Spring Water In Canada
Check out my latest video on YouTube
Spring Water
Ahhh, there is nothing like fresh spring water.
Really, there's nothing like it.
I had been feeling a little bit in a tail spin from all my traveling lately, and haven't gotten my hands on spring water in a bit. Well after speaking at the REBOOT Toronto (event pics) event this past weekend in Toronto, I was ready for it.
In the above video my buddy Elwin and I harvest some spring water right near a town called… Springwater. To water tasted so amazing, and I literally have been having 3 times more water than normal, because my body missed it so much.
Get out and forage your own. To find a spring in your area visit Findaspring.com.
Bed of Nails
In the line of doing things for ourselves…
Ever wonder what it would feel like to lay on a bed of nails? But in a way that doesn't hurt. LOL
Yeah… me too. Well I just found the coolest product ever that pretty much duplicates it. The Spoonk!
It's a 100% organic hemp mat designed to improve sleep, reduce backpain, and eliminate stress. I have taken 2 naps on it now and they have really been deep and refreshing when I wake up. I combined it with some peaceful music and deep breathing and was asleep in 30 seconds. Awesome!
Now sold in my online store.

So I got sucked in yesterday at the local greenhouse - I went looking for horseradish root and ended up leaving with some along with about 8 different types of onion & shallot sets! I normally don't plant my onions until I do the rest of the garden in mid-late May but was thinking since the weather is starting to warm and the soil is "workable" I could probably start them soon. Anyway, I've heard a few different methods (or additives) to use when planting onions to keep the onions maggots at bay. This is what I've heard/read: Last year I planted white, yellow and red onions - I found that the yellow had the most damage and the red almost none - coincidence?? (the red also stored the best) Anybody try any of these? Any other suggestions? |

Just for fun, search this forum for "harvesting onions". You'll find pictures of Don's amazing display of onions. I'm sure he'll reply to this post soon, and tell you all you need to know and more :) |
Seems I missed this post earlier... If when you say "sets", you mean small bulbs that can either be grown for "green onions" in 4-6 weeks, or as "bulb onions" if you leave them to mature until the tops die in late summer... in my experience those will ripen much earlier for you than onions started as seed indoors in February and hardened off and transplanted to the garden in May as actively growing plants. But the "sets" or bulbs will also produce much smaller onions than onions grown from seed started in February or early March. As for the onion maggot treatment, I don't think I can be of much help there as I use chemical treatments, not organic. Usually around mid to late June, I make up a solution of something like malathion and used that as a soil drench to kill any onion maggots. Since the directions say don't harvest for 2 weeks after treatment, whereas I won't actually harvest for 10 or so weeks after treatment, I don't worry about using a chemical treatment. |

Hi everyone,
Just play my first game of Netrunner and loved it. A question came up with my friend I was playing with concerning Crypsis and the ability to add +1 STR for a credit.
The question: Does the Sterength stay on the card or dies the card reset to 0 after every run?
He thinks it does because other cards in the game say "until the end of turn", I think it doesn't because it would be broken

