27 Thorncliffe Park Dr, is a dive I moved in with my family in spring of 2015 and moved out in 3 months management has big problem hiring good site staff the current guy doesn't seem to know which end is up never mind running a 6 floor building
It's just a matter of time before this property becomes a health and legal problem as far as I am concerned I don't recommend this rental property to anyone steer clear and keep looking somewhere else
angry mother on 06/19/2012
i have been living for 4 years in this building and i have had it. there is a huge lack of services and maintenance on part of the management company: transglobe reit. my kitchen in falling apart, the cabinet doors are rotted so are the baseboards in the lower cabinets.my bathroom sink is rusty and the shower surround shows of mold/mildew. i clean and scrub every square inch of that bathroom, but i cant get rid of the black marks. to top it all of , i have rocaches roaming my kitcken and bathroo
m like they pay rent. these pests are seen everwhere in the building. i had my unit sprayed twice and gelled numerous times to no avail.i have called and filled many work orders, and complained and threatened legeal action, but nothing has been done but patch up work. every tenant i speak too is facing similar if not worse probelms as me.the entire building reeks of garabage odour because the chutes are always full and the hallway carpets are worn down to the fibers.
the funny thing is that the emplyees of the managment company are fed up too. my building has gone through 5 different property managers in the time i lived here!!!! same story with the superintendents. they com and go within 3 months of being on the job.
i am looking to move soon , and i pary to god my next place will be betetr. anyone interested in renting soon, please stay away from transglobe reit. they are shameful money grabbing people.

Losses widen at Sprint
July 30 - Sprint lost more money and customers than expected ahead of its acquisition by Softbank. Fred Katayama reports.
Sprint's loss widened as more customers fled its mobile network. The third largest U.S. carrier lost much more money in the second quarter than expected: $1.6 billion due to the costs of shutting down its Nextel push-to-talk network that it had acquired. And it shed more than 1 million customers at a time when Verizon added 941,000 and AT&T gained 550,000. Sprint has been trying to stem customer defections from its Nextel brand and have them shift over to Sprint. There were some bright spots. Customers spent more money on Sprint's wireless data services, helping boost revenue. And the company raised its earnings outlook for the year. Deutsche Bank analyst Brett Feldman said, Sprint's second quarter results and updated 2013 guidance reflect stronger than expected trends in the carrier's core 'Sprint' brand services." The stock got a boost on the report. For Sprint, the second quarter was historic. It closed the chapter on its disastrous merger with Nextel. And it was its last quarter as an independent company before its takeover by Softbank.

The story of how I ended up with my very own college computer after years of sharing one at home is a long one that begins with my brother winning an athletic prize and buying a computer. It then immediately ends with him joining the Air Force. Exactly one twist and turn later, it passed on to me.
Hey. I didn't say it was a very interesting story.
The story of how that same computer ended up exploding, if nothing else, is more interesting by virtue of it having at least one more explosion than the one just before it.
I'd like to begin that story by saying that the events that transpired were in large part not due to my actions and ineptitude. Any rational person who was very impatient and not all that aware of how to fix computers would have very likely probably made similar decisions to the one I had. I really can't stress that enough, especially given that this is a super weak defense in the first place.
Allow me to set the scene…
The first thing you have to know, aside from the fact that this definitely wasn't my fault, is that this was back in a time when people used to turn their computers off when they weren't using them. The current system of just leaving them on indefinitely so we could hop on and off the Internet hadn't yet been invented, mostly due to neither Facebook nor YouTube having existed yet.
I came home from a day of classes eager to peruse one of the seven or eight decent websites that existed at the time. So, as I had hundreds of times before, I pressed the big green button on the front of the computer. And like exactly zero times before, literally nothing happened.
(Note: I realize you were probably expecting an explosion there, but trust me. As much as you think you see it coming now, you'll know when it's coming later.)
I was flabbergasted. In fact, my state of mind was so intense that I was forced to run downstairs, find a computer in the library and look up a word that summed up how I felt. The word, if it wasn't entirely clear, was flabbergasted.
(Though "flummoxed" came in a close second.)
From there, I went through my mental checklist of potential solutions. I don't claim that it's a great list, but it's probably more than 90% of people would have done before calling the IT help desk. Then again, it loses some points for being the same checklist I use for cars that won't start, printers that won't print and boring conversations.
- Try turning it off and on again, on the off chance that you missed the button with your first attempt.
- Try turning the power strip off and on again.
- Plug something else into the power strip and turn it off and on again after forgetting which way is the "off" position.
- Remove all cords from your computer. Reattach all cords. Try turning the computer off and on again.
- Remove all cords from your computer again. This time, take each cord aside and offer it immunity from prosecution if it reveals the identity of the faulty connection.
- Give the computer a hard smack. Repeat several times. Begin saying, "Whatsamatteryou!?" every time you smack it. Lament that casual racism has become a part of your everyday life.
- Try turning it off and on again, seeing as this is the last possible thing you can do that won't involve talking to a human being about how inept you are with technology.
Snap. It was on this, the ninth or tenth time I'd tried pressing the power button that I heard the telltale sound of rigid plastic breaking. Naturally curious, I went to work removing the front face of my computer using the saddest collection of tools any human being has ever assembled for the purpose of computer repair.
I made surprisingly quick work of the front face, exposing it – likely permanently, as I'd broken quite a few more pieces of plastic in the process – for a better look at the inner workings of the power button.
I can't adequately describe what I saw there in any sort of useful detail. It wasn't complicated, but I should be clear that my knowledge of computers at the time was leaps and bounds beyond my understanding of electrical circuits. And that wasn't a good thing.
The short version, however, is that the power button used a tiny sliver of metal to connect two other pieces of metal together. Unfortunately, the power button had broken in such a way that it could no longer achieve said function. And, with the day quickly passing me by and nothing even resembling foresight entering my mind, I pressed a metal coin against both bits.
Crackle. I was, to the surprise of no electrical engineer anywhere, given quite a nasty shock for my efforts. This is probably why circuits are rarely connected with a coin clutched between one's bare fingers. In fact, I'm sure this is exactly why circuits are never connected with a coin clutched between one's bare fingers.
On the other hand (the one I hadn't used to complete a live electrical circuit), my computer had actually started.
I went about my business for some time after this rather blissfully unaware of the small doom cloud hovering just slightly above my computer from then on. The second worst thing that can happen to someone is for their bad idea to actually work, since it gives them ample incentive to try it again. The first is the constant wave of movie reboots. That's not related to this story. I'm just sayin'…
That said, my life went on surprisingly normally for the next seven days or so.
Sure, my computer had been running a week straight without rest. Sure, its front panel was so broken that it was impossible to reattach. And sure, it's private parts were on display for the whole world to see, like some two-bit hussy.
(Or thirty-two-bit hussy. I'll…see myself out.)
But, aside from the fact that I'd been completely unwilling to risk shutting down my system, things were going smoothly. Of course, even I was aware that leaving the computer on indefinitely was a problem that was going to need to be addressed at some point. Then again, I figured that by the time it became a real issue, I'd need to buy a new computer anyway.
I mean, in my defense, I was technically right about needing to buy a new one.
For whatever reason, my computer had gone off while I was at class. I'm still not sure why. Maybe it was part of the existing problem. Maybe it had just gotten overworked and overheated. For whatever reason, though, I found myself once again clutching a coin in a questionable attempt to "hot-wire" my personal computer.
"This is a really good idea," I noted, mere inches from duplicating my previous electrocution. "When I turn on the computer I'm going to write a list of all the things I don't regret about doing this."
The computer hummed to life. And, in a moment of surprise that would almost immediately be topped, the coin wedged into place. As a stream of sparks discouraged me from pulling it out of place (which was a brief moment of intelligent thought in a veritable stormy sea of stupidity), I absentmindedly noticed the hum grow louder and louder until it closely resembled a circular saw. To the surprise of absolutely no one, this turned out not to be a good sign.
Pop. To this day, I have no better word to describe it. There was a sound like stepping on a full bag of cooked microwave popcorn. Then my computer case deformed into a piece of outsider art.
I watched a cloud of dense black smoke rise lazily to the ceiling where it (mercifully) never found a smoke detector. Small mercies, I suppose.
After the initial shock wore off, I surveyed the damage without much optimism. As it turned out, I'd managed to turn my computer's power supply into a small bomb. The only saving grace was that I was as good at accidentally making bombs as I was at fixing computers, meaning that there was surprisingly minimal damage to the area immediately surrounding the computer. It was, for lack of a better description, a 100% unintended precision strike.
The computer itself, of course, had been reduced to a paperweight. Its outer casing had stretched into odd shapes while its innards became a mixture of blackened confetti. It was more or less the computer equivalent of eating at Arby's.
I still remember spending the rest of that day gaping at the destruction. I'd never seen a piece of technology fail so badly. And it brought back the bitter taste of every time I'd insulted an older relative for not being able to find the proper input on their television or set the clock on their microwave. At least they hadn't turned their television or microwave into something that might land them on a government watch list.
When it was all said and done, I simply replaced the front plate as best as I could, sighed and turned off the power button.
Better safe than sorry.

