Gr 3–7—Zeno, an African grey parrot, knows 127 words, but when his human suddenly dies, his advanced vocabulary does nothing to prepare him for life outside his Brooklyn apartment. Not comprehending what has happened to Dr. Agard, he embarks upon a journey to find food, friendship, and understanding. In another part of Brooklyn, a girl named Alya has all but given up hope as she battles leukemia. In a desperate search to find his favorite food, banana-nut muffins, Zeno appears at her window where he sees his beloved food within. Bedridden, Alya fantasizes that the mysterious talking bird can give her strength. Zeno, unfortunately, is facing his own obstacles as he is famished, lost, and kidnapped by an evil woman, and he has frustrating encounters with birds that can't comprehend his words. Alya's older brother, Parker, sets out on his own journey to try to find Zeno to bring him back to Alya, in a frantic attempt to save his ailing sister. The story is alternately told in Zeno's and Alya's voices, and both characters are compelling, believable, and likable. Sprinkled with humor, particularly with Zeno's gaps in vocabulary, the plot is fast paced and will appeal to a wide range of readers as they root for a satisfying ending for both the bird and the young girl.—Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA

The Desperate Adventures of Zeno & Alya

An alarm buzzed. A phone rang. Theme music from a news program played. A clock chimed ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen times. The alarm buzzed again louder and louder. And louder. No one turned it off. No one got up and put food in the shiny aluminum bowl that was, alas, completely empty.
The source of all these sounds rapped his beak on top of the bookcase. The house was silent for a moment, as if everything in it, even the walls of leather-bound books, hoped for a response. There was none. So the alarm buzzed, the phone rang, the music played, the clock chimed, the alarm buzzed, and a raucous voice proclaimed, "Zeno wants!"
Zeno was an African grey parrot. He could imitate sixty-three sounds and speak 127 words. Since those two were by far his favorites, he repeated them again, "Zeno wants!"
He flapped his gray wings and spread his tail that was as scarlet as the lining of a magician's cape. Then he flew over to the shiny aluminum bowl. He cocked his head to one side to see if his servant had filled it with food. There were no nuts, no fruits, no greens — nothing except Zeno's own reflection. He admired his sleek gray head and the sharp curve of his dark beak. Then he carefully lifted his left foot, grasped the rim of the bowl with his long gray toes, and flipped the bowl onto the floor. The metal clattered so delightfully on the hard wood that Zeno repeated the sound himself.
Then he paused, waiting to be praised and rewarded. No one said, "Brilliant bird." No one gave him an apple chunk. No one recorded the sound and the date in the notebook. No one said, "That makes sixty-four distinct sounds." And no one started a discussion of whether words should count as sounds. What was the difference between a sound and a word? Sounds had meanings, too. Didn't the buzz of the alarm mean "wake up"?
"Zeno wants," Zeno muttered mournfully. He flew over to perch on the desk so he could look down at his servant.
Dr. Agard was still sleeping on the floor. Zeno didn't understand this. Dr. Agard was a man of regular habits. He had never lain down on the floor for even a moment in the twenty years that he had been Zeno's servant. He had certainly never slept there.
The real phone rang. Zeno cocked his head and glared at the black rectangle. It rang seventeen times. Dr. Agard didn't get up to answer it.
Zeno made the sound of the buzzing alarm again. This was always very effective at waking up Dr. Agard, even when it was the middle of the night. However, nothing was as it should be.
Dr. Agard hadn't even put away his papers before taking his nap. He was always careful to keep them where Zeno couldn't get them. Several stacks were on the desk, including one that Dr. Agard had described as final exams. You see, in addition to being Zeno's servant, Dr. Agard was also a professor of Greek literature at Brooklyn College. He had named Zeno after a Greek philosopher. He often quoted the human Zeno to the parrot Zeno.
"Extravagance is its own destroyer," Zeno squawked. He waited for Dr. Agard to reward him for saying what the human Zeno said. There was no response. Surely it was extravagant of Dr. Agard to lie on the floor instead of feeding Zeno.
"Pfft," Zeno muttered. He put his foot on the stack of final exams and used his beak to tear a long strip off the top paper. This was one of Zeno's favorite things to do. He loved the feel of the paper in his mouth, loved the little bit of resistance from the paper, and then the soft sighing sound as the paper abandoned itself to Zeno's will. Rip, rip, rip, rip. What could be more satisfying than to turn a flat white sheet into a muddle of curls?
