Monday was a GREAT DAY! I had not just one great Tweet Up, but TWO! A Military Wife Tweet Up and a Cupcake Tweet Up! Can't beat that with a bat! [Read more…]
Retro Bakery – Las Vegas, NV
Just about 20 minutes from The Strip in Vegas, Retro Bakery is located just off the highway in a quaint little shopping center. I was greeted by a super cute, super friendly bundle of joy named Kari. I had tweeted to her (@RetroBakery) earlier that morning that I was going to be stopping by that day, but I wasn't sure if she had checked her Twitter or not, so I didn't mention right away who I was. But… eventually it all came out who I was and how I came to land at the Retro Bakery that day!
Ok… now the cupcakes. I should have taken a picture of the display case. There were so many delicious cupcakes to choose from, it was very hard to pick. My husband and I decided we'd each pick two.
I chose the Peanut Butter Cup (Chocolate cake topped with peanut butter buttercream and dark chocolate shavings) and the Cinnamon Toast (vanilla cake topped with cinnamon buttercream dusted with cinnamon and sugar) cupcakes while my husband chose the Cotton Candy (Vanilla cake topped with pink cotton candy buttercream and blue glitter sugar) and the Creamsicle (Vanilla cake topped with a vanilla/orange swirl buttercream).
The tag line on the bakery's business card is "It's All About the Buttercream" and they aren't kidding!! The buttercream on these cupcakes was TO. DIE. FOR. Creamy, flavorful, smooth… it just rolled across my tongue with each bite. Each buttercream flavor was distinctly the flavor it said it was going to be. So when I bit into the peanut butter… it actually tasted like peanut butter. Most suprpisingly, the cotton candy buttercream tasted exactly like cotton candy!!
As I look back, I wish I would have tired one more cupcake with a different base flavor. We had three with vanilla and one chocolate. The chocolate was so delish… most and chocolatey!! Yummm!! I gotta give it to the vanaill though… because it was by far the BEST vanilla cupcake I have EVER tasted! It was dense, but not mushy, springy and moist, full of flavor and baked PERFECTLY. I could have eaten those vanilla cupcakes alone if the buttercream had not been so heavenly!
So thank you to Kari for being so sweet when we came to visit!! And thank you to Retro Bakery for making such delicious cupcakes!! I can't wait to get back to Las Vegas to try four more flavors!
West Seattle Summer Fest & Cupcake Royale
This weekend was a good one. Yesterday, my husband and I had the whole day to ourselves to do anything we wanted. On the list was to go to the West Seattle Summer Fest and eat a cupcake from Cupcake Royale.
Let me tell you… the cupcakes we devoured did not disappoint. I enjoyed a "Triple Threat" chocolate cupcake and my husband had a "Salted Caramel" cupcake. Both most, delicious, and divine. If you get a chance… visit one of the Cupcake Royale's in Seattle… it's a MUST DO on any trip to the city!! (PS, Cupcake Royale is on Twitter too!)
Avocado Creations
Like I've said before, I've made some great connections via Twitter and this blog. But never would have I expected the generosity and kindness of Gina of "Avocado Creations". She sent me a DM on Twitter a couple weeks ago and said she had made something for me. Shocked and surprised I gave her my address and a few days later the most wonderful tote bag arrived in the mail! She custom made it for me… cupcakes on the outside and coffee on the inside. It's so perfect for me and Java Cupcake!!
You must check out Avocado Creations!

