ReplyDeleteRepliesPic 1: Yes, sometimes if jelak liao spaghetti cooked in cream sauce or tomato bolognaise sauce, can try soupy style.. If all things fail that day or having a bad hair day, just whip up miso paste, mixed with hot water, boil spaghetti, throw in some vegetables or balls or crack an egg, and you have soupy spaghetti style, keke..
DeletePic 2: Simple fried bihun, I think you can whip up yourself also.. Fry with garlic or shallots, add your taugeh or cabbage, then meat or yue peng or yue dann or whatever, then throw in your favourite bihun, add soy sauce, pepper, if wana cheat, can mix some Tumix chicken granules for taste, stir stir stir, kautim lor.. That's the simplest thing I know.. My sister teach one.. Nothing else but soy sauce and pepper (and water)..
DeletePic 3: At first glance, I thought Jogoya timm.. Then when I read, ehhh, malu, lucky didnt terus type here, Barcelona wor.. Kelassss.. Never been there before, so I don't really know what is Pintxos, but from the picture, it certainly looks yummy.. I saw some mini burgers kinda thing, some fried stuffs, sausages..I think I can go many rounds if you bring me to this place.. can get fiat very fast.. Haha
DeletePic 4: This pic looks familiar.. You cooked this when you were abroad right? In fact, you only cooked this fried rice (and 1 more, I forgot), right? Haha..The dish is really presentable, and I guess the taste is good too, becoz I know you can't go wrong with fried rice.. The portion enuff meh for you and your frens? I can wallop the 3 portions of fried rice if you serve this to me.. kekeke...
DeleteWah! Ini LouizYee sure is demanding. Cannot let SK have nothing to write and tell him what to write also ke? Kesian la SK... He wants to rest also.
Write posts also need to perah the brain worr... It's not like SK so free and sit in front of computer writing blog post 24/7. Hehehe

I bodek SK because I like him. Like all of us do and better bodek so he'll be more inspired to blog mah! Must give motivation for people. Right? ;-)Agree! I also think I like sk leh.. he's smart and brainy looking (I'm not saying he's a nerd la)...hehe.
DeleteAgree! I also think I like sk leh.. he's smart and brainy looking (I'm not saying he's a nerd la)...hehe.
I always cooked spaghetti the traditional way. I must try to fry it some day. And also try the soup type. They must be heavenly!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI love fried bihun and vermicelli too. In fact kueh teow too. Love buffet style too. Lots of variety can really tempt me to eat more.
Deletewow, your fried rice looks yummy! Indeed very well presented. I usually fry rice when I don't much time to prepare food.
DeleteI've never thought of cooking spaghetti using "out-of-the-box" idea but I tried to stir-fry pasta with spicy tuna once.... and frankly, it was nice :D
Good afternoon! I love all the foodie pictures above, so appetizing and tempting! .... maybe it's almost lunch time XD
ReplyDeleteI like your homecooked fried rice the most! I'm a rice barrel, not really into noodles but beehoon is exceptional.
Ah Hua has same taste buds like Ah Boy, kekeke~RepliesAre you sure you fried the rice? The presentation is like restaurant standard. Was the meal taken outside and then claimed as your cooking? :p
DeleteOk la, I believe Ah Boy because I remember he can easily transform a cup noodle into 5-star-restaurant-noodle-soup-with-ham-and-vege. He's such a genius!
Good morning AH Boy and all.
LOL...you also have "back up " folder ah.. Me too...sampai fatt moe jor lor. Too many then feeling lazier to write
Spaghetti in Wafu Soup and vegetables
- is it some where in Kelana Jaya. I remembered a few years ago there was one shop selling something like this in kelana jaya there.
Interesting way of cooking la. But after tasting it, i find that the noodle not "yup mei".The noodle taste bland but the soup got taste of saltiness la. . Kinda something missing like that
Fried Bihun
wei the above one got so BIG prawns wor...no longer simple leh. Yea sometimes i like those economy fried bihun. That one eat with cili jeruk or sambal belacan super nice leh
Never heard of this till i read it in your blog. Hmm...nice way of presenting the food. at least looks clean and not messy.
wah lau eh....Ah Boy can cook. I recall about 4-5 years ago you posted a photo of yourself cooking in the kitchen...something green. Forgotten jor what was that. That time i was not familiar here yet so i thought...wah another daddy cooking blog ka :pThat spaghetti photo... reminds me of Pasta Zanmai lah... or any of the sister chains that serve fusion Japanese spaghetti style dishes. :P
Must go makan there again one day. Lama already tarak pigi...Good afternoon SK!
Din't surf the net yesterday so it's time to catch up with you all now, hehe.
So how's your Japan trip? Was expecting to see your Japan travelogue la but end up, it's a food post! But it's fine, I love to read food post as well, hehe!The first one, spaghetti soup, very interesting! I hardly see people cook spaghetti with soup one, the wet style (or may be it was me who is jakun la :P), so this one really attracts my attention! And with those little touch up and editing that you made, that bowl of spaghetti soup looks really appetizing.
ReplyDeleteRepliesBee hoon, my favorite noddles! It's less oily so it's healthier! I prefer dry style than soup ones, so Singapore fried beehoon, teow chew fried beehoon and etc are those I'll order, anything 'fried' la! And don't you agree prawn go so well with beehoon? ;)
DeleteOh, you've been to Barcelona too? I was there in 2008, a year earlier than you, hehe! But I don't really enjoy that trip very much, I mean the scenery (especially that magnificent Sagrada Familia) is nice and beautiful but the food.... hmm, not to my liking, and not many shopping as well, hoho!
DeleteAnd OMG the last photo, you cooked those fried rice yourself? Very interesting, looks very professional lo! Some more scoop those rice in a bowl first, haha xD
Ya la, if one seldom get into the kitchen doesn't mean he cannot cook at all. Some people just being lazy, or shall I say, they prefer to eat someone else's cooking rather than cook it themselves, hehe!
Long ago everyone knew that we could not access the blogspot from China no matter how we tried. Now it has changed and I could just log into via mobile phones and iPad easily. When I could not reads blogs recently in shanghai and xian, I felt something missing in my life. I am not sure whether this connection is only valid in Chengdu??
I have tried the Sichuan spicy hot pot and it caused me nose block last night during my sleep with added mild gum aches. That was a fiery flaming meal that heated up my torso.
I love to eat fusion meals like what you have posted. Times have changed and chefs are trying hard to create new exotic dishes to catch our fancy. You are the second person who says that missed the food in Barcelona. That guy told me the food in Spain was the best in Europe! I was amazed.- Replies
#1 Photo:
I think I know this place, Pasta Zanmai. I love to had their noodles and rice platter with Fusion style. Alot of people queueing up when I was at Sunway's outlet. That was my first visit. After that, I've been there again. All together only twice. :P
Spaghetti is more healthier than yellow noodles. Even myself seldom take unless for noodles like Hokkien Mee, Mee Mamak and Mee Rebus - takkan I would order for BeeHoon or KeowTeow right? Back at home, hubby used Spaghetti in fried noodle. It taste yummy too. Once a while he will prepared it during the weekend.#2 Photo:
Besides Kewo Teow, I love BeeHoon or called it in proper vermicelli. It is simply delicious with only a few ingredients. My mom once told that, in order to fried a good plate of BeeHoon, must get better quality one. Or else it will easily break during the cooking process. Somehow, I still need to brush up my skill to fried them. Most of the time, my BeeHoon easily got chopped...not so nice one. I love to have "Xing Zao Mai Fun" or some will called Singaporean Fried BeeHoon. Malay's fried beehoon I like it too...I think they put in the tomato puree. So some of warong here selling a bungkus for RM1 only.#3 Photo:
SK been to Barcelona lor...good for you. Different places have different kind of ways to present the food to the customer right? You can always gather a bunch of friends to your house, makes some food, snack and etc. All you can do is to be creative in skewing all the fishballs together, cocktails sausages slice into hald and pin it together and make it into a love shape. Make many layers of sandwich, stack up and pin it with skewers and called it your homemade club sandwich. Hehehe... Even prawns, bell peppers, onions, pineapple all can be skew it and ready to be grill...wow sounds best nya. I think I better come over your house to help you to prepare.#4 photo:
Dun play play, SK can really cook very well. That fried rice looks very cute to me. Maybe it's the way you present it. Nice lar, I'm sure those who taste it also feel the warmest cooking from you, SK. The fried rice is vene more appertizing than the previous post you combine all the veges, ebikko with white rice. I prefer this alot.Sorry lar, foodie photos always make me to comment banyak...Banyak lagi pun boleh... I better control abit, nanti I kat sini shiok sendiri aje.
I was actually tempted by all these four food pictures. I like the first one the most, It is from Pasta Zanmai, this place reminded me of only happy moment last year in December. First time, I met Ah Boy, Anay, Kathy and SP, second time met Lina. Thank you once again for the meet up.
I love Pasta Zanmai food. Since then, I haven't got second chance to go there.
Besides, I must also praise you for the home cook fried rice. They were so presentable . You must have spent lots of effort to make them so beautiful. I am sure it tasted good too.

