Around the world —from capitol cities to the melting slopes of Mount Everest, even underwater on dying coral reefs—people held rallies aimed at focusing attention on the number 350 because scientists have insisted in recent years that 350 parts per million is the most carbon dioxide we can safely have in the atmosphere. The current CO2 concentration is 390 parts per million.
"That's why glaciers and sea ice are melting, drought is spreading, and flooding is on the increase," said Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and author twenty years ago of the first major book on climate change. "And it's why we need a huge worldwide movement to give us the momentum to make real political change. Our leaders have heard from major corporations and big polluters for a long time—today, finally, they heard from citizens and scientists."
Community members gathered in front of Mt. Carmel Cathedral church to pose for a 350 photo in recognition of the issue of climate change.
The Division of Environmental Quality and Coastal Resources Management Office organized a 350 photo during the Green Business Initiative Eco-bag giveaway at Payless Market – a monthly event to promote reducing the use of plastic bags.

I wanted to introduce you to this gem that goes by the name of "Free and Easy", the Brooklyn-based BAD WIZARD's debut album.
What a blast I had when I first spinned this one!
Ballsy retro Rock'n'Roll with overflowing over-the-top guitar licks and leads, rawking vocals and a thundering rhythm section. Don't pass this one, this is truly magic.
You know how much I love 70's Rock'n'Roll, do you? These guys cherish Rock'n'Roll and deliver like no one else.
BAD WIZARD's later albums sound sedated compared to this explosive one that clocks in less than 30 minutes.
I give you Endless Lady and Keep high / Stay Low, the two last tracks from side A.
I'm not sure this beautiful purple vinyl is easy to find (I don't remember seeing a copy on any record fair) but what I know is that you have to spend your money on this winner, you won't regret it I promise.
By the way, I'm afraid there won't be no post for a couple of days or so, but I'll be back with more music as soon as I can!

What a catchy title, isn't it? I thought so! In light of the news that my husband got while in the hospital - I have made a decision. I want to lose 50 pounds - by... you guessed it... the time that I turn 50 years old. I have right at 3 1/2 years to make that goal. Yes- it shouldn't take me that long -but as difficult as it has been for me to lose any weight at all- especially since my hysterectomy- I wanted to make it a doable goal. Not only a doable goal - but this way - I may lose the 50 pounds before I turn 50 but this way I will be encouraged to keep that weight off so that when I turn 50 - I can be at my goal weight! .
I know that there are changes that I need to make and I have known for a while - but I think that the fear of medical issues rising their ugly heads should help keep me in the straight and narrow of healthy choices for the most part. I sure hope so. I have faith that the changes that I make will lead to weight loss. It might be slow go - but anything in that direction will be wonderful!
Something great that I figured into this number is the fact that many times a person has a hard time losing that last 10 pounds. Well the way I figured out my goal is to work that 10 pounds in - so if I just lose 40 pounds - I will perfectly content because that is a good weight for me. If I am able to continue on to the total 50 pounds - then it is a good bonus for me. Either way I win! Either way I am happy! This is a process. This will be gradual and I realize and accept that.
Anyway - So I will be up dating from time to time about the "50 by 50" so be watching for that.

this isn't the project i'm currently working on or anything, but i've been doing little sketches like these lately. they do a good job of working out my hand, and allow me to indulge in the comforting act of just painting things that i enjoy. like wisteria leaves, swirly curly vines, and some bunting. :o)
the project that i AM seriously working on, which is a book cover, will also have some of the white gouache line work (much like the middle envelope). i like it, but we'll see if it ends up being a look that genuinely works.

Warner Robins Man Dies in Motorcycle Wreck
Release date: September 27, 2016
Incident: Fatal Traffic Accident Involving Motorcycle
Date/Time: September 27, 2016/ approximately 5:39PM
Location: intersection of N. Houston Road and Gawin Drive
At approximately 5:59PM on Tuesday; September 27, 2016 officers responded to the intersection of N. Houston Road and Gawin Drive in reference to a motorcycle versus minivan collision.
Our preliminary investigation reveals a 2007 Honda Odyssey operated by 40 year old Thedoshia Shelley of Warner Robins was traveling north on North Houston Road in the left lane at Gawin Drive. A 2003 Yamaha 600 motorcycle operated by 36 year old James Thomas Cole of Warner Robins was traveling south in the right lane approaching Gawin Drive.
The Honda Odyssey turned left attempting to enter Gawin Drive and entered the path of the traveling motorcycle.
The operator of the motorcycle, James Thomas Cole, was transported to the Houston Medical Center with serious injuries. He was pronounced deceased a short time later.
The operator of the minivan, Thedoshia Shelley was transported to the Medical Center at Navicent Health with non life threatening injuries. Five juveniles who were passengers in the minivan were also transported to The Medical Center Navicent Health with non life threatening injuries.
This case is still under investigation by Sgt. Randy Evans of the Warner Robins Police Department's Traffic Division.

Improvement practices and their critique are core features of the Austen milieu. In this essay, though, I argue that in Austen's Northanger Abbey (1818), General Tilney's reliance on clock time to manage his estate's operations indicates a relatively unexamined aspect of the debate. Thus Austen contrasts the leisure of Bath to the labor of Northanger in order to highlight the new economic challenges that the landed gentry face. General Tilney's time-discipline management style suggests his anxiety about his home's declining value and his insistence on regulating his family's emotional lives. It reflects his effort to recoup some of his diminishing economic and patriarchal authority. Ultimately redefining the very notion of gentry leisure, Northanger Abbey functions as a site where domestic labor, leisure, and etiquette are all subordinate to the same rigid, time-discipline decorum that the General uses to regulate his home's marketable operations (e.g., its pinery, hot-houses, and timber). Viewing the General's chronometric improvements as both inhospitable and oppressive, Catherine Moreland's preference for the relaxed but modest Woodston at the novel's end is, in part, a reaction to the General's timekeeping dictums and, finally, an important register of the emotional toll that the General's improvement practices have wrought.

text: Sister Joyce, Sister Jackie and Lanette are really working on the cards for today's class. Today we let the class do their cards for themselves. We just brought the cardstock and other materials they might need and they did all the rest. Usually we cut all the pieces they need per card and fix kits for each one. Since we decided to do things differently this time, it worked out fine. Hopefully the class liked it this way too. The last three cards are of each of them showing off their work. Sister Dungey, Sister Biles and Sister Floyd. We had several out of class today because this is Mother's Day weekend. Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

