A Quick + Dirty Insider Guide to the Best Neighbourhoods in Mexico City
Mexico City, now known as the Ciudad de México in Spanish, and formerly the distrito federal (or DF, if you will), is enormous. No, really. One week is never enough for visiting Mexico City. A lifetime is barely enough to explore one of the biggest cities in Mexico and in a year, I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what this capital has to offer. However, most people don't have a year, certainly not a lifetime and perhaps not even a week, so you've got to crack on and make the most of the time you've got by exploring the best neighbourhoods in Mexico City (neighborhoods in Mexico City, for my north of the border, u-phobic friends).
That's why I've compiled this quick and dirty Mexico City travel guide to the most noteworthy neighbourhoods in Mexico City, a.k.a. barrios or colonias, that spread across the 16 delegaciones (boroughs) that make up the Ciudad de México. Each entry features safety information, a brief history of each area and a guide to the ~vibe~ of the place, plus information about the closest metro station.
The capital city of Mexico is divided up into 16 different delegaciones, a.k.a. districts of Mexico City, some of which have a lot more to offer the casual tourist than others. Take Cuauhtémoc for example: one of the more central Mexico City districts, it has popular, uber cool neighbourhoods like Roma and Zona Rosa, alongside the underrated Santa María la Ribera and San Rafael, to literally name just a few. In fact, most of the city's main attractions centre on just five delegations: Cuauhtémoc, Benito Juárez, Miguel Hidalgo and Coyoacán.
Then you've got the enormous Milpa Alta delegación way in the south which, honestly, shouldn't really even be included under the 'Mexico City' umbrella, so distinct is it from the rest of the capital. Anyway, here's a map if you were wondering how these 16 delegations divide up Mexico City.

Centro Histórico | Centro Histórico, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: Once the heart of Mesoamerican hub Tenochtitlán, the historic centre of downtown Mexico City is now a cluster of historic buildings built principally by the Spaniards from the rubble of Aztec temples and pyramids, as well as a shit ton of museums.
Vibe: Historic (duh), busy, the opposite of relaxing.
Top Attraction: It's all about Bellas Artes and Parque Alameda in my opinion, but you can't skip the buildings around the zocalo either.
Safety Rating: Safe in the day, but look out for pickpockets. Borderline sketchy at night.
Tourist Rating: Super touristy, but still one of the best neighbourhoods in Mexico City.
Closest Metro Station: As you can imagine, the historic centre is very well connected as far as the Mexico City metro system goes, but the three best placed are Hidalgo (Blue and Olive Lines), Bellas Artes (Blue and Green Lines) and Zócalo (Blue Line).

Ciudad Universitaria | Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacán, Mexico City
History: Literally translating to 'University City', Coyoacán's Ciudad Universitaria is the main campus of UNAM, Mexico's best university, and includes the Olympic Stadium. Developed during the 1950s to bring to coherence to university buildings, it's also full of museums and libraries and is officially recognised by UNESCO.
Vibe: Full of left-leaning, liberal students and highly artsy. People who think studying humanities is pointless need not apply.
Top Attraction: There are plenty of Mexico City landmarks at CU, mostly art related; the mural decorated Biblioteca Central, MUAC or the Espacio Escúltorico. I saw my favourite ever piece of street art on the UNAM campus, fyi.
Safety Rating: Usually busy and safe in the day, but quiet and best avoided at night.
Tourist Rating: International in vibe, principally because of the university's prestige, but not that touristy.
Closest Metro Station: Copilco and the aptly named Universidad (both on the Olive Line) are probably your best bets.

Condesa | Condesa, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: Colonia Condesa comprises of three Mexico City barrios: Condesa, Condesa-Hipodrómo and Hipódromo, although they're more commonly referred to as, simply, Condesa. Officially established in the early 20th century, Condesa is known for Art Deco architecture and for being a hub of wealthy internationals, including Eastern European Jews and Spanish refugees. It was badly damaged in the 1985 earthquake, only grabbing the attention of younger residents in the redevelopment period.
Vibe: A slightly upper-class version of Roma, that errs on swanky rather than hipster, but still remains family-friendly and posh.
Top Attraction: Parque México is one of the city's most beautiful parks, and the Art Deco buildings are also beautiful. There's a reason Condesa is one of the top places to visit in Mexico City.
Safety Rating: Reliably safe both day and night and one of the best places to stay in Mexico City, if safety and swankiness is what you need.
Tourist Rating: Full of European and North Americans in Mexico City who want to remain in a bubble of European and North American sensibilities.
Closest Metro Station: Chapultepec (Pink Line) for Condesa, Patriotismo (Brown Line) for Hipoódromo/ Hipódromo Condesa and Chilpancingo (Brown Line) for Hipódromo Condesa.

Coyoacán Centro | Coyoacán Centro, Coyoacán, Mexico City
History: Meaning 'Place of the Coyotes' in Nahuatl, Coyoacán Centro is the heart of the huge Coyoacán borough and has existed since the times of Lake Texcoco, making it one of the oldest Mexico City destinations. Even so, in layout and design, it's principally colonial.
Vibe: Family-friendly, artsy, colourful, warm. (Can you tell I like Coyoacán?)
Top Attraction: The coffee at El Jarocho is what keeps me coming back, but there are also popular plazas and, of course, Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul.
Safety Rating: Safe in the busy centre, both day and night. Pickpocketing is likely the biggest threat, so exercise caution.
Tourist Rating: Did you really visit Mexico City if you didn't stop by Coyoacán? (No.)
Closest Metro Station: Coyoacán, Viveros and Miguel Ángel de Quevedo (all on the Olive Line) are all close-ish, but there's still some walking required.

Juárez & Zona Rosa | Juárez & Zona Rosa, Benito Juárez, Mexico City
History: Established in the late 19th, early 20th century, Juárez is a hard to pin down zone. Formerly a hideout for the wealthy fleeing the city centre, it morphed into a centre for intellectuals in the 60s, before becoming a financial and business centre, and, in recent years, a gay hotspot.
Vibe: Super gay friendly, vibrant, neither boring nor super cool, reliable. Hailed as the latest up-and-coming area of the capital, but I don't buy it.
Top Attraction: Paseo de la Reforma and the barrio coreano (Korean Neighbourhood).
Safety Rating: Safe in the day but you should take care at night. Pickpocketing is likely the biggest threat.
Tourist Rating: As a popular gay hub in the heart of the city, you'll find plenty of tourists roaming the streets.
Closest Metro Station: Sevilla, Insurgentes and Cuauhtémoc (all Pink Line).