Martin und Lunette sind wirklich überaus liebenswerte Gastgeber und stehen für alle Fragen rund um Barbados, Strände, Restaurants, Freizeitaktivitäten usw. zur Verfügung und helfen jederzeit gerne. Wer seine Ruhe haben möchte, findet diese natürlich ebenso. Die Villa selbst ist traumhaft, sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einem tollen Außenbereich mit überdachter Veranda und einem fantastischen Blick aufs Meer. Den lokalen Strand erreicht man in circa 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Verschiedene Restaurants befinden sich in der Nähe. Ein Mietwagen ist aber definitiv empfehlenswert, gleichwohl die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel (insbesondere die weißen Kleinbusse ;)) wirklich gut funktionieren. Short summary in English: Martin and Lunette are really lovable hosts, always there if you need assistance. We enjoyed our stay there a lot and would definetly recommend it to out friends. The villa is just great, a lovely place to be with great views. Local beach is 10min to go by feet, restaurants are near as well. Rental car recommended (you would just miss so much things on Barbados if you don't have one).
Marc2017-03-01T00:00:00ZTheir villa is marvellous and resembles the homely, beachy, Barbados vibes that we were looking for. For us the location was perfect, it was set aside from the main road amongst greenery and tropical trees, but a really short walk to a beautiful beach with many beach bars and restaurants near by. It is also very simple to get to holetown from there. Lynnette and Martin were very welcoming and helpful in any way they could. Breakfast was included and always outside by the pool with the wonderful view of the sea. They even provided a different 'taste of the Caribbean' every morning! The rooms are clean and comfortable with a nice large shower. Very highly recommended.
Jenny2017-01-02T00:00:00ZThis villa is in the perfect location....ten minute walk to a beautiful beach and restaurants, less than an hours walk to Holetown. Martin and Lynette are such wonderful hosts! They offer helpful suggestions and ideas for touring and a breakfast to start the day. We highly recommend this villa for a wonderful holiday.
Linda2017-03-06T00:00:00ZI never actually met Barbara, i met the the long term renters Martin and Lynette. They were great, however did not allow for my friends to hang out in the common shared areas. On the first day i arrived they came with me to the place and after going to beach and coming back, their stuff was nicely packed up and few minutes later were asked to leave. It was unfortunately, that i paid to stay somewhere and could not have my friends who were attending school in Barbados hangout during appropriate hours. After that night i did not spend much time at the beautiful home, only to sleep. I would recommend this rental for older couples who are going strictly as tourist, as I was not able to enjoy the space.
Nambogga 2016-12-08T00:00:00ZBlue Marine is a lovely, comfortable house with good pool, comfortable veranda and good view. It is in a quiet position but not far from lots of amenities. However it is better to have a car as it is near the top of a long hill. It is fairly centrally situated so easy for seeing all parts of the island. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and attractive and the breakfast is good.
Mary2017-01-20T00:00:00ZThis place is fantastic! Period A gem of a place on a beautiful island in the carribean The accomodation is gorgeous in a stunning quiet position ! The hosts martin and lynette were outstanding in offering a super warm welcome and unbelievably helpful all of the time! Thanks for being two lovely people, for the conversation, the coffee and the rum punch!! But mostly thanks for your exceptional hospitality! A great stay in your gorgeous villa! Cheers
Graeme2017-02-12T00:00:00ZThe communication before arrival was very prompt and detailed. The situation of the villa is exactly as described, only a couple of minutes' drive from Holetown, located in a quiet neighborhood. We stayed here nine nights and started each morning on the villa's terrace enjoying the wonderful view onto palm trees and the deep blue ocean. Martin and Lynnette provided us generously with beach towels and were very helpful when we tried to make reservations for our catamaran tours and to visit the Foursquare rum distillery. Thank you very much for your help and Martin's delicious Rum Punch!
Markus2016-12-01T00:00:00ZVilla Marine on Mount Standfast in Holetown Barbados is a very beautiful white Island Villa with a wonderful pool and a Million Dollar view down to the West Coast Waves of Barbados. The location is perfect as one of the best and most attractive beaches -Alice Beach is just 5 Minutes walking distance away. There are hip restaurants and nightlife just about 10 Minutes drive away but most of all we enjoyed the company of our hosts which made our vacation a real great time. A huge thank you to them. We can highly recommend Villa Marine on Mount Stanford Martine and Louis-Philippe de Naurois

