I have 2 cards, one that is for "emergencies" (which is always because I never have money in my account) and another that I simply pay down, and have the card filed away. Between the two of them I have almost 17K in debt and like everyone else in the US right now I can't afford anything. I live off of soup and bread, try not to drive other than to and from work, cut down my tv to the basic channels, wash laundry only after 9, etc etc.
Does anyone have any other ideas to save money, make money, condense, specific cards for my type of situation, or otherwise? I am literally at my wits end and want to see a financial counselor but dont have the money to do that!!!
Start with a budget…. Put the cards in the freezer…… so you can't use them without some serious thought.
Write down what you will bring in for the month. Write down what you MUST spend (rent, utilities, insurance – the every month regular bills) With what is left, budget for food and gas and debt payments.
Spend cash only. When the cash is gone, no more…..
This works. It is not easy. But it works. You simply have to spend less than you earn. There are lots of ways to save money, but the most important one is to make sure every dollar has a home before it arrives in your hands.
Its awful, I know, but I took a second job……then you could make double payments or something to get ahead and be beyond the minimum…..I just work 9-5 on Saturday and Sunday being a cashier, in addition to my regular 9-5- do it for six months and sock all that extra into the card payments…….or try to settle, which isn't good for your credit rating. I ended up trying to settle…
I live in the Bay Area and was supporting my kids and the rent is so high to handle alone I ended up being unable to pay. So I signed up with a debt settlement company and give them an amount I can afford each month…it isn't good for your credit and there can be legal ramifications, but that is what I did. I felt better morally paying something instead of BK. But it is scary. And, since I can't pay much each month, I have been on the settlement program since May 2007, and only one creditor has been settled! The upside is they accept 30-40% of the total.
I think there has to be a period of NOT paying though…and like I said, I haven't paid in over two years, except to the settlement company. You can also settle by yourself, there are sample letters on the Internet…..just negotiate yourself. BUT if you want to keep the cards and the rating, I would get a second job- I did Bed Bath and Beyond, who always needs weekend/evening checker, and I always hear that Starbucks also needs that (and they pay fairly well)…working every day isn't so bad, it can be done! Best of luck.
You're doing whatever you can on the expense side, and it's the income side that needs to grow. Any classes to take to prepare for a bigger job & Income possible?
Credit counseling is free, at least the first initial visit to evaluate your situation. I am in Michigan and used a company called Greenpath. If your employer offers an employee assistance program, they should be able to refer you to a good reputable free credit counselor in your area.
To make extra money, I started cleaning houses part time in the evenings and weekends. I make an extra $400 to $600 a month…..Just an idea for you….
For extra money my son donates plasma twice a week and earns 260.00 a month doing that. I know it's not much but it's a little something and you help others in return.

Antler Size Zero Carry-On Bag
Page 2
First impressions
When I took the Antler Size Zero Cabin Suitcase out of its shipping carton, I was surprised by how light it was. I could pick up the suitcase easily with one finger, and it was noticeably lighter than the two older (and excellent) carry-on bags that I've used in recent years: a Briggs & Riley 21" upright and a TravelPro Crew 5.
I was curious to see how Antler had managed to strip the weight down to 2.4 kilos or just over 5 pounds. One design choice was immediately obvious: The Size Zero Cabin Suitcase doesn't have a side handle or a grip on the bottom. The lack of a side handle isn't likely to be a problem unless the top handle breaks off, but the missing bottom grip could become irritating if you're a frequent business traveler who wrestles the suitcase out of airline luggage bins several times a week. (I'm willing to sacrifice those extras for a lighter bag.)
The outside of the bag has one pocket (compared to the two or three on some carry-on uprights), and it doesn't have an expansion zipper or mechanism. However, a zippered flap protects the retractable handle, which is a nice touch. One of the grips on the main zipper holds a TSA-approved padlock, which can be opened with a master key by security screeners in the U.S.A. and many other countries.
Next, I opened the opened the suitcase. The simple, boxlike interior was fully lined, with a hidden zipper running down the center seam (presumably for easier repairs if the handle's telescoping mechanism needs fixing).
I found a large zippered mesh pouch on one side (handy for extra shoelaces, notebooks, and other small items) and a large mesh zippered pocket in the top flap. The suitcase also had four triangles of elastic that could be hooked together in pairs to keep clothes from spilling out.
Finally, I tried compressing the empty suitcase by kneeling on it with one leg. The sides gave quite a bit (and bounced back after the experiment), but the top and bottom retained their shape, thanks to the arched "flexi-frame" elements that were built into each end of the bag.
I also noticed that the handle, bottom corner protectors, and wheel mounts were attached with sturdy Allen-head bolts. Overall, the Size Zero Cabin Suitcase appeared to be as sturdy as the other name-brand bags that I've used, and it's certainly much stronger than the cheap, flimsily-constructed carry-ons that you might find at a discount store.