Nápoles | Nápoles, Benito Juárez, Mexico City
History: A mid-century development originally conceived as a solution to the rising Mexico City population, Nápoles is a contemporary of the Del Valle neighbourhood and shares many architectural similarities with it, including the so-called Colonial California style.
Vibe: Understated, nothing to write home about but pleasant.
Top Attraction: There aren't many Mexico City attractions in Nápoles, but music lovers will enjoy the Pepsi Center whereas art fans will probably prefer the David Alfaro Siqueiros decorated edifice, Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros.
Safety Rating: As safe as any middle-class residential/business district in a big city.
Tourist Rating: Mainly Mexican residential.
Closest Metro Station: Insurgentes Sur (Gold Line) is the closest you're gunna get.
Narvarte | Narvarte, Benito Juárez, Mexico City
History: Narvarte actually combines five neighbourhoods, Poniente, Oriente, Piedad, Vértiz and Atenor Salas, even though that Google Maps link above will only let me grab Narvarte Poniente. It's well-known for having an international, immigration filled past and the influences of Greek, Lebanese and German settlers are still clear in the neighbourhood today.
Vibe: Old school, vaguely middle-class Mexico City, with authentic international cuisine and a laidback, vintage feel.
Top Attraction: Narvarte is all about the tacos and the Santa Muerte shrine.
Safety Rating: Not the safest, not the most dangerous. Take normal precautions.
Tourist Rating: It barely even registers on most tourists' radars, and, admittedly, isn't a major hub of Mexico City tourism.
Closest Metro Station: The Olive Line's Eugenia, Etiopía and División del Norte all cut cleanly through Narvarte.
Related Post: Being A Local in Narvarte (Not my post, but a great food guide to a neighbourhood that I haven't got round to writing about yet.)
Polanco | Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City
History: Polanco is also the catch-all term for five separate neighbourhoods, that were principally developed after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake. It's not hugely historical, and has always been dominated by residential, business and recreational new developments.
Vibe: International, wealthy, posh, snooty. A cultural vacuum, but probably one of the safest places in Mexico City.
Top Attraction: The immigration office. Just kidding. Kind of. This one's easy – Museo Soumaya (which is technically not in Polanco, but might as well be) and Parque Lincoln. Wanna go shopping in Mexico City? Polanco houses Mexico City's answer to Rodeo Drive, Avenida Presidente Masaryk, if designer labels are your thang.
Safety Rating: Very safe. And very boring.
Tourist Rating: Less tourists, more immigrants. Still full of 'non-Mexicans' for want of a better way of putting it and if you're wondering where to stay in Mexico City, Polanco isn't a bad option. I guess.
Closest Metro Station: Polanco (Orange Line). Polanco's not a colonia that's super easy to access on public transport in my experience. Probably to keep out all the plebs.
Related Post: Where To Go in Polanco? Parque Lincoln!
Roma | Roma, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: Roma originally peaked as an out-of-the-city-centre enclave for the swell of wealthy Europeans who flocked into Mexico around the turn of the 20th century, and French-style mansions were all the rage in the area. Deterioration began in the mid-20th century, as people moved to newer areas and the 1985 earthquake had a devastating effect on the area; however, Roma has been rejuvenated in recent years.
Vibe: Hipster Mexico City, fashionable and an epicentre of culinary innovation, but also full of people who maaaybe think they're better than you (you didn't hear it from me). Roma continues to be 'Little Europe', with some of the best Mexico City nightlife.
Top Attraction: For me, it's all about the street art in Roma, but the selection of innovative (albeit pricey) bars isn't half bad and there are tons of art galleries. Roma also has some of the best restaurants in Mexico City.
Safety Rating: Super safe in the day, pretty safe after dark.
Tourist Rating: You'll never not see an English speaking white person in La Roma. It's arguably too foreigner friendly, with a ton of Mexico City tourist attractions.
Closest Metro Station: Insurgentes or Cuauhtémoc (both Pink Line) if you want to explore Roma Norte, Centro Médico (Olive and Brown Lines) if you'd prefer to start at Roma Sur.

San Ángel | San Ángel, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City
History: Originally a rural village, it developed into a hugely colonial hotspot called San Jacinto Tenanitla and has remained a centre of historic buildings and residential complexes more or less ever since. In fact, it's UNESCO recognised.
Vibe: The posh man's Coyoacán, artesanía filled, upscale, Italian-cobbled street Mexico City anomaly.
Top Attraction: The Saturday art and artesanía markets are the big draw and they're fun to browse, if a touch overpriced at times. Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo has to be up there too.
Safety Rating: Super safe in the centre, but be careful off the main drag.
Tourist Rating: Lots of Germans and a smattering of Americans, in my experience. Mainly just posh Mexicans though, living in the Mexico City suburbs.
Closest Metro Station: Tricky to get to on the metro, I'm going to recommend using the Metrobus instead – get off at La Bombilla.

San Miguel Chapultepec | San Miguel Chapultepec, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City
History: A tiny, underrated barrio close to infinitely more popular Condesa and bordered by the Bosque de Chapultepec, San Miguel Chapultepec
Vibe: Artsy, underrated, tree-lined, quiet and residential.
Top Attraction: Casa Luis Barragán (available to see by appointment only) is just a block beyond the limits of San Miguel Chapultepec and Padella, a restaurant I was invited to eat at, is legit delicious.
Safety Rating: Pretty safe. Exercise normal caution.
Tourist Rating: You won't see many tourists in San Miguel Chapultepec despite its seemingly prime central location.
Closest Metro Station: Tacubaya (Pink, Orange and Brown Lines), Juanacatlán (Pink Line) and Constituyentes (Orange Line) all leave you right next to this tiny barrio.
San Rafael | San Rafael, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: A hub for wealthy residents escaping the city centre in the Porfiriato Period, San Rafael remains a centre with much French-influenced architecture, that exist alongside theatres and cinemas that began popping up there in the mid-20th century. More recently, it's been seen as a cheaper alternative to Roma and Condesa.
Vibe: Overwhelmingly artsy, an in-the-know visitor's alternative to Roma, leafy and charmingly lacking in architectural coherence.
Top Attraction: Cool architecture, the Art Garden and Mercado Sullivan, the latter of which takes place on the southern border of the colonia.
Safety Rating: Relatively safe. Exercise normal caution levels.
Tourist Rating: Not that many. Most artsy pretenders prefer Roma.
Closest Metro Station: San Cosmé (Blue Line).
Santa Fe | Santa Fe, Cuajimalpa/Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City
History: The officially defined Zona de Santa Fe is actually made up of ten different colonias, which explains why it's basically considered a city within a city – Santa Fe exists in a bubble. There are poor transport links to the centre of Mexico City and it's primarily made up of anonymous skyscrapers.
Vibe: Mexico City's Mordor, but with businessmen instead of Gollum.
Top Attraction: The road leading to Toluca.
Safety Rating: Safe, but massive, so there are likely some crime hotspots too.
Tourist Rating: Even the locals hate going there.
Closest Metro Station: Nope, not gunna happen. You'll need a bus or an Uber.

Santa María la Ribera | Santa María la Ribera, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: One of Mexico City's barrios mágicos, Santa María la Ribera was at its affluent peak between 1900 and 1930, as wealthy residents moved in, but the zone had deteriorated by 1950 and the earthquake took its toll in 1985. Nowadays, it's a lower-income area with a mixture of abandoned buildings, shops and historic edifices.
Vibe: Off-the-beaten path (even if saying this makes me vom in my mouth a bit), classic Mexico City, (Mexican) family-friendly.
Top Attraction: Kiosco Morisco and the Biblioteca Vasconcelos (technically in neighbouring Buenavista, but literally one block from Santa María la Ribera).
Safety Rating: Marginally sketchy, but fine in the central parts.
Tourist Rating: Still underrated despite having some of the coolest attractions in the city.
Closest Metro Station: Buenavista (Grey/ B Line).

Tepito | Tepito, Morelos, Mexico City
History: A lower-class neighbourhood since pre-Hispanic times (Tepito comes from the Nahuatl for Small Temple), it's one of the two Mexico City neighbourhoods that now has a large Korean population, and a thriving black market. It's also a breeding ground of Mexican boxers, muggers and counterfeiters and home to tons of subcultures, and is colloquially known as the Barrio Bravo. The stereotypical cantadito Mexico City accent is at its strongest in Tepito.
Vibe: Dodgy af, busy, underground, local.
Top Attraction: Santa Muerte altar or the infamous tianguis. Apparently the street food is good too.
Safety Rating: Sketchy, at all hours of the day. Tepito is the capital's biggest black market and definitely one of the places to avoid in Mexico City.
Tourist Rating: There aren't any, except idiots lulled in by media idealisations of an actually quite dangerous place. Go there if you want to get mugged, stared at or both.
Closest Metro Station: Tepito (Grey/ B Line).