As easy as 1-2-3, Hannover based producer Paul Moore slips into the Lucidflow catalogue with the Radiant EP. Having worked the party scene for a good number of years, his breakthrough starting to come midway through 2013. Since then, feedback and support has come in from artists as diverse as deep tastemaker Maya Jane Coles, right up to the thunderous main room tormentor of Marco Carola.
Paul's forte lies in deep grooving house and techno with extremely precise programming. Take lead track 'Larry' for example; it does a lot with a little. The rubbery bassline groove is embellished with a variety of accents that have been placed with the manner of a Michelin starred chef plating at the pass. Every drop and added nuance drives the groove further without needless flamboyancy.
Title track 'Radiant' works a broken and jazzy groove for its first half, letting cavernous dub stabs and fx peal out over the mix. Then, at the midway point, an excitable kick drops into the track. Unwilling to be tethered to a simple 4/4 thump, it skips and jumps around the metronome.
After a pair of dark entrees, 'Sunday Delight' opens up to a bit of melody. Multi-textural chords and notes play high in the mix, while a deep introspective spoken word vocal takes the stage at key moments.
'Variant Ways' touches on all of the previous motifs demonstrated so far; live flecked drums that drop away from the four to the floor, resonate spoken word sections and a deep bassline led groove.
Finally, 'The Stereo' errs on the micro house side of the spectrum, those little mini flourishes that find the space between the beats, and then find further space still to exist in. It's that which keeps the heart beating perkily as the warm jazz edged groove plays out.
Paul Moore hits the digital stands on 23rd January 2017.

Why I Quit Drinking Coffee
I stopped drinking caffeinated coffee in my early thirties for a number of reasons. I had a lifelong anxiety disorder with panic attacks, and anything I could do to calm down was good for my mind as well as my body.
I also had extreme symptoms of PMS: bloating, cramps, and breast tenderness. My gynecologist told me that these problems would be relieved by eliminating caffeine from my diet. I also developed migraines around this time, and I discovered that a cup of coffee with caffeine could reduce the severity of these headaches, and even eliminate them totally. But only if I used caffeine on an infrequent basis, around once a month when I had a migraine.
Quitting caffeine cold turkey wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had a headache every morning for a couple of weeks, but that was manageable. The end results were well worth the two-week struggle. My panic attacks lessened in frequency, my PMS symptoms all but disappeared, and the magic cup of coffee for my monthly migraine was sure to make the headache go away.
I continued to drink coffee, about a cup in the morning and maybe one in the afternoon, but it was always decaf. But I didn't like my coffee black, it always had half and half or soy creamer in it. And sometimes sugar, if I was craving a treat.
Recently I discovered the ancient traditional medicine system known as Ayurveda, which is a holistic approach to the body and health, based on three primary life forces in the body: air, fire and water.
The key is to balance these three life forces, and that will lead to optimum health. One of the ways to achieve this balance is by focusing on one's morning rituals to begin the day in alignment and with nature's rhythms. Ayurveda tradition believes that the first thing one eats or drinks sets the tone for the rest of the day, and the best thing to promote a healthy day is to drink a cup of warm water with lemon upon awakening. The warm water gets your GI tract moving and the lemon can release toxins in the digestive system.
I started my warm lemon water ritual four weeks ago, and I feel much lighter and more energetic than I previously did after my morning coffee with cream, even though it was decaf. My digestion is smooth, and the knowledge that I am not putting processed soy creamer, or dairy cream, into my body, allows me to start my day more peacefully.
Giving up a 20-year relationship with decaf coffee wasn't difficult at all, and the benefits have been amazing. I advise you to try it for aweek and see how you feel, you may be surprised.

Thanks for joining us today! DT member Jen here from Scrap Shack Designs. Since I live in Upstate NY our winters are rather long....and cold...so when I received the new stamps from Just For Fun I immediately thought warm thoughts and today's card is the outcome.
If you know JFF then you know that these are brand new stamps!! It's like Christmas but better!! Make sure to head on over and check it out here.
For my card I used the sentiment stamp found here. As you can see I cut my stamp apart....yes, I did that! I used to be afraid of cutting my stamps but then I realized that if you are going to get more use out of them then grab those scissors and go for it.
That beautiful image stamp is also new and can be found here. After I stamped the image in a Desert Sand ink I took various colors and sponged them in. I then wrapped some twine, attached some faux sea shells and gems, and then layered it onto the base.
Thanks again for stopping by today. If you are curious to see more of my work you can find me here on my blog.
Happy Crafting!

