About this project
View the news article published about David Lee Smith & B Wallet on YourNews.com. They published it in many locations! Thanks YourNews.com! - Article link http://yournews.com/copyroom/mynews.asp?zipcode=27607&story_id=290206
Hey Everyone! Thanks for checking out our Kickstarter! We really hope you will consider our project. I'm David Lee Smith the creator and head of Beladonis Fashion. I am happy to be part of an outstanding team here in Nashville, Tennessee and we would certainly like to get to know every one who contributes to our campaign. Please feel free to add us on Facebook and check out our tutorials channel on YouTube. All of our sites are linked for you to check out in the bio section. Please feel free to write us anytime and check out the video above! (Check out our biography section for more info about our team)
The B Wallet Story: I wanted to share a little bit about how the B wallet came to "B". As you know my name is David, former homeschooler, I am 27, and I totally like fashion. I have done all sorts of jobs over the years, but it was not until I found fashion that work no longer felt like work. I discovered what it's like to have passion for something. A passion for something is a thing that many of us seldom get to have, so I embraced it. I have had my ups and downs since starting Beladonis Fashion and my fashion network in 2011, but one thing that I have come to realize is that there's always room for change, and that is why I made the B Wallet. It is the start of something great. People should be able to "B" who they want to be. Why is the B Wallet a great symbol for this? Because I have put my heart into it. The B wallet is a symbol for that passion--to tell people that life is not just about making a buck, but about being! "B" true to yourself. If you believe in that philosophy, check out the B Wallet.
What the project is: Beladonis Fashion presents the B Wallet. This compact wallet comes in over ten different looks for guys and girls. The B Wallet can easily fit inside your pocket or the small areas of your purse and can hold all of your essentials. The B Wallet fits dozens of cards, and even has a pocket on the front where cash can be stored. Made with an elastic backing, your belongings will fit snugly inside the wallet, and the stretch of the elastic also allows you to hold make-up, or your cell phone. We have many different vinyl color & pattern styles for the front base which all look great! The leather pockets on the B Wallet are 100% lambskin leather. We also have a cowhide and a faux leather option available. Whether you choose genuine leather or faux leather, all of the wallets come in several color options.
It's only $12! for a Custom B-Wallet!
We at Beladonis thought Kickstarter would be a fun way to introduce our project to you in hopes that you are as excited about it as we are. We want to have the means to produce and sell as many wallets as we can. While production is already underway, we need your help to sustain and expand our project. The funds collected will help us produce the highest quality wallets possible. We also have hopes of eventually expanding our business to other areas of fashion; we already have other ideas in development, such as clothing designs and two different wallet designs.
Here is our little workshop! This is where we made our first prototype B-Wallets! We are really excited about actually creating our first manufactured product!
Our Goal: $3,000 WAY lower than our original budget!
Note: This is our second attempt to launch this product. We tried to set our goal low —$10,000 the first time we launched with very little support.
Sadly, we canceled the project after realizing we would not make our goal. This time, I personally will not take a salary and I have secured a smaller more affordable factory to produce the wallets.
WE believe $3,000 will be enough to fund the first run of wallets. I also have a secondary source of backing if problems arise. We certainly want to make sure we reach our goal and will work hard in the campaign to do so.
I really want this project to succeed!
We have set some additional goals we would like to achieve if we reach our initial goal. With your help, I know we can do it.
Goal reached. Wallets will certainly ship, and we know you will love them.
$10,000 - Beladonis will create 2 additional wallet lines! We have already designed an edgy wallet similar to the B Wallet and a Club wallet designed perfectly for the club, cocktail, and banquet scenes!
$50,000 - We will manufacture a small clothing line we have already sketched and patterned out (I'll post some pictures if we get close to this goal).
If we reach the $ 50,000 mark everyone gets a free surprise to go along with there wallet! Gift TBA!
Our manufacturing goals: Pre-manufacturing steps have already been completed when it comes to the development process. We have already sketched and patterned our designs for manufacturing. This was done by our head designer Coren and myself.
Prototype models that were already constructed are the display pictures for the rewards above. Additionally, sample product has already been sent to the manufacturer in the Philippines, so production can be commenced as soon as our goal of $3,000 is reached. If our goal is vastly exceeded, we are prepared to take additional measures to secure more supplies and workers on the products. Once our goal is reached, we will start production immediately. I have a close contact in the Philippines who will oversee that the production goes smoothly, along with shipping from the Philippines back to the USA. Once I personally receive the product, I will inspect it for quality and immediately start shipping to our rewards funders. Shipping will commence as follows: Purchasers of our early bird reward will get shipped first as we expect to receive their standard style wallet earlier than the customs. Following this shipment, we will mail all other product immediately after it has arrived. We will ensure we have all packages ready to go the following day upon receiving product. We will have plenty of time to prepare for this while the product is in transit from the Philippines.
Feel free to contact us with additional questions! Again! Thank you for supporting our Kickstarter! =)
Risks and challenges
We don't foresee many challenges coming our way. We have already set up a product manufacturer in the Philippines for developing the wallets. All we really need is you to make our product come together so that all challenges are lessened.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Up to 20 no problem! It will even hold an I-phone!
I have used our first prototype B Wallet (a denim style) as my own personal wallet since it was made about 3 months ago. It shows almost no signs of wear or stretching of the seams.
I even accidentally put it through the wash once (though this is not advised because of the leather but it still looks great) We took much care in making sure that the B Wallet is durable while still fashionable!

