Ellen-Marie Ray, March 23, 1949 – September 25, 2001
23 MarShe would have laughed too. Probably still is. She had a sick sense of humor. One of her favorite movies was Harold and Maude.
Searching through a box of old correspondence, I was blown away by the number of cards and letters we exchanged, especially during the 70s and 80s, before there was such a thing as email. I've got a pile of letters filled with commentary on men, movies and more. Most of the letters are not appropriate for reprint. For one thing, it requires a well-trained eye and years of practice to decipher her handwriting. Secondly, much of the content would have to be redacted to protect the innocent and the guilty.
Ellen-Marie would be 62 today. To celebrate she would likely have yellow cake with chocolate frosting. She would be proud of every candle. She'd take her daughter and son Kamaya and Jeremy, out for Brazilian food. She might listen to Smokey Robinson or watch ET or Jeopardy! or Law and Order. On the weekend, she would look for a dance party. She would be surrounded by friends from every walk of life.
She was a super mom, a dedicated attorney and my best friend.
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. marries an actress
15 MarOn this day in 1933, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., the assistant minister of Abyssinian Baptist Church (The church where my ex and I married, by the way) wedded a "showgirl" named Isabel Washington.
According to my former Boston Globe colleague and Powell biographer Wil Haygood, the relationship caused a stir. "The older deacons recoiled, as did his father. Showgirls stayed out late, danced with gangsters, drank gin. Adam Junior knew better. There were veiled threats that his father would not give him money."
In my dad's "Xcuse Me" column published three days after the wedding, you have to get to the penultimate paragraph before he even mentions the names "Adam" and "Is," but it is clear before then who the column is about.
By the way, in Roman mythology, Jupiter Pluvius was the rain-giver who ended droughts.
I didn't have any luck finding a photograph of the wedding, but I did find this photo from Powell's swearing in to the New York City Council in 1942. That was in nine years after the wedding. From the look on his mother's face, she still had not gotten over it. :)
A King's reach: My father's take on the Royals
26 FebWhen I suggested to my daughter, Zuri, that she would love the Oscar winning The King's Speech and that it would be great for her to see it in London, where she is studying abroad, she revealed that her drama professors were not so keen on it. "They see it as propaganda for the monarchy."
There is also a lot of buzz in the American and international press about the accuracy or inaccuracy of the film. Bertie's stutter was not really that bad, Winston Churchill was not really that fat and he was not so forcefully opposed to King Edward VIII's relationship with a twice-married Wallis Simpson. More seriously, some argue that throughout the late 1930s the royal family and much of the British establishment favored appeasement of Hitler's regime.
My father was a bit of a gusher when it came to the Royals.
"A King Dies," Ebenezer proclaimed in a column on Feb. 1, 1936. The far-flung British Empire, with its approximately 500,000,000 inhabitants of all colors mourns today! George the Fifth, its 'Sailor King' is dead! He passed away in his 71st year of life and in the 26th year of his reign. From far-off New Zealand and Australia to the Dominion of Canada, from India to the remote Falkland Islands and the West Indies, flags are at half-mast; bells have tolled, theatres closed, night clubs darkened — business had come to a standstill, all in reverence to a departed monarch, loved by his people, and of whose greatness historian will testify."
But in true fashion, Ebenezer brought the king's death back home to America.
"The passing of the British monarch had its repercussion here in the House of Representatives when Speaker Byrns [Joseph W. Byrns, D-Tenn] put forward a resolution that the body adjourn out of respect to the dead king. Representative [Martin] Sweeney of Ohio was the dissenting voice. His objection was based on the grounds that his kin lost their lives during the time of the Blacks and Tans (Britain opposing the independence of the Irish Free State) and according to the New York Times Washington correspondent, Mr. Sweeney 'is unwilling for the legislature of a democracy to honor the memory of a king in whose names the bullets went winging' Speaker Byrns ignored Mr. Sweeney. Negroes might sympathize with Mr. Sweeney in the loss of his kin, but it is natural that they at the same time reflect on the atrocities which are committed under America's 'democracy" In the first place we have hundreds of lynchings which have taken place in the direction from which Mr. Sweeney hails and against which Congress up to its last session refused to enact legislation. Many a Negro has lost his innocent kin by these barbarous methods. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the constitution as they apply to Negroes are openly violated in the South. Under the shadow of the Capitol's dome, Negroes have been denied use of the House Restaurant and even in the North Negroes are systematically and occasionally discriminated against in government and private institutions. Lastly, we come to the persecution of the nine Scottsboro lads. Within the columns of the issue of the New York Times which voices Mr. Sweeney's objection we read that the trial was being conducted for the fourth time amidst the most prejudiced atmosphere perhaps known to any court in a civilized country."
As for the brief reign of Edward VIII and the Wallis Simpson scandal, my father initially had high hopes for the young king whom he described as a "super-salesman, athlete, flier, sportsman and one of the most socially beloved princes, whose magnetic personality was already evident. "
But upon Edward's abdication, he was less charitable. "I still think Edward strayed somewhat from the 'manor born.'" he wrote in a later column. He was born heir-apparent to a throne when the world respected it. He could easily have lived closer to its shadow. Love intoxicates a man; marriage sobers him up, someone once said. And what if the inevitable hand of retribution moves to arouse Eddie from his intoxication, brought on by Wallis Simpson's potion of third-rate 'love!'"
