Meet Alexis and John. 9 years ago we were neighbors. We spent a few months across the street from each other at Cabo Glorietta in Cabo San Lucas in the Baja Sur. Once again, we are neighbors in an RV park. The thing I remember most about John was his tomatoes he was growing in buckets in the sun in front of his RV.
They are on their first visit to Mexico since 2001, we are enjoying our first visit to Mexico's west coast. They tell us there is a bar here called the Soggy Taco (quite a name for a bar. Hope the beers cold). Just like to world famous The Office on the beach in Cabo. Guess where we gotta go before we leave here.
The hills around here are so colorful!
Same bike ride, looking down the beach into San Carlos. The mountain you see in the background is called Tetakawi (tooth of the dragon or goats tit, depending on who you're talking to), certainly the signature of this area.
Tatakawi is also the focus of Mar's current art project. Here's how it looks this morning.
Yesterday's weather was, as you can see, sunny and 30C (high 80's F). You can tell it's really warm when all the snowbirds are sitting in the shade.
See you tomorrow?

Our planet is in a remarkably circular orbit around the Sun, but as new research points out, Earth's orbit sometimes experiences a slight jolt, thanks to the combined gravitational influence of Jupiter and Venus. Incredibly, this cycle has been going on for at least 215 million years—and one scientist suggests it could possibly have influenced the trajectory of life on this planet, according to the new study published yesterday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Jupiter and Venus elongate Earth's orbit to a tiny but measurable degree every 405,000 years, explained Dennis V. Kent, the lead author of the new study and a professor at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Kent believes this highly predictable and long-running celestial pattern could be used to study geological changes on Earth and subsequent environmental and ecological shifts—and because this cycle can be traced back to the Late Triassic Era, it could even tell us something about the dinosaurs.

Whose customer is it anyways?
Selling and supporting commodity storage challengers is more work than punting a Dell or HP SAN into the SME, but they offer the same (or better) reliability for a lower cost. That means that the margin Dell or HP is taking on the SAN hardware and on their four hour enterprise support now belongs to the MSP.
Perhaps more importantly to the MSP in question, by going this route they retain ownership of the customer relationship. Put a Dell into a company and you're just an interchangeable tech supporting a name-brand system, as interchangeable as the guy that comes to swap your ADSL modem.
Put something in that isn't a household name and suddenly it isn't the badge on the front that matters, but the fellow who makes it go. At the higher end, this doesn't matter. You do protracted consulting, bill enough hours to put an entire primary school through post-secondary and otherwise insinuate yourself so deeply into the company that dislodging you takes a task force of accountants and a replacement contractor.
In the SME world, however, an MSP can go months or even years without hearing from a client. They put a solution in, it "just works" and that's that.
The sticky bit
Some systems administrators consider the use of solutions that aren't from a dominant enterprise manufacturer a breach of professional ethics. The only acceptable solutions are the solutions everyone else is using, because those solutions are used by everyone.
For some, the argument is that enterprise solutions can be serviced by anyone bearing the right certificate, letting you know exactly who to hire. For others, they feel that enterprise class gear is "more reliable," though like-for-like statistics are difficult to come by. Such statistics are even harder to find supporting the enterprise-vendor side of the argument.
The most common argument is based not in technical or professional ethics but in personal morality. The more vociferous agitators against the newcomers argue that we should deploy everything identically. Sysadmins "should" differentiate themselves not by what they sell but by the more ephemeral measure of "the quality of their support".
Similarly, rank after rank of SMEs all with identical IT infrastructure and identical workflows are told they should differentiate themselves to their customers via location and "quality of service". This argument is rooted in a belief that the purity of design – typically the design the complainant is personally most familiar with – needs to come before any consideration of efficiency or affordability.
In the enterprise world, some or all of these arguments have merit. They even have merit with regards to some SMEs. They are the arguments that established vendors and challengers will need to both champion and defeat in the next few years. The rest of us, however, should start learning about products from this up-and-coming tier of "proper" SME storage providers. ®

Faculty Assistant: Wendy Angus
The aim of Felipe Barrera-Osorio's research is to determine how different educational incentives impact the learning outcomes of primary- and secondary school-aged children in different contexts and levels of education development. He uses identification methods to find causal effects of educational programs in a large array of outcomes. Barrera-Osorio is currently evaluating several interventions that use random assignment, regression discontinuity designs, difference-in-difference, and instrumental variables approaches. His research extends across countries on three continents: Africa, Asia and Latin America. Current projects include interventions that provide students and families incentives to encourage the students to attend and perform better in school. Examples of such interventions include conditional cash transfers (Bogota, Colombia and Sindh, Pakistan); reductions in user fees (Bogota, Colombia); scholarships (Cambodia), and reductions in commute times (Sindh, Pakistan). Other projects aim to change the behavior of teachers and principals. Examples of these interventions include: teacher incentive programs (Punjab, Pakistan); strong accountability systems (Punjab, Pakistan); private provision of public education (Uganda and Pakistan), and information to teachers on pedagogy (Uganda).Felipe Barrera-Osorio holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park, U.S.A. and a B.A. in Economics from Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia. Between 2004 and 2006, He was the Deputy Director of the Colombian think-tank Fedesarrollo. Barrera-Osorio moved to the United States in 2006 to work as a senior economist at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. Since 2011, he has been an assistant professor of education and economics at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Barrera-Osorio is part of the policy committee of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies and affiliated with the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard. Since 2007 he has been part of the executive committee of LACEA's Impact Evaluation Network, which he helped to create. In 2008, Barrera-Osorio was awarded the Juan Luis Londoño Medal for research in education. The recognition is given every other year to a Colombian economist under the age of 40.

