Hello, and welcome to an all new series of author interviews. The long anticipated anthology "We Were Heroes" will be coming out in 2016, and in preparation for this release we'll be running interviews of various contributors.
MTI: Today I'm interviewing a returning contributor, Chris Allinotte, who has crafted the compelling story Faded Instincts this time around. Thank you for being here, Chris.
It's been a while since we did one of these interviews. Why not tell our new readers a little bit about yourself?
CA: Well, the basics are that I live in
, with my wife and children, but I grew up in northern Winnipeg, Manitoba , and went to University in Ontario , where I stayed for awhile. Toronto
I've always loved creating stories, but I got serious about it during theatre school, when I wrote my first play, Late Last Night. I later staged the production at the Staircase Café Theatre in
. Hamilton
It was awhile after that that I got back into writing fiction, joining a writing group in
. One of the pieces I came up with in that group later won
first place in the Toronto Star short
story contest. I've written pretty constantly since then. Two years ago, I
published a collection of short fiction, called Gathering Darkness, which I'm very proud of. Toronto
MTI: Your story, Faded Instincts, appears in We Were Heroes, an anthology devoted to the theme of aging, retired, or out of their element superheroes and villains. Tell us a little bit about your contribution to this collection.
CA: Faded Instincts is about a father coming to terms with the son he left behind. So much of superhero mythology is dependent on the protagonists having no responsibility other than fighting evil in the name of justice which, while admirable, is sort of a juvenile mindset. I thought it would be fun to explore what happens when real life catches up to the mythology. The fact that the son finds himself developing the same powers as his father provided a nice catalyst to get them together.
MTI: Who's your favorite superhero (or villain)?
CA: I find myself going back to Batman a lot. When I was younger, I loved Spiderman and the X-Men, but as I've aged, I keep coming back to Bruce Wayne. I particularly like the Frank Miller books (The Dark Knight Returns, Batman:Year One), as well as Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, that expose the hero as being nearly as damaged as the villains he fights. There's something intensely gripping about Batman's sense of urgency – that he cannot rest until the job is done – but it's never done.
MTI: If you, yourself, could have any superpower, what would it be?
CA: I think it would be great fun, actually, to have the powers that "Animal Man" in my story has – to transform into any creature that's ever lived, at will. Just exploring the possibilities of that would take a lifetime.
MTI: Shifting back to your writing, can you tell us a little about what you're working on right now?
CA: I'm nearly through the first draft of my first full novel. It features characters I've used before in short stories, so it's been really great to find out more about them as they stretch out to fill the greater space.
MTI: Other than Faded Instincts appearing in We Were Heroes, do you have any other stories being published in the near future?
CA: There is a novellette that I've done which may border on fan fiction (it takes place in the world of the Wizard of Oz), so I've been hesitant to send it out – but I like it a lot, so I may polish it up and release it myself on Smashwords. Everything else I've been doing has been to try and finish a book length manuscript for once, so my editing/submitting pile is pretty robust right now.
MTI: On a lighter note, have you watched any good tv lately?
CA: I've really been enjoying this season of American Horror Story, much more so than previous seasons. The story seems about a thousand times more consistent, with real stakes. I was also very satisfied by Series 9 of Doctor Who.
MTI: How about music?
CA: A friend told me he liked to create a playlist devoted to his work in progress, and fill it up with related songs that could help inform the tone of the book. I tried to do that with my current WIP, so it's a lot of classic rock and Alice Cooper, Epica, Within Temptation and Tool for example.
MTI: What was the last movie you saw, and what did you think of it?
CA: Most recently, the new Star Wars. I absolutely loved it. It was everything I hoped it would be, and everything that made the original movies great. Mostly, it was a movie that was about something, rather that simply being the product of a "create your own Star Wars movie" CGI kit.
CA: Not at this time. The most new work I have is the novel manuscript, and it's still in 'just for me' stage.
Thanks for having my story in We Were Heroes, and for a very enjoyable interview!
MTI: And thank you for a great interview, Chris. Those who want to read your work can get a copy of We Were Heroes.

A central part of the high school experience is for students to develop the skills and confidence needed to advocate for themselves. When inevitable setbacks emerge, students are encouraged to seek out the help of the appropriate party/parties. Whether speaking directly to a teacher or seeking out the assistance of a counselor, the hope is that students will make their needs known and seek out the appropriate support. Knowing well that such development is an on-going process, we would encourage parents to reach out to appropriate parties when they have concerns or feel that their son's struggles exceed their ability to self-advocate. If a parent has a subject-specific concern, please reach out to the teacher directly while notifying the appropriate counselor who can provide additional support.
Seton Hall Prep students should take responsibility for independent learning. Students are expected to do homework every weekday night and additional work on the weekends. While the amount of time dedicated to homework will vary from student to student, we encourage each student to spend a minimum of twenty minutes per subject per night. Homework is defined in the broadest sense, including not only written work but also studying or reviewing what was covered in class that day. Students should not be able to complete the necessary amount of quality homework during the school-day or on the bus or train. The greatest academic success is typically enjoyed by those students who are consistent and thorough workers who make a nightly commitment to their academic responsibilities.
All students should secure contact information from their classmates in the event that they are absent for a day or two and need to follow-up on missed work/assignments. Additionally, students should refer to the academic portal for any teacher updates or email their teachers directly to follow-up with missed work. In the event of a lengthier absence, reach out to teachers or the appropriate counselor who can facilitate securing assignments. Home instruction is also available in the event of long-term illnesses.

Name: Molly
Age: 18
State: MN
Molly was born early and was kept in the hospital for four weeks. When she was five months old, her doctors discovered that she was not developing properly and she was diagnosed with having spastic quadriplegia, or cerebral palsy. This is a group of disorders that impair both the brain and nervous system functions, including activities like moving, seeing, hearing and thinking. Because of this disease, Molly is unable to walk and she relies on a wheelchair for mobility and the aid of her service dog, Simon. She has tried a number of experimental and non-traditional therapies over the years, including biomechanical rehab for nine years in Canada, and she has also undergone several surgeries.
Molly's dream is to rise above her condition and become a fashion model, so when she was given the opportunity to have a wish granted through Kids Wish Network, she asked to meet her hero and inspiration, Tyra Banks.
To prepare for her meeting with Tyra Banks, Molly was pampered with a superstar makeover from makeup artist Samantha Salk before being whisked to ShowBiz Studio in a limousine. There, Molly and her family were treated to lunch and a tour of the set of America's Next Top Model. They also met with judges Kelly Cutrone, Bryanboy, and Rob Evans. Of course, Molly's favorite moment was meeting her hero, Tyra Banks.
Although starstruck, Molly spent some quality time chatting with Tyra and posing for pictures before presenting her with a poem that she had written just for her."I told her I loved her," said Molly. Tyra gave her a hug and told her that anything was possible and to not give up on her dreams.
Now home, Molly is excitedly telling her friends about her wish and sharing all of her pictures and souvenirs.
"Thank you Kids Wish Network," said Molly. "I'm very thankful I could come out here to meet Tyra. Thank you."

