Late last month, Miami-Dade school district officials scolded the Academy of Arts & Minds charter school for charging fees to students to attend basic classes in violation of state law.
But when the schools governing board met the next day, the fee issue was not mentioned. And when a parent began reading from the districts warning letter to the school, two board members walked out.
The tense meeting was the latest skirmish in a growing dispute between a group of parents and the leadership of the Coconut Grove charter school, which, despite high academic scores, is burdened by shaky finances and high staff turnover. Just last week, the schools principal resigned the second principal to quit in six months.
At the center of the controversy is Manuel Alonso-Poch, the schools founder and its de facto leader. Alonso-Poch, a real-estate lawyer, is the schools landlord, its spokesman, its food-service provider, its most generous donor and thanks to a recent $90,000-a-year no-bid contract its financial manager.
He runs it all, said Kevin Sawyer, who resigned as principal on Sept. 30. He said he resigned over health reasons, and because of clashes with Alonso-Poch over a lack of textbooks and supplies. Its beyond madness.
Now several parents have written letters asking the Miami-Dade school district to examine Alonso-Pochs many ties with the publicly funded school, which they describe as a conflict of interest. Meanwhile, the parents say, the first weeks of school at Arts & Minds were marred by a lack of books and teachers.
My son has not had a math teacher but for two days. Were in what, the fifth week of school? Sherri Myers, the head of the schools parent teacher student association, complained at a Sept. 23 meeting of the schools governing board.
The parents have also challenged the independence of the charter schools governing board which includes Alonso-Pochs cousin and a phantom board member who lives in Peru.
Alonso-Poch defends his many roles with Arts & Minds, and he says the controversy is being over-blown by a small group of disgruntled parents who dont speak for all the parents at the school. He said new books have been ordered, and new teachers have been hired.
Its a very successful school, Alonso-Poch said, pointing to the schools A rating last year from the state Department of Education. He called the school his labor of love, and he resents being portrayed by parents as an educational profiteer.
The essence of our intentions is to make sure we have the best school in Dade County, he said.
Charter schools such as Arts & Minds are funded with taxpayer dollars, but they are run by independent governing boards. The school district may close a school if it has a poor academic or financial record, but otherwise has little power over a charter schools day-to-day operations.
Myers and other parents want the current Arts & Minds board replaced, and they requested a parent representative on the board. One parent, Carlos Hernandez, filed a lawsuit this summer accusing the school of failing to turn over public records.
We want the board to fully comply with the laws. We have evidence that that has not occurred, Myers told the board last month. The school today is not in the condition it was a year ago.
The boards vice chair, Cecilia Holloman, said the board has the schools interests in mind, and described the parents campaign as a witch hunt aimed at taking over the board. She said she sees no conflict with Alonso-Pochs multiple roles with the school, and calls his influence a blessing.They have every right to complain, said Holloman, who also worked with Alonso-Poch at another nonprofit. At the end of the day, they are parents. They are not decision-makers for that school. Six or twelve parents are not going to run that school.
Alonso-Poch and the board have said they would consider placing a parent on the board but only someone loyal to the school.
Theyre like babies that want to be on this board, Alonso-Poch told a parent group after the Sept. 23 meeting. To Hernandez, he said: Why dont you go build your own school?
Alonso-Poch did just that in 2003, when the real-estate lawyer bought a four-story shopping mall in Coconut Groves Commodore Plaza and turned it into Arts & Minds, the first performing-arts charter school in Miami-Dade County. The high school has sent several students to prestigious arts schools and the Ivy League.
Arts & Minds received about $2.4 million in tax dollars in the 2009-10 school year, records show. But the school has long depended on money from Alonso-Poch to stay afloat.
Alonso-Poch says he has donated more than $2 million to the school over the past eight years some in cash, some in forgiven rent and at times has had to pay the mortgage on the school building from his own pocket.
But Alonso-Poch has profited, too: The school pays more than $77,000 a month in rent to Alonso-Pochs company, records show, though Alonso-Poch said the mortgage costs about $45,000 a month. All of the property devoted to the school is not taxed.
In addition, the school paid $147,000 in 2009 and 2010 to another Alonso-Poch company to provide student lunches. Alonso-Poch said his food-service company is not a profit-making enterprise.
If there are areas where profits are made, I dont see whats wrong with that, he said.
Alonso-Poch said the school is more expensive to run than a traditional school because it requires a theater, dance studios and other large spaces for performing arts, making it harder to balance the books at a time when public-school revenue is falling statewide.
If this school doesnt succeed, the only one who goes under is me. I mean financially, Alonso-Poch told parents after the Sept. 23 meeting. I have a personal guarantee on this mortgage.
Holloman said the schools board has never considered moving to another, cheaper location. I think were kind of lucky to be here, she said.
In July, the schools board agreed to hire a company called EDU Management to run the school a company Alonso-Poch created in April, state records show. Under the contract, EDU Management will receive $200 for each of the 450 students at the school.
Alonso-Poch now manages the schools expenses and makes the lease payments on the schools behalf to his own real-estate company.
When questioned about the contract at a board meeting, Holloman first told parents that Alonso-Poch had no role with the management company until Alonso-Poch corrected her. Holloman also told parents the company was hired after a competitive bidding process.
But in an interview last week, Alonso-Poch and Holloman said the management contract was not competitive, though they compared prices with other charter-management companies. They said the management company was created at the suggestion of the school district, to better clarify Alonso-Pochs role with the school.
However, Tiffanie Pauline, who oversees charter schools for the district, said her office did not recommend a management company for Arts & Minds.
Some parents are supportive of Alonso-Poch, and worry that the controversy will damage the schools reputation. My child is happy there, said Jacqui Huggett, whose son is a senior. All this bad press isnt helping.
But several parents began noticing problems at the school last year. At a board meeting in January, the schools former principal, William Machado, expressed doubts about the schools practice of photocopying textbooks for the students, records show.
Holloman said Machado expanded the number of classes last year before ordering the necessary supplies, leading to the book shortage.
Tony Manning, who graduated from the school in June, said students had to purchase many of their own textbooks and were regularly given extra credit for bringing reams of paper. Manning, 18, dropped an Advanced Placement biology course after learning he would have to shell out $150 for the college-level text.
That was the norm, he said.
By April, Machado had resigned, citing his disagreement with management. He was replaced by Sawyer, who said he was not allowed to purchase textbooks and had no control over the schools finances.
I was building bridges with the parents, said Sawyer. But Manny Alonso-Poch and the governing board would not let me do my job.
As administrators leave the school, parents have begun raise questions about the board.
As recently as July 28, the school listed theater instructor Jorge Guerra-Castro as an at large board member though Guerra-Castro lives in Lima, Peru. Alonso-Poch said Guerra-Castro was one of the schools original founders, and he remained as an honorary board member after moving to Peru six years ago.
But Guerra-Castro told The Miami Herald that he has never been formally affiliated with the school and he was unaware of his purported board position until he was contacted by a reporter.
Very bizarre, said Guerra-Castro. He said he gave informal advice to Alonso-Poch when he was planning Arts & Minds, but Guerra-Castro never agreed to be on the board. I have no idea whats going on.
Alonso-Pochs response: Thats shocking to me that he would say that.
Dr. Jose Noy, a Miami physician, was also listed as a board member until July; however, Noy did not attend any board meetings for at least 2½ years, records show. Noy did not return phone calls seeking comment.
The questions at Arts & Minds have now drawn the attention of the Miami-Dade school district, which said it will examine the schools practices in the coming months.
On Sept. 22, district officials cited the school for charging fees to students for basic classes such as English, social studies and math classes charter schools, like public schools, must provide free of charge.
Arts & Minds now must account for all of the fees it collected since 2007. The school must reimburse any students who were wrongly charged, or the schools funding could be withheld.
The schools new principal, Jorge Suarez, said he believes all the fees were legitimate, but some were labeled incorrectly, making them appear improper.
Manning, the A&M graduate who now attends Florida State University, said he and his former classmates should be reimbursed.
I want my money back, he said. I want justice to be served.

