TAP Maintenance & Engineering Brazil Performs C-Checks on TAP Fleet Aircraft
Rio de Janeiro facilities to perform C-Checks on a series of A330/A340 aircraft in the TAP fleet.
Rio de Janeiro, November 4, 2010. As the controlling company of TAP Maintenance & Engineering Brazil since 2005, TAP Portugal will now take advantage of Rio de Janeiro facilities of its Latin American subsidiary to perform C-Checks on a series of A330/A340 aircraft in its fleet. Upon completion of the program's initial stage, the first aircraft was delivered to TAP Lisbon on October 10. The nose-to-tail services provided for the aircraft were done in line, at Galeão airport, thus avoiding undesirable costs of transfers to position the airplanes for the overhaul. The program will run through mid-February, with a short break in December, in order to make better commercial use of the aircraft. It is expected that other airplanes from TAP's fleet arrive at the hangars of TAP M&E Brazil yet this year.
"The first aircraft (CS-TOM) went through a standard C-Check that periodically inspects the condition of all aircraft systems and equipment. The service was performed without interruption, over a period of 13 days, and ended one day before the scheduled deadline, assuring the TAT (Turn-around Time) agreed upon by the companies. The second aircraft (CS-TON) will go through a C-Check 2.1 + A, and we also expect to cut the TAT down by one more day, states the Vice President of Operations of TAP M&E Brazil, Engineer Valter Fernandes.
"We are pleased to receive the fleet from our parent company, TAP, and to be able to perform the services more quickly than the contract deadline. This contract shows the level of confidence and commitment that TAP Lisbon has regarding the technical quality of the services of TAP M&E Brazil. We will dedicate the same efforts to delivering the next three aircraft before the deadlines, as well, if possible," states the President of TAP M&E Brazil, Engineer Nestor Koch.
The Airplane Project Manager of TAP Portugal, Engineer Pedro Santana, also commented on the success of this particular project: "It was undoubtedly a difficult, but at the same time, gratifying challenge. Moving up the delivery date of the airplane by one day, as well as its arrival in Lisbon with no abnormalities, makes us extremely happy and proud."
TAP Maintenance & Engineering Brazil is recognized, worldwide, for the quality of the services it provides its clients. The company has more than 80 years of experience and an enormous complex of aviation maintenance shops for repairing and overhauling landing gear, engines, APUs, avionics, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, among others. The company has been certified by the world's main aviation authorities, such as the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), in Brazil, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in the U.S., and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). TAP M&E Brazil is the only company member of the Airbus MRO Network in Latin America, and it is Embraer's first authorized service center in this region.
The company is specialized in heavy maintenance for large and medium aircraft, as well as in component overhaul and repair. It has a capability list for working with over 17,000 aeronautical items, meaning that most of the components installed on the aircraft can be repaired right on the company's premises, thus providing nose-to-tail services for clients with aircraft manufactured by AIRBUS, BOEING or EMBRAER, and with less aircraft down time for maintenance.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I really like this invitation style. It's simple, initmate, and gorgeous. The quality of the paper is great. The only thing I noticed with the photos is after printing, they're not quite as sharp as they are in the digital version. I'm not sure if this is because of the type of paper used or what, but it didn't ruin the invitation for me. I still think it looks good. Another issue I had was the way the invites are packaged. They come in a shrink wrap, and it's difficult to get the plastic casing off without scratching the invitation itself. Luckly, it just scratched the last one, and I had ordered a few extra, so I just kept that one to be for myself. I customized my color and wording on the inside. It was remarkably easy. I just googled the values for the color I'm using (royal blue) and put in the values. It made me a little nervous since I couldn't see it in person beforehand, but it looks great."
"I loved these as our wedding invitations, we based our entire wedding colours around them. They fit our day perfectly and turned out even more beautiful than i had expected"
"This card could be customized, and the pattern was very elegant and classy. The card stock was fabulous, and the invitations actually arrived almost five days ahead of schedule, which was great! A great product and great experience!"
"My fiance and I love the elegance and simplicity behind the design of this invite and we're surprised it hasnt received more ratings than the current popular listings. FYI The print colour of the writing is in NAVY colour (I assumed black)"
"This card was great. I got the purple samples.. Perfect for a vintage wedding. The color was light and airy and very romantic. Still didn't hit the spot for me, though. Still very lovely."