Zeno glanced at Dr. Agard again. He still hadn't moved. Zeno didn't understand this. Usually Dr. Agard would rush over at the first little rip, waving his hands and shouting, "Those are my papers, Zeno. Mine."
Well, perhaps they were Dr. Agard's. However, Zeno didn't see why he wanted them. He never did anything interesting with them. He just held them in his hand. Occasionally he made marks like bird tracks with that short stick, which Zeno wasn't supposed to gnaw, either. What was enjoyable about that? Nothing. In fact, Dr. Agard often moaned as he was marking the papers. Sometimes he would say things like, "You could have written a better essay than this, Zeno." And Zeno would nod his head several times yes yes yes. Even though he couldn't really claim to know the words "essay" or "written," he did know that he could have done a better job at whatever it was because he was, of course, Zeno.
Finally all the papers had been shredded. Dr. Agard hadn't rescued a single one.
"Mine?" Zeno said.
He turned his head upside down to stare at Dr. Agard. Then he turned his head the other way to ponder the situation from that point of view. What was Dr. Agard doing down there? Dr. Agard often told Zeno that Zeno had to control his emotions if he wanted to achieve wisdom. This was called being stoic. The human Zeno was supposed to be very good at that and at accepting his fate. The parrot Zeno wondered if that was why Dr. Agard was lying there? Had he found wisdom by not being angry at Zeno?
"Pfffft," Zeno muttered.
If that were true, being stoic didn't seem like a good thing. Of course Zeno was delighted that Dr. Agard wasn't angry. However, Dr. Agard didn't seem happy, either. And Dr. Agard seemed to have forgotten all about sharing their Sunday morning treat.
Unlike his human namesake, Zeno the bird never suffered in silence. "Zeno wants!" he squawked.
And what did Zeno want? Since you are no doubt much better at understanding your feelings than poor Zeno, you know that Zeno wanted Dr. Agard to get up. He wanted the life they had shared for twenty years to continue. He wanted not to feel alone in the house. He wanted to be rid of that little throbbing knot of fear and dread in his stomach. He wanted ...
"Banana nut!" Zeno squawked.
Well, he wasn't the only one who thought everything would be all right if he could just eat his favorite food.
Sharing banana-nut muffins was one of their rituals. Unfortunately Dr. Agard had decided to take a nap on the floor like a stoic instead of going out to get their special Sunday treat.
Zeno flapped down and stood right next to Dr. Agard's head.
Dr. Agard didn't move.
"Banana nut?" Zeno muttered mournfully.
The phone rang again.
Dr. Agard didn't move.
Zeno rubbed the side of his beak against Dr. Agard's finger — the one Dr. Agard used to scratch the top of Zeno's head, right in the dark gray patch of feathers, between the pale gray circles that surrounded his yellow eyes. Dr. Agard always stroked Zeno's head as he said that Zeno was the most beautiful, brilliant bird in all of Brooklyn.
"Booful, briyant bird," Zeno muttered.
The doorbell rang — the real one. Then someone knocked on the door. "Dr. Agard? Dr. Agard?"
The knocking turned to banging.
"Dr. Agard!"
Zeno recognized the voice of Dr. Agard's assistant. There had been many over the years. Zeno never liked them. They didn't seem to understand that since Dr. Agard was Zeno's servant, the servants of Dr. Agard must be Zeno's servants, too. The current assistant frequently referred to Zeno as "that bird." He had yelled at Zeno in a most un-stoic-like fashion just because Zeno had ripped open the assistant's backpack to help himself to a packet of mixed nuts.
"Dr. Agard? I'm opening the door."
The locks turned. The door opened. Zeno flapped his wings and flashed his scarlet tail feathers. "BRAWWWK!" Zeno squawked, ready to defend Dr. Agard against these intruders.
The assistant and two other men in blue clothes rushed into the room.
"Get that bird out of here," the assistant shouted.
That bird? The assistant should have learned Zeno's name by now. Dr. Agard had told the assistant often enough.
"Zeno," Zeno squawked. "Booful, briyant Zeno."