+ Why does AVPros charge an upfront appraisal fee?
AVPROS requires upfront payment a $200.00 fee (perhaps more for a commercial or multiple properties) to be paid at the time of signing the Engagement Agreement. As licensed appraisers, to be in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Practice, an appraisal must be objective, for a fixed fee, and not based on a predetermined outcome. With compliant appraisal in hand, AVPROS then goes to work as your agent to advocate on your behalf for a reduced assessment valuation, if warranted, based on the appraisal results.
+ Will a lower Assessment Value affect my sales price, if I decide to sell?
No. I am not aware of buyers who look at the tax bill to influence their purchase price. On the other hand, it is just good property management to keep your property taxes in line. Why pay more than your share of taxes?
+ If I missed the June 1st protest deadline can I still appeal?
There are alternative appeals that can be filed, including an abatement/refund petition if you didn't start the process by filing a protest during the May 1 to June 1 protest period for 2017. As a matter of fact, appeals can still be filed for the 2015-16 tax years if not appealed prior. Contact AVPros to discuss your situation.
+ What is the difference between a "Protest" and an "Appeal"?
The technical difference, according to the Colorado Division of Taxation, is that a protest is the initial filing with the assessor's office within the prescribed period after May 1 when the new assessment values are mailed to property owners. An appeal describes any other filing of a petition challenging a property's assessment value, including the CBOE (2nd Round), the BAA (third round), or anything related to the filing of an abatement or refund petition. That said, many in the industry use the terms interchangeably.
+ How often is my property valued?
Under Colorado law, all real property (land, buildings, improvements, etc.) must be re-appraised every two years. This occurs in each odd-numbered year (2015, 2017, 2019, etc.). The county assessor reviews the prices of properties which sold during the 24-month period ending on June 30 of the year prior to the reappraisal cycle. For example, new 2017 values will be based on properties which sold between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2016. New values are set each year for personal property owned by businesses based on the information annually submitted by the taxpayers on personal property declarations.
+ What is the Difference between "Actual" Value and "Assessed" value?
The assessor estimates the "actual (market) value for all real and personal property in the county. Actual value is then reduced by a percentage to derive the "assessed" value. For all of Colorado, vacant land, commercial and business personal property, the assessment percentage is 29%. For example, if a commercial or business personal property owner receives a notice from the Assessor stating that the actual value of his/her property is $100,000, its assessed value would be $29,000 (100,000 x 0.29). For all residential property the assessment percentage is determined each year by the state legislature. The current percentage for residential property is 7.96%. Thus, a house with an actual value of $100,000 would have an assessed value of $7,960 ($100,000 x 0.0796). Your property's actual value multiplied by its assessment percentage yields its assessed value. Assessed value multiplied times the mill rate, produces your annual property tax bill.
+ If my property value increased, will my property taxes go up?
For 2017 taxes payable in 2018, the answer is probably yes. However, the actual increase will not be known until the end of 2017 when the each county adopts a new mill levy which determines the 2017 tax for your property. The estimated statewide Colorado increase in all 2017 actual values over 2015-16 actual values for residential properties is +20.8%. Obviously, as a statewide average certain counties will far exceed this increase. It is important to note that the assessor does not set property taxes or mill rates. Property taxes are determined by multiplying your home's assessed value by the mill levy or mill rate. The mill rate is determined by the sum of all pertinent tax levies of metropolitan districts, schools, parks, etc., divided by all applicable property's combined assessed value. The tax bill is for your share of the pertinent tax levies.
+ Why did my property value go up when I haven't made any new improvements to my home?
In order to determine new values for residential property (including single-family, multi-family and apartment properties) all Colorado county assessors are required by law to use only the market approach to value. For 2017 property value estimates, the sales prices of homes similar to yours which sold between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2016, the so-called "base sale period", must be used. If the sales prices of those homes went up, then the assessed value of your home likely showed an increase.
+ How are my property taxes calculated?
The county assessor does not set property taxes or collect payments. However, we can provide the following general information about how your most recent property tax bill (2016 taxes payable in 2017) was calculated, and how to estimate taxes.
To calculate a residential property's taxes, its actual value is adjusted by the appropriate assessment rate to determine its assessed value. Vacant land and commercial properties are multiplied by 29% (0.2900) and residential properties, including apartments, by 7.96% (0.0796). The Assessed Value (less any exempted amount) is next multiplied by the applicable tax rate. In Colorado, tax rates are expressed as a decimal fraction of a dollar for every one dollar of Assessed Value. Known as millage or mills, one mill is 1/1,000th of a dollar or $0.001 (1/10th of a penny). Millage greater than one mill is usually written as a whole number followed by three digits to the right of a decimal point.
In 2016, the City and County of Denver's combined general millage or Mill Rate including Denver Public Schools and Urban Drainage District was 83.054 mills or a tax rate of $0.083054 for every $1 of assessed value. Further, if the typical single family Denver home in 2016 was valued at about $275,000, the property tax calculation for a typical residential owner was:
Actual Value x Assessment Rate x Mill Rate (Tax Rate) = Taxes If Residence's Actual Value was $275,000 x 0.0796 x $0.083054 = $1,818.05 (Tax)
As demonstrated above, the tax calculation has three parts. The actual Value comes from the assessor's property value estimate as described above. The assessment rate is set annually by the State Legislature (the current 7.96% or 29% percentages have been in place since 2002). Tax Rates are set in December each year by taxing authorities like the City and County of Denver, Denver Public Schools and others listed on the tax bill. Taxes are then billed and collected by the county treasurer. These rates are expected to be re-adjusted in December 2017 to keep them in line with the Gallagher statute.
+ How is my residential property's assessment value determined?
For residential properties, appraisers who work for the assessor's office in the county where the property is located study the sales of homes similar to yours which sold within a specific 24-month period (some counties adhere to an 18-month period ending June 30 prior to January 1 of the tax year) and apply the sales comparison approach. For commercial and industrial properties, the cost, market and income approaches are considered and used where applicable. For business personal property, values are based on the asset value information submitted directly by business owners to the county.
+ How is my commercial property's assessment value determined?
To value commercial and industrial properties, the cost, market and income approaches must be used where applicable.
+ How is my vacant land's assessment value determined?
For land, usually the sales comparison approach is used to determine value. However, there are a number of other methods suitable for valuing land such as: Extraction, Allocation, Anticipated Use (or the Developmental Cost Approach), and Capitalized Ground Rent. For developer's holding an inventory of unsold lots, the "Developer's Discount" or Present Worth of Vacant Land Method, as the Assessor calls it, can result in up to a 65% tax savings. Contact AVPros for additional information if your property includes an inventory of unsold residential lots - you may be pleasantly surprised.
+ How is my business personal property's assessment value determined?
For business personal property, values are generally based on the asset value information submitted directly by business owners to the county.
+ Why do we have property assessments?
The Constitution and state laws of Colorado have established real and business personal property assessment procedures and requirements. The values estimated by the county assessor's office for real and personal property are used in the calculation of property tax bills. The revenue raised through these property taxes is used to help pay for public services including: police, schools, libraries, and fire protection.
+ Are there exemptions for certain types of property?
The Colorado legislature has passed laws which exempt certain types of property from assessment. Certain educational, religious, and non-profit uses are exempt from property taxes. Personal property also has certain exemptions such as computer software application programs and assets which are strictly used for 30-day or less rentals. The Assessor's Office can provide current information about existing and any new exemptions.
+ Is a non-profit organization exempt from property taxes?
Under Colorado law, organizations which are charitable, educational, or religious in nature can be fully or partially exempt from property taxes. Simply having a non-profit status under federal IRS rules does not automatically carry an exemption from local property taxes. To apply for an exemption, call the State Division of Property Taxation at 303-864-7780 and request an exemption form at Web page: dola.colorado.gov/dpt.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy is an important decision, and Sagaria Law, P.C. wants to make sure that the type of bankruptcy protection that you choose is the right one for you.
Generally, a debtor's major interests in a chapter 7 case are to retain exempt property and obtain a discharge that covers as many debts as possible. A discharge releases the debtor from personal liability for discharged debts and prevents the creditors owed those debts from taking any action against the debtor, or his or her property, to collect payments.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, is a federal court process that liquidates your debts. Both individuals and businesses can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and they must file at the bankruptcy court assigned to the area where they live or where their company is located.
For example, a Palo Alto-based company filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy must file at the California Northern Bankruptcy Court. An individual who resides in the city of Carmel must also file at the California Northern Bankruptcy Court. With divisional offices in San Jose, Santa Rosa, Oakland, and San Francisco, the California Northern Bankruptcy Court serves individuals and companies throughout the Bay Area.
In both cases, a trustee is appointed by the court to liquidate certain assets that belong to the debtors to pay off as many of their debts as possible. Unlike other bankruptcy filings, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not require a repayment plan. Filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an opportunity for an individual to get a fresh start and be discharged of credit card and other kinds of unsecured debt. An automatic stay is issued once a debtor files for bankruptcy that immediately stops lawsuits filed by creditors, as well as any other actions that others might try, such as foreclosure, eviction, and the shutting down of utilities.
For Individuals Filing Chapter 7 "Consumer" Bankruptcy:
Since October 2005, a new bankruptcy law has added new requirements to the bankruptcy process for individuals who wish to file. One of these requirements is passing the means test. In California, the current median income is:
Single Earners: $43,107
A Family of Four: $70,172
The debtor's average income for the last six months is compared to their state's median income. If the debtor passes the means test (meaning that their income is equal to or less than this median), then he or she is allowed to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If the debtor doesn't pass the means test, they may be asked to file under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Individuals filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy must take a credit counseling course within 180 days prior to filing for bankruptcy protection.
For Companies Filing Corporate Bankruptcy Under Chapter 7:
When a company files for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, the company ceases all operations and shuts itself down. Unlike Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, no reorganization plan is put into place and the company is not allowed to continue doing business. An appointed trustee is tasked with liquidating the business's assets to pay its debts. Secured creditors are paid off first, followed by unsecured creditors, and stockholders are only paid if the other creditors are paid off completely. The bankruptcy law regarding the scope of a chapter 7 discharge is complex, and debtors should consult a competent legal attorney prior to filing.
If you are filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, it is important that you understand your different options, and, should you choose to file, you will want to make sure that all your legal documents are in order so that your case does not get thrown out, certain assets are protected, and your debts will be taken care of.
Our attorneys at Sagaria Law, P.C. will work with you to get through your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. We are a debt relief agency, and we help people and companies file for bankruptcy.