Takil post with pics from habitat,some of the best I have ever se
Posted on the GOTE forum,stunning pics of Takil in habitat
growing next to Pine,Oak and many other plants in this
amazingly diverse and magical area where they come from!
Here is a link that might be useful: Takil
Thanks Jim, that was a real treat to see them in the natural habitat.
I noticed they do not mind part shade and can grow from under large trees. They also grew on steep slopes. I have a hunch their roots are designed well for slopes and do not require a level surface like most other palms. Some leaves looked bent down and it had that look our unwraped palms get after a heavy snow. It must snow there once in a while.
Its a very beautiful palm, too bad that many plants sold as takil in the US are mislabeled. Those seem to be in very heavy shade and I think Trachys look best when in shade despite there slower growth and less resistance to wind and snow (since the leaves are so streched out).
Thanks for sharing!
I had two of these but one died over the winter. Before i saw this I wasn't sure if mine was takil. Mine has stiff, thinly serrated leaves just like the one in the pic.
I think this place sells real takil. Their info is off but this is real
Here is a link that might be useful: t. takil
It does snow and get cold there,down to 0(f) I have heard.
In the summer they have heavy monsoon rains.
It is better to grow Trachy seedlings in part shade as they will grow faster.
They do grow in semi-shade in habitat until they reach their massive heights(for a Trachy)of 30-50 feet.
They are forecasting 97 here for Monday!
Can't really believe it,we'll see about that.
No matter though with 10+ days of 80+ weather
should see some explosive growth!-esp out of the Nanars.

Arthur Ford
Arthur Ford (January 8, 1896 – January 4, 1971) was an American psychic, spiritual medium, clairaudient, and founder of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship (1955). He gained national attention when he claimed to have contacted the dead son of Bishop James Pike in 1967 on network TV. In 1928 Ford claimed to have contacted the deceased spirits of Houdini's mother and later in 1929 Harry Houdini himself.
Early life[edit]
Arthur Ford was born in Titusville, Florida and grew up in Fort Pierce, Florida. As a youth he followed a religious pilgrimage that took him to Transylvania College, a Disciples of Christ school in Lexington, Kentucky. Ordained as a Disciples minister, he served a church in Barbourville, Kentucky. Ford said he realized his psychic abilities during World War I. He claimed that while in the army, he could "hear" the names of soldiers several days before they would appear on casualty lists.[1]
Around 1921, Ford was a traveling Spiritualist trance medium who professed to be controlled by a spirit guide he referred to as "Fletcher." He eventually settled in New York City as pastor of a Spiritualist church. He developed a popular following, and in 1927 traveled to Great Britain. One of his lectures was attended by veteran Spiritualist Sir Conan Doyle, who enthusiastically told people the next day, "One of the most amazing things I have ever seen in 41 years of psychic experience was the demonstration of Arthur Ford."[2][3]
Ford was tested only once by the American Society for Psychical Research. He attempted to identify through psychic means the owners of objects (psychometry). He completely failed the test.[4]
Houdini messages[edit]
Following her husband's death in 1926, Bess Houdini began attending seances conducted by Ford. Author Andrew Lycett suggests that Arthur Conan Doyle encouraged a "vulnerable" Bess to believe Ford's claims that he could contact the dead in order "to win an important victory for Spiritualism".[5] In 1928, Ford claimed he was able to contact Harry Houdini's deceased mother via his spirit guide "Fletcher." A year later, he claimed to contact the deceased Houdini himself and relay the full text of a secret message Houdini proposed to convey to Bess after his death. Bess initially endorsed Ford's claims, but later repudiated them.[6] Authors William Kalush and Larry Sloman speculate that Bess Houdini was initially supportive of Ford's claims due to the effects of alcoholism, and that she had romantic feelings for Ford. Others such as Milbourne Christopher speculate that the text of the message used a private code between Houdini and his wife that could have easily been broken by Ford or his associates using a number of existing clues.[2][5][7][8][9]
Allegations of fraud[edit]
After Ford's death in 1971, biographer Allen Spraggett and associate Rev. William V. Rauscher found what they believed to be evidence that the Houdini séance had been faked. They also found Ford's files: a collection of obituaries, newspaper clippings and other information disguised as bound poetry books, which they claim enabled Ford to research his clients' backgrounds. They also discovered evidence which suggested to them that Ford had faked a 1967 seance with Bishop James Pike in which Ford claimed to contact the bishop's deceased son.[1][10] Psychology professor and critic James Alcock wrote that these revelations exposed Ford as a fraud,[11] and skeptical investigator Joe Nickell has characterized Ford as "a clever fraud artist."[12]
Ford's biographer concluded "The evidence is disquietingly strong that Ford cheated—deliberately as well as unconsciously".[13]