We did it!
Kaylee Pawley raised £215 from 9 supporters.
Closed 30/12/2016
We've raised £215 to say thank you to the charities that make a huge difference in the world of organ donation and cardiac care!
- Funded on Friday, 30th December 2016
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
In 1996, my youthful certainty that 'I had all the time in the world' took a bit of a knock, when I went from seemingly fit and healthy to needing a heart transplant in the space of just two months.
Dilated cardiomyopathy turned my family's world upside down. A heart transplant at the 11th hour saved my life, but as a result, the world felt very different. Those early days revolved around biopsies, blood tests, medication and avoidance or management of rejection. Life was measured in terms of days, months and years PTx (post transplant) and the future seemed far from certain.
With amazing support, I navigated my way through the those difficult first few days and weeks before racking up many months and (so far) over twenty years of bonus time that would never have been possible without the gift of organ donation.
Organ donation saves lives - no doubt, but it needs careful handling, education and specialist care in sensitive circumstances. Transplant Sport and The Freeman Heart & Lung Transplant Association both help to raise awareness of the vital role organ donation plays in giving people like me a chance at a wonderful, fabulous life. They also provide valuable support, advice and organise life-affirming events like the annual British Transplant Games.
Cardiomyopathy is a complex condition. In my case it turned out to be hereditary, though this was only realised after my brother became ill with the same symptoms at the age of 29. He had to wait too long for his gift of life, and in the end, we lost him after a courageous fight. The British Heart Foundation funds research which is critical in understanding, managing and ultimately, one-day preventing conditions like Cardiomyopathy from robbing our loved ones of their tomorrows.
If you'd like to show your support for these three charities then I thank you from the bottom of the best gift I've ever been given.

Senate Dems Kill Effort to Rein in Czars
A senior Democratic official tells Fox that Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-CT, as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, "recognized the implications and alerted the White House."
The aide pointed to language of the Collins amendment, that it applies to officials "without express statutory authorization and which is responsible for the interagency development or coordination of any rule, regulation, or policy…."
The aide continued: "Neither the (White House) chief of staff nor the National Security advisor are authorized statutorily. Nor are dozens of other White House officials who coordinate policy. " The aide contends, the amendment would have gone too far, encircling close advisers to the President.

Saturday was a fun day spent in the Twin Cities area with my mom and my sister. We started out at the thrift shop in the Sun Ray strip mall area. After several hours spent there, in addition to a store next door that is going out of business, a stop at TJMaxx and at Gordmans, and I ended the day with something like 12 shirts, 6 skirts, 2 pairs of shoes, and a couple new pieces of fun spring/summer jewelry. You can't beat that! Here is a picture of some of my Day of Shopping Booty! Huzzah!

Half-hearted Excuse About Why I Haven't Posted Anything Recently
So, I lost my job last week. It was totally unexpected, and I was really sad and angry for a couple days. Needless to say, I got right back on the horse and started applying for new stuff that same night. Ended up getting an interview the following day, and I'm starting somewhere new next week. The office has a dog, so that's very exciting. It's a small office for a local company owned by a husband and wife, and I'm incredibly thankful that it came about so quickly. I'm hopeful that this will be my last job…but I'm not quite 30 (close, but no cigar), and who knows what the future will bring…there are a LOT of years ahead of me yet.
While I know I haven't posted anything on here in a while, I have been doing an okay job of keeping stuff up on Twitter and Facebook. My FB account is pretty private, but Twitter is out there for all to see…track me down if you want: @stampin_hannah
Here are some pictures of my tiny owl collection. They make me happy (especially the one that glows and changes colors), so maybe they will also give you a little bit of happiness, too.
Observe the Cuteness…Have a Good Night. The End.
I love these stupid things!
For realsies – When I discovered these a couple summers ago I was skeptic…doing a bun in hair that goes down past your waist usually requires either a whole package of regular bobby pins, OR a bun form of some kind. But these? Nope, not necessary at all. I can make it work with two, three is a little more stable, and four (top, bottom, and each side) makes for a nice tight bun that will not go anywhere. Even on slippery dry hair, these things are awesome. And the best part is that they don't dig in to your scalp, and the bun doesn't feel like it's pulling your hair out at the roots. Best hair purchase in a looonnngg time! ♥
Taking Time Off from Work is Great, but Playing Catch-Up Afterwards is Really the Pits.
I love my job (what I actually do), and I love my coworkers (they're the best) and I love the company I work for (really, I do – no sarcasm!) – but I tell you what…Being out for the better part of a week makes for a rough couple days back in the office!
This time I was out of town for a couple days last week (medical purposes, I won't go into detail, 'cause it's a looooonnnngg story), and just now today, Wednesday afternoon, I feel like I'm mostly back up and running at full capacity.
I started my position a couple years before my two counterparts joined the company, and my current boss/supervisor/whatever hasn't ever actually done my job. She's done a TON of stuff throughout the company in her many years here, but not my position specifically. Because of this, the way I was trained to do the job is different than she does/knows, and it's also different than the two other ladies who essentially have the same job responsibilities that I do.
I usually feel like I end up doing 75% of what they did while I was out all over again, because I can't make Heads 'nor Tails of the notes they've made, etc. Obviously there isn't anything wrong with the way they're doing their own work, because we all arrive at the same conclusion/outcome in the end, it just makes it a bit tricky to get going quickly when I've been out for a couple days. I'm sure they'd say the same thing if I were to fill in for them while they're out!
There, I feel better. Maybe another post later tonight? Maybe not.
I guess we'll just have to play it by ear! ♪ ♫

I hate the IRS. I hate the government. I hate the fact that the money in my pockets is susceptible to the sticky fingers of Uncle Sam and yet, the common folk get put in jail for stealing. Don't steal boys and girls, the government REALLY hates competition. Why is it that a percentage of my paycheck goes to pay some brief case carrying bastard who already had enough money to go to school and get a job in which he learns to take more money!? Get a real JOB!
Hmph. It really sours my mood when I get a letter from the IRS telling me they lost my payment and now I owe them more money. Of course, they don't actually SAY they lost my payment. I believe their words were, 'it was late.' Um, first of all, it wasn't. Second of all, even if it was, YOU STILL GOT YOUR MONEY! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
And now on to the entry. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I don't really feel any better and kinda want to go down to Kansas city Joker style and make a mess of things. But alas, I don't have a purple suit, or the scars so I'll just sit here and blog instead. The topic today is the french film called 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.' It is a true story about a man who was in a very good position in life with lots of things going for him when all of the sudden he suffered from a stroke which paralyzed his entire body. When he awoke from the coma, he couldn't....well, I don't wanna spoil the whole thing for you. I know my description doesn't make you want to run out and see it, but if you trust me at all, it is worth seeing. The cinematography was really well done and even though it was a slower movie, it moved along nicely.
As always, a little something to spark your interest.