Ever run out of battery power in the middle of an important meeting or a long flight? Even with advances in technology, your laptop battery can last only so long on a single charge. The trick is to squeeze the most out of the power that's available.
Use the Power saver power plan to maximize your battery life. You can always return to this article later to try more power-saving tips. To choose the Power saver plan, open Power Options in Control Panel.
Chances are, you already have ways to make sure your laptop always has power. Maybe you carry an extra battery, or your power cord, so you can recharge your laptop when a power plug is handy. (Always consult your manufacturer's instructions for the best way to recharge your battery.)
When those strategies fail, here are some other ways to help stretch your computer's battery life.
Choose a power plan that saves power
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how your laptop manages power. Windows 7 has two default plans:
Balanced. Offers full performance and display brightness when you need it, but conserves power when the computer is idle.
Power saver. The best choice for extending battery life. The cost? Slower performance and lower display brightness.
Your computer manufacturer might offer additional plans.
Click the battery meter icon in the notification area of the Windows taskbar.
Select one of the default power plans: Balanced or Power saver.
You can also create your own custom power saver plans. For more information, see Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme).
Reduce display brightness
The display can use more power than any other part of a computer—even more than a hard disk and CPU. Some laptops have a dedicated button or dial to change the display brightness. To find out if your laptop has something like this, check the information that came with your computer or go to the manufacturer's website. You can also adjust the display brightness from Power Options in Control Panel.
Shorten the length of time before Windows dims and turns off the display
When you're not using the laptop—even for brief periods of time—you can save power by having Windows dim and then turn off the display after a period of inactivity.
Open Power Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking Power Options.
On the Select a power plan page, on the left, click Choose when to turn off the display.
Doing this adjusts settings only for the plan that you're currently using. To change settings for another plan, click Change plan settings next to the plan that you want to change.
On the Change settings for the plan page, choose the display settings that you want to use for this power plan when your laptop is running on battery and when it's plugged in.
Click Save changes.
Turn off or remove devices that you aren't using
Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and by using a touch pad or tablet pen. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you're not using it.
Turn off PC cards and integrated wireless devices
These devices also use power. If you don't need them, turn them off.