Rusted pipe - need advice
I am helping my brother put new sink cut off vlves on his bathroom. When removing one of the valves, we noticed first that the pipe was iron (tested with a magnet), and second that is was coroded on the bottom so that most of the threads were gone. This is an old beach home built in 1956 and we knowthat the majority of the piping is copper, but we do not know where this iron pipe came from. The other pipe is is good condition.
So how can we repair this pipe? What is it attached to behind the wall? We are hoping that we can vice grip it and unscrew it from whatever coupling is behind it. Does this seem feasable? We want to avoid cutting out the plaster in the bedroom to access the area.
1956 was when galvanized steel for DWV lines was in common use.
Some supply lines also.
While there are ways to patch up the rusted out pipe if all you have to do is some plaster repair you probably should start learning how.
The odds of getting a short rusted section of galvanized steel out of the next fitting (and a new piece of anything screwed into it) are not good.

Australian Open: Sharapova, Federer advance in cooler weather
Maria Sharapova beats Alize Cornet in straight sets in Melbourne.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA—Maria Sharapova recovered from the longest, hottest match of her career to beat Alize Cornet 6-1, 7-6 (6) Saturday and reach the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Her third-round match was played in high humidity but in temperatures of about 22C, considerably cooler than the scorching 42C conditions she endured for three hours, 28 minutes in her second-round win over Karin Knapp two days previously. That preceded the first match suspensions under the tournament's extreme heat policy in five years.
Again, though, Sharapova struggled to close out. She took 50 minutes between her first and last match points against Knapp, and needed almost a half-hour to finish off Cornet — she missed a match point with a wayward backhand on the Frenchwoman's serve and then got broken twice while trying to serve out.
In the next match at Rod Laver Arena, Roger Federer — after a detour to Hisense Arena in the second round — earned a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 win over Teymuraz Gabashvili. He is seeded sixth after a year in which he didn't reach a Grand Slam final for the first time since 2002. His wife, Mirka, and their twin daughters were on hand watching the match against Gabashvili. The couple is expecting another child later in the year, something Federer sees as a good omen.
"The last time (Mirka) was pregnant I played fairly well, won the French and Wimbledon!" he said, in reference to 2009. "So lots of pressure there."
Federer will next meet either 2008 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or No. 18 Gilles Simon.
Sharapova is slowing finding her groove in her second tournament back after a prolonged break for a right shoulder injury. She had six double-faults and 29 of her total 35 unforced errors in the second set after breezing through the first against Cornet.
"After the last match I'm just happy to get through this," Sharapova said. "Definitely need to step it up. I was lucky to get through the other day. Now that I'm in the second week, I'm level."
The four-time major winner needed an ice bath after her second-round win but joked about needing a warm bath following her victory over Cornet.
"It's such a quick change," Sharapova said of the cooler conditions. "I think it's really welcome from all of us.
"Everyone that played a long match in those conditions is going to feel physically and emotionally tired, and that's the way it goes. You just have to find a way to get through it . . . that's what I did."

An HHA certificate expires in two years if you have not had 12 hours of in-service per year. So, you can see if an agency will take your certificate in order to qualify you to take the "competency course" which means you would be tested on the entire HHA program to see if you are eligible for the certification again. If not, you have to take the whole course again. The problem is, not many agencies provide the competency examination anymore. Licensed training schools in New York State are not allowed to offer that option. Licensed agencies who have an approved curriculum amy have approval for competency ONLY.