Look Back But Don't Go Back0 Comments
Creating this blog has got to be one of the best things that I have ever thought of doing. Keeping track of how I style clothes and seeing how much of it has evolved can be very satisfying for someone like me. Although I cringe looking back at the photos I posted years ago, It's amazing how much positive changes a person could actually have in just a few years.
I encourage you, yes you read it right, YOU to start your own style diary. If you're not comfortable of posting it online, you could always keep it private just as long as you could keep track of your style and trust me, you're going to see a lot of changes and it's going to be very satisfying! I'll probably keep posting more OOTDs and taking you with me as I explore more of my style.

Over the long MLK weekend, the weather was beautiful but I wasn't feeling good. So we decided to do a little exploring close to home. I've seen some construction happening at Agena Central Park and I wanted to see if there's been any improvements since our last visit.
Although Owen is big enough to tackle the stairs mostly on his own, Isaac needed a lot of help. Definitely glad Chris was able to come with us.
|Trail head on the left side of the field
|Isaac navigating the stairs
Amazing to think those stones have been there since the 14th century!
|Looking over McT from the top of the castle
|Field near the top
After the castle ruins we continued our tour around the rest of the park.
|Bull ring (see it in action here)
|Stairs to the back side of the park
|Broken clock, working sundial
|Looking back at the castle
One big change from last time: no more playground. I wonder if something new will be built in its place.
|Cherry blossoms
|Statue of Buddha
I hope the construction continues. This park makes a nice afternoon trip and I'd love to see improvements to make it even better.

As President of Design Basics, LLC, I'm excited to share that this year marks our 35th year in business! In 1983, Design Basics began as a custom home plan design firm for professional builders in our local community of Omaha, Nebraska. Over the years, the popularity of our designs grew and we expanded our focus to designing plans that would be adaptable in any location. Since then, interest in our plans has reached to all 50 states and Canada as well as countries around the world.
Over the years we have not just adapted to changes in the market, but have been the catalyst for many of the design amenities, builder programs, and industry trends you still see today. For instance, our signature program, Woman-Centric Matters!®, was launched in 2005. Recognizing that women make a majority of the buying decisions, the program focuses on teaching builders how to market, sell, and design their products and services around the things that actually matter to women. This year the focus of the Program is shifting to training and certification, and is open to other companies in the building industry – if your business partners are also focusing on women's preferences, marketing and design becomes even more targeted and efficient.
Around this same time, we launched our HER HOME™ brand with a publication targeted to women home buyers/owners, helping them make wise, informed decisions. The magazine continues to be a favorite among readers and builders alike. Our 2018 edition is available in digital format on our website and is packed with valuable information around home design, amenities, and products for the home (see link below). Builders, and other industry providers, are welcome to order custom versions to use for your own business – contact us for more information.
In addition to our dedication to quality, forward-thinking home design, we are also active in the community. Through our Plans for Education program, we are able to donate home plans to high schools and colleges for classroom instruction as well as hands on learning. We have participated in St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's Home Giveaway, Jan's House of Hope cancer awareness crusade (read our current story in the HER HOME edition linked below), and most recently a supporter of Homes For Our Troops, which builds specially-adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. Internally, our Employee Wellness Initiative has taken off with employees participating in National Walk at Lunch Day, National Wear Red Day, and various other charges.
In January we exhibited at the National Association of Home Builders International Builders' Show in Orlando where we were recognized as one of only 60 companies that has been exhibiting for 25 years! This year's show was a huge success with a record number of visitors stopping by our booth to discuss home design. We look forward to and are already planning for 2019 – we hope to see you in Vegas!
This year will we be launching a new website with an enhanced plan search tool, making it easier than ever to find and compare home plans that meet your requirements. And, Builders, we invite you to explore our Builder-Centric℠ GOLD program where you can earn free home plans, discounts on products and services, FREE plan upgrades, and much more! As always, you can count on the Design Basics' team to deliver innovation and leadership through creative home design, marketing, and business transformation solutions.
Design Basics…where great design matters.

Kathryn Dick

Love your "senior" images. I'm a crafts instructor at independent and assisted living complexes. The ladies can all relate to the "older lady" stamps. I'm a retired middle school teacher so getting involved in teaching the senior population was a perfect fit for me. When we do a workshop with your images, I'll email you a picture. My students are all 75 to 95 years old!
Zoe, I love your images and how well they combine with your versatile background stamps. I just downloaded and printed my second coloring e-book and continue to be impressed with your fabulous step by step instructions and the stamps you include for practice and use.

First Date Coming Up? Make It An Alligator Hunting Adventure!
Meeting someone new is all about getting to know them. You want to create a space that is open and inviting so that your date will feel comfortable talking with you and sharing more about who they are. While you may have gone on previous first dates that included dinner and a movie, it's time to spice things up a bit. Think outside of the box so you can generate an experience that they will remember. Going alligator hunting can help you accomplish this in an amazing way. Find out why your next first date should include alligator hunting as the focal point.
Alligator Hunting Gets The Adrenaline Pumping
When you're out on a boat in the wild, anything can happen. Things can be completely serene and peaceful one moment, followed by times of complete uncertainty the next. You'll likely spot alligators and watch in amazement as the tour guide captures the gators in front of you. This gets both of your adrenaline levels through the roof and this can definitely facilitate conversation.
Who wants to go on a date where they sit in a completely controlled setting and try to pick someone else's mind? Sitting across the table from your date is not necessarily the best way for you to find out who they are. You want to be in an environment that brings up real emotion so you can discover how a person reacts under duress. Is your date up for adventure, or does the entire experience leave them wanting to get away? You'll find out so much during your gator hunting outing that you likely wouldn't have discovered under any other circumstances!
Alligator Hunting Is Memorable
No matter who you happen to be going out with, it's unlikely that they've ever been on an alligator hunting venture before. They might have meandered into the realms of skydiving, surfing, and many other outdoor sports, but gator hunting is something that is completely unique. No matter what happens between the two of you there will be a memory in their mind of just how incredible of a time they had when the two of you went hunting gators.
You can find gator hunting tours in cities and towns all across the country. Make your next first date a special event that is unmatched by anything else by taking your interest on an alligator hunting experience. You just never know what can happen!

We take great pride in developing long term relationships with our clients. Here's what a few of them had to say about us.
"It is a pleasure to share our first-class experience with Farley's Landscaping. They have handled the maintenance and improvements for our ten acre property for six years achieving results that are better each season. They have delivered both consistency and creativity - from weekly landscape maintenance to semi-annual display gardens. Their knowledge of horticulture is only exceeded by their extraordinary customer service skills. Please drive by our property to see their work, or feel free to call our Board for a recommendation."
- Greg Brauer - Board President, Alexandria Townhomes, Lenox Road, Atlanta
"Farley's Landscaping does a great job taking care of the lawn, trees, shrubs, and flowers on our property. They installed our lawn and have taken care of all our landscaping maintenance work since 2004. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have their home landscaping taken care of."
- Shad Jackson, Douglasville Homeowner
"It has been a great opportunity working with Farley's Landscaping over the past 3 years! They exceed expectations, finish on time, and often jump through hoops to maintain all our erosion control and landscaping needs for our construction projects. Thanks for everything!"
- Chad Waits, Builder for McCar Homes Construction, West Georgia & Atlanta
"Farley's Landscaping has done a great job taking care of our property for our homeowners association. They are professional, hard working, and reliable. We couldn't be happier."
- Steve Moutsatson, Homeowners Association President, Berkley Park Subdivision, Villa Rica, GA
"We couldn't be happier about our decision to hire Farley's Landscaping to manage our 4 strip malls and commercial buildings that we've owned in Atlanta for 15 years. We have been through so many other companies that always seem to over-charge and under-deliver. Farley's is honest, hardworking, and they bend over backwards to keep us happy. They really take ownership of the properties so I don't even have to worry about it. They are the only company I currently recommend.
- Doug Collins, Commercial Property Corporation, Marietta, Georgia
"Hiring Farley's Landscaping has really taken a monkey off my back. We operate 6 McDonald's locations around Atlanta and dealing with unreliable landscaping firms had become a daily headache. Hiring Farley's has given me great peace of mind. Plus the properties look better than ever.
- John Smith, McDonald's Operator & Manager, W. Georgia & Atlanta
"I hired Farley's to completely overhaul my entire yard with a new lawn, retaining wall, rock walkway, rock patio, full irrigation system and more. They did a great job. The price was extremely fair. Bryan Farley is a true perfectionist who cares about his customers.