Every beer lover knows that the right glass can actually enhance the tasting experience. There are almost as many different types of glassware as there are types of beer (okay, not quite but it seems like it). You can check some of the more popular styles here.
Straight Stein
This proto-typical beer glass is wonderful for lighter tasting beers. It has a narrow mouth to concentrate the aromas at the top of the glass and a handle to avoid warming the beer up.
Stemmed Lager
Lagers, typically, have fewer aromas than ales and should be consumed at a colder temperature. This stemmed glass offers benefits to the drinker – tall and narrow to focus the great aromas at the top and a stem to keep your hand away from the beer.
Who says snifters are only for brandy? They're also great for specialty beers. The short stem invites the drinker to envelop the glass, bringing up the temperature in the beer, creating a fuller taste and allowing the body of the beer to be appreciated. A sloped lip on the top of the glass keeps the foam in tact and focuses the aromas.
Pub Glass
A pub glass is great for a variety of ales. Ales, like red wines, need a glass with a wide open mouth. The abundance of aromas can rise to the top to greet the drinker while the narrow bottom allows the glass to warm up slightly. Pub style glasses are an excellent partner to a stout.
An hourglass is a multi-dimensional glass. Tall and narrow, it also has a mouth that presents a variety of flavours and aromatics. Fill it with an amber lager or amber ale such as a honey brown and truly savour the great beer.
Footed Pilsener
This is a great glass for a typical Canadian ale. These ales have the fruity, floral aromas of an ale but are refreshing and smooth like a lager. The aromas are not overly abundant and this glass narrows the focus for the drinker.
Flared Pilsener
Pilseners are lagers with slightly more bitterness and aromas and therefore need a glass that embodies the style. This tall glass with the flared opening help concentrate the aromas of the beer on the top of the glass.
Dimpled Mug
Full bodied ales are a good choice for this glass. The handle is large enough to get your hand around the glass if you want to warm it up. Like it a little colder? Use the handle! A nice wide mouth will bring all those great flavours to your tastebuds very easily.
Amber Chalice
Another great glass for a great ale – whether it's a dark, amber, brown or even a stout, this glass truly showcases the terrific attributes of the beer.
This glass is designed to accentuate the aromas and flavours found in most wheat beers (especially German Weiss Biers). Naturally more effervescent, this tall glass requires a slow gentle pour at the beginning and when the beer is 3/4 full, a more direct pour to create a thick, creamy foam. The wide open mouth of the glass showcases the variety of aromas to the drinker.
Strong beers (Trappist styles or bocks) are well presented in the tulip glass. The open mouth brings the nose of the beer to life while the round body allows you to warm it up, intensifying those wonderful flavours. A tulip-shaped glass is also a good fit for fruit beers.

Richard Florida...thinks it needs a "robust community process," in which an outside group could help build consensus with the surrounding community and create a plan that takes their wishes into account. "You can have serendipity," he said. "But when you're building a community, you also need a strategy." — NYT
Timothy Pratt profiled Tony Hsieh and his Downtown Project for the Sunday NYT Magazine. The project began when the chief executive of Zappos decided to lease the former City Hall, instead of buying land and building the typical Silicon Valley corporate campus. In order to provide an attractive urban community for his employees, Hsieh went one step further and started the Downtown Project, a $350 million urban experiment to build "the most community-focused large city in the world". The goal is not R.O.I. but maximizing R.O.C (Return on community) and increasing "serendipitous encounters".

TurtleRok produces the highest quality handmade coffee mugs at our studio located in Bradenton, Florida. Our passion for making the best handmade coffee mugs and our commitment to customer service set us apart.
Slight imperfections are a part of handmade pottery and add character to the mugs I make. This is something that you cannot find in lifeless, factory made ceramic ware - but you knew that already, and that is why you are here! Each TurtleRok stoneware item is hand thrown on the potters wheel.
Needless to say, TurtleRok's coffee mugs make perfect gifts. We have had numerous reports from our customers, telling us that our mugs are their favorites. See for yourself what our customers say.
I use only lead-free glazes and non-toxic clay. The clay that's used to make your mug is certified 100% non-toxic, and is made from raw materials from the USA.
Because our mugs are fired to such a high temperature, each coffee mug is extremely durable and chip resistant. The sturdy handles are very comfortable for holding a hot cup of tea or coffee. Should you reheat your coffee or tea in the microwave, the handle on the mug will not get hot under normal circumstances. No need to wash the mugs by hand - they have no problems going through the dishwasher.
Custom orders are welcome, available upon request.

One of the biggest issues I run into while living in Colorado is dry skin. Every inch of my body is dry. But I refuse to let my face get dry in any capacity because not only does that normally lead to break outs, but it just adds a couple years to the face over time. AND I REFUSE TO AGE! Kidding…kind of. So I am constantly applying hydrating products over some of the products that may dry my skin out. Things like mandelic acid, Vitamin C and Retin A, which I apply daily, can often dry out my skin if I'm not paying attention to my hydration routine.
Luckily, Tula has insanely hydrating products that I've been obsessed with ever since I tried them last summer. And they are constantly adding to their line with new innovative creams and masks! Just this month, they launched their Aqua Infusion Oil-Free Gel Cream! This cream is an amazingly hydrating, lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. You put it on thinking it will stay heavy on your skin, but it's so lightweight and leaves your skin silky smooth. In just 2 pumps of this gel cream, your skin will go from red and irritated, to hydrated and plump. And you know I'm ALL about that plump face! I've been using this gel cream whenever my skin needs a little extra hydration before I put my makeup on!
Now for two more products I absolutely cannot live without! I'm actually out of one and slightly freaking out about it. As soon as I finish this post, it's off to place a Tula order because I can already notice the difference in my skin from not using the Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment. I always go back and forth about which Tula product is my favorite, but after adding Retin A back into my skin routine, the Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment completely saved my skin from dryness and irritation during this insanely dry Colorado winter. I (normally) use this product every single night and my skin wakes up hydrated, plump and still locked in with moisture, all because of this amazing cream. I love it so freaking much! While I've been out of my Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment Cream, I've been using their Hydrating Day & Night Cream to keep moisture locked in until I get my next Tula order!
And last but not least, a product I mention every time because I love so much – their Illuminating Serum. It's not quite as much for hydration, but it still adds great moisture to my daily skin routine. This lightweight serum targets the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and dull skin, and reveals a youthful glow and brightened complexion. I use it daily to help my skin glow with or without makeup!
Hydrate & Help Your Skin Glow with Tula
And right now, you can hydrate your skin for 20% off when you use the code PALEOMG. That's valid site-wide on Tula! And just a heads up to any of you awesome Canada people – TULA HAS LAUNCHED IN CANADA! And the PALEOMG code works for any Canada readers, too!! Yay Canada! So excited to go to Vancouver next month and experience Canada for the first time!
BUT WAIT, I have a special announcement! Well, it's more of a teaser than an announcement. It's time to mark your calendars if you are in the Denver area on April 15th because I'm working with Tula to host a special event for any PaleOMG readers that want to come have a cocktail, a snack and chat about all things paleo, health, skincare and anything in between! We will have all sorts of goodies for anyone who attends and it will just be a fun event with amazing brands and people! I will be announcing full details soon on social media and my blog so be sure to stay tuned because spots will be limited! So excited to finally host a meet-up since I've never done that other than my book tour stops! Hope some of you amazing people can make it!
This post is brought to you by Tula, a product I use and truly love! This post contains some affiliate links and I may be compensated for this post, but all opinions are my own. This compensation helps with expenses to keep this blog up and running! Thank you for all your support!

