Apple refunds epic in-app purchase bill to unaware parents
UK Parents Greg and Sharon Kitchen will be getting a "full refund" following an initial refusal by Apple over an incident where their five-year-old son Danny "unintentionally" purchased over $2,500 in in-app game purchases from free iPad game Zombies versus Ninja. The couple claim that the boy purchased 19 high-priced consumable packs for the game, which cost £70 ($106) each -- along with a few smaller purchases -- all within the 15 minute window after the father had keyed in his password authorizing the original download of the game.

 According to Sharon Kitchen, "On Sunday afternoon Danny asked my husband for the passcode. We had lots of visitors in the house and were both a little preoccupied. I recall my husband saying 'No - what is it for?' and Danny said 'It's OK, it's a free one, dad'. So my husband keyed in the passcode." The following day, the iTunes invoices started arriving in the couple's email. The invoices were initially ignored as a mistake, as the bank account associated with the account showed no activity. The family was clued in to the event when the bank called "asking if 19 transactions of £69.99 each were normal." Two days later, the total spent by the child finalized at £1,700 ($2,580). Although Apple has a number of pre-existing safeguards in place to prevent such accidental purchases -- including parental controls, dialogs confirming the purchase and how much will be spent, and having closed the no-password-required window nearly two years ago -- it called the boy's spending spree "clearly unintentional" and agreed to refund the money. Mrs. Kitchen added that "When I realized I called my husband and asked him to sort this out. It was far too easy a thing for [Danny] to do and more should be done to limit stuff like this from happening." Apple closed the "password window" that allowed users to continue purchasing items for up to 15 minutes after keying in their password with the release of iOS 4.3 in early March of 2011. Presumably, the family never upgraded their iOS version from the one it shipped with, nor were they apparently aware of the possibility of in-app game purchases -- though this explanation strains credulity, as the couple have four other, older children. Apple originally did not issue a refund, citing a bevy of actions the parents failed to take or outright circumvented to prevent the purchases from happening. The Apple response noted Parental Controls' ability to restrict access to content and age-rated content, the option to completely disable in-app purchases, and a recommendation to not share the account password inappropriately, which was the case in this incident. The game is actually rated 9+, and not recommended for children under that age.

That's Unnecessary
I think some of the blame still belongs to the parents but this company's add-ons seem shady. $106 for an add-on for a game and there's dozens of add-ons? I think the company that made that game needs to be investigated.
Not unusual
On the game, there are MANY major, mainstream games with in-game currency packs that offer "jumbo" options costing up around $100, in addition to a bunch of smaller ones ranging in price down to a few dollars. One can argue about the fundamental legitimacy of freemium games, but such things are hardly uncommon, or particularly shady--even Infinity Blade II, a polished, $7 game (and a great one), offers $50 in-game currency packs if you're too lazy to play to earn money.
My assumption would be that the kid bought a bunch of the super-expensive "jumbo money" packs, plus a few of the cheaper ones. Could happen in any game that offers such things, even 100% legitimate ones. Though honestly, the headline should be slightly modified to "Apple refunds epic in-app purchase bill to SLOPPY parents"--much more accurate description of their behavior than "unaware." |
Doesn't surprise me
If Apple would take the password option out of the restrictions section, and make the default "immediately" instead of "15 minutes", a lot of this crap wouldn't be happening.
There are so many children's games in the App Store that are clearly scams to bait children into blowing money (e.g. I'm talking about you, Gameloft, a.k.a Gameslop... My Little Pony?!?) that this doesn't surprise me one bit. |
"If Apple..."
Yeah, let's blame Apple for not being a perfect babysitter. Geezus. People need to take some responsibility for themselves and their offspring. |
15 Minutes??
Grendelmon, I thought with iOS 4.3 they did remove the 15 minute windows for in-app purchases and made it mandatory to enter a password immediately for those.

From the article, the parents never upgraded. This was a good move on Apple's part. You should be able to return or cancel purchases. What other things once bought cannot be returned for "buyer regret"?
It's ridiculous
MLP:FiM is a rip off http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,78927.0.html Basically, to "complete" the game, you are actually required to spend money on IAPs. Minimum total purchase price: over $200. And this is for a children's game. A toy from Hasbro. |
Wow...that should be really difficult to accidentally do.

Via Esquire: He might not watch other late night shows, but John Oliver does watch a ton of SportsCenter, as the Last Week Tonight host told us in an interview last week. The guy loves sports. And since his Sunday night show doesn't start until next week, you bet your ass he was watching the Super Bowl. Oliver hated his fellow countrymen Coldplay's halftime performance as much as us U.S. of A. natives, as he told Seth Meyers last night:
"As a British person I saw the appearance of Coldplay slightly excruciating. Oh gentlemen, no. You are not what is required here...It was very much sex with the lights on. Why not? Let's just have the full horror of what's unfolding here. Oh look, there are the amps they've got."
Coldplay is also that band that ruined the fine talent of Jay Z, Rihanna, Beyonce, and countless others.

Fell in love with this fabric as soon as I saw it and thought it'd look nice as an apron-come-stocking filler.
It was cut free hand and finished in about 1/2 an hour, a real quickie.