From the start, Taylor's material on "American Idol" set him apart, with a unique take on southern soul, R & B, country and blues. More than 63 million votes were cast and nearly 37 million viewers tuned in to crown Hicks the Season 5 winner of "American Idol," making it one of the most watched television events of the decade. The applause hasn't stopped since he stepped off that stage. Less than three weeks after Hicks' Idol win, his debut single, "Do I Make You Proud," entered at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, Pop 100 and Single Sales charts. Coinciding with the single release, a cover story named Hicks as People Magazine's "Hottest Bachelor of the Year." His self-titled album, "Taylor Hicks" (Arista), debuted #2 on the Billboard 200 and was quickly certified RIAA platinum.

April 1st is just a joke,
Don't you get it, silly bloke,
The whole day is so bespoke,
April 1st is just a joke.
Of old, the day did not exist.
It went from 31st to April 5th.
The master had an iron fist,
Of old, the day did not exist.
For history, the story's told
When days were young and months were old,
That some of them were still quite bold,
For history, the story's told.
The kalends and her three short friends,
Came up after the last month's end,
To Fortuna's will the four did tend,
The kalends and her three short friends.
As they came up, the master demanded,
They fall in line, they were commanded,
When they refused, they were remanded,
As they came up, the master demanded.
Taking heed of their fruitless fight,
They admitted and begged the master's right,
Judgement came after day and night,
Taking heed of their fruitless fight.
The three days after were reinstated,
The anger of their master abated,
But the leader of them who agitated,
The three days after were reinstated.
April 1st, still stood firm stance,
Relegated for foolish dance,
Having nothing, but little chance,
April 1st, still stood firm stance.
After forever, the master fell,
As history itself can quite retell,
All those outcasts, who were now well,
After forever, the master fell.
There was still one day, standing strong,
Who now came back, but wasn't long.
For those about, to sing her song,
There was still one day, standing strong.
April 1st, had been a fool,
Not accepting another's rule,
But now was standing tall and cool,
April 1st, had been a fool.
The story's lost to simple folk,
Known only to those who care to poke,
Bet happy now that i awoke,
April 1st is just a joke.

Recently, Martha took us to the New York Botanical Garden. She actually got special permission to take us there because dogs usually are not allowed on the grounds. Knowing this, we, of course, were on our best behavior. The reason Martha went there was to plant the Martha Stewart Culinary Herb Garden, which she designed with her garden experts. This very fragrant garden is part of a bigger exhibit called the Edible Garden, which is on display beginning June 27th, running through the summer. We're told that it will be very interesting with fun-filled food and gardening festivals and demonstrations from celebrity chefs and experts. Maybe they will invite Francesca and me back with our little cooking range!