Text Only | SAMHSA
News Home
By Leslie Quander Wooldridge
Organizations across the Nation are delivering needed services and interventions to at-risk populations and those with substance abuse and mental health issues.
SAMHSA is taking steps to honor the efforts of these programs as a part of its mission to build resilience and facilitate recovery. The Agency's new Science and Service Awards program recently recognized 20 public and private sector organizations and community-based coalitions that have improved their communities by providing evidence-based interventions.
During this first year of the Science and Service awards program, applications poured in from around the country. In the end, SAMHSA received 115 applications, and the 20 inaugural awardees were selected based on independent reviews of all submissions as well as site visits.
Four awardees were chosen in each of five categories: substance abuse prevention, treatment of substance abuse and recovery support services, mental health promotion, treatment of mental illness and recovery support services, and co-occurring disorders.
Back to Top
To be eligible for an award, each organization needed to demonstrate successful use of a recognized evidence-based intervention, including interventions published in the scientific literature or those that appear on a Federal or state registry.
"The success that these organizations demonstrate and the positive impact they have on individuals and families is visible proof of the importance and direct benefit of using the latest strategies to prevent and treat mental illnesses and substance abuse in our communities," said SAMHSA Administrator Terry L. Cline, Ph.D.
Five organizations were recognized at SAMHSA's National Advisory Council meeting in September, with the remaining winners scheduled to appear at other Agency events.
With representatives from each of the five organizations present to talk about their community success stories, Kevin Hennessy, Ph.D., SAMHSA's Science to Service Coordinator, said the awards were important.
"The goal is to reduce lag time between translating the research on these interventions into actual practice," Dr. Hennessy said, noting that this process of transition can last 15 to 20 years. (See SAMHSA News, September/October 2006.) "Our recognition of these awardees gives them an opportunity to share interventions with their peers and excite other professionals in the field to create change."
At the awards ceremony, representatives from each of the five organizations talked about how their programs have helped people at the local level.
Virginia Hoft, Executive Director of Sante Fe Adolescent Services (winner in the category of substance abuse prevention) said her agency has helped youth by using evidence-based interventions.
"A lot of times, what we saw with our kids is that they got what was left over," Ms. Hoft said. Since the organization's program uses interventions based in schools, homes, and communities to strengthen families and increase resiliency in at-risk youth, she added that community partnerships have been critical to the organization's success. "We treat our participants like they're family, and we treat our community partners like they're customers."
For more information on the awards program and winners, visit the Science and Service Awards page on SAMHSA's Web site at www.samhsa.gov/scienceandservice.