Philip Foley
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Philip Foley (12 May 1648 – December 1716) was the youngest of the three surviving sons of the British ironmaster Thomas Foley. His father transferred all his ironworks in the Midlands to him in 1668 and 1669 for £60,000. He also settled an estate at Prestwood near Stourbridge on him on his marriage, to which Philip added the manor of Kinver.
Philip ran the ironworks but found that they were not as profitable as they had been, and began from 1674 to sell them off. One group was bought by Sir Clement Clerke. He disposed of the last of them to two of his managers John Wheeler and Richard Avenant, and they also took over what had been Sir Clement Clerke's ironworks when some of those reverted to Philip Foley.
Wheeler and Avenant were more successful in running a rather reduced business and leased blast furnaces in the Forest of Dean from Philip's brother Paul. In 1692, the two joined the managers in the business. Philip remained a partner for the rest of his life, but his family sold out of it shortly after his death. This business produced high quality pig iron which was sent up the River Severn for sale through a warehouse at Bewdley, as well as supplying the firm's own forges such as Wilden Forge on the River Stour. In 1705, John Wheeler retired from managing the business in favour of William Rea, and the firm gave up its remaining ironworks in the Stour valley.
Another iron making business became available with the death of Philip's uncle Henry Glover in 1689. This was handed over to John Wheeler, but in 1695, he and Philip decided that Philip had actually been a partner in it since 1689. This probably could not be openly declared earlier as Philip was one of Glover's executors. This had iron works consisting of Mearheath Furnace (a little distance from the present Meir Heath), and Consall and Oakamoor Forges. Further works were added, including a group in the east Midlands consisting of Staveley Furnace and Forge and Carburton Forge, though that group were only used from 1695 to 1698 when they were handed over to Yorkshire ironmasters. They also made a trade investment in ironworks in Cheshire, in connection with securing a supply of pig iron from there. The Staffordshire and Cheshire businesses were amalgamated in 1708, but Philip probably sold out shortly after 1710.
Philip was also involved in politics as a Member of Parliament and was first elected for Bewdley in 1679. He was subsequently elected for Stafford in 1689 and 1695 and Droitwich in 1690 and 1701.[1]
There was a time when five of the family were in the House of Commons together, the others being his brothers Thomas and Paul Foley, and his nephews (their sons) both called Thomas, one of whom later became Lord Foley. They belonged to the Country Whigs, like their brother in law Robert Harley.
Like most of his family, he was a Presbyterian, though evidently conforming to the Church of England at least occasionally. He employed a series of domestic chaplains, who established Presbyterian congregations in several nearby towns.
- Philip married Penelope, daughter of William Paget, 5th Baron Paget. Their eldest son was Paul Foley of Prestwood (died 27 November 1739). He married Elizabeth Turton, and died leaving two sons (William, born 17 May 1710, and Philip, born 4 June 1711) and three daughters, including Elizabeth (born 3 November 1707) who married John Hodgetts of Shut End in Kingswinford. Their only child Eliza Maria Foley Hodgetts married her distant cousin Hon Edward Foley. The Prestwood estate followed this descent, being settled on her marriage to descend to her second son John Hodgetts Hodgetts-Foley.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.42 / 5.00 6,105 ViewsHave you ever felt like, the first snowflakes, ever to touch the ground, are so meaningfull?
I atempted to bring out the beauty of autumns transition to winter, when nature settles down, and lets the the white, pure non-living take over.
For those of you who are wondering, the song in the video is "intro" by the xx
Now that had the true feeling of nostalgia.
Not to mention, beauty and nature.
It gets your meaning out with out somebody even needing to read the desrciption. Brilliant animation, great music choice and fantastic execution; props bro!
Death never looked so... Lively.
Never thought I'd see a flash animation based on mother nature. It was a good one at that. Soundtrack was also good. All in all, I like it.
That was beautiful
Enought said.