It doesn't look like you got to do much gardening. Where are the action shots of you with Martha? Isn't it amazing how us Frenchie's make friends where ever we go, I think it's because we are so cute.
Now that Martha is finished with the tv show for the season any vacations planned for the 2 of you?
ohhh what a great adventure for you pups! love the photos of the great garden statuary....too cute!
Hi Francesca & Sharkey...
My name is Ruby, I'm a Boston Terrorist (oops, I mean terrier) and I have a blog too! It is nice to meet you!
That looked like lots of fun. I love gardens!!! You get to go to the coolest places!
Lots of Licks, Ruby
Hello ladies, Kirby here.
Beautiful garden statuary indeed. I hope your heads don't swell to much. I make friends everywhere I go also. I like the girls better than the boys; girls are nice. Years ago the neighbor boys would throw rocks at me. I have never forgotten that. When I am walking with mommy or daddy, they always make sure that the little children do not run up on me and cause me to take a "defensive" stance. After I smell their hands, they can pet me all they want; just leave the tail alone, it's mine.
Catch you later, Kirby.
You girls have all the fun! The garden statuaries looked strikingly familiar; are you sure the figures weren't ancestors of yours? You're "chips off the old block" so to speak (just being punny). Bye girls, I'm off to my next nap!
Mrrrowmrrrowmrrrow. It wooked wike a bootiful day, Fwannie-n-Sharkeybarkey, and it was good that you gweeted evewyone with your bootiful smiles, there at the information boof. Mommie 'specialwy wiked the garden tuteur and the 'statuarwy' (if ya' know what I mrrrean...) You puppiedoggies wook wight at home on the wittle shuttle...I've seen you two dwive them back home awound your farm! For cats' sake, it sure is good that those voodoo wilwies aren't weal, as they WOULD be pwetty arwomatic! You guys are smart wike me - I watch MY mommie, too, thwu her wefwection in our upstairs hall mirrwow. (I think I'm pwetty sneaky, knowing how to do that!) Prrrr. =^..^=
You got to ride on those awesome carts.......again!
WOW. Cannot wait to do this.
In a few weeks we all are going to a place, New Jersey? for a dog show. Will keep you posted.
But, the gardens. How beautiful and they are not even in full bloom. You both have to go back, first to check on the herbs you planted, and to see the flora in all it's glory......
I live pretty close, come and get me? I really want to ride on one of those carts. Alice has made such a big deal about how much fun they were!
I need to see for myself.....Jealous!
Hi Girl Friends, You sure do get to go to some of the nicest places with Carlos and Martha. I've never been to any place like that. It sure looks beautiful and a fun place to play. Your weather looked like ours over the weekend. For once it was really warm and sunny and my mom took me for a nice long walk. It sure was fun. Sure wish you could come with me and I could go with you. We sure could have fun! Love, Dudley Do Right xoxo

Russ & Daughters, a family-run shop that's been doling out Jewish delicacies since 1914. It's best known for its high-quality smoked fish, so we set out to taste the highest of high-end noshes – the more than $20 meshugge sandwich.
The Dish: Your choice of bagel (we chose whole wheat everything) and cream cheese (we went plain) gets topped by sturgeon, sable and salmon. Being acquainted with lox only, we had significant trepidation going into the first bite, but oy, was it good. The fish tasted incredibly fresh – full of salty flavor without being fishy. We're not exactly sure which was sable and which was sturgeon (both are white), but both imparted a distinct taste, seemingly nutty and buttery at once and when combined with the lox (about the best we've had) and tangy cream cheese was basically umami heaven.
Why the Price?: The quality ingredients and perhaps the name too? Plus, the people who work there are skilled (the fish for our sandwich was expertly sliced in front of us and it took quite a while to make), and you're paying for that too.
Is It Worth It?: We-ell. The name of the sandwich – meshugge – means crazy, so either the person spending this much on a sandwich is crazy or the decadent combo is crazy. Either way, there's some serious cray cray going on.
That said, it was without a doubt the best smoked fish we've ever had and the unsung bagel was pretty darn good too, but $20 + for a sandwich stretches the bounds of acceptable (and uh, sane) to us. So, we would definitely go back, but until we're a macher, we'll stick with the simpler, less costly bagel and lox.

Anything on the city side of the meter is the city's responsibility. Don't mess with it. Call the city water department and tell them what you have found.
The main water valve on the city side of the water meter was dripping around the valve stem -- i attempted to tighten the packing nut a bit and it seemed to stop, but noticed it again next time i passed the meter. Upon closer inspection, noticed that there was a crack in the packing nut on the bottom side where i couldnt see it. Called the water utility, thinking maybe cuz the valve was on their side of the meter, that it may be their responsibility, but was told anything but the pipe itself and the meter is my responsibility. Question is, is it possible to buy a packing nut to replace it, and can the old one be removed and the new installed while the valve is under pressure? Or any other suggestions, other than calling a plumber? Im not in a big hurry, as its not leaking much, and its not costing me anything cuz the drip isnt being metered, but it should get fixed to avoid any extra basement moisture. Thanks.
Anything on the city side of the meter is the city's responsibility. Don't mess with it. Call the city water department and tell them what you have found.
If it is on the city side of the meter it is normaly their problem. If they don't want to fix it, oh well, your not getting billed for it.
In my area, the water authority has the policy that the homeowner is responsible for everything from the main in the street. If a problem occurs between the hookup and the house, it is our responsibility to fix it.
I know of one other area water auth with the same policy, except they have the option where you can pay something like $3 per month or quarter and they will take responsibility for everything up to the meter.
- Tony
O.K. if your worried about moisture in the basement, how far is it from the leak to you basement?
the valve is actually in the basement, but on the city's side of the meter. i also have another shut off valve on my side of the meter. its leaking from the first valve's stem bacause of the cracked packing nut.
If the nut is cracked then you need to have someone replace the valve. Unlikely you will find the exact nut.
Someone probably tried once too often to tighten the packing gland with out repacking the valve stem and cracked it.
In this area, some communities do not even want you to turn off their valve at the meter, (because users damage the valve by breaking it or cracking the packing nuts), much less repair it. They are responsible for everything up to the point where your house pipe connects to the meter. Maybe you have to tell them that since it is not your water that is leaking, and it is no big deal, that you are just going to let it keep leaking.
In my town that valve is my problem. When I called about getting it replaced the water guy said there is usualy a $35 charge to come out and turn off the water at the street so I could repair it. However he had to replace my meter at some point so he waved the fee and I put in a new valve and he put in his new meter.