Foundation's lawyers focus on corporate, intellectual property, litigation and tax with a particular emphasis on startups, mergers and acquisitions, digital media and entertainment, and licensing.
We leverage our network to guide our clients to the best fit in terms of legal expertise outside of business law should our clients have a need.
We strive not just to be lawyers, but to be your partners. We are here to help build and protect your business.
For our clients who are seeking general counsel services on an as-needed basis, Foundation Law Group charges an hourly rate that is much lower than rates charged by other law firms.
For project-based services, Foundation will negotiate a pre-determined fixed fee based on the estimated time the project will take to complete, subject to change if the project runs shorter or longer than expected.
For clients who are seeking to have a lawyer on a retainer, Foundation will negotiate a weekly or monthly rate that can easily fit our client's budget, providing them with the security of having a lawyer at a lower cost.
For a low fixed fee, we will incorporate your new company, provide you with a stock option plan to help compensate and incentivize your current and future employees, provide you with all the forms you'll need to hire employees or engage independent contractors and advise and guide you through your initial seed financing round.

My husband and I recently worked with Foundation Law Group when purchasing our first restaurant. The process was quick, thorough and stayed within the budget we discussed up front. With Foundation covering us on the legal aspects, we were happily able to focus on the business end. Overall, what could have been a daunting experience was made easy knowing that we were being represented fully.
We hired Foundation Law Group because we were looking for counsel who specialized in representing startup companies. As an attorney myself, I was looking for lawyers who aren't merely good at filling in forms but rather in giving prudent legal and business advice to a startup. We are very happy with the quality of the services we have received from FLG as well as the very reasonable cost.
The lawyers at Foundation Law Group helped my company negotiate a complicated Series A financing with investors both in the US and around the world. As a first time entrepreneur, I appreciated the guidance that they gave me both in terms of legal advice as well as business advice throughout the process. To top things off, they came in exactly on budget as promised. We look forward to continue working and growing the company with Foundation as our legal team.
We were introduced to Foundation Law Group through a trusted financial advisor as a firm that understands working with startup companies. The attorneys at FLG helped us negotiate a critical equity investment with an international partner. They understood the issues involved not only with startups but also an apparel company. Most of all, we like working with FLG because they pride themselves on providing top notch legal advice at a reasonable price which matched our budget.
The lawyers at Foundation Law Group have represented FriendGiftr since our incorporation and have acted as general counsel to our company. FLG understands the importance of finding solutions which make both business sense as well as legal sense for a startup company. As a very active angel investor I have been impressed by the quality of legal advice we have received from FLG while doing so in a cost effective manner.
We hired Foundation Law Group because we were looking for a law firm which saw our vision as a company. While we have just gotten off the ground, our organization will soon grow to include thousands of employees and stakeholders and we were looking for a firm that will grow with us. FLG gives us all of the expertise we need in terms of corporate finance, intellectual property, tax and employment transaction expertise that one would expect from a large international firm at boutique firm prices. We look forward to bringing a World's Fair to Los Angeles in 2022 with the assistance and guidance of the lawyers at FLG.
We are constantly in search of experienced business lawyers with at least 10+ years of experience at prestigious firms who are passionate about their practices and looking for more effective ways to help their clients. At Foundation Law Group, we provide the platform for lawyers who want to expand their practice or even start their own practice. Our compensation structure encourages our attorneys to be creative while maintaining full control over their practice and clients. You can be your own boss while also practicing with colleagues who can add valuable expertise for your clients.

Japanese Culinary Matcha
Organic Japanese Culinary Matcha
-Bright green color
-Full of flavor and aroma
-Smooth and sweet tasting
General Information
Matcha is the result of finely milling high quality green tea, and not to be confused with the fannings found in low grade bagged tea. The processes of harvesting, drying, grinding, and oxidation are all very important in producing a quality matcha powder. The tea leaves are strictly shade grown prior to harvesting. This results in an increase in chlorophyll production, resulting in matcha's bright green color. It is always harvested by hand, gently steamed to stop oxidation, and laid flat to dry. After the leaves are dried, veins, stems, and other impurities are removed to prevent any bitterness from developing; the resulting substance is called "tencha". The tencha is then slowly ground to produce a fine powder — matcha. Only tencha can be used to make authentic matcha.
Matcha originated in China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE), where its preparation and consumption was ritualized by Zen Buddhists. Near the end of the 12th century it began to lose favour in China, but was brought to Japan where its popularity continues to this day. This is largely attributed to its role in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. The Japanese Tea Ceremony is dedicated to the preparation, serving, and enjoyment of matcha, and typically calls for only the highest grades available. The best matcha is usually kept in Japan specifically for the tea ceremony, and always stone ground. This can take up to an hour to produce 40 grams, in addition to its expensive cost of hundreds of dollars. Matcha intended for export is likely to be machine ground in order to keep it affordable for those who drink it casually. Sam's Teas and Spices regular authentic Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder is the product of the standard creation method, but we also carry Ceremonial Organic Japanese Matcha for retail purchase.
Health Benefits
Matcha is renowned for its astounding health benefits. It is superior to all other teas, in part from the processing it undergoes, but additionally due to the consumption of the whole leaf, rather than just an infusion. In fact, one cup of matcha is the nutritional equivalent of 10-15 cups of regular green tea. It even surpasses the antioxidant count of many superfoods (named so for their high nutritional contents). By weight, matcha contains more antioxidants than blueberries, orange juice, and spinach!
More than just one of the best sources of antioxidants, matcha possesses many other health benefits as well. These include, but are not limited to;
- Increased metabolism (burns calories, aids in weight loss)
- Reduces cholesterol (an affect of catechins)
- Lowers blood pressure (catechins again)
- Prevents diabetes (aren't catechins great?)
- Slows the aging process (thank you, catechins!)
- Boosts the immune system (contains an abundance of vitamins)
- Detoxifies the body (due to the high amount of chlorophyll, a natural detoxifier)