Please god, not the hole in one.
Being from New York, I had never heard of this game. I guess it's big in Scranton because people were incredibly good at it. They brought their own homemade cornhole boards, that's how hardcore they are. What is cornholing, you ask? Well, it's when one inmate commits to a verbal 'contract' with another inmate whereupon he is provided 'protection' in exchange for...no wait -- that's the wrong one.
Much to my relief, it was fairly innocuous and not at all painful, unless you count the acute pain I felt for the lost dignity of those people actually playing. In this instance, cornholing is the act of throwing a bean bag, (or if you are playing with a bunch of professionals, an actual corn bag) at a slanted piece of wood with a hole in it.
There are all sorts of complicated and arcane rules that I really didn't pay attention to because I wasn't playing. From what I gather, it's similar to Jarts except there's no drunkenly launched steel-pointed projectiles flying through the air. With no chance of witnessing an inadvertent impaling, I lost interest pretty quickly.
I was, however, extremely relieved to find out that (1) You weren't forced to play, and (2) It was nothing like I expected.
To give you a sense of my relief, I drew it in picture form:
I have to say the high point for me was this conversation with my boss:
Me: The boards your husband made keep collapsing.
Her: Why? What's wrong with them?
Me: I don't know. I think it's cuz all these guys are professionals and they're just pounding the crap out of your cornhole.
Her: That is just so wrong in so many different ways.
The golfing was a lot of fun. We played a scramble, and I did better than I thought I was going to, since I haven't picked up a golf club in about 10 years. I quit when it became really popular because I was wasting too much time and money on it, and I couldn't stand the way our local public course was turning into a country club. I think I may have to give it another try though.
Special Dark was on my team, which really made the whole thing worthwhile. Even if I never got to swing a club, it would have been worth the 18 bucks just to see him shank three shots in a row straight into the woods and then completely lose his shit and heave his golf club into the next fairway. The other guy on our team had never been golfing before, and a lot of the time it was like watching a cartoon. He'd wind up, swing as hard as he could, completely miss the ball, and then spin around so hard he'd practically screw himself into the ground.
All it needed was manic piano music.
13 comments:
I have heard the term "cornhole" before but never as describing a game.I am pretty sure that if someone said to me "Hey Nicole, tomorrow we are going cornholing" I would've stayed in my hotel and faked sick. That's just me though. I am so not adventurous like that.
Somebody seriously needs to come up with a new name for that game though! That is just one of the weirdest things that I have heard in a long time.
BTW thanks for the tips the other dayjohn said... I am the cornhole master.
That is just wrong on so many levels!! Man if you said something like that in my neck of the woods, I might fear for your life!!!
See, I told you, someone needs to think of a new name for this game.
And yeah, I do have big boobs! It is the ONLY good thing that 4 kids did for my body!you should totally include more drawings on your blog. i laughed so hard i forgot which way to breathe - you know, which is in and which is out - and it threw me into a coughing fit and i got up to go to the bathroom and ran into a hot guy in the hall who accidentally touched my boobie. and i liked that. so more pictures please! true story.
ReplyDeleteA hot guy in the hall once touched my boobie. It was kind of gross. He was all sweaty (being hot and all) and I was like, "HEY! What the f#@k do I have boobies for? They're typically found on islands or by the coast and I'm well inland, away from their main foodsource (fish)"
Here in the Suburbs of Chicagoland, Cornholing or simply, as most have come to call it, Beanbags or even just Bags is a great outdoor activity at the local bar (those which have an outdoor area) and many bars even have leagues. Much cheaper to participate in than golf.Listen, there should never be a game known as "cornhole". That's just wrong. Besides, it's just a stupid variation of the ole "bean bag toss" we had to play in kindergarten at break time...except with only one hole.
But I'm more interested in your Special Dark stories while golfing! I'm with Cruiser on that...

Homemade Yogurt
by Sara Rands
Related Articles |
Making Homemade Yogurt |
The best resource I have found about making homemade yogurt is in The Tightwad Gazette III. Amy Dacyczyn gives the how-tos & trouble shooting there.
Thanks to her instructions, and some help from my family, I've been successfully making yogurt for about 2 years now. You need a yogurt starter, milk, and a way to incubate it for 4-12 hours at about 110 degrees so the bacteria in the starter can grow to take over the whole jar.
Yogurt starter is either store-bought or homemade yogurt, or a freeze-dried starter you can buy at health-food stores. I've never checked into the freeze-dried starter; Amy reported it as expensive. But you can freeze yogurt to use for starter. Just put it in an ice-cube tray and store your 'yogurt cubes' in bags. That should be the 2-tbsp of yogurt you need to make a quart.
Milk: use whatever kind you want. Nonfat dry milk is usually cheapest. If you want thicker yogurt you can stir in a bit extra milk powder (1/3 cup per quart of yogurt).
To make a quart:
- Stir together a quart of milk with 1/3 cup milk powder, if desired. If using frozen yogurt starter, set yogurt cubes out to thaw.
- Heat milk to 180 degrees, stirring constantly. Use a candy thermometer to measure temperature.
- Remove milk from heat; let cool to 115 degrees. This takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of the rest of the house.
- Stir in 2 tbsp of yogurt starter. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour the milk/yogurt mixture into sterilized jars. (Whenever I do it, it's a bit more than a quart, so have an extra jar ready.) Incubate for 4-12 hours, or until it is set (i.e. looks like yogurt, not milk). The longer you incubate, the more sour the yogurt will be. Refrigerate until cool.
How to incubate: There are lots of methods--see the book. I fill an ice chest with the hottest water the tap will give me, place the jars of yogurt in there, and close the ice chest. This is inexpensive, has worked in all of the rentals I've lived in, and doesn't require much storage space. If the water cools during incubation, as it might if it's cool in your home, refill with hot water.
Is it worth it? Yes, if you're at home for the amount of time required. It only takes about 15 minutes hands-on time, and the savings is considerable.
I've never done drinkable yogurt, so that will require some experimentation. Try not adding extra milk powder--that alone might be thin enough, since homemade yogurt seems thinner than store-bought. If not, try thinning the yogurt with more milk.
To use yogurt, add sugar and fruit to yogurt for a snack. Plain yogurt can be used as a non-fat sour cream substitute--my family enjoys it on burritos and in casseroles. Add 1/3 cup plain yogurt to packaged macaroni and cheese, instead of milk and butter, for a tangy taste. Try adding some yogurt to mashed potatoes in place of some of the butter and milk. By draining the yogurt in cheesecloth through a colander, you can make "yogurt cheese," which has the consistency of cream cheese, and is good as a dip for chips or vegetables.
Not only is making yogurt thrifty, it's a science project about bacteria. Scalding the milk kills the "bad" bacteria that make milk go bad, and the yogurt starter introduces the "good" yogurt bacteria (also known as "active cultures"). The incubation gives the good bacteria the conditions they need to reproduce. The yogurt is done when the bacteria have grown throughout the yogurt.