I was going to recommend this same site. http://corneredcat.com/Kids/firstlesson.aspx is really the best, most sensible, most effective take on gun safety for children that I've come across.
The extremely excellent site, Cornered Cat, which is designed by a mother of five exclusively for women who own guns and/or want to know how to teach their children gun safety, has some great information about kids and guns. I highly recommend that all mamas read it, even if you never plan to own or handle a gun yourself. Not teaching your children the basic rules of gun safety just because you yourself do not own guns, seems to me to be as shortsighted as not teaching them to swim just because you don't own a pool or go to the beach. Guns are everywhere and knowing to
Stop! Don't Touch! Leave the Area! Tell an Adult!
could literally save a child's life.

Find more The Manley Arts
Sport is more than an array of games and activities. Sport is a language.
It's a language that you pretty much have to be fluent in to get ahead in management. Does your termination policy have a "three strikes and you're out clause"? What's your "game plan" for marketing this new service? Can you "coach up" that "rookie" employee who "talks a big game" but rarely "delivers in the clutch"? Can that "superstar" public-relations person function as a "team player"? Can you "pass the puck" to a coworker when you get "double teamed" by too many projects? Who is "quarterbacking" the new computer installation? How good is your "pep talk" to a demoralized staff? Is that new computer programmer all "x's and o's," or can he relate to heart and soul issues too? How do you react when a "flaky" employee comes up with a crazy idea "out of left field"? Do you provide a forum in which employees can "pitch" new ideas? Who are the "players" behind this latest capital proposal? Are they "heavy hitters"? Are you a manager who goes for the "grand slam," or are you satisfied with hitting "singles and doubles"? Do you know who has "the inside track" for that new promotional opportunity in sales? Do you know who's "driving" the process? When your "ace" salesman calls in sick, whom do you have in the "bullpen" for a "closer"?
Clearly, if you don't know sports, you'll be the odd man (or woman) out at the management team table, and it's not just a matter of speaking the lingo. There's the water-cooler angle, too. People often put down the importance of early-morning office chatter around the coffeemaker and the water cooler, but small talk is what makes you one of the guys. If the boss is a golf nut, and Masters weekend is around the corner, you better have an opinion on Lefty's short game or Tiger's latest swing change. If you don't, no one's going to can you, but if you do say something clever and catch the Big Guy's ear, you might be sitting front and center in his golf cart on the first tee after lunch on Friday afternoon while all your coworking stiffs are back at the office staring at computer screens and twiddling their thumbs on their iPhones. From the golf course, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump to the nineteenth hole, and if you don't know what that is, you're truly clueless.
Unfortunately, most librarians are truly clueless when it comes to sports. Ever hear of ALA sponsoring a charity golf tournament to raise money for literacy awareness during Annual Conference? Of course not, but every other major professional association has a golf tournament. In my city-manager days, all the major players in the profession competed in the annual League of Cities and Towns golf tournament.
Ever hear of library staff members throwing a baseball around during lunch or shooting hoops during break time like they do at all the computer companies in Silicon Valley? Of course not. Librarians read during break time. I even saw a vigorous cricket game being played outside a Santa Clara digital company last week, but I've never even seen a bunch of librarians play anything during the lunch hour except maybe Angry Birds on their smartphones.
With the utterly unprecedented popularity of sports-fantasy leagues, the need for some sports knowledge has become even more critical for those with upwardly mobile career aspirations in the white-collar work-a-day world. Personally, I think fantasy football is strictly for candyasses and chickenshits who never played a down of football in their lives, but, my God, there are scores of websites devoted to it. Okay, you're probably thinking that this is strictly for men, but a growing number of women are not only participating in fantasy football but also dominating it with their meticulous attention to statistics, quantitative assessments, and sabermetric analytics.
But even bigger than the fantasy leagues is bracketology, that emerging field of probability in which you try to predict the winner of the NCAA Basketball Tournament otherwise known as March Madness. When the president of the U.S. unveils his bracket breakdown on national television, it's a pretty big clue that you better start paying attention to basketball so you don't embarrass yourself in the office pool.
Of course, librarians will play defense on the subject and protest that the library profession is a sports-free zone, and, therefore, there is no need to know a "hat trick" from "a goal line stand." But that's exactly where librarians are wrong. Clearly no one's going to chat with you about the National League standings back in the cataloging room, but if you want to score some points at City Hall and network with the heavy hitters, it wouldn't hurt to brush up on your baseball . . . or football . . . or golf. You'd be surprised by how much more the powers that be will be impressed by your knowledge of baseball statistics than your presentation of library statistics.
So get a clue. Take this issue of Booklist very seriously. Read all the reviews of the sports books. Better yet read some of the sports books. With the knowledge you gain, you can hit a home run back at City Hall and score some points for your library budget.