We had an amazing time in Barbados, from the moment we arrived. The cottage is situated in the perfect location with an open view towards the Caribbean Sea. I think that it's very unique in Barbados to have this amazing view, without hotels or other villas blocking the view. The veranda was great to have breakfast after a morning swim in the sea just in front of the cottage. In the afternoon we watched the sunset over the sea. Just across from the cottage there is local bar with a nice ambient, were we had a great time on the Sunday night karaoke. Supermarket and beach bars also nearby. Smitty, Olivia's brother took good care of us, with a good mood and smile every day. Olivia was just one mail or phone call away. She replied very fast on my mails. I would definitely recommend this place. I would even say that it is the best choice on the island. Best, Heidi
Heidi2013-01-11T00:00:00ZOur second stay at Olivia's cottage was GREAT. The view is fantastic. Olivia is fast to respond to issues and she is very gracious. The neighborhood is surrounded by what feels like your own family , which makes you feel safe. We rented a car as we like the freedom but buses do run frequently . I LOVE the barrel style too load washer and dryer!! Laundry comes out clean and fresh. Only suggestions would be to have some type of speaker plug in system to play the iPad or iPhone for music( I forgot my Beats Pill) and maybe a guest diary so that we can share gems with future guests like the best reataraunts,( The Cliff hands down) location of the fish market, closest best rum punch(Mullins beach bar) ect. (URL HIDDEN) suggestions by word of mouth are the best! I love all the information literature that is available since things change from year to year. I highly recommend Olivia's cottage and would stay again.
Katrina2015-12-28T00:00:00ZWhat a magnificent time we had! This house is in the best location in Barbados and fully equipped. It is a few minutes drive from the best restaurants and most elegant shops. The best is the view from the balcony and being right on the beach. Literally you step out of the house, head down a few steps and you are at a pristine beach with crystal clear waters. It is totally private but at the same time you walk down the beach and you find lovely resorts, and restaurants. The perfect combination! Olivia was so kind to call to see how we were and her brother who lives across the street was so helpful with recommendations and showing us around the house. I will return again for sure as it is the perfect beach house for me.
Ali2014-11-30T00:00:00ZThe cottage is just like the photos, very accurate listing. The walkway beside the cottage is used regularly by locals and tourists so be aware of this. Most passerby's are quiet, and friendly. To the owners credit we were instructed of ongoing construction next to the cottage on the side with the bedrooms before booking. You can't know how loud it is until you go, currently it is loud and starts some days at 7:30am. We found ourselves leaving more often during the day due to the noise. It will be ongoing for some months, so maybe best to stay after it's done if you want quiet. Once complete the cottage will between two luxury villas. Sadly the beach had significant erosion our last day due to rough seas, hopefully the beach will be back soon. The beach overall is great, same as Fairmont and Glitter bay. The home had all of the items needed to cook some fresh local fish. Sitting outside on the deck having lunch was a treat looking out to the caribbean sea. There is a small convenience walk up store "yellow/orange in colour" just south next to villa Alang Alang with cold drinks and snacks, try and support the local small business' there is a cute dog named blacky who loves pets. Overall it was a fantastic visit to Barbados, and we always look forward to coming back. The cottage was cheerful and so lovely to be right above the beach listening to the waves crashing in.
MARIE2016-03-20T00:00:00ZOlivia's house is incredible! It is right on the water, away from resorts, and the view is wonderful! She and her family were also very communicative and available during our stay. The beds are nice, the air conditioning works, and we just loved our stay! If I ever make it back to Barbados I will look for this house first :)
Katie2016-11-27T00:00:00ZOlivia, herself, does not live on the island, but was there for us 100%. She was so attentive to all our needs. Thanks, Olivia! The place is just perfect. We were 4 and a baby. I have been going to Barbados since I was little and I can honestly say I will stay no where else from now on. Miss it already.
Kyle2014-03-23T00:00:00ZOlivia's place is awesome. The overall stay was amazing, peaceful, lovely clear blue water with coral reefs and fish right in front of the house, turtles about a 5 minute swim away and some of the most spectacular sunsets from the balcony. Simple stunning.
Jordan2016-06-24T00:00:00ZAs the others reviews have said this place is a dream! The location is amazing, being right on the beach, and on one of the best beaches in Barbados. The beach directly below the cottage is like your own private area. You can snorkel meters from the cottage and see the beautiful fish and turtles. This is the beach where the catamarans bring tourists to swim with the turtles! One of the bedroom opens up to the balcony, we used open the doors early morning to listen to the waves. Just idylic! There are some great small beach cafe/bar 5/10minutes walk up the beach from the cottage great for having a spot of lunch. You can also hire jet skis and other watersports activities here too. Getting around the island from the cottage was very easy, you can hop on the frequent buses that pass the cottage into Holetown and Bridgetown. Holetown is only 10mins away with a large reasonably priced supermarket. There is a little grocery store meters away from the cottage which is great for stocking up on basics. Also, Olivia brother Smitty was just great and was around whenever we needed anything, be it advice on activities or recommending places to eat, or assistance with anything in the home. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 6 day stay at Orange Walk. The apartment is part of a residential area called Sugar Hill which is rather plush and has a clubhouse with pool, gym and a restaurant which we made full use of. It's a drive away from the beech and most of the main restaurants, so I really recommend renting a car as taxis seemed to be a bit difficult in Barbados in general. Inside the apartment we had good facilities, bathroom, large bed, TV and a small kitchenette to fix up a quick breakfast. The real jewel of the apartment is the private pool and a large outdoor area with sun loungers and beautiful garden furniture. The gardens surrounding are luscious. Our hosts, Gilly and Humphrey are a delightful couple and invited us for a drink on their balcony one night to watch the sunset (which we sadly were too late for, but the company was splendid!) I would recommend Orange Walk studio for a relaxing holiday in barbados
SHARON2016-01-14T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I very much enjoyed our six night stay at Orange Walk Studio. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owners Gilly & Humphre who live in the house to which the studio is attached. They were very generous and took the time to show us around the property and even invited us upstairs for a drink one evening. The studio is located downstairs and has its own separate entrance to the main house. It was charming, very clean and equipped with fan and air con. It also has some kitchenette type facilities which was handy as we had breakfast there each morning. The outside pool area is where its at though. It is as per the pictures in the listing and we had exclusive use of the entire downstairs area during our stay. There is a house keeper who a passes by in the mornings (and tidies the studio) but apart from this we were left uninterrupted. As a side note the Wifi works outside which we loved. We were happy to have rented a car as the restaurant at Sugar Hill was closed during our stay (it reopened the day we left!). Luckily there is a town 10 minutes drive away (Holetown) which has many restaurants and shops so this was not an issue. We made the most of the facilities at Sugar Hill particularly the gym and the tennis courts (it has night lights) as well as the infinity pool. These facilities were a 5 minute walk from the studio and complimentary for our stay as we were given member passes (I believe there is a charge for renting out tennis rackets but we brought our own). In short, I would highly recommend Orange Studio especially for anyone looking for a more private alternative to a hotel in Barbados.
Isabelle2015-10-12T00:00:00ZOur hosts and owners made us feel extremely welcome. The apartment was very comfortable and the Sugar Hill development was lovely.

Caroline and Jo are just great. We like them very much, you can not have better hosts. So hospitable and solicitous. The Apartment is cozy and clean and just 5 Min. away from the beach. You can reach the city Holetown in only 5Min. by bus. The bus Station is also very close. We really enjoyed our stying at Carolines and Jo´s Apartment. There were always there for us if we needed anything. They have not only picked us up from the port but also brough us to the airport, quite naturally. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Katja2016-02-20T00:00:00ZClose to everything you'll need! Beach, restaurants, bars, supermarkeds etc. The apartment hold a great kitchen, big bathroom, big livingroom with a great porch and a lovely bedroom with AC! Towels, starterpack with; toast, eggs,milk, cheese and tea when arriving, free WiFi, yeah everything that you NEED on a vacation. Caroline and Joe are so sweet and helpfull with everything! Thanks again for having us! Renee and Anna/ Norway
Renee2017-02-07T00:00:00ZCaroline and Joe are the perfect hosts , Caroline even drove down to the airport to meet us and guide us back in our hire car , which , as it was dark , was most appreciated . The apartment has everything you need and is a good base to explore the island of Barbados . It's a 10 minute walk to the beach and Holetown with it's bars , restaurant and shops is a 10 minute drive . Joe and Caroline cooked us a lovely Bajan curry one evening and introduced us to an interesting local restaurant for delicious home cooked spiced chicken and pork with much rum consumed . Thank you both very much we had a great time .
Gavin2016-12-12T00:00:00ZCaroline and Joe are the absolute best! They took care of everything for us and even invited us over for a delicious dinner one evening. Joe and Caroline made sure we knew everything about the island, picked us up from the airport, arranged our car rental, and even drove us to the hot spots in town so that we could go out & have a good time without worrying about driving. Their kindness and hospitality will always be fondly remembered. I highly recommend visiting Barbados and staying with Caroline and Joe. And oh yeah, they also took us to pick up groceries on the first day!!
Mike2016-03-14T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had such a lovely time at Caroline's place! Caroline picked us up at the airport, which was a lovely touch, and on the way to her place told us all about what to do and see on the island. She also provided us with eggs/cheese/bread/butter/juice/etc for breakfast which was really great for us! The beach is an easy 6-7 minute walk away and JuJu's beach bar is really fun at night, which is right off the entry way to the beach ;) This is a great place to stay in the area and if we're lucky enough to come back to Barbados we will definitely be staying here again!!
Mary2017-01-04T00:00:00ZCaroline and Joe were great hosts, welcoming and kind. They have picked us up from the airport at no cost which was nice of them to do. They have prepared a starter pack (juice, eggs, cheese, milk, coffee and bread) so we have food for the morning. The apartment was clean, close to the beach (5 min walk) and really quiet. Just what we needed. We would recommend this to any of our close friends and family.
Samuel & Jas2016-12-22T00:00:00ZThis cozy apartment is in a quiet residential area with easy access to public transportation and beautiful Alleyne Beach is a perfect location to stay in Barbados. Our hosts Joe and Caroline picked us up at the airport when we arrived which we so appreciated. We loved our time in Barbados and enjoyed our AirBnb experience!
Janine2017-02-25T00:00:00ZCaroline and Joe are top notch hosts. They truly take hosting to the next level. They were friendly, courteous and very helpful. They went out of their way to pick us up at the airport, drop us off at Oistin (fish fry) and then dropped us off at the airport very early in the morning due to our taxi not showing up. (So sorry for the trouble we caused them.) The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. The location was literally 5 minutes to an immaculate beach, public transportation and bars/restaurants. We couldn't have been happier with our stay! We highly recommend Caroline & Joe's place to anyone visiting Barbados. You won't regret it!