Read or summarize in Activity 2, Lectio Divina.
We will start by saying a little about what we mean by "theology.". Merriam-Webster defines theology as "the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially: the study of God and of God's relation to the world." So when we say we are looking at the roots of a Unitarian Universalist theology of love, we are looking at how the idea of love has become part of our religion. Using Merriam-Webster's language we are studying how love is part of our "religious faith, practice and experience."
It is also important that we understand what we mean by love. In The Four Loves, author and Christian thinker C.S. Lewis explored the different types of love that humans experience. He described affectional love—the love experienced among family members how you would feel toward your parents or siblings. He described friendship love as the feeling associated with your feelings toward close friends. He described eros as the type of love you experience if you are "in love with someone." There is a sexual component but it is also much more then that. The fourth type of love he described is charity or agape. This is the type of love that we are focusing on in this workshop. It is a universal love that some might feel toward God and feel that God returns. It is a universal love that we might feel toward our neighbors (both near and far) or toward all living beings. It is unconditional and not dependent on reciprocal feelings. It is a love that motivates people to take care of the weak and sick and to work for peace.
Our Unitarian Universalist faith comes from many different places. In this workshop we will be looking at our theology of love primarily through the lens of our Christian Universalist heritage.
In early Christian communities, there was a debate about who would be "saved" and who would end up in hell for eternity. On one side there were those called "Exclusivists." They believed that only those who believed that Jesus Christ died for their sins, followed the teachings of Jesus, and thus were Christians would be saved from going to hell after they died. All those who were not Christians and those who did bad things would be excluded from this ultimate salvation and end up in hell to suffer for eternity.
On the other side of this debate were theologians like Origen of Alexandria who lived from 185 to 254 C.E. Origen and others believed that God was ultimately a loving God. The idea of a loving God shows up repeatedly in the Christian scriptures. One of the clearest statements of a loving God we used as the quote for this workshop:
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; andeveryone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. — 1 John 4:7-8
This statement, which speaks to God's saving grace for all humanity, became the foundation for the idea of universal salvation. Origen was one of the most important early theologians to argue that God is too loving to condemn anyone to an eternity of suffering in hell. Eventually this view of universal salvation lost out and was declared heretical by the established church leadership.
However, the ideas of universal salvation were not permanently lost. Like many early Christian ideas that were declared heretical, universalism made a comeback during the Protestant Reformation. Several radical preachers in England and other parts of Europe resurrected these ideas and in turn influenced John Murray and George de Benneville who later brought Universalism to America.
Christian Universalism is not the only source of a theology of love in our Unitarian Universalist faith. While most of Christianity rejected universal salvation, the idea of a loving God was embraced by Unitarian Christians as well. This is why we find the mention of a loving God in the American Unitarian Association's Statement of Belief from 1853.
Of course, love as a philosophical or theological concept is not limited to Christianity. The idea of a loving God is important in both the Jewish and Islamic traditions. Eastern traditions, such as Buddhism, talk about the idea of "Loving Kindness" not as an attribute of a god, but as a positive state of being that must be cultivated to attain ultimate enlightenment. All of these traditions have had some impact on our modern thinking about love.

Activision is kicking off a massive Double XP weekend this weekend for both Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.
It's a good way to send off your old favorites before Modern Warfare 3 launches in two weeks time, but there's another point to all this.
As Activision explains: "Every time you prestige in MW3, you'll receive a prestige token. Use it to unlock rewards like double XP for a limited time, an extra custom class, or choose one piece of gear from your custom class to keep unlocked from rank 1 of future prestiges."
As a bonus, everyone who's prestiged in MW1 and 2, World at War and Black Ops will get bonus tokens instantly at launch, allowing them to start unlocking stuff instantly ahead of everyone else.
So if you're not already knee-deep in Battlefield 3, this weekend's double XP run is your best chance to earn some extra prestige tokens for MW3.
Here's a new video of Infinity Ward man Robert Bowling going into more detail on MW3's prestige token system.
Check out the
Modern Warfare 3 launch trailer here.

I offer these photographs for sale, images of nature and wildlife, because of the beliefs I now hold concerning their value. I believe we all have a responsibility to return the world's gifts, then maintain them for ourselves and the world's sake. I believe we should all make a concerted effort to embrace our interactions with our world and appreciate the magic therein. I believe how we do this is our own choice, so long as no individual is maimed or hurt by our actions. I believe we have the capacity for thoughtful existence on our planet and that we should make the effort to think rationally, lovingly, and with care about ourselves and our planet. It's the only one we've got. |

How you know when you're doing the right thing
So, since I last wrote, we've been doing a lot more chant in our music program. In fact, we have done the seasonally appropriate Kyrie settings for Lent and Easter.
A couple of weeks ago, a sixty-something lady came up to me after Mass with a copy of the music handout. We had done several Fauxlk pieces that day such as One Bread, One Body or similar (all those pieces run together after a while). The lady explained that she was from Somewhere Up North (don't remember exactly where), and she was coming to thank me for doing "traditional music."
Thank you, I said, it's always good to hear that our work is appreciated.
Fortunately another thing I have learned is to give the vaguest possible thanks for a compliment. You never know what somebody's about. I soon heard more than I wanted.
We used to have a great choir at St. N., she went on, but then they got a new director and we started getting all of this kind of [expletive]. I played my poker face, and she jabbed a bony, nicotine-stained finger at the Kyrie Lux et Origo on the bulletin.
I smiled and let her go her way. But all the time I was thinking:
Get used to it.
More later on why I have not posted in, oh, a year or so. Suffice it to say, as Florence King might say, a lot has happened.