Tlalpan Centro | Tlalpan Centro, Tlalpan, Mexico City
History: The centre of Tlalpan used to be a pre-Hispanic village that gradually became a type pf holiday home destination for wealthy Mexico City-ites, due to the natural surroundings. It's basically remained quiet and residential to this day.
Vibe: According to my friend, it's the humble man's Coyoacán, pueblo-esque, calm, quiet and provincial.
Top Attraction: In the centre, it's just quiet streets with colonial mansions, cafes and squares that get busy on a weekend. The neighbouring Cuicuilco Archaeological site is also pleasant and uncrowded.
Safety Rating: Reasonably safe in the day, probably best avoided at night.
Tourist Rating: You're unlikely to see any.
Closest Metro Station: Nope, it's super far south. You'll need to take a taxi or other forms of public transport. The closest you'll get is the above ground train's Xomali stop.
Related Posts: A Guide to Public Transport in Mexico City (COMING SOON) | The Best Archaeological Ruins in Mexico: The Mayans to the Aztecs and Everything in Between! (COMING SOON)
Tlatelolco | Tlatelolco, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City
History: Most associated in the public consciousness with the Tlatelolco Student Massacre of '68, Tlatelolco is an architecturally and archaeologically interesting part of Mexico City that was badly damaged in the 1985 earthquake.
Vibe: Quiet, calm.
Top Attraction: The Plaza de las Tres Culturas, which combines architecture from Mexico's three periods, the pre-Hispanic, the Colonial and the Present Day. AND THE BEST ELOTES IN THE CITY. Bold claim, I know, but no elote has ever lived up to the one I had in Tlatelolco.
Safety Rating: Fine during the day in the 'attraction' areas, not so great at night.
Tourist Rating: It's fairly underrated, but you might see a sandal-clad couple or two checking out the Plaza de las Tres Culturas.
Closest Metro Station: Tlatelolco (Olive Line).

Xochimilco Centro | Xochimilco Centro, Xochimilco, Mexico City
History: The lakiest remaining part of the city which was once all lake (seriously, who thought it was a good idea to construct a capital city atop a shifting foundation of former lake?!), Xochimilco is known for one thing – the canals. However, historically it was an independent entity, which explains why it's so vast and actually made up of 18 individual barrios. It's known for being home to the cute/ creepy native Mexican axolotls.
Vibe: Colourful, party-like atmosphere in and around the canal boats.
Top Attraction: The historic centre. Just kidding (although it is pretty nice). The trajineras, of course – Xochimilco is Mexico City's answer to Venice and is being just as destroyed by tourism.
Safety Rating: Pretty safe around the trajineras, a bit dodgy elsewhere, despite being one of the safer delegaciones in the capital. The most danger you'll face in Xochimilco comes from the elevated tourist prices of the canal boats.
Tourist Rating: Touristy around the trajineras, pretty much abandoned by tourism everywhere else.
Closest Metro Station: Too far south. You need to take the above ground train from the Tasqueña (Blue Line) metro station, all the way down to Xochimilco if you're looking for the iconic trajineras. Which everyone is.

[…] Now, I really love food and I especially love burgers, so when I was offered the chance to have dinner one Monday afternoon at the Roma branch of Butcher and Sons Mexico City, I obviously leapt at the chance. Butcher and Sons has been going strong since 2012, has five branches across the capital and is known for its quirkily named burgers, such as the Bowie or the Hendrix. While there I was treated to their burger of the month (a cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped burger, accompanied by lettuce and tomato), plus truffle-topped fries and one of the best alcoholic milkshakes I've ever had in my life. Here's why I think Butcher and Sons Mexico City is well-worth checking out next time you're in the Mexican capital. […]

A growing Korean population in Tepito? Seriously? I once walked into Tepito by accident, it was really weird and didn't feel comfortable, I actually saw some men (who obviously weren't cops or soldiers) carrying guns. I just turned around and went back to the centro historico. Later I found out that it was Tepito. My Mexican friends don't wanna go there because they're scared. I just can't imagine foreigners moving into a place like this. Then again, maybe some parts of this barrio are… nicer?
Great post lady! Totally using this as a guide for my upcoming visit to Mexico City. Well done!!
Lauren!! I just stumbled across your blog yesterday and I'm already in love! I moved to Mexico City (from Wales) about 5 months ago and am still massively overwhelmed by the place…I feel like your blog is going to be my savior! So just wanted to say thanks in advance!
Great information. And very well written.
Nicely done, Lauren. What's your favorite barrio in Mexico City? I'm guessing it will have a lil to do with the street art? 🙂
Thank you for all this information! Wow. I plan to visit there in a week. I'm staying in the Narvarte area. Already booked an Airbnb before reading your post. I'll just make sure I take a Uber everywhere I go to be safe than sorry.
This is such a helpful guide, Lauren. Thank you! I love that you described each neighbourhood by their "tourist rating" haha
Hi Lauren!!!
Love your blog, I rent an Airbnb in historic center CDMX and I will definitely will recommend your blog to my guest, as I find very accurate.
Hi Lauren
Thanks for all the great info and maps. Can you tell me what the weather is like in July?

A project I've been tracking since my first post on it last September.
Here's a recap…
Somali/Canadian rapper K'naan will make his big screen acting debut in an adaptation of a Belgian Congo period romance novel titled The Catastrophist, written by Ronan Bennett.
British filmmaker Nick Broomfield will direct.
Naturally, the love story is between 2 white characters, while the central African country (under Belgian colonial rule at the time this story takes place, sometime in the late 50s, early 60s) plays gracious (or maybe indignant) host.
Here's Amazon's synopsis of the novel:
James Gillespie, a disillusioned Irish historian turned novelist, has arrived in the Congo on the eve of independence, hoping to reunite with his Italian lover, Ines. The two had once been passionately involved in Europe, but Ines's job as a journalist took her to the Congo, where her Communist leanings have kept her. Ines is an enthusiastic supporter of Patrice Lumumba, and her journalism reflects her bias. Gillespie, on the other hand, has a novelist's broader view, and his ability to see all facets of the issue simultaneously keeps him from choosing sides and drives a wedge between him and Ines. As she becomes more involved with Lumumba and his followers, he is befriended by an American CIA agent whom Ines suspects of being an enemy. When the political situation heats up, she puts herself increasingly in harm's way until, at last, Gillespie must put his own life on the line to save hers… The Catastrophist is a love story, a historical novel, a troubling reflection on Africa's ongoing political upheaval.
Call it Out Of Africa, the sequel…? Reductive, but you get my point… I hope.
The book, which I'll readily admit I'm not familiar with, was a bestseller after it was published in 2007.
It's been revealed this morning that Dan Stevens from hit UK TV series Downton Abbey, and Frieda Pinto will star. It's not clear, but I'm assuming Stevens will play James Gillespie and Pinto will play Ines, his Italian lover. She's Indian by the way.
Filming is due to start in Tanzania in February 2013.
I had an immediate negative reaction to this project when I first learned of it for what I think should be obvious reasons. But I'll save my commentary for after I've actually read the book, or seen the film, and won't give in to knee-jerk reactions. But, frankly, from my Afrocentric POV, history just isn't on the side of films made about stories like this.
What role K'naan will play isn't yet known. Although my guess is that he'll represent the locals – maybe a, shall we say, *tour guide* of some sort, for our white hero, or his damsel in distress.
Now excuse me while I go re-watch Raoul Peck's Lumumba in the meantime… and then after that, I'll fast-forward to this century and revisit Djo Tunda Wa Munga's big *fuck you* to the *establishment*, Viva Riva!

