows how to deal with environmental noise. Each individual yeast cell carries around about 6,000 genes, but only about 20 percent of those are essential in the conventional sense of, if you silence it, the cell dies. This conventional view allows us to look at the other 80 percent as non-essential genes.
That's incorrect, according to today's paper. These "extra" genes play a role outside of the cell itself: typically found nearer to the surface of cells than essential genes, they are more likely to degrade and become unusable (because of extracellular noise). Over time, the yeast cells have evolved in such a way that these genes can be lost without costing the cell its survival. That's why they're closer to the edge of the cell, where there's more environmental stress, than the genes that, say, allow for DNA duplication.

This easy Mediterranean garbanzo bean salad is infused with flavor thanks to a heaping helping of fresh herbs with a garlicky lemon dressing that ups the crunch from red bell pepper, celery and red onion for a simple side dish or topping for greens.
Are you sick of me repeating myself yet?
I've said it before and I'll likely say it 9,349 more times again: Salads are my favorite.
I'm far more tempted by a plate with a sampling of four varieties of salads than a plate of four desserts.
That's why this salad, in all of it's understated simplicity, is proof positive that eating real, whole foods doesn't have to be a complicated affair when simplicity radiates from the whole ingredients its made with.
I cannot take credit for creating this salad. It's glory in flavor and simplicity comes from one of my good blogging friends who has just authored her first cookbook, Love Real Food by Kathryn Taylor of the blog Cookie + Kate.
Some who first come across her blog assume the word Cookie in her title would mean she has a baking blog. But no. Instead, it's an homage to her best friend who sits side kick to Kathryn: Her vegetable-eating, scene-stealing, rescue dog, a 6-year old cattle dog mix who will happily sneak a sweet potato from the kitchen table as often as she enjoys sunning herself in the afternoon light.
The cookbook, like Kathryn's blog, is filled with healthy, inspiring vegetarian recipes made with real foods and ingredients that truly appeal to all walks of eaters.
Many fans are first captured by Kathryn's stunning food photography.
Then her thoughtful writing style hooks them in.
But it's Kathryn's recipes that always keep us coming back for more.
She's a stickler for perfection, and that quality is shared in her recipe development as well, where the results are well-tested recipes that are far more than just pretty pictures, they've gained her a loyal tribe of blogging and cooking fans, vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike. The proof is in the so far 100+ 5-star reviews on Amazon.
About the Recipe
Kathryn's recipe for this Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is simple in it's approach and calls for ingredients I nearly always have on hand, making it one of those recipe you can totally pull off at a moment's notice when you ask the question, "What am I going to serve with my main dish?" The bulk of the recipe comes from canned garbanzo beans, a staple I always recommend having in the cupboard. Simply drain and rinse and you're on your way.
I love the leaves plucked from fresh, crunchy celery so while Kathryn's version didn't actually call for it, I plucked the leaves from my stalks, gave them a rough chop, and added them to the salad. There really is no reason to toss them out for any dish.
The amount of chopped fresh parsley may seem like a whole lot of parsley, but that's the point! Don't skimp on the amount, or you'll be sacrificing flavor.
This salad is intended to be served on it's own, but as Kathryn suggests, it's a delicious topping for a bed of lettuces, too. Naturally, I added a few mozzarella balls to mine with an extra drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of lemon, too.

Outrageous Herbacious Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
- 2 15- ounce cans chickpeas garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley about 1 bunch
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery plus leaves about 2 ribs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 to 1 1/2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- In a large bowl, add the chickpeas, bell pepper, parsley, red onion, and celery. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and garlic, and season to taste with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the dressing to the chickpea mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately or chill up to 4 days. Before serving, add more salt and pepper to taste.