Made me and my girlfriend feel right at home as soon as we stepped through the door. Very chilled out host and had free rain of the house and do come and go as we please. Easy walking distance from town. All in all a very nice and wellcoming stay. Would 100% go again
tomOctober 2016Dwaine was very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and close to downtown. I would stay with him again!
MeghanNovember 2016Dwaine's place is a great stop for a stay in Dublin. I stayed on my last night in the city and Dwaine was so welcoming and helpful. It was comfortable, very clean and tidy and warm. Really appreciated the cup of tea and chance to relax after a busy holiday! Thanks Dwaine, would definitely recommend.
CarlaJanuary 2017Dwaine is an absolutely wonderful host. He was extremely prompt with check in and helpful with directions and overall pleasant and extremely polite. If we're coming back to Dublin we're gonna rent from Dwaine
MarcNovember 2016We had a wonderfull time in Dublin with a great room and a really nice host: Dwaine. The room was clean and fully equipped. downstairs we had access to the kitchen (which comes in handy for breakfast or a late night snack). We did everything on foot, the city center is just a short walk away. The neighbourhood might seem a bit rough, but just like our host, the people were helpful and very kind! note to Dwaine: Thanks for the warm welcome we had at your house and the tips you gave us for our stay in Dublin! (ask him all about it ;)) Greetings Floor & Simon
FloorNovember 2016Dwaine was a very anticipating host. He showed us the house and wanted us to feel at home. He also gave us the opportunity to use the washing machine. The guestroom was big, bright and clean. He gave us some good advices for Dublin and surprised us one day with a delicious breakfast. All in all, thank you Dwayne :)
JanOctober 2016Beautiful home, comfortable room and a lovely host who couldn't help enough, would definitely reccomend!

The apartment is nice. The room is warm and tidy and the bathroom is very nice. But it is a bit noisy since it is on a busy street. At first Krystian is not at home, his housemate Kate welcomed us. Kate is very nice and friendly. After few days we met Krystian. Krystian is also a nice guy. To be honest me and my friends are shy so we didn't have much conversation with the host. But they response very quickly and are always willing to help. All in all, it's a pleasant stay.
JillSeptember 2015Wir waren nur eine Nacht in Krystians Unterkunft, aber es war trotzdem schön. Leider musste man recht viel laufen, aber sonst kann ich nichts bemängeln. Krystian ist auch ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber.
LisaOctober 2016I didn't manage to meet Krystian during my stay. He arrange his friend to host us. She was nice and helpful. The room was spacious and clean.
AlyceOctober 2016The room was very nice, in a quiet area 10 minutes away from the city center (walking). The host was very kind and suggested us several places we could visit. We had a very short but pleasant stay!
AlessandroOctober 2016A fantastic stay! I am very grateful for the night I spent at this residence, and very much appreciated the spacious room, and comfortable area which I had to myself. Also located a short and enjoyable walk from the heart of the city.
MarkNovember 2016Everything was great. A nice place to stay. Good communication from the hosts.
JustasFebruary 2017Krystian was really helpfull and give us good advices for the visit of Dublin ! We arrive earlier as he normaly asked but he arranged to meet us earlier, it as really nice ! All was perfectly clean, and the appartement is like on the pics ! Thanks for all !
DavidSeptember 2016Krystian ist ein netter Host, er hat uns freundlich empfangen und und hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Das Appartment ist ein wenig ab vom Schuss, dafür direkt neben dem Croke Park. Das Zimmer ist wie beschrieben. Ob die Wohnung XL ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen, da wir nur unser Zimmer und das Bad gesehen haben.

Had a fantastic weekend stay! Leonie and Paddy were very welcoming and had thought of everything. 2 minute walk to the bus stop with easy transport to town and to the airport. Lovely place to stay, would definitely recommend and would stay here again on another visit.
BrittanyJanuary 2017Very nice place to visit Dublin! The house is located 2min walk from bus stop and there are many busses to go to the city center and airport.
AmélieDecember 2016Leonie and Paddy were great hosts, happy to help with any queries if needed but left to own privacy otherwise. The apartment was cosy, quiet, had everything needed to cook etc and was very clean upon arrival. The area was central, 10 mins on the bus to town. Leonie showed us around and was very pleasant, had left out hamper with the little essentials to start our stay which made us feel at home from the outset! Would definitely recommend :)
KieranJanuary 2017Honestly our hosts were so kind and we wish we could have stayed longer but were only there for a few days in passing. The neighborhood was great with plenty to eat or bars in walking distance. We left the area to sightsee but always made it back to Fagan's Pub at night. The apartment looked exactly like the pictures and was so clean. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

