Why BB?
I'm doing this, because I became a software engineer through a program like this. Since then the prices have gone up. Big money has gotten involved. Bootcamps have tried to expand. Bootcamps have tried to go online. Bootcamps have tried to become profitable enough to please Wall Street, pay an ever expanding staff, and give founders license to enter the world of tech heroes.
I can offer a lower price, because of the location, and because I'm not trying to 'scale'. I have a career as a software engineer. I'm running Bogotá Bootcamp, because before I ever wanted to become a Rails professional I wanted to teach. I coach water polo at night. On the weekends I tutor beginners in Ruby. I am a lifelong educator, schooled in Human Development, Education Theory, and Software Engineering. I have the teaching experience and skills to get you not just a new job, but the skills to get a new series of jobs.
Some of you will become Rails developers. Some will use skills learned from the Rails to work with Java, to work on a Product team, to become a digital nomad, to create your own start up, to become techinically literate in a new way. The choice will be yours.
Do you need a full time program? Yes. You can't learn to dive in shallow water. Until you devote yourself full time you're note going to make it. The great thing about going somewhere new is that it lets you focus yourself fully on the task at hand.
Where will you be in 10 weeks if you don't take this course? in 10 months? in 10 years? What change are you making that's big enough to give you the money and career you want?
You don't have to be Bill Gates to learn to program. You just have to make the leap to take a few months to learn. Join us at Bogotá Bootcamp. Let's make it happen.

Officials, investors eye wind projects
Provincetown officials are interested in developing wind energy and a potential group of investors say they'd like to make something happen.
Wind energy is on the selectmen's Jan. 28 agenda for a possible meeting with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, which awards grants for renewable energy projects. One pending $30 million proposal would erect 10 turbines in the median strip of the town-owned section of Route 6, as described by artist Thanassi Kuliopulos during public comment at the selectmen's Dec. 10 meeting.
Kuliopulos, a member of the Provincetown Economic Development Council, said he has a group of "very interested investors."

Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey, WELCOME!
I often find myself in conversations where people want to go deeper into questions of faith; explore the Lectionary texts, culture, or themes raised from my preaching; or engage in thoughtful conversations about responding to issues of social justice in our current context. I also encounter the deep and abiding desire many have to know Jesus, the movement he began which is rooted in love of God and love of neighbor, and to connect in meaningful ways to God and others.
These are the conversations I am making room for on this site. Conversations you are invited to be a part of. Whether you have been traveling the path of faith for a long time; are just beginning; or returning after time away; welcome. If you come with many questions and are unsure of your faith; welcome. If you struggle with the injustices of the world and how to respond; welcome. If you already are engaged in holy resistance to injustice and oppression; welcome.
Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey, WELCOME! I invite you to love the questions and know we are on this journey together. May we discover deeper meaning, vibrant faith, and a more just and peaceful world.
Please take some time to explore the offerings on this site, participate where you may find the most meaning, and engage in the community we are forming. I'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to contact me.

Since yesterday afternoon, Stuart JACKSON and his crew have barrelled down the middle of the course and could soon be in the mix with the top three, who appear to be taking turns to set the pace! Currently lying on the rhumb line, they have the luxury of heading east or west, depending on the approaching weather, without deviating too far from their desired course.
VAIO sneaked ahead of SAIC La Jolla last night and held a marginal lead until Samsung regained control this morning, but a lead of 3nm may well disappear by this afternoon.
The low-pressure system to the west is blowing a southwesterly onto the leading pack out west, ending the reaching conditions they had been enjoying as they tack into the wind, with the leading three yachts still only separated by 7nm.
After the wind acceleration zone gamble hinted at a reprieve for the easterly pack yesterday afternoon, the prize for the 'islanders' was, unfortunately, light winds and slow sailing.
David MELVILLE answered the question that supporters of BP Explorer may have been asking themselves in good humour in his daily log today:
"Well I suppose you would all like to know how you take a boat from first to the back of the pack in a few days. The answer is to take a holiday in the canaries."
"The only consolation was that we were not on our own. For most of this time Spirit of Sark were within close sight. First and second favourites, according to the bookies anyway, stuck behind an island where they should know better - ridiculous."
He went on to explain that the team had always "really rated BG SPIRIT and Spirit of Sark" so they decided to follow them through the islands "in a kind of collective madness!"
However, now that BG SPIRIT, Spirit of Sark and BP Explorer have passed through the islands they may gain from gradually increasing following winds nearer the coast.
The advantage has been firmly with the westerly yachts for some time, so a gain for the easterly pack after they sailed "oh so slowly" through the Canaries, according to David MELVILLE, will be an important psychological boost for the skippers and crews alike.
There is approximately 300nm to go until the trade winds traditionally bestow 15-20 knots of wind and daily runs of up to 180nm. Although the fleet is in two clear packs as they sail past the west coast of Morocco, the leg is only 11 days old and the teams still have to cross the doldrums, so first place in Buenos Aires is still a possibility for the whole fleet.

Press release
Revised charges to improve Dartford crossing
Dartford-Thurrock crossing improvements one step closer.
Plans to tackle congestion and deliver future improvements at the Dartford-Thurrock crossing have taken an important step forward as Road Minister Mike Penning today (22 May 2012) announced changes to the crossing charges.
The change to the charges will help deliver a package of extensive improvements. The minister re-affirmed the government's commitment to introduce free-flow charging to tackle congestion and improve journey times at the crossing. He also confirmed work continues on analysing the options for a new Lower Thames crossing, following the commitment made in the 'Autumn statement'.
The minister also announced that the Department for Transport will carry out a full review of the local residents' discount scheme to consider how this can be improved and take-up increased. He will be inviting local MPs to a meeting to discuss this shortly.
From October 2012, cash charges for car users will increase by 50 pence, with proportionate increases for other vehicles. The crossing will remain free for motorcyclists, and discounts for local residents and drivers who pay in advance will continue. Funding from the charge increase will help to pay for free-flow electronic charging - a vital time-saving device that will benefit the millions of motorists that use the crossing every year.
Road Minister Mike Penning said:
The Dartford-Thurrock river crossing is a vital piece of transport infrastructure that has brought huge economic benefits to the country. But currently it can't meet the growing demands of drivers so we need to plan properly for the longer term.
That's why we've given a commitment not only to introduce free-flow charging by the autumn 2014 but also to build a new crossing in the Lower Thames area. We have also listened carefully to what people have said about our proposals on charging, which is why charges will not increase until later this year. The proceeds will help us prioritise investment for much-needed improvements to capacity and journey times.
The department has published its formal response to the consultation on proposals to revise the road user charging regime at the crossing. This is part of a package of improvements to develop its performance in the short, medium and longer-term.
As part of the changes, discounts for those paying the crossing charge in advance through the electronic Dart-Tag system will remain. The enhanced discounts provided to local residents will also be retained with no changes to the levels of charges.
In October 2012 the level of cash payments at the crossing will increase from £1.50 to £2 for cars, from £2 to £2.50 for 2 axle goods vehicles, and from £3.70 to £5 for heavy goods vehicles. A second increase will be made at the point that free-flow charging is introduced - currently forecast as October 2014 - to £2.50 for cars, £3 for 2 axle vehicles and £6 for heavy goods vehicles.
The department has published its formal response to the crossing charges consultation.
Notes to editors
A road user charge has been collected at the crossing since 2003 using powers in the Transport Act 2000 with the purpose of managing the high demand for use of the crossing. The Transport Act 2000 also provides that revenues from a road user charge must be spent on transport.
The current charges have been in place since November 2008, which was the first time they were revised since their introduction as a road user charge in 2003. They are set out in the A282 Trunk Road (Dartford-Thurrock Crossing Charging Scheme) Order 2008 (Statutory Instrument 2008/1951).
Changes to some elements of the charging regime require the making of a new charging order in accordance with the procedural requirements set out in Trunk Road Charging Schemes (Bridges and Tunnels)(England) Procedure Regulations 2001 (Statutory Instrument 2001/2303).
The revised charge rates are set out in the table below:
Dartford crossing day charges (6am to 10pm)
Note: no charges apply 10pm to 6am
|Change 2012 (October)
|Change 2014 (October)
|Cash charge
|2 axle goods
|Multi axle goods
|Dart-Tag charge
|2 axle goods
|Multi axle goods
The introduction of free-flow charging at Dartford is being progressed to the following timescale:
- Summer 2012, start procurement process for customer charging and enforcement management services contract.
- Autumn 2012, start public consultation on secondary legislation.
- Winter 2012/13, invite tenders for customer charging and enforcement management services contract.
- Summer 2013, Statutory Instrument laid before parliament.
- Autumn 2013, contract award of customer charging and enforcement management services.
- Summer 2014, technical go-live, controlled testing and integration.
- Autumn 2014, full operation of free-flow charging at Dartford.