No Poo & OCM Experiment Update
At what point does an experiment become a way of life? Maybe when you stop fiddling with amounts? I may be very close to that point now. It has been since August that I started washing my hair with the No-Poo method and Diva decided to join in almost as long ago.
I have yet to find the perfect balance for both of us and have basically decided that the two of us need different mixtures. After a couple of weeks using the ratio of 1Tbs. Baking Soda to 1c. Water, my hair started to look kind of greasy at the roots so I upped the amount to more like 1/4c. soda to 1c. water but it made both mine and Diva's hair feel too dry. I have settled on about an 1/8c. soda per 1c. water for me but Diva's hair is still a little too dry so we may have to go back to the 1Tbs. ratio for her. We are still fiddling, thus keeping it an experiment for now.
I have only had commercial shampoo and conditioner on my hair twice since I started down this road. Once was when I got my hair cut and the other was when Diva used the last of the No Poo and I was already in the shower. While I was there (at the hairdresser's, not the shower), I asked the lady who has cut my hair since I was Diva's age what the condition of my hair was like.
I explained the whole experiment and was fully expecting her to say anything other than what she told me. She said that when she went to beauty school in the 70s, they used baking soda sprinkled on hair to remove the build up from all of the styling products that people used. She then grabbed a box that was near her sink and said that she still used it on people who use a lot of products.
Cool! So I'm not crazy with the soda but what about the vinegar? She also said that in beauty school, they used vinegar in place of a cream rinse; they had the same results. Then she proceed to pull out a bottle of vinegar from around her sink.
Awesome! So what is your professional opinion on the condition of my hair? She told me that my hair looked healthy and that if I didn't mind the smell (or lack thereof) then I should just keep doing what I'm doing. Fabulous!
I will say that I have never suffered from a flaky scalp before I employed this method. I am still trying to work out the best way to tackle that issue. Diva does not seem to have the same problem. Also, my hair seems to have way more static than it did before this method. I am now thinking of washing with No Poo twice a week and lye soap or castille soap once a week. Again, with the experimentation.
And as far as the Oil Cleansing Method goes, I went to the dermatologist and asked what he thought about my skin and he said it looked healthy and great. Again, he said if it is working for me then just keep on keeping on.
So there you have it from professionals that the No Poo and Oil Cleansing methods are valid. They are frugal and healthy alternatives to commercial cleansers and I will be keeping them as a way of life...as soon as I stop experimenting with them.
Have you tried the No-Poo or OCM experiments yet?

My grandmother used to use olive oil, and or mayo on my hair as a conditioner. She was a hairdresser in the 40's, and we used baking soda and vinegar when we were at her house. She used to wipe a dryer sheet over our hair and combs and brushes for both the scent and the static. I'm investigating OCM but haven't tried it yet.ReplyDelete
I have heard of using mayo as a conditioner but that gets washed out. How does the live oil not make your hair greasy? Do you wash it out? I'm intrigued. Try the OCM thing. I think you will love it.ReplyDelete