Hi, I was working as H.H.A for years, then i went to school for Cosmetology and Esthetician. I have been working in Spa for about 10 years.
I decided to go back to be HHA again, but company can take me because I don't have my HHA Certificate, but I can not do again because I'm already certified. Where can I go to find my Certification?
Please someone help.

When deployed in an OSGi container, calling new Tika() will dynamically load all available Parser and Detector services. This works fine for the typical use case where the facade instance is only used for a single specific task (parsing a single document, etc.).
However, if a client instead uses a singe, long-lived Tika instance, the list of referenced services never gets updated even if the set of services in the container changes over time. To address this problem we should make Tika reload the set of available services each time they're needed. The performance overhead of doing this should be minimal compared to the typical parsing or type detection tasks.

Where did you find the adapter? Nice photo as well, it get's me excited about using my Miranda lenses with my NEX-7. Thanks!
Thanks! I got it off of eBay from this seller: myworld.ebay.com/ramir73/ I don't see any listings right now but you could try messaging him to see if he has any more.

IEEE Xplore subscriptions
In today's emerging network-on-chips, there is a need for different traffic classes with different quality-of-service guarantees. Within our NoC architecture nostrum, we have implemented a service of guaranteed bandwidth (GB), and latency, in addition to the already existing service of best-effort (BE) packet delivery. The guaranteed bandwidth is accessed via virtual circuits (VC). The VCs are implemented using a combination of two concepts that we call 'Looped Containers' and 'Temporally Disjoint Networks'. The looped containers are used to guarantee access to the network-independently of the current network load without dropping packets; and the TDNs are used in order to achieve several VCs, plus ordinary BE traffic, in the network. The TDNs are a consequence of the deflective routing policy used, and gives rise to an explicit time-division-multiplexing within the network. To prove our concept an HDL implementation has been synthesised and simulated. The cost in terms of additional hardware needed, as well as additional bandwidth is very low-less than 2 percent in both cases! Simulations showed that ordinary BE traffic is practically unaffected by the VCs.