Cru owner Mark Taylor opens Mediterranean-themed Siena restaurant in South Granville
When Mark Taylor, owner and sommelier at Cru (1459 West Broadway), decided to open another restaurant, he knew exactly the type of neighbourhood joint it would be: simple, casual Mediterranean food and wine served in the South Granville area he's resided in for the past nine years.
Siena (1485 12th Avenue), which opened in February, is just that—a "once-a-week restaurant," Taylor told the Straight by phone. "The idea is affordability."
Inspired by his travels to the Mediterranean, Taylor said that he initially wanted to open an Italian restaurant, but then decided to include French and Spanish offerings on the menu and wine list as well.
"It expands our options. I come at most things with a wine perspective," Taylor said.
The menu, which has a rustic, mostly Italian feel, was a collaborative effort between long-time Cru executive chef Alana Peckham and sous chef Tim Evans, who will be leading the kitchen at Siena. Highlights include housemade pastas ($15 to $18), such as braised lamb ravioli and Qualicum Bay scallop risotto; small plates ($6 to $12), such as grilled squid with chorizo stuffing; and entrée-sized proteins ($21), such as grilled sirloin. The restaurant will also have a list of daily chalkboard specials that includes a fish of the day at market price.
Similar to Cru, Taylor will be in charge of the wine selection at Siena, which he says will be limited to a constantly rotating 20 to 30 bottles from the Mediterranean region.
"It'll be mostly wines that aren't available through the regular B.C. liquor stores as I find them," Taylor said.
The 42-seat restaurant is currently open from 5 p.m. nightly. The dinner menu is available until 10 p.m., and the bar menu is offered until 11 p.m. Taylor is looking to add a brunch menu, which will continue Siena's Mediterranean theme, for weekends and holidays shortly.
"I imaging a good savoury tarte, a frittata… No eggs over-easy or bacon, but then again, nothing too exotic and weird—just comfort food," he said. "The neighbourhood has a couple of options, but I think there's lots of room for brunch here.

I am doing a basement remodel. We have one branch line duct we have to run on the bottom of the joists for about a 5 foot length. Unforntunately, it is in the middle of the basement. Currently this duct is 3.5x10. 35 sq inches. As basement height is an issue, I would like to minimize the thickness of this duct. Is it resonable to get a custom duct that would be 1.5x24 (36sq inches) or 1x36 inches? ......Darin |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its the perimeter that counts, but round is the most efficient...I'd do it, but assure that 36 inches overall is sufficient....so length matters, as well as the size of the rooms, insulation, and comfort levels.. Too small may result in noise... A poly material may have less friction. This becomes complicated, does it not ? We are only considering a 5 foot run, so worry not. I did learn something at school years ago... |

From now on whenever a friend or family member is between jobs, you should just assume that their next place of employment will be with the Eagles. Maybe it'll be something as simple as being a janitor or ball boy, or they could actually be signed to play football despite having no experience whatsoever.
But they'll go to Philadelphia, because everyone is. Maybe even players who retired because they're supposedly not wanted.
Randy Moss announced his retirement on Monday, and officially filed his retirement papers today. While that sounds important, it means absolutely nothing. Just think about how much those nasty retirement papers have held Brett Favre back over the years, most notably in 2008 when he handed in his paperwork during the offseason, and then proceeded to court Jenn Sterger in New York the next fall.
The antidote for retirement papers is simple: unretirement papers. As league spokesman Greg Aiello told Ian Rapoport of the Boston Globe, players just have to file papers of the second variety to unretire. And if/when Moss files those papers and rejoins the NFL some time this year, it turns out he's wanted after all.
The Globe's Karen Guregian reports that just after Moss filed his papers to make his retirement "official," the Eagles made an offer. Eventually this has to stop, right? The salary cap says the Eagles can't employ every remaining free agent, and we're sure the salary cap still exists. The Eagles are roughly $3 million away from that budgetary line after signing Ronnie Brown last night, and DeSean Jackson still wants a new contract and hasn't made a training camp appearance yet. We're not making any of this up, yet apparently an Eagles contract is about as easy to obtain as a pack of Junior Mints.
Eagles cap questions aside, the reported offer to Moss breathes life into a widely held theory by skeptics, and those who are incapable of believing any NFL retirement (thanks again, Favre). That theory states that Moss is just being Moss right now, and his ego was bruised when he was allowed to go belly-up in the NFL's free agency pool. The wound finally went deep enough to prompt retirement when his good ol' pal Bill Belichick went with a loud, old, and declining Chad Ochocinco, instead of a loud, old, and declining Moss.
He'll be back though, and that triumphant hopeless and painful return will happen shortly after the first major injury to a wide receiver who plays for a contending team. Desperate for fortification and depth at the position, the hypothetical team in need of a receiver will be much more open to signing Moss since contracts aren't guaranteed once the season starts.
If a championship-caliber team like the Eagles is willing to reach out now when a chunk of Moss' contract would still be guaranteed, the olive branch will surely be there in September. For minimal cost and risk, a team can buy the five plays in which Moss decides to try every game. Even at his advanced age he could show flashes of his old self if he's used sparingly and put in the right offense.
The temptation will be there, but will Moss' mind be in the right place to accept the invitation? Is Moss' mind ever in any place at all?