It was a great experience.
Great spot. Very efficient parking attendants.
It was a convenient location but towards game time, they layered in cars 3 deep in the entry /. exit way - no possiblity of getting out of the lot since we were in the last row by the fence, took us quite some time.
Great lot. No problems.
second porta potty was welcomed. Been asking for it for two years. Thanks!
Easy to find. Pulled right in and parking attendants were helpful in getting us parked. Exit was quick and easy. (Getting out of downtown was a totally different case!)
This surface (gravel) lot abuts a red and white brick building with a large panther painted on the south side. Conveniently located only 3 blocks from Bank of America Stadium.
Managed by Preferred Parking Service. This location is a commercial parking lot.
This gravel parking lot is located on the southeast corner of W Palmer St and S Mint St. The entrance is on S Mint St across from Baskets and Blossoms. Look for a white "Preferred Parking" sign in red lettering.

I am so glad to she Parenthood back. I like Scandal but can watch it later and don't watch Elementary. Nice to see Grimm back around Halloween like it was the first season. Maybe NBC will not be stupid in season 3 and not take the show off for 3-4 months in the middle of the season and have the writers do better storyline this year. Well better storylines is not up to NBC that is up to the writers and producers. Wake up "Just Jack" I know you have our own show on NBC this season but get on the writers for season three. Can not wait for the boys of Chicago Fire to be back!

Our 7 Favorite Avocado Recipes
When it comes to healthy eating, avocados are our best friends. (Let's get real here: they taste like butter.) It's no wonder we've got so many ways to use them. Here are seven of our favorite recipes, from the superlative classics (guacamole) to the weird-but-really-work dishes (avocados in dessert, anyone?). A happy new year, it will be.

Add dashes of Hot sauce, lime & salt. Sip Cervaza. Perfect!!! And it comes in it's own bowl!!!!
over 1 year ago schatzibun
Try adding truffle salt to your avocado. This combination is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Our guacamole is simply those two ingredients. SPread it on toast, use it with chips. You will be converted.
over 1 year ago cabfood
Slice nicely ripened avocado in half. Stand near sunny window, spoon in one hand, salt shaker balanced on window sill. Lightly salt cut side surface of avocado. Slide spoon into soft flesh taking bite size pieces. Eat. Enjoy the view. Continue to eat until you can no longer see the salt. Resalt. Continue eating. Forget your promise that you would save the other half of avocado for someone else.
over 1 year ago Sam1148
I do the same but fill the seed hole with some vinegar and olive oil and eat with a spoon.
over 1 year ago HapppyBee
Ditto except fill the seed hole with some freshly squeezed lemon juice. Nirvana!
over 1 year ago Amanda S
I love eating avocado instead of butter on bread with a dash of salt. It's something I picked up in Chile where avocado is widely popular on everything! It's my favorite thing in the world.