Los Angeles' biggest and best Japanese film festival, LA EigaFest, is returning for its fifth year. The event, which takes place this weekend (September 25-27), is coming to LA Live Regal Cinemas in Downtown LA, and features a slate of films that will make you wish you could spend all three days at the movie theatre.
But then again, that's exactly what you can do! The festivities kick off at 7:30 PM Friday night with the North American premiere of Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, the third and final installment of the Kenshin trilogy. The opening film is followed by a Q&A and an after party at the Belasco Theatre.
From there, a litany of awesome movies will be screening at LA Live. Let's do some good old-fashioned bullet points to elucidate the most intriguing premieres:
- The youth comedy drama Flying Colors, the highest grossing film in Japan this year (North American premiere)
- Saturday's midnight movie Tag, Sion Sono's newest slice of insanity. Best of all, he'll be in person for a Q&A after the show (U.S. premiere)
- The Case of Hana & Alice, an anime that I'll bet $353 is heartwarming (North American premiere)
- Princess Jellyfish, a girlpower movie based on a best-selling comic book (North American premiere)
- Prophecy, a cybercrime drama featuring a terrorist with a newspaper over your head. What else do you need? (North American premiere)
- Shinsengumi, a movie filmed using paper images cut out from a manga. It's sure to be beautiful. (North American premiere)
- A shorts program (SSFF&Asia selection) and a Shorts Competition (Golden Zipangu Awards)
- So many more. Check out the film lineup in its entirety here.
On Sunday night, the U.S. premiere of Yakuza action comedy Ryuzo and the Seven Henchmen will close out the festival.
Last year I had a magical time at EigaFest, making friends and drinking in (sake) and a wide variety of Japanese films that acts as tonics to the often cynical, reboot-ridden Hollywood landscape I've become accustomed to. A year later, I'm thirsty for more.
To pore over the schedule, go here. Or marvel at the diverse film lineup and buy tickets. For more information, check out the festival's website.

It was a busy weekend. My sister, Carol, was visiting from New Jersey all week. Carol, Katie, Bekah and I had a girls' night at the Muny and saw Grease. It was good and a beautiful evening. Who would have thought that Aug 1 would find us in sweaters. The people sitting in the two rows in front of us left during the intermission so we have a completely unobstructed view for the second half.
On Saturday it was the Phamily Phish Phry on the Pharm - hosted by my brother Phred and his wife, Jill. We only had a small portion of the family there but we still had plenty of food and fun.
Today we went to church and this afternoon Tom and I helped set up for the food pantry's school supply project. There are over 200 children that will be given the necessary school supplies through this program.

This popular and engaging text, now revised in a second edition, offers readers a social perspective on food, food practices, and the modern food system. It engages readers' curiosity by highlighting several paradoxes: how food is both individual and social, reveals both distinction and conformity, and, in the contemporary global era, comes from everywhere but nowhere in particular. With updates and enhancements throughout, the new edition provides an empirically deep, multifaceted, and coherent introduction to this fascinating field.
Each chapter begins with a vivid case study, proceeds through a rich discussion of research insights, and ends with discussion questions and suggested resources. Chapter topics include food's role in socialization, identity, health and social change, as well as food marketing and the changing global food system. The new edition gives more focused attention to labor (both paid and unpaid) in all aspects of the food system. In synthesizing insights from diverse fields of social inquiry, the book addresses issues of culture, structure, and social inequality throughout.
Written in a lively style, this book will continue to be both accessible and revealing to beginning and intermediate students alike.
2. Food and Identity: Fitting In and Standing Out
3. Food as Spectacle: The Hard Work of Leisure
4. Nutrition and Health: Good to Eat, Hard to Stomach
5. Branding and Marketing: Governing the Sovereign Consumer
6. Industrialization: The High Costs of Cheap Food
7. Global Food: From Everywhere and Nowhere
8. Food Access: Surplus and Scarcity
9. Food and Social Change: The Value of Values
-More focused attention to labor (paid and unpaid) in all aspects of the food system
-Updates and enhancements throughout, reflecting exciting thinking and scholarship in the field
"Food & Society gives us a fascinating introduction to the issues in food studies of greatest current concern. This exceptionally well-researched book explains why food matters so much and why it generates such intense controversy. The book may be aimed at students, but anyone interested in food issues will have much to learn from the paradoxes it presents." - Marion Nestle, New York University and author Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (and Winning)

So one would think if one had retired that they would have loads more time to get stuff done? huh?????? it sure is not happening for me……
So today was actually the first day that sort of hit me as" WOW I'm retired! " I have been so busy trying to catch up and still de-stressing from my busy spring that I have not been able to even think about the reality that I AM retired!! Even though my busy spring/early summer was mostly comprised of good stuff, such as two wedding showers for Heather and Brian, wedding will follow in Sept. Then a couple trips to MI to try to visit my folks, who both had a sickly hard winter but are now thankfully are on the mend….or so our prayers keep asking for… Then since I was retiring I had a huge mess to clean out of my classroom, you know how art teachers can be recyclers, I wanted to leave a clean room for my replacement, and did manage to clean out the room pretty good, left some stuff unfinished since I ran out of time but heck some of the stuff in that room was from the teacher 4 teachers ago. lol lol
So you get the drift I've been busy…oh and then I had to go back for more surgery on my hand..I had two stitches that never dissolved as expected? This part was more inconvenience then pain at least this time ;-) Since I've been back in VA I've been working on my grandson's "big boy bed "quilt. With a baby sister arriving in Sept Caleb is being moved soon to his own big boy bedroom. Well if you've followed my blog at all you might know I had been working on a monsters quilt pattern that my daughter actually picked out over 2 years ago but now they've expressed wishes to change the theme to a Chicago Bears quilt? They felt this theme would last longer for him lol lol in actuality I teased my daughter that Caleb's dad wants the Bear's quilt! lol (I think I am correct too!)
The good news is I have the top completed and now hope to quilt it myself using my new HQ16….I figure I gotta learn sometime…. lol lol……. This is the largest quilt top I think I've made so far……….yet time will tell after it's been quilted and has pulled in a little.
Here's my process so far……….
The completed top looks like……..
I want to get this completed so I can focus on some art quilting and get my studio cleaned and organized to make it easier for me to create! It's a mess right now!
I will get to see the quilt on Caleb's bed in late August.