The humans weren't listening. One actually shoved Zeno away from Dr. Agard. Zeno was so shocked by this rough treatment that he flew up to the bookshelf. He pulled a book of Greek tragedies off the top shelf and dropped it to the floor. Plop. He kept pulling books until he had cleared the entire shelf. Plop, plop, plop, plop.
The men in blue knelt by Dr. Agard. They loosened his clothes, poked him with needles, stuck tubes in his arms, and covered his face with a mask.
And still Dr. Agard didn't move.
After several frantic moments, the men in blue stopped what they were doing and became almost as motionless as Dr. Agard. "That's all we can do," one said.
The assistant nodded and hid his mouth behind his hand.
The men in blue gently lifted Dr. Agard onto a little cot, covered him with a white cloth, and wheeled him out the front door.
Zeno was shocked. Where were they taking Dr. Agard?
"Mine!" he squawked, because of course Dr. Agard was his servant. He flew out the front door after them and perched on the lowest branch of an oak tree.
The assistant hovered close by as the men in blue put Dr. Agard in the back of a white van. They slammed the doors shut. Bang.
Zeno watched the van drive up the street and disappear around the corner. He looked at the door to the house. Should he go back inside? What for? His dishes were empty. The papers were shredded. And Dr. Agard, his devoted servant, had gone.
"Zeno want?" Zeno muttered.
No one responded to him. So Zeno flew off to make his own way in the great wide world.CHAPTER 2
Being outside was so exhilarating for Zeno that he got out of breath after only flying five blocks. He wasn't used to that much exercise. Of course, he had been free to fly wherever he wanted in Dr. Agard's house. However, he usually only wanted to fly the short distance between his stand and his aluminum dishes.
He perched on a tree branch and paused to look around him. The buildings in this part of Brooklyn were all very similar. They were made of brown stone, about four stories tall. Each one was squeezed against its neighbor, with a short flight of stairs between the front door and the sidewalk. The tiny front yards contained flower gardens. Tall trees arched their branches above the streets. These trees were just beginning to get their leaves. It was spring, although Zeno understood little about the seasons because the temperature was constant inside Dr. Agard's house.
A breeze ruffled his feathers. "Pfft," Zeno muttered. He would have to set them right again as soon as he found food. He was extremely hungry.
Zeno had never actually had to find his meals before. He had been fed first by his own parents, and then, after his capture, by various humans until Dr. Agard had been given the honor of becoming Zeno's servant.
Now Dr. Agard had gone away. This was not unusual. Dr. Agard took his papers and went away nearly every day. This time, Dr. Agard had left Zeno without making sure his dishes were full and Zeno had cardboard to gnaw — and without saying, "Good-bye, Zeno, you beautiful, brilliant bird."
"Booful, briyant," Zeno said. He would have to feed himself. He wasn't worried about that. For one thing, if he were in charge of finding his own food, he intended to eat only the things he liked. At the top of that list were banana-nut muffins.
"Banana nut!" Zeno squawked.
He examined the branch upon which he sat. Tiny green leaves had pushed their way up from the brown bark. Obviously this tree was not the source of the banana-nut muffins. He flew farther down the block. He saw trees with pink buds, old brown leaves, and white flowers. Where were the ones with banana-nut muffins?
He flew over a roof and perched in the branches of a pine tree that grew in the backyard between the rows of houses. From a distance, the large brown cones seemed promising, but they weren't muffins, either.
"Pffft," Zeno muttered. How could this be? Dr. Agard must have gotten the muffins from somewhere. And food grew on trees. Zeno was certain of this. Buried beneath his 127 words and sixty-three sounds was a parrot memory. It had been handed down for generations, along with the scarlet feathers of his tail and the ability to talk. Parrots found food on trees. Of course the food they found was a particular kind of palm nut that grew on a type of tree that would never survive the winter in Brooklyn. Still, Zeno felt confident that the food he craved also grew on trees. Where else could it be?
He flew on and on, trying to match the parrot memory to what he observed. Wasn't the row of buildings like a cliff? Wasn't the street with its rush of cars like a river? Wasn't the lamppost just as branchless as a palm tree?