John's house is about 40 minutes far from the centre of Dublin (walk) but it is a area with local pubs and bars - good for going out in the evenings. House is shared with other people but we met and talked just with John. He is nice person and he was just waiting for us in our room. He was really open to advise us how to get to do centre etc. He wasn't finished with all cleaning of the room before we came but it wasn't a problem. I've just found a shower like a not enough clean. Room looks more spacious on the photos.. We got a a good breafast.
SilvieNovember 2016非常热情的大叔,还开车来巴士站接我们,虽然上一个住户还没有离开,房间也没有打扫,也没减少我们对他的好感,放了行李出去溜达回来房间就收拾干净了!
weiweiOctober 2016John è stato molto accogliente e disponibile. La stanza è un pò piccolina e essenziale, è pulita ma sarebbe da ristrutturare. Per un'italiana, l'angolo cucina è veraramente insufficiente, perchè senza fornelli, ma solo il microonde, il tostapane, e il bollitore. La colazione l'abbiamo sempre fatta fuori casa. Comodissima la posizione dell'alloggio, e poi John è veramente gentile, ci ha aiutato con gli spostamenti, portandoci in macchina e spiegandoci Dublino, ci ha aiutato per il noleggio delle biciclette. Inoltre ho avuto un problema, con una notte in più a Dublino, e si è prodigato per aiutarmi a trovare un'altra stanza. Simpaticissimo e disponibile
DariaMay 2016Alles war okay ;) Der Weg zur Tempel bar beträgt 2,4 km . Hatten eine schöne Zeit in Dublin .. John war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Aber würde nächstes mal etwas Näheres suchen ..
michelleNovember 2015Excellent place to crash. John was kind enough to wait for us to arrive although it was nearly midnight. Although we only stayed one night we wish we had stayed longer. His calendar is booked pretty well in advance. The location is perfect. The airport bus and regular bus (cheaper) is down the street. There is a grocery store with a coffee shop also down the street. Highly recommended.
maryFebruary 2016We had a great time in Dublin. John was very pleasent and gave us all the information we needed. The studio is very small and old fashioned - so if you plan to visit Dublin all day long and only stay for the night it is okay and most of all it is cheap.
AnneDecember 2015John is a very nice host. The room was cleaned. One Day he offered to carry us very early in the morning. The room was very confortabe just like the ubication of the house. 20' walk to the city centre and buses every 5'. We recomend it.
BegoOctober 2016Good location if you have something to do in Croke Park. 30min by walk to city centre, 3min to Airport shuttle bus. Room is rather small, ok for 1 or 2 people, but I would not recommend it for families with children. Host was ok.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Communication was easy as Dino and his sister always made themselves available if we had any questions.

Good location in quiet neighbourhood and close to public transport and shops. The room was cosy and comfortable.
LauraFebruary 2017It was great! For the price, you are getting a great deal. The WiFi worked great, there was coffee and I enjoyed the room as an independent traveler. It is an older house so the front door key was tougher to use then I expected but I got the hang of it after some time. The proximity of the house to the bus was awesome - I used that transportation most of my stay. It is cold at night in the house so make sure you bring warm clothes to sleep. I appreciated the towels provided and there is a hot shower. The water pressure isn't that strong but it gets the job done. Overall, I would recommend this as a great option for travelers on a budget and appreciate the stay!
TeresaDecember 2016Was a nice trip and really good communication with the host! Easy way to the city center and from the airport by bus.
JulianJanuary 2017Francieli was a great host and made my stay very easy. The place was nice and quiet and reasonable and I can only recommend it highly
JosefOctober 2016loved the place and it's not far from the city centre, never even had to take the bus to go there. the neighborhood is quiet and green. good value
MoroiOctober 2016Everything was fine, the communication, room, towel. Accept one thing: I would not recommend the place to anyone who likes to be in warm room in a chilly days.
PetraNovember 2016Simple and to the point
MichaelJanuary 2017Francieli ist sympathisch, hilfsbereit und hat mir alle nützlichen Informationen für die Anreise zukommen lassen. Der Check-in hat reibungslos funktioniert. Das Appartment an sich ist sauber und genau wie beschrieben bzw. abgebildet. Auch das kleine Zimmer ist sauber, allerdings sehr kalt. Als ich angekommen bin, wurde bereits festgestellt, dass die Heizung nicht richtig funktioniert. Ich vermute das Zimmer ist auch nicht richtig isoliert, sodass es am Abend lange dauerte, bis es warm wurde. Mit Wollpulli, Mütze und Schal war es ok, aber an "Frostbeulen" kann ich das Zimmer nicht weiterempfehlen. Zumindest nicht im November. Das ganz Appartment war sauber, es liegen Adapter bereit, die man sich ausleihen kann und man hat eigentlich alles was man brauch. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in 10 min zu erreichen. In die Stadt kann man gut laufen - dauert ca. 30 min und es ist auch abends allein ein angenehmer Weg.