After booking a spontaneous trip to Barbados, my three friends and I were worried about finding affordable, yet comfortable accommodations. Alex's place definitely fit the bill, and exceeded expectations. The place is located conveniently near Holetown, but just enough away from the action to provide a retreat from the hustle and bustle of all the tourists. We were a quick walk to the beach at Glitter Bay which turned out to be amongst our favorites we visited on the island. Upon our arrival, the lovely building manager (Lawson) was there to greet us and made sure we had everything we need to enjoy our getaway. The place was super clean, spacious (way bigger than it looks in pictures!), and had everything we needed (working A/C in all the rooms, board games, fast internet, comfortable beds, and lots of natural light). There was also a great selection of cookware, plates, utensils, etc. so we cooked the majority of our meals at the apartment. We didn't want to leave and will surely be back. GREAT place, great experience.
Jamilyn2017-02-07T00:00:00ZDelightful property. Great location on the upmarket West Coast. Hiring a car is advisable although public transport is very close. 5mins to beach and shops.We hope to go again.
John2017-01-30T00:00:00ZWe were very happy with accomodation. Spotlessly clean. Nice and quiet - an ideal base for exploring the Island !
Ronan2017-02-03T00:00:00ZLovely stay at Alex's place. Apartment was very tidy and well appointed. Both rooms have en-suites and living area is spacious with verandah running all along the back. Great location, just a short walk from the pristine West coast beaches and near to shops and bars in Holetown. Overall a stress free and relaxing Christmas break. Would def stay again!

I truly enjoyed this property. It was clean, bright, comfortable, and centrally located. The beach was in walking distance and it was gorgeous. The pictures were exact and the price was reasonable. I would stay there again. Thank you for providing a lovely place.
Ria2016-08-11T00:00:00ZThis was a home away from home. The welcome basket was not expected but much appreciated. Fresh fruits and cold beers in the fridge for free was a plus. The place is beautiful, nice short walk to the beach (1 block.) The sunset was amazing. It seems that this beach is central location for water sports cause everything was right there. Lots of restaurants close by. I would recommend to my friends and to anyone reading this. I am going back next year for Crop Over so save the dates lol.
Red2016-08-29T00:00:00ZWhat a perfect place! Liz, our hostess, communicated with us beautifully, arranged for airport transport, and greeted us with Champagne! She explained everything we needed to know about the place and the neighborhood. The house could not be better situated. The beach and fish market are just down the hill- literally a stone's throw away. The bus to anywhere on the island is right there too. Great Bajan food is at The Roti Den (highly recommended), Mr Vic, and Karibu, and fine dining at The Cliff are all to be had within a short walk. Oh, and there's Shannic Variety, the wonderful local rum shop, just up the hill. "Stone's Throw..." is a perfect place with a very special hostess.
George2017-02-18T00:00:00ZGreat location and price
Elizabeth2017-02-26T00:00:00ZThanks Elizabeth for being a great host. And responding so quickly to the refrigerator issue. We enjoyed your home, with 'big ups' to your location.
Tara2017-01-04T00:00:00ZElizabeth was a very good host,always quick to respond to questions and queries. If she is away, then Caroline and Tommy are at hand. The house is located 2 minutes from a lovely sandy bay with safe, clear sea to swim in. Free from sun beds and not much shade but these can be accessed 5 mins walk up the beach . Several restaurants and bars within 5 mins walk. Ranging from fine dining to local fresh prepared dishes at reasonable prices. A car isn't necessary if you are happy to use the local buses, which run up and down the west coast road every few minutes. The house is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and separate laundry room, which we found a bonus as we stayed for 4 weeks.

A great villa, idea for a couple. Central to all the good places in Holetown, which itself must be the best location in Barbados. The host was accurate with his description and very accommodating. We have no hesitation in recommending this place.
Lesa2017-01-02T00:00:00ZWe stayed 4 nights and everything was perfect. Naheed answered quickly to all the questions we had. We were welcome by Marcia. She is very friendly and explained us everything about the appartment and the area. It is located in a small and quiet street, close to everything. You can walk to the shops and the beach. We loved our stay!
Yves2017-01-24T00:00:00ZNaheed was very prompt in replying to any questions we had during and after the booking of this property. The property is as described and within short walks to the beach, grocery store, malls, chattel shops, restaurants and bus stops. The area is very quiet and it is nice to sit out on the veranda and enjoy all the greenery in the yard and watch the hummingbirds and other birds flit about in the trees. We even saw a monkey heading down the road one day.The beach club is a very nice option if you want loungers and a pool to swim in. The property manager, Tina was very pleasant and was always available and helpful if we had any questions or concerns. The airport transfers were included in the rental. This is a very nice extra! Housekeeping comes in once per week and cleans the apartment and changes the bedding. The place is very clean. This is a very nice property and we would not hesitate to st
Bonnie2016-11-20T00:00:00ZLovely, bright and clean apartment close to amenities. Access to the beach house is invaluable. Had a wonderful couple of weeks at the apartment. Naheed was a great host, responding to e-mails very promptly and ironing out issues quickly and smoothly. Thanks again Naheed
Mandy2016-12-11T00:00:00ZWe were met by Maria who showed us around (even though we were very late because of delayed flight) The place was better than we expected. Bright, clean and with everything that you could possibly need, including great wifi and new AC in the bedroom. The road was quiet. We watched monkeys play in the trees in the garden. The beach club was only 5 mins away and the supermarket 10mins walk. Communication with Naheed was excellent and the complimentary taxi to the airport was a great bonus.
Lynda2016-12-12T00:00:00ZWir fanden alles super...die Beschreibung ist sehr genau!
Ulrike2017-01-15T00:00:00ZThe perfect place to be. The apartment is wonderful and is equipped with everything you need. The furniture and design is lovely and it is by far the nicest place we have been to in Barbados. There's a supermarket close by and the beach is just a two minute walk away. Restaurants and bars are all in walking distance. The beach is one of the nicest on the entire island - you can see that boats from all other places take people here to snorkel and see turtles. The neighbourhood is very expensive and you will not be able to get another place this nice at such a price. Thanks for making this a perfect holiday.