Hermes is India's No. 1 Retail Assisted E-Commerce network with more than 90000 locations across India and more than 9000 locations on the Philippines. Hermes retail points provide services such as money transfer, bill payments for e-commerce and utilities, travel and insurance payments, and many more.
GI Technology is a licensed Pre-paid Payment Instruments Issuers ("PPI") further to a license granted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and issues a prepaid payment instrument branded "ICASHCARD" on the Indian market. Furthermore GIT is providing payment software technology solution to banks and financial institutions.
About us
GI Retail Private Limited was established in 2007 to realize the Great Indian Dream of improving the standard of life of every aspiring Indian.
We aim to provide the hundreds of millions of underbanked Indians, who do not have the ability to make payments online, with a solution so they could also benefit from the advent of low-cost travel, retail and financial services offerings on the Internet.
We firmly believe that Financial Inclusion is neither charity nor just an obligation but a serious sustainable and profitable business proposition.
GI Retail Group's core strengths are technology and innovation in business processes and service delivery. This has enabled effective and cost efficient operations that are profitable, scalable and sustainable.
Today, roughly 600 million people in India and the Philippines don't have bank accounts. Our vision drove us to develop products and services, which over the last decade have enabled millions of individuals in India and on the Philippines to conduct their day to day financial transactions through our retail-assisted and our self-service (web and mobile) service model.
Our subsidiary Hermes provides more than 250000 people daily with access to affordable financial services to remit money and to pay for travel tickets, utilities or online purchases through its nation-wide retail networks in India and on the Philippines.
Hermes is the exclusive distribution and recharge network for ICASHCARD, India's leading semi-closed-loop prepaid wallet operated by our subsidiary company GI Technology and operates as a Banking Correspondent for Yes Bank in India.
GI Technology is a licensed Pre-paid Payment Instruments Issuers ("PPI") further to a license granted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and is also providing payment software technology solution to other banks and financial institutions.
Jointly our group's companies offer tens of thousands of retailers the opportunity to earn extra money by driving financial inclusion in India and the Philippines while closing the gap between the payment method of choice of emerging markets - cash - and the promises and opportunities of the new world of the Internet..
With each one of our retail agents handling payments for remittance, travel, utilities and e-commerce exceeding thousands of US Dollars per month in value, income derived from our payment services significantly contributes to the livelyhood of our retail partners.
Recent years have seen a remarkable transformation in the way India shops and trades. E-commerce has taken India's world of retail by storm and captivated the imagination of an entire generation of new entrepreneurs. Yet with Visa and MasterCard payment cards penetration still being low, cash remains the payment method of choice for more than 75% of all purchases on the Internet.
Operating a highly secure payments infrastructure certified under ISO 27001 (BS 7799) and PCI/DSS security standards GI Retail Group's subsidiaries are developing innovative technology solutions and services catering to the specific needs of the world's emerging financial services and e-commerce markets.
We at GI Retail Group have realized that the issues faced by large parts of the population in India are not local but truly global ones and hence we have expanded this vision of taking our products and services to underserved people to other growing economies such as the Philippines, Indonesia and many countries in Africa.
Today the Great Indian Dream is transforming into that of a Global Innovation to make GI's products and services available across further countries behind India on economic and technological development.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 322 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by pamjam Love W Austin I've stayed here many times. The fact that it is next to ACL is only partially why I choose this hotel. Great walking around, the friendliest staff--and when you're old in a young city--the staff makes you feel like they don't notice. I always have a wonderful time here. June 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by FiDiBrian Great place to stay on business in Austin Found this to be fairly standard W fare, but the restaurant (Trace) and Spa (Away) were definitely standouts. As a platinum SPG member, I was upgraded to a Cool Corner Suite which was nicely appointed with a view of the pool. I would defintiely stay here again. June 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by dloguercio Noise Complaints When we stayed at this hotel accommodations were great but we got charged a noise fee. During our 3 night stay we were told twice to turn down music that we were playing on my iPhone (not powered speaker). Once during the middle of the day and the other in the evening. There was a couple next to us that had an infant that was crying all hours of the day/night and brought the crying baby into the hallway so that their spouse could sleep but made the noise louder in our room. We didn't bother to call security on them in order to reduce conflict suspecting they had made the two complaints on us. We were friendly to the couple when we saw them in the hall with the infant. A few days later I got a charge for $337.50 on my credit card for a "noise charge". I called the manager to explain what had happened but they were not willing to make any accommodations. Our only recourse would have been to file complaints on the other couple during our stay that would have probably just escalated the issue. I travel 3 weeks out of the month for work and will never stay at a SPG hotel because of this. June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Agent88 Great Front Desk Staff I was able to get an early check-in and late check-out. Very much appreciated. One front desk staffer was especially helpful. Didn't get her name (She was young, had long blond hair, and soft-spoken). She was the only one on your staff who could lookup my SPG account number - other staffers tried and failed. She also had a great recommendation for a lunch restaurant - a taco place down the street. May 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dan86 Overall excellent experience This hotel was in pristine condition between the rooms, lobby and common areas. From valet to concierge, the staff at this hotel far exceeded expectations and were always there to make my party's stay even better. The food and beverage staff in particular (Wet Deck and Lounge) did a great job and were friendly and professional throughout our trip. A+ experience. April 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunshine89 Fantastic This W location exceeded my expectations. The suite I was upgraded to was huge and a pleasure to stay in. April 1, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappyguest11 Very disappointing experience Several issues throughout our stay: 1. Unable to check us in until after 7pm when we arrive right before official check in time. They were annoyed that we kept following-up and were very unapologetic. In the end, we called them to find it was ready. We had important dinner/night plans and this ruined it. They obviously did not care 2. Asked for towels and got rugs. I'm not sure how this happens but again no acknowledgement of error or any care of customer 3. Gave bags to front desk to hold and personal items are missing from bag. We spoke to manager and they seem to not really care or have any type of resolution. The experience was disappointing and we actually booked 4 rooms for the whole weekend and several people complained about their experience. I just listed the top 3. On a positive note, there living room area is nice downstairs and in a great location. February 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Allynyc Austin W Review My stay was outstanding. Not only were the rooms a ten, but the lobby and lounges were beautiful. Two fireplaces with comfy furniture, pleasant staff and a cool bar and restaurant. The gym and spa were really nice and food was very good. January 20, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by gppareja Poor service, good facility and location The service is lacking ... severely. They continued to make mistakes and do not adjust or make amends. They upgraded me (which isn't unusual for being Platinum) but they didn't note this in the system. thus, my keys didn't work and then repeatedly another guest was ordering food service over the 24 hour period and coming to my room. It would be okay if they corrected this after 1 warning, but I had to tell them repeatedly that they messed up our reservation. It was very disappointed. I was disturbed many times when all I wanted to do was relax with my wife in my room. January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dale24 Beautiful decor and service We visited Austin for the first time