Really friendly, clean and comfortable place to stay. Nice to be introduced to everyone when given a tour of the house and Weslei did his best to make it a pleasent night there.
DavidNovember 2016Good place to stay in, comfortable and closer to the city center. Weslei was always open to talk and helping with everything!
AlejandroNovember 2016Good place very helpful host, Weslei
RonanJanuary 2017Weslei is a friendly and helpful host and the guesthouse is well run. I had a private room on the first floor and access to the shared living room, kitchen and bathroom all on the ground floor. The house was clean and tidy and the atmosphere established with the hosts and other guests was very good. All the facilities work but the bathroom plumbing is basic. The listing is good value for money in Dublin.
TonyNovember 2016Weslei is a nice and communicative, he met us when we arrive and showed everything. He even left some cookies and fruits in the fridge for us which was very nice =) Place is good, room had everything we needed - fridge, wardrobe with a big variety of hangers, big and comfortable bed. Kitchen is also very well fitted, with lots of plates, cups, pans and etc., a cooker, a toaster and microwave. Common room is also fine and has an unlimited supply of free jellies =) If you'd ask me to specificly find any downsides I'd probably say that only two minor ones - bathroom is located on another floor and you need to get through the kitchen to get there and walls are quite thin and you'll hear other people sometimes. It wasn't any problem for us, but maybe it's still good to know. At last, commuting around Dublin from Weslei's place is easy - you'll have two buses and a Commuter station, which has trains every hour or so.
GeorgyNovember 2016Great location easy access to bus. Large bedroom and well received
SebastienNovember 2016ha sido unos días muy buenos en casa de WESLEI. Lo mejor de todo el anfitrión ,Weslei fue siempre muy amable y resolutivo en todo ayudando en todas las circunstancias .Hasta nos guardo las maletas unas horas cuado habíamos hecho el check out mientras visitábamos la ciudad y nos dio vairos consejos e ideas para visitar la ciudad Muy recomendable

SamanthaOctober 2016The place was clean, and was reasonably proximate to the city centre, however the price didn't seem justified as the neighborhood seemed a bit rougher than the last place we stayed in Tallaght.

OliverNovember 2016Beautiful house and clean, like description. Eduardo and Patricia are great hosts. The house is a 15 minute walk to the city centre, and next to the stadium, ideal to go see hurling or gaelic football. The area is quiet and perfect. 100% recommended.
NilOctober 2016La casa está muy bien situada, cercana al centro y en un barrio tranquilo. Es una casa perfecta para pasar un par de días en Dublín. El colchón es de muelles y para una estancia larga podría llegar a ser algo incomodo. Eduardo estuvo muy atento de que llegáramos bien y su madre nos estuvo esperando para recibirnos. Una estancia muy agradable y recomendable!
RaulDecember 2016It was the perfect accomodation for my trip. Unfortunately I did not meet the host cause I stayed just one night but I found everything I needed. Truly recommended!
ericaFebruary 2017Lovely welcoming host and a clean and tidy room. There's a train station 5 minutes away but unfortunately it's more of a 45 minute walk to the city centre.
AmyJanuary 2017My girlfiend and I were left stranded in Dublin last minute;however, Eduardo was very responsive and came to our rescue. He ensured the property was clean with plenty of fruit, tea, coffee and a warm welcoming smile on arrival. The property is a 25 minute walk to temple bar with many public transport options if necessary. Would highly recommend Eduardo and his property! It was a friendly and affordable break from the usually expensive Dublin.

KentSeptember 2016Oh Yes - This is a nice place to stay. I was made welcome and comfortable. Kristian even came outside to make sure I found the house. It is located near local shops and town is a 10 -15 minute walk away. The room I had is big and the double bed comfortable. Provided were towels, tea, coffee, bottled water and cereal. Nice modern fancy shower as well with soap + shampoo. As true and proud Dubliners, Kristian will tell you where to go and give you maps as well as tourist information. Though on a road, it is quiet. Surely book it again if I can. My five nights were well spent here.

The greatest advantage of Lenis place is the location which allowed us to only use the bus once during our 4 days visit. The room itself is a normal apartment room, clean and with the basic necessities. I would recommend the place given the price and the location.
AlexandruJanuary 2017The location is very good, only 600 to Connely Station and 1 km to O'Connel Street and Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, all the big supermarkets. It's quiet and safe. It's not cheap to book hotels in Dublin. So the price is reasonable. Thank you Lenis!