Hello Pia and Don, thank you so very much for extending your lovely apartment!! The amenities worked out well and it was great having biscuits there to munch on. The upper apartment truly felt like home! The location was super convenient and Mullin's Beach (a short 2BDS bus ride away) was the best beach! Only one recommendation, to have a landline phone (for guests without cell phones) to use for local calls. Pia, your help with directions to St. James and later arranging transport to the airport was much appreciated. Your timely responses over email were very helpful and greatly appreciated. Don, thanks for letting me use your home line phone from downstairs on the first day. Please give this comfortable place a try! Oh, you should know that a taxi to the airport is expensive from this location. As Pia pointed out though, Andy is punctual and reliable. Will miss you Barbados. Cheers! Julia
Julia2016-08-11T00:00:00ZLoved Michele's place. Located in a nice neighborhood with a super short walk to the beach. Michele was quite accommodating and helpful.
juli2016-02-21T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay here! Very peaceful and quiet. Close walk to a very beautiful and mellow beach.
Warren2016-11-19T00:00:00ZEverything about this apartment was perfect. The location was safe and incredibly peaceful, a minute's walk from the beach. The apartment itself was a great size, very clean and had all the essential including everything needed to cook. Host, Don, greeted us at arrival, he was very lovely and ensured he was available if we needed anything - I recommend this apartment to anyone that wants a relaxing stay in Barbados in a beautiful area.
mayssam2016-05-26T00:00:00ZVisiting Barbados was an awesome experience. From the moment I met Don until the day I left he was very helpful in any and everything I needed. He made sure I knew where all the restaurants were, and even sent me numbers. He even went as far as allowing me to use his number as a call back number since I had a US number. The apartment was very clean, and cozy! Each time I returned to the apartment felt like I was coming home to my own place. The neighbors were all friendly and willing to help in any way needed. The bus stop was just a 5 minute walk, the beach was just a block up where the bus stop was located. I have no complaints and would recommend this Airbnb to anyone who visits.... The added bonus was the snacks and drinks in the fridge. I was very thirsty and needed a snack after my long flight and ride. Thanks again Don for everything and thank you Michelle and Pia!!!
Tomekia2016-06-20T00:00:00ZGeräumiges Apartment mit eigener Veranda mit Weitblick in ruhiger sicherer Lage. Wie beschrieben 5 Minuten Fußweg zur Küstenstraße runter, dort Busstop + beschaulicher Reedsbeach. Etwas weiter bei Millis Fischmarkt Bar und Katamarantour von go(URL HIDDEN) Ich mochte die ursprüngliche, ländliche Umgebung, wenn auch abgelegen ohne Einkaufsmöglichkeit. Hosts nicht vor Ort, aber Nachbar Don weiß Bescheid wenn man ihn denn findet. Für Waschmaschine Flüssigwaschmittel mitbringen, keine Kaffeemaschine vorhanden. Holetownfestival ist im Februar und auch Bridgetown und Speightstown sind gut mit den teils abenteuerlichen Bussen erreichbar.
Jutta2017-02-23T00:00:00ZGreat apartment in a quiet friendly neighbourhood. Clean, as presented in the photos, everything you need. Only a short walk to Reeds, Gibbs and Mullins beaches. Really beautiful area. Not much in the way of shops in walking distance but the yellow buses are a brilliant experience anyway! They're frequent and pick up / drop off only a few mins away from the apartment on the main road. It doesn't take long to pop into Holetown to pick up supplies :D Easy and prompt communications with Michelle and Pia re the apartment - including a last minute request for me to have a late check out which was really helpful. Don and his wife Faith downstairs were helpful and on hand too. As was Andy the taxi driver they booked for me on my arrival: knowledgable about the island and easy to get hold of too. All in all a great spot! Thanks!
Helen2017-03-01T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time staying at the apartment. The best beach on the West Coast is about 20 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride (Mullins). Buses come every few minutes from just down the road and you can get to Bridgetown, Oystins and other beaches really easily. There are a couple of well-priced restaurants nearby (De Outback and a local grill). Really great area and nice apartment!

We made our reservation at the very last minute (less than 24 hours before our arrival) but Steven was very very quick to respond to my request. We communicated via the Airbnb app (thumbs up to the app) and he arranged everything with the house manager to prep for our arrival and all was WONDERFUL!! The villa was just as it appears in the pictures and I was so pleased. We have stayed at that resort in the past and we would love to go back again. You do need a car to get around from that area (unless you are ok with walking about 2.5 miles to the beach-with no sidewalks). The resort has 2 pools (at least), tennis courts and a restaurant called Spago (Italian). We went to Spago the first night, great food with a wonderful staff. Back to the villa, it was very clean, well appointed, beach towels were in the closet and we went grocery shopping so we rarely ate out which really saved money. Also, there is a full washer/dryer if you need it. We did need anything but the property manager was always available if you need him. I have nothing but great things to say about this place and I would definetly return.
Tiff2015-11-24T00:00:00ZAmazing! Steven was really fast to reply to us and let me know about availability and we booked a couple of days later. Having never used Air Bnb before I felt perhaps even more safe because the person I had spoken with was very nice and helpful and it was so easy to book! In the week before we left Steven double checked all our details and flight information to give to the front/ security desk. We arrived quite late but there was always a security guard at the gate. He gave us our keys and welcomed us. Everyone working here was very friendly and helpful. We found our apartment and loved it straight away. Just like the photos, very sleek and elegant, the perfect place to relax after spending the day relaxing ;) Lovely big beds, comfy sofa and nice big balcony area which we loved. Overall, great host, great quiet relaxing area to stay in, lovely pools and grounds. Great price for a lovely condo. People always friendly. Great beach access included too. We had an amazing trip and will definitely be returning here! Thank you.
Holly2015-12-21T00:00:00ZThe facilities were excellent. Good dining good pools and very relaxed atmosphere. Only difficulty for us was time of arrival and actually finding the resort at 12:30 am. But the arrangements to get keys from security worked well. Staff all very helpful.
rick2016-11-27T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful and very clean. We wanted to stay longer!
Kaitlen2016-05-12T00:00:00ZSteven, superbe condo et place très tranquille. Une voiture est nécessaire. Superbe vacances. A y retourner sans faute :)) Steven, beautifull condo and very quiet. A car is necessairy. Vacancy A+++, i go back again it's sur :)))
Alex2016-07-24T00:00:00ZThis is our second year visiting sugar hill, last year we stayed at a different apartment in the same complex. Beautiful area, Stevens apartment was very nice as well. Just like the photos. Had a great visit here. The location is a little inconvenient if you don't rent a car ,but on the plus size the walk was great exercise.
Verna2015-04-19T00:00:00ZSteven Describe his condo very accurately. It's a excellent layout. And the people at sugar hill are a pleasure
AL2016-08-04T00:00:00ZSteven's condo is a great retreat if you're looking for some peace and quiet in Barbados. It was very relaxing - the condo was beautifully furnished with a wonderful view of one of the pools. The gym facilities were convenient and well-stocked and all the staff was very pleasant. I really appreciated both Steven and the property manager's prompt replies to any issues. The price was especially affordable, too. You will need a car though if you plan to explore the island. It is not within walking distance to anything. Overall though, I had a fabulous trip and would definitely stay there again.

Bryn and his mother Ruth were absolutely perfect as hosts, they were accessible, clear, reliable and so welcoming! Ruth even put some bread and cheese (my favourite!) and other goodies in the fridge for when we arrived. Bruce and I had the loveliest stay. We stayed in the 2 bedroom on the top left corner and it was gorgeous, tastefully furnished and everything was as pleasant as we could have expected. The location is incredible! You can walk to the boardwalk and eat at all the best West Coast restaurants, the neighbourhood is quiet and you've got Cafe Italia RIGHT up the road.......myummmm.....coffee.... Have recommended to my parents and friends and will definitely return.
Anne-Marie2014-10-20T00:00:00ZByrn and Ruth were very kind, attentative and thoughtful of guests' needs. Accommodations were very well appointed. I loved having access to the Beach House although it was a bit further walk than I anticipated. Shopping, groceries and a variety of restaurants are in the neighborhood. Excellent choice!
Kathy & Tracey2016-10-15T00:00:00ZWe had such an amazing stay at Pura Vida! Location was great and awesome outdoor area that we spent most nights at. Bryn made an appearance to make sure everything was going well as Ruth touched base from time to time! The neighbourhood was fairly quiet at night with shops very close to pick up drinks and essentials. The beach club which you have access too is great also with some pretty great beaches along that Boardwalk. We all loved our stay here! Definetly would recommend!
ash2016-05-01T00:00:00ZBryn's place is in a great location on the West Coast, and everything looked exactly as described. The patio was great, and far bigger than it appears from the outside. My friends and I had a great time and I'd highly recommend to anyone.
Jovan2015-09-23T00:00:00ZYou won't find a nicer place to stay - so convenient and reasonably priced and bryn is an outstanding host. can't wait to be back. best part of the island
nicholas sadleir2016-06-13T00:00:00ZTodo muy bien, el apartamento está en muy buena zona,cerca de la playa y de supermercados,etc Por calidad precio,es muy buen opción. La madre de Bryn fue un encanto con nosotros y el acceso al club de playa con la piscina un plus. Gracias!!
MIGUEL ANGEL2016-09-04T00:00:00ZPura Vida was as described, cozy, comfortable and in close proximity to the beach and shopping. We were pleasantly surprised with the extra amenities provided. The hospitality was very nice and the host was most accommodating. Thanks also to Ruth. Overall, it was a delightful place to stay.
prescod2016-10-23T00:00:00ZRuth was there when we arrived and immediately let us in to the apartment. She left us some basic food items which was very sweet. The apartment was clean and had everything that we needed for our week long stay. The outdoor space was very big and great for relaxing before or after the beach. The beach club access was great as a base to hang out during the day. The beach and beach club are a 5-10 minute walk from the apartment. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the pura vida apartment.