Matcha does contain caffeine, and quite a bit compared to other teas. Remember, it's the whole leaf, not just an infusion! Despite this, green tea contains an amino acid called L-theanine, which slows down the release of caffeine, and mitigates the negative effects of caffeine. Essentially, L-theanine increases focus and concentration, produces a calm, relaxing effect, and results in an over-all increase in energy, without agitating the nervous system. Consider this: many Buddhist monks, the epitome of calm and focus, drink matcha regularly.
Matcha can be prepared two ways: thick, called koicha in Japan, or thin, called usucha. While the method for both is similar, the difference lies in the ratio of matcha to water.
For thin matcha, which is light and slightly bitter, use about 1 grams of matcha (approximately 1/2 teaspoon) and around 75 ml of water per serving. For thick matcha, use twice as much tea (approximately 1 teaspoon) and half as much water (approximately 40 ml).
Koicha is much thicker, and requires a much slower stirring motion. It is normally made with ceremonial grade matcha, and produces a milder, sweeter tea than usucha; it is most commonly served as part of the Japanese tea ceremony.
Traditional Equipment:
- Matcha scoop (chashaku) — used to measure the matcha
- Sifter (furui) — used to remove any clumps from the matcha
- Matcha bowl (chawan) — used to mix and hold the matcha
- Matcha whisk (chasen) — a bamboo whisk used to mix the matcha and water
- Linen tea cloth (chakin) — used to clean the tea ware (ceremonial)
Other Uses
Matcha is more than just great tea; it can be used to flavor or add color to many different foods and beverages. It blends great with dairy, try it in (or over) ice cream, use it in your favorite smoothies, or add steamed milk for a delicious matcha latte… the list is endless.

EGCg: Matcha's Powerful Catechin
Unique to Matcha is a particularly potent class of antioxidant known as "catechins". In particular, the catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) is believed to be responsible for the majority of matcha's tremendous health benefits. EGCg counteracts the effects of free radicals from pollution, UV rays, radiation, and chemicals, which may lead to cellular and genetic deterioration. Over 60% of the catechins in matcha are EGCg. Enjoying matcha regularly is a great way to take advantage of this potent catechin — to restore and maintain a healthy body, and promote general well-being.
L-Theanine: Matcha's Unique Amino Acid
Scientists have recently confirmed that Matcha contains L-Theanine, a rare amino acid that induces a state of relaxation by stimulation of the brain's functioning. Stress can be attributed to beta wave production in the brain, but L-Theanine promotes the generation of alpha waves, which create a state of relaxed alertness. Although L-Theanine is common in all teas, matcha may contain up to five times more of this amino acid than other teas. Additionally, L-Theanine inhibits the side-effects of caffeine, a natural component of green tea. Try a cup of matcha anytime you need extra energy or focus.

Best Before Date: November 2017
Note: This is not a day of expiry, but instead a best before date. It is still safe and enjoyable to consume following the best before date, the date is only a recommendation. Matcha is light and heat sensitive, but if stored in a cool environment away from a direct heat source, will last for quite some time.
Customer Reviews
I recently received my 2nd order of Sam's organic ceremonial matcha and am confidant of its quality that I'm gifting part of my 2nd order to my daughter. His prices and customer service are just excellent, although living on the west coast puts us somewhat at a disadvantage because of postage costs. Lucky folks back east can now purchase from his retail store! Alice
I have ordered some products in this company, and I liked everything. I trust Sam's teas and Spices.

This matcha product satisfies our tastes.
Great fresh taste. High quality. Fast shipping!
Organic Japanese Culinary Matcha
I drink matcha almost every day and I also make facials out of it (mix with honey or yogurt) - great for your skin, especially any sun damage, like brown spots. Sam's matcha has a great flavour and is also affordable!
This is a superb product! I having been ordering it for many years now. Best price going & best customer service. I'm a customer for life! Thank you for offering such a great products!
After a daily morning dose of matcha tea for just over a week, I showed up at my acupuncture appointment and my doc said, "wow, what have you been doing?" I said, "why?" She said, "your chi is abundant and vibrant, you are glowing with energy." I hadn't realized until that moment how much better I had been feeling. My matcha is part of my morning routine now, right after my warm lemon water. I can feel the difference and I love it. I now have my 86 year old mother drinking this matcha. Thanks Sam! Wonderful service and great prices. Lovin it in BC
I have been ordering from Sams Teas for several years now and this is a top notch company that provides excellent product, prices and customer service! I highly recommend this company.
'So glad I found you!
VERY quick delivery and excellent product. Thanks!!!
Have it every morning and gives me a solid energy boost
I've always eaten Sam's matcha for the Superfood that it is, rather than the slightly astringent taste, blending it with Maca Root & Wheatgrass Juice Powder for added sweetness. As a cancer preventative/killer it is unequalled; I've seen the results personally. The sweetness of the Culinary Matcha is such that I can use it to blend the harsher taste of the Boswellia (also a great tumour fighter) right out of it. Add to all those, a little of Sam's cocoa & a piece of ripe banana and you've got a powerhouse of a delicious smoothie...easy and effective. Yum. Thanks, Sam. Your products are the best!!
Great, smooth and perfectly grounded into a fine powder. Absolutely perfect in my chocolate matcha milk teavana copycat drink. (1/4 of a cup of boiled water whisked with approx a teaspooon of matcha, mixed with chocolate almond milk-or vanilla soy with Amoretti or Torani chocolate syrup and ice cubes) Love this company as well. Great, quick communication, great customer service! Quick shipping.