In a couple days, Toronto will elect it's third Mayor since amalgamation. Six cities with different political cultures merged over a decade ago, but the differences still linger. It's too simplistic to say that this is a race between Rob Ford's suburbs and George Smitherman's downtown core but there are elements of that. Rob Ford comes from Etobicoke: the western edge of the city sandwiched between Toronto and Mississauga in more than just geography. Ford's tax fighting approach has always appealed to his constituents who have looked enviously west at Hazel McCallion's thrifty city for years. Etobicoke has 13% of Toronto's population but 20% of its landmass making it more less dense and therefore more suburban, then the packed condo towers of downtown.
Ford's surprising strength among ethnic minorities may come in large part due to Etobicoke's eastern cousin Scarborough. Toronto's much derided Eastern half is a majority minority inner suburb with whites making up just 32% of the population. Still, as demonstrated in Calgary, people don't need to vote for someone who looks like them. Particularly, if they are speaking to their issues. The TTC is a joke in Scarborough, with 600,000 people served by just 6 LRT stops and patchwork maze of buses. Scarborough is an excellent portrait of the new Canadian experience: semi-successful, semi-peripheral. City Hall can feel a long way away when you're standing on the banks of the Rouge River and Ford speaks to that and hey, at least he acknowledges that they work hard (okay, yeah, a lot of political analysis is trying to explain the inexplicable and trying to explain Ford's success among visible minorities is one of those moments). There may be some Torontonians who like to forget Scarborough and Etobicoke exist but they do and electorally, they matter.
A lot of people may have forgotten the tiny borough of East York ever existed. Just 100,000 people call the former borough home and East York covers just 21 square kilometers. However, it has its own political dynamic. East York was always a tiny, slightly right wing version of the bigger city. It produced right wingers like the retiring city councillor Case Ootes, deputy mayor to Mel Lastman and right wing NDPers Beaches-East York MPP Michael Prue who served as its last mayor. East Yorkers are proud of their corner of the city and local issues have always been top of mind in this part of the city. From wealthy Leaside to the poorer Thorncliffe Park, tiny East York is not homogeneous by any stretch. It may surprise some outsiders to know that the borough is over 12% Muslim and about half of it's population is foreign born. In 2003, the three wards which contain the former city, voted for Miller over Tory by a margin of about 5:4.
East York is not the only former city to have faded from the memory banks. The old city of York, sandwiched between North York, Toronto and Etobicoke, is often similarly forgotten. In 2003, John Nunziata carried his only ward in York where his sister, Frances Nunziata (now on city council) was wrapping up as York's last mayor. York is far too familiar with crime making law and order an issue here. Almost as small as East York, at just 120,000 residents, York's electoral impact may not be as large its neighbours like Etobicoke, and North York.
North York provided Toronto with its first mayor in the post-amalgamation era and much of what we are talking about today has something to do with Mel Lastman. The political juggernaut from North York brought his populist sound bite brand of driven brand of politics to new city hall. Whatever Mayor Mel did or didn't do, he was certainly a big enough personality for the new big city. Lastman's North York is famous for its high level of service, for not a lot of taxes. How to deal with some of those legacies (like city-shoveled sidewalks) has been one of the challenges for the new mega-city. North York straddles the rich and poor divide like no other part of the city. It encompasses the ostentatious Bridle Path and the troubled Jane and Finch. North York is almost as large as the old city itself and neither Ford nor Smitherman can afford a poor showing in North York.
The old city of Toronto, generally seen as Smitherman's strength is a strange political animal. The NIMBYism which saw Miller's opposition to a tiny bridge to the island airport is part of the dynamic here. But the champagne socialism of Miler has not gone down all over the old city. The dense townhouses and semi-detached houses made for resistance to Miller's new garbage bins which often have to be left on front porches for lack of options. The money made on Bay street and enjoyed in Rosedale is part of the mix too. The old city may be what most outsiders think about when they think about Toronto, but it is a small part of the city. It's voters may find themselves on the outside looking in if Rob Ford is able to win.