text: Vlogging is something which is quite new to me but lots of my subscribers have asked me to do them. So, since I had a busy October I thought I'd vlog it all & give you the highlights in one video! Now I'm not pro with all this vlogging, but I really wanted to take you all along with me & also so you get to see the kinds of things I get up to. Last month was filled with a lovely trip to Isle of Wight with Liz Earle, a major hair update with Nicky Lazou (which you can also read about HERE), Diwali and a dear friend of mine's birthday – which I sadly didn't get the chance to film, shame on me! Although majority of my time is spent beavering away with my laptop, I quite liked filming when I was out & about and had things to do 🙂 So forgive me if I'm blabbering, but now over to my first monthly vlog in October 2014.

Peder Leonard Hendriksen (1859-1932)
Peder Leonard Hendriksen was born in Balsfjord, near to Tromsø. He was off on sealing expeditions from the age of 14, and also had many hunting voyages around Svalbard. In 1888 he was on the sloop Enigheden of Kristiansund that was wrecked near Novaya Zemlya. Nansen himself wrote to Hendriksen in September 1892 as he needed crew members with practical experience of sailing in the Arctic. During the Fram expedition Hendriksen used much time in the crow's nest looking for land. He was bitten in the side by a polar bear on the ice in the dark the first winter, but hit the bear with his torch and managed with the help of the dogs to run for cover.
He was such a success on the Fram expedition that Otto Sverdrup asked him to join further expeditions. He went to Svalbard in summer 1897 on the tourist ship Vesteraalske, where Sverdrup was the captain. His job was to guide the tourists who wanted to see the Arctic fauna. He then participated on Sverdrup's 2nd Fram expedition 1898-1902. He was respected for his extensive knowledge of the fauna and nature in the Arctic, and he was regularly sent out hunting for food, particularly sea mammals. Autumn and winter 1899 he was ill with a swollen body and breathing difficulties, but he recovered with a diet and rest in bed. Others of the crew remarked on his good humour and sense for jokes.
Hendriksen was married and had four children before he left on the first Fram expedition. After the two long Fram expeditions he settled down as a lighthouse keeper, first at Gjeslingene in North Trøndelag 1904-08 and then at Andenes 1908-28. He retired at 70 years of age.

Great Barrington residents urged to sign up for new CodeRED emergency alert service
GREAT BARRINGTON — If an emergency situation arises in town, residents now can get a phone alert from authorities — but only if they sign up.
Great Barrington is the latest Berkshire community to adopt the emergency notification system known as "CodeRED."
"CodeRED gives residents control of how they receive emergency information," Great Barrington Police Chief Walsh said in a prepared release. "Only those who register for notifications will receive them."
The emergency system targets residents where they live for specific alerts. All public phone numbers in town are in the system already. CodeRED downloads that public information when a municipality adopts the system.
But it's up to residents with private landlines and cellphones to register their numbers with the service. Just go to the town's website and click the CodeRed icon, and follow the instructions.
"We encourage everyone in Great Barrington" to sign up, Walsh said.
Residents without home access to the internet can use computers at the Mason and Ramsdell Public Libraries, the Claire Teague Senior Center, and the Town Clerk's Office. Town manager Jennifer Tabakin was "pleased" with the new system, the press release said.
The service is also available for those outside of the town who wish to be informed of emergencies or events in town.
Fire Chief Charles Burger encouraged the community to sign up to help emergency services maximize their return from the notification system.
"CodeRED operates on a person's home address to provide the most up to date information," Burger said in the release. "Please make sure to register your cellphone in conjunction with your home or business and verify your address when signing up."

Fox Manor
The Second Floor - The Lady's Sitting Room
Hi Everyone,
Thank you once again for taking the time to read my blog, I appreciate each and every one of your kind comments. I have been working away on my Lady's Sitting Room just before and over Christmas, it was lovely to do. I had to step back for a while as hubby was away and I needed the man-saw, so that put a halt on things for a while, as I'm not allowed near it! I also cannot believe I now have 60 followers! Thank you.
The Lady's Sitting Room is the last room on this floor to be completed, and is situated over the Gent's Games Room below. I decided that the Sitting Room was best placed here, as the noise from the gentlemen below would be a distraction to my Lady if the bedroom was placed here and she were trying to sleep! I think my family reckon I should be locked up at this stage!!
I painted the ceiling in a lovely blue - 'First Dawn' by Dulux to match the blue of the mural wallpaper - it is 'El Dorado' by Les Chinoiseries. As I'm sure you know by now, I just love Carmen's wallpaper, but I have to say that this is the first time ever with her papers that I found if it got wet at all, the colour came off, so gently, gently does it! I wanted to give the illusion of the sky of the wallpaper continuing on up and around the ceiling. I also painted the lovely moulding by Sue Cook in the same blue and highlighted it with my favourite gold paint, just to emphasise that there really is a coving up there! I was afraid of there being too much blue! But by painting on the gold, I was afraid I'd detract from the original idea of continuing the blue from walls to ceiling! Oh, decisions, decisions.......
The ceiling rose was placed slightly more to the front of the room as I wanted to place pillars towards the back....leaving everything slightly off centre. Ah, well. It's me we're talking about here. Always making trouble for myself! lol I have to say, that I have used a lot of Sue Cook items in my house, but a lot of the rest have been made by Replicast Miniatures...they are really lovely also.
I have already closed off the door to the left of the room, which would have originally been going out into the stairwell - this is now the Lady's en-suite; I have placed double doors at the back of the room instead so you can access the rest of the Manor from there. ;) I bought the doors from the USA off Jim Coates. His items are just lovely. The detail is so crisp and clean. The fireplace here is also made by him.
To the door I added some brass stampings, then I painted the whole lot white. I highlighted the stampings and other parts of the doors in my gold paint and added the handles. They were too brash a gold colour so they got the gold paint treatment too....:)
I like to have a little something to a room, so that it does not look just like a 'box'. But the deep coving (as I know from past experience) is such a pain to cut - for me anyway. I had to think of a way to make my room interesting, so I finally opted to place a couple of pillars to the back of the area to give the Sitting Room a grander and more opulent entrance for my Lady and her friends!
The floor, as usual, was a challenge for me. Floor designs, simple or not, usually take up most of my time in thinking what to do! Mind you, others dedicate such time and patience to their masterpieces, that I am always ashamed to complain about doing mine!
Here I finally chose a cherry floor with some walnut complete with a parquet border. I kept the 'central' design to the front of my room - so it would be seen, but also to emphasise the sitting area as opposed to the entrance area.
I finished it off with a coating of natural beeswax, but I thought it was a little too 'orange' for my taste; so I went over the whole floor with a dark wax and I'm much happier with the look now.
The pillars from the wonderful Sue Cook, weren't tall enough for the room so I had to make pedestals for them - which came in the form of off-cuts from the curtain rail used in my RL bedroom.... waste not, want not! Ok, Ok, my poor husband had to cut them.... :) Waiting on these held up the finishing of this room!
The warm cream and gold tones of the curtain pole...sorry, my pedestals :) blended well with the tones of the base of my wallpaper, so I didn't repaint them.
I painted the base and the top parts of the pillars with my favourite gold paint from Craig & Rose; the main pillar was then painted white.
The Jim Coates fireplace was again painted white and I decided not to highlight with gold as there was the gold mirror above, and as it is closer to the ceiling rose, I thought I might have enough balance here and in highlighting the fireplace....well, it may well be just too overpowering when the ornate furniture is in place.
I would have dearly loved to have had a chimney breast, but the plaster coving was bigger than me, so I'm afraid I had to bow defeat and do without :(
Maybe as time goes on and I get more confident I will venture forth and learn how to cut deep coving, plaster or otherwise....but time will tell! Maybe a new saw is what's needed...I thought Santa might have rustled one up...but it looks like I'll have to sort myself out!
The skirting and dado rail are painted white. Fresh and clean :) I had originally painted the dado gold to see what it would be like, but too much of a gold thing just doesn't work :) ....I didn't like it for this room, but I wouldn't rule it out for somewhere else!
I made the hearth for the fireplace in the usual way, with heavy grey card scored to give a hint of slabs being used and I painted it and the fireback to look used.
I used an 18 light chandelier in here and I also have two double candle wall lights at the back of the room.
The rococo mirrors on each side of the doors are by John J Hodgson and are so detailed, I love them, and below them I have tiny little shelves!
I am quite sad in a way that that's another floor finished in my Manor. Only one more to go.... I just love decorating and I know that the top floor - the attic, is going to be such a challenge for me - height wise LOL.
I hope you have enjoyed the making of my Lady's Sitting Room. Again, I have soooo many little bits and pieces to get to finish the room off, but, all in good time!
It may be a little while until I start the final floor of my manor....I have a something in the pipeline, so watch this space :)
All the best and take care.