This winter has been a strange one for my skin. I came down with the flu early on, which broke my face out something terrible. While trying to heal the acne breakouts my skin began to dry out. So I needed to revive my skin's glow while I treated it. Sounds tricky but it really wasn't. I used three steps, twice a week, to help me out.
Exfoliate, Detox, and Hydrate (EDH)
I am one of many whose skin dries out while using benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is great for treating acne but it makes my skin dry and dull looking. I switched up my facial cleanser and went back to basics using Noxzema Cleansing Cream and moisturized my face with a moisturizer that does not cause breakouts. Unfortunately, that was not enough. It was then, that three complimentary skincare products from Valentia Skincare arrived, a few days apart, that I found my answer. I needed to exfoliate to remove the dry, flaky skin, detox to remove any pore clogging impurities, and hydrate to not only bring back my glow but to prevent more fine lines from popping up.
Step One: Exfoliate with Valentia Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub
I started using Valentia Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub about a week ago and instantly fell in love with it. It has jojoba beads that are suspended in a lightweight, gel-like substance that glides over skin and prevents the beads from scrubbing my face too harshly. This was important because of the scourge of acne that invaded my face. It rinsed away clean with no residue. My skin felt instantly smoother and no longer looked dull.
This instant renewal was due to the abundance of natural, skin-loving ingredients in this exfoliating scrub:
- Green and White Tea: Packed with polyphenols and potent antioxidants that provide anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-aging effects.
- Aloe Vera: This nutrient rich botanical moisturizes the skin and fights aging by improving skin firmness.
- Jojoba Beads: Gentle beads that work to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells without scratching the skin.
- Olive, Avocado & Kukui Butter: This nutrient dense trio is rich in Vitamin A, B, D, and E helps nourish, hydrate, and repair the skin while combating pro-aging free radicals.
Step Two: Detox with Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask
If you've read Fashion's Sense at all in 2015, you will know that I love making my own masks using clay powders and essential oils. Those masks are great when my skin is behaving as it should. Unfortunately, they were a bit too harsh during this particular breakout. However, Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask was nourishing enough to give me the impurity purging benefits I needed while not making my skin suffer any more than it already was.
I applied the mask to my face and left it on for 30 minutes. I did not feel the skin tightening, the pulling, that I typically feel from my homemade masks. This dried gently and has an intoxicating scent that is rather relaxing. After removing the mask, my skin looked fresher and felt clean without feeling tight. The natural ingredients in this mask gave me the gentle detox my healing skin needed:
- Kaolin Clay: Clay minerals draw impurities, improve skin tone, and tighten pores for smoother firmer skin.
- Plant Stem Cells: Naturally decreases the level of pro-aging toxins and works to soother the skin, reduce redness, and improve evenness.
- Spirulina: A botanical stimulant full of vitamins that hydrates the skins surface and contributes to tissue regeneration of the skin.
- CoQ10: Lessens the appearance of wrinkles by reducing free radical damage and stimulating health collagen production.
- Hibiscus & Cranberry Fibers: Both lend their anti-aging properties to firm and reinforce the skin, helping to reduce the creation of new wrinkles.
Step Three: Hydrate with Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask
I received the Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask first and it truly is a treat for aging skin. I was used to seeing fine lines under my eyes next to my cheeks when I wake up. They usually disappear within an hour after waking up. Recently, one pesky line decided to remain and it was freaking me out! After my first use of this mask, that pesky line disappeared. Right there I was sold on its hydrating and plumping abilities.
I don't use this mask all over anymore. I use it around my eyes, forehead and the fine lines around my mouth and over my lips. Yes, my lips. It has helped to make my lips smoother and softer. This mixes skincare science and nature together for the perfect skin plumping mask:
- Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend: These natural miracles increase moisture content and help in the production of collagen and elastin which decreases the appearance of visible lines.
- Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: Penetrates deep into the skin to secure moisture and plump skin from within.
- Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil: An anti-aging wonder berry that results in fewer fine lines, diminished sun spots, more even skin tone, and firmer more supple skin.
- Japanese Green Tea: Contains catechins that provide anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant effects to the skin.
- Aloe Vera: This botanical moisturizers skin and fight aging by improving skin firmness.
Final Thoughts About the Valentia Skincare Trifecta
I rarely have 100-percent positive things to say about a product. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about any of these three products. So, to answer the question in the title. Can three easy steps revive your healthy glow? If you use this Valentia Skincare trio, they can.
I completely recommend at least trying these three products out. If you can only afford to try one of these, hands down, I recommend trying the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask this winter.
I received a sample(s) of the product(s) to keep for consideration in preparing this content.


text: An historic Greek Revival farmhouse provided an administrative base for the congregation while the location of services moved around the Upper Valley. The decision to return worship services to the farmhouse reinvigorated the congregation and there was a clear need for an expanded meeting house. The addition was modeled on the classic New England extended farmhouse, ell and barn. The renovated farmhouse serves as administrative, meeting and educational space, the ell provides entry, bathrooms and kitchen and the barn serves as sanctuary space seating 120. High window sills shield the congregation from the road while glazed doors lead to an event lawn and provide views of the forested hillside. Fir trim, timber trusses, and oak floors bring a warm tone to the spare, light filled volume. The sanctuary acoustics were designed to optimize speech and music. Superior levels of insulation and air sealing, triple glazing and future photovoltaic panels minimize operating costs and are intended to bring the building close to net zero energy use. Spare detailing, respect for the historic farmhouse and commitment to environmental goals reflect the values of the congregation.