On and on, he flew, and around and around. He didn't dare stray too far, just in case Dr. Agard came back. At any moment, Zeno expected Dr. Agard to appear, holding the white paper bag decorated with blue flowers. "So sorry to be late, old chum. Here's our Sunday treat. Banana-nut muffins!"
But that, as you know, wasn't going to happen.
"Banana nut," Zeno muttered mournfully. He flapped down to perch on the low branch of a pear tree and bent over to preen.
The dark gray feathers that adorned his neck had gotten quite ruffled. He always found comfort in stroking his beautiful feathers. He had never been in a situation quite as stressful as this. His hunger had reached an entirely new level of emptiness. He wasn't sure what to do about that. He might have to tug at every single feather before he felt like himself again.
A high-pitched voice below him said, "Look, Mom. It's a parrot."
Zeno turned sideways to look at the human. There were two of them, both female. Neither one had the glass circles in front of their eyes like Dr. Agard did. The smaller one had spoken to Zeno. She danced around and pointed at him with a purple circle on the end of a stick.
The girl put the circle in her mouth. Was this food? Would Zeno like to eat it? He never saw shiny purple food before. He leaned closer to get a better look.
"That looks like an African grey parrot," the woman said.
Zeno bobbed his head up and down several times, pleased to be recognized. Since Dr. Agard had gone, perhaps this human might enjoy being Zeno's servant?
"Can we take him home?" the girl said.
"Oh, no," the woman said quickly.
"Why not? He looks lonely," the girl said.
Zeno blinked. "Lonely" wasn't one of his one 127 words. He had no idea what it meant. He knew he preferred to be described as brilliant and beautiful.
"Polly want a cracker?" the girl said.
"Pfft," muttered Zeno. Why did humans always ask him about Polly? Who was Polly? Why on earth would Polly want crackers? The one Zeno tried had crumbled into tasteless powder with his first chomp.
"I'm sure he's someone's pet," the woman said.
"Pet?" Zeno squawked. Dr. Agard always scolded anyone who called Zeno a pet.
"He talked, Mommy, did you hear him say 'pet'?" the girl said. "Can we keep him?"
"No, dear, he didn't really talk. He just imitated what I said. He's a bird. He has no idea what words actually mean," the woman said.
"Brawwk!" Zeno flapped his wings vigorously. No idea? How dare the woman say that. He knew what words meant. He knew plenty of things. He was confident he knew much more than the woman. Even if he didn't exactly know where to find banana-nut muffins, she probably didn't, either.
"He can't really think for himself," the woman said.
"Better to trip with the feet than with the tongue." Zeno repeated one of the human Zeno's sayings. Dr. Agard often used that quote to scold his assistant for speaking foolishly.
"Did you hear that?" the girl said.
"That just proves my point. His owner taught him those words. A parrot couldn't possibly know what they mean," the woman said.
Of course Zeno knew. Sort of. Even if he couldn't explain it. Well, he knew that the quote always made the assistant shut up for a while.
"What does it mean?" the girl said.
"It means we better hurry or we'll be late for your violin lesson," the woman said.
She took the girl's hand — the one without the purple circle. Together they ran down the street.
As soon as the humans had gone, Zeno thought of what he should have said to them.
"Zeno not pet!" he squawked.

I thought this book was exceptional. I was a little leery of the parts told in the parrot's voice, but Zeno was quite charming, particularly as he grew in his understanding of the world. I loved Alya's character, so brave and also so genuine in her fears and her way of looking at the world. I thought the author did a particularly good job of capturing the complexities of a loving family in the midst of a stressful situation. I am a children's librarian and I'm hoping to use this book in my girls' book club in the spring. Usually I don't choose brand new titles because it can be hard to get enough copies from other libraries but in this case I think it will be worth the effort. Highly recommended, along with another title by Jane Kelley: Nature Girl.

The Rock Returns
Well, I guess we know why they cancelled the Rusev vs. Show match.
In a surprise appearance, the Rock showed up at last night's Raw to a huge pop from the Brooklyn crowd to confront Rusev & Lana. The Russian duo had just called out the Big Show after berating him and the American people for racism for his "hate crime" against the Russian flag when the Great One's music hit and we were treated to a classic Rocky promo before nailing Rusev with a few right hands to clear the ring.