Have been in my apartment for 2 years. For the entire time, my friend has been visitng me here 2 or 3 times a week, usually leaving at around 1 AM. One night of the weekeend, there is one Doorman who is not fit to be a Doorman. At 1 or 2 AM, people come & go, but he is often not there. He is off with his girlfriend usually, sometimes in his apartment, sometimes in a closed office. Not only are the doors to the building wide open & not guarded, but he keeps the keys to the cars that are parked in the GUEST parking area. If someone wants to get their keys, they have to wait for him. BUT the keys are kept right on his desk at the front door for anyone to take.
I have complained about him many times to the management. Other tenants have complained to me about him, but none have complained to management out of fear of retaliation. He is the Super's son. One eevning, my friend left at 2 AM, and there was no Doorman to be found. She waited several minutes, looked in the office, walked around looking for him, but no success. So she decided she would take her own keys & leave. But her keys were not to be found. She finally found them, scattered along with several others, on a shelf of the Doorman's table. Next morning (SUNDAY) at 8 AM I get a call from the Doorman: "A guest of one of the tenants wants to go home but her keys are missing. Last night's doorman thinks he left the keys in your friend's car when he moved it. Can you call her & ask her to come back here (20 minute drive) and bring tehe keys. " I also have a note to that effect from the tenant slipped under my door. I call her - no keys in her car. She has her son look - no keys.
Fast forward a few weeks. Lease due for renewal. I sign it to renew for another year (It is generally a nice apartment - beter than anything in the area). I see the Super in the Hall & he then says "Your friend has a problem with the Doormen I ask what he means & he replies that "She stole the keys." WHAT!!!!!! Next time my friend shows up here, the Doorman (NOT the Offending Doorman as he no longer works here. The Doormen all know & like my friend and are always accomodating.), tells her that she is not allowed to park here on orders of management. This apartment borders a not-so-nice neighborhood, and there is a very steep, block long hill, unlit, to go up to get here. To not park here, she'd have to park blocks away & walk in the dark, at 1 AM (when she usually leaves). She is flabbergasted! I am incensed. The Doorman explains he doesn't know why, just his orders. On the wall right by his desk is a hand-written note with my apartment # on it saying my guests may not park in guest parking.
I write & call the management Co. Here is where it REALLY gets nuts.
So my Guests cannot park here. There is NOTHING in the lease that guarantees Guest parking. I really cannot see anything in the lease that they are breaching - except maybe my "Quiet Enjoyment" that would give me legal rights to do something. Certainly they are treating me differently than every other tenant, but I don't think there is anything illegal about that unless it is done on racial, religious, etc. grounds. I suggested we try to mediate our dispute via a local community mediation group, but they won't do it - just saying "these are our rules." They are not regulated, other than by the laws of NY State (NOT New York CITY, where I would have rights). So I feel I am stuck here another year, and every time my friend visits she does not know if she'll be able to park, or have to turn around & go home. I jsut want to stay here & have guests visit me like everyone else. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That really sucks. There is nothing in the lease about guest parking and they won't communicate with you on the matter, even through a mediation service? It looks like you have exhausted all your options to fight this new "rule". You could continue to fight this and they will see you as a "problem" in their minds, and possibley retailiate with other new "rules" or you could resign yourself to accepting the situation, as unfair as it is to you. It looks like your friend will have to park blocks away, as you say, and if you are a good friend you can give her a ride to her car when she leaves at 1:00AM. |