Yum!! Butter is the perfect description —they are JUST that.

Questionable competence
Last year, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the legislature created the Board of Regents for Higher Education. The board oversees the Connecticut State University System (Western, Central, Southern and Eastern Connecticut state universities), the Community College System and Charter Oak State College. Its establishment allowed the state to eliminate the Department of Higher Education (DHE).
This week, Robert A. Kennedy, the board's president, admitted that between December 2011 and September 2012, he unilaterally authorized raises — some of which approached $49,000 — for 21 board employees.

New sport creates buzz at Wamogo
LITCHFIELD — They are the new kid on a rapidly expanding block that used to belong to the prep schools. Wamogo tangled with Watertown on Thursday, a rare meeting between two neighboring school districts, but this was in lacrosse, a sport exploding in popularity. It wasn't long ago that a reference to laxmen mistakenly meant the unmotivated. These days, however, people know who laxmen are and lacrosse is bringing many schools together.
Wamogo is in its first varsity season, joining Housatonic, Watertown, Lewis Mills and St. Paul in the Western Connecticut Lacrosse Conference.

Fire Island assesses its future after Sandy
OCEAN BEACH, N.Y. (AP) — New Yorkers who cherish Fire Island as an idyllic summertime getaway feared the worst when the 32-mile-long barrier island took a direct hit from Superstorm Sandy's powerful surge. The wall of water swamped nearly the entire island, destroyed or washed away about 200 homes and scraped sand dunes down to nothing.
Still, residents are counting their blessings.

Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper, White
- Summary
Over the years, we've experimented with a lot of different methods for brewing single cups of coffee – and Hario's classic ceramic dripper ranks among the best. This manual brewing method gives you complete control over brewing time and temperature, so your coffee is brewed just the way you like it.
- Designed for the manual, pour-over style of brewing, this simple device brews extraordinary coffee right into your cup or serving vessel.
- The rich, aromatic brew flows through the cone into your cup or coffee pot.
- For optimal extraction, the brewing cone features a precisely angled design and spiral-ribbed side walls.
- A large hole at the bottom of the cone allows coffee to flow freely, so you can customize flavor and strength with the speed at which you pour the hot water (quickly for lighter coffee or slowly for a darker brew).
- The durable, ceramic body retains heat to help ensure a constant temperature throughout the brewing cycle.
- Works perfectly with the Hario V60 Buono Kettle.
- Designed for use with V60 size 02 paper or cloth filters.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 4 1/2" diam., 4" high.

Abigail Van Buren, Dear Abby
This photo of Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) was taken in the 1960's. She was born Pauline Esther Phillips (her twin was "Ann Landers") in 1918 in Iowa and began her "Dear Abby" column in 1956 at the age of 37 in San Francisco California.
A strong woman, she called the San Francisco Chronicle andtold them that she could write a better advice column than they were running at the time. She was right - they hired her and she wrote her column for decades, eventually being syndicated in hundreds of newspapers.
She died on January 16, 2013 at the age of 94 of Alzheimers but I certainly remember beginning every day when I was a child by first reading "Dear Abby" in my parents' newspaper. ... show more

Gordon Biersch
Gordon Biersch is a favorite among locals and visitors. The bar features five plasma televisions, as well as a peek into the restaurant's brewing facilities; brewery tours and beer samplings are given by the Brew Master and staff. The signature beers at Gordon Biersch include the light, refreshing Golden Export, traditional Hefeweizen, the deceptively strong Blonde Bock and the classic Bohemian-style Czech pilsner.
For group reservations, contact Lisa Anzalone at (504) 552-2739 or email@example.com.
"Serving up "delicious" "craft beers" that "beat" the "decent" American pub grub (though all "hail" the "amazing" garlic fries); an "enjoyable happy-hour kind of place"; the "relaxed" atmosphere is well suited to "kicking back with friends", especially on "game days."

