Businesses and individuals who are dealing with real estate matters often find that they need to work with experienced real estate attorneys to advise them on the important decisions they are faced with. In the Miami area, Santiago J. Padilla and his team of legal professionals have advised hundreds of clients regarding commercial and residential real estate acquisitions in Florida and around the region. Mr. Padilla has represented real estate investors, developers, businesses, lenders and individuals through his real estate law practice.
An Attorney For Residential And Commercial Real Estate Transactions
Issues that may come up in commercial or residential real estate transactions include:
- Title issues. An unresolved lien or judgment might be unearthed during a search of public records. Having title insurance can cover a buyer regarding unforeseen problems with the title.
- Letters of intent. It is important for commercial real estate investors to have a solid letter of intent that sets out the obligations of the parties involved in the transaction.
- Purchase agreements. These generally differ from case to case.
- Commercial lease agreements. Because of their frequently long-term nature, it is imperative that parties understand the terms of a commercial lease agreement, as it can impact their ventures for many years to come.
Residential Real Estate Closings
Residential real estate transactions involve the purchase of residential property. The purchase of a home usually represents one of the largest investments that individuals make, often causing residential real estate closings to be quite hectic. Therefore, both buyers and sellers need to be adequately prepared.
Mr. Padilla highly advises buyers to engage an attorney very early in the transaction process, even as they are hunting for a home in Miami or elsewhere. Indeed, contracts may need to be signed early in the transaction. In addition, sellers should also engage an attorney early in the sale transaction. In fact, when a seller lists property in the multiple listing service, the real estate agent will usually require the seller to enter into a listing agreement, which may restrict to whom the person may sell the property. These contracts contain legal obligations that need to be reviewed by a real estate lawyer.
The Real Estate Contract and Closing Process
When a buyer is ready to make an offer on a property, it is important to obtain the advice of a real estate lawyer. This is the stage during which the obligations of the parties are established, including:
- The price
- The terms of the purchase, such as whether the property is being bought "as-is"
- Whether the seller will offer guarantees
- Whether there will be a repair limit on the items the seller will need to repair
Also, the residential real estate contract provides a timeline for the closing, allocates who pays for what items in the closing process, sets forth the time allowed for certain events and includes contingencies, such as what happens if the buyer cannot obtain financing.
Property inspections are an important aspect of the real estate transaction. If the purchase contract is an "as-is" contract, then the inspections will generally be the buyer's chance to make a final assessment of the property. If the seller provides guarantees, then the inspection report will reveal the items that need to be repaired and the estimated cost of the repairs.
The buyer's attorney will also perform a title and lien search and request a survey. The buyer's attorney or the title company will schedule a closing date and coordinate the closing. The closing is then conducted by the closing attorney, documents are signed, funds are exchanged, and the transaction is finalized by placing the deed, mortgage and other documents on public record.
The transaction concludes with the issuance of the title insurance policy to the purchaser (usually within 30 to 45 days after closing) and the receipt by the seller of the canceled mortgage loan documents along with any escrow account money.
Title Insurance
Mr. Padilla is an agent of Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, one of the largest title insurance underwriters in the United States. Title insurance protects homebuyers from financial loss and hardship related to unknown judgments and liens, forged transfers, inconsistencies involving a property's title or misapplication of fiduciary funds.
Once the purchase contract has been signed by both parties, our staff searches public records to look for any problems with the home's title. This search typically involves a review of land records going back at least 21 years. Approximately one-third of all searches reveal a title problem. For example, the prior owner may have had renovations performed on the property, but never fully paid the contractor. Or the prior owner may have failed to pay local or state taxes. We seek to resolve problems like these before the closing.
Nevertheless, on occasion, title problems occur that simply cannot be found from a diligent search of public records, such as an unrecorded easement or an aerial encroachment that was missed by the surveyor. This is when a title insurance policy protects the buyer.
Commercial Real Estate Transactions
Commercial transactions involving the purchase of commercial real property are very different from residential real estate transactions. Not only can they be more complex, but many of the rules applicable to residential real estate transactions do not apply to commercial transactions.
One of the biggest differences between residential real estate transactions and commercial real estate transactions is that most commercial buyers are using a business entity to acquire the property, whereas in residential transactions, most buyers will purchase property in their own name, especially if they are husband and wife. Furthermore, title examination and due diligence will also be more complex. For example, in a commercial transaction, a survey must show not only boundaries, but also easements and servitudes, rights of way and other features of the property that may not be relevant for a residential transaction. An experienced commercial real estate attorney helps ensure that the buyer's interests are protected at every stage of the transaction, and helps avoid problems down the road.
Most commercial real estate purchase transactions involve the following:
- Negotiating and drafting a letter of intent
- Conducting due diligence to make sure that the property meets the buyer's intended purpose
- Obtaining municipal permits or approvals
- Obtaining financing
- Closing the transaction
Significant to most commercial real estate transactions is negotiating the financing documentation and closing the joint venture agreements, financing and acquisition agreements.
Letter of Intent
The letter of intent (LOI) for commercial real estate transactions is a highly complicated legal document. However, in many cases the LOI is extremely valuable and provides a basis for determining how far apart the parties are on fundamental aspects of the transaction. Issues that it needs to address include:
- Whether the buyer may assign the agreement
- The time period for performing due diligence and other inspections
- When the earnest money will become nonreimbursable
- Which party will pay for the costs of the transaction
The above listing is a sample. An experienced commercial real estate lawyer can draft a LOI addressing the legal issues applicable in a given transaction.
Purchase Agreements, Due Diligence and Environmental Assessments
In Florida, real estate purchase agreements are usually drafted on standardized forms. An experienced commercial real estate attorney should review these forms and make modifications depending on the interests of the buyer and seller. However, in many sophisticated commercial real estate transactions, the purchase agreement is specifically drafted for the transaction, normally by counsel for the buyer.
In most cases, a commercial real estate purchase agreement provides a due diligence period during which the buyer evaluates the property to determine whether it meets the intended use. Due diligence includes performing a survey and an environmental assessment. The survey will be one of the bases for determining what use the buyer may make of the property. As such, most surveys for commercial properties ought to show all easements of record, all setbacks and all encroachments, including aerial encroachments of antennas, electrical boxes and so forth.
An environmental assessment evaluates the potential environmental risks. It should be conducted in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials and standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Purchasers of commercial real estate must also be cautious when purchasing rental real estate, especially if the real estate has a personal guaranty of the tenant that is renting the property. In the typical case, the buyer is interested in purchasing the commercial property especially because there is a corporate tenant with a long-term lease and the shareholders of the corporate tenants have signed a personal guaranty securing all of the obligations under the lease agreement. The buyer, however, must consider that the personal guaranty may become void and unenforceable if it does not contain the appropriate language.
Specifically, under Florida law, whether or not a guaranty is enforceable by assignees of the principal requires us to determine what type of guaranty it is. The law distinguishes between types of guaranties. The various types of guaranties to be considered include general vs. special; conditional vs. absolute and continuing. A "general guaranty" may be enforced by any party to whom it is presented. A "special guaranty" is one addressed to a particular person, firm, or corporation. An "absolute guaranty" is one that does not attach conditions for enforcement. A "conditional" guaranty is one which is not enforceable until certain conditions precedent have been met. A "continuing guaranty" is one that remains in effect until revoked.
When a guaranty by its language runs only to one person or entity, and not to any of its heirs, successors and/or assigns, then that guaranty is a "special guaranty." Generally, in order for a guaranty to be a "general guaranty," it must contain "successors and/or assigns" language after the name of the principal or party to whom the guaranty is designed to benefit. This is important because under Florida law, a special guaranty is usually not assignable. A special guaranty becomes unenforceable if it is assigned. However, a general guaranty is assignable and enforceable by assignees of the principal.
Yet, there are certain exceptions to these general rules that have been carved out by the courts. First, Florida courts have stated that a "special guaranty" will be enforceable by an assignee of the principal whenever the assignment was shown to have been made after a breach giving rise to the liability. Second, courts in other states have held that a guaranty with language that is very generalized is a "general guaranty" because of the broad sweep of the commitment provided.
Condominium Development
Mr. Padilla's real estate practice also involves condominium development, which deals with advising clients in connection with new residential, commercial and mixed-use condominium projects. Such projects usually encompass a wide array of legal areas, including land use, construction, financing, contracts and condominium law. Over the last 10 years, Mr. Padilla has worked on several condominium development projects, acting as developer's counsel, reservation agent and project counsel.
Condominium Conversions and Florida Law
Mr. Padilla is also involved in representing clients that are undertaking condominium conversion projects. These projects involve turning existing residential or commercial developments into condominium projects. Condominium conversions in Florida have grown significantly over the last 10 years, so much so that the Florida legislature has provided certain rules with which a developer must comply.
For example, tenants of an existing residential building have the right to remain on the property for almost a year after receiving notice of conversion. Prospective developers need to take these rules into account. Under Florida law, a developer that wants to convert a residential apartment building into a condominium must comply with the Condominium Act and, in particular, Section 718.101 et seq., Florida Statutes, which includes recording the declaration of the condominium and granting to the purchaser of each unit an implied warranty of fitness and merchantability. The creation of the real property condominium ownership form is achieved when the developer complies with Part I of the Condominium Act.
A developer may also need to establish an association for the condo owners. With Mr. Padilla's experience in condo development, he and his partners are able to draft association bylaws and advise developers about their obligations and rights in setting one up.