A BuzzFeed Canada writer was harassed on Twitter Saturday after putting out a call for story pitches from non-white contributors.
Senior writer Scaachi Koul tweeted that the the site was looking for "Canada-centric" content, and "would particularly like to hear from you if you are not white and not male."
A screengrab from Scaachi Koul's Twitter account, which has since been deactivated.
Koul said she wasn't going to ignore pitches from white male writers, but would be less interested in them.
"Giving ignored voices preferential treatment is not racism against white people ...it is an attempt to fix all of history," she tweeted.
Maclean's columnist Scott Gilmore said her call for pitches was illegal, because it violated Canadian human rights and labour laws.
The Ontario Human Rights Code states that employers cannot advertise positions that indicate qualifications "by a prohibited ground of discrimination" such as by age or ethnicity.
But Koul's boss, Craig Silverman, came to her defence, saying the callout was not a job posting.
@Scott_Gilmore @Scaachi it's clearly not a job ad, and it violates no laws to encourage women & poc to pitch. But yeah thx for the link.— Craig Silverman (@CraigSilverman) February 20, 2016
Koul then tweeted that she was receiving violent threats. She has since deleted her Twitter account.
Some journalists decried the backlash and praised Koul's work.
Think Canada doesn't have race issues? @BuzzFeedCanada's @scaachi tweeted for more women/writers of colour and was harassed off Twitter.— Elan Morgan (@schmutzie) February 21, 2016
Scaachi Koul is one of the strongest, most brilliant writers/editors in the world. Fuck all of you dickwads for harassing her off Twitter.— Julia Alexander (@loudmouthjulia) February 21, 2016
Davide Mastracci, blog editor of the Ryerson Review of Journalism, said he felt that BuzzFeed's search for diverse writers is progressive, not racist.
Last November, the magazine wrote about "The Unbearable Whiteness of Canadian Columnists," underscoring that opinion columns are "dominated by old white men." It floated solutions including actively recruiting writers from underrepresented communities.
Jeet Heer, the Canadian editor of The New Republic, pointed out on Twitter, "The freakout of the Canadian media at any little push for ethnic diversity and gender equality is really something."
9. Very modest attempt by BuzzFeed for ethnic diversity & gender equality in Canadian media is in context of Godfrey dominated industry— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) February 20, 2016
11. Ascent some active policies to change, segregation of Canadian media will remain the norm.— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) February 20, 2016
Disclosure: Scaachi Koul once worked as an editorial intern at The Huffington Post Canada.

I recently spoke at the Writers Guild of America, East on a panel about Writing for Videogames. And there it was, again: the topic of branching narrative. It struck me that this is what people think game writers do, once you make it clear that you don't actually program the game. A PBS exec once said to me, "How in the earth do you do it? I can't even imagine how that would be like."
Personally, I feel Branching Narrative can be a nightmare. I was working on an ambitious game with branching narrative. In the process of development, the game got whittled down and key portions were cut. I remember re-writing the entire game 3 times. If anything, I want to avoid branching narrative or at least limit it so that it doesn't become unwieldy.
Moreover, some games are actually linear stories, with the interactivity solely in the gameplay. And some branching narrative aren't even what I would call games but interactive fiction. Browsing through a couple Twine stories, I noticed the interactivity amounted to a Click to Proceed button since there was only one choice given to the reader (other than to quit reading the story). Even when the interactivity is confined to small mini games interspersed in the story, I still feel unfulfilled when the gameplay is limited and doesn't advance the story. It's like reading a chapter of the book, then playing a game of Peggle, then reading the book again.
What are your thoughts on branching narrative and meaningful game choices? There are certainly games that focus directly on this. How do you do this well?
I invite readers to submit an article on this topic. Please read the submission guidelines first. Thanks!

Day 2 : Halong Bay
Food stalls every where but we had no idea which stall to eat at for breakfast. Ended up in some stall at some alley way having pho.
Pho = noodles. (Not poo ...hahahaha) Pho is pronounced as 'fo'. I didn't know about this until the fourth day in Hanoi ;p
Anyway, I had my 'pho so' (which means shellfish noodles) with a tomato soup which taste sweet and sour. The soup would have tasted better in the afternoon when all the flavor from the tomato and meat have mixed into the soup.
One really weird thing I encountered when eating my pho. See that yellow thing on top of my bowl? That's actually young banana with the skin! I think the banana is steamed first before adding into my bowl of pho. The banana was ok... but I didn't like it with the skin at all.
I also sampled the chicken soup from my friends bowl. Tasted just so so. I'm guess we are just to early for the soup to taste good. It was about 7.15am in the morning.
'Pho Bo', beef strips with noodles.
'Pho Gai', chicken slices with noodles.
Vegetables again, not that I'm complaining. Totally love their vegetables.
We headed to Hang Hom street to wait for our tour van to pick us up. Since we still had 10 minutes to spare, I quickly suggested to have another quick bite when I saw this.
This lady that sold us 'Peng Guan', Chee Cheong Fun like noodles, comes and put down her shop daily from 7.30am to about 11am in front of the Tourist Information Center (which is actually just another tour agency). I say 'put down' her shop because folks here carries their goods with them and where ever they go. Mobile.
Anyway, her 'Peng Guan' was absolutely delicious! Very fragrant with sesame fragrance and the mushrooms in the 'Peng Guan' added extra umph to the smell and taste. This noodle is eaten by dipping in a light sauce which tasted a little sourish and salty. Perfect!
While eating, my eyes wondered to the next stall that just put down. I wasn't too keen with the egg sandwich, but I decided to give it a second try. Nope, I don't like Vietnamese bread.
Lunch for the day was on board a boat at Halong Bay. A junk to be specific. Junk as in junk boat.. wait that didn't come out right either. A junk is a Chinese sailing vessel.
We were three hours away from Hanoi and about an hour away from land when the Junk captain stopped us at a floating fishing village. Fishes they sold were priced really ridiculously high so we didn't buy any.
I saw this fruit boat tied to one of the fishing farm... two baskets of fruit for 30,000 Dong, not exactly reasonable either but we bought anyway.
French fries for lunch!
Fluffy egg omelet which were rolled and sliced. Quite nice with the extra salt pepper seasoning.
Tofu along with fresh tomatoes. We were having lunch with a lovely Sweden lady as well. I don't think they have tofu in Sweden because she was fascinated with it.
Fresh and cooling cucumber. (But it's so cold already!)
Vegetables and squid. Very very fresh stuff. Love the sweetness of the squid.
Fish which was really fresh. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the weather is so cold until it made all the dished turn cold when they are served.
'Nem' aka Vietnamese spring roll. Nice. The spring roll are really stuffed... not like the skinny ones we have in Malaysia.
Stir fry vegetables and garlic. Cooked like Chinese style. Nice.
And finishing off the meal with water melon.
We also had the Mandarin oranges and fresh dates we bought earlier. I was told by our guide that there are two different types of dates, the sweet ones, and the sour ones. I think the ones I tried at home were the sweet ones, because this was a little sour.
We finished our short four hour tour of Halong Bay and the cave and headed back to Hanoi.
We stop at a rest place and I bought this Green bean cake (5,000 Dong) which my guide told me were famous and tasted good.
...yuck. Sweet and had a very sandy texture. Not my kind of dessert cake.
Dinner was a whole different story. We passed by this BBQ stall on the first night and told each other that we would have dinner there the next day. And we did.
Quite a lot of choices for a road side setup stall.
Beef, chicken, lamb, rabbit.... oh rabbit!!
You don't need to BBQ your sticks yourself. (but I wished we could, it would be much fun!) Some one will do that for you. All you need to do is sit and wait to be served. The vegetables comes first of course.
Top to bottom: The stuffed crab was delicious! Full of crab meat and fish paste. It didn't taste too salty and didn't have the fishy smell. The lamb was quite good too. Marinated with curry powder. The lemon grass with fish paste was very unique. Reminded me of a non spicy otak-otak on a stick. Good stuff.
The beef, bacon, and chicken however was just so so. I wished they could have burnt the bacon more.
Two if this flour cakes tasted unique. I can't figure what both are made out of, but the one that looks like a sliced onion had 'tong fun' as stuffing. And last but not least, the rabbit meat. ...Nar, rabbit is nicer eaten in a whole. I can hardly taste the meat off the BBQ stick.
With our stomach half filled, we walked around more to hunt for good food. We stumbled upon this shop Nha Hang Mien Luon #87 Hang Dieu Street which was packed with locals.
2 thumbs up!
Cha luon, dried rice glass noodles with eel (18,000 Dong). This is not a good picture to show off the noodles, but if you look closely, you can see the black strip of baby eels. Really good stuff. Crispy, not hard. The texture is much nicer compared to the fried ikan bilis.
Glass noodles was springy and cooked just nice. When chatting with locals, I was told that the glass noodles should be eaten dry, and not with soup, to bring out the unique taste and texture of the noodles.
Mien Tron (10,000 Dong) I believe is a mixture of pork and mushrooms. This mixture is shaped into circles and slowly fan fried with oil in low heat. For this dish, the pork balls are served with a light vinegared and watered down soya sauce. Also some cucumber as neighbors.
All that was still not enough to satisfy this 'Wai Sek Mau' (I'm being called the Glutton Cat for the whole duration of the trip by one of my friend). After passing by this sausage shaped fried stuff twice along the road side, I just had to have it.
But... disappointed. The outer layer is kind of like fried rice cake. The flour when heated went all soft and really stick. It was drooling all over me and a few portions of the flour fell on the floor while I was eating. I didn't mind though, I didn't like it. The inside sausage part just so so. Minced meat stuffing.
Day 2's food is much better =)