here's an idea - do you have any friends in the building? When you friend comes to visit you, she should just say she is visiting someone else in the building (you should clear this with the neighbor first). Line up a few neighbors who are willing. Guess this could be a pain in the ass or won't work but it was my first thought. |
Unfortunately, I do have to resign myself to accept it as it is. Or move, and then fight when they sue me for a year's rent. I've tried the "friends" thing - but they all know her too well for that. It doesn't work. To tell you just how afraid people here are of the Super, one person runs a tutoring service here. My friend's kid goes there. But rather than say anything to the Super to allow my friend to park while her kid is getting tutored, this tenant is going to lose a client. I just learned tonight that the BEST - the VERY BEST - Doorman we had here is leaving after only a few months. He told people he does not get along with the Super. He is from a family of Doormen at exclusive apartments in NYC - he really was the Ideal Doorman (NOT "Carlton the Doorman" - bring back memories? ) Management backs the Super 10000%. |

Certainly they are treating me differently than every other tenant, but I don't think there is anything illegal about that unless it is done on racial, religious, etc. grounds. Actually, this may be illegal. I know in employment, that if a company acts consistently in a certain way, that BECOMES, legally, company policy. I think you should contact a local tenant-law association, or a state-run one. |
There is nothing illegal about what the landlord has done. It is not class discrimination. The decision was based on the behavior of this person's guests. The tenant did have access to guest parking services for two years and it was recinded due to an incident. The tenant asserts that they are not guilty of losing the other person's keys but the landlord believes otherwise and has shut off all lines of communication on the matter. Without something written into the lease granting each tenant a guest spot there is not much more to do. Parking in the guest spots is up to the discretion of the landlord and their representatives (doorman) in this case. The situation does sound unfair but getting a lawyer would be a waste of time and money. |

I disagree. Guest was accused of theft when keys were found behind desk. So there was no theft. Tenant is being told to follow "unwritten" rules. If I had 'unwritten rules' I could twist things pretty much anyway I wanted to. Doesn't work that way. |
I received a new communication for the LL. it said that not following the rule is a "gross violation" of the lease (What is a GROSS violation?). It then stated the "rule" that visits must be "brief" (How long is "brief?") and may not be more than 2 days a week. No other tenant is aware of any such rule as it has not ever been posted anywhere nor has it been sent to any tenant. The Lease does have a list of about 54 Rules - I am in compliance with every one of these, but the majority of the tenants are not. Other odd provisions in the lease. It excludes all local laws from being applicable to the lease (I am SURE that is not enforceable). It also disallows any counterclaim against LL, and disallows a jury trial. Bottom Line here is that my guest was accused of something that was done by the Super's son, not my guest. It was shown that she did not do it, but I guess the Super needs a scapegoat. Very very unfair. Illegal? Like I said, I'm not so sure. QUESTION THEN: This letter sounds like they plan to try to evict me. Lease provides 3 days notice. If that notice comes while I am on vacation, can I return to an empty apartment with my belongings in storage somewhere? Or even if I am home, do they have to go to Court & at least have a hearing before they can evict me? Or is "self help" (i.e. moving me out) allowed (Lease says it is). |