Sunday {4.10.11}
Spring has sprung! Tulips (and a fair number of weeds) are starting to bloom in our backyard!
Monday {4.11.11}
The weather has been absolutely beautiful since Saturday, and the boys have been spending a good amount of time in the backyard. This was my view from the kitchen window as I made lunch today.
Tuesday {4.12.11}
Drew's preschool does an awesome thing when school is done for the day. Instead of parents having to come inside to pick up their kids, the teachers bring the kids out to the cars. This is especially nice for me so that I don't have to tote Reed inside and down a huge flight of stairs to pick up Drew (although I do do it in the morning when we drop him off). Instead, we pull up to the door and Mrs. Bland puts Drew in the van for us!
Wednesday {4.13.11}
Both boys are very into blowing bubbles right now. Here, I was practicing making some, as Reed would say, "HUGE!" bubbles. ;)
Thursday {4.14.11}
Reed absolutely l.o.v.e.s. to be outside...risking indecent exposure just to be out there! (For the record, he is wearing a diaper!)
Friday {4.15.11}
Severe weather sent us to the basement in the middle of dinner when the tornado sirens went off. Thankfully, we have our old table and the patio chairs down there so we had ourselves a little caveman's dinner in our dark and dreary basement.
Saturday {4.16.11}
We've established the tradition of homemade pizza, eaten picnic style on the living room floor, on Saturday nights. We're currently in a 3/4 pepperoni, 1/4 cheese pizza trend.

Need I say more?
Okay? Okay.
Need I say more?
Okay? Okay.
Book 2 of any trilogy is crucial. It's both the sequel and the penultimate part of the saga. Its main goal is to deepen the story and introduce more secondary characters to widen the world we've been crazy about on Book 1. But sometimes, diving on to the back stories and supplying more conflict can either be boring or overwhelming.
Catching Fire, second installment from The Hunger Games trilogy is neither. It's just right for my dystopian palate. After reading the book twice, I finally got a chance to see the much-awaited movie today and it was really awesome! The action, the drama and the twists are a notch higher than the first one but not over-the-top. You will cry, shout, chuckle and even get all jittery as Katniss and Peeta sojourns through all the districts for their Victory Tour ending with the re-entrance to the arena for the 75th Hunger Games/ 3rd Quarter Quell.
As an avid fan of the book, I am generally happy with the adaptation. Of course, there are scenes omitted (but for a good reason — preparation for Mockingjay) and the ones retained are closest to the original text in the book! I was even quietly going through some lines myself while in the movie house as they say some familiar lines (ie. Haymitch's "stay alive" advise to Katniss at the eve of the Games). I am also amazed with how accurate most of the new characters are with the book's description. I find the actors who played Mags, Johanna, Wiress, Plutarch and Thread perfect for their roles! I am not a big fan of Sam Claflin playing as Finnick. He's fine in the movie though but I'd like to see somebody else playing his role.
I am at the edge of my seat in the duration of the film. Even during the quietest moments of it, I can feel the tension of what's going around. There's so much more to tell and I am happy and satisfied by how much of it was told in the 2 plus hours of the film.
Best movie I have seen this year!
Here's the trailer:
7 working days + 2 weekends = 11 days away from my work. This has been the longest break I've had since I graduated from college. I missed slacking. 🙂 I missed being carefree. But it was different this time. My being 'carefree' entailed a lot of expenses that surely hurt my income and savings. But hey, it was all worth it.
My checklist of things have changed as I shifted to a new environment. I earn my own money now which means I have control over it. There were a lot of things going in my head when this vacation was approaching. I should go see the American Idol Live! Tour 2012. I did last year so I thought of continuing what I started. But something I don't know kept holding me back. And I thought it was a bit overpriced. Let's go to Vigan! No time to plan it. Besides Mama doesn't like long trips. I swore to myself that the first trip I'm gonna have with my earnings would be with my family.:) Why not try the beaches in Batangas? I was so dying to go to Acuatico! But it was too expensive for me. Plus my sister just got back from her Asian tour. I have to shoulder all the expenses. Every idea of going out of town did not materialize. I don't wanna shock myself financially plus my body was screaming to just relax and spend more time sleeping.
I did stay in, most of the time. But it did not involve much of snoozing. I spent my days catching up with TV shows, reading books and going out with friends. At the first night of my vacation, I watched a few episodes of True Blood 5. But I was drawn in to finishing the first season of Touch. I was simply in awe with how intelligently this series is written! And I found myself literally in tears in its penultimate episode.

Also, I bought my own original DVD copy of Supernatural 1! My sister and I are so hooked with the storyline the Winchester brothers got themselves tangled into so we decided to start collecting the series (just like with The Vampire Diaries) 🙂
And since it was 11 days dedicated to relaxation, I did start with a new show to watch! It's a legal drama entitled Suits which follows the story of the best closer in New York, Harvey Specter and the lawyer who didn't go to law school, Mike Ross.