I said something to this effect last night but it bears repeating: I don't care if there's no real pay off to a Rock/Rusev confrontation, if The Rock says he'll show up to Raw 10 times out of 10 you put him on TV and let him do whatever. He's simply too famous not to and Hollywood movie star versus evil foreign menace is an easy narrative to understand for casual fans flipping over from Monday Night Football. It was a true surprise in an era where shocking moments are few and far between and Rusev looks better for the interaction in my eyes.
No, he didn't get any offense in, but in between Rock's jabs about Moscow Mooseknuckles and Soviet Streetwalkers was the fact that the Rock recognized Rusev's push. A huge WWE star like Rocky pointing out that nobody has been able to beat Rusev because he's bigger, stronger, more dangerous than the rest is a good thing for building up Rusev. I thought Lana shone in the segment as well, never letting the Rock's jabs get to her that much. I'm not going to address the misogyny discussion that always rears its head when Rock does a promo other than to wonder if the people who constantly bring this up have been watching wrestling for very long. Moving on…

The Houston Rockets' winning streak is over, but their first playoff spot in four seasons is in sight. A matchup with the Western Conference-worst Phoenix Suns should help the Rockets move closer to that goal. Houston could have Chandler Parsons and Carlos Delfino back Tuesday night in the start of a three-game homestand. With a chance to match a season-best five-game win streak, the Rockets (43-34) gave up their most points in a regulation game this season on Saturday, losing 132-114 at Denver. Thirty-two of those points came off Houston's 19 turnovers. Parsons, the team's second-highest scorer (15.3 ppg) behind James Harden (25.8), missed his second straight game with a right calf injury, while Delfino sat for a third in a row with flu-like symptoms. "I think throwing the ball to them was a bigger focal point (than missing Chandler and Delfino)," said coach Kevin McHale after the 2-1 trip. "They had 32 points off our turnovers and 18 points off offensive rebounds. There's no defense for throwing them the ball for a layup. It's hard to overcome." The Rockets, one game behind Golden State for the sixth spot in the West, will try to regroup at Toyota Center, where they've won 13 of 16. Had Utah (41-37) lost to the Warriors on Sunday, Houston could have locked up its first playoff berth since 2008-09 on Tuesday with a win. The Jazz, though, defeated Golden State 97-90 to move one-half game ahead of the ninth-place Los Angeles Lakers (40-37). While the Rockets try to secure their postseason spot, the Suns (23-54) are finishing one of the worst seasons in team history. Phoenix -- last in the Western Conference -- kicks off its three-game trip after dropping a franchise-record seventh straight in the desert on Sunday, 95-92 to New Orleans. The Suns' nine-game losing streak is their longest since a franchise-worst 13-game skid to begin 1996-97. "There's no reason to be positive," former Rocket Luis Scola said. "So how are we going to stay positive? Nobody should be positive. We have to work hard. The way we do it is we realize that we have problems and that we need to fix them." The third quarter needs immediate attention. The Suns have been outscored by an average of 17.3 points in that period over the last three games. "We have to look deeper into it and see what's going on, because it's like a trend for us," said interim coach Lindsey Hunter, whose team has dropped 15 of 17. The Suns came out flat in the second half of a 111-81 loss at Houston on March 13, getting outscored 32-17 in the 12 minutes after the break. Houston ended a three-game skid in this series with the victory and ruined the return of Scola and point guard Goran Dragic, who re-signed with the Suns last summer after spending 2011-12 and a part of the previous season with the Rockets. Dragic had 11 points and four assists in that contest, but he also scored 14 of his 18 in the fourth quarter of a 107-105 home win over Houston on March 9. Harden, who set a team single-season record with his 631st free throw on Saturday, is 15 of 16 from the line against the Suns this season. He also has a team-best 56 points and 10 3-pointers in 15 attempts in the two games. These teams play again Monday in the Suns' home finale.

I chose the New Yorker Hotel because of location, price, and most importantly, the reviews on Trip Advisor. Not only was I not disappointed, I was totally thrilled by the level of service and courtesy we received from the entire staff. Local friends advised against the area, however, we found it to be an extremely charming up-and-coming neighborhood. The room was clean and offered a retro feel with modern amenities. The staff suggested Bolans Cafe for breakfast which was only a block away and the food was fantastic. We will definitely suggest this hotel to our friends and visit again on our next kayaking trip in Miami.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Completely renovated in March 2010, New Yorker is a boutique hotel built inside the shell of a preserved motel from 1953. Located on Miami's famous MiMo Boulevard, we are the perfect hotel for those seeking upscale accommodations at an affordable price.