The home was gorgeous and perfect for all of us staying there. The hosts were quick to respond to messages which was great. She even left some juice in there for us on day 1 to get us started. We had everything we needed, plenty of towels, plates, etc. It was a bit far from activities but it was very peaceful. We just used the cabs a lot. All in all it was a very nice stay and a very nice home away from home.
Nicole2017-02-21T00:00:00ZJoseph and Caroline were amazing hosts. They waited for us at the airport and made sure we make it home safe and sound. At the arrival at the house, we were amazed at how nice the place looked and how clean it was. They even made sure to stock up the fridge with the basic supplies - nice touch thank you The location is perfect. 5 minutes walk to the most amazing beach. We have no words to describe how amazing everything was. The house is a million times more amazing than the pictures show. Thank you so much and see you soon!
Mihai2017-01-05T00:00:00ZJoseph and Caroline's place is located in a quiet residential area with a quick 5 minute walk to a nice beach. Joseph and Caroline were great hosts, and we felt very much welcome. The house is better than pictures suggested, and the master suite is in particular outstanding, and offers a view of the water from the balcony. With green monkeys passing through the forested backyard daily, stunning birds, cool fireflies and tiny frogs, we really felt in paradise at the house. Thank you!

Chris was super helpful from my first contact with him-very speedy replies to lots of questions! The house was fabulous-gorgeous decor (we especially loved the pool and the Master bedroom!) and on a lovely complex.Great location if you have a car which we did as was close to holetown for shops/restaurants/bars as well as the beach of course!The staff in the house were all so friendly and helpful too! Overall a great experience - would definitely deal with Chris again and would return to the house on a flash!
Amy2016-05-08T00:00:00ZThis Sugar Hill luxury villa was an amazing experience from the time of booking the reservation until being greeted by the team. The staff was awesome; overly accommodating and very vibrant. The villa was exceptional and more than what we expected. If ever visiting Barbados again, I would most definitely stay here again. The bedrooms and views throughout the house were to die for. Nice for a group of people and privacy. Thanks again Chris and Team for allowing us to reside in your luxury villa. What a Pleasure!
Porsha2016-10-17T00:00:00ZThis Sugar Hill luxury villa is certainly one of the nicest and most luxurious in the hill and one to enjoy. Layout of the house and high quality finishes make it a pleasure to stay and never leave. Staff is outstanding, helpful and with initiative to make your stay a more pleasurable one. It almost felt like my own second home. I would love to come back and enjoy it again.
Ivan2016-02-07T00:00:00ZChris was very accommodating and responsive during the booking process. He was able to help guide us through and offer great advice about the Island. The house is incredible! The detail to art and spaciousness is very relaxing and comfortable for large groups. We would highly recommend staying here during your trip to Barbados. The staff and property management team make your stay even better. They go out of their way to make sure you are happy and comfortable and can assist is anything you need to know about the island, where to go, how to get around, ect. The house is in a wonderful gated community. You always feel safe and are very close to the beach and any activity you might want. Perfect location! -- it's best to rent a car to get around from the house, the bus gets you close but it is a short walk. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Chris and Staff.
Brittany2016-11-17T00:00:00ZOwner/Host was great and responsive! House was beautiful and as described/pictured. House manager and Lcould have been a bit more pleasant. Chef (Kathy) was great and very accommodating!

We where happy with Helen. She was very nice and accommodating.
Randy2017-01-03T00:00:00ZHelen's place is FANTASTIC - 10 minute walk to The Beach House (access to AWESOME pool with showers included with rental, right beside the beach and walkways connecting the Holetown ocean front), Just Grillin', grocery store, Chattel village - Holetown central. 5 minute walk to banks, Duty Free and coffee shop plaza. 15-20 minute walk south to Sandy Lane & Paynes Bay. 5 minutes to highway/public bus access. The place is comfortable with AC in bedroom and many fans, clothes washer, full kitchen, satellite TV, wifi etc..As listed, perfect for a small family (one King sized bed), couple or single; budget friendly (we traveled during peak season). Helen knows EVERYTHING about the area, recommendations and things to do. She is quick to respond; we loved our stay.
Sara2017-02-12T00:00:00ZTo stay at Helens was great. She was waiting for us, even if our flight had some delay. She showed us the neighbourhood and where we could have lunch etc. She also showed us on the map the best places to visit in Barbados. Which was very convenient since we only stayed for 2 days. Very nice neighbourhood!
Pauline2017-02-07T00:00:00ZLocated in Sunset Crest, Holetown it is located in a quiet village de sac, with wifi, cable tv and aircon. Bonus is the use of the facilities at the Beach House, with pool and sun beds just next to the beach
Colin David2017-02-23T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay at the Yellow Alamanda. It is well situated just a short walk from shops, cafes, public transit, the beach and beach club. Fast wifi in the unit and at the beach club - lots of TV channels if that is your interest. Helen welcomed us and was very friendly. Only a phone call away if needed. This was affordable accommodation in a nice quite area. We felt quite at home and would definitely consider staying again should the occasion arise.

This is a family home with a wonderful owner and sons and daughter. You will find no more welcoming and honest family on the island in my view.
Ed2017-03-03T00:00:00ZYvonnes place was amazing! It was perfect for me for the week. Very clean and everything I needed. And Yvonne was always eager to help with anything she could! The bus stop is right in front of the house as well as a beautiful beach (hang a hammock on the fallen tree) best spot on the island for the sunset. I cant wait to visit Barbados and Yvonne again!
JP2017-02-10T00:00:00ZAunty Yvonne, was the best host ever, the apartment was clean and tidy, the wifi was fast, and her hospitality was second to none. I truly felt welcomed and even got to know some of her family. The neighbourhood was friendly and everyone greeted me warmly. Transport was just 3mins away, the beach was close also. If you are considering this location I recommend it 100%, as I was totally sold.
Andre2017-01-17T00:00:00ZYvonne's apt was just what I needed, a convenient homebase to explore the island. She was very accommodating, communication was great, and waited up until 2am for me to arrive (sorry and thanks again!). Would highly recommend for solo travelers.
Kiko2017-02-14T00:00:00ZYvonne's place was most definitely a home away from home. It is a simple quaint studio attached to her home. There is a small eat in kitchen with a bedroom on the side. Inside the bedroom there is a stand up shower and toilet. The beach is a 5 minute walk away from the apartment. Yvonne has a nice motherly demeanor. Her place is perfect for the solo traveler looking to get away from the busyness of life and enjoy the simpler things.
Shari2016-11-18T00:00:00ZNice place nice people good stay in this little apartment close to the beach and the public transport to get in to Saint James in 5min. Recommend.
Maxime2017-01-16T00:00:00ZAbsolutely perfect place for a 'solo adventurer'!!! Yvonne and her family/friends are welcoming and sweet. The bungalo has everything you need. There was even tea and coffee and rolls to taking! Its about a 5 min walk to the gorgeous Thunder Bay where the locals are hospitable and supremely gracious. Its like 2 mins from the bus stop where multiple buses pass and can take you to almost anywhere youd want to go on the island. If you wanna get a true Bajan experience (mingle with the locals and not be surrounded by tourists/people), yet still be able to get to more popular parts of the island (Speightstown, Bridgetown, Holetown, Oistins, etc.), Weston and it's people, esp Yvonne and her family, are simply perfect.
Clarissa2017-02-19T00:00:00ZYvonne is a welcoming host and did everything she could to make the stay enjoyable. I would definitely recommend her apartment if you are looking for a great place to say near Barbados's platinum coast.