for business as well as for a birthday celebration. The Austin W upgraded us without asking and honored my husband's birthday with room service Champagne and dessert. Extremely pleased with the level of service, friendliness of staff, decor and comfort of public spaces. Shout outs to concierges Dave, Lainie, and Marissa, Cassandra at the Front Desk and wait staff at Taste Restaurant..all terrific. December 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rob2235 So-so room - exceptional service Upon arrival one is immediately greeted by helpful and friendly staff members. Valet and check-in were quick and hassle free. The room was nicely appointed, even if it was the smallest of the available rooms. I decided to shower and freshen up prior to dinner, and the shower was unpleasant. The "Japanese-style" tub has an extremely high sill which makes ingress and egress very difficult. The water was not as hot as I would have liked, and the knob was loose. I immediately reported this to guest services, and the situation was resolved immediately, and I was offered a free upgrade, which I chose to forgo. Put simply, I really love this hotel, but the small-room showers are not to my liking. December 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rue4256 Great gathering place I Planned a 40th Birthday party and we had about 40 guests. We had the "Patio" or "small Living room" It was PERFECT for that size of a crowd. The Staff was curtious and wonderful. THey passed Hors d'Oeuvors and cocktails around the room and we all really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good and the Birthday cake was AMAZING. Thank you! December 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Acker Room, Location, Vibe, Staff all Great What a location! We couldn't have made a better choice. We appreciated the local knowledge the staff provided re: BBQ, dinner ideas, best way to get around. Bartender Cat @ Trace bar gave us best tips about food trucks. Loved the room. All around great place. Even bfast has a good vibe, We'll be back. November 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SteveD23 Only stay at the W in Austin TX We had the best time left another hotel after one night and were super luck to get a room at the W .From the moment we got there till the end first class service and everyone was friendly. Becca at the Trace bar and Cassandra at the front desk were the best they are both excellent employees Steve November 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by shah79 Not up to expectations Room was smaller than usual for the rate paid. Basic amenities not in room such as coffee maker, which had to be requested. The first machine did not work, so they had to send another one. No option for tea. No shower cap, bath slippers, chest of drawers. King Room space very congested. Shower was hard to get into. I wish I had a step stool just to get in and out. Tub height too high. Shower stall would be preferred. Safe was not working. The batteries were dead and had to be replaced. The sink was not cleaned properly, and had water stains on the hardware. Only one chocolate provided only on one night, even though two guests in the room. stayed for 2 nights The phone charger plugs were not working. I have to give this hotel a rating of 2 stars. November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pand Feedback Staff at Trace were excellent...especially the Restaurant manager and Promothesues. Great recognition provided to Platinum members. Good location in the heart of Austin. November 17, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by John100000 Great staff and incredible facilities. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and made the stay more than amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. October 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NaplesRonda hotel does not meet expectations *Was given handicapped room w/o being told. Paid $430 a night for this room. But staff was excited to tell me they had given me an upgraded room with a balcony. *Room had no towel bars and hotel's way of hanging towels was to hang them on the handicap bar by the toilet which happens to be 10 ft from the LEAKY shower. *Sink has no workable counter space for personal item. *Received no towels on day two and three. Had to find hospitality to get towels *Hospitallity "drop delivered" a refrigerator to our room on 3rd day. WE DIDN'T ASK FOR ONE AND DIDN'T NEED IT IN MIDDLE OF ROOM. WHY???? *We tried to use the lobby computer to print airline boarding passes. System didn't work and staff couldn't get it to work *We tried to use the concierge service. Young lady was very unfamiliar with venues and was not knowledgeable did not know what type of music/concert was performing at theater attached to hotel. Did not know what Celtic was. Did not know what restaurants/clubs would have live music on Saturday evenings. I was so excited to be staying at a W hotel. This left my guest and myself baffled to say the least. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelingMan In town on business, glad I burned some points to stay here... Was in town for a few days on business. They were able to get me a room, VERY early the Sunday I arrived. That was greatly appreciated as I was more than a little exhausted from my trip. Perfect location in the middle of it all. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great views of the Lake and a very well appointed room. Would have loved to try one of the suites, but was in town at the tail end of ACL Live and it was pretty booked. When in town again, this is where I'll stay. The bar(s) are very impressive as you meander from one to the next at this hotel. October 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lynn83 Element of service could use a serious improvement Hotel location is great and staff is very friendly. However, twice in two weeks I have had a room service tray not removed from my room (all day) or not removed from outside my door (all night). For what is supposed to be a top hotel the service lags. October 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hendrixfanx quiet, premium room, but... The room was very quiet and sleep quality was excellent. Only complaints were that the safe was in need of service and the TV would not change channels. Minor issues in an otherwise beautiful room with an excellent view. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roncarriej A very cool hotel... period From the moment you enter the W Hotel Austin, you realize that you have entered another level of coolness. The layout and the decor are pure Austin yet with a high design twist. The awesome Red Bar and the Fire Place room are 2 of our favorites. Our room was simple yet modern, completely cool. Every aspect of this W Hotel Austin exceeded any other W Hotel that we have stayed in. We will definitely be back. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Teeps Great hotel! All the staff were excellent - especially Becca at the wet deck. Our room was a little awkward spacewise as we had a family of 4 in one room but overall we loved the weekend/hotel September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rsmd Great place for a meeting The W had excellent meeting spaces with a nice pool and a vibrant nightlife. September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maurice10 W Austin Very rarely do all the boxes get ticked, but the W Austin certainly hit the spot. From the chic bars on the lobby level to the deceptively laid back staff who were all knowledgable, keen to help and above all friendly and accessible. You know, we felt special when we stayed there. August 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Klpcolo Customer service From the day we checked in, the service was exceptional. The staff is so accomodating, Gabe wanted to make sure we had a wonderful time at Lake Austin and Lake Travis telling us the great places to eat and sites to see. The concierges were amazing from making sure my delivery of roses for my birthday to sites around town. John Martinez at the wet bar stands out as exceptional.......asking where we were from and accomodating us at the pool to remembering our names and room number the next day. He even arranged for my birthday treat, along with Annha, chocolate strawberries to be delivered to my room. It was a memorable and lovely getaway and towers over any other W we have stayed at. August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael31 Great Pool and Watering Holes as well! The pool is amazing. Far above the cool factor. The bars are fun with different themes. RAD It was so good to see Caleb again. He is always so willing to help and asks what we need. August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buck70 Terrific Experience Only by a suggestion of a close friend did I decide to stay a leisurely weekend in Austin at this hotel. I had desired a four star or more hotel near the downtown area. Boy, did I make the right choice! The hotel was everything and much more than I had anticipated. From the design and layout to the quality and cleanliness of not just the room but the hotel itself. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bars were superb. And the location was perfect. Not to mention a lot of beautiful people filling up the three club bars on weekend nights with lots of well behaved revelers. I can't wait for my next trip there. This is my new GO TO hotel when in Austin! August 20, 2014