The driver of the Jeep, Linda Ghilardi, 46, and her son, Lawrence Jett, 22, both of Holiday Hills, were taken to Centegra Northern Illinois Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead.
The driver of the garbage truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
"The driver of the Jeep lost control on the ice and spun out and the garbage truck had nowhere to go but hit him," said Capt. Joe Foreman of the McHenry Township Fire Protection District.

People are hungry for information concerning their safety of their products; they want to know where they came from, what's in them and the impact they can have on their health and that of their loved ones.
St. Augustine, Florida (PRWEB) May 14, 2014
Stephen and Debbie Longard, 23-year veterans in the network marketing arena, have joined Mommy's Club's mission to make the home a healthier place to raise a family alongside fellow field marketing leaders Mick and Vick Karshner, Russ and Melanie Jones and Mike and Sahi Hernandez. Mommy's Club, a Healthy Home Company, is a member-based buying club that offers an exclusive lineup of personal care, household and health products made from organic, Ecocert and ToxicFree® ingredients, utilizing a direct-retailing approach to educate others on the importance of toxin-free living.
The Longards were first introduced to network marketing as part of their quest to find a way to allow Debbie to stay at home and be a full-time mom. The freedom to be their own boss, work from home and chart their own course through the direct selling industry was appealing, and over the years through consistent commitment, they reached the upper one/tenth of one percentile in the industry. Stephen and Debbie were first attracted to Mommy's Club because of ongoing health challenges Debbie experienced over the past few years.
"We are always looking for simple ways to eat and use natural, plant-based, and chemical-free products, and we're not the only ones. As consumers get educated about major health issues and concerns, more people are seeking better product alternatives, just like we did. People are hungry for information concerning their safety of their products; they want to know where they came from, what's in them and the impact they can have on their health and that of their loved ones. Healthy Home Company makes it easy by providing products made with natural, organic and ToxicFree® ingredients and by providing easy to understand ingredient glossaries and resources so you know exactly what you're getting.
"Stephen and Debbie are committed to people, and have made a lifelong career out of encouraging and lifting others up to their full potential," said Bill Glynn, CEO at Mommy's Club, a Healthy Home Company. "We're honored that our mission to make the home a healthier place continues to attract purpose-driven entrepreneurs like the Longards who are passionate about changing lives and truly making a difference."
About Mommy's Club
Mommy's Club, a Healthy Home Company, is a membership-based buying club that offers personal care products for children and adults, household and body care products made with organic, Ecocert and ToxicFree® ingredients. Mommy's Club is also a business opportunity for those who use and enjoy our products and want to share them with friends and family. We serve as a trusted resource for information on toxin-free living and serve a community of like-minded individuals who want to make the home a healthier place to raise a family.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pastina and cook for half the time recommended on the package. The pasta should still be very firm in the center as it will be cooked more.
Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. (You can prepare the pasta to this point up to 8 hours ahead; refrigerate it until you are ready to finish the dish).
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the garlic and saute until browned. Add the oregano and cook briefly to release its fragrance, then add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the partially cooked pasta, and stir to coat. Add 1 cup stock or broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the Roasted Tomato and Pepper Sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, then stir in the spinach to wilt. Thin, if desired, with some of the reserved pasta water. Remove from the heat, place in serving spoons and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Serve warm.
Note: If you don't have any small pasta shapes in the pantry, you can grind spaghetti in your food processor until it's reduced to short lengths.
Put the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
Smash the tomatoes with your hands and put them and their juice to a large bowl. Add the peppers, garlic, oil, vinegar, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and mix the ingredients well. Pour out onto a shallow baking pan and place the pan on the middle rack of the oven under the broiler for 15 minutes. Give the mixture a good stir and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Puree the mixture in batches in a blender. (Do not fill the blender more than half full and hold a kitchen towel firmly over the blender lid while pureeing. Hot liquids can expand causing the lid the pop off and the hot liquid to splatter.) If not using right away, allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Yield: about 4 1/2 cups