Junior looked back at Ayisha.
"He's not my kid you know. My brother, my dear brother Caleb killed himself. The boy's mother," he pointed to Carl, "she ran off with some rodeo cowboy. Caleb tried to dull his pain with a load of beer and a bunch of whiskey he found on sale down at the Quik Pick liquor store. Caleb got drunk, then killed himself by rolling his truck, which of course led to me suddenly having his son Carl in my business. You got kids?"
Ayisha shook her head "no."
"Figures. You FBI types probably don't have time for family. Well let me tell you what. It ain't all it's cranked up to be. I mean, look at this situation. I've got you people," he waved his gun across at Delton, "probably federal agents, snooping around my property and where's Carl? Face down in the dirt. I tell you, the boy makes a cedar post seem really smart.
Date Published: 8/6/12
Publisher: Champagne Books
After a murdered partner, a cheating wife and a lost job in Houston, Nick Sibelius sets up a private investigation business in a small Texas town hoping to find some peace and maybe, himself. When a couple disappears and a bass fisherman turns up dead, he finds himself drawn into a web of toxic relationships: MaryLou, a beautiful woman with a mysterious past; Junior, a failed farmer whose best intentions seem to always result in a dead body; Barry, a sociopathic dentist turned illegal toxic waste entrepreneur with visions of grandeur. When the felon who killed his partner in Houston joins forces with Barry, Nick must not only stop the toxic waste dumping while finding his client's missing daughter, but keep from being killed in the process. In the end, MaryLou's dark secret will either save him or kill him — whichever comes first.
"Tight suspense with wonderful laugh out loud moments. Richard Hacker is a master storyteller."
Pam Binder, Pacific Northwest Writers Association President and author of the NY Times Best Selling anthology, A Season in the Highlands
"Many times I found myself getting strange looks because I was laughing out loud…Highly entertaining and sure to be enjoyed by fans of mysteries with humor. I highly recommend it and hope that there will be more stories to follow."
Paige Lovitt for Reader Views

The state auditor general says the Department of Children and Family Services did not have current photos of some children in its care.
The audit also shows a growing number of abuse reports are not resolved within the required 60 days. The agency missed the deadline in more than two percent of cases last year, up from less than half a percent in 2001.
The report calls for more staff to make sure contractors hired by DCFS are not cheating the state or providing shoddy care to children.
Agency officials say they are taking steps to improve record-keeping and oversight.

If you've accidentally reset your custom desktop icons layout by enabling Auto arrange or by hitting a wrong key sequence, here is a neat trick to revert back the original desktop icons position.
Desktop icons layout remains in the memory until you initiate a logoff. During user account logoff or when restarting Explorer cleanly, the desktop icons position is saved to the registry. To quickly revert back original icon positions during the current logon session, forcible kill and restart the Explorer.exe process. To do that, press WinKey + R to launch the Run dialog, type the following command and press ENTER:
tskill explorer
This closes all folder windows, kills Explorer shell and restarts it . The last saved desktop icons position (written during previous logoff) is now applied. Of course, this would work only if you've inadvertently changed the desktop icon layout during the current logon session.
Note that gracefully exiting Explorer is not going to work in this case, as it would save the current desktop layout to the registry.

•Premier Li Keqiang said that the government has decided to promote several measures to prevent and treat the epidemic, as these measures are technically mature, have significant social benefit and their costs can be controlled. He said these measures will be implemented around China by the end of 2015, and the government is trying its best to achieve the goal of "getting to zero" first with children. He made the comments ahead of World AIDS Day on Dec 1, 2014.
He also said the government is working to set up a fund as soon as possible for social organizations to help prevent and treat the epidemic, and is improving tax reduction policies concerning social organizations involved in this battle.
• Ahead of World AIDS Day in 2013, Premier Li Keqiang wrote a letter to Beijing You An Hospital, saying that relevant departments should carry out reform and innovation, purchase services from social organizations — and provide support to such organizations so that more of them will participate in efforts to prevent HIV/AIDS.
• On Nov 26, 2012, Li — then vice-premier — met representatives of social organizations and international organizations involved in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Li said that throughout history people have worked together to defeat many major epidemics, such as smallpox, and definitely have the wisdom and power to defeat HIV/AIDS.
• On Nov 18, 2011, Li visited the Beijing Center for Diseases Prevention and Control, where he talked with medical workers, volunteers working with social organizations, and people infected with HIV. He said relevant parties should aim to prevent and treat the epidemic in a legal, scientific, comprehensive and orderly manner, and take more active and forceful measures to win the long battle against AIDS.
• On Nov 22, 2010, Li said the authorities should effectively implement the national policy that provides free anti-viral treatment to people infected with HIV, and strengthen treatment of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients, so as to reduce the suffering of AIDS patients and increase their life expectancy.
During a visit to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Li also said that the authorities should offer more supplies to AIDS patients and their families, and should ensure the daily necessities of children affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as their right to education and healthcare services.