it's not a matter of discrimination. It's a matter of CONTRACT LAW. By acting in a consistent manner, with consistently allowed or enforced rules, with OTHER tenants, the landlord is demonstrating that these are the rules for ALL tenants, and he may not, as a matter of CONTRACT law, modify them for a single tenant. Especially not AFTER that tenant has signed a lease which did not include those rules, and did not point out the change. (sometimes a landlord has a clause in the lease that says, "just because I don't enforce one of these rules for someone else, doesn't mean I can't enforce it with you!" but in some municipalities that's illegal. And it doesn't apply the opposite way--the rule would have to be made known to everyone, even if it weren't enforced. And as I said, in many municipalities, they couldn't do that. Also, even if it were legal, the fact that this is enforced against only ONE person, and not against many other violators, would make it unenforceable. And they can't add a rule like this AFTER the contract has been signed. You just can't. Changes to a contract, once signed, require the agreement of BOTH parties.) I think I would take your lease, and this letter, to a tenants' rights organization. I think I would also write back, by registered mail, a letter that says you are in compliance with all rules; that adding this rule AFTER you signed your lease is not enforceable because they have modified the terms of your contract without your consent, and this is NOT legal in contract law. Since they have violated the contract, you would have every right to consider it null and void (are you looking around? I know you like this place, but it sounds like somewhere else would be far preferrable now). (That good doorman might be able to write down his info about when they were given this rule that applies to you alone, and when you were told about it, as can your guest--this could become evidence that they are in violation of the contract by adding rules they did not inform you of. I think I'd ask him.) I think I'd also photocopy off that rule and pass it out to all the other tenants, because it should apply to them, too, and they need to know. I'd include a cover letter, warning them that this should apply to their caregivers, relatives, friends, etc. Surely they need to know, right? (why should you be the only one w/ angst on this?) It excludes all local laws from being applicable to the lease (I am SURE that is not enforceable). It wouldn't surprise me if this clause then makes the whole lease unenforceable. That's a clause I'd want the tenants' rights people to see. And I'd want to know, from the tenants' rights people, whether they can truly evict you within 3 days. I've always heard the evicting someone takes a LOT longer. There has to be notice; in most instances, you have to be given an opportunity to cease and desist. Of course, this is an annoying and disheartening fight, and you probably won't be issued a lease after this one is up. There is also an issue of LIBEL LAW. Your guest could write letters documenting the events, and warning the super, the landlord, and the other tenant (whose guest's keys were lost) that should they EVER say the world "stole," etc., they will be vulnerable to a lawsuit for libel. She has effectively suffered direct damage to her reputation, because she is being denied the right to visit a friend in the complex. In fact, she probably has a libel suit right NOW. The super's comments to you were libel, and she could sue his butt if she wanted to and was willing to put in the effort. The tenant asserts that they are not guilty of losing the other person's keys In the laws governing borrowing, storing, etc., there's a clear bias toward the person who initiated the exchange and who benefitted (if someone asks you to keep his mower in his garage, and it gets damaged, THEY bear the greater responsibility; if you ask to borrow it, and it gets damaged, YOU bear the greater responsibility). The OP's guest didn't even KNOW she had someone else's keys, remember? The super's son *thought* he DROPPED someone ELSE's keys in HER vehicle. How on earth would this guest have even known that someone else's keys were in her vehicle (if they *had* been)? She's not responsible; she bears no legal responsibility here. There's no theft involved. You cannot be accused of stealing someone else's stuff when a third party left it in your possession without your knowledge. Even if the woman had seen the keys, heard whose they were, and threw them out rather than be bothered with them, she has not stolen them, and she is not legally required to return them. (true, she'd be a crumb bum, if she tossed them knowing whose they were, but she wouldn't be a thief) She didn't ask for the responsibility, and she didn't benefit from it. Therefore it is NOT her responsibility. Not legally. |

Ditto. Also, unless this is an old folks' home or something, with longstanding restrictions against grandchildren and whatnot, i don't see how they have the right to micromanage your life like this. You can only have a guest 2x/wk, for a total of 3.5 hours per 7 day period [or whatever]? WTF?? It sounds like they're trying to collect 'violations' to allow them to evict you. Why, heaven knows. If I were them I'd be more concerned w/ the fact that their 'doorman' bldg is often wide open for anyone to walk in while the 'doorman' sleeps or canoodles w/ his girlfriend. That;s a lawsuit waiting to happen, as soon as someone gets mugged or burgled. Whatever, since they've decided that you're Enemy #1, maybe you shd start looking for another place. One where the doorman *never* gets his hands on anyone's car keys. |
These responses are all well thought out replies with Legal solutions. The theft thing was crazy because the keys were found at the Dooorman's station, and my friend never had them. That Doorman no longer works here. I am sure the trouble is solely due to the fact that the Doorman is the son of the Super. BUT - here's my problem. While nowhere in the lease does it have any of these rules about guest parking, likewise nowhere in the lease does it say one single word about providing guest parking. So I don't see what Legal basis I have for claiming my guest can park there - other than perhaps to argue that everyone does it, and I have been living here for 3 years under this circumstance. BUT I think they can just come in & say that this is Not a public lot, nor is it a lot for tenants, and they can allow or disallow anyone from parking here since it is their private property. I am not leasing a parking place in the visitor's lot. They are not saying she cannot visit - just that she can't park here. Selective Enforcement is what they are doing because one guy is pissed at me (Not even me, I think, as much as my friend). And the management supports him fully. I don't want to fight. I don't want to sue. I just want to continue to live here peacefully & have my visitors not harassed & subjected to humiliation and embarrassment. Unfortunately, I have looked around, and there really is nothing better in this area (This is not an area known for rentals - they are discouraged in this "toney" NYC suburb). As for Tenant's Rights groups - I've spoken to the one in my county - no interest in this. They do not deal with "luxury" building issues. I think they got me :-( |