What You Need to Know About SD-WAN
Is this solution all cloud based or is there something installed at the branch?
There is an SD-WAN appliance installed at the branch called an Edge. There is a range of appliance sizes. VeloCloud also sells a virtual software version of the Edge (a VNF) to service providers for instantiation on a general purpose virtual CPE. A virtual Edge for Enterprises will be available mid-2017.
Edges can be installed at all sizes of branches, as well as in headquarter and data center locations. Appliances vary in throughput capacity as well as tunnel capacity especially important for Edges provisioned at hub sites.
How do I size the appliance at the branch and data center?
How does this solution support my application workloads in the cloud?
In addition to the Edges for SD-WAN performance, security and ease of management benefits between enterprise sites, cloud hosted Gateways provide the exact same benefits directly to cloud destinations such as SaaS and IaaS. Edges can utilize the network of hosted Gateways as a service on a simple subscription basis.
Enterprise site to site traffic does not require nor is typically configured to traverse a cloud Gateway.
Does all my traffic have to go through the cloud?
Does this replace all private circuits? Or must the site have a private line?
SD-WAN provides the flexibility to support hybrid WAN connectivity combining private with public Internet broadband circuits or pure Internet connected sites. Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization ensures that the different WAN circuits with their performance and capacity are optimally and automatically used to provide assured application performance.
How is application performance assured over best effort broadband links?
Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization includes three critical capabilities for assuring application performance. Continuous monitoring of link performance including packet loss, latency and jitter, as well as capacity provides the real-time information to protect against brownouts and blackouts. Dynamic application steering will direct flows on a per application and packet basis across the optimal links. On-demand remediation with error correction and jitter buffering will address degradations that cannot be steered around. The end result is engineered performance even over best effort links.
Is this a hub and spoke architecture or is branch to branch traffic supported?
Both hub to spoke and dynamic branch to branch traffic with full Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization and VPN features are supported.
By default, all site to site enterprise traffic is uniformly encrypted independent of the underlying transport, while Internet bound traffic is not. However, with one-click policy adjustments these defaults can be changed.
Is all my traffic encrypted, including over the private line?
Can I still use my existing firewalls?
The built-in application aware firewall can be used, or the Edge can co-exist with existing firewalls. In the branch, the Edge would typically be deployed on the WAN side of the firewall and be responsible for the site to site VPN. Additionally, the one-click application aware service chaining capability enables forwarding of traffic to more centralized enterprise regional hubs or cloud provider POPs for firewall and security services.
VeloCloud Edges may be placed inline, for example at small branch sites, to directly receive traffic and forward via various tunnels depending on business policies as well as application performance objectives. Edges may also be deployed off-path, using standard routing protocols to interact with the underlay routing system to attract selected traffic.
How is traffic inserted into the SD-WAN overlay?
What are the benefits of a cloud based Orchestrator?
The Orchestrator provides the benefit of centralized control and visibility, all in one GUI, without the need for any device by device CLI configuration. Additionally, the Orchestrator is provided as a cloud based service accessible from any browser enable device.