Creating a Session Bean
Now that you have seen how to create an EJB project as well as how to set up dependencies from an EJB project to other modules and utility JARs within the enterprise application, you are ready to create an enterprise bean. Creating an enterprise bean within WSAD is accomplished by using the enterprise bean creation wizard. You will use this wizard to add an enterprise bean entry to the ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor. It also has the capability of generating, if necessary, the JavaBean classes and interfaces required to support the enterprise bean. We will start by providing details of how to create both stateless and stateful session beans. Later chapters will provide additional details for creating entity beans and MDBs.
Start by creating an EJB project named UtilitiesGroup which belongs to a new EAR project named UtilityEAR. We will use this EAR and EJB project for the rest of this example. Once you have done so, you are ready to create a session bean that will be used to create random integer values. This could be a useful class if you do not have a natural key value for your object model. For example, a person will have a Social Security number as a natural key value but a LineItem may not have a natural key value. In this case, any unique value would be adequate. Note that this is a simple example of a session bean and you would probably not use this example as a way to produce unique IDs because random integers are not guaranteed to be unique.
A much better option for automatic ID generation will be described in Chapter 23 when container-managed entity beans are described.
1 Using the EJB Creation Wizard
Like many other actions within WSAD, opening the EJB creation wizard can be accomplished many ways. The most basic way to open the wizard is to select New > EJB > Enterprise Bean from the File menu bar. This path is available anywhere within WSAD. When working in the J2EE perspective, which is the desired perspective to operate within when working with enterprise applications and EJBs, there are many methods to open this wizard. For example, it can be opened using the context menu on an EJB module selection in J2EE Hierarchy view. Refer to the online documentation for other shortcuts to opening the EJB creation wizard.
Select File > New > EJB > Enterprise Bean from the menu bar to open the Enterprise bean creation wizard. Figure shows the first page of this wizard where it is necessary to select an EJB project in which you would like to create the new enterprise bean. For this example, we will select the UtilitiesGroup EJB project from the combo box. This page will not appear for all open actions because the selected project may already be known and cannot change.
14. EJB creation wizard page 1.
The second page of the EJB creation wizard, shown in Figure, contains choices for the basic settings of the new enterprise bean. Near the top of the page is a series of four radio buttons for each type of enterprise bean. In this example, we are creating a session bean. The name of the session bean that we are going to create is RandomIDGenerator and it is entered in the Bean name text field. The Source folder, which defaults to ejbModule, is a folder within the EJB project in which the newly created bean is placed. You may select another existing source folder or enter a new folder name and it will be created for you. You may wish to select a different source folder other than ejbModule since this is the location used when generating deploy code. Choosing another source folder will allow you to keep your bean classes and deploy code completely separated. We will enter source so that we can demonstrate the difference from using the default. The default package will be the package name used for the bean class and interface names that are set on the next page of the wizard.
15. EJB creation wizard page 2.
The third page of the EJB creation wizard, shown in Figure, is used to set deployment descriptor details for the session bean. The first section of the page is where you specify whether or not the session bean is stateful or stateless. With a stateful session bean, conversational state must be retained across methods and transactions. This is accomplished within the EJB container by serializing each method call to ensure that the state is preserved between method invocations. A stateless session bean does not contain any conversational state between method calls. Therefore, any session bean instance may be used by the container since state is not preserved.
16. EJB creation wizard page 3.
The next section is used to specify the transaction type which can be either container or bean. This setting determines whether the session bean will have container-managed or bean-managed transaction demarcation. When the transaction type is set to Container, the transaction demarcation is controlled by the container and is governed by transaction settings on the methods of the session bean client interfaces. With a transaction type of Bean, the session bean is required to create, commit, and rollback the user transactions itself and no transaction attributes should be set for the client interface methods. See Chapter 28 for more details on transactions.
The next field is the bean supertype. This combo box will contain the names of other session beans already created in the EJB project. You can select one of these bean names to define an EJB inheritance hierarchy. You will learn more about EJB inheritance in Chapter 25. The bean class text field is the name of the new session bean's EJB class. The default EJB class name is the bean name and the default package name from the previous page. You may change the name or you may browse for another existing Java bean class or just an existing package name. If you select an existing bean class, the text in the field will change to blue if Java source code is detected and red if only a Java binary file exists for the class name.
Note: A bean class will only be generated upon finish if the selected Java class name does not already exist because it is possible to create a session bean definition from a set of existing bean classes.
The EJB binding name is the JNDI name that will be bound to the session bean within WebSphere. In this example, the default JNDI name is set to ejb/com/wsbook/casestudy/ejb/utilities/RandomIDGeneratorHome which is derived from the fully qualified name of the default home interface name. This JNDI name is specified at bean creation time since it is required for testing purposes.
The last section of this wizard page is for the client views. You can choose to create a local and/or remote client view by selecting the Local client view and Remote client view check boxes respectively. Using a remote client view indicates that a remote client interface and a remote home interface will be created for use by remote clients. Remote clients use RMI for accessing the enterprise bean. Using a local client view indicates that a local client interface and a local home interface will be created for use by local clients (i.e., clients on the same JVM). Local method invocation does not require RMI. Refer to Chapter 22 for more detail about EJB clients and Chapter 30 for deciding when is the best time to use local client interfaces.
For session beans, the Remote client view check box is selected by default but you may decide to create a local client view or both. Just like the bean class, the remote home interface and remote interface default values are set using the bean name and default package name from the first page. The name of the remote home interface adds Home to the end of the default Bean class name (e.g., com.wsbook.casestudy.ejb.utilities.RandomIDGeneratorHome). Also, like the bean class name, you can change the default name and choose an existing class name. Again, the Java interface will only be generated if an existing Java interface name is not selected.
The last page of the EJB creation wizard gives you some control over the generated bean class and client interfaces that will be generated. The EJB Java Class Details page, shown in Figure, has three sections for affecting the generated classes and interfaces. The Bean superclass field allows you to specify another Java class for the new bean class to extend. This is normal Java inheritance and not EJB inheritance. If a bean supertype is specified from the previous page, this field will have the fully qualified name of the supertype bean's bean class and it will be disabled. It is disabled since you are unable to change the superclass if an EJB supertype is specified. This field will also be disabled if you have selected an existing bean class on the previous page.
17. EJB creation wizard page 4.
The second section is a list of Java interfaces that the new remote interface should extend. This section will be disabled if you have not selected to generate a remote interface or you have selected an existing remote interface. The last section is very similar to the second section except that it allows you to specify other Java interfaces that the local interface should extend. This section will be disabled if you have not selected to generate a local interface or you have selected an existing local interface.
After you press the Finish button, three new Java classes will be generated under the Source folder.
A new enterprise bean entry will be entered into the deployment descriptor for the new RandomIDGenerator session bean.
<session id="RandomIDGenerator"> <ejb-name>RandomIDGenerator</ejb-name> <home>com.wsbook.casestudy.ejb.utilities.RandomIDGeneratorHome</home> <remote>com.wsbook.casestudy.ejb.utilities.RandomIDGenerator</remote> <ejb-class>com.wsbook.casestudy.ejb.utilities.RandomIDGeneratorBean </ejb-class> <session-type>Stateless</session-type> <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> </session>

Happy Saturday everyone! I just came back from my friend's baby shower. This is my first time attending baby shower 'cos I'm not accustomed to the culture. Usually in Singapore there wont be any celebration prior giving birth, there will only be gifts after delivery. Fast forward, celebration starts when the baby turns one month old. The proud parents will return the favor by giving hampers contain items with their baby's name engraved/printed to close family, relatives and friends.
Anyway, I had so much fun today and it's a GIIIRLLL! It's nice to meet new people, especially getting to know a lot more Indonesian who reside here in Calgary.

well...0 comments added at 10:38 AM
Owen's had 3 shots of Rocephin and he's still got a decent infection. So we got a referral to the ENT. We go back (yet again) to the pediatrician Monday morning to re-check him and they will follow him until we can get into the ENT (I got the referral at 5:05 and the office was already closed so i have to call Monday morning - they open at 8:30).
So that's where we are at right now. Looks like we're headed for tubes... but I am ready and happy if it will make him better.