|About this Recording
8.550542 - MOZART: String Quartets, K. 156, K. 158-159 and K. 458
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)
Born in Salzburg in 1756, the son of a musician who was later appointed Vice-Kapellmeister to the ruling Archbishop, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart won international fame as a child prodigy. He showed particular ability as a keyboard-player and as a violinist, astonishing audiences by his skill and musical understanding, and later as a composer. Adolescence in Salzburg proved less satisfactory, particularly after the death of the old Archbishop and the succession of a new patron who showed much less indulgence to members of his household. Leopold Mozart had early realised the exceptional gifts of his son and had made it his business to develop them to the detriment of his own career, but father and son both understood that provincial Salzburg was far too limited in its opportunities. Eventually, in 1781, during the course of a visit to Vienna in the entourage of the Archbishop, Mozart quarrelled with his employer and secured his dismissal. The remaining ten years of his life were spent in Vienna, where he enjoyed initial success and later more variable fortune, in relative independence of his father and of a patron. He died in December 1791, when matters seemed to have taken a turn for the better, with the success of the German opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) and a promise of employment at the Cathedral of St. Stephen.
In Vienna Mozart appeared during his early years in the city as a virtuoso pianist, writing a series of piano concertos, principally for his own use. In Salzburg he had at one time paid considerable attention to the violin, and his father, an authority on the subject of violin teaching and author of a well known book on the subject, considered he could have been as good a violinist as anyone. In Salzburg he was for some years Konzertmeister, before leaving in 1777 to seek his fortune in Mannheim and in Paris. When he returned in 1779 it was as court organist. It must be supposed that Mozart would always have been ready to take part in musical performances at home or perhaps at social gatherings, in whatever capacity, and we have one account, at least, of a memorable evening of quartet playing at a party given by Stephen Storace, when Mozart played the viola, Haydn and Dittersdorf the violins and a fourth composer, Vanhal, the cello, to the great pleasure of the singer Michael Kelly, who recorded the event, and to the poet Casti and the composer Paisiello, who were also present.
Mozart completed some 26 string quartets, the first in 1770, at the age of fourteen, and the last in June 1790, the year before his death, when he wrote the first three quartets of a proposed set of six for the King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia. The Quartet in B flat major, K. 458, known as The Hunt, was completed on 9th November 1784, to be published in October the following year by Artaria as third of a set of six, forming, collectively, Opus X, in the publisher's description. Mozart dedicated the six quartets to Joseph Haydn, offering them as the result of long and laborious study. Three of the quartets were not new, but had been written in 1782 and 1783, while Haydn had heard the three new ones played at Mozart's house in February, during the course of a visit to Vienna by Leopold Mozart, who was comforted by the praise Haydn bestowed on his son. These Haydn quartets of Mozart, written under the influence of the older composer, had their reciprocal influence on Haydn's own later quartets. The Hunt opens with a figure that suggests the sound of the huntsman's horn, treated with some subtlety and followed by a shorter figure that is the subject 0f1mitation by the four instruments of the quartet. The Minuet and Trio that forms the second movement are followed by an Adagio that allows opening dynamic contrasts and subsequent melodic embellishment. A whispered conclusion is followed by the first violin's introduction of an Allegro theme that dominates the last movement.
The Quartet in F major, K. 158, is the fourth of a group of six, written during Mozart's third visit to Italy, where he was to provide Milan with a carnival opera, Lucio Silla. Mozart and his father left Salzburg on 24th October 1727 and reached Milan on 4th November. The F major Quartet was completed at the end of 1772 or early the following year, identified by some with a quartet Mozart was writing on 6th February and mentioned in a letter home to his wife by Leopold Mozart on that date. A descending triplet arpeggio from the first violin starts the work, a figure that recurs. The slow movement, with its imitated opening figure, is in the key of A minor and leads to a final Tempo di Minuetto, in accordance with the three-movement form favoured in Milan, framing an F minor section. The Quartet in B flat major, K. 159, follows closely in order of composition and is the fifth of his first quartet cycle by Mozart. Marked Andante by Leopold Mozart, the quartet starts with a statement of the first theme by the second violin, repeated and altered by the first violin. A lively figure is exploited in the central development, before the return of the principal theme from the second violin. The second movement, marked Allegro, apparently by Leopold Mozart, is in G minor and its first theme ends in emphatic unanimity. Leopold Mozart added the apt marking Allegro grazioso to the final rondo. The Quartet in G major, K. 156, is the second of the cycle, probably written in Milan at the end of 1772 The first movement, in the usual tripartite form, is introduced in lively mood by the first violin. A brief pause follows the central development section, after which the principal theme re-appears. The E minor slow movement allows a miraculous interweaving of parts, a second version of a movement originally couched in starker terms, as first violin and cello move together, accompanied by the second violin and viola In this recording the original Adagio is included after the final Tempo di Menuetto which uses the pattern of K. 158, enclosing a contrasted section in G Minor.
The Éder Quartet
The Éder Quartet won the top prize in the 1976 Evian International String Quartet Concours, where the jury included the members of the Amadeus Quartet, and clinched second prize in the 1977 ARD International String Quartet Competition in Munich (the first prize was not awarded). Since their success in Munich they guest-performed in almost every European country and captivated the public and critics alike at the international festivals of Bordeaux, West Berlin, Evlan, Istanbul and Bath. Besides Europe, they toured extensively the United States, Australia and New Zealand. The quartet is currently recording the complete Mozart string quartets for Naxos.