And I'm proud to say that I'm already done watching its 22 episodes! Couch potato-ing at its best!:D Now, I have to wait til January for the continuation of Season 2.
Aside from filling up my mind of different plots, I also had time to hang out with my friends. Given my not-so-normal work schedule, it was a bit hard for me to see them so I grabbed this chance to spend time with 'em. I went out with college/OJT mates and celebrated a pre- and post- birthday at Johnny Rockets in Burgos Circle! Then I went to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower with a co-GIP trainee last Friday. That movie was awesome! It may have strayed a bit from the book but it's forgivable (for the screening time's sake). And last, I got to spend late lunch with the longest college friends I have just days before my vacay ends. Nothing beats the company of old people who knows you inside out.
But the core of this vacation was really the time spent with myself and with my family. I found this very exclusive place where I spent most of my afternoons looking at the Makati skyline. It was the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf branch at the Two E-com Prism Plaza.
Photo from SM Land
CBTL is situated on the right of the fountain if you're standing from the viewpoint of the picture above. Opposite the view you can see in the coffee shop is the vast waters of the Manila Bay. What completes the experience here is the strong wind that really takes away the stress!
Plans may have not materialized, yet I can say that I enjoyed this vacation. As short as it was, I had enough time for myself, my family and friends. Til next year since I only had this privilege once in twelve months.:)
Happy birthday, Alyza (@alyzabp)!
So last Saturday, I went out with my college friends for a post-birthday celebration. Headed to MOA and took advantage of the end of quarter sale (bought a Maldita shirt for P300 only!). Esprit-filled, I went around the mall, took a halt at Fully Booked and bought my friend Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational, the one I promised to buy her back in college!
Fin'lly, they all came and we had our very late lunch at Racks! What we're gonna do next is unplanned yet and nobody really made a fuss out of it and so we just let time pass as we enjoy our premium boneless pork cuts. Then, we went to Greenbelt with my kontrabida personality on. Since Call It Spring in Rob Manila and Resorts World have already disappointed me, we visited their GB branch (but no, this is not really the reason, really it's because @^#%!) 😀 What happened next should not be written because %^#%@! Haha!
Then, we hit the movies to see Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter. We were occasionally jumping from our seats! We were sitting in the second row and seemed like all their faces were zoomed just like my Twitter DP! Okay, but we didn't really talk about it afterwards.
It's a bit forgettable, I must say. It was a good food for the eyes while you're inside the cinema but it lost its magic the moment you step out.
I shared the cab with Aly going home. It was still an early night so we decided to visit her unit in Raya since I haven't been there before. We called Da and invited him over for a pizza night but it took hours of looooong talks until we made a deal. So the bottom line? We went back to Makati and stayed in Da's pad, ordered pizza, talked about the relationship between crunchy cockroaches and reflex, etc.!
What this day proved? I can be very pushy :D, I have a "rare" common sense, LAW OF ATTRACTION and #kep!
Missed these guys so much after long weeks of working! Looking forward to the next hop!:)
March 22 in Philippine cinemas!:)
Three days from now, I'll be seeing Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and the rest of The Hunger Games cast in full swing! Excited is an understatement of what I'm feeling! I have read the book twice already. I watch the trailers over and over again. Surely, I'll be one of those fans who'll be lining up on the first screening of this amazing story.
Here are snippets of the movie from The Hunger Games Movie YouTube channel:
Here's the teaser played in the VMA's yesterday:
I've been playing this over and over again! I know it's not much and it's quite disappointing to have just a minute of a peek to my most anticipated movie so far, but it's better than nothing, right? It's quite short but for me, it's so powerful. I mean, Jennifer Lawrence IS Katniss Everdeen. No doubt about it! It's radiating through her whole physique. The way she holds her bow and arrows and the strong hold of her eyes just killed me! She really got it! And I'm just thrilled to hear Rue's four-note whistle. by the end of the video. I'll be patiently waiting for the next trailer. I know that the upcoming would showcase the other characters. I'm marking my calendar already! I just hope that the showing in the US would be matched here in the Philippines. Or if it's possible, earlier please? 🙂
Guilty as charged! I so love the Hunger Games. I actually just finished the second book, Catching Fire. See, this Suzanne Collins' piece of work is a trilogy — Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. I thought of Google-ing for the trailer of the first installment since its movie adaptation is due on March. At the same time, I tweeted about how much I wanna see the sneak peek. Just in time, @TheHungerGames has retweeted tweets from @mtvnews as the first EVER official sneak peek of the much awaited movie is going to be featured at this year's Video Music Awards! It's already Aug 29, 5 hours before the anticipated star-studded awards night! I seriously can't wait to see it! Here's the teaser from MTV:
I've been meaning to write a book review about the Hunger Games but I still haven't drafted any since I'm trying to attack a different approach. 🙂

Frasier (1993)
2 revealing mistakes in season 2
Starring: David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, John Mahoney, Kelsey Grammer, Peri Gilpin
Revealing mistake: About 1/3 through the episode, they are in Roz's apartment. If you watch when people enter or leave the apartment, the door has a handle lockset. It also has a lock cylinder about 1 1/2 feet above it on both sides of the door. The problem is, the side of the door has no drill hole where the latch assembly should be: it's just solid wood. The lock isn't attached to anything that would enable it to work.terry s
Revealing mistake: I think there might be something wrong with the eels in this episode. They don't move in the tank, despite being alive and don't move when taken out either. Moreover, you cannot actually see any in the tank with one exception. Rubber replacements not up to standard obviously.David Mercier

NEW YORK --Police say the actor who portrayed the gay lover of a closeted mobster on "The Sopranos" has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in New York. [SIGN UP: Get entertainment news sent to you]
Police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel says John Costelloe was found dead in an apparent suicide at his Brooklyn home on Dec. 18.
Police were called to his residence after family members were unable to reach him.
The 47-year-old former New York City firefighter gained fame in 2006 when he was cast as short-order cook Jim "Johnny Cakes" Witowski opposite Joseph Gannascoli, who played gay mobster Vito Spatafore on the hit HBO show.
Costelloe was performing as a hustler in a theater production of "Gang of Seven" at the time of his death.