Maybe, instead of tenant-rights people, you need a flat-out lawyer. A contract lawyer. Maybe a real estate lawyer. You wrote: "other than perhaps to argue that everyone does it, and I have been living here for 3 years under this circumstance." THAT MAY BE ENOUGH! Oh, and I just wanted to say, I didn't make it clear, in my comments about responsibility, that I did know your friend never had the keys at all, they were found elsewhere, not in her car; those comments were about her responsibility if she HAD had them (which she didn't). One thing you could do, perhaps, is to both write down an account of what happened, and when. Before you forget. And send it to the management--even though it won't help. But you could use it to argue that you are a HELPFUL tenant (helping the doorman search for the keys in the middle of the night), and your guest was so positively disposed toward the complex that she searched her car twice. And you could send it to the crabby neighbor, w/ an intro that says, "I think you have the wrong impression about what happened, and we wanted to be sure you knew the exact sequence of events." Oh, and a libel lawyer might be useful, too. OR...You could also just wait. Maybe in a month, everything will calm down, and life will go back to the way it was. |
I'd tell anyone who visits me to bring an extra car key to drop off with the "doorman" and keep their "everyday" keys. That way if the doorman does his disappearing act, your guest can drive away without being held hostage by the vanishing doorman. They can always retrive their key at a later date. I certainly hope that they aren't leaving their entire set of keys with the doorman. |
All of the reasons behind the landlord's behavior are bogus. But I don't see that it's illegal. You have already realized that your lease does not guarentee guest parking. The guest parking lot is private property. He can deny your friend access to that lot for any reason, or even for *no* reason. He's going thru a lot of trouble to justify himself (insistig that your friend stole someone's keys), but he really doesn't have to go to the trouble. However, as one poster pointed out, he may have exposed himself to a lawsuit for libel by accusing your friend of theft. Did his letter to you include this accusation as one of your "rules violations"? If so, you have this baseless accusation in writing as evidence of libel. As far as the rules he's quoting, go back over your contact one more time. The contract may allow the landlord to amend the Rules at his discretion. Quote: "It excludes all local laws from being applicable to the lease (I am SURE that is not enforceable)." Don't be too sure without getting a lawyer's opinion. (I'm *not* a lawyer.) Many states require that contracts contain a disclaimer along the lines of "this contract is subject to the provisions of the laws of the State Of xxxxx". To me, that says that *state* laws trump anything in your contract, but the same may *not* hold true for "local" laws. I'm not sure, so that would have to be answered by a lawyer. You may be able to google it and find actual court cases that have addressed the question in NY. The reasoning behind this is so that businesses can have one standard contract that works anywhere within a certain state. They don't have to re-write a contract for each local city or county, who's local laws may be vasty different. Again, I could be totally off-base. I'm not a lawyer. I would not waste money on getting a lawyer over the parking issue, it seems too far weighted in the landlord's favor for you to prevail. It is private property. Eviction, however, is a different matter. If the landload starts Eviction, then by all means consult a lawyer and make the landlord follow every single letter of the law regardig evictions in your state. |

Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Keep a copy of anything you send to the landlord for your own records. Try to have a witness for any conversations that are conducted in person. Since the Super has a key to your apartment, you might also want to make sure that any of your "important papers" are locked up. Long ago, I lived in apartments where the landlord or custodian didn't feel like they had to give notice before entering. A locking file cabinet is helpful. It would make me angry that the Doormen are so careless with the keys. What is to stop someone from making an extra copy and letting themselves into your unit later? A link that might be useful: www.landorslum.com |
Dreamgarden, the doorman has car keys NOT apartment keys in this story. Of course I would worry about someone driving off with a car that did not belong to them. They would be legaly liable but who needs that kind of hassle with a long drawn out court case. |