text: Shine Eraser is rated 4.1194 out of 5 by 402. Rated 3 out of 5 by sabs from On the fence I'm on the fence about the product. I don't feel like it removes the oil but it seems to remove the shine. It's not like the Neutrogena oil blotting pads. Not sure I would buy it again. Date published: 2014-04-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by hollya from Best value! I use this stuff like it's my birth control. These sheets are way cheaper than the ones sold by other brands. However, like other reviewers have said, it usually takes more than one sheet to get the job done. On most occasions, two sheets are enough for me. Date published: 2014-03-19 Rated 4 out of 5 by mehweeh from Good value If you're someone with really oily skin, then you're going to have to stock up on this product! My face doesn't get that oily during the winter and I usually use one sheet for the rest of the day. I find that these are too thin. If it was summer right now, I would use a lot cause it would just absorb the sweat on my hands. But for $1, that is fine by me and I got these half off. The drugstore ones (coloured blue and feels more plastic) cost about $6 for 30 sheets. If it's elf, you could spend $6 for 300 sheets. Date published: 2014-03-10 Rated 5 out of 5 by PinkyJen21 from WOW..NO MORE SHINE BY MID-DAY (IT NEVER FAILS) MY FACE GET REALLY SHINY. THIS PRODUCT I LOVE!! POP ONE OF THESE BAD BOYS OUT AND WAAA-LAAAA NO MORE SHINY FORHEAD! :) Date published: 2014-02-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by PlatinumKookie from goood for the price there is 50 in the pack i seen a couple ppl askin how many is in it.. for the price they are pretty good! i'd buy again!! Date published: 2014-01-28 Rated 3 out of 5 by SmallTownBeautyBlog from They are alright. I have used a couple packages of these, and I will continue to use them just because they are so much cheaper than other brands. They are easy to get out of the package and they are the typical size of a blotting paper. The only bad thing is that you may have to use a couple of them to do the job of one from another brand. That's not a huge deal to me, since they are only $1, but to others that might be a deal breaker. They do sell these at my local Target (for $1), so if you don't plan on making a bigger order online, you may want to check your Target so you don't have to pay shipping. :) Date published: 2014-01-27 Rated 2 out of 5 by candy4me from Doesnt compete with oil absorbption films Works fine but to do the job of one oil absorption film (eg. CLean nCLear or Gatsby), I need about 3 or 4 of them. One blot on my oily skin and that area's done. I graded it as fair because the price is very nice. Date published: 2014-01-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by EllieJellyEllie from Makes me Feel less shiny I lover these! I got them a while ago and they make me feel less oily. I use them in the summer on an everyday basis. In the winter only sometimes.My friend needed a blotting sheet so I gave her one, she went from shiny to a natural glow. The sheet was disgusting but her skin was so mush nicer. Would reccomend. Date published: 2013-12-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by Maddie50322 from Great for my Oily/Combination Skin I was in need of oil blotting sheets and these did the trick for my oily/combination skin. I like to have these around with me because I usually get shiny mid-day and these make my skin look less greasy. Usually 1 sheet is all I need because I only get oily in my t-zone. Sometimes too if the oiliness is really bad. For $1 this is a great value. I will definitely repurchase these. Date published: 2013-12-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by 68caguin from LOVE THESE! I bought a couple of packs of these shine erasers to try, LOVE THEM! I keep one in my purse at all times! For me they work great since I have oily skin. By lunch time my forehead will look like an oil slick, but these little beauties suck all that oil and freshen up my face in not time! These are a must have for me now. And for a $1, great value!! Date published: 2013-12-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by Sam44 from Perfect :) Even though I can't buy these I'm canada anywhere and I have to ship them in I find that it is worth it. They work so much better than the ones I bought from clean and clear! They literally absorb all the oil off of my very very oily face Date published: 2013-11-25 Rated 4 out of 5 by ireignmakeup from Good Product for Great Price! I have a combination/oily skin and I need something to help with that. I usually use clean & clear and love the product but its pretty pricey. However, I found these sheets at a great price - so why not? I love them, they work great expect for two expectations: they are very difficult to get out. C&C has some tacky glue on the lid to help with pulling out one sheet and secondly, they are super super thin. So I use 4 sheets instead of 2 for all over shine control. All-in-all good product. Date published: 2013-11-15 Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexus from Love! I tend to get oily in the T-zone, so these are a great solution. Takes the shine away. Great looking skin afterwards. I put these in my purse and car. Will be buying more of these. Thanks E.L.F. for making such wonderful products at the best prices. Date published: 2013-11-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by vigachigga from ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I have to have these with me wherever I go as I have super oily skin and need to blot a few times a day. These are amazing as they are so cheap and they work like a charm. They do such a great job on sucking up all the excess oil on my face and I highly recommend it to people with oily skin like me. Date published: 2013-11-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by NYC from Glad I purchased I have oily skin and by the end of the day, if I want it to have less shine, I'll have to take off and redo all my face makeup. However, now that I have these, I can take them anywhere and have oil-fee skin all day! Date published: 2013-10-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jia from LOVE EM BEST THING EVER! It is cheap and inexpensive. I buy 10 packs at a time and have one in every bag I carry. They don't completely mattify my skin to 0 percent oil which is exactly what I want. I want a dewy look without excess oil but not soaked out of all the oil where I look like I over-powdered myself. It still leaves a healthy radiant natural glow on your face after using it which is exactly how oil blotting sheets should work - remove EXCESS oil but not all of it! Date published: 2013-10-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by Liz from Couldn't Live Without These things are life savers. I'm so glad I found them, and they are so much cheaper than the other blotting sheets out there. I can't go anywhere without these. Literally. If I only take my wallet somewhere, I stuff them in my wallet. These things are on my must have list. Date published: 2013-10-09 Rated 2 out of 5 by Allison from Low quality I got these a few weeks ago because my face has started to become very oily and these don't do anything for it! It takes sometime 6+ just to slighty reduce the oil, they tear easily, and seem to pick up more of my foundation than anything else. Date published: 2013-09-11 Rated 4 out of 5 by krfty1125 from Great product I have very oily skin and these beauty blotters are a must for me several times a day. I just wish they were a little bigger because I have to use two to get my whole face. Just as good as the pricey ones. Date published: 2013-09-07 Rated 1 out of 5 by Mafe from Not what I expected I was excited to try this product. But it was very dissapointing. I have to use several sheets to barely remove the oil. I wish that the powder on these sheets would be more present to help mattify the skin. Dont get me wrong. For the price its not horrible but there are better products out there. Date published: 2013-07-30 Rated 5 out of 5 by Carrie On from No more greasy face! I have never used blotting papers before, mostly because I never really knew to use them. I have a very oily t-zone, and the summer in Texas is making it very obvious! I picked a pack of these up just to try out and finally got around to using them a few weeks later. They are awesome! I had to use three to get the grease off my face but I couldn't believe how much better I looked after. There was a bit of shine, but it was definitely matte and looked more dewy than oily. I'm going to buy these and keep them everywhere (car, purse, work, home, etc.). I did have to use three of them to knock out all my shine, but at this price, I'm completely okay with that. Date published: 2013-07-19 Rated 2 out of 5 by Tasha from Not so great I hate that I have to use three to four sheets just to get all the oil off of my face I've found much better ones from various stores where I only use one at most two. Date published: 2013-07-18 Rated 4 out of 5 by s_dizzle from Almost perfect... When I first got this product I was pretty happy with the packaging. Its about the size of a credit card, and not too thick. It fits in my wallet when I don't feel like carrying a purse. I have an oily t-zone, so I needed something to combat the shine. I never got a completely matte effect, but over all there was less shine and my skin was left feeling soft. My only complaint is that they tear very easily. But to be fair, it might be because I was being too rough with them. Date published: 2013-07-15 Rated 5 out of 5 by Nessa from I would so repurchase! I have oily skin I'm not going to lie. This product is amazing! You will get a matte finish in no time . Takes less than 5 minutes. Date published: 2013-07-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by Cesi from Love 'em! Let me start by saying I have extremely oily skin. I use these when I'm at school, going out, etc. They're super easy to use & I only need one to take off all the oil from my face. I use one by patting it all over my face & then brush my powder on top to keep my skin matte for a good 2-3 hours. Date published: 2013-07-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by cosmeticcandice from great for the dollar A lot of other companies are a lot more expensive and you don't get very many sheets. As other people said they are kind of thin so if I'm extra oily I will end up using 2 sheets, but I feel so much better afterwords. The packaging is also perfect and small for a purse or even a wallet. I love these! Date published: 2013-07-01 Rated 4 out of 5 by Lexi from Very convenient I really like this, it's super convenient since I have fairly oily skin. I have to use two to three answers though at a time. But the cost and quality evens all that out though. I love it but gave it four stars because it can be extremely difficult to take one sheet out at a time and impossible to put back any extras accidentally taken out. I recommend giving it a shot though, you won't regret it. Date published: 2013-06-19 Rated 3 out of 5 by KatB from Good product These were very easy to use and did a good job of soaking up oil. They did not leave my face with a matte finish. More like naturally dewy. If you are just looking for something to take the majority of the shine off these work great! If you are looking for something to give you a totally matte face keep looking. Date published: 2013-06-13 Rated 2 out of 5 by Jennifer from Ehhh The package has 50 sheets and they do not work effectively. When you try to use it, it starts to rip and tear. Sometimes I would have to use two of these because using one doesn't do enough. It's cheap but the quality isn't so great. Date published: 2013-06-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Natty from Love these! I love these things so much! My t-zone gets oily, but these absorb all the oil without messing up my makeup at all. They are also a lot more conveniant to carry around with you than an oil absorbing powder. One of my favorite products from ELF!