Last week, PETA discovered a disturbing photograph and comments posted on Facebook by Petland employee Elizabeth Carlisle, who worked at the store in Akron, Ohio. The photo shows a grinning Carlisle posing for the camera as she scruffs the bodies of two dead, soaking wet rabbits.
Carlisle admitted to a Facebook friend that she drowned the rabbits, claiming that her manager took the photograph while Carlisle was "swearing at [the rabbits] to just hurry up and die …." Carlisle's comments go on to state that the rabbits had been "attacking and eating each other" and had sustained injuries as a result, including "deep wounds all over," "an eye missing," what Petland staff "suspected was a broken jaw," and paralysis from the waist down—injuries that clearly had taken some time to occur and would not have occurred had proper care and supervision been provided to these animals. But instead of treating the animals or having them humanely euthanized by a veterinarian, Carlisle—and apparently her manager, whom Carlisle claims took the photo—decided to drown the animals.
Petland has long been under fire for buying animals from breeding mills, among other allegations, and PETA routinely receives complaints about deplorable conditions for animals at Petland stores across the U.S. It is clear that Petland has no business selling live animals, period, but in light of this cruelty case, we are renewing our call on Petland Founder Ed Kunzelman and Petland President Frank Diffata to end rabbit sales immediately, as other national pet store chains have recently done.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Buster's Sweet Song
Leiper's Fork, Tennessee
I promised Muffy that Mora would write a song to sell Mr. Crosswire's cars. But Mora refused! Oops. So I had to write it myself.
Luckily, I met Savannah. She's a songwriter, just like her parents. She plays guitar, fiddle, piano, and mandolin (it's like a very small guitar)! She sings, too. She's like a band all by herself!
We're right near Music City - that's another name for Nashville. Country music is very popular here, so Los Viajeros wrote a song called Country is King.
Savannah says that to write a song, first you get inspired by something. Then you take that idea and fill in the details. I told her that pizza inspires me. I'd do almost anything for pizza!
She also said you should sing about your feelings. Well, pizza makes me feel happy, too! I tell you, songwriting is pretty easy - as long as there's pizza around!
We visited a guitar store. There were so many guitars! The owner said that each one sounds a little different. He says that people should choose the guitar that they can have fun with.
We visited the Country Music Hall of Fame, too. We saw Elvis Presley's gold Cadillac. It has everything - even a shoe polisher! I think I might like a gold car one day. Imagine what Muffy would say!
Well, we don't have to imagine anymore. Muffy said that a gold car is SO last century. She says the PLATINUM car is the car of the future. Wow. I had no idea Muffy knew so much about cars.

Joe De Sena, president Siena Wealth Advisory Group, Ameriprise Financial. Years in securities business: 34.
A little over 10 years ago, the parents of a client of ours came to our office to close their son's account. We hadn't heard from them in a while and they gave us the unfortunate news that their son, Michael Magro, had experienced complications from leukemia and passed away.
I saw this as a call to action I was so distraught by the story and for the parents that I decided to help them start the Michael Magro Foundation. We work to make families' lives better while their children are battling this awful disease.
I learned about charity later on in my life, but the great folks and young people on my team learn about it every day and give 100%. As a result, we have helped so many people. It's always been more than just helping people retire. It's about making contributions to their lives in a way that has almost nothing to do with the money. Money is just the vehicle we use to give our clients the best possible quality of life.
When I was about six years old, my uncle took me to Wall Street for the first time. We went to the Chase holiday party, where I had the opportunity to meet the chairman at the time, David Rockefeller. I found myself so awed by how big those buildings were and I was so impressed with being there. That's where it really started for me.
After that trip, my dad would buy stocks even though he worked on the Brooklyn waterfront. When I expressed interest, he told me how he went about it. Years later, I studied at Baruch College and then got my master's degree in finance at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y.
After the start of the Magro Foundation, I began running marathons and half-marathons. We have raised over $1 million dollars. In addition to running marathons, we have written grants that also raise funds for the charity and have put together a resource guide on how to best face the challenges of leukemia. I'm proud to say my whole team here at Siena Wealth Advisory Group was honored at the tenth anniversary of the Michael Magro Foundation at their Evening of Tasting and Giving Event late last year, where we raised over $80,000.
In my practice, we talk about how significance is more important than success. Success is self-focused. Significance is helping other people become successful. A funny thing happens when you realize that: You actually become extraordinarily successful.
As told to Maddy Perkins.

Norwegian PEN, Human Rights House Foundation and Norwegian Helsinki Committee invite you to the conference
Action on Belarus!
Place: House of Literature, Oslo
Time: Thursday 22 March 2012, at 08.30 – 16.00
More than a year has passed since the violent crackdown on protesters on 19 December 2010 in Minsk. Since then, the human rights situation in Belarus has continued to spiral downwards. Political opposition leaders Andrei Sannikov, Mikhail Statkevich and several others remain imprisoned. Human rights organizations and independent media are being harassed. The leading human rights defender Ales Bialiatski has been convicted to a long prison sentence. The European Union takes the lead on action against Belarus, and has imposed sanctions like ban on visa for more than 200 officials and limitations on trade with companies close to the President. Still, there are no signs that President Alexander Lukashenko is planning to unclench his iron fist. Instead, the crisis in the relationship between Belarus and Europe has deepened, and at the same time the doubt about Belarus' ability to save its' internal economy becomes stronger.
Is the pursued policy efficient? Is Norway's policy towards Belarus clear enough? How can we offer more support to freedom-longing Belarusians? And is the Belarusian people ready for a change?