Magic Trackpad.The first Multi-touch trackpad for Mac desktop computers.
The largest Multi-Touch trackpad ever.Magic Trackpad is just like the trackpad on the MacBook Pro — but bigger. It's made with the same advanced touch-friendly and wear-resistant glass surface. But with nearly 80 percent more area, it's the largest Multi-Touch trackpad made by Apple. So there's even more room for you to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your fingers' content. And since the entire surface is a button that clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse.
It fits in perfectly.Magic Trackpad features the same sculpted aluminum design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and side by side the two sit flush at the same angle and height. Go from typing to gesturing in one motion, or do both at the same time. How perfect is that?
Effortless wireless.Magic Trackpad works using Bluetooth technology, so you don't have to deal with an annoying cable that dictates where you place it. Once you pair Magic Trackpad with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac, you'll enjoy a reliable, secure connection up to 33 feet away. Magic Trackpad detects periods of inactivity, and it's equipped with an on/off switch. Together these features help to conserve battery life, so you can keep gesturing for months at a time.
Rotate.With your thumb and index finger on the Multi-Touch surface, twist clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate an image.
Yes, as long as the minimum requirements are met.
Minimum Requirements:
A Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
Mac OS X v10.6.4 or later
Latest Magic Trackpad software update
Yes, this will work with Mac OS Lion.
This is my second track pad. The first one lasted about four years. I like the fact that you can rest your wrist flat on the desk and let your fingers do the walking and it requires little movement. I have had several wrist and hand surgeries and I can use this without any pain or fatigue.
The trackpad takes a bit of getting use to but once you get the basics down, it is easy to use. I still prefer the wireless mouse but them old habits die slowly.
I tried it at the Apple store, I liked it and bought it at your store . Works great. Way better than a mouse. Very Happy.
I was very happy with this purchase. The trackpad is great for the Mac, especially when running Mountain Lion. It makes life so much easier since there is a lot of real estate to cover on the iMac desktop. This store had the best price I could find anywhere, especially with the assurance of quality from an established retailer.
Excellent, bought to use with an iMac, so much easier than a regular mouse, now like my Mac book Pro.
Magic Trackpad makes navigation easy and natural. Super easy transition between MacBook Pro's trackpad and the desktop where we use the Magic Trackpad
Excellent, does everthing so much easier. Takes ten minutes to get the knack and five minutes to sync.
Great Addition to my iMac.
At this time all I can say is the track pad came in a timely fashion, There's not much I really can say yet I've ordered a 27" iMac as well, and as I write this it has not been released yet. From my own experience working with the Magic Track Pad It is a awesome device, being able to move your hand only and not a mouse , making gestures and single clicks is a great way to use a computer.
So much better than a mouse! I can use all of the gestures and functions available on my MacBook trackpad, makes navigating between applications and pages super fast and easy. Would recommend to any Mac lover needing a desktop mouse solution. Worth the price.
This Track pad works as well as the track pad on my Mac Book Pro... freeing me up to move!
The mouse is dead!!!! LONG LIVE THE TRACKPAD!!!!
If you're using an apple product, you have to have this! So buy it now......DO IT!!!!!
I don't even use a mouse anymore because of this wonderful device. A great quality product!
Works great
Very convenient and frees up a usb port. Clicking takes a somewhat hard push but so far, after getting used to
a new gadget, I really like it and find it convenient.
works great
it makes the mac so much more like a touch pad.
Works just as advertised. No complaints, no regrets.
The Magic Trackpad is great. Now that I have gotton used to the trackpad and its gestures I hardly ever use the mouse.
Trackpad is awesome!
This BT trackpad added more touch surface and features than my built-in trackpad on my older Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I love being able to quickly flip through photos on iPhoto and the touch zoom in/out feature is great for editing. A nice addition to my MacBook Pro.