Owen has a raging double ear infection again. Lots of pus (eww) and she even used an otoscope with a bulb on a tube to blow air into his ear and check for movement and there wasn't any. So Owen got a painful shot (yes a shot, it goes so slow and hurts and from what I hear REALLY expensive) of Rocephin. He goes back tomorrow at 4 for another shot and look in his ear. And again on Friday (she thinks he will likely need all 3 shots) at 4 for his final shot. I asked about the ENT and she said that after this gets taken care of, they'll refer me over. I dunno why they wait but as long as my baby don't hurt....
Hunter, I brought along because he said his head hurt and said his right ear hurt a few times. Today of course he said he felt fine and nothing hurt. Well, I brought him anyway. Yup! A double ear infection (3 in a row for him and 4 in a row for Owen if you are keeping score)! So, he's on Omnicef for 10 days.
So, Cole still has 2 days left of his Amoxi pills (1 pill 2 times a day), Hunter takes 1 teaspoon of Omnicef 1 time a day for 9 more days, and Own has 2 more days of shots. Phew! I hope they feel good enough to enjoy this weekend... Sunday is supposed to be just about 80 degrees (keep in mind this morning when I checked the weather before getting the kids dressed it was a a balmy 17 degrees!)

Well, the nurse said to make an appointment (which is scheduled for 2:40 this afternoon with Dr. Nina Verdino)...
Hunter says his head hurts today so I am gonna bring him in along with Owen just to peek at things.
Wish us luck! If Owen has an ear infection, we're gonna be referred to an ENT.. I kinda hope he does just so something can happen so he'll be back to himself!
My little O....0 comments added at 6:55 AM
He's been pretty consistently running a fever of 102.5 (and it goes down to 101.5 but no lower). Yesterday he woke up after a 13-hour sleep with help from me. He stayed awake for 4-1/2 hours. He took another nap and again I had to wake him up.. This nap was over 4 hours long! I made him get up at 5:15. I figured he'd be up late but by 8pm, he was asleep for the night! I temped him last night because he was whining i his sleep and he was feverish even after Tylenol. I am gonna call the nurses line when they open. My poor baby.
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Seems all I can get on here to do is update my kids' illnesses!
Let's see.. yesterday Owen was kinda groggy. I brought Hunter in for his 2-week recheck and dragged Cole along. Hunter hasn't had any fevers and she took a long look (thank you Nurse Camplin) and he still has fluid in both his ears but it is very clear. I had her peek into Cole and she said the one ear still has yellow fluid. I mentioned his fevers and she said it could be anything. She said she's seen kids with Strep & mono, strep & ear infections, Flu & mono.... there are so many things going around, it's hard to tell. But he still has days left on his Amoxi. I should add today is day 2 Hunter said he had a headache (points kinda right between his eyes).
Then last night after kids wen to bed, Hunter came out and told us his right ear hurt. He got Tylenol and wet to bed.
They were up early again (yay)today (Tuesday the 3rd of March). Owen slept until 8:30 when I prodded him awake. He was kinda money all day. Hunter complained his right ear hurt again.
I took temps at 12:45 there were: Cole - 99.0, Hunter - 99.9, and Owen - 101.8. I gave Owen some Tylenol and he will take his nap in a few.
This is just getting ridiculous...
oh - and can ya tell wake county to stop cancelling school!

Cole was born 6 days late at 7 pounds 6 ounces & 20.5 inches.
At 1 year he was 25 pounds 10 ounces and 32.5 inches.
Cole was on the charts for weight (barely) but off for height.
Hunter was born 23 days early at 7 pounds .2 ounces & 20 inches.
At 1 year he was 26 pounds 7 ounces and 32 inches (and his head was 48cm).
Hunter was off the charts for all his measurements.
Owen was born 11 days late at 8 pounds 4.9 ounces & 21.5 inches.
At 1 year he was 21 pounds 5 ounces and 31.25 inches (and 46cm head).
Owen was in between 75th and 90th percentile for height but 25th for weight and his head is now above 95th percentile?? I gotta ask about that since he was always in the 25th.
Edwards' Household Status0 comments added at 10:54 AM
Wednesday the 25th - Owen had a fever and was a crank. Cole still had hives off & on but he went to school (today was his show-and-tell day)
Thursday the 26th - Owen had his 1-year well check with Dr. Hamp. Well, sure enough, he has a raging double ear infection! He was prescribed Azithromycin (Zithromax). Cole went to school and still, on & off hives.
Friday the 27th - Owen's a crank and running a low fever. In teh afternoon, Cole started a fever of 101+.
Saturday the 28th (today) - Owen was a super crank and woke up at 7 and fell asleep on Tommy by 9 (still asleep at 11). Cole seemed OK, but he went to sleep at like 10 and slept until 10:45 (I woke him up). He has a fever of 102+.
I dunno how to get these kids better or WTF is going on.... oh, I should add I have a head cold. No fevers or anything.. just a stuffy head.

Today's drama....0 comments added at 5:13 PM
Cole has an ear infection. We picked up his Amoxi chewables that he starts tonight. The doctor says his hives are viral exanthems.
Owen has no ear infections but currently has a 102.4 fever (just gave him Tylenol).
Hunter's still OK! :)
UGH!0 comments added at 5:08 AM
here it is, 5:10am! I have been awake for 2 hours thanks to Owen (who is now finally asleep).
I thought we were kinda fine. We made it from 8pm to 3:15am without a peep (yay!) and then he woke up crying and I tried to let him lull himself but nope. So, I made a 7 ounce bottle. He drank it all and was still whining and crying and ugh! I made another bottle (a 4 ounce) just before 5:00 am and changed his full pee-pee diaper. He fussed but now finally seems to have gotten to sleep.
Last time this crap happened he had an ear infection. I so ope this isn't #3 in the last 2 months!
As for Cole, he went to bed with hives still but had taken 2 benadryl quick melt tablets. So, he's sleeping pretty soundly and he has a 10:10am doctor's appointment if we still need it.

Yesterday, the New York Times carried a story about a movement to criminalize yet another substance in order to protect those idiots who might want to injest it. The target this time, an herb called salvia divinorum, is the focus of legal attention by various states because it is a powerful hallucinogen. Some idiots have apparently been posting videos to YouTube showing themselves getting high on it. One Texas representative, Charles Anderson, commented: "When you see it, well, it sure makes a believer [in prohibition] out of you." (Hmm, Representative, I wonder if a video of some guys getting drunk on beer would be any more edifying.)
The fact is, the state should not be involved in determining what people put in their own bodies. If someone is stupid enough to poison themselves with some drug, that is their problem, and my tax dollars shouldn't be spent on it. We shouldn't be criminalizing people for just being stupid.
What makes this really disturbing is that salvia divinorum looks as though it could be a useful component for psychiatric medications and possibly AIDS treatments. Idiots like Rep. Anderson, in trying to protect people from themselves, will only slow the progress of medicine.

It's been over 6 months since I last posted a blog. A lot has happened since then, I am now an officer of the bank. I have a fresh perspective, I'm optimistic about my new challenges.
I just wish I could spend time going back to Palawan. I miss that place, and I want to see how typhoon Yolanda (international code name Haiyan) destroyed such a beautiful place.
I miss Palawan… I miss the simple things in life.