Martin communicated well before our arrival, and was flexible on our check in time which was appreciated as we were on an early morning flight. The studio is compact but the good design ensures there is enough space for everything. The location is great, very central with only a 5 min walk to the top end of O'Connell Street. This does mean there is some noise out of the window but that is what you expect when staying so central. There were generous sized bottles of toiletries. We were a little disappointed by the freshness of the decoration, the ad says "freshly renovated" and I was expecting fresh paintwork and flooring but there were marks on the walls that suggested the paintwork had not been that recently refreshed. On arrival there were scented candles and a reed diffuser which made the place smell lovely and I though was a nice touch. However we later realised this may have been to mask the smell of smoke. Unfortunately the studio and bathroom both strongly smell of stale smoke. One other minor thing, the shower head was taped together with gaffa tape. A small detail but it did look a little scruffy. Next time we would probably shell out a bit more cash and stay in a hotel.
EvaJuly 2015Dorothy was a great host. We had a really late flight into Dublin and she came and met us just after midnight which was very helpful. The apartment was compact but perfect for what we needed. Dorothy even let us check out late in the afternoon which meant we could leave our bags there while we explored that day.
EliseOctober 2016Dorothy's apartment is a lovely little place stocked with all the necessities. It's a convenient location, very close to downtown. Check-in was easy. The only downside is that the neighborhood itself is mildly seedy, but not so much to really be concerned. I would definitely stay again.
NicholasAugust 2016We had a very good experience at Martins and Dorothy... We highly recommended them :-) :-) :-) thank you ...
EricJuly 2015Such a great place and a perfect location- only a short walk to the heart of Dublin. Martin and Dorothy always prompt to answer any questions. Highly recommend their studio apartment!!
KevinJuly 2015Though maybe could be considered small for some, this studio was the perfect size for us as a traveling couple! Fine neighborhood - we loved the park/bird sanctuary within a 20 second walk out the door! We felt safe within the community. The only gripe I had would have would be the shower and lack of water pressure, which I feel would be common. We had a great time and really appreciate Martin and Dorothy for letting us stay. I wish we could have met them in person!!
PrestonMarch 2016- we did not meet Dorothy personally but communication was easy and friendly - flexible check in, a friend of her was in the apartment and showed us everything - very nice, comfortable and clean apartment in walking distance to the city centre (15 min) - direct connection to the airport (bus no. 16)
AlexanderJuly 2016Dorothy responded quickly to emails, and when we had a minor mix-up, she got it sorted out right away. She also provided restaurant recommendations that we really enjoyed. We didn't meet her in person, but she seemed very nice over the phone and text. The flat is just as described in the listing.

Lone Star College System is offering Basic ESL classes at several locations including LSCS - Tomball. These classes are available at no cost on a first come, first serve basis.
The Assessment & Registration time for LSCS Tomball is:
Next time you're in the library drop into our meeting room, Room L 129, and enjoy the paintings of Linnie Baird. Born in Alabama, Baird finally got to Texas in her early twenties and has been delighted to be here ever since. You'll be amazed to learn she's been painting for only seven years, having taken up a family painting tradition only after her artist father died. She paints in oils and pen and ink, with a distinctly Texas style. She's equally at home with painting architecture, landscape ( in both Texas and Colorado), and figures.
Congratulations to Tomball Library Children's Garden Club members Evan K., Rosabella C., Riley K. and Sarina C. for completing all the requirements necessary to earn their Soil and Water Certificates. The girls along with the rest of the garden club, learned about soil properties, composting and the water cycle this semester as well as planting and caring for a garden. In addition, to meet the service project requirements, the group collected can goods to donate which were donated to a local food bank. Garden Club Meetings will begin again every 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month in March.

I'll be doing another update after Crafty Bastards as well, but as you probably know, since my work is one of a kind, better snag one quick if you fall in love!

Happy New Year and 'so long' old studio!
a clean studio day back in 2014 |
A very happy new year to all of you! I am so extremely thankful to everyone who has been so supportive and positive about my cotton monster-ing endevors in 2015, and the 10+ years previously! The shop was pretty much cleaned out by kind folks over the holidays....I feel like the luckiest lady in the land of polyfill! I was fortunate enough to spend the last seven and half years of that monstering in a tiny attic studio in a magical stone mill house built in 1847. I have come to love this house as a family member, so it is with a heavy heart and much procrastination that I have started packing up the studio (and the rest of my life) for a move across town.
New beginnings are extremely exciting, and I'm looking forward to figuring out new ways of organizing and making a new colorful homey-home for the Cotton Monsters, but this ol' room has so many layers, so many memories, and soooo much clothing/fabric that the packing part has been a challenge to say the least. Since moving boxes and tupperware bins are not so pretty, here are a few studio shots from the past few years. The shop will remain quite empty until I have time to set up the new space and get back to sewing in February. If you are interested, please follow along with me on instagram @cottonmonsterjen where I post updates much more frequently then on this old blog!
A very happy 2016 to all, cheers to new beginnings and more crazy eyeballs!