Grand View Cottage: Wonderful views and location
This is a brand new cottage with two apartments that overlook the sea. Our apartment had two oversized bedrooms, each with spacious ensuite bathrooms and a tile shower, open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area (fridge, stove, microwave, dishes etc provided) and a great balcony with outdoor table and chairs. Though it was just two of us and we didn't need the second bedroom, the rates were for the entire apartment and was still a bargain. The bedrooms all overlook the sea so it was wonderful waking up to that each morning.
We both love snorkelling and it was great that we could walk down to Friendship Bay beach each morning. I highly recommend staying here if it is available.
Fabulous views, privacy, large rooms, new structure and great location close to the beach.

View Explanation Here: Moon Days
Red Earth Yoga Center (REYC) is a yoga studio dedicated to the transformative and healing practice of yoga, something that I have been fortunate enough to experience first hand. Years ago, I found myself in a highly competitive industry facing seemingly relentless obstacles. To succeed often meant grueling hours, mind-blowing legalities, and high end stakes. There was simply no room for error. The stress was enormous, but so were the benefits. It was a business that afforded me the ability to make my own hours so that I (or my husband) could be home with our children. As a mother and wife, I was overwhelmed, struggling for that elusive balance between a profitable career and a happy home life. The struggle was REAL! I began looking for healthy ways to DE-STRESS! I had always been active. Ballet, dance, and gymnastics were an integral part of my early years, and of course as adults we had the gym memberships which were used heavily at the beginning of each year, and then slowly waned as we rolled into the summer months. We lived in Florida so there were always walks on the beach, swimming, surfing, fishing, boating and other outdoor activities. I loved rollerblading, playing racquetball, and even ran marathons, but other than dance and gymnastics, nothing ever really felt like it was "my thing." That is, until I walked in to my first yoga class. I was desperate for peace, tired of running, both literally and figuratively. I will never forget the feeling I had leaving class that day. Although I had never done yoga before, I felt like I had "come home." There was something so familiar, and right, and sacred about it. I knew intuitively, at THAT moment, that my body and mind and spirit needed healing and that THIS practice would be the answer. I knew that instead of running away, (from life and all of its complexities) that I needed to slow down, stop even, and pay attention to that "still small voice" inside of me that said " if you don't take care of you, you can't take care of them." My family needed me to be healthy! I knew I needed work! I was always so concerned about their health that I often neglected my own. I began diligently going to yoga practice, sometimes twice a day. My body, my mind and my spirit thirsted for it, and I soaked it up like a sponge. I found peace through yoga. I found healing through yoga. I reconnected (and still do) to the One who created me, through Yoga. It sounds simple, doesn't it? Trust me, it wasn't. It didn't happen overnight, and there are still things that stress me out and make me angry. I'm human. But I am a much more peaceful person than I was back in those difficult times. I now know how to manage stress and how to treat my body like the holy vessel it is. I am healthy. I am fit. I am stronger than I have ever been and it is all because of Yoga. Yoga has taught me so much on this journey and I want nothing more than to share it all with you! Yoga CAN change your life. All you have to do is begin.

At Red Earth Yoga Center, we practice warm (not hot) Vinyasa, Hatha & Ashtanga Style Yoga. Most (but not all) of our classes are heated in a studio to 85 degrees. The warmth helps you sustain a healthy amount of sweat which is a natural detox for the body, and also helps to build flexibility. The warmth helps to reduce gently tension and safely raises your heartbeat. Always remember that warm muscles mean a safer practice. All of our classes are non-competitive. We offer powerful flows for those that like the intensity, as well as slower, softer practice that don't require so much energy. Our classes are casual and friendly, (we don't care what you wear and don't believe there is such a thing as a "Yoga Body. Yoga is for EVERY body, regardless of shape, size, or color. Be happy in the skin you are in! Be confident that the teaching at Red Earth Yoga Center is that of QUALITY. Our Instructors are highly trained and are Certified.

Warm Vinyasa Flow- Sundays-4:30, Tuesday- 9:15 am & 5:45 pm, Thursdays-9:15 am,
A Vinyasa class is referred to as a "flow" class because of the constant moving your body flows through, using your breath as a guide. In these classes you can expect plenty of movement, your body flowing through each pose on every inhalation and each exhalation. This class is perfect for beginners and consists of deep static stretches held several breaths to ensure correct form. Props such as blankets, straps, and blocks are often used so that the poses are most effective. This class will consist of abdominal work, balancing postures, deep hip openers, detoxifying twists, calming seated postures and inversions. Modifications will always be available. Beginners welcome but encouraged to take one of the "Beginning Classes" first. Room is heated to approximately 85 Degrees.