I am so unhappy with this product :(
It is not effective at all. The instructions on the bottle says to use 3 pumps for the entire face. I got a fairly thick mousse and massaged for 30 seconds or so. Looked clean, felt too clean, eek, hate the tight uncomfortable feel. One lippie (lippy?) gone.
I then applied my toner with a cotton pad and discovered that my foundation was more afraid of the toner than the remover. Yuck. Makeup removing session again. Ratings go down again.
I experienced stinging around the nose and cheek area. I think the essential oils in it don't agree with my skin.
A weird thing is there's both instructions on how to use it for removing eye makeup, as well as, a note of caution to avoid using the product on the eye area. Confused? So am I. Personally, I would say not to use it on the eye.Some of the stuff got into my eye when I was rinsing it off. Ouch!! Relaxing, stress relieving product it is not.
Anything good to say? Well, if it had worked, it would have been pretty affordable. Drugstore price, a lot of product...hmm but it didn't.

I really like this product. I;m cautious when it comes to using makeup removers that are oil-based as I had experienced breakouts from products used in the past. This product did not break me out. The mousse turned out to be really convenient. I use it to clean off my face makeup and sunblock and then double cleanse my face with a normal facial wash so I can't really say much about the cleaning power of this. It seems to do a good job of cleaning my foundation off etc. I even tried it on my eyes but the results were not good. I still use it to clean off my mascara and eyeliner when I'm too lazy to use a separate remover. It doesn't clean that well. Overall, I like it and am likely to repurchase.

One of the best make up remover that I've used. It removes make up without leaving your skin feeling dry. I am prone to breakouts but using this does not irritate my skin at all because it's very mild yet does a thorough cleaning.

As a huge fan of oil cleansers, I was drawn to the idea of an oil based mousse to remove makeup. While the concept is great, the product failed to remove makeup and irritated my eyes. I've been trying to use it for about a month but will be throwing out the rest of the bottle because of the irritation and the poor quality.

I really wanted to love this product. When you put it on your face, the next day you could feel your skin is hydrated and soft. But all that doesn't matter because, my skin broke out!! Despite all the rave, I don't think that this product is for me which is really sad. I was super excited to finally get a hand on it and this product let me down.

I wanted to try this makeup remover after reading about it and watching numerous youtube video raves on it, including those from fuzkittie. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to this product and my face and neck broke out in angry, large, red, itchy, burning patches. It feels like I rubbed my face vigorously with sandpaper!
I have pretty sensitive and intolerant skin that gets red easily. This was the only new product I introduced into my routine, I actually used it on two separate days just to confirm that it was the culprit, partly because I really really wanted to love it!
I'm wondering if it's a defective bottle I received? The other products from the Narcissus line that I tried worked fine on me.
Price and packaging were great, but I will not be touching this again with a 10 foot pole.

This is seriously very good. I have tried a lot of makeup removers, mostly Japanese cleansing oil and this is not oily at all. It comes out a fine and dense foam and smells oddly refreshing. It sells in Singapore for sgd$17.90 through their online shop. I will definitely repurchase. Better than lots of the high end brands out there.

This line is some good stuff. Ever since I started using the Diorsnow sunscreen and bb creams I knew I had to use some type of oil cleanser to properly remove everything. My first attempt was the infamous oil cleansing method, which was a total fail. Needless to say I was thrilled when this stuff arrived.
The product comes in a nice purple bottle with a pump dispenser. One of the things I love about Naruko products is that the boxes can be cut up & folded into neato little containers. Less waste and you get a pencil case! Naruko is also cruelty-free and all in all pretty natural stuff. The foam is light and fluffy with a fresh herbal/floral scent. It absolutely takes off all my skin care and makeup. I don't get a weird squeaky feeling and my skin doesn't dry out. It even removes eye makeup pretty well.
As far as cost goes, it varies a bit because it's a Taiwanese import. You'll end up paying anywhere between $8-20. Even at $20 I consider this a total deal. If you hated the OCM like I did, this baby is worth its weight in gold. I seriously have about 4 backups under my sink. I think it would work for all skin types and I can't recommend it enough!