I am trying to clone my failing hard drive to a new hard drive that is the same capacity. I get the error message "The second argument [/dev/sda2] must be a valid device (ex: /dev/hda1)". My image is on a USB external drive which the program recognizes. The computer is running Window 7 - 64 bit and has SATA hard drives. I first tried to restore using the hard drive as it was delivered. After that failed I formated the drive (is listed in Windows explorer) and it failed again. I am using PING 3.01.
What drive is sda2? My system has a second hard drive I use for data and backup. When I made the image I thought I only backed up the boot drive which is what I am trying to back up. Did I make an image of both drives?
Any ideas?

Hello, my name is Shaun Lee and I am a business advisor, BaZi and Feng Shui consultant. My passion is to use my skills, knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship, marketing and Chinese Metaphysics to help you succeed in your personal and business endeavors.
As a business advisor, I am the person whom you can bounce off thoughts and ideas, help develop a new business direction, help address ongoing problems, or simply to provide an independent, honest and unbiased opinion. This is extremely important because you may be lonely at the top, or if you are surrounded by yes-men who will never contradict you. Taking your interests very seriously, I can be your honest, reliable and insightful advisor.
As a BaZi consultant, I help individuals, teams and business owners discover their true inborn characters, strenghths, weaknesses and other innate potential. Life does not come with an instruction manual, and so many of us are clueless how to channel our best efforts in doing things we are strong at, and avoid spending too much time and effort on things we are weak at. All these will become clear after I read your BaZi or birth chart.
As a Feng Shui consultant, my role is to help create a harmonious living environment for home owners, and a conducive working environment for business owners. This is important because our environment can either support us or drain us out. I will identify the existing Qi (or energy) flows in the home or business premises, and then propose suitable adjustments to capture the beneficial Qi, and to prevent bad ones from sabotaging you and other occupants.
Some of my happy clients have written a thank-you note to me.
Have a question?
If you're not ready to make an appointment, feel free to send me a message below.
Free Consultation
A no-obligation consultation provides the opportunity to discuss your needs and see how we can work together.
Timely Response
I understand how valuable your time is, so I strive to respond to all messages as soon as possible.
Rest assured that all the information you provide here and during consultation will be kept strictly confidential.

"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."
~ W.B. Yeats
Do You Believe in Magic?
Two weeks ago, I featured a recipe called Mackerel in Magic Sauce, because the sauce was so delicious, it transformed the fish. But the true test of a magic sauce is if it does the same for many different recipes. So, I put this one to the test on a beef, broccoli and pineapple stir fry. Result? Again, one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Magic Sauce is well-named! If you use it in other recipes, please let me know. What should I try it on next?
The Power of Sulfur
Dr. Terry Wahls recommends we eat 3 cups sulfur-rich vegetables daily, and this meal has you covered with broccoli, cauliflower and garlic all falling into this category. Why are these vegetables so important? Sulfur is involved in hundreds of biological processes in our bodies and is particularly important in supporting our natural detoxification pathways. In the past century, over 80,000 new chemicals have been released into the environment and no matter how careful we are, we can't avoid them all. We are all toxic to some degree, and thankfully our body is set up to detoxify daily. The problem is that those systems were never intended to process the amount of toxins we are faced with today. There's medicine in our groundwater, pollutants in the air, and plastic in our bloodstream. I know that sounds scary, but there are also sulfur-rich vegetables available to eat, and they really are medicinal foods. They boost our bodies' ability to detoxify more toxins, more efficiently.
Magic Sauce Ingredients
1/3 cup coconut aminos
1/3 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
8 thin slices peeled fresh ginger
zest of 1 lemon
4 garlic cloves (crushed)
Stir Fry Ingredients
3 Tbsp. coconut oil (divided)
1 lb. beef (either sirloin tips or your favorite steak cut into bite-size pieces)
1 large bunch broccoli (cut into florets)
2 cups pineapple chunks
Mashed Cauliflower Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower (cut into florets)
4 cloves garlic (peeled)
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp. sea salt
- Put the magic sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat & simmer 10 minutes uncovered, then turn off heat. Use slotted spoon to remove garlic & ginger. Cover pan to keep warm.
- Steam the cauliflower florets with 4 whole garlic cloves until tender, then turn off heat.
- Stir Fry: Melt 1 Tbsp. coconut oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry beef pieces for 2-3 minutes, until both sides are browned & meat is cooked. Transfer beef to the pan with the magic sauce & melt another Tbsp. coconut oil in skillet. Add broccoli. Toss to coat evenly with oil and cook 2-3 minutes. Add ¼ cup water and cover pan, steaming broccoli to desired level of tenderness (2-5 minutes more). Transfer broccoli to pan with magic sauce & beef. Melt final Tbsp. coconut oil in skillet & add pineapple. Fry 1 minute each side until browned, and then transfer to magic saucepan.
- Use a large spoon to stir everything in the saucepan, until all is coated evenly with the magic sauce.
- Finish making the mashed cauliflower: Put the cooked cauliflower and garlic in the food processor, along with 3 Tbsp. of olive oil and ½ tsp. salt . Process until smooth.
- Serve stir fry & sauce on top of the mashed cauliflower
- Note: If you're like me and cook with garlic often, this little kitchen tool makes peeling cloves easy, which makes me a happier cook.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
Arrange the peppers, carrots, parsnips, broccoli and beets in rows to create a rainbow of colors on a large baking sheet. Scatter the thyme sprigs over the vegetables and drizzle with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until the vegetables are tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Drizzle the Balsamic Glaze over the vegetables and serve.
In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.