OCEAN CITY, Md.- If you mention the words gun control, be ready for a heated debate."There is no reason for an average American to have an automatic weapon," said Tony Donofrio, of Ocean City.
But on the other side of the fence are people like Matthew Greensfeder.
"I think every person should be able to carry a gun," Greensfeder said.
But who is fit to pull a trigger and who is not is the issue some folks say sits in the barrel of the debate on gun control.
"I feel that the world would be a safer if everybody didn't really have guns, except for people who really suppose to have them," said Ashley Throne.Many people say those with mental illnesses are inclusive."An assault rifle ban did not stop what happened in Newtown," said Maryland First District Rep. Andy Harris, MD. "A mental help treatment might have stopped what happened in Newtown."The National Institute of Mental Health studied nearly 18 thousand people with serious mental illnesses and found 16% were prone to violence."People with violence, or violent behavior, or the potential to commit violence, we should get them treatment before they get to that stage," said Andy Harris, of Ocean City.Mental illness or not, some say pull the trigger on gun control."People having assault rifles and semi-automatics, and things like that, I don't think there is any need for that just to protect yourself," said Diana Lange. "You know a simple handgun would do the trick."Maryland lawmakers will address mental health issues related to firearm access in an upcoming vote that could happen as early as Tuesday, February 19.

Grace Unplugged is an Inspirational movie starring Amanda "AJ" Michalka as 18 year old Christian singer/songwriter, Grace Rose Trey. Beautiful, highly talented and restless, Grace is so far undiscovered outside church.
She performs there each Sunday with her gifted father Johnny, the praise music director at Freedom Community Chapel, a small town Alabama church. A former rock star, Johnny Trey charted a Billboard number one single 20 years before.
When the hits stopped coming he crash landed hard, a one hit wonder. Johnny found Christ and a new life for his family, far from the Hollywood Hills. One day without warning, Grace leaves for Los Angeles.
She has landed a record deal with the help of Johnny's ruthless former manager and producer Frank "Mossy" Mostin. Mossy sees in Grace a potential pop superstar - the next Katie Perry.
Cutting off contact with her parents, Grace seems prepared to walk away from her Christian faith and music to achieve her long-suppressed fantasy of Hollywood.