Time to move on
After nearly 6 months trying to get the floor plan we like for a reasonable price, we decided to move on. We had the floor plan we loved, but it turned out to be almost $100,000 over budget. We made some easy changes on windows, bathroom fixtures and a few other things. Then the builder and architect cut down the size and we spent about 3 months refining it only to have it come back $20,000 higher than the bigger house with the nicer options. How can that be?
I never once thought we would walk away. It really hurts. After talking about building our dream house for about 20 years and finally deciding the time was right, we took a chance and failed. It is going to take some time to even consider starting over.
The one piece of advice I can offer is to find a builder and architect that can give you an idea on the price of the house while you are designing it instead of you building up your dreams only to have them crushed in the end.
That is a sad, but common, story. It's extremely rare to hear someone say: we wanted to build such-and-such a house and it came in on budget and was the size and quality we wanted. The reality is that, for those of us who don't have unlimited funds, it is easy to convince ourselves that we can get everything we want at a reasonable price. I've built three times, and had really good architects and builders, but it always ended up over budget. I think the only advice I can offer is to plan for something smaller than you would like so you can afford it, but have a plan that allows expansion at some time in the future when your income matches your vision.
I may be wrong but what I recall is that you wanted about a 3,800 s.f. one story ranch style house with a 55 ft roof clear span. If that is true, it would not give an architect many opportunities for a cost effective design.
I am sorry that happened. One of the best items of advice I heard (too late for us) is to get a builder on board at the same time you get the architect on board. You will have to pay the builder, of course, but if you get a knowledgable one he can give you some advice from the front end (like a 55 clear roof span is not in your budget ;)) As laypeople, we have no clue. . . Then you don't design a house you can't build.
We designed a house that we could afford to build but it was WAY (like over a 1/3) higher than we expected. We made some expensive decisions along the way, like a walk out basement with raised terrace above (can you say structural steel and concrete???).
Macy- I'm so sorry your project didn't work out, but maybe some time off is all you need. Take a break, be realistic about your budget (not just what you can afford, but what you really want to spend) and then think about finding an architect/builder, at the same time.
If it helps, my mom spent a lot of time researching her retirement home...and finally found what she liked and could easily afford. I think it's as important to have some money left to enjoy life...as it is to have the house. It's so easy to get excited and get more house than you can afford, before the unexpected costs. Maybe think about a smaller home, in a great location...or flexible spaces that can be used different ways.
I don't know much about your project, so only trying to offer some general advice. My grandmother always said...if you really try to get something done and it just won't work out...think about trying it from another angle. Maybe there's a reason for the setback and you'll end up with something much better, than you originally planned.
I feel for you and am going down a similar road. We are trying to juggle an early retirement for my husband (age 62) and build our forever/dream home. We showed the builder a plan with fairly detailed specs. He gave us an estimate which made our financial planner flinch.
So we thought about our priorities and decided hubby's retirement is #1, building the house is #2. We'll put off the house for at least a year after retirement, I'll keep working after he retires - in other words, we're thinking very hard about what it will take to make it happen. God and the stock market willing, we hope we'll make our goal in a couple of years.
Keep thinking about what is really important and I hope your dream works out.
What do you mean by a 55 foot clear span roof not helping with cost-cutting design ideas?
MacyPA, in another thread said, "The house is a ranch, is roughly 70 wide x 55 deep and has an open floor plan. The only causes I was given for the roof line [that increased the cost by $100,000] were the depth (55 feet) of the house and the open floor plan which made the trusses big and expensive."
Using a 55 ft truss for a residence results in unavoidable structural costs normally only found in commercial buildings where the return on investment justifies such extra costs.
MacyPA has not told us much about this project but what we do know indicates to me that the cost overruns might not be the fault of the designers. It is rare for a truss to be 55 ft even for a commercial building because few uses other than auditoriums and athletic enclosures require a completely open floor space. Normally for a residence columns are used to reduce the spans and the size of the beams/trusses which greatly reduce the costs.
I'm sorry that you are frustrated, but a 70x55 foot home with open floor plan is setting yourself up for that budget busting failure from the beginning. That's a deep pocket dream build, not one that involves around meeting any target number. It's something your home designer should have communicated to you at meeting one when approached with that idea.
There are plenty of ways to have a 4000 square foot home with an open floor plan that don't involve the logistics of commercial construction. Creating two stories, or going longer and narrower, or internal support posts that help to keep spaces defined yet spacious are ways that can do that and won't need a week with a crane and enough steel to build an average ship.
Take a rest and start over by talking to a builder first and have him involved from the beginning. That will keep the design honest and grounded around doable construction parameters instead of designing something that will need engineering studies to be able to create it.

Decent looking lamp, plastic shade
This lamp looks decent. I knew from other reviews before purchasing that the shade is plastic - which of course is a slight disappointment, but it's a good buy in this price range. Haven't noticed the lamp to be top heavy as some reviews stated.Read More
When the lamp arrived it was packaged very well. It took just one minute to assemble and I love it. The base is heavy and stable. When the light is on it is so attractive and helpful. I use it for reading and it is perfect.Sometimes I turn it on just because it is so nice. Thank you Overstock. You have'nt let me down yet.Read More
Easy assembly, perfect reading lamp, a beautiful addition to my cozy reading corner!Read More
Shade is a little small
Other than that, this lamp is perfect. It is not as tall as some tiffany floor lamps which worked out quite well as this old house has slanted ceilings so it fit the spot perfectly. Arrived on time in perfect condition. Great service after a few hiccups on ordering issues. I will return as an overstock customerRead More
great lamp. very heavy base and easy enough for even a great grandmother to assemble.Read More
Great Lamp for price!
Great light for the price! Beautiful colors in the shade. The stand came in three parts to srew together-very easy. I placed the lamp in my sunroom as a night light with low walt bulb... it brightens up the space nicely! Just love it!Read More
Doesn't live up to the standards
I do love the style of this lamp, but the workmanship is very poor with big globs of solder instead of a fine bead. It is also very dull. The pole and base don't fit together properly with a gap on the lower end. I'd have sent it back but destroyed the box when removing it.Read More
No help needed!
I love the lamp! The lamp is exactly the way it looked in the pictures.Read More
Beautiful reading lamp
This dragonfly lamp is just what I was looking for. I use it for reading beside my favorite chair. It has a sturdy base so it doesn't rock like my last lamp. Also, the shade angle can be slightly adjusted, which is nice. When it is lit up, it is just beautiful.Read More
This is a beautiful lamp. The wings on the Dragonfly's almost are a shimmery metallic look when the lamp is on. It gives a bit of color to your room and I am very happy with the quality!Read More