Jamaica Mancations & Guys' Getaways
We get it – guys need guy time. Whether you call it a mancation, a guy's getaway, a bro-cation, a father-son trip, or any other label you want to slap on there, it all comes down to bonding with your dudes, chillaxing, and having a great time in a far-flung and exciting destination. Guys just want to have fun, too.
So, why not have that fun in far-flung Jamaica, home to cold beers, world-class fishing, sweet tunes, spicy foods, and superb golfing? There's plenty of adventure to test your manliness, competition to boost your bonding, and nightlife to help you wind down (or up, whatever you please).
And at 8,000 square-foot Villa Serenity, there's also a bit of man-pampering happening. (We won't tell if you won't!) Whether it's indulging in an "Up to Par" man's massage, settling in to an indulgent meal, or just cracking open a cold one on the pool deck, Jamaica is a level-up to your standard man-only vacay. Here, we're all about male bonding. Six-pack included.
A Guy's Villa, with Ocean Views
We'll get straight to the point: Villa Serenity may be beautiful, may be luxurious, may be well decorated, but it's also designed for dudes.
Let's start with the basics: Location. You can't beat it. Our ocean-view villa is located just off a private beach, so you're a hop, skip and a jump to everything from swimming and sea kayaking, to jet-skiing and sport fishing.
Moving on to the bedrooms: There are five of them, and there's no "short straw" here, as each bedroom opens onto a private balcony, terrace or verandah. Three of the bedrooms also have attached ensuite bathrooms. (Check out the entire floor plan.)
Then there's the private, resort-style pool and pool deck; we can't imagine a better place to crack open a cold one and bond, guy-style. Inside, there's a full bar (not to mention, a bartender to whip up anything you desire!), as well as and Xbox, Wii, and game room with a pool table and foosball. Let the games begin!
Jamaica with Your Buds
Villa Serenity is situated just outside Ocho Rios, in a location dubbed by Travel & Leisure as "the Jamaican Riviera." That means sun, sand, and serious adventure.
That means you and your guys are never far from the thrill of the ocean, the challenge of rugged landscapes, and the excitement of Jamaican nightlife. Never far from oceanfront beers and world-class cuisine.
It also means you're just minutes to all of Jamaica's most exiting, most iconic, most adventurous activities. Shenell, your 24/7 concierge, is on-hand to discuss all the options – and to book on your behalf, when you're ready. Choose from:
- Zip-lining
- Waterfall Adventures (rope swings included!)
- Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
- Sport Fishing
- Golfing
- Sailing
- And much more!
You love good food, and private Chef Wayne loves to make it. That's what we call a match made in Jamaica.
Without a doubt, our private chef is one of guests' favorite features at Villa Serenity. The idea is simple, but the execution is getaway-perfect: Build a week's worth of menus – anything and every mouthwatering meal your heart desires (even if it's just the fattest, juiciest steak on the island) – and we'll take care of the grocery shopping (at cost), food prep, cooking, and the cleanup. We'll even keep your beer ice-cold.
Choose from authentic Jamaican cuisine, like fry chicken or steamed fish; mouthwatering Caribbean eats, including coconut shrimp and savory crab cakes; dude favorites like juicy burgers and stuffed jalapeños; and any other meals you can dream up. You set the menu.
Our only rule: You don't do a thing. This is your getaway, so let us handle the drudgery. You just dig in.
A Luxury Jamaican Villa, with Luxury Amenities
What's in a 5-star villa? 5-star amenities, of course!
Our private, ocean-view Jamaican villa offers many all-inclusive amenities and services – everything you'd expect from a 5-star hotel, with all the tranquility and freedom of a private home. Our guests consider it the best of both worlds:
- Private Staff of 5, including a Personal Butler
- Private Beach and Private Resort-style Pool
- 24/7 Concierge Service
- Gourmet Cuisine by your Personal Chef
- Bar Service by your Butler-cum-Bartender
- Private Driver and a 12-seater Coach
- Optional all-inclusive (food + drinks)
- Daily Housekeeping
- High-speed WiFi Internet
- Laundry Service
- Daily Turn-down Service
Guy getaways are a blast – unless you're the one planning them. The over-stressed planner has to deal with the logistics, and the transportation, and the meals, and the bedroom arrangements, and the activities, and the everything.
At Villa Serenity, we take the stress out of planning. When you book with us, our villa concierge will quickly get in touch: What do you need? What's on the wish list? How can we help? We'll take all the hassle out of planning, both before and during your mancation, so you can simply relax and enjoy your time with us
The Villa Serenity Promise
Our firm belief is that a guys' getaway to Jamaica should be about bonding. About fun and good food. About exploration and adrenaline.
Not about cooking, or making reservations, or doing laundry, or cleaning up after yourselves.
When you stay at our ocean-view villa, we take care of everything. Yes, everything. Really! From pre-vacation planning, to mancation logistics, to airport pickup, to group transportation, to housekeeping and laundry, to tour bookings, to gourmet meals, and to everything else on your mind, we're here. We'll handle it.
You just bond. Have fun. Leave the stress to us.
Contact Us:
Don't wait! Take the first step toward an exclusive (and optional all-inclusive!) guys' getaway in Jamaica by calling us at (401) 626-6942, or emailing me (Hi! I'm Cavel.) at email@example.com.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Week 4 NFL Picks
I went with quantity over quality this week so be fore warned.
N.O. +7 @ Carolina
Seattle +3.5 @ Chicago
Dallas -9 @ Tennessee
Jacksonville -3 @ Washington
Atlanta -7.5 vs. Arizona
St. Louis -6 vs. Detroit
Take the blinders off and find out what the "real" story is.
I went with quantity over quality this week so be fore warned.
I am well into a single table S&G. Seven left. Blinds are 100/200, and I have about 2500 in chips. Chip leader is on my right and has 2700 in chips. The chip leader opens UTG for T600, and I look down at TT.
Well, I hit 3/5 of my posted picks for a slight loss for the weekend. I had too much on Chicago, and they missed covering by 1/2 point, or it would have been a great weekend. After reading Scurvy's writeup on sportsbook bonus whoring I thought I would give it a try. I did find something pretty cool.
I usually shy away from betting too much on the NFL until about week 4. Too many crazy things happen, and you have no idea where teams stand early. I ended up placing one bet on Indy in week 1 which won. Week 2, I through caution to the wind and hit 7 out of 9 picks picking up a decent amount of scratch. I have not announced any picks ahead of time, so you will have to take my word for it. Below are my week 3 picks.
I'm still playing tons of the $10, 9 player regular S&Gs on FullTilt, and I am running pretty good. I know I need to move up, but it's fun when your easially the best player at the table. My S&G strategy is pretty simple. I play my ultra-tight cash game strategy for as long as possible. I am also quite a bit more aggressive with the bet sizes than I would be in a cash game. If I am accumulating chips, I may play this way down to three handed and not really make any adjustments for short handed play. Once I get down to about 750 chips or 3-4 handed like above, I flip a switch and start playing a hyper loose aggressive game. This tends to throw off anyone who was paying attention to my tightness early, and usually allows me to pick up some much needed pots late.
Now that the challenge is over, I have been mixing it up, playing single table S&Gs, and last night a bunch of MTTs. I ran the 8k on FullTilt, the 4k on bodog, a 180p S&G on Stars, a $20 MTT on Stars, and a small MTT on WorldPx. I ended up getting through more than 1/2 the field in all 5, but no cashes. That puts me down $91 for the night. It is pretty rare that I will drop that much in one night in cash games, but I think you need to expect that if your running all MTTs. So you have to survive a bunch of nights like that, until you get the big score that makes up for it. Thats pretty tough mentally. I will probably stick with S&Gs for a while, and maybe run 1 or 2 MTTs a night.
I need to raise here to get down to 1 or 2 opponents, or just take it down.
Blinders: raises 600 to 800
*** FLOP *** [3s Ts 8s]
Now thats quite a flop. I have the nut flush draw and 2 overs. Thats 15 outs, If I am behind, but there is a good chance I am still ahead as well. AA and KK are not likely holdings of my opponent, so all my outs should be good. I am thinking, how can I get all of my money in with this hand.
AugustXII: checks
Blinders: bets 1000
AugustXII: raises 6105 to 7105 and is all-in
Well looks like AugustXII is going to help me get the chips in. The push makes it very unlikely he has much more than a pair. My 15 outs are probably good, and I should have a 60% chance minimum of winning the hand, and am getting 3-1 pot odds to call. The win would put me at about 9k in chips, which would be well above par. I think this is an obvious call. Let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.
Blinders: calls 2275 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [3s Ts 8s] [4d]
*** RIVER *** [3s Ts 8s 4d] [6h]
AugustXII: shows [Td Qc] (a pair of Tens)
Blinders: shows [As Kh] (high card Ace)
AugustXII collected 8650 from pot
Well, I missed my outs and IGHN. I still like my play. What about the other guy who won the pot. Anyone like the way he played it? He is the table chip leader, and I have enough chips to cause him some major problems.
Total pot 8650 Rake 0
Board [3s Ts 8s 4d 6h]
From the villans perspective he did the following.
Limped from EP with QT0 (not a great play in my book)
Called a 4x raise from me preflop (I am way to tight preflop for him to make that call, what is he hoping to flop? Plus I am getting close to pot committed already)
Flopped top pair (Queens) with a T kicker, and then check raised me all-in. (why not lead out to see where you stand. I could have AA, KK, QQ, AQ, KQ, As Xs ( all of which has him dominated. When I bet the 1,000, I am pretty much pot committed, so I am not folding if I have any piece of that flop, so why push?)
Anyway, he won. Nice hand sir, but this is the play of the table chip leader when we are down to 60 players.
I did not really want to delve into my thinking about the challenge during the challenge. I thought it would be better to let the thing run its course first. So now that it is over, here are my thoughts and suggestions.
I did not play online on day 29. I did play in the Orange Poker League home tourney. I have blogged about a couple of these events. Basically you play a series of 5 tournaments, once 1/2 the field is eliminated, you start earning points. One point for each place higher that you finish, and one point just for playing. They total up the points for the five events (after you drop your lowest event), and the top 10 points play a championship game. 10% of the buy-in and 20% of the rebuys are skimmed and forwarded to the final event. Over $1,100 is already in the final prize pool. I had a horrible run of cards in the first two events, but managed to earn a few points, then missed event three while in Hawaii. I was sitting in 18th place going into event 4. There would be 38 people this time, so up to 20 points were availiable. The players are pretty bad, but the structrure is pretty crap-shooty.
I did not play much, but a I ran three $10 9 player S&Gs and got a 2nd and third. I also used a token to plat the FT 8k, and went out 218/588. Smokkee argues that burning a token should not count as a loss since it has no cash value. Ok, I will buy it.
I just ordered the 1000pc chip set above. They are real Paulson clay chips, just like they use in most casinos. I am freaking nuts because they are way-way expensive, but you have to pay for the best. I got it with 300 - $1, 250 - $5, 200 - $25, 150 - $100, 50 - $500, and 50 - $1000 chips. I should be able to handle tournaments with up to 30 people, and even run some WSOP type structure tournaments. Not sure what to do with my 1300pc set I currently have. Prolly will sell it on ebay or something.
FullTiltPoker Game #1000330893: Table Anasazi - $0.50/$1 - No Limit Hold'em - 15:03:38 ET - 2006/09/14
Sorry for the bad beat story. I am pretty much over the challenge right now. Prolly will play a few S&Gs or something, but no more cash games for a while.
FullTilt 249h -171.20
WorldPx 45h +7.85
WPx rake refund +2.30
Day 27 Total-161.05
Challenge Total +600.60
Just played a short session online, and would have won a decent amount, but my AA got cracked by KK when a K turned. I played the OCPT home game last night, and rallied back from the short stack on the bubble to get the win. I had the chip leader on my left the whole night which was tough, but I played well late and accumulated a ton of chips. A few key late hands are below.
Well I did it. I won during both sessions on day 25. Blogging about your problems helps. I also decided I needed to chase some sort of bonus, so I played some at World Poker Exchange for the full rake refund. I am going to need to have some big days soon to get to $1,200. Tonight is the OCPT home game, so I probably will not get many hands in online.
I can't seem to put back to back winning sessions together right now.
I tried to turn things around today, and things are going to have to turn around soon, or there is no way I make this challenge. I had a pretty good session early. Then in a later session I got into some troble early when, I open raised with KQo one club, and the flop came Q high all clubs. I hate to get myself into too much trouble with a flop in all one suit, but this is one of those situations that is hard to avoid. I have top pair good kicker, and a draw to the second nut flush. As long as this guy did not flop the flush I am probably good (heads up on flop). The guy had $30 behind, so when he reraised my flop bet, I went ahead and put him in. He had the nut flush, and a K on the turn brought me some outs, but I blanked the river. The day before, I got into the same type of situation when my KK one diamond, flopped an all diamond J high flop. This one the money did not go in until the river (and after the flush hit), but I was also against the flopped nut flush.
I kind of forced myself to get some hands in in the afternoon, even though I did not feel like playing. It was a bad idea. I did not play extreemly bad, just was one of those horrible sessions where nothing was going quite right. 100+ hands into my FullTilt session, I had won 1 hand, and that was preflop. Eventually I got tired of it, quit and called it a day avoiding a late night session.
I ran some more single table S&Gs today. Five $10 buy-ins with 2 second place finishes, and two $6 turbos with a third place. Overall it was a slight loss. I ended up not playing anymore so I could watch the big game, and then skipped a late night session. I am going to need a big weekend at the cash games to get the challenge back on track.
I ran 6 $10 single table S&Gs early in the day to get ready for the Newport Poker Open to be held the night of day 19. The play was horrible in those things compared to my normal cash game competition. I jammed the turn with monster hands three times, and got called each time only to get sucked out on by a 2, 3, and 4 outer on the river each time. In the other 3 I got a first, second, and third for a decent overall profit. My profit would have been real nice if one of the monsters held up. I may try running them 6 at a time, and see what hourly rate I could make. It might be higher than my cash game rate.
It's about time I write about blogger day in Del Mar. Joe Speaker was kind enough to set up this event, and it would be impossible for me to pass it up. I had to pull some strings with the wifey to get permission, but I lobbied long and hard (if you know what I mean). When Bill Rini suggested a TJ trip afterwards, it sounded great, but there was no way I could pull that off. In fact, if I were to even ask, the Del Mar trip would surely be nixed. I was not about to let that happen. The plan was to hook up with Joe, at 15 minutes before the first post at a bar on the 4th level of the stretch run section. I don't own a cell phone, and I don't think they allow pay phones at the track, so it was very important that I arrive on time. I left my house about an hour and 20 minutes before the first post. With no traffic I would get there in about 50 minutes.
I had a pretty good early session on Day 18 and gave it all back in a late session. I am suddenly finding myself paying off flushes and that has to stop. Tonight is the Newport Poker Open on PokerStars. Smokkee is ahead of me in the season standings $342 to $340. Since this is the last event of the season, I will need to finish ahead of Smokkee, and cash to take the title. Smokkee was kind enough to put a $10 bounty on me for tonights event. He must be worried. I have pretty much been only playing cash games lately. Today, I am going to run a bunch of Sit & Goes to get the tournament rust off, and be ready for the big event tonight. One of my stated goals for 2006 was to take the Newport Open Title. Tonight's the night to seal the deal.
It was a good thing that I waited until this week to place the bet. With Big Ben out, the line moved from Pitt -4.5 to a pick over the weekend. Today I put the $1,100 on Pittsburg at Mansion (line was pick). I went to Pinnacle for the hedge based on Scurvy's advice. I really do not like Pitt to win this game, so I decided to over hedge it. This actually has quite a few advantages. I was able to get Miami +1 (-104). You really can't beat that line or price. The other thing that was cool is Pinnacle gives an instant deposit bonus, which makes hedging the bet +EV compared to just letting it roll on Pitt. I deposited 600 which with the insta bonus gave me $660. The Pinnacle betting interface is a little strange in that you put in how much you want to win, not what you want to bet. I ended up laying $655.20 to win $630, after depositing only $600. Overhedging it buys you some insurance in case Mansion decided not to refund your $1,100 if the Pitt bet loses. If you assume that Mansion will pay the Pitt bet if it wins (You have to assume this, unless they shut down the site this Friday), my results will be as follows.
Going into the day, I thought I had a decent chance of closing the challenge out. It looked like I would have some time to play, and the tables had been real fishy over the labor day weekend. One huge day would do it. So what happened? I made a bad call, went on tilt and started spewing chips. I suck. This is how it happened.
Well, I made the effort and got in about 850 hands in on Day 16. The sites seem extra fishy on three day weekends, and I had a pretty good day.
I did some backbreaking work around the house, that kept me from getting too many hands in. I was planning on making up for it by playing a lot at night, but I ended up playing in a 6 handed home tourney instead. We ended up chopping when we were down to 3 players and I made $20. However, I am only including online winnings in my 30 day to $1,200 challenge.
I played mainly at FullTilt for some reason today. Neither Tilt nor Party has any big incentives going right now. I ran into MiamiDon at a FullTilt cash game, and we were running the table. Well, actually I stacked a guy who wanted to get all-in preflop with 88 against my AA, and Miami was constantly beating down the fishes, and thats how we ended up 1/2 in chips. I sat with my big stack and could not get much else going.
I played just enough to clear the $100 reload bonus on Party Poker. It was a pretty wild session where I won a few big pots, which made up for quite a few tough situations that I got into. The biggest trouble I seem to get into at Party and other sites, is when people play super weak with a decent holding. On one hand I had TT and bet it the whole way against a safe looking low board. KK called me down and won. On a very similar hand, I had KQ hit a Q high flop, and bet it the whole way. Again KK shows up out of no where. Now that the bonus has cleared, I am not sure If I will go back to FullTilt or not. I need to check out what incentives the two sites are offering for September.