Project information
Better health for nomadic farmers in Ethiopia
To reduce needless deaths of pregnant women and new mothers by training health volunteers - 94% of births currently take place in unsafe and unsterile conditions.
To increase the use of family planning (currently just 2%), and to prevent and treat HIV and otehr sexually transmitted infections.
March 2008 - March 2011
Charity information: Health Poverty Action (formerly Health Unlimited)
The overall aim of the project is for nomadic farming communities to have access to healthcare services. This includes family planning, child immunization and and training health workers so that expectant mothers can give birth safely.
It will improve health for these remote communities by providing health services: family planning (contraception, treating sexually transmitted diseases), testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, providing maternity services (including a waiting hut close to the hospital) and immunizing children against deadly diseases.
Because the farming communities move frequently, we take our health teams and set up mobile clinics under canvas. People walk for days to receive treatment.
Aim 1
To improve the health of nomadic farming communities in south eastern Ethiopia
Activities» Providing mobile health sevices (clinics under canvas) directly to remote communities.
What success will look like
Success will be improved health among nomadic communities: increased usage of the health services, increased numbers of trained health personnel and increased health knowledge.
Ultimately the project will have a positive impact on the health of vuilnerable communities. Training and health education in particular last a lifetime and are transferable to others.
Clinics under canvas will treat patients at point of need. Contraceptives will help people protect themselves from transmissible infections like HIV and help women to have smaller families - reducing hunger and poverty over the long-term. Current contraceptive use is just 2%.
The main risks to the project are the water shortages in some areas from water-intensive farming and poor management. We are dealing with this by constructing rainwater harvesting schemes to ensure that there is water available when needed.
We are able to report to donors regulary (annually or every six months) and show the impact the healthcare is having on the lives of very poor communities.
Budget - Project Cost: £45,000Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £8,950 Health facilities Equipment, rainwater scheme £6,000 Admin Office £5,050 Health project Transport £25,000 Health project Health and project staff

South eastern Ethiopia - the two project areas in the Woredas (districts) of Rayitu and Sawena, are 625 km Southeast of Addis Ababa. The major means of livelihood is livestock production (90%). 10% of the people depend on crop production but productivity is very limited because of the low amount and erratic pattern rainfall in the area. The major health problems include malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhoea and HIV/AIDS.
50,000 people who are part of nomadic farming communities. They are excluded from health services due to their remote locations, distinct culture and traditions, and because they move from one place to another to grave their livestock. They are vulnerable, subject to tribal and resource-based conflicts, recurrent famine and drought and outbreaks of diseases. Basic services such as health and education are extremely underdeveloped and mostly unsuited to their nomadic lifestyle.
Why Us?
Why Us?
Health Poverty Action has a 25-year track record of improving the health of vulnerable and impoverished communities. It works with communities to find solutions to their health problems. By training local health workers and helping people understand how to safeguard their health, it ensures that knowledge and skills stay in communities long into the future.

We all know grocery shopping and cooking can make or break the bank! Before we got out of debt, meal planning just wasn't in my vocabulary. We were spending WAAAAY too much money on food. I would grocery shop several times per week, buying whatever I felt like we want or needed for dinner that day. I felt like I was "food-poor" but never had anything to eat in our house! (Does that ever happen to you?) Not to mention, tons of food would go bad in my fridge because I would forget I had it.
Since then I've started using several super easy ways to keep track of food, and plan meals. Here is a quick 1 minute video that shows one of my secret weapons for the world's easiest meal planning!
Watch online or click and watch below:
There you have it! This is one of the simplest things I do that saves our family tons of money. It's amazing what a little planning can do.
For more great meal planning ideas (including free printables!) see this "easy meal plan" post!
So now that I've gotten you that ground-breaking tip,
I have to ask…
Tell me, what's your take on quick video tips like this? I've been busy lately, so I've been unable to post as often as I would like. Videos like this are SO quick and easy for me to do, making it easy for me to put out quick posts. But do you like them? Hate them? Do you prefer videos or written posts? Mix of both? Videos of better quality? Do you not care about the quality? Let me know whatyou think, thanks!

BM# 68-Cooking Carnival: Day 8
Theme of the Week 2: Whole Grains in Salads
Dish: Roasted Tomato Tabbouleh
Continuing with my whole grain salad series, I have a tasty variation to the popular tabbouleh. This roasted tomato tabbouleh recipe is from Meatless cookbook by Martha Stewart.Bulgur is a generally made from wheat kernels that have been cracked and then par-cooked. So it is a quick cooking whole wheat that is great to add to salads, pilafs and even soups. I buy fine bulgur from Turkish grocery — it needs to be stirred into boiling water and left covered, off heat, for 15~20 minutes. By that time all of the water is absorbed and the grains are perfectly cooked. Just fluff it with a fork and use as needed. Fine cracked wheat that is available in Indian stores is a good alternate, but that needs to be cooked longer.What drew me to this recipe is the use of tomatoes. I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes from my backyard that needed to be used up and this seemed like an easy enough recipe to try. Roasting the tomatoes makes them so sweet and delicious.Bulgur is rather bland by itself, but adding roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs adds much needed flavor.It tastes tastier as it sits. This salad is great for summer parties and barbecues. It can also be served in a Middle Eastern platter.
Roasted Tomato Tabbouleh
- 1 cup Bulgur (Cracked wheat)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (or use 4~6 Plum tomatoes)
- 1 cup Basil Fresh , finely chopped
- 1 cup Mint , finely chopped

- 2 tbsps Green Onions , finely chopped
- 2 tbsps Lemon juice
- To taste Salt Pepper &
Roast Tomatoes:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine chopped herbs in a small bowl.
- Toss the tomatoes with garlic, vinegar and 1tsp olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 2tbsp of the chopped herbs and mix well. Roast until tomatoes begin to soften and shrivel a little bit, about 12~15 minutes. Let cool.
Cook Bulgur:
- Bring 1cup of water to boil, add bulgur and a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set aside for 15~20 minutes.
Make Tabbouleh:
- Add roasted tomato mixture to the cooked bulgur, along with remaining chopped herbs, olive oil, scallions, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Gently toss and serve.