Why does the art world hypocritically promote female creative talent but simultaneously fail to accord women artists the respect given to their male counterparts? Why are women so under-represented in top curatorial posts? Just what has happened to the feminist movement?
Using pornographic spam emails, and replacing the generic 'he' and 'she' with the names of leading feminist artists, Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie delivers a vicious feminist assault on the pretensions and hypocrisy of the London art world.
With walk-on parts by Martha Rosler, Sam Taylor Wood, and Tracey Emin, sensational lost Belle de Jour transcripts, and missives from the underbelly of the blogosphere, Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie reads like SCUM manifesto remixed by The Bomb Squad. Rushed to Malcolm McLaren for an endorsement, legend has it his final croak was, 'feminism with balls'.
Stewart Home has a legendary reputation as a writer, artist and filmmaker. His novels include: 69 Things To Do With A Dead Princess, Tainted Love, and Memphis Underground. From 2007-10 he worked for Book Works as the commissioning editor of Semina, a series of acclaimed experimental novels.

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those of other things, are his history. These are his life, and they are not written. Everyday would make a whole book of 80,000 words–365 books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man–the biography of the man himself cannot be written. MARK TWAIN

But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality… It's a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. ARTHUR C. CLARKE

1. Why did you choose to open your own publishing company?
With all the changes in the publishing industry, this is an exciting time to be an author and a publisher. We were at a crossroads in life, and as a freelance editor, some great manuscripts were coming across my desk that were being ignored by the larger publishing companies. A desire sparked to help change that.
Yes, we provide a service for both readers and writers. (I'll answer the writer portion in the next question.) For readers, we produce good quality, wholesome books. This was an area we felt was lacking, except for Amish fiction. So we decided to fill that gap. Books under our Write Integrity imprint may or may not have a gospel message, but they'll still be clean and wholesome books safe for the whole family to read. Books under our Pix-N-Pens imprint carry a strong gospel message. We publish fiction and nonfiction.
3. What does your publishing house have to offer the author?
Our company isn't for everyone, and we realize that. (We didn't at first - so that is growth on my part.) Some writers feel they're not "legitimate" unless they're published by a large press, but our goal is to get the author visibility and get their books out to readers.
Our authors work together. We're becoming famous for our collaborative novels. The Christmas Tree Treasure Hunt (2012) and A Ruby Christmas (2013) brought several of our authors together, and brought new authors on board through writing contests we had for each book. Treasure Hunt quickly became a bestseller and put our authors on Amazon's bestselling author list alongside John Grisham, Stephen King, and others. That book is still selling well. As I answer these questions, A Ruby Christmas is being promoted and will be released later this week, so we're hoping it follows a similar path.
A Dozen Apologies is our Valentine 2014 collaborative project - check our blog right now for all the details. We'll be announcing (or have just announced) another contest for next year.
4. What genre/style are you most interested in? What are you looking for?
For fiction, we love contemporary stories for the most part, although I'm still looking for a 50's family series. Pitches for series get my attention much quicker than standalones, because of the marketing aspect. We like women's fiction, romantic suspense, mysteries, romance (with depth, not formula romance). Love stories with themes.
For nonfiction, I'm open to various ideas, but prefer books that point people to Jesus in whatever book form that takes.
5. How and when can an author submit to you?
We're open for submissions, although it may take me a little longer to respond during the school year. (I'm currently a full-time college student.) Our submission guidelines are on our websites - WriteIntegrity.com and PixNPens.com.

Jens 'n' Frens Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political. "A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures." -- Daniel Webster
Wednesday, June 15, 2016 ::: It's dangerous to change public policy in response to a single event, especially shortly after the event, when its importance is especially inflated. This is partially because any rushed policy change is likely to be poorly thought out, but also because the stuff of life doesn't grab headlines. If we let media coverage drive policy, attempts to reduce murders even more than they have already fallen in the last several decades will focus too much on mass killings that dominate news cycles nationally and too little on other murders which are more frequent but which get less attention. Gun rights activists like to say that, when the bad guys have guns, we are better off when good guys have guns and are trained to use them. This story is plausible, but it seems strongest in the case of a mass shooting - if a shooter has one victim in mind, he may be done by the time anyone knows he's a threat, but in a mass shooter situation, it's the good guy with the gun who has the element of surprise. So we might be tempted to respond to a mass shooting by making concealed carry easier, reducing the likelihood and magnitude of a large-scale event, but whether that would increase or reduce the overall murder rate is an open question. My understanding is that the empirical results of well-done studies are mixed (the poorly done studies all seem to find a positive correlation between gun ownership and gun crime or gun deaths and infer that guns cause crime), and that the best conclusion is that any effect of gun ownership on crime is small, whatever its sign. Unless something useful can be said about subsets of guns or gun owners or crime, gun policy should probably be made based on other considerations. Labels: guns ::: posted by Steven at 9:36 AM Comments: There was an NBER working paper looking at this recently, noting which sorts of studies tend to find what sort of effects, with the most consistent take-away being that, as usual, model specification matters. Also, though, what you said. # posted by dWj : 1:10 PM Post a Comment

Customer Question
My elderly father has been missing for 8 months. The police are at a loss and are no longer doing anything. I have no idea what to do in many regards. He receives a Social Security check, he has
life insurance
. I don't know what to do about either. How do I proceed from here? I can't keep pretending everything is the same.

I'm sorry to hear this.
The initial move is usually to establish a "
of the estate" over his assets by filing a petition in probate court.
The California Probate Code covers this situation.
"1845. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a
conservator of the estate of a person who is missing and whose
whereabouts is unknown shall be appointed as provided in Article 3
(commencing with Section 1820).
(b) This article does not apply where the proposed conservatee is
an absentee as defined in Section 1403.
[1820. (a) A petition for the appointment of a conservator may be
filed by any of the following:
(1) The proposed conservatee.
(2) The spouse or domestic partner of the proposed conservatee.
(3) A relative of the proposed conservatee.
(4) Any interested state or local entity or agency of this state or any interested public officer or
of this state or of a local public entity of this state.
(5) Any other interested person or friend of the proposed conservatee.
(b) If the proposed conservatee is a minor, the petition may be
filed during his or her minority so that the appointment of a
conservator may be made effective immediately upon the minor's
attaining the age of majority. An existing guardian of the minor may
be appointed as conservator under this part upon the minor's
attaining the age of majority, whether or not the guardian's accounts
have been settled.
(c) A creditor of the proposed conservatee may not file a petition
for appointment of a conservator unless the creditor is a person
described in paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of subdivision (a).]
1846. In addition to the other required contents of the petition, if the proposed conservatee is a person who is missing and whose whereabouts is unknown, the petition shall state all of the following:
(a) The proposed conservatee owns or is entitled to the
of real or personal property located in this state.
(b) The time and circumstance of the person's disappearance and
that the missing person has not been heard from by the persons most
likely to hear (naming them and their relationship to the missing
person) since the time of disappearance and that the whereabouts of
the missing person is unknown to those persons and to the petitioner.
(c) The last known residence of the missing person.
(d) A description of any search or inquiry made concerning the
whereabouts of the missing person.
(e) A description of the estate of the proposed conservatee which requires attention, supervision, and care.
1847. In addition to the persons and entities to whom notice of
hearing is required under Section 1822, if the proposed conservatee
is a person who is missing and whose whereabouts is unknown:
(a) A copy of the petition for appointment of a conservator and
notice of the time and place of the hearing on the petition shall be
mailed at least 15 days before the hearing to the proposed
conservatee at the last known address of the proposed conservatee.
(b) Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall also be
published pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the proposed
conservatee was last known to reside if the proposed conservatee's
last known address is in this state.
(c) Pursuant to Section 1202, the court may require that further
or additional notice of the hearing be given.
1848. In a proceeding to appoint a conservator of the estate of a
person who is missing and whose whereabouts is unknown, the following
acts are not required:
(a) Issuance of a citation to the proposed conservatee pursuant to
Section 1823.
(b) Service of a citation and petition pursuant to Section 1824.
(c) Production of the proposed conservatee at the hearing pursuant
to Section 1825.
(d) Performance of the duties of the court investigator pursuant
to Section 1826.
(e) Performance of any other act that depends upon knowledge of
the location of the proposed conservatee.
1849. A conservator of the estate of a person who is missing and
whose whereabouts is unknown may be appointed only if the court finds
all of the following:
(a) The proposed conservatee owns or is entitled to the possession
of real or personal property located in this state.
(b) The proposed conservatee remains missing and his or her
whereabouts remains unknown.
(c) The estate of the proposed conservatee requires attention,
supervision, and care.
1849.5. (a) A petition may be filed under this article regardless
of when the proposed conservatee became missing or how long the
proposed conservatee has been missing.
(b) If a trustee was appointed pursuant to former Section 262,
repealed by Chapter 201 of the Statutes of 1983, the provisions of
former Sections 260 to 272, inclusive, repealed by Chapter 201 of the
Statutes of 1983, continue to apply to the case after December 31,
1983, unless, upon a petition filed under this article after December
31, 1983, the trustee is replaced by a conservator."
All above statutes via
You can petition to establish a conservatorship of the estate and that will allow you to continue to deposit his checks and handle all his other financial affairs.