AT Europe: Paris - Chic Murphy Bed Armoires
Who needs a bedroom? The range of chic convertible bed/couch armoire-lit from La Maison du Convertible can make a bedroom seem superfluous...
In a variety of styles and finishes, La Maison du Convertible has single beds that turn into desks by day, double beds that turn into couches or disappear into the wall like Murphy beds.
They are sleek and easy to open and close. With built-in storage options adapted to small space living, they can be custom built to fit the tightest of spaces. Locations in Paris and Lyon.
- Kristin Hohenadel blogging from rue Vieille du Temple, Paris, France. She can be reached at kristinh @ apartmenttherapy . com

I love these AT Europe posts. Of course I love this one especially, because I'm a fan (and an owner) of Murphy beds.
Are these affordable? Are there US suppliers?
I like that last one--you even get a little bonus wall for privacy.
These are great, you could actually use them in the home office area as a spare bed for overnight guests too.
Does anyone know about murphy bed suppliers for the United States?
anyone have a rec. for USA murphy bed suppliers?
These beds are produced by CLEI in Italy. They also have distribution in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. For North America, Manny Machado carries them in Canada or contact CLEI Italy for direct imports to the USA.
These beds were also discussed here on AT. YOu can read them here and here
You can write to firstname.lastname@example.com if interested in US exports. In France, the armoire-lit starts at 1600 euros.
I have mixed feelings about these units. They really limit the way a small apartment space can be used. When I was shopping for a murphy bed, I saw a unit here in NYC....some place near 3rd Av & in the 30's....with a sofa built into it. Initally it seemed like a good idea. However, the quality of the sofa was poor, it was uncomfortable to sit on and came in very limited choices of fabric. I ended up with a sleeper sofa and feel that I made the best possible choice.
To Mason's point, can anyone vouch for comfort of these Murphy beds?
These beds are gorgeous! I looked at one a few years back here in NYC (east 30s - sorry don't recall shop) and they are EXPENSIVE. I think that for a rental apartment it would be too costly but If you are putting money into a coop or condo that you own and space is limited it would be worth the investment.
Lee Valley Tools make the workings for a wall bed. I have one - queen size with lots of storage above. It was a custom design and I love it.
Resource Furniture in NYC sells all of the CLEI murphy bed systems. www.resourcefurniture.com
They have a showroom in the city. 969 Third Ave. 4th floor.
You should call first.
For all of you looking for Clei retailes in the US - Resource Furniture carries their full line. www.resourcefurniture.com
They're in the city.
Let me telling you my experience.
I bought in dec 2006 the ATOLL model, by CLEI (the one on the last picture) => 6.200euros
I am french, living in Paris, in a small appartment and I wanted a murphy bed in order to sleep, with confort, in my living room
After looking for a cheap solution, I found 3 suplliers : two frenchs and one italian (CLEI). Without hesitation, Clei is the best in terms of quality, colors choice, design.... and unfortunately for the price too. You also can give your own fabric to Clei if you want to associate the color with the rest of your furnitures.
First I found some ones at 3000 euros for the cheapest but i didn't feel it. After making my decision for the Clei's one, I tried to negociate the price without success. The french supplier "la maison du convertible" is the only one in france (they have an exclusivity). I wasn't happy to learn that, my purse too.
One year later, I can tell you that combined to my 100% latex pirrelli 2m*1,6m*17mm mattress (approx 6.5ft*5.2ft*6,69 inches), I have completely NO regret. Remind that the mattress thikness is quite important and that only Clei offers you until 18mm (7,08 inches) thickness with a so thin armoire 35cm (13,77 inches) from the wall
Latest thing : The bed is not included in the price so don't hesitate to buy it separately.
Sorry for my english, for better understanding :
Please read : "la maison du convertible" is the only retailer in france (not the only supplier) for Clei

How To Grow Your Own Moss
I love outdoor spaces filled with overgrown blooms, piles of mismatched pots, bits and bobs of weathered sculpture, and richly textured blankets of moss. Though moss could be associated with the words 'dilapidated' or 'swampy', it is actually a very healthy vegetation in that it has no known pests or diseases. It's also extremely forgiving and requires little to no maintenance. It's soft on your feet if used as a ground cover, stays green throughout colder months, and is really easy to propagate.
What You Need
Existing sample moss from a yard or a garden store. It can be dead or alive.
Equal parts buttermilk and water
A blender
A paintbrush (optional)
1. Measure two cups of water and two cups of buttermilk.
2. Pour both into the blender.
3. Top with moss to fill the blender.
4. Blend until you have a milkshake consistency. You want the existing moss to separate.
5. Paint or pour the mixture on rocks, fences, foundation, bricks, ceramic pots, trees or wherever you'd like to see moss grow. You can get creative and draw pictures if you'd like, or write things if you're feeling fancy.
Additional Notes:
Use a mister to keep moss moist for the first couple of weeks, and if possible grow your moss in a shaded area. The moss should start to grow within 3 weeks.