Seeking to re-launch the debate and exchange of ideas this is the first in a series of papers to be developed across 2013. Our ambition is to start to engage with academics, practitioners, campaigners and Labour Party members across Wales and beyond to develop ideas and policy recommendations for a fairer, sustainable and prosperous Wales under a Labour government.
Last year at the Labour Festival of Ideas we ran a session on the potential for community currencies as a means of developing sustainable local economies in Wales, and one of the contributing papers, by Dawn Davies, builds on this to discuss the uses of time banking in community development. The focus on communities is maintained by Dave Horton in his assessment of Communities First and recommendations for developing the initiative within a co-operative and mutual ethos. Such values underpin Andrew Lycett's discussion of social housing in Wales seeking to offer a co-operative approach to one of the biggest challenges we face on the public policy front.
Overarching these discussions however is our main article by Stephen Brooks. Setting out the case for the development of co-operative councils in Wales, Brooks offers a comprehensive review of the issue within the UK as a whole. This runs alongside an account of how Welsh Labour can lead the reform of local government building on its success in the 2012 local elections.
The ideas outlined in this pamphlet seek to start the debate across the Labour party in Wales on the direction its policy should develop. But it is also a starting point for Ideas Wales. Throughout 2013 we will be seeking to build on this paper and develop future papers into other policy areas. We hope that you will engage in this process and participate in Ideas Wales future debates and publications.

"Montreal is the new Seattle," says Spin magazine — of all the places for a hipster scene to break out. Do the drunk-texting geek-dancers pick up after themselves or what?
And thus concludes the only snark that can be rightly fired at this thing. The trio's 2008 self-titled debut album was an indie-rock clinic, what you'd expect from Arcade Fire being body-snatched by Gang of Four, screams and whoops fit for David Byrne with his tail lit on fire, lo-fi but not announcing it from the mountaintops. Yes, you should be thinking Tokyo Police Club's first album, but to the power of what-the-hell-is-this. This is their followup EP, markedly less shouty-screamy than the LP but spastic nonetheless, some Steve Albini-worshipping drone in "Where is the Sun" and some '80s oi-pop in "Tehching Hsieh." I don't want to speak too soon, but this decade of indie-rock may not end up being the hopeless, melody-phobic Armageddon I was expecting. A

Pool weather is here for some of us and coming soon for others (hang in there y'all!). Let's prepare, shall we? This photo below is of the pool party we threw at our house last Memorial Weekend. Such fun.
So again, let's prepare… I find these days that I'm in my cover ups – a lot! Like, I can't have too many.
blue chemise, pom pom basket, island necklace, patterned mini-dress
scallop bikini, island bracelet, stripe/orange bikini, shorts
tote, espadrilles, phone cover
black coverup robe, fringe dress, red caftan
How amazing is that black cover up robe? I freaking love it. Comes in white, too. And if you're looking for a great one piece, I have this scallop one in black and LOVE it! Lots of colors to choose from and it's really very supportive.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Holding out the prospect of a test jury to determine potential juror bias, Marion Superior Judge Shelia Carlisle has informed one of the remaining Richmond Hill suspects he should be ready to defend himself beginning September 6 in her courtroom.
"September is your go date," Judge Carlisle told Gary Thompson and his attorneys during a preliminary hearing called to examine evidence pertaining to a change of venue motion.
Defense Counsel Heather Barton filed the motion in April, reiterating Friday, "I don't believe my client can get a fair trial in the Indianapolis market."
Barton introduced what she said were 1,200 pages of web reporting on the 2012 insurance fraud explosion that took two lives, rocked a south side neighborhood and has so far resulted in convictions of the two lead conspirators.
"Once the words, 'Richmond Hill,' and, 'Southside Bombing,' come up," Barton told the Court, "I don't believe we can get a fair trial."
Opening statements are set for September 12 as Thompson is accused of carrying out the orders of Mark Leonard and accompanying his half-brother Bob Leonard to the house of Monserrate Shirley on Fieldfare Way on November 10, 2012, setting a microwave timer and triggering a massive natural gas explosion that caused more than $4 million in losses and damaged or destroyed more than 80 homes in pursuit of an expected $300,000 home insurance claim.
Neighbors Jennifer and Dion Longworth were killed in the blast.
Thompson, like the Leonard brothers, faces murder, arson and conspiracy charges and the potential of life in prison without parole.
Lead Prosecutor Denise Robinson has agreed to exclude potential jurors from Marion, Johnson and Shelby counties as a previous test jury proved it was impossible to find panel members who did not have a personal recollection or connection to the explosion case.
The State has offered to accept a jury drawn from any of the other contiguous counties to Indianapolis as well as Madison County.
Barton said she could agree to a jury bused in every day from Anderson.
Judge Carlisle told both sides, "The Court has been here ready to go forward on this case for a long time," and that she would not impanel a jury from a location more than a 90-minute daily bus ride from her courtroom.
The judge said she was not yet convinced that a fair jury could not be found in Marion County, and would entertain calling a test jury to confirm that perception, but that her early September start date for a trial was firm and not subject to delay.
The Court noted that media coverage of the case against Thompson paled in comparison to the reporting on the original investigation, early court hearings and the Leonard brothers' trials.
"If we can stay in Marion County, we are staying in Marion County," said the judge.
Barton indicated her client's case would not be as contentious as earlier unsuccessful defenses of the Leonard brothers with no rebuttal of the State's expert witnesses and no motion of continuance due to change of venue issues.
"We're not putting on a dog and pony show," said Barton, "There will be two weeks of us not saying a word."
"We're good to go," promised Robinson.
Again, as in earlier trials, homeowner Shirley will provide key testimony against Thompson.
Shirley told investigators and jurors that Thompson was present during the planning of the explosion by her then-boyfriend Mark Leonard, participated in at least one failed previous attempt and swapped out a thermostat in an unsuccessful preliminary plot.
Investigators theorize that Thompson accompanied Bob Leonard to the home to set the stage for the blast several hours before the explosion and prosecutors indicate there will be new testimony and evidence linking the defendant to the plot that has not yet been heard in court.
Shirley claimed Mark Leonard told her that Thompson had participated in a previous arson-for-profit scheme.
A fourth defendant, Glenn Hults is accused of lesser charges for his alleged role in the conspiracy and is due to go on trial later in the fall.
Shirley pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges to face a presumptive term of approximately 30 years when she is expected to go before Judge Carlisle for sentencing after Hults' trial.