The tradition of healing with plants and medicinal food has deep roots in the Southwest and Mexico.
Today healers continue to practice these techniques using locally available plants and knowledge of the human soul. "On every road in Northern New Mexico, you are likely to find a curandero although they may not call themselves by that name," says Tonita Gonzales, a traditional healer.
Gonzales was born on Gonzales Ranch, south of Las Vegas, New Mexico and her heritage includes Mescalero Apache and Spanish ancestors. Her mother and grandmothers on both sides used local native plants to cure illness.
Although Gonzales had an interest in traditional healing, she did not pursue that path right away. She attended American University in Washington, D.C. where she received degrees in mathematics and graphic design. While pursuing her doctorate in mathematics, she began to experience a series of chronic illnesses.
Western medicine approaches failed to cure her. She didn't find relief until she met healer Rita Navarrete Perez from Mexico, who was teaching at a summer program offered by the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
Perez helped cure a condition that had paralyzed part of Gonzales' face through a technique known as fire cupping. "A light bulb went off for me when working with this curandera. My soul just lit up and I knew 'this is it,'" says Gonzales.
She apprenticed with Perez and studied traditional medicine at the University of Mexico earning diplomas in acupuncture, medicinal plants, massage, and temazcal, the Mexican sweat lodge. She now teaches in the UNM main campus in Albuquerque using herbs to make tinctures and teas to cure fevers and skin irritations. She collaborates with Perez to teach juice therapy as well as a shawl alignment healing called manteadas and Mexican sweat lodge.
Gonzales says, "Plants like osha are ancestral gifts. In the past, people understood the sacredness of plants and food as medicine, using food such as using atole (corn meal mush) made with juniper ash to absorb toxins in the body. We can remember the gifts of our ancestor. We are all descended from agricultural people."
Curanderismo workshops in Taos
Native Roots Healing, based in Arroyo Seco, has invited Gonzales to lead a series of workshops. The series, called "Understanding Curanderismo in the Depths of the Heart," began in January and continues through April. Gonzales says, "In Taos this spring, we are helping people learn to be their own doctors."
Classes focused on traditional medicine and healing intergenerational trauma were among the first sessions. In February, the first part of the workshop focused on tinctures, syrups and ointments used to address emotional and physical imbalances. A second session was called "A Day of Love" and was about self-love and love in relationships.
During the session, a group of 15 people gathered in an old farmhouse on a cold and snowy morning. Sitting around an altar of food and flowers, they listened as Gonzales told them "the healing power of curanderismo is not a religion. It is compatible with other beliefs whether you are a Catholic or a druid. When I was in England, some people told me that they believe in fairies. All these beliefs are all compatible."
Going around the circle, people said their names and where they were from. They each offered a way in which love had surprised them.
A period of meditation followed. "This is an opportunity for each one to enter a holy space for meditation, to look into their hearts and discover what they are feeling," said Gonzales.
Cocoa is offered to the participants with little bits to be tasted and savored. "We are building a community with this circle of trust and sharing," Gonzales told the group.
Participants echoed this thought. Herbalist and acupuncturist Muna said, "Tonita creates space for trust and sharing deep feelings that lead to healing. She is transforming my consciousness. Her knowledge of herbs is exactly correct, and the ways she uses them is revelatory,"
Brigid Meier, who hosts the workshops at her home, said, "Tonita is a true healer with a calling to help others. Her training has been extensive, and her knowledge base is vast: she knows the botany and she knows the Meso-American and local New Mexico traditions, folklore, herbs and foods that can help the body and the mind stay healthy."
Native Roots Healing
Native Roots Healing founder Morgaine Witriol and the teachers of her workshops collaborate to discover topics that the teachers are passionate about and excited to teach, always keeping in mind topics that might benefit the community. "I asked Tonita if she would address grief and addiction because the Taos community has had a lot of loss this year," says Witriol.
Self-healing and coping techniques that promote well-being are often the focus of the classes.
"I hope that people will have support and guidance in navigating their own healing journey, that we can provide tools for a healthier stronger community," Witriol says. "We share basic knowledge of medicinal foods and plants that are right in our backyards. Our intention is not to train or certify people to become practitioners. Becoming a healer is not something you can learn in a couple of weeks or even a couple of years, but we are all capable of learning to heal ourselves."
An interest in herbs since childhood took Witriol on a journey that included working at an orphanage in Guatemala and apprenticing with a Mayan medicine man in Belize. She returned to the United States to study at the California School of Herbalism and the Northwest School for Botanical Studies.
She focuses on hands-on experiential learning that creates a "knowing" that can be understood by more than only the mind. In addition, she works as an herbalist and with techniques that release energetic trauma.
Upcoming workshops
An upcoming session in March is titled "Traditional Medicine: Creating a Home and Traveling First Aid Kit" and will be offered March 17-18. Gonzales' teacher Rita Navarette Perez will be teaching as well, with an emphasis on herbal first aid with compresses and poultices and manteadas healing. In April, the focus will be on energetic cleansings and limpia de rosas (cleansing with roses) for spiritual healing.
This summer, Native Roots Healing will be sponsoring a series of weekend workshops with some of the teachers that come to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America for the UNM curanderismo class along with local Taos teachers Margaret Garcia and Ana Chavez. Gonzales and Perez will be teaching a four-day intensive class in August.
Also this summer, a youth program will be offered at Sol Felize Farm based on permaculture, food as medicine and medicinal plants, in collaboration with Margaret Garcia and Miguel Santistevan of the non-profit AIRE (Agriculture Implementation Research and Education). "We hope to get the two-week program fully or partially funded so that low-income families will have access to the same opportunities. Anyone that would like to get more involved, sponsor a scholarship for a youth to attend or make a donation can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Classes will be open to youth ages 12-17," Witriol says.
Learning more
Another way to learn from Tonita Gonzales is to attend "Traditional Medicine without Borders: Curanderismo in the Southwest and Mexico," which will be offered in Albuquerque from July 16-27. For more information, visit her page on Facebook or email@example.com
The course can also be taken online as a continuing education class and is offered for credit to UNM students. It is offered for free periodically at coursa.org.
The goal of these classes and the work of Gonzales is to provide tools to be healthy as individuals and as a community. "Our ancestral gifts help us build resilience and establish our own relationship with the Creator. We can heal ourselves with plants and food," says Gonzales. "No one else should be an authority over us; our own lives give us authority. We are all from the earth and go back to it."

Dear all
The campaign is building up. On a clear day we can just about see the first glimpses of Northcote Books, sparkling creative community hub and excellent bookshop. Update:
- Bookshop Build-up! The core of a committee has been formed and is bravely tackling the priority tasks. It will expand in the coming weeks. From its first meeting came the idea of a Bookshop Build-up, to spread the news, raise expectation and keep interest alive in the forthcoming months, while all the necessary hoops are gone through and stuff done back stage. So we hope to organise an event or two! Watch this space. Contact us if events are your thing.
- It looks as if the offer of being part of the re-vamped library is an opportunity we should take, for many reasons. We have again met with Diana Edmonds from GLL, the social enterprise taking over Wandsworth libraries, and also the designer who is likely to be working on the Northcote Library re-design, which includes a café. We had open and positive discussions about the bookshop, where it could go, how it could work as an independent unit, the hours, the window displays, etc. The idea of a profit share was mooted.
- Have met councillors Peter Dawson and Jonathan Cook, who were keen to find ways to support us, for example through the Big Society Fund if we apply.
- Have also met many of you individually who kindly signed up in support and offered specific help. Every conversation over coffee and emailed idea from you adds to the project, and many thanks for those. The meetings continue: hassle us if you have not had a response despite offering wonderful golden skills.
- Know a lawyer? We are setting up working groups on finance and legal aspects, inter alia. Our group has wide and varied talents but the search is still on for a book-loving lawyer, ideally someone with experience in corporate law. Do you know of anyone who might be able to help? It is really just for the initial input in getting the legal structure of the bookshop established. Cooperatives UK provide guidance and you would be part of a working group. Please contact us if any cheery enthusiast can give us a hand.
- There will be a lot to sort out in the coming months, ranging from establishing the vision and scope of the whole project, working with schools, contacting the French community, deciding what online model to follow, using social media, involving authors and other artistic and creative people, visiting other bookshops, getting their advice and seeing what good things they do, designing and running stalls at places eg the Northcote Rd Fete on 7th July or the ShoutSouth festival on 13-15 June, celebrating storytelling for children and young people in South London at the South Bank University.
- What can possibly go wrong?! We can find out at a course laid on by The Booksellers Association on Thursday 6th June 2013. Their Introduction to Bookselling, offers "a thorough grounding in every aspect of bookselling, from the very beginning". It costs a lot, the full price is £ 225 plus VAT, but if several of us sign up, we get a discount. We have no funds as yet, but I thought I would just mention it in case this would interest you. Of course, we intend to have a professional manager plus experienced staff for the bookshop, but the more of us who know the basics the better. When funds permit this may be something that we can use to help train up our volunteers. Contact us if you would like to go at a discounted rate.
- The website: www.northcotebooks.com is up and running. Subscribe, blog is now working, keep an eye on it.
- Spread the word. Thanks everyone
PS Nice to know: the London Literature Festival is at the South Bank from Monday 20 May 2013 to Wednesday 5 June 2013.