Dutch Don't Need to Panic at Lower Revenues, IMF's Debrun Says
April 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Netherlands doesn't need to take drastic action to trim its budget in the face of lower revenues as a result of slower-than-expected economic growth, said Xavier Debrun, an International Monetary Fund official.
"They are not under market pressures; the numbers are not catastrophic," said Debrun, a deputy division chief at the Washington-based IMF. To the extent that the Netherlands misses its budget targets because of a slowing economy, "our view is that they should not respond."
Skittish financial market conditions mean countries should stick to their announced plans whenever possible, Debrun said today in a speech at Bruegel, a Brussels research institution. At the same time, if "disappointing" growth leads to lower revenues, "don't go into panic mode to compensate. That wouldn't be a good idea" for a country like the Netherlands that has borrowing room, he said.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte pulled the plug on his minority government this week after budget talks collapsed over proposed pension reforms. Rutte tendered his resignation to Queen Beatrix yesterday. She indicated that she'd consider his offer and asked that the Cabinet handle current affairs in the meantime. Rutte is seeking to build support for austerity measures in a bid to meet European Union budget targets.
For countries that have trouble accessing financial markets, the euro area's rescue funds should be accessible if needed, Debrun said when asked if Spain would need a bailout.
"Firewalls are there to be used if they need to be used," he said. "It's not just a deterrent."
For the EU as a whole, the IMF view is that "the current speed of adjustment is broadly appropriate" as countries strive to cut deficits and rein in debt levels, Debrun said. Countries need to keep an eye out for "downside risks to growth" as they plot their fiscal strategies.
"It is absolutely essential to get the speed right," Debrun said. "It would be a pity to go for fiscal overkill that would ultimately destroy growth in the short term."