There are zero grams of fat in a medium-sized banana. An average banana that's seven to eight inches long also contains about 105 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrates, three of which are dietary fiber and 14 of which are sugar.
Bananas are nutrient-dense fruits that help promote cardiovascular and digestive health. They provide a number of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, biotin and copper. Their high vitamin, mineral and fiber contents make bananas good snacks for athletes, helping provide endurance if eaten before and during workouts by supplying the energy needed for exercise or training.

These are very big and sturdy pot-holders made in Tunisian crochet. The yarn I used is thick cotton in three colours. I made four squares and the crocheted them together two and two to get a good thickness. With these, even very warm oven pots can be handled without the risk of getting burned.
I also made a pair of crocheted pot-holders that can be used when handling smaller items. These are also made in thick cotton, but they are not doubled. All pot-holders in this post were made for my mother who has moved to a new apartment, and lost her pot-holders in the process.

Well, I'm on another airplane, so it's time to write some articles! I'm on my way back from the 2009 ICCA Finals in New York, which will probably go down in aca-lore as "the day MTV took over".
While judging the finals, I noticed something that also bugs me in recordings, so thought it might be a good topic – over-enunciation of nonsense syllables. Now, your high school choir teacher might be proud that you've kept up your good diction, but I say doh jin jin walla boww to that.
Actually, I'd probably say something closer to dhhw zxnm zxnm fvuhhhllu BBuuuuughhhrr to that. In various forums I've seen questions such as "what syllable is good for guitar/piano/bagpipe/etc?" The answer is "no syllable". These are sounds, not really collections of consonants and vowels.
Of course, we need to be able to write down our basic ideas and tonal shapes for others to read, as well as the other way around – you just got that shiny new chart from an arranger and you want to get started rehearsing it right away - and the more clear the info on that paper is, the faster you can learn the intent of the arrangement. But the "intent" is just a guide for you to take it the rest of the way and make it your own!
We have our own little language, but no one should be fluent in it. "Zhen" roughly means a distorted sustained guitar, "din" might be some sort of piano, but could also be a Chinese zither. Written on a piece of sheet music, these "words" help us find the character and tone of the arranger's intent, but these are just training wheels. Once you feel steady, take them off and make the sounds your own! Just avoid syllables that sound like words - back in the 90s, it seemed there were whole songs that went "jen jen j jen jen" behind a singer. My wife, Jen, would keep losing track of the lead singer because it sounded like a bunch of people were calling her name...

I agreePosted by rebeccawilsonjones on 09/03/2009
As a non-singer a cappella fan, I find it incredibly difficult to hear the solos when the background parts are busy "talking"--the more word-like the syllables are, the more they compete for the aural space the soloist is supposed to have exclusive right to. It makes it hard to hear and tiring to listen.
As always, I agree with BillPosted by DekeSharon on 09/03/2009
If you sing "bum bum joe" clearly, people will think your friend Joseph is a homeless man.
Underenunciate, or better yet pick nonsense syllables that don't sound like words (in your native language). Use the voice as an instrument in its role as background part, and make sure the timbre reflects this.

Didn't the ICCAs happen 5 months ago?Posted by billhare on 09/03/2009
OK, I've gotten a couple emails about this so I'll explain myself... I wrote the above article in April on the flight back to California, on an old laptop I stopped using soon afterwards, and forgot about it. Today I was looking for a lost file that I thought might be on my old laptop, and discovered this rare, unpublished work of genius. So brilliant that I had totally forgotten to upload it in the first place...

Bingo!! or, er, uh, bingo, bongo, shoop doot doo wahPosted by vog on 09/04/2009
I had to laugh reading your column!! I've been begging groups for years to tone down backup and (especially) bass syllables. Few things mar my subjective enjoyment of an a cappella performance more than the studious, studied, zealous enunciation of sounds that are there for rythymic empahsis only and were never intended to be crystallized lugnuts of noise. You probably said this in there somewhere, but groups have to decide which sounds (usually the lead - this isn't rocket surgery) are meant to carry information, i.e. the lyrics, and which sounds are meant to be there to give the tune a groove, i.e. everything else.
I think that part of the problem is the devotion to the printed page. I'm not advocating musical illiteracy here, merely less blind alliegence to the dictates of the ink. It pays to think stylistically when shaping and rehearsing a piece, rather than worrying about whether or not one is fulfilling the apparent orders on the page to the virtual letter. Most backup syllables, back in the hazy origins of the genre, were scatted, with little planning and casual agreement between those singing them. Like, "Okay, why don't we throw in a 'sha doop 'n doobie' right here? But when it's written on the page, many observant performers feel pressure to make sure that they 'get it right' or 'nail it down', the intent of which alters the performance, and not for the better.
Another part of the difficulty lies in what I believe to be the 'casual' roots of our genre. There's sort of a 'breezy tightness', if you will, to the best of our colleagues' ensembles, in which everything is crisp and yet effortless sounding. Part of that hat trick lies in doing exactly what Bill suggests. Too much emphasis on squared off articulation sort of extracts that wonderful element (some might call it 'swing', although that isn't really the right word) and replaces it with a kind of turgid stolidity that I sincerely doubt is the intent of any group. In a way it's a sort of paradox. I'd call the desired effect 'sloppy precision.'