Balayage "Singles"—The Technique For Natural Ash Summer Blondes
Balayage "Singles"—The Technique For Natural Ash Summer Blondes
Real talk, even though balayage is popular all year long, you have more clients than ever coming in right now requesting the technique—and they want to be lighter, brighter and blonder. But, how do you eliminate warmth at the root? How do you reach the ash blonde level? And, how do minimize that dreaded line of demarcation?
We talked with BTC team member Jamie Sea (aka @prettylittleombre) and Redken artist + balayage expert Lori Zabel (@lorizabel) for their take on creating bright, natural-looking summer blondes. Their answer? A balayage technique that includes even saturation and doesn't have a specific direction of brightness. Scroll down for the details!
Products Used
OK, so you're seeing warmth at the root. Here's why:
- You're using a V, W, or slanted placement pattern (aka painting for an intentional direction of brightness). This results in warmer, diffused roots, and isn't ideal for a client who wants to go bright all over.
- You're blending the lightener too much at the root, and when you blend the product, you remove some of the lightener.
Here's How To Fix It:
If the desired end result is to be blonde from roots to ends, the same amount of product needs to be applied over the entire section of hair.
- Jamie breaks it down like this:
- Use a single balayage placement technique that applies even coverage/saturation from roots to ends.
- This creates a highlight effect that looks much more natural than a traditional foil highlight, and it will eliminate hard lines of demarcation when growing out.
- Lori balayages the same way and uses this analogy when teaching:
- Think about icing a cake. When it's complete, you don't want to see any of the cake, only the icing—so make the "icing" (lightener) thick enough all over.
- The same goes for painting single sections of hair—the lightener needs to be thick enough from the very top of the section to the very bottom. This ensures even lightening.
Choosing Your Products + Maintaining Blondes
- Consider timing and the end result when choosing a lightener, says Lori. Redken's Free Hand Blonde Idol is a good option for balayage because it offers six levels of lift, a smooth consistent texture and stays put after it's applied—perfect for the open-air technique above!
- Set clients up for success by teaching them how to maintain their blonde at home. Lori uses Redken pH-Bonder in her formulas to protect strands during the process, then she sends them home with pH-Bonder Step 3. Instruct them to apply the product to lightened strands, leave on for 10 minutes, then jump in the shower and shampoo it out.
- Give your client a cool-toned look with the new Shades EQ Natural Ash range, which have black to gray backgrounds with blue/violet reflect. Use the range to correct yellow undertones and keep her soft and balanced.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice reviews ( 7 )
This game is f**kin nuts! I don't know where to start, graphics are absolutely amazing, you can see every pore on Senua's face, the paint on her skin, every hair. The story is very immersive, they tied it with mythology, so you can learn some things along.
No se necesita más que una pequeña hojeada para poder saborear esta pequeña obra de arte. un contenido espectacular, una temática de puta madre, visualmente extremadamente generoso, y como si fuera poco auditívamente perfecto
Ninja Theory gives exactly what they promised! Epic story, beautiful visuals, triple a quality. Great experience especially for this price! I really recommend checking out the dev diaries on youtube before jumping into the game, so you could appreciate the game even more.
A amazing video game, where the narration & the gameplay did find a very good balance. The theme is hard, but well managed. The combat system is impressive and immersive, even if not original, it takes you in another world, where you try to survive against your body & your mind. I strongly recommand this game, except if you are a sensitive person and/or fear darkness.
Short but very good game. It's more a playable movie than a game. The visual, the concept, the ambientation and sounds are spetacular. The fights and puzzles is a downside for this game, as it is very repetitive and boring. Downsides apart, i do recommend the game for it's beauty.
It's really sad how a game can never really have a "full package", barring some extremely rare cases. Senua's Sacrifice brings two things to the table: atmosphere and a fairly original approach to storytelling. The melancholic environments and breathtaking sound design all complement your experience of being inside the head of a psychologically disturbed woman who is the game's protagonist. However, the experience is the only thing that's good in the game, and there's not much quality gameplay to speak of. Honestly, with a game titled "Hellblade" and coming from creators of DmC and Heavenly Sword, I expected a fast paced action game in that vein. Sadly, the combat in this game mostly reminds me of that found in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey or Ryse: Son of Rome. Put simply, once you've played through the first combat encounter, you've seen all that the game has to offer in that regard. You're free to button-mash your way through the enemies, adopting specific tactics for special enemy types, and that's it. No flashy combos, no upgrades, no varied weapons or fighting styles, just your longsword, dodges, parries and such a lack of any sense of impact that hitting an enemy feels no different from slashing the air. The same goes for puzzles, which all come down to lining up runes and patterns. These do nothing to make you think creatively and I found them to just be detracting from the flow and the immersion. Ultimately, the game would have fared much better if it adopted a more narrative approach and either scrapped combat altogether or made it sparser and riskier, thus putting greater accent on the game's permadeath mechanic which, frankly, may as well not even be in the current game given how easy it is. Is this a bad game? No, but it is far from good either. If you want a good one-time experience such as The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, or just want to feast your eyes on the graphics and the latest motion capture technology, then this game is for you. On the other hand, if you want challenging combat or captivating puzzles, you will only be disappointed.
I can just copy & paste this from previous reviews. Interesting enough story, looks nice enough, but very little gameplay worth mentioning. Combat is a snoozefest once you learn a set of actions to take for each different kind of enemy. The puzzles, if you can call them that, mostly just involve running around trying to match patterns against the world you're in, over and over and over and over. You spend more time in this game trying to find these irritating shapes than doing anything else. That or changing the world by running through portals to open paths or doors. Abandoned after 5 hours of the same thing. Save yourself the money and just watch a walkthrough on youtube if you want to see the story. Its not worth it for the gameplay