Programming is not just for engineers.
For me, it is. I am the person who maybe have some computational literacy but without fluency and flexibility. I use software which programmers have already designed for me to use, and I use what I can get from software. When the software cannot do what I want to make, then I will give up my original thoughts if I cannot find solutions to fit my purpose. When reading articles of this week, I felt encouraged even though I still thought that the way to reach flexibility is far away.
By self-reflecting, one reason that I cannot reach fluency and flexibility is the belief that programming is for engineers or computer professionals. Programming for me is like mission impossible because I do not believe myself in building any programs which can benefit anybody. But I think I misunderstand programming or I am too ambitious when thinking creating programs like Microsoft office. Thinking my experience in Scratch and Lilypad, I indeed programmed something! However, this belief really keeps me away programming. Another reason is "programming anxiety" (Gos, 1996). The unfamiliarity and uncertainty in programming language and system increase my rejection to programming. The anxiety and frustration build higher affection filter between me and programming.
After reading articles of this week, I indeed feel encouraged and think that how to transform my view of programming as playing with mud. Program designers try hard to make software or programming easy to adapt and make it available as many people as possible to create and use for personal use. Scratch and Processing seem to have similar characteristics and goals which provide basic formats of programming language for people to create, design and learn from the process. The idea proposed by Resnich (2004) about the integration of the digital and physical worlds is a good beginning, and I will be working on viewing programming from a different point of view as well.

I'm glad you were encouraged by these readings, Ying-Sin! You are definitely a future, expert computer programmer . . . :)回覆刪除
I still think, for me and many people, beyond programming anxiety, there is the LAZINESS and IMPATIENCE factor. I don't care ENOUGH about having creative control to take the TIME and ENERGY it would take to learn how to program.
I think, in my twisted and topsy turvy moral code world, that this is okay. I think that what I will do will be limited by what I can't do, and that is okay with me. Just don't make me spend hours programming. :)
It seems that the comparisons of computers to mud is rich and approachable. For me and certainly others have found the same with empirical research, when we bring the arts in, computer programming becomes more accessible. Is this what you found appealing in the readings as well? I'm glad that your experiences with physical computing is starting to build a bridge to the big ideas of computer programming for you! Looks like I should invest in a class set of LEGO robotics as well... Would that be of interest to you Ying-Sin or anyone else in the course?回覆刪除
Wow~ That sounds intersting!!!! Playing with LEGO robotics!! I searched other softwares similar to Scratch in LEGO family, but it seems that those are not for free downloading. Did I search in a wrong direction?回覆刪除
And yes, when I read the article, Computer and Mud, I did feel the connections and viewed programming from a different angle. Yeah, I enjoy working phisical stuffs by hands, such as making silly toys and cards. Bring arts in really triggers my interest and increases more motivation.

I'm often asked what do I like to shoot with. The question comes from being past president of Hasselblad USA and people thinking I once shot professionally. While I know more than I often let on, having been fortunate enough to work with some of the finest photographers in the world, my real profile is just a guy who's always loved photography. I've had a number of images published over the years, even a couple of cover shots, but it was more because the magazines were hoping to secure some of our advertising budget than my skill set! *sigh*
So, here's the answer to the question and the images up top prompted this lazy Sunday topic. My most favorite camera and lens combination will always be the Hasseblad 503CW with the 180mm CF lens. It was a favorite for all those years at Hasselblad and the quality of the camera together with the 180mm was simply amazing.
However, most of the images you see me sharing lately as well as the video each month that accompanies my article in Shutter Magazine are all shot with Panasonic's new LUMIX GH3. I'm blown away by what Panasonic's technology has brought to the party, especially in low light situations. I've experienced just about every quality of the system the Luminaries have talked about in Luminary corner.
The image on the right of the "boyz" was shot in an extremely dark restaurant. In fact, both images are right out of the can, the first with a little window light. They're just grab shots while on vacation, no cleanup necessary. The lens I was using for both was the 12-35mm F2.8 lens.
For those of you who insist on still arguing the point of Canon vs. Nikon...that's about as relevant as the battle most of us witnessed years ago between traditional portrait artists and the wedding photo-journalists! You owe it to yourself to stay on top of technology and don't rule anything out.
A few months ago I had a conversation with good buddy Roberto Valenzuela. Over the last year or so he's expanded in shooting both medium format with Hassselblad and now video with a high end video system. (Sorry, don't know what he bought.) When I asked him why, his answer couldn't have been more perfect...
"I owe it to my clients! Unless I learn all the various techniques to capture the image, I can't improve myself as an artist. So, I want to keep growing and learning everything I can."
So, the wrap up question is really easy...What are you doing to raise the bar on your skill set and expand your creative vision as an artist? Well, maybe not so easy. LOL
Make it a great Sunday you guys and hug somebody you care about.

You, you know how to get me so low.
My heart had a crash when we spoke.
I can't fix what you broke.
You, you always have a reason,
Again & again this feelin'
Why do I give in?

See that unassuming little blue flower up there? That's the blue everlasting flower, the emblem and key ingredient in the new Crème Prodigieuse range from Parisian brand NUXE. Evolving from their bestselling Huile Prodigieuse, a dry body oil with a rake of celebrity fans like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Irish beaut.ie co-founder Aisling McDermott, this new line contains just four products: two day creams (for dry and normal-to-combination skins), one eye contour cream and one night cream.
Intended for women of all ages, the range is the product of 10 years of research on anti-oxidation and meets two fundamental skin care needs: daily anti-fatigue and moisturising action, combined with protection against oxidative stress (this is those nasty free radicals you'll have heard about, that cause damage to the skin in the aging process). It does this by teaming everlasting blue with other active ingredients including vegetable glycerine to moisturise and blue agerate (another flower) and cocoa to re-energise the skin.
|L-R: Eye contour cream, day cream, night cream
I haven't roadtested mine yet but I can tell you that they smell sublime and have really lovely textures that felt amazing when I tried them out on my hands. The prices won't break the bank, either – these come in at €23 for the day creams, €24.50 for the night cream and €18 for the eye cream. If the success of the Huile Prodigieuse is anything to go by, I expect these products will soon develop similar cult status.
Have you tried any NUXE products and what did you think? Would you give these a whirl?

A product presentation is a great opportunity to show how your product (or service) solves a specify problem. Whether it is a business problem, a personal problem or economic problem that a potential customer may be experiencing, a product presentation will help your potential customers see your unique selling points and why your product kicks your competition's arse. These videos are usually used early in the buying cycle and are particularly good if your product or service is in the introduction or growth stages of it's lifecycle.
A product demonstration is not to be confused with a product presentation. Product presentation focus on the problem that your product or service solves. Product demonstrations are the nuts and bolts of how your product does what it does. Highlight the features that differentiate it from that of your competitors. If you are selling software; use screen capture software to walk through it. If you are selling a product, use a 3D model and cut-aways of a customer using the product. These videos are typically used to influence a prospect who is relatively far along in the sales cycle. In technology marketing these videos would be targeted at the technical approvers who need to understand how something works. In consumer marketing these would be targeted at buyers of larger ticket items who are further along the sales cycle.
Third parties produce product reviews by walking through your product and service and telling an audience what they think. For you as a business, there are several different ways in which you can use product reviews to your advantage. Firstly, you can assist your previous customers to produce a product review for their website. Additionally, in order to boost SEO and produce quality content for your website, you can review products that you sell, review products that you use as a part of your business model or even review your local café in Sydney. If you are offering consultation or "expert" service offering, product reviews can be practically helpful.
Visual stories are short animations that use motion graphics and voice-over to give a quick summary of your product or explain complexities in a simple manner. These videos can be used in email marketing and built into landing pages to hook your potential client.