For most people, buying a house is the biggest purchase they ever make. Prior to arranging a house mortgage, ensure that you know your budget for borrowing. Discover where to obtain a house mortgage loan, and how the procedure works.
Mortgages are loans that are taken out to purchase land or property. The majority of these have a twenty-five year term, however it might be longer or shorter. These loans are secured against the property values, until borrowers have repaid them. In the event that you fail to meet your monthly repayments, your lender can take back (repossess) your property and sell it, to get their cash back.
There are many different kinds of house mortgage loans available. The loan that is best for you depends on your long term goals and financial circumstances. While some people try to profit from real estate by making short term investments, others intend to live in their home for decades. We can save you considerable effort and time, by matching you with the right house mortgage loan for your situation.
Some of the usual real estate industry phrases linked to house mortgage loans are APR (annual percentage rate), points and closing fees, ect. All of these things (along with several other fees) are negotiable. The most eye catching mortgage adverts are not necessarily the most affordable, because of potential undisclosed fees. Refrain from stretching your finances, if you believe you will struggle to meet the repayments. Also, consider the cost of home ownership, like maintenance work, insurance and household bills. Comparing the APRs of different loans is a good way to find the cheapest option, because all fees are legally required to be included in these calculations. Frequently, you may have to request this data, if the mortgage advert does not mention the APR.
Applications for house mortgage loans can be submitted to banks directly, based on their range of products. We can help you to compare the different mortgages available, along with mortgages that are not offered to customers directly. We assess products from several different lenders, and will tell you whether they impose any fees.
Generally speaking, mortgage payments will not be any higher than twenty-eight percent of the borrower's entire income. To qualify for a house mortgage loan, you need a solid ratio of debt to income. Vehicle loans, credit card bills and additional debts are all taken into account. It is wise to find out the amount you can apply for, prior to searching for a property.
If you can provide a cash payment of twenty percent of the property's purchase price, your rate of interest will be reduced, and you can avoid getting PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). This insurance is necessary for low equity buyers, because it will cover the payments if the buyer is unable to. Also, to protect their funds, creditors demand PMI when buyers make a deposit of under twenty percent. This is due to the fact that initially, the mortgage (with its' interest and charges) will be worth more than the property. Of course, once the loan repayments are made over time, this all changes. Eventually, this will build to about twenty percent equity. When this happens, PMI (and the related charges) finishes.
If mortgage holders default on payments, following the expiration of PMI, creditors can foreclose their properties. In this situation, the borrower has failed to meet the contract terms, so the creditor can have them evicted and sell the real estate to recover losses. Borrowers lose everything when this occurs. However, this normally occurs at an early stage. After people have built equity up in their homes, they usually prefer to preserve their investment at all costs.
Refinancing is a popular option with cash strapped mortgage holders, who have accumulated significant equity. These people can reduce their monthly payments, by refinancing their mortgage over a lengthy time period. Other mortgage holders use this strategy to acquire equity from their properties as cash payments. Typically, this is used to fund home improvement work.
A house mortgage loan can be long term or short term, variable or fixed rate. Finding the most suitable loan can be a challenge though. We offer professional guidance and can advise you about all the available options, to match you with the right creditor and plan.