I'm also a newbie so keep that in mind when reading this. Seems to me that you want a new Session each time (especially if you're working with user-restricted access levels), but to keep the Repository object around to be shared, essentially as a Session factory. Sort of like the Hibernate model. Paul On 3/5/07, Angelo Immediata <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm newbie in JCR.

Come down to Villa Stores
Available now
Feature by Paul Brown
Marc Albrighton is the darling of the claret and blue faithful because of his love for the club - but he's no longer the biggest Villa fan in his family!
Albrighton grew up on a diet of Steve Stone, Paul Merson, Dion Dublin and Juan Pablo Angel as his affiliation from the Holte End grew week by week, month by month, year by year.
This connection to B6 has made him a big favourite with the masses but his nine-month-old daughter, Matilda-Beau, is showing signs of trumping his support.
"She's got a few Villa shirts already," said Marc. "Me and Chloe got her last season's home kit but now she's got the home and away kit for this season too.
"The first time she wore the home top was against Everton and we lost so obviously for superstitious reasons we kitted her out in the away top for the Swansea game and we won!
"So she's glowing in the dark at the moment! She likes watching Villa on the television and she knows when daddy is on, she points at the screen.
"She loves the Villa badge on the kit too, she's always kissing it and grabbing it. It's really taken her fancy. She's already in love with Villa. She obviously knows who to support!"
Regardless of who she follows, it's clear Albrighton is a new man thanks to his new bundle of fun.
He may only be 23 but he's matured immensely over the past few months.
He's no longer a young lion. Now he's a young father - and loving it.
"Family life is just tremendous. I love it so much. It's fantastic," he continued. "It's just so different. To have Matilda Beau in my life is amazing.
"When I get home from training, she's there smiling. She takes my mind off things. If I haven't performed that well at training or I've had a bad day at the office, my mood soon drifts away when I see her waiting for daddy.
"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. She's wonderful."
The elative boost is certainly something that's echoed in the weekly schedule of training at Bodymoor Heath.
Albrighton admits it's a pleasure to make his way into Bodymoor each morning because of the competitive edge in the build-up to games.
He's thrilled with the atmosphere generated by Paul Lambert and his staff, including Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa.
"It's exciting times. The gaffer has been terrific," he added. "He's set his stall out straight away. The lads totally respect him.
"The gaffer is not scared of making changes. That's the fantastic thing about him as a boss. If you don't play well, you're out of the team. And how can you argue with that?
"He has that honesty. I know he's said he simply picks a team to win a game every weekend. Spot on.
"He watches training and obviously thinks about what will best serve the football club that particular weekend.
"He has no favourites. He's totally focused on what's best for getting results.
"The competition for places is really electric. That's what you need.
"Training is great too. It's very enjoyable. We work on the technical side of the game a lot more - passing, crossing - it's important in this day and age.
"I feel we're really developing and progressing as a squad. We've put in some great performances. I know results haven't gone our away overall. But we really do feel like things are close to clicking."
Make sure you're here to back the lads against Reading.

This is a heavyweight metal extension bar that fit perfectly under the center cabinet section of Item #: 15293219. This was installed along with the John Louis 16-inch Tie and Belt Undermount Rack. Both fit perfectly installed side by side and appear to be high quality. They have been in place for 3 months and still function great. Definitely recommend these two items if you're wondering what to do with the wall space under the center console. They installed quickly (maybe 20 minutes with a power drill).
I got this for my husbands pants. We installed it when we installed the closet organizers using the video on the John Louis website for instructions. It works really well for keeping his pants in order, slides in and out very nicely, and looks very tidy. It was very simple to install on the organizer.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. well made
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? good
No where in the description does it say that it cannot be mounted to a shelf with a bar underneath. It should describe mounting options as where would one have a shelf with no bar? It would take up over half the space in the tower so that would be useless. It is also wider than it would take to hang 9 pairs of pants.