Rev. Charles Pye, pastor of Grace Presbyterian in Clarksville, will be co-leading two workshops as part of the Healthy Ministry Conference at the Big Tent.
Financial Issues for Candidates and Ministers – Friday, July 1 at 2:00 pm
Led by Charles Pye, minister and CPA, and Laura Bryan, associate for Financial Aid for Studies, OGA/GAMC.
Candidates are digging deep holes of debts. Ministers struggle under debt and foreclosures. What questions should CPMs, COMs, and seminaries ask? How can they help?
Bi-Vocational or "Tentmaking" Ministry – Friday, July 1 at 4:00 pm
Led by Charles Pye and Ed Hilton, tentmakers
The first-century church grew through the leadership of "tentmaker" Paul. Many believe that new church growth in the 21st century will come through the leadership of tentmakers who serve as part-time pastors and have some other employment. We will discuss the mission potential and how-tos for congregations and individuals exploring this model of ministry.
More information about the Big Tent is available at: http://gamc.pcusa.org/ministries/big-tent/

During the summer, it is easy to find locally-grown produce at farmer's markets and grocery stores; but as the warm weather wanes and frost begins to settle, our options for produce seem to dwindle even though the need to eat them remains.
"I tell my patients to follow the Weight Watchers policy when it comes to eating fruits and vegetables," said Holly Bassler, D.O. "I treat them as a freebie, meaning you can eat as much as you want without counting it against your calories for the day. Use them as your snacks and fillers."
Even though the freshly picked leafy greens and bright berries are harder to find, Dr. Bassler has some great suggestions for keeping a healthy mix of foods in your diet.
Staples like apples, carrots and celery are available year-round and are easy to cut down to snackable sizes.
"I like to keep baby carrots in snack-size containers so it's in smaller portions," she said. "These foods also tend to keep longer."
Adding color to your meals makes them more appealing.
"Bright colors tend to make food look more appetizing," Dr. Bassler explained. "Incorporate colorful vegetables into soups and sauces to make them more interesting and add that extra nutritional value."
Make fruits and vegetables easily accessible.
Dr. Bassler said she always keeps a bowl of apples out on the counter to make the right decision also the easiest decision.
Avoid microwave dinners.
"Adding in frozen vegetables can be an easy way to include more produce in your diet, but try to avoid pre-packaged microwave meals," she said.
Look for citrus.
Dr. Bassler said summer fruits are replaced with oranges, clementines and other citrus fruits in the winter. These fruits often contain high amounts of vitamin C which can help fight winter colds.
Watch for nutrient deficiencies.
"Vitamin D is the most common nutrient deficiency up here," Dr. Bassler said. "Mushrooms contain a higher amount of vitamin D, but you may want to consider a supplement. If you start feeling low on energy, moody, or have trouble healing, these could be signs of a more severe deficiency and you may want to consider calling your doctor's office."

When you need to show your client a new website, you don't want to have to bring them into your home office. If you are in college, you need a way to take notes. Learn how to get yourself a laptop quickly by using the following article to your advantage.
If watching HD movies or playing video games is your main objective, then you should buy a laptop that has a graphic chip dedicated to that. Most laptops make use of integrated chips that don't have enough muscle to handle certain video needs. Determine if quad-core chips or dual-core processors are what you need.
Look for good laptop deals on home shopping networks. These sites have you pay monthly installments towards laptops without inconveniences like credit checks. Just for about a hundred a month you can probably get yourself a good laptop that you've been wanting.
You don't necessarily need a graphics processing unit just because you plan to play games on your laptop. Most regular gamers do just fine on the average laptop. A gaming laptop probably offers and costs a lot more than necessary. Instead, save money and don't opt for a high-end laptop.
Your laptop will last longer if you have a cooling pad. One of the reasons laptops fail is that they get too hot. That's why the simple investment of $20 for a cooling pad could be such an important accessory.
Before you make a laptop purchase, search on the internet for discounts and coupons. While you may not find any, you should definitely search first. You will be disappointed if you don't search and then find out later it was available much more affordably elsewhere.
When shopping for a laptop, consider going a little above your original price point. Advances in technology move swiftly, so you will want to get the most up to date computer that you can. Just a small spec bump can make a difference between the laptop that only lasts one year and one that will last more.
Make sure to check the battery life when buying a laptop. Even if you don't plan on taking the machine on the road much, you still don't want to be annoyed by having to constantly recharge. Look for at least four hours of battery life when you won't be far from power outlets and no less than five should you be.
If you want a laptop, look at both Windows and Mac options. Windows based laptops are generally cheaper than Macs; however, the interface on a Mac is preferable to some people. You can try them out at your local electronics store. You can also check out reviews online to help you learn the pros and cons of each type of laptop.
Once you decide on a budget for a laptop, consider bumping it up just a bit. Basic laptops will not last as long as the more technologically advanced ones. Going slightly above what you originally want to pay can mean another year of productive use out of your laptop.
Don't be isinformed when shopping or thinking about netbooks. While many people think netbooks are just a smaller laptop, they are wrong. Netbooks are a simple alternative for email and Internet use, but do not have the capability and power of the laptop. If you truly need a laptop, then stay away from netbooks.
Count the number of USB ports. Many people forget to check this feature. You could have a situation where you do need to use more than one USB port at a time. To use the items that you want, you should look for a laptop that offers at least four USB ports.
Make a definitive list of all the things you plan to do with your laptop. For instance, will you be using it in the kitchen for recipes while you cook? If so, it will need a waterproof skin. Your list is going to tell you what features you need the most.
If you're purchasing a laptop solely for entertainment, check out tablets. The best thing about tablets is that they run on simple (and cheap) apps, so really anything you need is a few button pushes away. Many tablets all have the option where you can have a wireless connection to a keyboard, this way you can use it to write emails, or use it like a notepad.
Protection Plan
A laptop is more prone to damage from moving around than a stationary PC. For this reason, you may want to consider an extended protection plan. A protection plan can save you big money if you should drop or other wise damage your computer. Always read the fine print and make sure you understand the terms of the coverage.
A laptop computer that is carried from place to place is more likely to be the victim of an accident than a desktop, so consider a protection plan when you buy. If your laptop is dropped or damaged somehow, a protection plan might save your money. Find out exactly what types of issues are covered by your warranty before purchasing it.
The main use of your laptop will dictate which one you should purchase. Some computers are built for gaming, while others are more appropriate for work. Consider what you will be using your laptop for, and aim to buy based on that knowledge. It doesn't hurt to also keep an eye out for some nifty bonus features often included by manufacturers.
Shop smart when you shop for a laptop. Go to stores in your area, and spend time looking at the different options. Play around with different ones so that you can find one that you're comfortable with. After you have found the computer you want, look it up online and find the best deal.
Do not overlook the mouse that accompanies a laptop. Lots of integrated mouse designs exist these days. It is important to know if you prefer ball mice, track pads or button style mice. You can always change out the mouse later, but start with a model that you like the best.
Think about what you are going to use your laptop for before you buy it. For example, some computers are designed for gaming, while others are designed for business. Know what your ideal purpose is for your laptop, and buy a model that serves that purpose well.
A majority of laptop users don't require the most powerful computing power. Usually laptops are used for productivity rather than as devices for high-powered gaming or graphics. The less the laptop has of these things, the cheaper it will be. This is why you shouldn't start adding things that you really don't need.
Think about getting your laptop computer from a vendor offering extended warranties. It isn't cheap to repair or replace a laptop. Purchasing an extended warranty can save you a lot of money.
Most newer laptops have no optical drive in them for DVDs or Blu-rays. This is happening due to the fact that most things can be streamed online now. If you want to burn discs or watch your DVDs on your computer, make sure that there is a DVD drive.
A major component in a laptop will be the graphics card. Integrated graphic chips are typically good for the basic functions of a laptop. If you really enjoy watching videos, movies and gaming, you want a dedicated graphics chip for better performance. It's important to note that laptops specifically made for gaming often have some of the best chips inside of them.
To make it easier to find your usual programs, there is a pin feature that lets you attach them to your Start menu. After you see the shortcut you want, right click the mouse and hit the option that lets you pin to the Start menu. You can more easily access you favorite programs rather than looking in the "All Programs" folder.
To get the most out of how long your laptop is able to retain power, try dimming your screen as much as you can handle. A display screen drains the most power of your laptop's battery, so lowering this setting will extend your battery's life considerably. Go to your Control Panel to change the settings there.
Try buying a laptop that has several security features for personal or work use This is especially true if you do banking on it. Some laptops have better security features than others. But, keep in mind that nothing is completely fail safe, so maintain vigilance at all times.
In terms of laptops, brand names are not everything. Look at what others are saying about all the brands of laptops out there including Apple, Toshiba, Sony, or even Acer. Most popular brands have similar rating but it can be good to know which ones have persistent problems.
Compare prices before buying a laptop. When you know the laptop you want to purchase, you can visit multiple sites and find the best deals and offers. Be careful with comparisons of the same features and models to make sure they're valid.
Dedicated Graphics
If you want a light, affordable computer, go for a "no drive bay" option. Software must be installed via online download or USB key, however you'll save lots of money by skipping drives. If you need a DVD drive, get a portable one that attaches via USB.
If you're a gamer or a person who uses a lot of memory intensive programs, you may not need a dedicated graphics chip. A dedicated graphics card will greatly reduce battery life and are typically power hogs. A lot of people get their laptops because they're sure that the dedicated GPU is needed, but a lot of the time they don't use it beyond that.
Determine what software on your laptop is pre-programmed. Most likely you will need a word processor as well as spreadsheet producing software. Make sure that the available programs are not trials. You'll have to pay for these programs if you want them.
Choose models that have less storage to save money. For most purposes, a terabyte of memory is not necessary. You can save money by choosing something that has less space. Use the money saved to get more processing speed.
Keep an eye on your laptop throughout any security checkpoint or screening process, so that it doesn't disappear on you. Laptops are easy to swipe at these checkpoints. Make sure you can see it throughout its trip down the conveyor belt.
Once you have reached a decision about your laptop model, search for complaints online. Find its model number, and look online using words like "not working" and "problem." This can help you find out about defects you'll want to avoid, such as batteries that fail quickly or hinges that wear out.
Keep laptops plugged in when possible. Even though convenience is one of the reasons you made the purchase, you shouldn't use the battery unless it is needed. The more this is used when it's plugged in, the better battery life you'll get.
If you have to send your laptop through the mail, or with a shipping company, protect it well and put it in the right shipping package. Laptop kits are available to keep your device safe during shipping. Purchase one if you need to ship your laptop.
Don't forget to think about how user friendly the touchpad and keyboard are. The keys on a laptop are very close together and touchpad sensitivity varies from one computer to the next. Different models are known to have better and worse keyboards and touchpads. Read online reviews to find out the strengths and weaknesses of different brands.
If you want a good idea of what your new laptop will be like before you buy, watch online videos of it in operation. You may even learn something with these tips.
To maximize the quality of your laptop display, take a look at the pixels included on the display. Don't choose a pixel resolution lower than 1366 x 768. If you have the possibility of getting a 1600×900 or even a 1920×1080, do it! You'll be able to view things better and multi-task with ease.
Operating System
Consider the screen when you're purchasing a laptop computer. Glossier screens might not work great when in places with harsh lighting since reflections may be distracting. However, if you're working in a dimly lit environment, you may appreciate a bigger, easy-to-see screen.
If you've been wondering whether your next top should be a Mac or a PC, think about what your needs are. If it is for work, it should be the same operating system as other computers at your location. If it's for use at home, networking goes more smoothly if each computer has the same operating system as well.
Get a sleeve that's snug for your laptop. There are a lot of cases available for carrying your laptop around. The case should be snug on your laptop. If it doesn't fit snugly, you computer will bounce around and could get damaged. You want it snug, like the way a glove feels on your hand.
With a good laptop, you can share all kinds of information with your clients on the spot. Take notes easily at any lecture hall or conference. Because of the advice gained in this article, you will have the power to compute anytime or anyplace you wish.
Just how often do you think you will watch DVD movies with the help of your new laptop? Having a DVD drive on your laptop will add to its cost. Consider these factors before you purchase a laptop computer.