Style! I have purchased things from you in the past and have always been happy with your products and service.
looking for a reading lamp and like this one.
I saw a red dragonfly reading floor lamp earlier but cannot find it again, need help finding it
Thank you for your question, Patrice. We have a Tiffany-style Blue Dragonfly Floor Lamp, item 10189208 and we have a Tiffany-style Dragonfly Floor Lamp, item 12617982 and we have the Tiffany-style Green/ Yellow Dragonfly Floor Lamp, item 14976917. But, we could not find the red one. We are sorry. Have a great day.
What is the overall height & width? What is the shade height & width? What is the base width?
Thank you for your question, maiad. The overall height and width of the Tiffany-style Dragonfly Reading Lamp is; 63 inches h x 10 inches w. The height and width of the shade is; 7 inches h x 10 inches w and the width of the base is 10 inches. Have a great day.
This lamp must be used on a hard floor. It is tippy when used on parred carpeting.
I have a low pile rug in my bedroom and have had no problems with tipping even when I knocked it several times when vacuuming. Surprising good quality and very pretty.
what does it mean to have a floor switch?
Its a button attached to the wire that lays on the floor. Not exactly thrilled with that but the lamp is beautiful.
Round foot button on cord that comes out of base of lamp. I like it because I can hide the cord under the dresser and put the button at the edge for my foot to turn it on. Excellent piece.
Can you send me a photo of the base?
Unfortunately, at this time, the information is not available. As the information becomes available, the site will be updated. Have a great day.
Who is the manufacturer of this lamp?
Hello virgomoonmama, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
Is there a source for replacement parts for this lamp?
You will be contacted by customer service for assistance. Have a great day
I am not sure. I did not plan on investing a lot of time or money in it, considering the low price.
It's a floor lamp. What does it mean that it has to be hardwired?
This particular item requires hard wiring.

Tips on Buying Tiffany Lamps

How to Buy a Lampshade
Lamps are more than just functional pieces; they also contribute to the decor of a room. Their sizes vary, from table lamps to floor lamps, and a large variety of styles are available to suit any home decor. Lampshades are usually the focal point of lamps. They complement the base of the lamp, and they also hide the bulb and diffuse the light. To achieve the best effect with a lampshade, simplicity is the key. Ornate floor and table lamps are best complemented by simple lampshades, while a simple table or floor lamp can support a more decorative lampshade.
FAQs about Accent Tables
It's a common misconception that you need a lamp or a piece of art to complete a room. While those are both good choices, the same function can be filled with an elegant end table. Convenient, functional and at least semi-portable, living room accent tables are quickly becoming the accessory of choice in all types of homes. The right accent table can complement any style and provide an added storage area in even the smallest of spaces. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about accent tables.