Anne Hathaway has vowed to boost the coffers of her favorite charities by donating the money she received for selling her wedding photographs.
The Dark Knight Rises star walked down the aisle with her fiance Adam Shulman last month (Sep12), and sold several happy pictures of their big day to selected media outlets.
The profits raised from the sale will go to good causes, including Freedom to Marry, which campaigns for gay couples to have the right to wed across the U.S.
Hathaway has backed the legalisation of same-sex marriage since revealing in 2008 that her brother is gay.
The money will also be split between the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and The Girl Effect, which helps impoverished young women.


text: Like Watership Down, Plague Dogs is an animated cartoon feature based on a novel by Richard Adams and produced by Martin Rosen. And also like Watership Down, it is more appropriate for an older audience. Two dogs escape from a British government research lab. As the authorities hunt down the canine fugitives, the two dogs search for their original master and for a place where they'll be free from the iniquities and cruelties of Mankind. Plague Dogs was completed in 1982, but was not released in the US until two years later.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Buffalo Sabres' continued chase for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference will be shown on national television Tuesday night.
Buffalo, which now trails the Carolina Hurricanes by just two points, will visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. ET and can be seen on Versus in the U.S and TSN2 in Canada. Brad Boyes, who was acquired from St. Louis on Sunday night, is expected to make his Sabres' debut.
The Rangers lost backup goaltender Martin Biron to a broken collarbone during Monday's practice. New York is just five points ahead of Buffalo.
Canadian fans will also be treated to two other games -- the Montreal Canadiens visit the Atlanta Thrashers (7 p.m. ET) in a showdown that can be seen on RDS, while the Ottawa Senators-Boston Bruins match from Scotiabank Place will be shown on TSN. That game begins at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Cascada de Flores "Radio Flor" a Tropical Music Gem
For me, the small Latin folk musical group called Cascada de Flores has been a delicious discovery of retro acoustic music with Mexican and Caribbean roots.
As they say in the liner notes of "Radio Flor", their 4th album, this is a trip back in time to our grandparents' living room, where the radio is booming with great music and the occasional humorous voice ads. "Radio Flor" is a trip into nostalgia, into our musical past and heritage, but with the respect and elegance that it deserves.
The nostalgia trips include the radio broadcasts of the 1st part of the 20th century, when radio shows preceded TV shows. Cascada de Flores captured the essence of those radio shows by recording live, with the full ensemble playing together in the recording studio. What a great idea this turned out to be! I loved the way the music sounds and the evident love with which each musician performs, which permeates through the speakers and into your ears.
The Cascada de Flores ensemble is based in the U.S. west coast Bay Area, and it's integrated by:
Arwen Lawrence: voice, rhythm guitars & dance
Jorge Liceaga: voice, lead guitars
Saul Sierra-Alonso: double bass, leoncita & chorus
Marco Díaz: trumpet, piano, & chorus
Brian Rice: percussion and chorus
And "Radio Flor" is all of that; a trip to nostalgia, by the music, by the instruments, by the love and passions in each song performed, just like it was in yesteryear; in the years of our "abuelos"!
A Great Acoustical Latin Music Trip trough Mexico and the Caribbean
"Radio Flor" cozy acoustic interpretation of timeless Latin music classics is refreshing to the ears.
Great acoustical music – this small ensemble of traditional Mexican and Cuban music is just mesmerizing. You can't help but love the "unplugged" sound of the Cascada de Flores ensemble. The fact that they record "live" all together gives its music a lot of authenticity.
Varied Song Selection – "Radio Flor" contains 13 songs and 5 well spread "Radio Clips", each of which resembles a piece of a old radio broadcast in between live performed songs. These "radio clips" provide "Radio Flor" a nice ambience of this being a true broadcast from the past; a reminder of the album's theme.
The songs cover music mostly from Mexico and Cuba, although I did notice a Dominican merengue rhythm in "Jardinero de Amor". The rest of the songs vary in Latin music genre, from rancheras/corrido, boleros, son, danzón, and even haupango. The song selection, from song writers like José Antonio Mendez and Agustín Lara, is fantastic.
Great singing – beyond having a beautiful voice, Arwen can give each song the right tone of happiness, romanticism by the passion with which she sings. At times, her enunciation reminds me of the late Eydie Gormé.
My Favorite Song - I liked many songs in "Radio Flor", but "With a Song in My Heart", the only American song in the album, wins me over. This song showcases the talent and creativity in the Cascada de Flores group. The song is a 1929 tune from a Broadway musical, that since has been songs by many and even a film was made after it. But…what Cascada de Flores does differently is that it converts it majestically into a beautiful Danzón, in a way that the core of the song doesn't loose it's original essence, and its mixed with the Caribbean flavor the album theme has. The only Danzón in the album is performed excellently by these West Coast ensemble.
Video "With a Song in My Heart" (Danzón):
As I said, this is my favorite song in the album, and I was fortunate to find a video of Cascada de Flores performing it.
Additional Opportunities for "Radio Flor"
Expand to other Latin American music classics – the only opportunity I see missed in "Radio Flor" is that it does not include a more broad song selection from other Latin countries. With their very same format, Cascade de Flores could easily include songs from the Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Central and South American songbook. I assume that perhaps they focus on songs from Mexico and Cuba because of their ancestry, but including 2 or 3 songs form other countries may grant them more followers from other Latin music fans.
"Radio Flor" is an Enjoyable Latin Music Album
"Radio Flor" is the 4th album for the Bay Area ensemble Cascada de Flores.
I highly recommend "Radio Flor" to those that like old Latin American music. The boleros, the danzón, the corridos; everything sounds incredibly authentic, and you can feel the love, passion, and talent this small "unplugged" ensemble brings to the recording!
I just discovered Cascada de Flores with their 4th album"Radio Flor", which was sent to me to write a review blog for you. Now I can't wait to go find and listen to the other 3 albums they have, "13 Historias" (2009), "Mi Sueño" (2007), and "Puente a la Mar" (2002).
This Sunday morning I'm putting on "Radio Flor" to start my day relaxing with this beautiful music!