Just a Few Minutes From Home!
There are times when it's uplifting to join with a mass of people, doing the same thing at the same time.
I guess it brings out some tribal group instincts, but honed to greater or at least more modern causes.
A political demonstration can generate a surge of camaraderie.
Many people who attend funerals of Torah luminaries (lehavdil) report a strong emotion as they move with the massive crowd.
Sports attract large crowds to games with... large crowds. Being a part of that mass of humanity in the stands, supporting the home team, is a factor in why so many turn out for the game.
However, I don't really enjoy nature with a crowd.
So on Yom Ha'atzmaut, and indeed on most public holidays in Israel, it can be challenging to find a beautiful spot, which is also quiet.
The national parks are crammed with The People and the access roads are often jammed with traffic.
However, I have often noticed that, just a short hop from the crowds, off the main parks and tracks - you can still find solitude in awesome locations.
This year, we traveled a few minutes out of Bet Shemesh to the sweeping hills surrounding Moshav Aviezer.
We hiked for hours in the stunning rugged countryside, enjoying the protected nature, watching eagles swoop, and feeling the fresh wind on our faces.
The ruined tower (described on the map as an oil press, and pictured above) afforded particularly spectacular views.
And the whole time, we barely saw another person...
Maybe see you there next year?

Those in the market for a new fight stick might want to give these deals a look!
Video game retailer, GameStop, is hosting a bit of a sale on popular fight sticks when purchased with the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11.
GameStop is bundling the HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai in various colors with Mortal Kombat 11 at a $20 discount. This applies to the premium edition as well, so those wanting to maximize their purchase will find it well worth it. The HORI RAP 4 Kai is a solid fight stick at an even more solid price. This discount should make it all the more appealing. You can learn all about the HORI RAP 4 Kai in our Shoryuken review here. Unfortunately, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch players are left without a fight stick bundle.
While not being exclusively bundled, GameStop is also featuring a discount on the Razer Panthera EVO when purchased with Mortal Kombat 11 for PlayStation 4, lowering the price to $179.99. This offer is applied when both items are placed within your cart. The Razer Panthera EVO brings new improvements to aesthetics with its easily swappable art function, but also made itself bit harder to modify by losing its easy to open case. All in all, it's still a rather impressive fight stick, and any discount is worth noting! You can read all about the Razer Panthera EVO in our Shoryuken review here. The previous Razer Panthera and Razer Atrox are also on sale but are not a part of the same promotion and are limited to in-store only.
To make either purchase complete, on top of gaining beta access to Shao Kahn by pre-ordering Mortal Kombat 11, GameStop is also giving away an exclusive tin and Scorpion themed neck wrap for valid pre-orders. Mortal Kombat 11 releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 23.

text: One of Astali's signature pieces, this exotic bracelet is made from authentic African Snake Vertebrae, strung on brown leather cord, and finished with a brass lobster clasp. Equally stunning on men or women. Color ranges in shades of tan to dark brown. The snake vertebrae beads originate in rural Africa. The snakes are consumed as food and their vertebrae are then used in divination rituals. It is believed the beads represent the bones of their ancestors. Astali strives to respect their origin by breathing new life into something that might otherwise be discarded.

Ironically, for truck drivers not drinking enough is as dangerous as drinking too much.
Confused? The answer to this riddle is hydration. Proper hydration is necessary to keep your brain able to make good judgments and operate the vehicle. A new study suggests that dehydration impairs truck drivers as if they have been drinking alcohol, Fleet Owner reports.
Researchers in the U.K. used a driving simulator to test male driver's abilities. Those at normal hydration levels made 47 driving errors. When the volunteers were mildly dehydrated, they committed 101 errors, doing things like drifting out of their lane, sometimes over the center line, and braking too late.
Truckers are thought to be especially vulnerable to dehydration. Many drivers, under time pressures, deliberately avoid drinking water to minimize bathroom breaks. Hours in the trucks's air conditioning and large amounts of caffeine may also contribute to dehydration.
For those concerned that their mental abilities might be affected, signs of mild dehydration include:
- Dry, sticky mouth
- Sleepiness or fatigue
- Decreased urine output
- Dry skin
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
The color of your urine is perhaps the most objective way to tell whether you are dehydrated. Dark yellow or amber-colored urine usually means dehydration. Clear or lightly colored urine means you are fine.
Truck driving is a potentially dangerous job. Truckers can suffer injury in a crash, or they can develop chronic conditions after years of performing their duties. Injured truckers may qualify for workers' compensation to help them pay their medical bills, make up for lost wages and other expenses.

Individual training sessions are one hour in duration, conducted one-on-one with your trainer.