Assassination Research Paper Creating a Works Cited Page
What Are We Doing and Why? Content Standard: Writing Strategies 1.7 – Use appropriate conventions for documentation in the text, notes, and bibliographies by adhering to those in style manuals (e.g., Modern Language Association Handbook). ESLR: Reflective Communicator – Think, read, write, listen, speak well Objective: After taking notes on proper MLA formatting, you will complete create a properly formatted Works Cited page for your research paper, showing that you can use these conventions in your own writing.
Remember Your Task Task: Write a research paper in which you explain the political situation leading up to the assassination, the motivation for the assassination, the nature of the conspiracy involved with the assassination, a description of the assassination itself, and the political aftermath after the assassination of the political figure.
Your Outline This is a longer essay than you are used to: Seven (7) Paragraphs Introduction Five (5) Body Paragraphs Conclusion Paragraph Then there is one more part: a Works Cited page. This will go at the end of your essay.
Review of MLA Formatting for the Entire Essay All text (letters, words, sentences, etc.) should be in 12pt. Times New Roman font. All text should be double-spaced. There should be one-inch margins around the entire page. There should be no extra bolding, underlining, italicizing or changing of fonts. Italicizing titles of books is an exception to this rule because it would not be considered extra. I showed you how to do ALL of these things in the first week of the school year (and you should have been doing them all year!). If you have forgotten, be sure to have someone show you.
Review of MLA Formatting for the Entire Essay Your paper should have a header with your name and the page number (this should be on each page of the essay). There should also be a heading on the first page that is left-justified (def: lined up on the left), double-spaced, and includes: Your name Course Name (English 10 Honors) Your teacher's name The date in Day Month Year format (11 April 2012)
Reminder: What Your Heading Should Look Like
How to Do the Header For Word 2003: On the "View" menu, click "Header or Footer" to open the header area. Make sure your header is right- justified (def: lined up on the right). Using the "Header and Footer" toolbar, click the "Insert Page Number" button. Make sure the cursor (def: blinking line that shows where to type) is in front of the number. Type your last name and one space. Click "Close" on the "Header and Footer" toolbar to return to your essay.
How to Do the Header For Word 2007: Click "Insert" at the top of the page. Hover the mouse over "Page Number," and then "Top of Page." Select "Plain Number 3." Make sure the cursor is in front of the number, and then type your last name and one space. Close the header using the big red "X" in the top bar.
MLA for In-Text Citations Participation Point Alert! Do you remember your mantra? Transition—Quotation—Citation Participation Point Alert! Do you remember what this refers to in your research paper? Whether you are using exact quotations or paraphrasing from the sources (Hint: These are your evidence sentences in your Body Paragraphs), you must use proper MLA style. Transition: Lead your reader into the quotation by transitioning from your topic sentence. Quotation: Choose the quotation that supports your topic sentence and your thesis. Place this in "quotation marks," but hold off on the period for now. Citation: Place the author of the source's last name in parentheses (Author). If there is no author listed, list the title of the article.
More Info on In-Text Citations If you've mentioned the author's name in the text like this: In his article "Mahatma Gandhi: A Life," Mark Tannen states, "ortgjgsp rofrmgsodgdg." Then you don't need a parenthetical citation at the end (unless you're referencing a printed text, in which case you'd include the page number—just the number, no "p."). If you've introduced the quote without mentioning the author, then you will need to include the author's name (last name only) in parentheses at the end of the sentence in which the quote can be found.
That's a lot of work! And there's more? Why do I have to do all this? If you listed an author's name or the title of an article anywhere in your paper, then your reader is going to wonder where you found this information. The MLA Works Cited page tells your reader where to find the information that you quote (or paraphrase) in the research paper. Adding a Works Cited page makes your research paper more credible. When you are in college, a Works Cited page will be required in order to substantiate (def: prove) that you are not plagiarizing someone else's work.
MLA Format for Your Works Cited Page To Create A Works Cited Page: After the end of the text of your essay, create a page break (def: hit "Enter" until you get to a new page). Keeping with MLA format (described earlier in this PPT), type the words Works Cited at the top of the page and center them. (Remember – no extra bolding or underlining!) List each required piece of information for each source in the correct order (the next slide will show you how to do this). Each one of these is referred to as an "entry." Alphabetize your sources by the author's last name. If no author is listed, use the first word in the title of the article that is not an article (i.e., "A," "An," or "The") Use a hanging indent for the second and subsequent (def: each additional) lines in each entry. Make sure to follow the punctuation in the example EXACTLY.
How to Do a Hanging Indent Highlight the text that you want to have a hanging indent. (In this case, your Works Cited entries.) For Word 2003, select "Format," and then "Paragraph." For Word 2007, click on the small arrow in the bottom of the "Paragraph" box. In the Paragraph window that appears, look for the "Indentation" section. Use the drop- down menu under "Special" to select "Hanging," make sure the drop-down menu under "By" says 0.5", and click "OK."
Order of Information for Each Source Entry A Nonperiodical (def: not released on a regular schedule) Publication (Website) Name of Author Title of Article Title of Overall Website (italicized) Version or Edition Publisher or Sponsor (if not available, write N.p.) Date of Publication (Day Month Year; if not available use n.d.) Publication of Medium (Web) Date of Access (Day Month Year)
What does an "entry" look like? Here are two examples: Green, Joseph. "The Kennedy Presidency." The Atlantic.com. Atlantic Monthly Group, Sept. 2007. Web. 13 March 2012. "John F. Kennedy Assassination." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., 7 March 2011. Web. 7 March 2011. Notice: If no author is listed, just leave it out. Do not alphabetize by "unknown." The period is used to show the end of a piece of information.
Creating Entries for Other Sources If you need to cite sources other than a nonperiodical publication (website), refer to Purdue University's OWL (Online Writing Lab) it is the most accurate and easily understandable MLA site out there. For electronic (online) sources like EBSCO: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ Find a video or interview you'd like to reference? Check out the OWL's page on other common sources: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/09/

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p2b #tlot #tcot Protesters against cuts occupy Birmingham Council House http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-21328321 Anti-cuts protesters occupied a balcony at Birmingham Council House earlier. About 20 people from the Birmingham Against the Cuts group unfurled banners as councillors prepared to discuss budget proposals for the year.