Sibling Ambivalence
An interview with researcher and the director of the More Fun with Sisters and Brothers program, Laurie Kramer. Laurie explained that siblings don't only feel rivalry and competition, they also have times of fun and connection. She suggested that parents attempts at conflict resolution often result in separating the kids. Rather than minimizing conflict which will be ubiquitous, Dr. Kramer argues that parents should find ways to increase the amount of time spent in having fun together. It is the ration of fun to conflict that matters most. Her program teaches siblings core skills of taking each other's perspective, managing their own strong emotions and not assuming the worst about the other's intention. She teaches kids to Stop-Think and Talk as a way to get out of conflict. She also teaches sibs ways to engage in play with each other that is fun.

How to find the perfect axe
Chopping axes
See just how quick and effective cutting wood can be with a chopping axe featuring a sleek, perfectly balanced design with a special low-friction coating and an ultra-sharp edge. Streamlined for horizontal cuts into trunks and branches, this axe will help you to take it down and section it up faster.
Safe splitting technique
The safe usage of axe requires correct splitting block height, sturdy standing position and controlled splitting technique. NOTE: Always wear safety googles, long trousers and high shaft shoes or boots.
How to safely split logs
If your splitting block is too low and you miss the log, you'll have less time to react. This is because of the shorter distance and the direction of the axe swing. These factors increase the potential of serious injury to your legs, so always make sure your splitting block is high enough.
How to sharpen your axe
The easiest way to sharpen your axe is by using our Xsharp sharpener. Firstly, choose the angle for your axe blade, and then do between three to five even, horizontal strokes. To make sure the blade is sharp enough, simply see if you can carve a mark on the surface of a log.
How to split logs with one strike
To ensure you split your logs faster and more efficiently, be sure to avoid brank marks. Where possible, always target on cracks that are already visible. This way you'll get a lot more one strike splits.
How to use a sappie when splitting logs
It's easy to tire your arms and back when splitting logs. By using your sappie to lift logs onto the block you can save yourself from unnecessary aches and strains. Once you need to use your axe, you can simply stick your sappie into the side of the block.

Powerade is a sports drink designed to rehydrate the body by adding electrolytes. Powerade mix comes in vibrant colors, making it ideal for dying hair. The process requires 1/2 cup of mix, 1/2 cup of water, two glass bowls, a wooden spoon, petroleum jelly, an old towel and a plastic cap.Continue Reading
Pour water into the glass bowl, and heat it to boiling in the microwave. Pour the Powerade into the other glass bowl. Gradually add the water to the powder until it's the consistency of toothpaste.
Put on old clothes that can be ruined. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline to prevent the Powerade dye from staining your skin. Put on a pair of gloves.
Section the hair, and apply the dye from roots to ends using your fingers. Rub the paste so that it penetrates the hair. Keep the application steady to ensure an even finish of color.
Cover your hair completely with a shower cap. For best results, process the color overnight; leave the Powerade dye on for a minimum of 1 hour.
Use cool water, flushing your hair until the water runs clear. Wash and condition your hair as usual. Use shampoo for colored hair to maintain the dye as long as possible.