Sipping Chai in Chennai: Blending Spirituality and High-Tech in India. ~ Elizabeth Huesing
What do you do when you are a divorced 49-year-old mother of two, whose empty nest has suddenly materialized?
Well, after visiting an ashram in South India in early 2011, I accepted a job in the city of Chennai (formerly Madras) as a software trainer. I packed my bags and moved to Southeast Asia to start my life anew. I was determined to strengthen my spiritual path but also needed to be employed to live in India full-time, and I did this by obtaining a hard-to-get Indian work visa.
I am a former suburban soccer mom and technical writer from Boulder, Colorado who has plunged headfirst into a dizzying new life and high-tech career in the chaotic city of Chennai, but I am managing to keep one foot in the ashram that brought me here in the first place. I have also met my soon-to-be husband who is British, writes books on Indian saints and has lived near the ashram I initially visited for the past 36 years.
It has been an interesting year—I moved here last July—full of challenges on many levels.
For instance, I am an American working for an American company based in India, but I was hired as an Indian resident so I work on outsourced documents from the USA. Go figure. I spend my weekends with my fiance in Tiruvannamalai, a temple town four hours south of Chennai and recharge my spirit at Ramanashram before heading back to my corporate job in Chennai on Monday mornings.
Working in India vs being a tourist in India takes some adjustment.
I have been coming to India over the past 20-odd years as both a tourist and the wife of an Indian spouse. Although my marriage ended nearly 16 years ago, I have always had a feeling that India was somehow part of my genetic make up.
One of the things that I love about living and working in India is that the spiritual is woven into everyday life, even corporate India. Last month we had an office puja (prayer offering) to ensure that our company continues to prosper. One of the office cubicles was converted into an alter; the IT guy is also a Hindu priest so we had the puja during work hours. The smell of incense wafting through the office lingered long after the puja finished.
On my rickshaw ride to work each morning, I pass small, colorful, street-side Hindu temples adjacent to stalls selling fruits and veggies, medical supplies and umbrellas. Nearby, a stray dog or cow may be rifling though a pile of last night's yet-to-be picked up garbage. A puja may be going on with the ringing of bells and the lighting of incense. It takes me out of my morning wind-up to a fast-paced day in corporate India for a few moments, and I do a mental reboot on my reasons for being here.
Getting to work each morning via auto rickshaw is my window into Chennai.
There is the morning walk to the auto rickshaw stand past women scrubbing their front sidewalks with water, sweeping away the dirt before drawing a kolam, a geometric design, with white rice flour onto the sidewalk. Hindus believe that kolams can bring prosperity and good fortune to the family and are drawn anew each morning on doorsteps to the house.
Then there's the morning haggle with a rickshaw driver over ten rupees too much or too little in fare. I usually cave in and pay the extra fare as it's not much for me but a few more rupees for the driver's family.
I have learned that auto rickshaw horns vary in sound and intensity. My favorite driver is an older man with one of the fastest auto rickshaws I have been in. When he gets some open road (which is very seldom on the streets of Chennai) he goes careening through traffic at breakneck speeds reaching 25 mph. But, what I love most about him is the horn on his rickshaw.
It's an old fashioned horn, like the ones kids have on their tricycles, with a large bulb that one squeezes to make the noise. The bulb on his horn is green and makes a honking sound that had me biting the sides of my cheeks one recent morning to keep from all out laughter. It seemed funny to me to be speeding through the city in a bright yellow three-wheeled vehicle honking a horn made for a tricycle. It was one of those moments in India where I found myself happy to be here having such rich experiences that would be difficult to duplicate anywhere else in the world.