Do you need craft supplies? There are lots of online stores that have major savings on these items. Do a quick Internet search to find the best deals on your crafting materials. Several top Internet stores even provide free shipping.
Many types of things can be a craft project. Paper goods that are generally discarded are great. You can use spent paper towel and toilet paper rolls too. Magazines and wrapping paper can be reused, too. Use some creativity in terms of materials or items you typically dispose of, and put them to arts and crafts use instead.
You can use many different things for arts and crafts. For example, one of the most inexpensive items for crafting is paper goods. Empty rolls for toilet paper or paper towels work, too. You can also use newspapers or magazines. Get creative with items you usually toss out, and try to use them in projects.
Go easy on kids who are doing arts and crafts. Your main objective should be to foster creativity. If you continuously point out the flaws in their work, you will defeat the purpose.
Don't pressure kids too much when they are enjoying arts and crafts time. The idea of doing these types of projects is to foster creativity. You will defeat this purpose if you keep pointing things that your children are doing incorrectly.
If you can't find the supplies you need, look at thrift stores. They often have items which your creativity can turn into a project. You have to check back often because thrift store stock is always on the move.
Always be mindful of the fact that any arts and crafts projects involving children is going to get messy. If that bothers you, cover the work surface with newspaper or butcher paper to contain the mess. You might also work with washable adhesives, markers and other things that can be washed away.
Beadaholique has everything you need to make jewelry. They carry jewelry making supplies including beads, chains and tools. Many people wear costume jewelry today. When you create your own, you are able to match your jewelry to your wardrobe and save some money.
Keep your focus on a single project. When working on this type of hobby, it can be tempting to launch a variety of projects all at once. This is how many projects stay unfinished. Finish a project before you even think about starting another. You will be able to finish up one craft before starting on the next.
You can get many great craft supplies through Etsy. That site offers things that are sold by individual people. You can buy supplies here, and you can sell your creations, too. No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it here.
Search for new arts and crafts inspirations online. Sites make how-tos and ideas available to you. Any sort of project for any age can be found.
Organize all your art and craft supplies. You can organize your things in many ways, so figure out which is best for you. When your supplies are organized, it's easier for you to find the things you need. This will also allow you to easily see exactly what is available to you.
To get that cloudy look out of your mosaic once the mortar has dried, spray some glass cleaner onto a rag and wipe the mosaic clean. The mortar powder is hard to get out without it and you don't need it gumming up the finish of the final project.
Search for some good materials to work with? Take a look in the kitchen. There are many craft supplies located there. There are empty glass jars, metal cans, tin foil, and so much more. Dried foods like beans and pasta can also be used.
Peanut Butter
Grab a pine cone and peanut butter to make a child friendly birdfeeder. When the peanut butter still retains its stickiness, roll the pine cone in birdseed. The peanut butter will act as a glue for the seeds. As the peanut butter dries the birds will be able to eat it as well as the birdseed.
Make a bird feeder. Get a plain pine cone, and smear the whole outside with peanut butter. Kids love this. Roll the entire thing in birdseed when the peanut better still has adhesiveness. Your seeds will adhere to your peanut butter, so all you need to do is add a string and hang the feeder in a tree.
Coming up with arts and crafts projects is a fun way to involve many adults and children. You can enjoy projects with a large group, no matter their age. You can find out age specific project groupings by looking online.
To teach kids how patterns work when drawn, get their Spirograph out or get one online. Seeing the pens move across the patterns illustrates how physics actually works.
Ensure that you have all necessary tools and materials before you begin a new projects. Don't start just to realize you need something you don't have. Write down everything you need beforehand, then run out and purchase those items.
Always be on the lookout for ways children can learn through arts and crafts. You can use math by having them count objects, subtract as you use them, try and read the instructions, or a number of other tasks that will help them learn while enjoying the fun!
Get a spirograph. You can get one online, or at a retail location. Use it to teach children how patterns work. Watching the pens move through their patterns as you go through the different shapes shows your children how many different wave patterns in physics work.
If you make a lot of crafts, you should buy wholesale. When you buy them at retailers, you usually pay a lot more than you need to. If you can get your supplies wholesale, you can save a lot of money. You can share with your friends or resell what you have extra of.
Think about looking for wholesale craft supplies as a way to save money. Specialty shops or major retailers often charge exorbitant prices. But, when you buy wholesale, you save a lot of money and enjoy larger quantities of merchandise as well. Share your supplies with friends or relatives or sell the supplies you do not plan on using.
You can give your loved pet a wonderful gift by you and your children making it a unique food or water dish. Begin with a plain bowl and have them decorate with paint pens. The dish will be unique for your pet.
Show your kids how to make a personalized food and water dish, and give it to your pet as a holiday gift. Use a plastic or ceramic bowl and let the kids use permanent markers or paint pens to draw any designs. Your pet will appreciate a unique dish.
Soak paintbrushes in baby oil before washing them. This will help the paint come off the brush, and can increase their life.
Get a model car that's right for you kid's age. Young children do well with snap-together kits; teenagers are better suited for painting and gluing small pieces.
When you are making things for your home, crafts are even more fun. Think about making some decor for your wall, new pillows for couches and chairs, inspiring plant pots or collaged frames. You can even give these crafts as gifts to people.
Some stores have pamphlets with crafts in them. When checking through the store, you will usually find literature about these crafts. These pamphlets can be found on a hook in the crafting department. All the supplies needed, should be close by.
If you're searching for artistic inspiration, look at nature. The colors in nature provide great examples. Examine photographs, look online, or go outside in person and try to find awesome colors to mimic in your work. Inspiration can come at all times everywhere.
If you have paint-filled brushes that appear hard to wash, soak them in some baby oil for just a couple of minutes before washing. This makes the paint come off much easier.
Look in the kitchen for cheap craft supplies for children. Some paper plates, uncooked noodles, paints and glue can make a great set of projects. Use the glue to create designs on the plates with the food items, and use the paint to decorate them.
Making useful objects for your house can be a good craft idea. You can make blinds, flower pots, picture frames and cushions, for instance. You can also make these things to give to special people as gifts.
Although most people do not consider cooking to be a craft, you can also be very creative in the kitchen. Making a beautiful cake for someone is a very creative endeavor. You can take on decorating cupcakes as a great idea.
Do you need inspiration for your next project? Take a good look outside for immediate inspiration. Especially when it comes to color, mother nature got it right. Look over personal photos, pictures online, or just walk out your door for color schemes to use in your projects. You'll have no problem getting some good ideas.
Baby Pictures
Are you wanting to learn to knit? There are lots of books out there that can help you start with basic stitching. Then you can work your way up to advanced stitching. Learn what you need by reading and viewing pictures.
To create a keepsake item for a newborn, request baby pictures of the child's siblings. Create a mosaic, leaving a round hole where each hour will go. You cut out clear glass in order to fit in the holes, and then you use cut baby pictures to put there in place. Cover with glass to even the surface of the mosaic, and add in the motor and hands. You just made a clock that kid will always treasure!
Ask for family pictures. You can make a clock that is a keepsake, and the first thing you need is pictures. You can make a mosaic on the face. Use clear class to fill the holes and then glue the pictures in place. Even the mosaic surface with a glass covering, then put in the clock motor and hour and minute hands. You will then have a great clock that will be treasured.
Plan on getting messy when crafting. When you work on craft projects, things drop, drip and smear. That's just how it is! You should plan ahead and protect surfaces so that you will not get upset. Failing to plan for a mess can result in disaster, though.
Don't be afraid to get a little messy. When doing craft projects, you will smear, drop, and drip things. This is quite normal. You can spare yourself stress and headaches with a little bit of forethought and surface protection. If you aren't prepared, you can ruin something.
Can your budget handle a new project? Different types of crafts need different supplies. For example, a knitter will need yarn. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
If you want to start doing arts and crafts, it's best to be sure you can afford it. All crafts require that you buy certain supplies. A good example of this is the yarn you would buy to knit. Prior to doing the craft, figure out how much money you will need.
Do you enjoy the ambiance of handmade objects, but fear that you lack the free time to make them? You can actually create beautiful crafts with very little time. Take a class and figure out how to build birdhouses or create pottery.
Get supplied with what you need before you begin. The only way to be sure you finish is to have what you need on hand. Write a checklist or try hard to remember what you need. If you decide to finish the entire project at once, you will have all of the materials available.
The arts not only give you satisfaction and relaxation, but they also can yield objects of genuine, practical application to boot. When you know all you can about something, you are going to enjoy it immensely. If this article did its job, you are ready to do exactly that.
Purchase paper in big quantities. When doing your arts and crafts endeavors, lots of paper will be required. Search through the clearance aisle at your local store for different creative ideas. You cannot go awry when purchasing paper. Even if you are not sure what you are making, it is wise to have plenty on hand.