Less than a quarter of candidates running in the local elections are … thejournal.ie – From the candidacy selections so far, Fianna Fáil is the worst when it comes to having women stand for office in the local elections this year.
POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE been busy over recent weeks and months making selections for the upcoming local elections. Research from Women for Election shows that of the 1278 selections made already by political parties, just 24 per cent are women.

Although she is tackling hours of college work and attending lectures, she has already began canvassing to enter the competitive political arena. At just 20-years-old, Ellen O'Connor is the new Fine Gael candidate in Dún Laoghaire for May's elections. ''I wanted to enter because women are really underrepresented in politics.
It's not just Cameron who has a woman problem, it's the whole … The Guardian Does David Cameron have a woman problem? It certainly seems that some of the women have a problem with him.
In an interview with Red magazine, Yvette Cooper criticises the prime minister for making savings at the expense of women: "We got the House of Commons library to do some detailed analysis, and of the £14bn that the government has raised in cuts and pay and pensions changes, £11bn has come from women," she says.
Anne McIntosh deselected by local Tories in blow to David … The Independent David Cameron's authority received an embarrassing blow last night as Tory grassroots activists voted to oust a sitting female MP at the end of a bitter reselection battle.
Anne McIntosh, one of only three women to represent the Conservatives in the north of England, lost an acrimonious campaign which saw allegations of misogyny, dirty tricks and cronyism fly between warring groups in the affluent rural constituency of Thirsk and Malton in North Yorkshire.
Ms McIntosh said she would fight to keep her seat. "I do not intend to be thrown aside by a small group. It is for my constituents as a whole to dismiss me if they wish to do so," she said as left the vote at Conservative HQ in London. Despite her determination to continue, the result of the secret ballot of 560 members means Mr Cameron faces losing a fifth female MP who will not now be standing in 2015.
Westminster's battle of the sexes – FactCheck Q&A Channel 4 News (blog) "I'm amazingly proud of the fact that in the last Parliament we had 19 women Conservative MPs, and that has got closer to 50 in this Parliament.

– David Cameron, House of Commons, 29 Jaunary 2014
The background
It was supposed to be his year for women.
2014, the Prime Minister declared earlier this month, would be the year that Britain would steam ahead "on women's equality, on women's empowerment, on the empowerment of girls and women worldwide".
Yesterday at Prime Ministers' Questions, his opponents smelt a rat and couldn't wait to take a swipe at the numbers of women leaving the parliamentary party.
Nick Clegg warned the Lib Dems could lose all their women MPs … Daily Mail The Liberal Democrats could be left with no women MPs after the next election unless they change tack now, Nick Clegg has been warned.
Senior figures are urging Mr Clegg to adopt a 'fortress strategy' to protect the party's existing seats, rather than trying to continue to compete as a national force.
One Lib Dem member of the Government told the Daily Mail that the party, which is languishing in fourth place in the opinion polls, is on course to lose half its seats, with female MPs disproportionately affected.
Do the Conservatives have a problem with women? BBC News Despite having a majority of 11,000 and having been an MP for 17 years, Anne McIntosh has lost her battle to represent her constituency in North Yorkshire at the next election.
Today's decision ends a long-running wrangle. Her local constituency party in Thirsk and Malton decided to de-select her last year as their candidate for the 2015 election.
An internal inquiry by Conservative Party HQ found that the local executive broke the rules by co-opting a large number of new members on to the association's executive board weeks before a vote where it was decided not to endorse her.
The report – which was been leaked to the Yorkshire Post – also found the association was troubled by factions and needed to unite.

Tempers frayed after the Prime Minister faced a Tory rebellion in an Immigration Bill vote last week – amid mounting speculation May is emerging as a frontrunner to oust Cameron as Tory leader.

Harassment scandal mars Britain's Liberal Democrats – and … Christian Science Monitor A sexual harassment scandal in the Liberal Democrat party, the junior partner in Britain's coalition government, comes at a dreadful time. With slightly more than a year left before general elections, Chris Rennard, the party's former chief executive, stands accused of sexually harassing his female colleagues, in a bruising blow to the party's image.
Unique Royal Mail women's committee supporting refuges across … Northampton Chronicle & Echo A committee set up to promote women's issues at the country's biggest Royal Mail depot has collected hundreds of toiletries to hand out to women's refuges in the region.
The women's committee was set up at the South Midlands Mail Centre, in Swan Valley Way, Northampton in 2012, and is the only one of its kind in the country.
The aim of the committee, which is formed predominately of postwomen, is to promote women's issues within the workplace, and give a voice to an under-represented part of the workforce.
LibDem deputy vote criticised Herald Scotland THE Liberal Democrats have come under fire from Labour for, in the midst of two sex controversies, choosing party grandee Sir Malcolm Bruce as their deputy leader instead of fellow candidate for the top job Lorely Burt.
The 69-year-old Gordon MP, who is due to step down from the Commons at next year's General Election, beat the challenge from the Solihull MP by just three votes. He said his 30-year experience at Westminster helped swing the vote his way.
Addressing the under-representation of women in Parliament The Guardian Regardless of the role or industry in question, networking is often an essential part of the modern day-to-day job. We all build up an array of contacts during our professional lives and we learn from the people we meet and work with. As a professional political consultant, I can vouch for this being as true in Westminster as anywhere else; and I believe that building on these networks is the key to making Parliament a more female-friendly workplace.
Toby Helm is right to highlight the huge concern over the under-representation of women in Parliament and recent accusations of sexual harassment show just how urgently we need to reform and update our political system. We can take big strides towards improving things with three simple steps.