Good Sports Program
We are a Good Sports Level 3 accredited club.
Sporting clubs such as ours play a significant role in the community and have a responsibility to our members and their families.
We have chosen to join over 6,500 clubs across Australia taking part in the Australian Drug Foundation's Good Sports program. Through Good Sports we are committed to managing alcohol responsibly and ensuring smoke free areas, which we believe will help us to provide a healthy, safe and family friendly environment.
Through Good Sports we aim to:
Eliminate risky drinking in the club through the promotion of a responsible approach to the sale and consumption of alcohol in the club
Protect juniors and other young people from the misuse of alcohol in and around the club
Provide a responsible smoke-free club environment, through designated smoking areas
At Level 3, we are committed to:
Not selling or consuming alcohol without an appropriate liquor license
Training our bar staff in Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)
Ensuring smoke free areas are available
Organising safe and responsible social events and finding alternate prizes/fundraiser, rather than alcohol
Thinking ahead and ensuring players and members get home safely after functions
Formalising and implementing our club's alcohol management policy
Speak to our club committee about what being a Good Sports club is all about or visit www.goodsports.com.au or www.Facebook.com/GoodSportsClubs
As part of our accreditation by the Good Sports Organisation we have implemented a number of policies as recommended by them. These policies relate to our supply and control of alcohol, the creation of a 'Smoke Free' environment and the assistance to any of our people who may not be in suitable condition to drive a motor vehicle
A full description of these various policies is set out on the documents listed below:
Alcohol Management.
Although alcohol does not feature prominently in our various activities, we nevertheless make it available at various parent functions.
Our club is committed to ensuring that not only do we provide alcohol responsibly we do it in full compliance with laws and statutes.
Safe Transport Policy
We recognise that our membership is highly responsible and the likihood of ever having to comply with this policy is quite remote.
Nevertheless we are committeed to ensuring that no person attending one of our functions would ever be permitted to drive a motor vehicle if they were not completely capable of doing so and were not in full compliance with the Law.
Smoke Free Policy
Under the conditions of our tenancy agreement relating to the buildings we use, we are compelled to provide a totally 'smoke free' environment. This requirement has been in place for many years and most people would be aware of it.
What is not widely known however is that there is also a law which prevents anyone who is smoking from being wiithin 10 metres of an oval perimeter fence.
We respectfully ask our members who are smokers to comply with this requirement.

Hi There!
Let's start the week with a humble pen! I came across with those pens in a small stationery store in my old neighborhood in Istanbul. There were two colors when I get them. But actually there are more, like red, orange or pink. This is sure a futuristic pen of Pilot.
Vortex is a compact fountain pen. It has a short body and a long cap compared to the body. Cap is made of clear plastik so you can see the nib through.
Clips has an original design and every clips has a colored centered matching with the body. I cannot say it is an elegant one but for sure it is quite compatible with the fountain pen itself.
Vortex has a long plastic grip setion and a steel nib. You can completely disassemble the pen however I do not recommend doing it too often as the plastic parts might get cracked after a while.
Okay! One interesting thing, when I searched online, this pen seems to use original Pilot cartridges. However, the pens I own, came with a standart cartridge inside. I put them in and so far, I have no problem. Pilot sometimes do that. They can lauch same pen in two version. One is accepting original cartridges and the other takes standart ones, as in Metropolitan/MR. Therefore, it is not a surprise.
Pilot Vortex fountain pen has a smooth nib. With a little operation it also writes very wet now. Ink on the top is a pink from an assorted international cartridge packet. The one at the bottom is Kaweco Ruby Red with a little black ink in it.
What do you think about futuristic pen designs?

Benefits Of Carnatic Music
For you to become the amazing speaker you know you can be, you have to start performing, not presenting. You have to start connecting to the words, stories and topics you are speaking about before your audience will connect to them. This doesn"t mean you have to ride into your presentation on a unicycle juggling bowling balls (although, if you can... why not?). It does mean that you have to change your mindset from presenter to performer. The group"s eponymous, four-track EP also features Enzo Penizzotto (bass) and Thommy Price (drums) - the dynamic rhythm section for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. To prevent the children in the wrong game, click Start, type Parental Controls and press Enter. Select the child user account, and then click Games.

First (sort of) week of NaNoWriMo is complete! And I didn't totally fail yet!
With an easy start to the week, I was able to write a lot on the first day, which brought me about half a day ahead right away. But with a busier mid-week (out of town on the 2nd, working on the 3rd) I wrote almost nothing. Then on Friday, I had some time after working on school assignment and wrote over my daily 1,667, then dominated today and almost caught myself up to the 8,335 I should be at.
As a writer, I've been able to write at a pretty consistent 500-1,000 word session on the regular, with my record being 6,000 in a day (maybe I can do that again on a nice long day off this month???). I knew that I could do 1,667 words in a day easily, but having the time to do so is the trick with a busy schedule. So knowing that I would have days with 0 words, I knew I'd have to make it up with higher word counts on days that I could write. Hopefully this strategy will get me to 50,000 by the 30th—so far, I'm not too far behind.
Words Written:
November 1st – 2,257
November 2nd – 0
November 3rd – 520
November 4th – 1,862
November 5th – 2,479
Total Weekly Words: 7,108
Where I Should Be: 8,335
My novel is about a girl going missing and a town (told from seven perspectives) in search of her, alternating between two timelines: one before she went missing and one after she's been missing a while and a second event shakes the town once again. So far it's been going well, the only trick is keeping the timelines straight and making it all work in one coherent story. Outlining all October really helps with that.
Anyway, I'm having a great time with NaNoWriMo and I'm excited it's going well so far!

Why we think this is a classy wine to drink
- This is Sangiovese royalty from the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino region, and the wonderdful Argiano winery which has been making wines in this area for centuries: their main villa was built in 1580!
- Giacomo Tachis, known for SuperTuscan wines Sassicaia and Tignanello, is intimately involved in winemaking at Argiano. This Brunello wine was matured for 4 years before release - 12 months in small oak barrels to impart structure, 12 months in large Slavonic oak to settle the wine and further time in bottle.
- Awarded 96 points by James Suckling and 93 points by Wine Enthusiast. James Suckling noting "Fantastic aromas of orange peel and dark berry with plenty of plum and cherry. Sweet tobacco and mushrooms. Full body, juicy and fruity with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Complex and gorgeous. Fine and very long".
- Destined to cellar well for 15+ years if you can hold back.
- This wine is made to accompany rich dishes - try strong red meat dishes, heavier poultry dishes or rich cheese.
Awards and Ratings
96 points - James Suckling
93 points - Wine Enthusiast
About The Winery
The Argiano winery is located south of the town of Montalcino in the heart of Tuscany, Italy.
Argiano has been making wine in the region for centuries. Around 1580 its impressive Renaissance villa was built, with accompanying wine cellar.
Over the years, the 'cantina' and the villa regularly changed hands, but Argiano continued to play a role in wine history. For example, in 1967 the house was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Brunello wines. Under the leadership of Countess Noemi Maroni Cinzano, numerous technological innovations have been implemented since 1992: the renowned oenologist Giacomo Tachis, known from Sassicaia and Tignanello, was attracted and helped with developing, among others, the Solengo and Suolo wines.
Since the beginning of 2013 the winery has been owned by a Brazilian businessmen, but Professor Tachis is still involved with the dedicated team of winemakers.