A pubic hair on a urinal shaped perfectly like a treble clef. The comments on this I've seen fall into two basic camps: a one-in-a-million shot. Or: someone - some freak - spent way too much time before resuming time with friends or acquaintances in the bar. I thought, Hey, maybe he practiced this a lot and just got really good at it? He may have been able to pull it off in a few seconds.
Isn't the Art World wonderful?
Check out a photo of an interesting artist. I'll tell you why I think she's interesting, but first get a good gander at her:
Heather Dewey-Hagborg
Heather's one of those artists that would make C.P. Snow have a coronary if he had a time machine and we could show him what Heather's been up to: she's a PhD candidate who combines: found detritus on the streets of New York, DNA sequencing, 3-D printing, forensic biology, algorithms, and art, all in a guerrilla ontological way.
Here's how she does it: she finds someone's used coffee cup or chewing gum or fingernail or cigarette butt (or maybe a pubic hair from a urinal?) and extracts enough DNA from the trash discarded by a stranger to sequence it. We have accelerated our abilities to do this so quickly that it's become cheap enough that a biologist-art student, working out of Genspace in Brooklyn, can afford the equipment to do this! Heather then feeds the information from the sequenced DNA into a computer, which has such fancy algorithms available to her that it quickly churns out a 2-D model of the face of the person who threw away the trash.
But wait, there's more: Dewey-Hagborg then uses the 3-D printer and creates a life-sized mask of the person...turning it into "art" and...well, just really making us think a whole hell of a lot about the implications of this. I think it's astounding stuff. Get a load of these "masks." Note the inclusion of the "self-portrait." She calls herself an information artist who's interested in art as research. Just imagine: you throw away a coffee cup in NY; you just had to have your latte, being from out of town and jet-lagged to boot. You walk on and don't give it the slightest thought. Heather finds it and ends up making a replica mask of your face, and hangs it on a wall. She's trying to make us think. It works for me: I've been thinking a lot about her work...
The DIY-Biology movement is shaping up to bring us all sorts of surprises, no doubt.
For more on her, Slate did a piece not long ago. (NB the title?)
That reminds me: have you heard of 23 And Me? Here's a video:
Now: genetics is NOT destiny (except in a few relatively rare cases), but this is cheap and promises all sorts of information about your risk factors (so you and your doctors can possibly avert unpleasantness), and your ancestors, which is, I think the thing that will begin to make this more and more popular. It also opens up a Pandora's Box: now that you know you have a substantial risk of getting a disease of which there is no known cure on the horizon, are you still glad you know? Do you have some sort of moral obligation to find out about what's lurking inside you, including who your relatives are? Etcetera! Whoa...(Already there are many stories of people who found out that the sibling they grew up with was really their cousin or uncle, or they aren't related, or mom probably had a tryst with the FedEx guy while dad was at work, etc.)
Returning to Heather Dewey-Hagborg, the Supreme Court, this week voted 5-4 that police can take a cheek swab/extract your DNA even if you've only been suspected of a crime! In other words, says the Court, no, that is not a violation of the 4th Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure and personal privacy. What world do the five Judges live in? This was astonishing to me, but on another level, it figures. This is a court that also ruled, again 5-4, that cops can strip search anyone, even for minor offenses like traffic stops or failure to leash a dog. In the you-haven't-been convicted-but-we're-taking-your-DNA-anyway case, Sotomayor worried that the State was overextending itself, and Scalia - who I find extremely offensive, personally - basically agreed with Sotomayor. Vociferously. But Alito saw DNA as the "fingerprints of the 21st century," and didn't have a problem. Notably, Scalia voted against the cops strip-searching for trivial offenses. He does seem to be for some personal privacy, but especially the personal privacy of corporations to do what they want.
I plan to write Heather Dewey-Hagborg and ask her if she can see if she can get hold of Alito's DNA and make a mask of him so I can throw darts at it, while sipping double IPAs, in time for next Halloween.
Meanwhile, sorry for ruining anyone's buzz, but the very real and growing danger of not only identity theft, but genome theft, is a thing now.
To recap our Top Story tonight: an atheist father sees Jesus in mold behind his fridge, then wipes it out with some disinfectant, while another guy either found or made a perfect treble clef from a pubic hair on a urinal. This led to a brilliant artist-scientist who really makes us think about what can be done with our own discarded waste, little intimate shards of our unique informational makeups we haphazardly leave all over the world, which led us to ponder whether we should spend $100 to find out detailed information about what diseases we might get and where our ancestors actually came from. This logically led to The State being able to strip search us and take our DNA for any reason, really. And we learned that our genomes can be stolen by others, besides the cops.
Beautiful weather here in the Bay Area with a hot weekend up ahead. You literally have 17 billion blogs to choose from, so thanks for making the OG one of your sources for the latest-breaking weirdo news.
Good night, and good luck because we're all gonna need it.

Additional Information
I know very little. The original owner died in 1970 and gave this watch to my Father in the 1960's. I do not know how to open it or set it. It works but needs cleaning.
Hey guy... this is a pretty sought after watch. It's a gold plated Bulova "Jump Hour". They were produced in the early 1930's and are a super neat collectors watch. Looking at your case here I'd estimate maybe 1932 for your watch.
There are a couple different variations as you can see from a post I had earlier about the model...
Parts are pretty hard to come across but if you end up getting if fixed up, you'l have a great piece of working Americana on your hands!
Congrats! Great piece.
I am not sure but I think Sabrina is a ladies name. It is most definitely a beautiful watch and definitely should be restored to it's original condition and worn with pride. If you should decide you want to sell it please PM me at JP on the message tab.

I have a beautiful, good running 1932 Jump Hour with the 13AT rectangular movement if you are seriously interested in one.