By that I actually mean the good eats I recently discovered within walking distance from where I work (possible for lunch), but I hate long titles.
Menkui Tei Ramen
on 56th St, between 5th and 6th Ave
Tonkotsu Ramen (hot in rich pork bone broth noodle soup with 2 pieces of roast pork among other things on top)
The soup, as you can see, tasted heavenly… (I know, you don't exactly see heaven in there, but it's okay, just go try the soup ;-)
The noodles and meat and everything else was all good, but I have to say the only thing I just cannot forget from this dish is the flavorful soup, and that alone is worth the trip.
My advice though: If you're going to order one of the hot noodle soup entrees, try avoid going on the hottest summer days; or at least, don't sit right next to the kitchen (if you have party of two and above you will get a table, which is farther from the kitchen stoves). They do have AC but I don't think it's set to the usual level you expect from an American restaurant at all. The place is small and authentic, with lots of Japanese people frequenting.
Before you go you also want to take a look at the photos section of the Yelp page to see what the entrance looks like. There's no sign at the front carrying the name Menkui Tei.
Jar Jar Ramen (cold soupless with ground pork soybean sauce, sliced cucumber, bean sprout etc), My favorite!
Hiyashi Ramen (cold with sesame seed sauce, roast pork, imitation crab, pickled ginger etc)
Halal Food Cart at 53rd and 6th
Here's how I found this one:

It has certainly been a while since I posted – for that I apologize!
I have been very busy in the intervening time – July was a week away with the family, with lots of little bits of crafting going on ready for a swap – crochet mats, I-cords, doilies and washcloths. Since then I have been doing so much – started doing art journalling for myself, paper crafting, lots and lots of knitting, some crocheting and a little bit of hand sewing. Most of this crafting, especially the yarn work, was for swaps, and I have received some wonderful items in return.
Currently in 3 swaps over on Crafster, so got lots and lots of crafting to do – mainly knitting, but a little bit of sewing as well – will post about those later 🙂
I also received a wonderful present from LeslieHappyHeart (someone from Craftster) for my two boys – I haven't got access to a camera at the moment, so as soon as I can get some pictures I will show you the awesomeness that found it's way here from Williamsburg VA.
Thats about it for now, so happy crafting, and I'll try to keep this up a bit more from now on 🙂

View from South beach, The Hague #3/09
Flying high with typical Dutch Sky
oil on canvas
30 x 40 cm
painted on location Saturday 16 May 2009
Dutch skys are not renowned for nothing. Many a painters have made the pilgrimage in order to paint the celebrated Dutch skies. Claude Monet from France, Robert Henri from America, just to mention two. It feels good to be back at my favorite spot, on the beach. Even though it was a haphazard weather situation, the wind was cooperating with me in keeping those threatening clouds up and moving. That seagull also appreciated the wind, as it carried her about in a most gracious manner. Love to hear from you, why not drop me a line or two.

Hi Alberto,
The love you have for south beach is palpable on this one! Is your signature subject, and so well executed! You blended skies, sea and the beach in a terrific manner. Fantastic coloring. I love it.

The New York Times announced Wednesday that it replaced executive editor Jill Abramson with managing editor Dean Baquet.
In the story the Times filed, publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said that Abramson leaving was due to a problem with her "management style" and was not a reflection of the quality of the journalism produced during her time at the executive editor's desk. In fact, the paper won four Pulitzer Prizes in 2013 with Abramson running the newsroom.
Twitter lit up in the hour following the announcement, as did speculation on whether Abramson's firing was sexist.
The tweets might come across as mere speculation, except that the media's treatment of Abramson's management style has been called sexist before.
Abramson's two-year tenure at the helm of the Times has been the topic of articles in The New Yorker and Forbes, but her personality came into the spotlight notably in Politico's piece last year, which detailed an altercation between Abramson and Baquet and described Abramson as "bitchy" and "very unpopular."
Hanna Rosin of Slate chastised Politico's reporting as "pretty thin" and argued that Abramson was coming under fire because people simply couldn't handle a woman with her kind of personality. Rosin used the example of Abramson's predecessor, Bill Keller, who also had a strong personality some had problems with.
"(Keller) was described by his own wife as 'socially autistic,' " Rosin wrote. "But people got past that. They loved him anyway. David Carr, the former drug addict turned larger-than-life columnist, is unimaginable in female form."
Abramson's removal is more puzzling given details Vox's Matt Yglesias reported about what a success the Times was under Abramson's watch.
Not everyone thinks Abramson's departure could be black-and-white sexism. Buzzfeed concentrated on a recent report that criticized the Times' digital performance.
Others, like Abramson supporter and Reuters writer Jack Schafer, speculated that bigger problems at the Times forced Abramson's departure.
"My guess would be that (Times publisher) Arthur [Sulzberger] Jr. asked @JillAbramson to do something bad for journalism that she didn't want to do," Schafer tweeted.