The knitting, spinning, cooking, and running ramblings of a Libran. Whatever shall I do first?
Saturday, January 12, 2008
My, How Time Flies!
The trip to my parents was preceded by a period of extremely low energy, which made thinking and performing other daily activities a bit difficult. This in turn created a bit of anxiety, because I still had to buy and wrap presents for my youngest nephew and nieces. However, Ka-BOOM! once again came to my rescue. They have the best toys (high quality and designed for imaginative play), arranged by age appropriateness, no less. After scoping out the offerings, I made quick call to consult with my mother, and made my purchases. Three gifts for kids aged 2, 5, and 6 bought in less than an hour! It doesn't get any better than that! To give you an idea of how late I was with the gift acquisition, we were on the road an hour and a half later.
Why yes, Procrastination is my middle name. Why do you ask?
We had a very enjoyable, but too brief stay with my parents. Everyone came to dinner and the kids made it high energy. I must say that Carl and Laurie have done an excellent job of raising well-mannered children. Their presents were sitting on the hearth, and not once did they ask anyone about them. They seemed rather surprised, in fact, when we handed them out. Do you know many young children like that?
I was surprised, too, when my sister-in-law Barbara handed me a gift bag. For me? I reached inside and pulled out this:
If you look carefully, you can see that the ball band says Plymouth Yarn Royal Cashmere. I was flabbergasted. Cashmere! This is definitely a yarn that I would not buy for myself. It was a very thoughtful gift. Thanks again, Barbara! I've already started daydreaming about scarf designs.
Knitting Progress
There's been a bit of knitting activity chez Libran and in fact, there's almost a finished object! But before that, there was frogging. The second Gentleman's Fancy Sock bit the dust. Or at least most of it did. I had the brilliant idea of inserting the needles at the point where I wanted to the ripping to stop:
After they were in place, I let 'er rip!
The technique worked almost perfectly. I had to make a few minor adjustments, but it worked! And then I discovered that I didn't have 2.25mm needles. Time find another project to take on the trip to my parents house.
I pulled out my ball of Fibra Natura Heaven to start the hat for my friend Heidi. Given that I didn't have her head measurements and wasn't sure that I was going to have quite enough yarn, I opted for a top-down method and discovered I really like working hats top down. Here's what I have so far, modeled by my trusty iron:
The hat was a little too plain with just stockinette and the standard ribbing seemed to be too dull. I came across the Crystal and Pearl lace pattern in Barbara Walker's A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns and thought that it would make the perfect edging with just one repeat, followed by 1x1 ribbing on smaller needles. Here's the lace detail:
The best part about top-down hats is that you can try them on as you go. This hat is a bit loose on me and it covers my ears. I had a friend at work try it on, and it was somewhat tight on her and barely covered the tips of her ears. I definitely need to have a fitting session with Heidi before finishing it off. I predict that the hat will be finished this weekend.
The 2.25mm needles finally arrived, and I'm slowly cruising towards the foot of the second sock. I predict the pair will be complete by the end of the month.
Unfortunately the weekend does not promise a lot of knitting time. The herd of dust buffalo needs to be culled and we're spending the day in DC tomorrow, visiting museums, restaurants, and finishing up with a concert at the Kennedy Center.
Have a great weekend!

Note to self: Tell Future SIL that cashmere makes a nice gift.
I just love that hat! The iron models it rather well, I think.
- Mia said...
You were just making sure that you didn't give the kids anything that Santa might have brought them is all. See there was a plan.
And the Plymouth cashmere is wonderful. You will enjoy it.

In the current issue of SM, Kate Fryer, head of ethical print procurement at Ink Print Management, argues for closer working between business functions to improve ethical buying.
"Taking the lead with marketing when you have so much more in-depth product knowledge then becomes easy. If you can demonstrate you can make improvements without a huge price tag, everyone gets excited, especially at the top. My MD has made it part of the company mission to be the most ethical print buying agency in the world. I think he's even more keen than I am - he's always chasing me for updates and wants to get "hands on". This inspires those around you and cascades through the supply chain and customers will seek you out."

Why do children have baby teeth?
Primarily to hold space for the permanent teeth to come in properly. They provide for a start for good nutrition. Most importantly, they are imperitive for speech development and self esteem. When one is lost prematurely, the next one may not be ready to take its place. Most importantly, the permanent teeth are generally larger and require much more space than the baby teeth.
Here is a list of things that you may consider when seeking dental care for your children and why they may be losing their teeth too soon.
1. Dental decay
Teeth lost too early due to dental decay can cause major disruptions to the permanent teeth. They can actually spread decay causing bacteria to other teeth. Continual sipping on beverages and snacking on refined carbohydrates create food for the bacteria.
2. Trauma
It is heartbreaking when a child falls and prematurely loses a tooth due to an accident. Whether the tooth completely comes out early or has nerve damage due to a blow to the tooth, trauma to teeth can be a devastating part of childhood.
3. Premature extraction
Whether the child, a parent or dental professional removes the tooth, it may be too soon.When teeth are taken out before the permanent one is ready to take its place, a space maintainer may be the best way to hold its space until it is ready.
4. Tooth grinding
All children grind their teeth, the damage created by some children is greater than others and can cause premature loss.
5. Acid damage An unknowing parent may give a child lemons, limes or oranges to keep in their mouth over prolonged periods of time. This will literally melt the enamel off of their teeth and can cause damage, pain and premature loss.
6. Not enough room for the permanent tooth
Sometimes an erupting tooth will prematurely dissolve several baby teeth if it is not properly aligned or too large to replace only one.
It is very important to see a dental professional and to have a panoramic x-ray taken on your child in order to plan your child's dental future.
So, if you want your child to have a beautiful, healthy smile, make sure the baby teeth are as healthy as they can be and stay in the proper amount of time. Ask your dentist for specifics on your child.