Understanding Renter Rights and Responsibilities
The annual fall migration of students to college towns and cities across Texas can be intimidating for students who are renting their own place to live for the very first time. Knowledge about the legal protections afforded to renters can help protect their pocketbooks and take some stress out of the process. Most landlords require a tenants signature on a lease. Renters should read their leases carefully before they sign them. Real-estate agents who know the rental market may be able to help and typically do not charge renters for their services because landlords pay the agents fees. Renters who want to change a part of their lease should discuss the changes with the landlord. If the landlord agrees, the two should decide how they want to phrase the change and write it into the agreement. Both parties should then initial the agreed-upon change. For example, while many standard leases prohibit pets, some landlords may be willing to accept a pet if the tenant pays an extra security deposit. Once renters have signed their leases, moved in and unpacked, they can expect to enjoy certain rights which include: Peace and quiet A landlord cannot evict renters without cause nor can they disturb tenants right to enjoy their residence. Privacy Tenants should study their leases carefully to determine the circumstances under which a landlord may enter their homes. Unless a lease agreement says that the landlord can enter the unit, the landlord has no right to do so, except perhaps in case of emergency or to conduct repairs the tenant has requested. Locks and security Although there are some specific exceptions, under Texas law, a residence must be equipped with security devices such as window latches, keyed dead bolts on exterior doors, sliding door pin locks and sliding door handle latches or sliding door security bars. These devices must be installed at the landlords expense. If these devices are missing or are defective, a tenant has the right to request their installation or repair. Smoke detectors The landlord must provide smoke detectors. A tenant may not waive that provision and may not disconnect or disable the smoke detector. Freedom from discrimination Landlords are clearly prohibited from discriminating against renters because of their race, national origin, religion, gender, familial status or disability. Freedom from retaliation Under Texas law, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate within six months against a tenant who complained in good faith about necessary repairs. Tenants also have a number of responsibilities of their own. These obligations may include: Paying rent in full and on time in accordance with the lease agreement. Appropriate upkeep of the rental property. The landlord may not charge the renter for normal wear and tear on the premises and may only charge for extraordinary damage. Notifying the landlord of necessary repairs in writing. If the landlord fails to make repairs that materially affect tenants health, safety or security, and tenants follow the procedures required by law, tenants may be entitled to end their lease, have the problem repaired on their own and deduct the cost of the repair from their rent. Tenants also could take legal action against a landlord who refuses to make required repairs. If possible, renters should consult with an attorney or legal aid clinic before deciding how to proceed. Giving notice of a tenants intent to move out. Many leases require 30 days notice as a condition of returning a renters deposit though some agreements require more than 30 days notice. Giving a landlord notice of a tenants forwarding address. Landlords are required to return tenants security deposits or explanations of deductions within 30 days of their departure. Property codes can be confusing. Texans who have questions about their specific situations can contact their local tenants councils or other resources listed in the Points to Remember section of this column. October 2013

OuiShare FEST
Village de Ndem
On the 13th of december, thieves broke into my house and stole my entire photo equipment as well as the main part of my electronic devices:
We're still waiting for the estimate of the insurance company, but we already know that we will not be fully refunded for what we've been stolen (around 15 000€ worth of equipment) :(
Those who know me know that I'am not eager to complain nor to demoralize; they also know that I don't hesitate to ask for help when I need some or to help someone in trouble. As I need to quickly re-buy a big part of my equipment in order to get back to work, I've decided to launch a little Crowd ReFunding campaign on Kapipal.
If you want to contribute and help me because:
- …I worked for you for free
- …I offered you some free pictures
- …I discounted my fares when I worked for you …You like one of my 9 ready-to-print pictures
- …You would like a printed copy of one of my pictures that you can select among my archive (you can go through them here or on Facebook)
- …You need some new pictures
- …You would like to cover an event
You can contribute buying one of my product or services or suggest me one.
You can also help me to buy some second-hand equipment. Write me a mail and I'll let you know what I'am looking for.

L'endroit est somptueux, et la voix de Laura est sublimissime.. un grand moment de rêve!