The Space
I am offering my cozy English garden apartment, located in Adams Morgan, in the thriving heart of DC!
IMPORTANT: Please click "Contact Host" and send me a note if you're thinking of coming to the area. I prefer this to simply receiving a booking request that I only have the option of accepting or declining! :)
The apartment is in great shape and will be a very comfortable place for you (and your friends /family) to stay in. The apartment is a one bedroom, one bath English basement in DC's historic Adams Morgan neighborhood. The 700 + sq/ft apartment features a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, central heat and air, full kitchen, a large and sunny bedroom with a queen-size bed, TV/DVD, and wireless internet connection. There is also a big couch that pulls out into a queen-size bed. The apartment has a semi-separate dressing room with large closet you can use to hang clothes. Clean towels and linens will be provided for you as well!
Bathroom: The bathroom has a full tub. And of course you could just use it for a shower. A hairdryer is also provided.
The refrigerator is medium sized: feel free to stock any small kitchen supplies. The stove/oven is electric and works great. There are 4 burners, a microwave, a toaster and a kettle and a coffee machine that you should feel free to use.
I have a washer/dryer you will be able to use as well.
No smoking, heavy partying or pets are permitted.
** Please DO NOT book before contacting me. Availability may not be reflected on the online calendar. **
The apartment is situated just a short block from the Adams Morgan neighborhood hotspots of 18th Street's restaurants and nightlife. There is quick access to public transportation (bus stops are a two minute walk away) and it is easy to get to wherever you may want to go during your time here. It's also just 2-miles from the mall and an easy walk to two metro lines (about 15 minutes to the green/yellow line on U Street, 12 minutes to the Red line in Woodley Park and 15 minutes to the red line in Dupont Circle).
You will be located four minutes from a Harris Teeter grocery shop, and about 5 minutes from a Safeway and a "Yes" organic shop. Street parking may be available, though I do not have a designated one. There are a few parking garages nearby that cost about $25 per day(this is a popular neighborhood, especially on weekends).
A two-night night minimum stay is required (if more than seven nights, there is a weekly rate).
If interested, I would be happy to answer any questions, upload more photos of the apartment and discuss arrangements.
I'd be happy to offer you some tour, restaurant and nightlife tips when you're here as well!
Guest Access
Guests have access to the full apartment.
Interaction with Guests
I usually meet guests with keys, or arrange for neighbor/friend to meet them upon check in.
Getting around
The apartment is located in Adams Morgan,one of the best neighborhoods in town, but close to the historic center of DC - only 10-15 min by bus or Metro from the National Mall. There are bus stops on the block of where you will be staying, and the red and green Metro stations are a short walk from the place.
Other Things to Note
I have some guidebooks with helpful information for your stay. I also have maps, information on local restaurants, helpful tips on the apartment, etc.
Not many:
No shoes allowed in apartment, no pets, no smoking, no heavy partying.
Great location, very friendly hosting. I felt very looked after!
Thanks Ami!
Ami à été très prévenant et la location
Est très bien situé, nous avons passé trois belles journées
Ami was very helpful. The apartment is so close to the lovely Adams Morgan 18th street that we ended up going out for more meals than we expected and it is also very cool even on hot days. I would definitely check with Ami next time we're in DC.
I stayed at Ami's apartment in DC for 3 nights. Upon arrival, myself and my two friends were greeted by Ami and he showed us the apartment, gave us a wealth of helpful tips about the area and DC at large, and furthermore took us for a tour of the neighborhood. He was extremely pleasant and easily contactable at any time. The place itself was extremely clean, very spacious, and in an amazing location in the heart of Adams Morgan. The neighborhood had an abundance of places to eat and drink, and a great social atmosphere. It was very easy to get to the Mall strip from Ami's place and see all the sights. If I ever come back to DC again I will definitely try to stay at his place, it was a fantastic experience!
We had a fine week staying at Ami's apartment. It was quiet despite being around the corner from a very busy part of the neighborhood. The neighborhood was fun to walk around, and we enjoyed the people we met. Ami's apartment was an easy walk from just about anything we needed. Stores are close, bus stops are close, even the Metro is relatively close. Dupont Circle is a pleasant stroll away, as is Meridian Hill Park. There are several options nearby for picking up Capital Bikeshare bicycles, including one near the zoo that's convenient to the Rock Creek Trail for an easy ride down to the Lincoln Memorial. Ami's apartment was comfortable on the hottest days without having to run the A/C much at all. Gabby got us going, Ami checked in with us, and we felt comfortable and safe. We would stay again (assuming Ami will have us).
We live in the DC area but were spending the weekend downtown. The apartment was exactly as advertised -- clean, cozy, comfortable and convenient. Ami met us and gave us the orientation to the apartment and neighborhood. He was helpful and informative. We would definitely rent this unit again!
Ami was super friendly, and nice to talk to. The apartment is perfectly located and easily accessible with public transit. It is also very spacious and quite. I enjoyed my stay there and can fully recommend the apartment.