Today (27 July 2012) was a day filled with mixed emotions.
Cedric and myself went shopping, after almost buying a new camera (it is on our list by the way), and almost buying a Ipod (also on our list) we ended up buying none of the aforementioned. haha
We are comparing the prices here to what we would pay in South Africa and it's more or less the same so will rather go look around when back home.
We shopped on the Champs Elysees, and I went to H&M, there are sales everywhere which meant the shops were packed and then I get irritated. But I found a bargain people! A dress for 3 Euro!!!!!! I paid with coins! Felt extremely strange to me! But fun!
Then we went for lunch at Pizza Pino, I had pizza and Cedric had seafood.
We also went to the Market in one of the streets close to the apartment. And this was when the weather also started changing a bit, the rain decided to join us on holiday, but only a light visit now and then! We didn't complain, after the heat the last few days we enjoyed the cool rain on our skin!
I also bought the cutest green dress from a boutique opposite our apartment, and also found out that my big South African hips don't fit into the small pants sizes from Paris! Now I don't know if I should feel fat or just very curvy??? Think I will go with curvy!
The evening we went to watch Moulin Rouge! mmmm my opinion is it is very expensive. The show is nice but you pay more for the name "Moulin Rouge" than the product. So I did shopping at the souvenir shop there. We went for a quick Mussels dinner before the show.
And that is the way to end a day of shopping in Paris!
Have a lovely day everyone!

One of the things that I've been hesitant to really delve into has been my actual diet these past few weeks and how it has been changing. I'd like to dwell more on the vegetable-eating portion of it, but there has been a significant change recently. I haven't wanted to write about it yet, because I'm not sure what it means for me in terms of cooking and the remains of this original project.
I do know that it means that I'm treading in gray water mentally. On the one hand, I still value the things that made me choose a vegan diet, and on the other hand I feel comfortable eating the dairy and eggs that we have been eating. For once in my life, I feel as though I'm holding contradicting opinions and am still able to exist peacefully.
Our diet hasn't changed that drastically. Two months ago we dared to buy a carton of eggs from the farmer's market after doing a lot of research. Somehow we came to the conclusion that these hens are happy. So we bought. And we ate. So far Justin has been in charge of cooking the eggs, but I'm sure I'll jump back into it. Some more time went by and we did more reading and bought some ice cream. And then some cheese.
But we still eat a lot of vegan food. The cheese is sort of a garnish that enters our life sporadically. And then not so sporadically when I decided that we needed to finish the bread we had and made grilled cheese sandwiches. We're still eating vegan tacos – that might have a sliver of something on them.
In a moment of comedy, we were at a family dinner and offered both vegan and non-vegan ice cream (both from the amazing creamery near our apartment – and what was ultimately our first dairy treat) and told that there was no judgement at the table. We passed that night, but a week later I was eating strawberries and cream ice-cream at Ample Hills. And if you're ever in Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, I highly recommend them. Even if you just want their dark chocolate vegan ice-cream!

We have known for some time, we have been reporting all this summer, that the iPhone X , has faced production problems related to the TrueDepth camera , resulting in delays in shipping.
Respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has recently reported that the supply of components for the facial recognition system is now stabilized .
In a research note with KGI Securities and obtained by MacRumors, Kuo added that Apple is not going to " repeat the error " of production delayed with iPhone models next year, which predicts that " will arrive on time " thanks to a supply stable.
Apple will not repeat the error of interruption of supply and delay in production as seen with the iPhone X. It is thought that the shipments of new iPhone that are prepared for next year will arrive on time due to stable supply at the end of the year. next year.
And since there will be no higher specification update on the TrueDepth camera on these new models, we believe that Apple will continue to use the same WLO for the spot projector and the infrared camera lens as on the iPhone X. It is estimated that the supply of both components is now stable, without needing to change to other solutions.
Kuo hopes that the new iPhone models launched in the second half of 2018 will adopt the same optics and point-projection system of the TrueDepth system, and the same 4P lens for the infrared camera, such as the iPhone X.
IPhone X reservations began on Friday at 09:01 in Spain, and future deliveries have been maintained in 5-6 weeks from a few hours. The orders with delivery for next Friday were sold out in 10 minutes and those that are made now have an estimated delivery date for the month of December.

a) I've been spinning a bunch lately, the result of this is so nice I wants it for myself… but I will be good. It'll be up in the shop soon.
2) I am seriously considering getting manicures more regularly.
iii.) It's the last week of our CSA and we got honey!! WOOT!! I love honey. I admit to sometimes eating it with a spoon.
lastly) Scooter the cat has some unnatural dislike of having her picture taken. The past few times she's encountered a flash I've gotten punished with presents in the morning. This is both really annoying and somewhat funny. I've gotten away with this photo with no flash, she didn't even know what was happening (he he).
P.S.) We bottled out winter beer, called holiday cheer, involving cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Smells delish, I hope it tastes that way, we'll be unveiling it at Thanksgiving if all goes well. We've got a smoked bourbon porter in the fermenter right now… that should be delish.
In other news, the sweater has one and a third sleeves! WOOT!! Hopefully photos this weekend.