From: Claire E. Hughes-Lynch, Ph.D.
January 17, 2012
I am a translator. Not of languages, but of viewpoints. Any autism information that I ever encounter is filtered through two lenses- my role as a parent of two children on the autism spectrum and as a professor of special education. I am always looking for information to share with other parents, but also, to share with teachers- both special education and general education. When I first began researching autism as a desperate parent, I soon found that there were parent voices, and there were scientist voices, and there were educator voices. My knowledge as a "teacher of teachers" with a Ph.D. in education meant that I was very able to translate from one perspective to another. I have a blog www.professormother.com that captures this dual role of mine and it has led me to write two books "Children with High Functioning Autism: A Parents' Guide", and "Teaching Children With High-Functioning Autism: Strategies for the Inclusive Classroom". I have presented to parent groups and to teacher groups and to autism researchers the differing perspectives, needs and concerns of each group. I am a translator.
I am hoping to go to the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) as a parent, and as a special education professor. I have several goals that I hope to meet through this meeting.
1) Acquire information that I can share with parents. As a blogger, as a speaker, and as an author, I try to have the latest information available to share. I view information as leading us in a direction for decision-making– not necessarily a straight line, but a process of fits and starts. It is through science that we can "test" information. Parents are always looking forward, whereas science is looking backwards and making sense of the stories. I want to hear about the information that can help parents continue to look forward continue to make good decisions. There is so much misinformation out there, it is important that the "good" information be shared as much as possible and the various dialogues be presented. In order to do this, I need good data.
2) Acquire information to share with teachers. I work directly with beginning teachers in Georgia and present to experienced teachers around the country. In all cases, their lack of understanding and awareness of the diverse needs of children with autism is stunning. There are "stories" that are shared, but little information that takes the situation of the present-day classroom into consideration. I attempt to share the perspectives of parents and students, and to share what tested and effective strategies are out there and what are some promising new directions. In order to do this, I need good data.
3) Acquire information to begin my own research agenda. I have been so busy being an "autism mommy" and presenting to teachers, that I have had little to contribute to the scholarly community myself. I have studied and presented on what factors impact the satisfaction of the IEP process of parents, but I would like to really begin to determine effective intervention practices that are based on good scientific data. I have begun some preliminary work into the study of the management of anxiety and have begun searching for grants, but such attempts are in their infancy. In order to do this, I need good data.
4) Acquire information to help my husband, my family, and myself. Lastly, and certainly not least, my own children are pre-teens, and heading into adolescence. While I can talk to parents of newly-diagnosed children, I am at a loss about issues that are upcoming in my own children. I want to be able to chart a path for myself and others who are looking at how autism impacts the life span– fancy words for "How the heck do we navigate middle school, high school and adulthood, when it feels like we just barely navigated through the first 10 years?" In order to do this, I need good data.
As you can see, autism is very personal to me on so many levels. I firmly believe that as different groups- scientists, teachers, and parents- dialogue, we will find connections between strands of research and viewpoints that allow us to make good decisions, and enables people with autism to function in a society that understands and respects everyone. I have begun contributing – but In order to go on, I need good data.

Today my gorgeous nephew, Oscar, turned three. We had a fun afternoon playing horse jumping, dinosaurs, doctors and eating cake, but the highlight had to be when we sat round the kitchen table so that he could act out with home made models and tell us the story of The Gruffalo in full!
Happy Birthday boy... x

Well, it's me again. And yes, my dear hubby is still furloughed. And we're both still frustrated. I would like to say that we're making great use of this time taking a vacation, enjoying time off but that's the complete opposite of what we're doing. See, we don't have the money for that.
We have made some progress on some house projects (we were just in the middle of moving a few rooms around). But it's slow going. We've been working on getting caught up on laundry, which is always behind in this house. The kitchen looks nice. The real problem is this big black cloud looming over our heads, and I don't just mean the rainy, pacific northwest weather.
You see, all I've heard since the furlough is one thing. More arguing. There's a whole lot more blame going on now than there was before the shut down. This is seriously disappointing. I know everyone has their own political opinion and I'm not writing this to voice mine. Though I definitely have one. I am writing to voice my opinion on the effects this arguing has on the general public. Those that aren't deemed "essential". The one's that don't really seem to matter.
I am seriously disappointed in the President of the United States of America. He is supposed to be our Commander in Chief. Lead the people. Show everyone in this country, and the world, how Americans behave when faced with challenges. What has he shown? He has stood up in front of the country, and world, and said that this didn't have to happen. That it only happened because of one part of a political faction, in one part of the government...blah blah blah. Do you know what I hear? "It's not my fault! (waa waa waa)." When my children respond with this behavior and keep blaming one another, I make them stop the blame game and figure out a way to make each other happy. Let's try that in our government!
Let me be clear. I don't care what political party the President is a part of. I don't care what political party caused the shut down. I don't really believe it was one party, I think it was a combination of stubbornness, pride, and the next political election. What I care about is this:
How am I going to take care of my family?
So while the President, Democrats, and the Republican parties yell at each other and argue over who caused what, I worry about the longevity of this situation. I am in panic mode. And so is my husband. (And for anyone wondering, I do understand that the President is a Democrat, but as the President he's supposed to be able to rise above his political party, right? Is he doing that?)
My husband has asked the question that many Americans in this situation are asking. The one's living paycheck to paycheck only now they don't expect a paycheck, "When do I just go get another job?" Yeah...cause that's so simple in today's market.
It doesn't matter that I work from home pulling in a meager amount. That just supports what my husband brings home. What he's not bringing home now. So while politicians in DC are making exceptions for numerous parts of the government to go back to work, my husband won't be one of them. We don't live in DC, he's not part of NASA, he doesn't work for the National Parks. He has a job, an important job, but it's not on the list of exceptions. So...we'll be left in the dust with the rest of those that don't fall under those particular categories. Why doesn't our paycheck matter?
And seriously, it doesn't make me feel any better that many politicians are "donating their funds in solidarity". First off, if you have the money to donate this chunk of change to charity, or back to the US Government (yeah, I'm going to want to see the cancelled check on that one!), then you aren't feeling the hurt like the rest of us. And by the way, that's a tax write off. Well played.
You know what I'm thinking about? I really wish I'd stocked up on meat when I'd had the chance. Is it possible to feed my family one chicken breast for two meals and still satisfy their hunger?
What's your concern?