A good thing about spending more time at home is that you get the chance to see and hear more television and radio than usual, hence the Bank Holiday found me listening to 2 hours of items from last weekend's Cheltenham Jazz Festival, with Jamie Cullum on Radio 2. His choice of records tended towards the jazz/funk end of the spectrum, and he did interviews with Corrine Baillie Rae and Darius Brubeck. Ms Baillie Rae gave a lively, pleasant interview in an attractive speaking voice, so why was I disappointed when she sang Stop Where You Are from her latest album? It was because her singing voice sounded unnaturally forced, in a strange restrained tone. Why do singers do this? I think she was trying to sound like certain pop singers, and it didn't work. Perhaps I shouldn't criticise other women singers, but really! She was far more relaxed for her duet with Cullum, Put Your Records On.
Darius Brubeck was quite a different kettle of fish, not so much to say for himself, but excellent music: Brubeck on piano of course, with Dave O'Higgins on sax, for Before It's Too Late; then Brubeck with Jamie Cullum singing Body And Soul. Records played included Dave Brubeck's Take Five (the drumming never fails to entice the listener, and you hear new rhythms each time you listen); Nina Simone's I'll Put A Spell On You; Herbie Hancock from 1978 I Thought It Was You; Ian Shaw Come Fly With Me; Gregory Porter Don't Lose Your Head Of Steam. And most interestingly, David Bowie, from his Blackstar album, performing with New York jazz musicians, I Can't Give everything Away, including the prophetic lyrics, 'skull designs upon my shoes'.
Also recommended on TV are the current Friday evening programmes of Young Musician 2016. The percussion 2 weeks ago was great fun, some youngsters playing multiple varied drums and vibes. Last week was brass, trombones, French horns and trumpets, including a trombonist who was shown playing Take the A Train with Ashby big band. This Friday it's the strings – maybe some gypsy jazz will come up among the violin sonatas.Ann Alex

Boise Pride Festival 2018
June is Pride month — the perfect time to celebrate diversity!
by Chelsea Chambers
So what exactly is Pride? And how did it get started?
The first Gay Pride Parade was held in New York on June 28, 1970. It was a march for equality and was held on the year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, where several members of the gay community were attacked by police during unprovoked raids. This event is the catalyst to much of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) Movement. It was a brutal and violent series of strikes against the gay community, and this brought national attention to the issue. Since then, more and more festivals, movements, parades, and groups are forming–both within members of the LGBTQ community and non–to help fight for equality in love and humanity that everyone deserves. No one should be persecuted based on who they chose to love. No one should be persecuted for being themselves. And thus, Pride was born.
And Boise quickly joined the ranks. Since 1989, Boise Pride has been a serious supporter of the national cause and it is estimated that last year, over 35,000 people attended the Festival and its events. That's no small feat! According to the Boise's Pride's webpage, our beautiful city is rank as one of the top three small-town Pride Festivals. And we want to see those numbers growing!
In an interview with Alex Milles, the Community Outreach Coordinator, I found out a lot more about Pride here in Boise and some of the events to look for this month!
Alex told me that they had a lot of feedback from the last Pride Fest to have more activities that were child-oriented. So this year, Pride is teaming up with Mama Dragons to create the Child and Family Center of the Festival, as well as several other kid-friendly activities.
They are also featuring their first ever art installation–The Diversity Tree! Symbolic of our beautiful City of Trees, the Diversity Tree is a portrayal of unity, harmony, and acceptance. Each color of the rainbow serves as a different representation of peoples' specific sexual orientations. It shows diversity and helps teach acceptance, as we each hold different values and orientations. And, here's the big part, that is okay. The Diversity Tree can be found in Cecil D. Andrus Park and everyone is invited to share their colors! Whether you are: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transexual, queer, questioning, intersex, an ally, asexual, pansexual, or however you identify, the Diversity Tree is the perfect way to show both the differences and similarities between us, but most importantly, to teach acceptance of all people. So grab your color and paint the tree with love and diversity!
When asked about Boise Pride, Alex has this to say, "I'm honored to be a part of the behind scenes at making the rainbow happen for Boise Pride Festival this year. Boise Pride Festival's mission is celebrating the rainbow and above all promoting unity. We believe we can find more answers together than we can apart. We are proud to have served the special and diverse rainbow community for the past 29 years. Let's make 2018 about accepting what makes us different and finding the values we both share and love. "
To kick off the Boise Pride Festival, there is an opening event at Amsterdam Lounge on Thurday June 14. The evening features Steve Grand for a VIP meet and greet. Steve Grant is a gay country-pop artist that will be hanging out all night before he performs on Friday June 15! The meet and greet is a VIP event and only 50 tickets will be sold!
On Friday, music and booths open at 4 pm in Cecil D. Andrus Park. There is also a show at the Egyptian Theatre from 7 to 9 pm featuring Lady Bunny and Bianca Del Rio. Stick around to hear the performance by Steve Grand at the Wells Fargo Main Stage!
And then on Saturday June 16, things get going a little earlier with a 9 am Rally at the Capitol Steps. Followed by the 10 am Rainbow Parade! Also, Sasha Velour will be performing at 3:30! There is a VIP meet and greet with Sasha as well, tickets available here.
As if there weren't enough to keep you busy all weekend long, Boise Pride wraps things up with JACKED! A mind-blowing dance party! The event is 18 + and tickets can be found here. You don't want to miss this!
I know that was a lot of exciting information to take in at once, but Boise Pride has you covered with their 2018 Pride Guide.
I personally am so proud to live in a city that cares about diversity, love, and acceptance. The best way to spread the message of love is to get out and be a part of events like these, to be an advocate, to be an ally, and a supporter of all sexual preferences, orientations, pronouns, and beliefs.
By standing together, we can create a world that is more loving and more accepting. The first step is to get involved. And lucky for us, getting involved with Boise Pride just happens to be jam-packed with music, food, fun, and excitement!