Just don't drink the moss milkshake...
I saw this method on the Mythbusters when they were trying to grow moss on rolling stones.
Any ideas if this would work well in a terrarium?
@ghunt, I don't see why it wouldn't. Just be sure to get a low growing variety of moss or you'll end up with a mini forest like I did.
If anyone has information about whether this would be safe for use with reptiles, please let me know.
I've been wanting to put some moss in my corn snake's terrarium for a while, but am worrying about the buttermilk end of this...
I have frogs, and have read about this method for use in frog terrariums, but haven't tried it yet. It is safe for them though, and I am planning on doing it at some point.
I've tried this. It does work pretty well. Be warned...there is a fairly pungent smell involved at first.
At last a use for the leftover buttermilk. I rarely seem to be able to finish off a quart, even with my best intentions.
I did this! It does work, and yes, it does smell. But I'm a big fan of moss, so it was worth it. HOWEVER, moss does thrive in moist, dark conditions, so if you have too much light, you'll have to water your moss or it will dry out.
Ah! My husband and I were JUST watching Bill Nye the Science guy, and this was one of the experiments.
They said "Don't drink it!" so many times, it made us want to chug a gallon of moss-milk.
How pungent is the odor? I'd be interested in doing this, but as all of my space is indoor (condo) I wouldn't want to overwhelm the place. I see the photos in the tutorial are outdoor shots....
Also curious what types of moss are recommended.
krunkinator, I did this outdoors so I couldn't tell you how it would smell inside. I can only tell you that it will smell. As for type of moss, look between the cracks in the sidewalk in a shady spot, or go to a wooded area. You'll see it growing on the ground in places where there's not much sun. Any moss will do. I'd be interested to find out how this works inside. Sort of an interesting idea.
Yes, I wanted to try this on an old multi-paned window frame I'm using as a frame for some of my post cards. I think it would look great, but a little concerned (now) about the smell and the possible damage to the window frame. Will the moss damage the wood?
So...now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, the problem is really getting rid of moss. It grows everywhere you don't want it: pretty much every surface on the deck, on the stone path and stairs leading up to our apartment- which is a safety hazard when it gets slick and you're walking up and down them. With all that said, I still think moss is pretty :)
would this work if i poured it on my patio paved with bricks that have lots of cracks between the bricks? i do get sun and there is moss growing in the front courtyard but it would make our private patio so much softer.
does this promote mold to grow? Anyone know? Cause that's hard to stop when it starts.
would love to see some after photos
Yes, Joan, you can do it. But as I said, if you get a lot of sun you might have to water it to keep it growing. You can also take some of the moss from the front courtyard and literally transplant it into the cracks in your patio. Then poor the shake around and see if it starts to spread. If there's too much light and not enough moisture it might not. Then again, it might. It's certainly worth a try. Good luck!
If I don't want to look around for moss, is there anywhere I can buy it?
Absolutely, pksublime - just send me $20 and a self addressed stamped envelope to buy those sources. For $5 more, my nephew will stare at moss and enjoy it on your behalf, so you can avoid the whole messy business! :-)
creative license, thanks. I'll give it a shot in the next several weeks, whenever I can slot 2 weeks without guests. Can anything stink for more than two weeks? If I can thin out the mixture, maybe that might help dilute the stank. Or I might try to mix it with vinegar? That might kill the culture, but it might be worth a try.
I get the esthetic, but this sort of thing is hilarious to those of us who live where moss will cover anything that doesn't move. How do you grow moss on a pot? Place it my courtyard.
Cool! I've also seen this done to create patterns or text if you're up for a bit of mossy whimsy; it would be a fun project for kids.
To the person who asked if it will damage wood: yes, the moss will hold moisture, which could cause the wood to decay (I've seen a fair number of cedar-shingled roofs turned rotten by moss 'round these parts). I think it's fine for a living tree but wouldn't paint it onto a house or furniture.
If you have a dark, moist spot in your garden, a combination of moss, rocks, ferns and skunk cabbage would look gorgeous.
I read some where that the moss doesn't last too long before you have to do it again, is this true?
While you can use almost any moss, it is important that you match the site/conditions/general substrate to where you found the starter moss. There are plenty of mosses that grow in somewhat xeric(dry) conditions that will not grow in really damp conditions.
@ atomicranch79 -
I recently tried to cover some small flower pots using the method, and I got tons of mold. In fact, the moss didn't grow, but only the mold... Looks like a lot of people have had success, so maybe I'll give it another go.
I was just planning on looking up this "recipe". Very timely. I'm assuming this will work with any moss? As there's tons growing around the creek on some abandoned lots I was planning on harvesting.
It won't work with Scottish moss since its not really moss! I'm attempting to do this on my flagstone walkway, will it grow on sand (that's what I used to grout my flagstone)
J.J.WISE, sand probably drains too freely for this to work (moss grows best in soggy, dank spots. But since this experiment is pretty hands-off and would cost nothing other than some collected buttermilk dregs, it's worth giving it a try! Report back here and let us know how it goes.
My mom has always said that a can of beer works, too! But who wants to waste it on moss? ; )
As MUDDYMUDKEEPER said, different mosses require different conditions (light, moisture, ph-level, air pollution). A moss from a wet, rotten wooden log deep in the woods most probably will not thrive on a more sunny brick wall, on terracotta pots or on flagstone pavers.
I was wondering if anyone had tried using something other than buttermilk--I'd heard of beer before, as skullandsparrow recommended. Any luck with beer? Or maybe something cultured, like yogurt? Or could I put a tablespoon of vinegar in regular milk to curdle it? I don't tend to have buttermilk around.
Does this work on soil?