La Bandeja
Tonight's dinner evolved into a mini feast without too much prior planning or thinking. When I was photographing the delicious spread, a phrase came to mind that Johnncake's Mom uses. Johnnycakes family is Colombian and they call a large platter a "bandeja". I hope the Spanish is correct.
We are heading to the beach again tomorrow for four days (just in case you are wondering why the blog is silent) and are trying to get eat things that might spoil before we go. Tonight's dinner was comprised of many things we had in the fridge.
The platter, or bandeja, contained sirloin steak marinated in a cumin, garlic, paprika rub topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions, tejadas (fresh sliced plantains), garlic and onion black beans and fresh garden salad topped with a raspberry vinaigrette.
We made this dinner very quickly after a grueling 45 minute jog to Fort McHenry. Johnnycakes took control of the pre-rubbed steak, and mushrooms and onions while I prepared the black beans and onions, garden salad and the tejadas were a team effort.
The result? A "muy delicioso" variety platter, or bandeja, that featured a lot of Latin influenced flavors. What a feast!

It isn't as rare as you think. In the State of Texas, it is legal and becoming more popular. I currently home educate two children that are not my own.
My oldest graduates from High School this week (ackkk) and my youngest is a Sophomore in High School. They are both independent learners and rarely need my assistance. A weekly narration on the literature and history that was read that week with my youngest is the toughest thing we do. I also drive him to an outside science class and pick up the books from the library. I was becoming quite accustomed to having free time on my hands. To all you parents who are working hard with your elementary students, hang in there. Teaching them to be independent learners who are responsible for their assignments pays heaping rewards in High School and beyond. Don't miss out on this!
Starting over with two new students has been a challenge. Firstly, these are not my children and the parent's wishes and curriculum choices may not be my own. Lots of prayer, listening and love has gotten us through this first year. I started out the year with the kindergarten student in September. His brother, who was in 8th grade, followed after Christmas break.
The kindergarten student needed a lot of attention at first. I am teaching him to be a more independent learner even at this early age. I try to walk away from the kitchen table after reading the instructions for his Math-U-See page. I check his work and give him praise for his excellent work and gentle correction for any errors. This builds confidence that he can tackle a task on his own.
Since adding his brother after Christmas, I sometimes need a block of time to check work or give some instruction to the older student. I am teaching him to play by himself without my having to initiate a game or giving ideas for projects. The phrase "go keep yourself busy" was initially followed with some instruction on what he could do to keep himself busy (play Legos, play with other toys, read a book, play outside, do an art project...). Now, I don't have to give suggestions. He already knows what he can do. When I catch him keeping himself busy, I give him praise.
We still play together a lot during the day. We play games, go outside in the garden, go for a walk, to the library, to the park, read a book, study a science subject he is interested in... He still needs and should get a lot of face-time with me. All children need blocks of undivided attention of a parent/teacher during the day. Home education affords the luxury of giving one-on-one attention to a student. Looking him in the eyes as he talks. Not interrupting a thought or idea. Letting him discover an answer on his own without interjecting. These are all important and NECESSARY to children. Charlotte Mason is an excellent resource on this.
His older brother has a lot of bad habits from public school I am helping him improve. His mother and I talk and text daily regarding progress, problems and ideas. She is currently in nursing school and her time is at a premium. She is doing her own studying but her children remain her priority. She is amazing!
We initially started out homeschooling with mom's curriculum choices. They were a public school curriculum that was mostly written for charter schools. The writers were family friends of hers and she had personally worked through the curriculum herself as a student. While the curriculum would work for some students, it wasn't working well for hers. She recognized that early and pulled the plug. We then tested and placed him in Math-U-See, a curriculum that worked well for my boys (with different learning styles). He went from an "F" student to an "A" student in short order. We stepped him back a bit to ensure that the basics were covered. That means that he will be playing catch-up this summer and continuing his math during the summer months this year.
We also changed curriculum in history and literature. I am doing Tapestry of Grace with my youngest, so he just jumped in where we were in history and literature. Narration is a new concept to him. He is coming along very well. It also was a bonus for my youngest to have someone to talk with about what he had read. It has been helpful all around.
Science was a challenge. After finding out he has a passion for all things fast, we made a visit to our local customization and racing guru. We had a personal tour of the shop. I am currently on the hunt for an engine of any kind for him to tear apart. I also had him do the TOPS science unit on Electricity. He needed a little more hands-on from me than I anticipated, but it was a fun unit. He'll do another book from this series next year. His dad will also give him some private car repair lessons.
I think my hardest challenge is getting him to recognize that he has to change the way he thinks about school. I am not the enemy or someone to try and fool. It isn't about trying to skate by with the minimum work. It is seeing that the school work has purpose. It is about fulfilling his passion that the Lord has placed in his heart. I am seeing a glimmer of that, but we aren't there yet. I pray that the Lord works on him in the coming months.
I am also careful to give my own sons my attention. I recognized a little jealously in my youngest son early on. We now have lunch "dates" by ourselves and that is helping. I also try to stop in his room and sit down while he plays a video game and make inquiries. He loves to give me some insider information on whatever game he is playing. I explained to him that the other students need some extra attention right now as they get settled into homeschooling. He is old enough to understand this and some of the tension he was feeling has been released.
It has been a challenge for me and my schedule. My paralegal work has suddenly picked up and now I go into an actual office two days a week. So I juggle everything and some things suffer. I am looking at a very dusty floor right now. My blog hasn't been touched in a while. My book writing has suffered. It is all worth it when I hear my kindergarten student sound out a word on his own. When my new student expounds on a literature book he thoroughly enjoyed. When they open up and share their passions. My students are beautiful treasures and I am so blessed to share my time with them.

Is there ANY sane or rational reason why "Democratic" President Barack Obama sticks with his failed and disastrous "economics" crew, men who are only a half-step in front of scandals, men - Larry Summers, Rahm Emanuel, Tim Geithner among others - with a long trail of financial DISASTER and ECONOMIC RUIN behind them?
Does Mr. Obama not realize that THE ONLY PEOPLE in the entire world who have good things to say about Tim Geithner, Ben Bernanke, and Lawrence Summers, are the Goldman Sachs, JPM, and Citi banksters (et al) (read, Robert Rubin allies still standing on Wall Street) who have benefitted from the vast transfer of wealth from the public, to the big banksters, over the past few years?
Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner don't even make a (Rahm Emanuel or Joe Lieberman-esque) FARCE of PRETENDING to be "Democratic" - they are both not only unrepentent Republicans, but they are both Radical Right-Wing "Deregulation," secrecy, and no-oversight Phil Gramm, Ken Lay, and Dick Armey style Republicans.
MR. Obama, after spending all of 2008 pledging and promising "Change!" to millions of American voters, has placed TWO Radical Right-Wing Republicans - George W. Bush ECONOMY-KILLING RETREADS Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner at that - back in to the 2 most important financial positions in the American economy - this is not "change" - it is more of the same, on steroids!
For shame, Mr. Obama!
You'd better get yourself OUT of your self-imposed GOLDDAMN-SACHS White House BUBBLE, QUICK! At ONE year into your administration, you have made vast swaths of the American public FORGET about the Bush-Cheney administration follies. At this rate, at 2 years into your administration, you will be MORE reviled and detested than Mr. Bush was, after 8 years in office, when he departed your inauguration in a helicopter last years to thousands of boos, whistles, and catcalls!