Successful Opamp Upgrade
I just finished upgrading the opamps in my CD player, I went from NE5553 (?) opamps to Burr Brown OPA2134. I have let it run for about 10 hours now, and I must say that there is a difference. I cant quite put my finger on it, but it just seems easier to listen to. I think it was definitely worth the upgrade.

Further refinements.
Hi Paul,
I do not know much about your machine. I suggest that after you settle in with your present upgrade you should consider having an external tube amp for the DAC. I cannot say right now ,what you should be doing. My Rotel 855 was also modified. I used an OPA2134 which improved the sound tremendously. But I also have the ability to connect an external tube gain stage. This surely sounds much nicer than the OPA2134 which by itself is quite good. So spend some time on the forum looking at what everyone is doing with tubes. I think the effort ( later on ) will be worth it. the gains are more in imaging , low level sounds and mainly the "voice". Cheers.

Yeah, I was considering that route, but being a poor college student I dont really want to shell out the bucks on that, I would rather pursue gains in other departments (speakers) soon. The more I listen to this, the more I can hear the tremendous difference, the cymbols sound soooo much more real, transients sound better as well, and the voice is much nicer, more neutral, warmer, and less jagged.

I have also changed the opamps in my CD-player, In fact I think it was the same opamps you changed, NE5553 or something.
And I too used the OPA2134, but later I saw better opamps that I could used instead My CD-player is a Sony CDP-XE700, not a very good player, but I heard a big difference, and it was absolutely worth it. I didn't solder the opamps directly to the print, I used a socket so i could more easily change opamps later. And the thing about DACs.... I think you can hear major differences between DACs, especially I find many of the 1-bit delta-sigma converters bad. In fact I'm also planning to build a DAC,hopefully much better than the one found in my current CD-player, it's not a very expensive player so I don't think it will be hard to make a better alternative. And a question to you Per Anders: What's the english word for "drivverk"... you know cd drivverk |

Derived from those sun-soaked Lemonade Stand Days, designers and owners, Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall are the masterminds behind the line For Love & Lemons. Born in Wyoming, finding their style niche in Australia and now based in Los Angeles, the collection is anything but conventional-rebelling against the standards of modern society. The line taunts with intrigue as a clash of colors and patterns are evoked by chic separates and devious dresses. Where the modern gypsy is punk, For Love & Lemons is a brand to relate to, for that girl that doesnt follow trends, she makes them.

Paintings and sculptures, in all manner of shapes and sizes, are on display everywhere. Some sections of the centre are more akin to an art gallery than a fitness centre. In such surroundings you could almost believe that the sprinkling of individuals puffing and blowing below has been deliberately placed there, as living art, in an effort to enhance aesthetic effect. In many respects n-16 appears more Sloane Square than Stoke Newington.
Vic Charles opened the n-16 fitness centre in 1992 after a highly successful sporting career in karate. He started to compete in local championships in 1974 and had won a total of eight world titles and seven European titles by the end of his career. He represented Great Britain in international sport for 16 years and was described by the national coach as "the most outstanding competition fighter in the history of British karate". His phenomenal success as a competitor earned him the award of an MBE for "Services to Karate" on the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 1989. This was the first time that karate had been recognised and honoured in this way.
After retiring in 1990 he started coaching young people within Hackney. In 1992 he transformed a derelict public laundry in the heart of Stoke Newington into the n-16 fitness centre and the British Karate Association's Centre of Excellence. "We chose here because we thought we could build something," he explained. "When we first arrived the public laundry hadn't been used for about three or four years and the place was totally gutted. The basement was flooded and fires had been started."
n-16 now boasts excellent facilities in addition to its striking decor. A desire to produce something out of the ordinary was always at the forefront of Charles's plans: "We didn't want it to be like any other health and fitness centre so we had local artists come in and hang their work. I didn't want to do the stereotypical thing and have pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger on the wall. I'm no artist, I'm just interested in art."
The work of Peter Howson, Richard Ellis and Paul Brown have all appeared at the centre, and the fact that many of the works exhibited are produced locally is clearly of some importance. When he talks of visiting local schools and of "putting something back" into the area, his sincerity is evident. "Why should people have to go outside of Stoke Newington to get fit?" he argues. "I'm no local hero around here but I live in the community and as far as I'm concerned the centre has changed the community. People used to be frightened to walk down this street at night and now the street is functioning, it's alive."
The increasing number of people patronising the centre would suggest that n-16 does fulfil an important role in the area. Moreover, an encouraging number of teenagers regularly attend. Out of the 110 people who take karate at n-16 around 60 per cent are 19 or under; of that percentage around 40 are girls.
The fact that the local kids are joining the centre, as an alternative to daubing it with graffiti, is good news for British sport, in addition to the local community. n-16 has already produced three members of the Karate World Championship Squad and currently dominates British Club karate.
A rare mixture of art and sport has made n-16 successful on a local and sporting level and offers a fresh example of what can be achieved. Even individuals who cared nothing for art would be well advised to visit n- 16. Anything serving as an effective distraction from physical exertion must be worthwhile.
n-16 fitness centre is at 46 Milton Grove, Stoke Newington N16 (0171- 249 0631)

The Faith and Knowledge Conference has just issued its Call for Papers. If you're in a relevant discipline, you should definitely consider participating; it's an awesome conference.
The Faith and Knowledge Conference was established in 2007 to bring together LDS graduate students in religious studies and related disciplines in order to explore the interactions between religious faith and scholarship. During the past four conferences, students have shared their experiences in the church and the academy and the new ideas that have emerged as a result. Papers and conversations provided thought-provoking historical, exegetical, and theoretical insights and compelling models of how to reconcile one's discipleship with scholarly discipline.
In keeping with these past objectives, we invite graduate students and early career scholars in religious studies and related disciplines (e.g., women's studies, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, history, literature, etc.) to join the conversation. We welcome proposals addressing historical, exegetical, and theoretical issues that arise from the intersections of LDS religious experience and academic scholarship. Final papers presented at the conference should be brief, pointed comments of ten to fifteen minutes. Please visit faithandknowledge.org for more information on themes and topics explored at previous years' conferences.
Proposals should include a paper abstract of no more than 250 words and a brief CV. Please submit proposals by November 7, 2014 to Christopher Jones at email@example.com. Notifications will be sent by November 22.
The registration fee will be $25 for graduate students and $50 for early career scholars. For individuals whose paper proposals are accepted, hotel accommodations for one night and all meals on Saturday will be provided; travel expenses will be reimbursed based on a sliding scale.
Further information will be posted on the website: faithandknowledge.org.