What is Technology?
During the previous century and well into the twenty first century (dubbed the "Knowledge Era"), technology has evolved to the point where it is now synonymous to numerous terminologies. Technology can be termed as Objects similar to tools, machines, instruments, weapons; as Knowledge similar to technological know-how and innovation; as Activities similar to skills, methods, procedures; as a Process which begins with a need and ends with a solution and finally as a Socio-technical System which occurs through the manufacture and use of objects involving people and other objects in combination. entrepreneurship
Technology is a word with origins in the Greek word technologia (τεχνολογία), techno (τέχνη) "craft" and logia (λογία) "saying." It is a broad term dealing with the use and knowledge of humanity's tools and crafts.
Categorically speaking technology is the process by which humans modify nature and the environment to meet their needs and wants. Most people, however, think of technology in terms of its artifacts: computers and software, aircraft, pesticides, water-treatment plants, birth-control pills, and microwave ovens, to name a few. But it is more than these tangible products; it is the technical means people use to improve their surroundings. It should also be noted that the knowledge and processes used to create and to operate technological artifacts -- engineering know-how, manufacturing expertise, and various technical skills -- are equally important parts of technology.
How Technology fits into the 21st Century Landscape
Diagram showing the flow of Technology through Civilization
The above diagram from Harvard University School of Engineering illustrates the relationship between technology and civilization over the centuries, here it can be seen why the terms technology' and civilization' are sometimes synonymous.
In this the "Knowledge era" the focus is usually on employment, industrial productivity, increased standard of living/enhanced lifestyle, etc. The following are a few examples of advances in technology within the Caribbean.
Americas Region Caribbean Optical-ring System ("ARCOS"), is an undersea broadband fiber-optic cable network which supports the Flow Network. Flow provides Digital Cable, Landline and High Speed Internet to several Caribbean countries bringing exposure to the outside world through Cable TV; and mass communication through the telephone and internet.