The victory of Yammer (www.yammer.com), a copy of Twitter but with a business plan, at the TechCrunch50 last week has surprised me and raises important questions regarding the organization of the conference and possible conflicts of interest between start-ups and organizers of the event. It is rumored that the choice would have been broadly supportive of this West Hollywood based start-up through a close relationship with one of the sponsors of TC50 and Michael Arrington, co-founder of the event.
Yammer is a subsidiary of the company Geni (www.geni.com), which was started by David Sacks, former Paypal COO. Sacks's former boss, Peter Thiel, runs the venture capital firm Founders Funds and is a sponsor of TechCrunch50.
Journalist Thomas Owen affirms in an article that: "Arrington has long been rumored to favor startups backed by the VCs who sponsor his event." He concludes: "He brags that he does not care startups directly to appear on stage. But he seems to like to have them in his pocket, one way or another."
If you attended or followed TC50, which launching start-up would you have chosen to win the $50,000 winning prize?

Danny Thorpe is an American programmer noted mainly for his work on Delphi.
He was the Chief Scientist for Windows and .NET developer tools at Borland Corporation starting from January 2004 until October 2005, as well as Chief Architect of the Delphi programming language from 2000 to 2005. He joined Borland in 1990 as an associate QA engineer working on Turbo Pascal 6.0. He was a member of the team that created the Delphi programming language, Visual Component Library (VCL), and IDE, released in 1995. In 1999, he was a founding member of the Kylix team, implementing the Delphi compiler and development environment on Linux, released in 2001. After the release of Kylix, he was the founder and lead programmer for Borland's Delphi .NET effort, porting and extending the Delphi language to the Microsoft .NET platform.
In 1994 while at Borland, he contracted with Santa Cruz startup Cinematronics (David Stafford and Mike Sandige) to build a component model and collision physics engine for a software pinball game. Cinematronics licensed an early version of the pinball engine to Microsoft for the Windows 95 Plus! Pack's "Space Cadet" pinball game. Cinematronics was later acquired by Maxis, who published Full Tilt! Pinball in 1996 and a sequel in 1998.[1]
He joined Microsoft's Windows Live Platform team in April 2006 as a Principal Software Development Engineer. His primary focus at Microsoft was the development of a secure client-side cross-domain scripting library[4] for browser web apps, as well as the Windows Live Contacts Control[5] built upon that library.
In October 2007, he joined startup Cooliris to work on the PicLens browser plugin for 3D visualization of web content.
In June 2008, he returned to Microsoft to work in a newly formed Cloud Computing Tools incubation team creating Visual Studio extensions to support development of applications for Microsoft's Windows Azure hosted services environment and Live Mesh / Live Framework client-side and offline web application environment.[6][7]
In October 2010 he joined BiTKOO as Chief Software Architect to develop XACML based cloud scale distributed authorization and access control technologies. When BiTKOO was acquired by Quest Software in December 2011, he assumed the role of Product Architect in the Identity and Authorization Management (IAM) group at Quest Software. When Quest Software was acquired by Dell in September 2012, he continued to work on XACML authorization technologies under the title of Authorization Architect.
He lives on a small farm in the Santa Cruz mountains near Ben Lomond, California.

Three hopefuls vie for three Medley council seats
The math is simple. Three candidates vying for two open council seats means one thing: Somebody will walk away disappointed.
Such is the storyline as the Medley municipal election approaches next week.
Two incumbents whose seats are up for grabs, Edgar Ayala and Jack Morrow, are seeking to remain there. One political newcomer to the Medley arena, Ivan Pacheco, is hoping to unseat one of the two and take his place at the dais for the next four years.
Election Day is next Tuesday, Nov. 4 and the only place Medley voters will be able to vote is right at Town Hall, 7777 NW 72nd Ave. between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Mayor Roberto Martell along with two other council members, Grisela Digiacomo and Susanna Guasch, won their four-year seats two years ago and will come up for re-election in 2016.
Morrow served on the council from 1978 to 2004, serving as mayor from 1995 to 2004. After a six-year hiatus, he returned in 2010 at the age of 69 to run for a council seat and garnered the necessary votes to grab one of the available seats.
"This was a big decision because of me being 73," said Morrow. "But my health is perfect. I'm a fish eater and have been a vegetarian since I was 41 but nevertheless I also talked it over with my wife Judi and she said it was up to me. I just feel like there are no experienced council members up there right now. Being mayor three times and being on the council since 1978, I know how to help this town.
"Also, I'm an engineer, I worked for a big company, I also had my own business and built it up from nothing, was able to retire after selling it and ran for mayor. In my opinion, there is no substitute for experience."
After running unsuccessfully two previous times, Ayala finally broke through two years ago.
An air-conditioning technician who has been a Medley resident for 22 years, Ayala actually ran in a special election when a council seat became vacant after Gerardo Silva Jr., who had been elected in 2010, stepped down preceding the 2012 election to run against Martell for the mayor's seat.
"It's been a learning process but a good one," Ayala said when asked to assess his first two years as a Medley councilman. "When we got together with the mayor, we came together like a good administration. Oftentimes, we (all the council members) got to know each other in the process and feel like we have worked together very effectively as a council.
"I believe I've been doing a good job for our town, have been a resident for the last 22 years and it's been like a family being a part of this council. I feel like I've been doing what's best for the residents of Medley and wish to continue to do so."
Pacheco enters as the unknown wild card, if you will.
He is a six-year resident of Medley and worked 20 years in the aviation business before spending the last five years self-employed buying and selling auto parts to Central America.
"The reason I decided to run was that I believe this town has a great deal of potential to grow and I want to represent the growth of this town because of my residence here and my businesses as well," said Pacheco. "I have spent the last 33 years in this country, a resident of Medley for the last six years and been working the streets getting to know the residents and businesses for the past two years.
"My kids come here to the afterschool program, I have come to every (council) meeting for the past two years to stay on top of the ball and come to know and understand what's going on within the town. In that time I haven't seen much progress within the town and it's about time for some people to jump into our town goverment and see if we can move forward."

When it comes to making sandwiches and wraps, I am full of issues. I want to add so many topping that I can hardly close them and eat them in a civilized manner. Some examples of this are:
Today, I didn't even try. It was one of my rare days where I had time to make lunch at home and I wanted to take advantage of my warm toasted bread. As soon as the bread popped out of the toaster I slathered Cedar's Original Hummus on both sides and added slices of Swiss cheese to melt on top. I added my other toppings: turkey breast, spinach, mushrooms, Roma tomato, sprouts and cucumber and ate it as is. I decided that it would be much more enjoyable to eat it like this rather than trying to push it down and wrap my mouth around it. I ended up cutting each slice in half to reduce the mess-factor and happily ate my "sandwich" (can you still call it that if it isn't actually sandwiched together?). This was to die for. I LOVE (strong emphasis) toasted bread. It brings out all of the flavors in the nutty grains and has the best texture, that is sturdy enough to hold all of my toppings. I also think there is nothing like warm hummus and melted cheese. It is so…cozy, I only wish I had some cool avocado to lay on top of it, then it would have been the ultimate sandwich. I had some green grapes and a big carrot on the side. It was such a relaxing and delightful lunch.
In fact I was so relaxed that I ended up having a piece of chocolate and a cup of tea right after then promptly took a nap! I NEVER take naps, but it was just one of those days. I'm getting ready to go to the etiquette dinner this evening, which should be entertaining. To be honest, I've never really learned what all of those forks and spoons are for. I'm sure my bad table manners don't stop there either. In fact I know they don't. If you were sitting with me eating that sandwich today you would have probably been repulsed by my messiness, as my toppings were falling EVERYWHERE!
Living and Learning,
Have you ever learned proper dining etiquette?