Inspired By Finn Amber Necklace Review and Giveaway - CLOSED
Started by a mom (to a boy named Finn), Inspired By Finn sells Baltic amber necklaces for children and adults. Amber is great for teething (and various other ailments) because it contains analgesic properties. When warmed against the skin it releases trace amounts of succinic acid, which is absorbed into the skin, benefiting the wearer with pain relief, immune system boosts, and more energy.
To be perfectly honest, I totally attribute the fact that my boys both teethed so incredibly well to the amber necklaces that they have both worn since they were three months old. I hardly noticed either of them teething until I had a finger in their mouths and felt a tooth. Amber really works! I have bought several different necklaces from the shop: round and chipped, light and dark. I have lost a few, so needed to replace them, but I also like to have some choice! My favourite part about them is that they aren't just useful, but they are absolutely beautiful. I wear mine and feel like I am dressed up. I love my boys in them, too. I really think they are great!
Beyond teething, I wear an amber necklace to help with back pain. My mother swears it has relieved her chronic headaches. My father says it has helped in his healing with a skiing accident he had last year. My entire family wears amber every single day.
This week I am so excited to announce a giveaway by Inspired By Finn! One lucky winner will get any in stock necklace, 16 inches or smaller. Yeah!
The rules still apply with this giveaway: all you have to do is be a follower and leave a comment on any post between now and next Sunday evening. For every post you comment on, you get an entry into the giveaway. However, you can get additional entries by doing two things (leave a separate comment for each):
1. "Like" Inspired By Finn on Facebook and leave a comment telling me you did.
2. Go to Inspired By Finn, decide which item you like best, and leave a comment here telling me which it is.
Who's excited? I am!
Also, if you just can't wait to get an amber necklace, you can get 20% off NOW by following the directions here.
Just so you know, I was not given any products by Inspired By Finn. I am reviewing this based solely on my experiences over the last 3 years with the amber I have purchased. I have had multiple wonderful experiences with Inspired By Finn and recommend them whole heatedly.

I have used baltic amber (from Inspired by Finn) on both my youngest children. Sadly, my 2yo lost his when we moved at the beginning of the year and I haven't had the money to replace it. He misses it. The necklaces made a night and day difference that I noticed if I ever forgot to put the necklace on them during a teething spurt (can we say hello, sleepless night?).ReplyDelete
If I won I would want a 12 inch butter or orange colored necklace that my 2yo can proudly wear.
I liked Inspired by Finn on FB by the way.ReplyDelete

EDITION: December - February 2018
Spanish rental legislation
By Armin Gutschick y Anja Sämann-Gutschick
Whoever is renting a home in Ibiza should be up to date with Spanish rental legislation, not just when the end of the contract is approaching, but also when daily issues come up, such as the costs of a repair, an increase in the rent or the payment of additional expenses. The Urban Rental Law (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) is from 1994, and was amended four years ago. Since June 2013, there are some novelties in Spain that intend to promote property rental and make it more flexible. Amongst others, the obligatory duration of rental contracts has been reduced from five to three years.
In Spain, it is not compulsory to formalize the rental contract, but for the sake of security you should insist in establishing a written contract. It is advisable to include in it not only the exact address and the surface in square metres of the property, but also its cadastral reference in the Property Registry.
There is no avoiding the payment of a deposit, which generally amounts to two months' rent. This cannot be used to pay the rental, and thus the tenant cannot stop paying their rent two months before the contract expires in exchange for the deposit paid in the beginning.
Spanish legislation does not contemplate rentals for an indefinite period, as it would place an excessive limit on the property rights of the owner. Indefinite contracts are considered valid for one year. Since June 2013, long duration contracts expire after three years. If there is a tacit extension because neither tenant nor landlord have given notice of termination, the tenant will have the right to one more year. Whoever wants to end the contract during that extra year must respect the 30-day warning period established by law. Both landlord and tenant must irrefutably notify their intention to end the contract. That is why they should send the notification via a certified letter with acknowledgement of receipt or via burofax.
Contrary to most countries in central and Northern Europe, in Spain there is no diferentiation between the net rent, which is the price paid to use the property, and the gross rent, which is the rental price including additional costs. Here, every tenant pays their own water, gas and electricity consumption. A distinction must be made between these expenses and those that come about from the maintenance of gardens or pools, insurances, etc. The landlord can only pass those costs onto the tenant if it has been expressly agreed and included in the contract. This is also applicable to the property or council tax, which in Ibiza owners tend to pass on to their tenants.
Another point that needs to be clarified is the adjustment of the rent to inflation. The landlord can include in the contract a clause about the yearly rent increase, which will be carried out according to the variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the last year.
Any repairs that come up may cause potential conflicts. In Spain, there is a distinction made between the repairs that regard the maintenance of the property, which correspond to the tenant, and the ones that are required for its habitability, which correspond to the landlord. In practice, however, this distinction can be quite ambiguous. If, for example, the water heater breaks down, landlord and tenant will have to reach an agreement.
It is strongly advised that tenants do not discount such costs from the amount they pay for rent without agreeing it first with the landlord (they key word here is: rental reduction). According to Spanish law, the tenant has a right to compensation for damages, but if s/he unilaterally reduces the rent or stops paying it, s/he runs the risk of the landlord presenting an action for eviction and claiming, also, the owed rent. If the owner needs the property for their own use, they can recover it and terminate the contract in advance, as long as at least one year has gone by since the signing of the contract and s/he communicates the decision to the tenants with at least two months' notice.

As Twitter has been struggling to keep its user numbers up, as well as its stock price, one of its biggest concerns has been with keeping top talent from jumping ship. This is not a hypothetical problem either; a bunch of its executives quit en mass in January.
Twitter's solution has been to give employees stock, in the hopes that it will persuade them to stay on. In October, Jack Dorsey announced that he was giving away roughly a third of his stake in Twitter.
Dorsey still plans to go ahead with that plan, as Vijaya Gadde, General Counsel at Twitter, wrote a letter to shareholders on Friday asking them to approve it.
"We are asking our stockholders to approve the 2016 Plan at the Annual Meeting in order to allow us to fulfill Mr. Dorsey's objectives of making his contributed shares available for grants to our employees," he wrote. "Mr. Dorsey and we believe our success is due to our highly talented employee base and that our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain high caliber people."
The company also announced that it has amended the plan, in order to prohibit the repricing of stock options, including through an option exchange program or cash buyout, without the consent of Twitter's stockholders.
"We recognize the importance of protecting the value of your investment in Twitter and we also endeavor to be responsive to stockholder feedback on our compensation programs," said Gadde.
When he announced he was giving away a third of his stock, Dorsey said it was being given "to our employee equity pool to reinvest directly in our people." The total value of the stake Dorsey gave away, which was about 1 percent of the company, came to $211 million.
So far, the plan has not done much to stem the tide of executives leaving the company. Katie Jacobs Stanton, the company's VP of global media; Kevin Weil, it's SVP of product; Alex Roetter, who is and SVP of engineering; Jason Toff, general manager at Vine; and Brian "Skip" Schipper, Twitter's Vice President of Human Resources, all of whom chose to leave Twitter at the exact same time.
Those departures followed Mike Davidson, Twitter's Head of Design, announced he was leaving the company in December. In the two weeks prior Twitter had also lost engineer Utkarsh Srivastava, who helped the company build its ads business, and it also saw the departure of Glenn Otis Brown, who has been heading up Twitter's video ad program. Srivastava left for Google, while Brown went to Betaworks.
In March it was also reported that the company was giving employees additional restricted stock, with the amount that each employee gets depending on how long they've been working at Twitter.
In addition, Twitter was said to be giving employees bonuses, starting at $50,000 and going up to $200,000, in order to get them to stay another six months, or another year.
Sadly for Twitter, giving out stock might not be the best incentive right now, as the company fell to its lowest ever earlier this month, hitting $14.1 a share.
Twitter's stock rose 1.91 percent to $14.42 a share. It is down 37.68 percent year-to-date and down 44.5 percent from $26 IPO price.