There are all sorts of machines that work better when kept at temperatures near absolute zero. Some of these machines affect areas you might not expect, like astronomy. There are instruments on telescopes -- including the Hubble Space Telescope -- that need incredibly cold temperatures to work.
The advantage of looking at stars through a telescope instead of with your naked eye is not only that telescopes magnify everything dramatically but also they can see light that's invisible to the human eye. The kind of light we can see is just a drop in the bucket compared to all the kinds of light -- or radiation -- that exists in the world. Instruments on telescopes can be built, for example, to see infrared radiation.
To us, infrared radiation feels like heat, but in fact it too is a kind of light wave. (Infrared radiation is also what night goggles detect -- they are actually "seeing" heat, which is why people and animals, which are much warmer than their environment, stand out so well.)
It's pretty obvious that "seeing" heat could be helpful to astronomers -- you can imagine how detecting the heat streaming off of different stars and galaxies could help astronomers understand things like what a star is made of or how hot it is. But if that instrument sits at room temperature it will "see" heat coming in from all around it. It's not going to get a good reading on the stars -- just as if you were looking for a faint star and someone kept shining a flashlight in your face. So, instruments that detect infrared radiation have to be kept extremely cold -- down to temperatures just a few degrees above absolute zero. Those temperatures can only be achieved using cryogenic techniques that have been perfected by low-temperature physics, like using liquid helium.
Search for pictures of infrared images on the Internet. You should be able to find a wide variety -- medical images, artistic images, astronomy images, and weather images, just to name a few. Compare and contrast them with "normal" images.
What stands out? Which pictures look more interesting, eerier, sharper or prettier? Why do you think that is?
NASA's Landsat satellite detects infrared radiation as it watches the Earth. One of the things it can help locate is a forest fire.
Can you think of other things on Earth that infrared radiation might help detect?
There are several good ways to "see" infrared radiation in the world. The best would be to look through a pair of infrared goggles – but these are expensive gadgets. You can also look online at astronomical infrared images Here is a good starting page or Landsat infrared images of the Earth. But there are two good ways to "see" infrared yourself.
1) Using infrared film
The first good way to see infrared radiation is with infrared film. It's not too expensive and fits right into a standard 35-mm camera. It can be bought online or in a well-stocked photography store. If you have two cameras, fill one with infrared film and one with regular film. Take photos with your camera -- or take the same shot twice, if you have two cameras. Take pictures of animals and plants, ice cubes and candle flames, daytime shots and nighttime shots. Try taking photos through a glass of ice water and then through one of hot water.
Most regular developing companies will not be able to develop your infrared film -- you'll have to take it to a specialty store. If you don't have a specialty developer nearby, you should be able to find one online. Here's one possibility: http://www.rockymountainfilm.com/infrared.htm
If you know how to develop film, the directions for infrared film are halfway down the page here: http://www.vividlight.com/Articles/2915.htm .
2) Sensing with radiometers
A radiometer (can be inexpensively purchased online here)
A radiometer looks like a light bulb with a weather vane inside. The weather vane will spin around when it experiences light -- including infrared light. The faster the weather vane spins the more intense the light. Conduct a survey with the radiometer. Place it near light bulbs, place it near the light bulb in the fridge and place it near a fireplace or a radiator.
After doing the above two activities, discuss what you learned about the heat -- and infrared radiation -- coming off of your objects. What gave off more light than you expected? What gave off less? How did heat and cold affect the amount of infrared radiation and normal light coming off of the objects?

This is a Kelsey, Flora Story. Pictured is Kelsey on the left, now age 18 and Flora is on the right, now 2 & 1/2.
While visiting Marty, Amy, Flora and Charley I was reminded again what Dad remembered even the last weeks before he passed away. He was in ICU in Nevada Hospital, I think it was March 20th, 2008, we all were visiting, Dad looked at Galen and was talking to him about Kelsey going to college, and how smart her, Carter and Conner was and what good kids they were.
He then ALWAYS said and this would make him laugh, "I will never forget what Kelsey told me about her Daddy driving, she was in the back seat in her car seat, could not have been more than 2. Galen, me and Kelsey were in the car and Galen was driving, Kelsey said "My Daddy drives to Fast!" Dad NEVER forgot what she said and I heard it numerous times over the next 16 years.
While visiting Marty, Amy, Flora, Charley and I got into the car one day to head to the park, Flora said to her Mommy, "Don't drive to fast" I instantly remembered Dad's story about Kelsey. I am so glad the simple things in life make us happy! Dad and Mom Loved their Grandchildren and talked about all of them constantly. A visit from us "kids" as they called us and the grandkids was the highlight of their life!

30 Moves
The picture to the left (Carol Burnett Cleaning Lady) is pretty much the way I looked after the last 2 days I have been helping Andrew move out of his apartment where he has lived the last year. It's funny how young people live in their houses, condos, apartments and dorms and NEVER clean them!!(believe me in Real Estate Sales I have seen a lot of how people live!)
These same young people want to save the planet, recycle and live Green? Little do they know how they are living in their own space could be a danger to their health and the planet! And if those Dust Bunnies ever got out of the house they could just destroy the earth!
Moving is hard but harder is cleaning the bathroom scum, trying to find the kitchen counter top?? and chasing dust bunnies the size of real bunnies! All in an effort to get the rental deposit back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_bunny
I spent 16 hours total and when I came home I felt like a Mac Truck had ran over me!

One of Andrew's weekly letters to Papa & Grandma Brittingham
Again, while cleaning old pictures and cards from Mom and Dad's house I found this little letter they saved from Andrew age 10 at the time. Andrew had a Creepy Crawler Super Oven
Creepy Crawlers Bug maker Oven, They Ooze in, But Crawl Out! - The Classic is Back! Create up to 50 Bugs with your Bugmaker Oven. Enter the laboratory and craft a new crew of creepy crawlers. Pick the pattern of every inch of every inchworm and...(read more) Manufacturer's
When Andrew (& Marty when he was little) wrote a letter to Papa and Grandma, they would write a letter back and include a dollar bill! (This really was a "bribe" from Papa and Grandma, but we never told Marty and Andrew) we just encouraged them to write to Papa and Grandma for they enjoyed their letters so much.

My 3 Son's
Left to Right: Sherman Arthur, Grandma Brittingham, Vernon and Dad (Stanley Lee Brittingham) Dad kinda has that "Elvis" look don't you think?
Sunday, September 14, 2008
This was when Dad was appointed Chief of Police in the early 1960's. This picture was in the Daily Mail newspaper. The gentleman in the suit is the City Manager, the gentlemen on the far right side by Dad is the janitors. The gentleman next to Dad on the left was Sterling James, he used to bring Dad home from his shifts on Cherry Street before Dad became Chief, we were always outside playing and Sterling would always give us nickels or dimes. Dad was proud of his force and insisted they ALWAYS be in proper uniform as he was.

Forecast Calls for More Federal Spending
The only people in Huntsville, Ala., who may not know when the next tornado will strike will be the staff at the National Weather Service — in Huntsville, Ala.
That's because the Huntsville office of the National Weather Service (NWS) hasn't been functional since the late 1990s. The office halted its warning and forecasting operations in 1997 after the National Weather Service moved the Tennessee Valley Region operations to Birmingham. The move was part of a nationwide cost-cutting effort that closed about 150 offices.
But the federal government still ponies up close to half a million dollars annually to pay for office space and staff salaries.
Rep. Bud Cramer, D-Ala., is trying to get the Huntsville office reestablished as a warning and forecasting operation. He argues that the Huntsville office should never have been part of the cutbacks.
"In an effort to downsize, the National Weather Service slated communities to close their weather office," said Grace Robinson, Cramer's spokesman. "Huntsville wasn't one of them."
Robinson said that the Modernization Transition Committee (MTC) — established under a federal statute to determine offices that were suitable for closure — did not agree to closing the Huntsville office, and the status of the Huntsville office was left in limbo when the MTC disbanded in 2000.
But a source at the National Weather Service said that in December 1999, the MTC signed off on closing the Huntsville office, provided the National Weather Service could prove that the Birmingham office — where the warning and forecasting operations moved — was providing better service to northern Alabama. The National Weather Service has met that criterion, the source said.
"In Huntsville, between 1986-1997, [the Huntsville office] had lead times for tornadoes of seven minutes," the source said. "In Birmingham, between December 1997 and February 2001, the average tornado lead time was 14 minutes," an improvement of 100 percent.
Curtis Carey, the public affairs director at the National Weather Service, said his agency will recommend to Commerce Secretary Don Evans, who makes the final determination, that the Huntsville office be closed. "Under the public law, we had to prove there is no degradation of service, " he said. "We're abiding by the law."
Waste Not, Want Not
One watchdog group believes that Cramer's push to revamp the Huntsville office, which Robinson admits would be costly, is simply a wasteful program that has long outlived its usefulness.
"It's amazing to see a member of Congress prevent the [National Weather Service] from even making the most basic cuts," said Sean Rushton, media director for Citizens Against Government Waste, an organization that tracks federal spending. "He's not acting on good governance, but parochial interests."
But Rushton — who admitted that his group believes that the entire National Weather Service should be entirely privatized — added that he understands Rep. Cramer's motivation.
"When you try to pick off any one program, you can find any individual member of Congress who thinks his constituency needs it," Rushton said.
Despite the Service's plan to shut down the Huntsville office, Cramer is fighting tooth and nail to keep the office open. Cramer's spokeswoman said that northern Alabama's weather patterns demand it.
Alabama had 13 fatalities last year from three tornadoes. In all, 14 of the 1,067 tornadoes across the nation last year were lethal, causing 40 fatalities.
"It needs its own unique forecasting operation. It's a matter of public safety," Robinson claimed. It maintains an around-the-clock liaison with the Birmingham office and emergency managers throughout northern Alabama
Robinson admits that getting the Huntsville office up to speed will be costly since "it's been mothballed since the early '90's." But Cramer feels that is necessary, nonetheless. The office should be empowered to run at full capacity, Robinson said.
Robinson said they are confident that the office will be re-activated since Cramer, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, has been lobbying key players, including Commerce Secretary Evans, to reach a compromise.