Broccoli and Cream Cheese Breakfast Braid
Some of my favorite recipes tend to be accidental - recipes you put together because you need to clear your fridge and freezer, but then all of a sudden the most delicious creation emerges from your oven.
This...this is one of those recipes. A very happy, very tasty accident.
Here was the situation I found myself in this weekend. In addition to a grumbling stomach around 11 a.m. on Sunday, there was:
--One sheet of frozen puff pastry that was reaching it's prime hanging in the freezer
--Half a block of cream cheese that was close to it's last leg in the refrigerator
--Two big bags of chopped frozen broccoli
--A small nugget of parmesan cheese and half a ball of mozzarella in the cheese drawer
Individually, these aren't particularly bad situations to find oneself in. Combined, however, I started panicking. I didn't want to waste any of this food, so I knew I had to get creative.
And so goes the story of my Broccoli and Cream Cheese Breakfast Braid. This creamy. dreamy creation is perfect anytime of day. Having some girlfriends over for brunch? Need a quick, low maintenance dinner? Want to treat your family to a special Saturday breakfast? This recipe is just what you need for all these situations and more.
In reality, I should have foreseen the success this dish was going to be. Generally, anything wrapped in puff pastry will immediately have a gourmet touch. Then I went ahead and made a savory cream cheese base...who DOESN'T love warm, melty, rich cream cheese?! A couple of soft-scrambled eggs and chopped broccoli make this dish robust and fulfilling. Plus, you can customize this any way you want! Thinking about adding ham and cheddar cheese? Me too!
Did I mention that it's a showstopper? So gorgeous!
Here's what you need for Broccoli and Cream Cheese Breakfast Braid* (Print Recipe!)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed for about 15 minutes on the counter or 30 minutes in the fridge
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed slightly (be sure the pieces are no bigger than about 1/2 inch)
2 eggs, beaten
salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
olive oil, to brush the pastry
Here's what you do
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Place the puff pastry on the baking sheet and stretch the edges just slightly. If there are any tears near the creases of the pastry, pinch together the close them up.
Starting from the creases, cut 7 or 8 slits on either side of the center of the puff pastry. I like to cut them on a slightly upward diagonal. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mozzarella and parmesan. Season with a bit of black pepper. Spread the cheese mixture onto the center of the pastry. Sprinkle the broccoli on top of the cheese, pressing down gently to help it stick. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring continuously, until scrambled softly. Spread the eggs on top of the broccoli then braid the pastry. Start at one end by bringing one cut piece of the pastry across the filling and gently pinch it down onto the opposite side. Do the same on the other side and repeat with remaining cuts, being sure to pinch the ends tightly. Brush the top of the puff pastry with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake the braid for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

This postcard arrived in the mail from stock photography company Veer:
At first it just looks like a normal postcard (with some nice varnished/debossed type), but when the postcard is exposed to sunlight something special happens. A message is revealed:
This postcard is a part of Veer's new Photo Synthesis campaign, promoting their new collection of "green" themed images. As a part of this campaign, Veer has created a short film showing these stock images come to life—"making these images live and breathe. Change and be changed by environments. Burn, melt, and bloom."

I have lots of oil success stories during my week because I am using oils all day every day. Probably not an hour goes by without me reaching for my oils. It is just my family's reality, that is our lifestyle this week.
On Tuesday night, we had spaghetti and meatballs. Yes I know that my meal plan called for crispy chicken but I felt like some pasta action. Shortly after dinner, I was hit with the post dinner uncomfortableness and bloat. Usually, I would have dealt with it pain and all. However, Tuesday night I had plans for to meet a friend for drinks after dinner and I didn't want to just sit there feeling blah. So I took a essential oil pre-made capsule called Digest + Cleanse, just one was all it took. Within just a few minutes, the bloat was eased up, the pain was gone and my stomach didn't feel as tight.
With the awesome power of essential oils, my gut got back into good working order and I was able to go about the rest of my night without pain and bloat.
If you have any questions about this product or essential oils in general, I would love to inform and educate you! Just email me or contact me on Instagram!

Note the railroad car on the dock left center.
Today if you own a boat you pull up to the dock, see the dock master, he turns on the pump and you fuel up with gasoline.
It appears that in 1910 you did the same thing except you got your fuel, coal, from a railroad gondola. A little more work, fill up the box or boxes with coal, pay the dock master, load the coal into your boat.

Mimicry Applet
By PETER WAYNER
his applet shows how data can be mutated into innocent sounding plaintext with the push of a button. In this case, the destination is a the voiceover from a hypothetical baseball game between two teams named the Blogs and the Whappers.
The information is encoded by choosing the words, the players and the action in the game. In some cases, one message will lead to a string of homeruns and in other cases a different message will strike out three players in a row. See the FAQ for more information.
The applet takes a few minutes to load. When it is ready, you'll see three text input areas. The first one gets the message. Put the data there. The second, larger one is where the mimicry comes out. You can generate it by pushing the first button.
Mimicry can be reversed by pushing the second button. The output is replicated at the bottom. Remember that any error in the text can screw up the result.
There are plenty of limitations to this system. It only sends uppercase letters and spaces. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase ones and everything else is converted into a space.
How do I use to send ''innocent'' messages?Type your message into the top box, push the first button and then cut the blather out of the second box. Most of the new browsers will let you do this, but some older browsers don't have this capability. Upgrade to Netscape Communicator 4.0 or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0 for this feature.
To unscramble the "innocent" message, paste it into the second box and then push the second button. It should appear at the bottom.

There is a small but charming beadshop in central Uppsala, Pärlboden. Its owner, Lillian, has kindly allowed me to teach my first ever class in bead embroidery.
We have decided to keep the first class very simple 101: a beginner's guide in capturing a cab.
I am giving an overview on most commonly used materials, such as types of foundations, backings and adhesives available in Sweden, talking about types of cabs, and finally, I show four basic bead embroidery stitches on example of this pendant:
The fun part was that everybody has managed to complete the pendant within three hours! It seems that everybody was satisfied with the class. So, we scheduled for a continuation - level B bead embroidery.
Next time, we'll be making something like this:
By the way, the focal dichroic glass cab is one of many that I've got from Noora. Thank you, dear, I am looking forward to working with the rest of them!
Everybody who took the course - thank you for your patience! It was a great fun teaching you, ladies!
Lillian, thank you for the opportunity to share my passion with others!
Welcome to my blog! Here I'd like to share my passion for making beaded jewelry with anyone who might be interested.

I highly recommend the Ylang Lavender SLS-free soap from Me & The Boy. Clear undyed vegetable glycerin with a pretty baroque design betraying the lovely fact it was hand-poured in a small cottage industry batch. It lathers, it smells lovely to me: that note of old-fashioned, unmasked, work horse soap smell. I can use it on my farm and it won't pollute my stream.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is hoping Manchester United take time to get used to their new manager. The Old Trafford side bid adieu to the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson earlier this summer and will have outgoing Everton manager David Moyes at the helm of the first team from Monday.
And the Anfield midfielder hopes United and Moyes take time to get used to each other, thereby handing rivals a potential advantage. However, he is wary of Moyes as well.
"They have replaced a world-class manager with another, who has done a fantastic job at Everton. So I think David will continue to do a good job there. It's new for Manchester United. From a biased point of view, let's hope they have a wobble!" the England midfielder said.
Liverpool have already made moves in the transfer market, signing Kolo Toure, Luis Alberto, Simon Mignolet and Iago Aspas and are looking to add more players before pre-season activities start next month.
However, Gerrard is certain United are too good to be affected by a change in manager and have enough world-class players to challenge for the title again. The 33-year-old also believes competition for a place in the top four will intensify next season with Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham expected to strengthen before the transfer window closes at the end of August.
"I think they have too many good players to fall out of the title race. They have world-class players and I expect them to fight for the league again. There's no getting away from it, the competition in the Premier League is going to get stronger and stronger. Manchester City are going to add to their squad, Jose Mourinho is back at Chelsea and we are going to make numerous signings. Tottenham and Arsenal are going to come back again... so I think we are in for a very interesting Premier League campaign," he explained.
The midfielder is excited by transfer activity at Anfield and is excited to start preparing for next season.
"Especially with the news of us making a few signings, I'm really looking forward to getting started. It's always important to get faces in as soon as possible; they can get a full pre-season under their belt, get to know the lads and how the manager wants to play. There are some exciting names in there so everyone is excited," he told Liverpool's official website.