Puzzled - Christmas
Get into the Yuletide spirit with the game that Christmas was (possibly) invented for! Whoever heard of a jigsaw puzzle that contained bombs, Brussels sprouts & other traditional Christmas trimmings? Who knew that Christmas could even be enjoyable without any wrapping paper? Puzzled: Christmas brings you all of this and much more, without the mess, the Queen's speech, the awful Christmas cracker jokes or the drunken family sing-alongs! You do still get to enjoy the delights of updated Christmas carols though. Puzzled: Christmas is not one of those sliding block games of old, where you just move a space around to form a picture. Instead it offers a deeper, fun-filled challenge as you manipulate the puzzle pieces, attempting to beat the clock and avoid the bombs all the while trying to combine items to make your Christmas that much more special. Have yourself a very Merry time with Puzzled: Christmas

It depends.
If the transaction is processed as a direct rollover to the SEP IRA, then no taxes will be withheld. Through a direct rollover, the assets are made payable to the SEP IRA custodian (or trustee or plan to which the assets are being rolled). If the transaction is processed as an indirect rollover - which means the assets are first distributed to the participant, who must then rollover the assets to the SEP IRA within 60 days - the administrator of the profit-sharing plan will withhold 20% of any portion of the distribution that is rollover eligible.
Check with the SEP IRA custodian to determine their documentation requirements (if any) for processing the direct rollover. The administrator of the profit-sharing plan may also have special documentation that the participant must complete to initiate any distribution, including those processed as a direct rollover to another retirement plan. In addition, some plan administrators require the custodian to provide an acceptance letter verifying the type of account to which the assets will be credited.
Provide the SEP IRA custodian with a copy of the most recent statement issued for the profit-sharing plan and ask that they identify any asset on the statement that cannot be held in their IRAs. If the custodian is able to hold all the assets that are currently being held in the profit-sharing plan, then all the assets may be rolled to the SEP IRA as they are. If the custodian is unable to hold any of the assets, then these cannot be rolled to the SEP IRA, and the participant may need to liquidate these assets to proceed with the rollover to the SEP IRA. Alternatively, the participant may shop around for a custodian that is able to hold all the assets.

Pretty color...I got sunburst...I use it to fold up in my luggage so when I am traveling and site seeing I just can pull it out and it us my sovinuor bag holder. The color us vibrant and so light weight....I got the matching cosmetic bag and use it as a change purse inside...
These are canvas bags, so you can wash them on gentle cycle and hang them up to dry when they show dirt or out of shape. Takes about 6 months for that to happen. The purse came out looking brand new. That is the first yellow, white, brown and tan designed purse just like this purse. I love these purses, absolutely!
Fun bag well made and is reversible. well made bright colors.
I have to give this Item a 10. Love the color and the comfort of this bag.
Both bags were as shown. Lots of compliments from friends as well as strangers in elevators and restaurants.
Got this for my daughter & she just loved it! She flies a lot, so this kind of bag works well for her.
This bag had no reviews but I took a chance because the Gigi hill products are beautiful and the quality is excellent but this bag I can't even call cute will be returning it

"The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself." ~ H.L. Mencken