Success Stories | References | Organizations | Tools & Templates | Laws & Policies
In recent years, politicians seeking to be tough on undocumented immigrants have passed laws that have made life more difficult for legal immigrants as well as undocumented immigrants. For example, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) and the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), both passed in 1996, were touted as legislation that would control illegal immigration. Actually, both included provisions that have become a legal nightmare for many legal immigrants, their families, and the communities in which they live.
The government's response to terrorism since September 11, 2001, has made matters worse. The consequences are grave—for minor violations of status, immigrants can be deported, and kept out of the U.S. forever.
Unfortunately, there are insufficient affordable legal services to meet the growing need. The increase in complexity of immigration law, and severity of consequences for even minor violations, has made professional legal assistance more important than ever. An immigrant or an asylum seeker facing the legal system without representation is much less likely to be successful. Advocacy, non-profit, and faith-based institutions have tried to fill the gap to the greatest extent possible.

A police officer who accidentally fired a shot in an upstate New York high school hallway has resigned after investigators found he used poor judgment.
The Lloyd Police Department said Friday that Sean McCutcheon was alone in the hall when he managed to fire a round into the floor at Highland High School while taking his Glock pistol out of its holster on March 5.
McCutcheon was there as part of a safety program started in January following the Newtown school massacre. The school district in Hudson Valley town of Highland suspended the program after the mishap.
Nobody was injured.
Lloyd is in Ulster County, 65 miles south of Albany.

Global business consists of business activities that are devised and carried out across national borders. These activities take on various forms, which are often interrelated. Primary types of international business are import-export trade and foreign direct investment. Additional aspects of global business are licensing, franchising, and management contracts. Due to differing laws, cultures and consumer wants, firms must be prepared to incorporate global thinking into their business decisions. International business accounts for about one-fifth of Florida's economy and the economic future of Florida and the Tampa Bay area is increasingly dependent on the global economy. It is understandable then, that businesses are looking for individuals who have global business knowledge and skills.
The Tampa Bay Region is home to a diverse group of industries that include financial services, banking, agriculture, electronics, communication, healthcare and tourism. Most of these businesses incorporate global business strategies and focus on global issues. The Global Business major gives students a unique perspective by requiring them to take courses in all functional areas of business, so that students will be familiar with the global aspects of running a business.

I'm no stranger to pumpkin pie.

I thought I knew most everything there is to know about pumpkin pie. But walking around a night-market in Bangkok, Thailand, I had an experience that turned my concept of pumpkin pie inside-out.

They pretty much have to, thanks to coal-state congressman Nick Rahall (D - West Virginia) who, concerned that the occasional deadly intersection between birds and wow it's great prescription cialis wind turbines constitutes "a violation of the Migratory Bird Act and the Endangered Species Act," and so is pushing legislation that would seriously curtail the generation of wind energy in the United States. (Never mind that Audubon Society president John Flicker has given the wind industry his blessing, saying that while we can measure how many birds are killed in wind turbines every year the viagra from india number killed by coal-fired power plants is almost impossible to tramadol fedex no prescription count.)
In any case, having attended the American Wind Energy Association's annual
conference this year, it seemed clear that the industry was taking the issue
seriously (despite the fact that house cats kill more birds each year than
wind turbines -- a few hundred million more).
The first thing they did was
admit responsibility: when they built a wind farm in Northern California's
Altamont Pass, says congressman and wind advocate Jerry McNerney, "we had no
idea that birds would fly into those windmills. We figured they could see
better than us!" To address the problem, AWEA president Randall Swisher has
pledged to create a "wind wildlife institute" which will study the impact of
wind technology on birds and bats, and work to find technological solutions
to the problem.
But there was evidence on WINDPOWER 2007's exhibit floor that such innovations were already taking place: several companies were marketing new, extra-tall wind turbine towers that not only put rotor blades above the generic cialis mexico flight path of most birds, but take better advantage of high-altitude, higher-velocity windspeeds. Hopefully the industry won't be playing defense on these kinds of issues (or non-issues, as the case may be) for much longer.
written by John, June 07, 2007
While I feel it should be extremely important to try and resolve this issue I do not think it should come to canada pharmacy propecia taking wind turbines off line because birds could die. If there is a situation with endangered species migrating in a specific area during a specific time of the year then perhaps.
If the National Audubon Society supports wind power than congressmen should take note. We need to protect birds but this is like saying we should go around killing house cats because they might hurt some avian species. Supporting cleaner coal power would benefit *everyone* much more than shutting off turbines!
At some point we have to question whether or not our congressmen are completely out of enter site cialis tablets their minds or if they are just trying to be different and unique for the sake of attention.

I think we can solve two problems with you idea... First, banning house cats (in fact any non-native, wild cat) is a good start, but what about the massive amount of cats that we already have?
I propose that we seize all the look there levitra super active cats and put them on tredmills to generate energy. When they get too old or stubborn to run on purchase levitra the tredmills we toss them into the furnace and spin turbines with the extra heat generated.
Of course, tongue in cheek... ;)