If you're looking for screwball comedy with a sassy characters, I like Janet Evanovich, Harlan Coben and Elmore Leonard. For tightly drawn suspense, there's Lee Child, Walter Mosley and Lisa Scottolione. Happy reading.
The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag, I think by Alan Bradley, Thus Was Adonis Murdered, by Sarah Caudwell; Margery Allingham, the Inspector Morse series by Dexter, to name a few of my favorites.
For Beginners in mysteries, these should help:
An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by PD James.
The Bridesmaid by Ruth Rendell
Any books by John Dickson Carr & Agatha Christie
I fell in love with Poison for the Prince: An Italian Renaissance Mystery,and all the other novels in the Sigismondo series of novels by Elizabeth Eyre. That's actually a pen name for 2 authors: Jill Staynes and Margaret Storey. While reading them, I sometimes envisioned Bruce Willis playing the lead character. The other book titles follow the same naming pattern: Curtains for the Cardinal, Death of a Duchess, Axe for an Abbott. I discovered them by perusing the library.
This whodunnit's lead character is sort of a blend of Sherlock Holmes, MacGyver and James Bond.

Design Guidelines RFP
Request for Proposals: Consultant Services for Development of Design Guidelines (pdf)
Ten (10) copies of the proposals and one digital copy on CD or flash drive are required, to be delivered on or before 3PM on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 to:
Jeanette Rebecchi, Planning Department
Town Hall, Ground Floor
525 Washington Street
Wellesley, MA 02482
The Town's coordinator responsible for coordinating actions and for responding to all questions will be Jeanette Rebecchi. Her contact information is as follows:
Jeanette Rebecchi, Planner
(T) 781-431-1019 x2237
(E) email@example.com
No questions regarding this RFP will be answered over the phone. Any questions regarding this RFP should be emailed to Jeanette Rebecchi before 4:30pm on Friday, February 23, 2018. Any submitted questions and responses will be posted on this webpage as questions are received, and prior to the RFP due date.
Question 1
We are reviewing the RFP issued for the Design Guidelines in Wellesley and were hoping to get additional information regarding the Town's expectation for the final product. Specifically, is the Town anticipating the final product to be essentially an update in the general style of the existing Design Guidelines Handbook or is the expectation to expand and update the Design Guidelines Handbook in the style of, for example, the Westborough, MA design guidelines, which details specific architectural features and designs, as opposed to including more general architectural examples of "do's and don'ts".
Response: The Town would anticipate the new Guide would generally be more visual/illustrative. However, the style and content of the Design Guidelines would primarily be dictated by what is uncovered during the development phase (RFP Section 3.1). It is also worth calling attention to RFP Section 3.2. The Town is requesting both (advisory) design guidelines, and recommendations for (codified) design standards. (posted 1/24/2018 @ 12:02PM)
Question 2
May the proposal for Design Guidelines response combine the scopes for Historic Preservation and the general Design Guidelines (for new construction)?
Response: Consultants can certainly submit responses to both proposals. However, the RFPs are overseen by two separate bodies (Design Review Board and Historic District Commission). If the same consultant is selected for both projects, two separate stand-alone documents will have to be produced. (posted 2/12/2018 @ 1:40PM)
Question 3
Both RFP's look for recommendations for regulatory changes based on the Guidelines. However, the scope of work does do not actually ask for the specific language to be incorporated into the By-Laws and the process by which that is accomplished. Is this correct?
Response: It is our expectation that the selected consultant would develop a list of recommended By-Law changes without drafting the specific regulatory language. (posted 2/12/2018 @ 1:40PM)

Community Action Marin today named Tommy Toy as the grand prize winner of its third-annual Dream House Raffle.
This year's "dream house" is a 3,200 square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath home in Larkspur. The house boasts views of Mt. Tamalpais and San Francisco Bay, and includes a private elevator.
Toy has the option of choosing to take either the home or $1.6 million in cash, according to Community Action Marin, which is based in San Rafael.
More than 300 other raffle participants from around the Bay Area are also set to receive cash prizes ranging from $300 to $25,000, according to the agency.
Community Action Marin - which runs 15 programs for low-income residents in Marin County, including mental-health and early childhood development services - began selling raffle tickets for $150 each in September.
"This raffle funds CAM's social service programs, which make a big difference in the lives of Marin County's families in need," Russell Hamel, CAM's director of development, said in a statement.
Though the amount raised by this year's Dream House Raffle was not disclosed, last year's raffle brought in $1.3 million for the agency.
"We all win when we're able to help low-income Marin residents achieve self-sufficiency," Hamel said.