Libby had her first day of 4-year-old preschool yesterday! She was so excited! She woke up bright and early at 7 AM. {That's early for her considering she doesn't go to school until 10:30.} She had a
very nutritious breakfast which consisted of a big cinnamon bun, juice and a note from me.
She was the most excited about taking her lunch to school, since she has never eaten lunch at school before. She requested a peanut butter sandwich, grapes, cookies and apple juice. So, that's what she got!
She has the sweetest, most loving teacher, Ms. Laura and some sweet friends that she knew from last year in her class. She will go Monday-Friday from 10:30- 1:30.
Here are some pictures from our photo shoot at the front door.
I may or may not have shed a few tears when I dropped her off. It just seems so "big kid" to drop her off in a carpool line. Especially at such a "big kid" school. {She goes to AEEC, where you go when you are in Kindergarten.} I'm going to be a mess the first day of Kindergarten. Thank goodness we have another year before that!
The theme this week is "All About Me". Libby has a stack of pictures of all her family that she can't wait to show her friends this week!
I dropped her off with a big smile on her face and picked her up with a big smile on her face. I'd say it was a successful first day back to school!

Earlier this week my husband said he can't wait for Christmas time so that I can make him Puppy Chow and I was like why wait?! This is something we usually only ever make around Christmas and I don't really know why. It tastes good all year round! It's very rich so don't eat too much, my husband never seems to remember.

"Jill" is "Elsa" once again.
Shortly after noon Tuesday, Jenna LaFuentes, who lost her
When she saw the cat in its carrier at the Delta Air Lines counter in
"It was wonderful," Andrea Nicholson, a volunteer at the no-kill shelter who helped reunite the pet and owner, said at the airport after the reunion. "At the shelter, Jill always ran from strangers; but not today. She acted like she wanted Jenna to pet her. Jenna is convinced that this is her cat, and we're convinced this is her cat."
Nicholson reported that LaFuentes peeked in the carrier and said to Elsa, "How are you, baby? I thought I'd never see you again."
Just before Katrina hit in August 2005, LaFuentes and her 11-year-old daughter, Destiny Taylor, fled their ground-floor apartment in St. Bernard's Parish and left the gray, tiger- striped Elsa in the care of neighbors upstairs.
But the rising water threatened the upstairs apartment, too; and the neighbors were forced to abandon their home and the cats.
After the storm, LaFuentes searched Web sites for animal shelters that took in animals left homeless by Katrina. In October, she saw a photo of "Jill" on the Dogs & Cats Forever site and was convinced it was Elsa.
Once shelter officials were convinced as well, the reunion was arranged thanks to an anonymous donor who paid LaFuentes' airfare from
Nicholson and Jay Apicella, the shelter director, drove Jill from Port St. Lucie to
Weather in
The good news: Delta waived the $50 pet fee for the flight back to
Nicholson called the reunion "a storybook ending. I wish all the animals we find abandoned could have this happen to them. ... To see something like this makes us feel that we're doing some good."

Former city dweller living on nearby island. Appreciates classical tastes and small town charms. Antique and art collector for years.
Tom purchased this apartment in 2002
Small town character and courtesies and village community in gorgeous unspoiled setting. Easy access to best boating on east coast of America.
Perfect dimensions for easy living. Solid and secure yet at the heart of village. Drive and park to remote parks and gardens, walk to boats, shops and restaurants.
I have had a fabulous week. The apt was great. I really liked not having to use AC. I just the left doors open at night.
I love anything to do with water. So I have done the whale watch, Bay Lady Sailing, the small lighthouse tour. Tomorrow at 12:40 I am taking the other light house tour.
I found out I like the ice cream factory. I really liked the book store uptown. I ate lobster at Fisherman's Wharf. It was very good and I ate chowder at the Chowder House.
I went to East Boothbay and was sure glad I stayed here (instead): So nice to walk everywhere and across the footbridge. The homes are beautiful on Atlantic Ave. I like sitting on the balcony and watching the Harbor. Went to the Botanical Gardens and it was worth the trip.
Hope it's ok if I leave the car parked here til I get back from the lighthouse tour, then I will start home after that. As you can see I am trying to delay going home. Thank you so much Tom
This property has a truly wonderful location overlooking the Boothbay Harbor, with restaurants, shops, and tours all close by the front door. The landlord Tom and 4-legged companion Ruthie were very friendly and helpful and responsive to all our questions and needs. We had relaxing days and busy days depending on our mood. We boiled live lobsters on two nights and they were great. We would recommend that visitors seek out the Maine State Aquarium on Southport Island and the South Maine Botanical Garden which we found to be special places. We couldn't have selected a property which better suited our needs for this week.
Third floor apartment in lovely vintage home. Small balcony overlooking the bay! Everything in walking distance. Just beautiful and not enough time to do everything. Tom was great host with pages of suggestions, and his darling Westie, Ruthie, makes u feel welcome. Highly recommend this venue.
Really amazing weekend. Great place. Clean and friendly. Tom was extremely helpful and we enjoyed every minute
The apartment was just what we expected and wanted. Lots of room, well appointed, just a door step away from food and fun. Good beds and our own parking slot. We had a great relaxing week visiting with relatives and chasing light houses. Will stay again when we are in the area.
Property was very neat and clean and very convenient. Off street parking was a plus, but be ready for 3rd floor walk up to the apartment. We kept the deck doors open every night and never had to use the A/C. House renovation construction across the street was somewhat noisy but only between 8 and 3:30pm. Owner Tom was on site daily and very accessible for questions and recommendations on where to eat and shop. Loved his dog Ruthie!!! The kitchen is small and the stove not easy to cook on, but lots of places to eat all meals within short walking distance. We joined the Boothbay Harbor Country Club for the week and played golf there every day. It is spectacular. Also took our family (maximum 6 people) on a sail on the Sarah Mead, a friendship sloop that leaves from Spruce Point Inn 4 times a day and goes to several lobster traps so the kids can see how lobstering is done. Our grandkids 6 and 10 also loved the Maine Aquarium.
We had a great week in Boothbay Harbor. Our host Tom answered many of our questions and was incredibly helpful. Our property was centrally located where we could walk to everything. It was a great week.
Historic 3 season resort community with winter solitude. A place to finish the book you've had on the bedside forever, and unwind in small town charms. Welcoming locals where you can dress down and experience village life.