She is a graduate of Purdue University with a BA in education and has an MS in telecommunications from the University of Colorado, Boulder. From 1985-87, Elizabeth served as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer teacher in Kenya. She has also been an exchange student in Japan, a singing telegram girl, a technical writer in Antarctica, a DJ in a small radio station in Iowa, a yoga instructor, a police dispatcher and a goat sitter for a cheese dairy. Elizabeth met her husband-to-be, a British writer based in India, in Tiruvannamalai, a temple town made famous by the Indian sage Ramana Maharishi. She has two daughters who attend college in California.

I found your post through the BMW listserv and I am gladdened by your sharing. Throw open the gates and god knows who or what will pass through them. You have the nerve and to my ears you are profiting from the risk. Good on 'ya!

I want to wish you good luck beth, and I'm happy that you are happy at "middle age!"

Peace and Long Life
The Daily Show and Bringing Joy into Judaism
The recent news that Jon Stewart is leaving the Daily Show struck a cord with many; some are sad and some are relieved. His tenure on a fake news show, that for many was the primary source of "real news," inspired an excellent summary of lessons on the NPR It's All Politics blog entitled "5 Things Jon Stewart Reminded Us About Politics" by Amita Kelly.
One thing listed in the article: "Politics can be interesting — and fun," speaks directly to the current Jewish community. It is no surprise that Stewart, (or should we call him by the name on his Bar Mitzvah invitation, Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz) would have a strong comedic element. Jews and comedy go all the way back to the Talmud, and modern comics like Lenny Bruce helped turn the Jewish practice of brutally honest self examination into a mainstream value.
And the Daily show did just that, appealing to the politically disenfranchised in a way that was educational without taking itself too seriously. As Kelly puts it
"One of the show's appeals to a younger audience was its knack for breaking down the latest Washington scandal by stripping it of Beltway-speak. Here's how Samantha Bee, the show's "White House Correspondent," explained the Valerie Plame spy scandal in 2005:
"Jon, in Washington, information is power, and is disseminated through a sophisticated network of operatives and contacts, in a system modeled after a sorority house," she said.
She then broke down the scandal and all the players as if it were happening in a sorority house, valley girl accent and all: "So then Cooper called Rove and he's all like 'Wilson's wife's all CIA!' and Karl was like 'I know, right! But you totally can't tell anyone I told you!' and Matt was all 'I totally won't!' and Karl was all 'You double-secret won't tell?' and Matt was all 'I totally super-secret, double-super-secret won't tell.' "
That style turned off a lot of serious political viewers, but it got the job done: A 2008 Pew study found that viewers of The Daily Show were most likely to score in the highest percentile on knowledge of current affairs.
The same ingredient is essential for today's Jewish community, we must reclaim the joy in Judaism.
This is not a new idea, but one which needs more focus. We are no longer motivated by those who hate us, by fearing for the end of Israel, or by guilt. Today, participation in each part of the Jewish community must be less about meetings, and more about connecting; less about guilt and more about guidance, and we must focus on how our personal stories connect with tradition. And a primary avenue to this kind of honest, organic community is humor and joy.
Stewart did it for politics, Judaism should be easy by comparison.
Are We Not Brothers and Sisters?
This may be a stretch, but go with me for a moment.
There seems to be important connections between today's Talmud portion and the Twin Cities Pride celebration.
At the most basic level, the message of GLBTQ pride is one of radical equality. It is based on the the idea that we are all human and all entitled to the same human rights: to love, to be loved, to be safe, and to be respected.
In the Talmud section [see below] for today (Taanit 18) we have a powerful prayer that was said by Yehuda ben Shammua and his colleagues, protesting restrictive laws placed on the Jewish community by Roman authorities.
They cried out:
Are we not brothers? Are we not children of one father? Are we not children of one mother? How are we different from any other peoples and languages that we are singled out for oppressive laws?
What a powerful argument to universal principals of equality.
Is this why Jewish communities have been such strong advocates for human rights? Did the rabbis of the Talmud provide a clear argument for marriage equality? Is it just a coincidence that the Twin Cities held their parade on the same day as that section of the Talmud is studied? (Ok, that last one is a bit of a stretch.)
What do you think, connection or coincidence?
(Also, I will share more thoughts from the Daf Yomi via twitter where you can follow me @RabbiAlanSL.
The Daily Talmud portion I'm referring to is part of the Daf Yomi daily study program of the entire Talmud. This one page at time learning is coordinated world-wide, and takes seven an a half years to complete. We are currently examining fast days and the way they intersect with different holidays, and different parts of the ancient Jewish community. If you are interested in jumping in, I recommend the podcast Daily Daf Differently. For a great English/Hebrew text, see the Noé Edition of the Koren Talmud.
Welcome to Alef
All learning begins with Alef, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Rabbi Lawrence Kushner in The Book of Letters writes about the letter Alef:
"It has no sound. Only the sound you make when you begin to make every sound. Open your mouth and begin to make a sound. STOP! That is Alef."
Rabbi Kushner also tells the story of the revelation at Mt. Sinai and the special role of the Alef: "Rabbi Elazar bar Abina said in Rabbi Aha's name: For 26 generations the Alef complained before G-d: I am the first of the letters yet You didn't create Your world with me! Don't worry, said G-d, the world and all its fullness was created for the Torah alone. Tomorrow when I come to give My Torah at Sinai the first word I say will begin with you."
Rabbi Kushner continues:
"The name of the first Jew also began with Alef, Avraham Ahveenu, Abraham our Father. Alef is the letter of fire, Aysh. A fire which flames but does not destroy. That is how the Holy One gets your attention. He [sic] shows you primordial fire.
And the very first letter of the first word of the first commandment begins with the first letter which has no sound: Alef, Anochi, I. "I am the Lord your G-d who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of slavery.
It is no accident that all these words begin with Alef. The most basic words there are begin with the most primal sound there is. The almost sound you make before you can make any sound."
To this day, all learning begins with Alef, the sound which precedes every other, the sound of the moment before speech; caused by the intake of breath. It is a moment free of the past with infinite possibility for the future.
But there is more.
When we take the time to learn together, miracles, like that moment at Sinai, are still possible. If the participants are willing, if the text is open, and if the Divine Presence attends, we find the spark of true wisdom. In that space, as we take a breath to speak, we may realize that our long and arduous journey has returned us to the beginning. To a place where we can only start to understand the first breath of connection at Sinai. Yet we are satisfied. And still, we yearn for more.
New Class: Dilemmas of Faith
Join us as we ask the big questions.
I will be teaching a new class this summer, and everyone is invited.