Just two weeks ago, we received the surprise announcement that the million-acre sanctuary proposed for Madeleine Pickens for the 30,000 wild horses and burros held in captivity by US authorities has hit a snag.
The National Wild Horse Foundation founded by Madeleine Pickens to help drive the proposal has been told by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that federal land being considered for part of the sanctuary cannot be used because the government does not want wild horses in areas where they did not exist when the Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act was enacted.
This is OUR backyard and we CAN stop it.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) created the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act in 1971. The Act was created with the hope of managing healthy herds of wild horses and burros on healthy Western rangelands. A key responsibility of the BLM is to determine the appropriate management level of these wonderful animals, insuring a balanced existence with other public rangeland resources and uses.
This means, 33,000 symbols of the Western spirit will be harshly reduced or contained.
Can WE just stand still and do nothing?
The BLM's main reason? They believe wild horses and burros consume unfair amounts of forage on BLM land. On March 3, 2009, it was stated by a BLM representative that the forage depletion on public lands leaves cattle with nothing to eat. Contrary to that statement, a Wild Horse Ecologist, Craig C. Downer, of Nevada, stated in his speech (Wild Horse Speech With Tables And Charts, Wild Horse Summit, Las Vegas, Nevada, October 2008) that wild horses and burros only consume a mere 5.6% of the forage consumed by livestock on BLM land.
In order to restore the 'needed balance,' thousands of these innocent wild horses and burros are 'gathered' from the public rangelands on a yearly basis. They are held in captivity, which is costly, and then offered up for sale and adoption to individuals or groups who are in a position to be 'providing a humanitarian home.' The ones who are not taken are slaughtered.
Can WE just stand still and do nothing?
The use of the word 'gather' is a grossly underestimated term of the word. This isn't a kumbaya moment with ranchers herding wild horses and burros over a period of a few days or weeks, with campfires and sleeping under the stars until they all reach their final destination. It's done violently with helicopters. In James Kleinert's classic DVD "Saving America's Horses," the images of round-ups with helicopters are brutal, horrific, and depict animal deaths occurring from stress and foals getting trampled, while others suffer vicious limb breaks.
Can WE just stand still and do nothing?
A business plan proposed by Madeleine Pickens and the National Wild Horse Foundation has been set forth to save the Government approximately $1 billion over a decade while 'providing a humanitarian home' for these 33,000 horses in captivity. The expected holding costs for the BLM in 2009 are $33 million, and in 2014 it is estimated to be $85 million. Madeleine Pickens' plan to form a single very large wild horse and burro sanctuary would save taxpayers as much as $700 million, which would otherwise be used on holding pens and pastures until 2020. This business plan will help unravel the problem that the BLM has created in gathering horses off the range land at the tax payers expense.
Can YOU just stand still and do nothing?
Stop this trail of carnage and public waste! The National Wild Horse Foundation needs your help before it's too late to save these magnificent animals and a part of our American heritage.
With Gratitude,
Madeleine Pickens,President
National Wild Horse Foundation
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

On International Workers Day, we highlight a new report that focuses on older people's livelihoods in developing countries.
Making a living last longer shows the significant barriers older people around the world face in trying to make a living.
Debt and lack of access to microfinance and microcredit are some of the biggest challenges.
Its findings show older people's strategies for making a living include working, taking out loans from both formal and informal sources, receiving money from children and other family members, and begging.
Despite the international-feted successes of microfinance institutions and banks, older people have had only limited access to these credit and savings facilities.
Instead older people have to rely on loans, though reluctantly, from moneylenders and pawnbrokers.
Fear of debt
The study found a universal fear among older people of violent reprisals or repossession of assets for non-payment of loans.
In Ethiopia, one older man told us: "We will not borrow from them because we are fearful of repercussions for late or non-payment and the loss of our reputation if we are not able to repay."
Older people from Tanzania, agreed, explaining they are reluctant to approach formal lending institutions: "We are afraid to approach them because some days we go without a meal, so how can we possibly repay? We are afraid of being imprisoned if we cannot repay."
One older person in Bihar, India said: "If you are unable to repay a loan, you are as good as dead."
Susan Erb, the report's author said: "High rates of interest, strict and inflexible repayment conditions, monthly service charges, and high minimum loan amounts (by banks in particular) exclude older people from using formal institutions."
Older women and widows left out
The report also confirmed that the burden of securing a sustainable livelihood was felt most keenly by widowed women.
For example in investigating informal lending between neighbours, the report's author found that in India, Tanzania and Bangladesh women were consistently unable to access the same loan amounts as men.
Older women reported that loans taken from neighbours by men were up to 10 times higher than those taken by women.
One size does not fit all
The report highlighted evidence that cash transfers and pensions offer vital support for older people and can help them to diversify their opportunities by providing income to buy assets or for investing in their businesses.
But pensions were only a partial solution - the findings indicated that pensions were typically not large enough to be the full answer.
Older people's associations were one avenue through which older people improved their opportunities to achieve a sustainable livelihood.
The study concludes that there is no single form of livelihood intervention that is appropriate for all older people.
"Interventions aimed at improving older people's livelihoods must vary according to location, situation, and older people's preferences and priorities," says Astrid Walker-Bourne HelpAge International's Head of Policy.
The study was conducted by HelpAge International, Cordaid and partners and involved 1,000 older men and women in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India and Tanzania.