text: A fixed annuity works very much like a cd at the bank. You will receive a guaranteed rate of interest for a specific time period, such as 3, 5, 7yrs or more. The main benefit of course is that the gains on the annuity account are deferred, unlike a non-qualified cd at the bank, where you pay taxes on the interest earned every year, wether or not you take out the interest as income.

Daily Tax Report: State provides authoritative coverage of state and local tax developments across the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, tracking legislative and regulatory updates,...
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's (D) plan to create a new payroll tax could run into trouble in the Republican-controlled state Senate.
Senate Majority Leader John J. Flanagan (R) told reporters Feb. 13 that it's unlikely the Legislature could approve a new payroll tax in time for the April 1 start of the state's fiscal year.
Flanagan said he needed to see more details on Cuomo's plan, but "my visceral reaction is I think all of our colleagues are opposed to that," referring to Republican senators' position on the proposed payroll tax.
Cuomo will need the support of Senate Republicans if his plan stands a chance of passage.
Flanagan's comments come one day after Cuomo released more details on a plan to mitigate the impact of the 2017 federal tax act's ( Pub. L. No. 115-97) limit on state and local tax deductions. The primary ideas are a new payroll tax and creation of two charitable funds. He also plans to sue the federal government. Additional details, including actual bill language, are expected Feb. 15.
Flanagan gave his remarks during a press conference to announce a $1.1 billion proposed tax cut package aimed largely at reducing income and property taxes for small businesses.
The plan also would extend the state's 0 percent corporate income tax rate to all manufacturers, regardless of how they're organized. Under current law, only manufacturers organized as C corporations are eligible for the zero percent rate.
Flanagan said manufacturers would save an estimated $90 million.
The tax plan, which hasn't been drafted in legislation, will serve as the basis for Senate Republicans to negotiate a budget deal with Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie (D).

I know I'm a little late with a Halloween card, but I do have a good reason (really I do). Here in Australia Halloween isn't celebrated like it is else where. But having said that it is slowly creeping into our culture. I made this card with leftover cutouts from a basket I made for Emsy. I used the latest CPS sketch here & basically used up some leftovers from other projects.
I'd share the basket I made so Emsy could go trick or treating (at one neighbour, who I supplied the treats for) but our camera is deader (yes a new word :P) than, well Halloween it self. Oh well lets add it to the long, long list of things that need replacing.
Happy crafting everyone xoxoxoxo

Scientists commonly buy clenbuterol because it is a selective beta-2 angonist/antagonist. Its primary medical use in many parts of the world is actually as a bronchodialator, while it is not approved for human use in the northern part of America. It is nonetheless still being used in veterinarian substance, being applied for various treatments as well as purposes. With regards to the purpose to buy this supplement is to give energy to sportsmen and bodybuilders, its function as beta-2 agonist may help to increase lypolysis. This is achieved through an increase in basal metabolic process, and also increased heat generation in the mitochondria that functions to improve body temperature and thus boosting thermogenesis.
Benefits of Buying Clenbuterol
Additionally, it has been demonstrated that a good reason to buy clenbuterol is its ability to instantly stimulate fat tissue and increase the breakdown of triglycerides, thus developing free fatty acids. All of this is completed while clenbuterol has a minimal effect on the heart of the individual. This is due to the fact that the substance's being a selective beta-2 agonist/antagonist and having a small influence on the particular beta-1 receptors. This should cause less adverse side effects, at least cardiovascularly, for the person. Another advantage to buy this product to athletes is surely an improvement in durability along with a achievable improvement in muscle tissue size/lean body mass. It has been continuously proven in animal studies that clenbuterol results in a rise in muscular mass, weight and necessary protein content. Such as other beta-2 agonists, scientists who buy this product have proven that it can increase buff strengthened helps in quickly build a tolerance to clenbuterol. Again, these effects were obtained in animal research yet there is little reason to think that it would not be transferable to human users. These gains are produced with time and not due to any specific stimulatory result of the substance. However, the exact process by which these results are obtained by using clenbuterol is not identified. This product does increase muscle protein functionality therefore this is more likely to contribute but is unlikely to be the sole cause.
Use and Dosing
It is necessary when deciding to buy this supplement to understand the terms of its dosing schedule. And it's important to quickly build a tolerance to clenbuterol. Most people can be well served to separate their dosages into two or three evenly spaced doses throughout the day. The first can be consumed after waking up and the next one or two others throughout the remaining portion of the morning and/or afternoon. This is due to the half-life of the substance being approximately seven to nine hours. Using this like a guide, frequent dosing is needless. The only extreme caution is that one should avoid taking a dose too late in the evening to help and reduce the effect the material will have on the sleep pattern of a user. Many of the people think that after taking this supplement for few weeks and after stop using this product they will lose its effects but this wrong concept.

They were members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Montrose. David and Janet had also resided in Moab before moving to Montrose where they made their home until their time of death. David was employed as a service man for Natural Gas for many years prior to his retirement. He also worked for Sharing Ministries and loved to spend time in the outdoors, fishing, camping, hiking and working in the garden.
David knew the Lord and this was very important to him and his family. The bible verse John 3:16 was his favorite; "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life." One of the first bible verses children learn is John 3:16 as it carries the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. David was known as a kind and generous man. He knew no strangers and was a friend to all he met.
Survivors include his son, David L. Arthur Jr. (Sandra), of Bullhead City, Ariz.; daughters Danace Arthur and Deana Sanchez (Theodor) both of Grand Junction, Colo.; brothers John Arthur of Casa Grande, Ariz., and Pat Arthur of Ordway, Colo.; one sister Ella Booth of Grand Junction, Colo.; five grandchildren Kendra, Joel, Tori, Davanna and Cody and three great-grandchildren: Allyson, Peyton and Xavier. David was preceded in death by his wife Janet and brother Roy Arthur.
A gathering and celebration of his life was held Saturday, May 19, 2018 at his home in Montrose. Crippin Funeral Home & Crematory in Montrose is assisting the family.

The strangest thing happened yesterday. I gathered a stack of books for the children from the church library and took them home. Each had been chosen, one by one. When I got home, I was moving them from the kitchen to another location. Within the stack, I found the companion study book to Kerry and Chris Shook's One Month to Live. We had a series about this sometime last year at CUMC.
How'd that book get in there? I don't know. But, I thought how this 30 day challenge is a perfect way to go through the Advent season and remember what's important in my life. It's central idea is what would you do if you only had one month to live? I'll finish it on my birthday, just in time to ring in the New Year.
If anyone would like to join me in this challenge I have a few extra books in my office. I'll even give you a green band bracelet to remind you to "live with no regrets."