Living a Marathon Life
The Boston marathon ended this year, with an inspiring win and thousands of participants, as it has since 1897. But this year was different. This was the first year after the bombing that took three lives, caused 264 injuries, impacted hundreds of runners near the finish and reverberated with thousands of us who run marathons, and shocked the entire nation.
Each year Boston has it's challenges. There is a demanding qualifying time, and a course with a long downhill at mile 20 & 1/2 known as Heartbreak Hill. It takes a certain strength to run any marathon. All the more so with Boston this year.
That strength is characterized by the ability to endure over time and distance. It is a persistent strength, perhaps one that defies common sense, and one that travels despite the difficultly of the path or the number of miles left.
The same is true for a religiously committed life, one that seeks a deeper connection with the world around us, and holds us to a higher standard in our relationships with others. A religiously engaged life demands a strength that is firmly planted enough to survive diversity and flexible enough to adapt to changes in the terrain. In Jewish terms, it takes koach.
Jews use the word koach most frequently when congratulating someone on a job well done. We say Yasher Koach, as a way of affirming the good actions they just performed (often after taking an alyia to the Torah) and wishing them strength in all their endeavors. The literal translation is "May your strength be firm." It is an image of strength that is deeply rooted, and which grows straight in a single direction. It is like the laser focus on a goal that admits no diversions or hesitation.
The key to this kind of strength is that it is only found in shared spaces at common times when engaged in activities or rituals that require real effort. You don't say Yasher Koach to yourself, and no one says it to you for tying your shoes or reading a paragraph. But if those shoes are for a marathon, or the paragraph is from Torah; and when the actions are done in community, then the effort we expend is deserving of a Yasher Koach.
May we all find the ability to run that extra mile together.

I just put the postcards though my laser printer. I found that if I printed them in the correct orientation they came out with patches of light and dark areas so I turned the print in word upside down in a text box and put the postcards into the laser paper tray 'back to front'. All was well although I wasted a few on my trials.

The previously posted reviews really say it all, so I will try not to re-hash much here, but Bluebay Lodge is simply excellent.
If you are looking for an all-inclusive "Sandals" type resort where you sit on the beach, drink chi-chis and meet only the "locals" who work at the hotel: this is not the place for you! But since you are considering a trip to Grenada in the first place, you're probably looking for an experience with a little more adventure and authenticity than packaged sunshine can offer. If that sounds like your bowl of nutmeg porridge, then Bluebay might be juussssttttt right for you Goldilocks.
It is still possible and quite easy to get involved in the lives of the local people and have a delicious and authentic slice of Grenadian life; however you may need to make some contacts, find your comfort zone and hit your stride first. This is where Bluebay and Lisette et al come in. All the other nice things that past reviewers have said about the lodge, the staff, the food, etc. are true and accurate but the standout feature of Bluebay is that you WILL meet locals, you WILL have unexpected and brilliant experiences and you WILL feel like part of the family - if You WILL it to be so.
You may not know it yet, but you have the opportunity to experience the many facets of life on the island outside of the touristy areas of Grand-Anse and La Sagesse and Jimmy, Lisette and the rest of the staff at Bluebay will make it their personal quest to see that you get the most out of your time in Grenada. They will suggest fun things to do, cool places to go, show you how to get around the island, (tip: take the buses whenever possible, they're way more fun and cheaper than renting a car) give you names and numbers of people to meet and often they will accompany you on excursions. They are fantastic people and the top reason to start your trip at Bluebay.
We stayed at another guest house on Grenada and one on Carriacou and they were simply not in the same league. Having said that, our experiences at the next two places were still awesome and greatly enhanced because we'd got the hang of things by staying at Bluebay first. If we'd done things in a different order, I believe our trip to Grenada would have been much more forgettable.
Read the reviews, check the facts, choose Grenada, then book your stay at Bluebay. Or don't and leave more for me ;) !!!

I ended up with too many things listed under snacks so I made some more meal categories which helps identify which meals were not enough and ended up in snacking. For example I could see that mid afternoon is a big culprit so i am going to try and have a more sustaining lunch
Eating three balanced small meals a day with 2 snacks helps to control hunger.
Eating breakfast every day helps keep my blood sugars balanced. Helps with snacking.
Preparing meals for your family the night before help save time and makes the next day a little easier.

From 1st July 2007, all retailers of electrical goods must comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation.
This is a scheme to prevent all such waste being disposed of in general landfill sites and to promote recycling of components and materials. The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.
How do I know what product is "WEEE"? The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster. However, some product, such as a child's soft toy with an electric circuit, is not classed as WEEE as its primary function is a toy. For further details on product definitions, please click here.

Safety of a New Type of Treatment Called Gene Transfer for the Treatment of Severe Hemophilia B
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
In this study a modified virus called adeno-associated virus (AAV) will be used to transfer a normal gene for human clotting factor IX into patients with severe hemophilia B (AAV human Factor IX vector). Gene therapy is a very new medical technique being used in a number of clinical studies for diseases such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. At this time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved no gene transfer products for commercial use. To date, 8 subjects have received AAV vector in the muscle for a hemophilia B trial by intramuscular injection, and, to date, 6 subjects have been treated with AAV vector in the current hemophilia B liver trial. Eleven cystic fibrosis subjects have received AAV vector into their nasal sinuses or lungs to date. In this study, AAV human Factor IX vector will be injected into the liver using a catheter inserted into a large blood vessel (called the proper hepatic artery or the right hepatic artery).