Introduction: Uploading Data to M2X Cloud With HC-05 Bluetooth Module
Saving data values is important to look for trends over time, for record keeping, or for other reasons. This tutorial will show you how to send data values from an Arduino board to the M2X Cloud over Bluetooth. The Arduino board will send the data to an HC-05 Bluetooth module over serial communication. The HC-05 will then send the data over Bluetooth to a computer, which will then upload the data to the M2X cloud.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials
- NodeMCU ESP8266 Bluetooth Module
- Jumper Wires
- Breadboard
- Arduino board
Step 2: Downloads
Go to http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started, and download the mingw-get-setup.exe. Follow the installation instructions. When you get to the Package Selection and Installation, make sure to install msys-base, mingw32-base, and mingw-developer-toolkit.
Next, go to https://git-scm.com/download/win to download Git Bash for Windows. Download the .exe file, and follow the setup instructions on it.
Go to https://curl.haxx.se/download.html and download curl-7.49.1.zip to your computer. Extract the .zip folder, and you're ready to go!
Finally, download Tera Term from https://en.osdn.jp/projects/ttssh2/releases/ and follow the installation instructions for that.
Step 3: Getting Started With M2X
Go to https://m2x.att.com/ and create an account.
Under the devices tab, click on the "Create New" button on the left panel, and choose to create a new device.
After creating the device, add a new stream. After creating it, you can now log and save values to it.
Step 4: Creating the Script
Open up Git Bash on your computer, and navigate to the folder where you want to keep your script. Git Bash uses commands like Linux (cd, vim, mkdir, etc.). To go to a folder, use "cd" without the quotes. For example, I wanted to keep the files on my desktop, so in git bash, I typed "cd desktop".
Type "vim script_name.sh" to create a new script file (and replace with your script name). Copy and paste the script into your file.
Here's how the script runs:
- The script will continually run until it reaches the end of the file, and each time it reads in a line, the script saves whatever it read into a variable called 'line'
- Next we get the date in ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.nnnZ) because we need to do that to send data to the M2X cloud using curl
- Now send the value you read (line), to your device and stream using curl. Make sure to replace "device-id", "stream-name", and "device-API-key" from the curl command with your own device information.
- Save the response from the curl request into a variable called 'send'
- Get the status from the send variable. If it is accepted, then continue with the file. Otherwise, exit the program.
Step 5: Arduino Code
We will be using the SoftwareSerial library from the Arduino IDE, so that the Arudino can send data to the HC-05 Bluetooth module, which will then send the data to the computer via Bluetooth.
- Connect TX of the HC-05 to digital pin 10 of the Arduino.
- Connect RX of the HC-05 to digital pin 11 of the Arduino.
- Connect GND of the HC-05 to GND on the Arduino.
- Connect VCC of the HC-05 to 5V on the Arduino.
If you want to change the time interval for sending data, make sure it is the same interval in the script and in the Arduino code.
Note: I'm just sending random numbers up to the cloud, but you can always get a sensor, and modify the Arduino code to read the sensor input, and then send that data to the HC-05 module, rather than just sending random numbers to it.
Step 6: Getting Everything Ready
Now it's time to pair your computer with the HC-05 module! Go to Settings -> Change PC Settings -> PC and Devices -> Bluetooth. Make sure the Bluetooth on your computer is turned on, and make sure the HC-05 module is turned on (the red LED on it will be blinking very fast). Select the HC-05 from the list of Bluetooth devices, and enter the pairing code. If your HC-05 has it's default settings, the pairing code should be 1234.
Open up Tera Term and connect to the HC-05. After you've paired with it, two COM ports for it should appear. Choose the lower numbered one. If you successfully connect with the HC-05, the red LED on it should have two quick blinks about every one or two seconds.
We now need to make a log of all data the the HC-05 sends. Go to File -> Log..., and choose where to save the log.
Step 7: Running the Programs
Now that you have a log for the Tera Term to save all the incoming data in a file, you can upload the Arduino program to the Arduino. Once it is uploaded, your data values should start appearing in the Tera Term window at regular time intervals. This data will be saved in a file because we chose to log the session.
Run the script by opening up Git Bash, and going to the location of your script. To run the script, type "./script_name.sh file_name", with your script name and the Tera Term log as the file name.
Now you can log in to M2X and see the data values appear in your device stream!
Step 8: AT&T Flow
With M2X, we can see a list or graph of values that have been posted. This step will show you how to retrieve those values in AT&T Flow, so that you can do something with the data (send email or text notifications, etc.).
- Create an account at flow.att.com. Then click on the (+) icon near the bottom left corner to create a new flow.
- Start with an Inject node. Set it to inject at start, and set the interval to be the same time interval that the Arduino code and the script are set to.
- Add a Function node (I called mine Get M2X Value) to get the data value from M2X, and connect the output of the Inject node to the input of the Function node. The code for the function node is in the above picture.
- Add an M2X node, and connect it to the function node.
- Connect the output of the M2X node to a JSON node, so that the M2X data will be converted to a javascript object.
- Connect the output of the JSON node to another function node (I called mine Parse Output). The code for the second function is in the picture above. This function finds and takes the value from the msg.payload, and converts it to a number. If your stream sends non-numerical data, you will need to change the function to not convert the value to a number. Also, you might need to change the indices that the value is being taken from, depending on the size of each value.

Will nRF8001 BL module also work in this scenario
I haven't worked with the nRF8001 BL module so I'm not positive, but when it's connected to the computer, as long as you can save the incoming data in a file for the script to read, it should still work.