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Males with severe hemophilia B with Factor IX activity level < 1% of normal.
- Life expectancy of > 1 year.
- Age > 18 years old.
- Ability to give informed consent.
- Greater than twenty exposure days of treatment with Factor IX protein.
- No history or presence of an inhibitor to Factor IX protein.
- Subjects must be able to receive Factor IX protein on a home infusion protocol.
- Subjects must have a normal protime (PT).
- Hepatitis C infected subjects will be evaluated for liver fibrosis based on liver biopsy data graded on a scale of 0–4 (Poynard et. al., 1997). Subjects who are Hepatitis C antibody and RNA positive and have not had a liver biopsy within the last 36 months will be required to have one.
- Subjects must have low AAV titer.

[artist id="2000082″]Rick Ross[/artist] and [artist id="500937″]Trick Daddy[/artist] clearly aren't on the great terms they once were. Weeks ago, Trick told MTV News that he was disgusted that Ross would mention his name disparagingly in the song "Valley of Death" from Deeper Than Rap.
"Very first line he called Trick Daddy stupid/ Said he had AIDS, telling people it's lupus," Ross raps about a letter he received from a friend in prison.
"I think it's pretty much clear," Ross said recently in Miami about the line. "It is what it is. Like I say, I received a letter, and, you know, I feel like when it comes to a situation like this, I don't know, [Trick's health] situation. I didn't feed into it. It was a letter. It is what it is."
Trick told MTV News that Ross has known about his lupus for more than 12 years. On Wednesday morning, Trick reiterated his harsh feelings toward Ross when he called into Angela Yee's Shade 45 radio program.
"I'd like to apologize for my kid's misbehaving in class. … I let Ross start eating table food too fast," Trick joked to Yee. "When you don't raise your kids, they will throw their hands up at you."
Ross admitted that him and Trick haven't been on the same page.
"Right now, I feel like over the last year, I got to see a lot of the people that was halfway down," the Bawse said when asked about the status of his and Trick's onetime friendship. "I'm finnin' to play it like we do in the streets. Everybody who I feel was halfway down, praying on the Bawse's downfall, I feel they gonna have to answer for that. I'mma most definitely address it. I'mma keep addressing it. That's why it's always best to be 100 from the jump. Be real from the jump. People I show respect to ain't got nothing to do with money and power and fame. I just keep it 100. It is what it is, and we gonna wait and see."
It seems like the root of the problems with Ross and Trick is the picture of a teenage Ross at a correctional officers graduation ceremony that popped up online last summer. It was rumored that Trick Daddy leaked the picture . Trick denied that rumor last year and blamed some members of the press.
"You know how the media go," Trick said last July. "I'm just surprised it comes from so many so-called professional people that they would even involve my name in that. I had nothing to do with that from day one. They don't need to make up lies like I leaked pictures or I'm beefing with Plies and Rick Ross. Definitely not Rick Ross — that's my homeboy."
"When the Trick Daddy speculation came up, I was on tour. I gave him a call," Ross said during an April BET special named after his album. "Gangster to gangster. I wanna check your temperature. I know Trick Daddy, if he did do it, he wouldn't tell me. … He knows what would come of that. So, most definitely, he denied it. I respected it, cool."
Well, maybe the two can find a mediator ([artist id="1800901″]DJ Khaled[/artist]?) to sit down and resolve their issues. In the meantime, Trick is working on his LP Finally Famous, which is due this summer. Ross is still pushing Deeper Than Rap and working on a fourth solo LP. Rick Ross' latest video, "All I Really Want," debuted on MTV Jams on Thursday (May 7) and features The-Dream.

Scranton Venue Says No to Same-Sex Weddings
When a Pennsylvania inn refused to hold a same-sex wedding for two lesbians, the outrage on social media only served to highlight the fact that while gays and lesbians can legally wed in the Keystone State, they can just as legally be discriminated against in public accommodations.
The Times-Tribune reported that when 29-year-old Desiree Mark of Greenfield Township called Inne at Abingtons to ask about holding their wedding, they were very politely -- and legally -- refused.
"Unfortunately, we do not hold same sex marriages at our facility. I truly do hope you find somewhere that will fulfill all your wedding dreams," read the email from Courtney Killeen, wedding and event planner for Inne at the Abingtons. "I don't agree with it," added Killeen, noting that the owner, John O. Antolick, would be unlikely to comment publicly. The Times-Tribune said Antolick did not respond to several requests for an interview.
Molly Tack-Hooper, staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, called it "the most polite example of anti-gay discrimination I've ever seen."
Because Pennsylvania doesn't have legal protections for LGBTs, any business can legally refuse to serve them, to the incredulity of Mark's mother, Francie Adams who said, "What do they mean? This is discrimination. It's not right."
The incident caused an outcry on social media, after Marks posted it to her Facebook page. But it was no surprise to John Dawe, executive director of the NEPA Rainbow Alliance, who said, "They think there is no way this -- a business saying 'no gay people here' -- can be legal. They want to sue and make a point."
But the real issue here is the lack of protections for gays, which the proposed House and Senate Bill 300 could ensure by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression in employment, housing and public accommodations.

This photograph was taken on the occasion of the engagement of Potter to Heelis. They married on 15 October 1913. No photographs of the wedding day exist, although Potter's father Rupert, a barrister and prolific amateur photographer, did photograph the couple the previous day in the back garden of the Potter family home in Kensington, London. The ceremony was a quiet one and took place in the local church of St Mary Abbots. A shared love of nature, the countryside, farming and the preservation of rural life contributed to their happy marriage of thirty years.