My father was wrong about that love affair. Edward and Wallis stayed together until Edward, who became the Duke of Windsor after his abdication, died of cancer in 1972.
The legacy of Mary Ray
26 FebLast Monday, when I found myself having trouble getting out of bed, I just assumed it was the winter pall, or maybe the martinis I had consumed over the President's Day weekend. But as much as I was inclined to, as Jamie Foxx sings, "blame it on the alcohol," (By the way, did anyone see the Glee take on that song last week?) It was something more profound.
On Thursday, while I was visiting the local Family History Center searching for more pieces of the Ray family puzzle, I came upon my mother's death record. Yep. Feb. 21, 2002. Nine years ago last Monday.
I thought about waiting until next year to pay tribute. It will be the 10th anniversary of her death, a milestone of sorts. But the future is not promised, as we all know, so I'm going to do it now. After all, there is no end to the gifts my mother poured into me. I'm sure I'll have plenty to say next year.
I dug out an article I wrote for Essence in 1986 titled "How to get out of that rut and make life an adventure." I used my mother as an example of someone who did that every day.
"My mother has always had a positive, energetic spirit and a sense of adventure unmatched in anyone else I've ever known," I wrote in that Essence article. "A firm believer in going for the gusto, she ran track without the benefit of Wilma Rudolph as a role model. She was the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree. And while many of her peers were settling down with their own families, she was relocating to a strange city to take a new job. When she did marry and had my sisters and me, her world and her adventurous spirit simply grew. 'There is no excuse for boredom,' she'd say as she dragged us (and any other neighborhood child who happened to be within her reach) to dance classes, music lessons, museums, concerts, libraries and amusement parks — all on public transportation. And as my sisters and I came of age and began moving around to new jobs, new cities, new countries and new adventures, she was always there with her motherly caution, 'Please be careful,' and 'Get some rest,' — all the while saying 'Go head, girl!'"
And I know she's saying it now: To her daughter Malaya, who is still dancing, teaching and storytelling with a passion; To her granddaughter, M'Balia, who is about to get her degree all while working full time and raising three children and getting them through school and college. She'd say it to my daughter, Zuri, who is getting her acting on in London and will be an intern at the Cannes Film Festival in May. She'd say it to her granddaughter Kamaya, who has taken her big brother Jeremy, under her wing as he has determined to turn his life around. And, of course, she would say "well done" to her famous nephew Lamman, not just for his accomplishments as an actor, but for being a man with such a good, good heart.
My mom died on February 21, 2002 at 82. The weekend before, she had attended an AKA luncheon and the symphony. She was so active that when her friends didn't hear from her in one 36-hour period, they knew something was up. They found her sitting in a comfy chair with her feet up, a cup of tea within reach.
She lived life fully to the end. That's the best legacy she could leave.
The black press: A beacon of light in the racial darkness
6 FebIf you plan to be in Pittsburgh between Feb. 11 and Oct. 2, check out "America's Best Weekly: A Century of the Pittsburgh Courier," which will be on exhibit at the Heinz History Center. The Courier, where my father worked when I was a young girl in Pittsburgh, is celebrating 100 years of service to the black community. In its heyday, the Courier had 400 employees and its readership spanned the country. The Courier was a strong voice against segregation and particularly lynching. Pullman porters were enlisted to surreptitiously "drop" the papers along their Southern train routes.
"These papers were not welcomed in those states and oftentimes were confiscated and destroyed to keep African-Americans from reading newspapers," Samuel Black, the exhibit's curator, said in a recent interview with CBS Pittsburgh.
Robert Lavelle, an old family friend, who as a young man was responsible for coming up with those delivery routes, was interviewed for The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, a film by award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson. Lavelle said that even though Pittsburgh was a relatively small city, the Courier had a name well beyond its borders "because it had tried to reach out to black people, no matter where they were, and we would try to send papers to those people. And as the people in those places became more numerous in terms of circulation, then those people would get a column in the Courier and maybe even on the front page of the Courier, and pretty soon that place had an edition of the Courier. So the Courier developed 13 editions and we would send papers to these various, regional places like the Midwest edition, the New England edition, the Chicago edition, the Philadelphia edition, and the Southern edition . . . We'd send them down by seaboard airline, Atlantic coastline railroad, down through Florida and all those places."
On a personal note, my cousin Russell Williams recalls a visit his family made to Pittsburgh:
"Back in 1958, as my father finished his Ph.D. at Michigan State, we traveled back to South Carolina (where he taught at SC State), and we stopped in Pittsburgh to see Ebenezer and Mary Ray and their three daughters (Mary was my father's favorite cousin). I remember Ebenezer taking us to the Pittsburgh Courier offices to show us how a newspaper was produced, and I carried home with me a souvenir (a piece of type) from that trip — a very interesting keepsake to my just-turned-seven-years-old
mind. Years later, I came to understand the important role that the Courier played nationally, and was very proud that I had a relative who had contributed to that impact."
As I was four years old at the time and have no recollection of that visit, I was moved by Russell's story.
Well before my father moved to Pittsburgh and joined the Courier, he tipped his hat to the Negro press as well. In 1935, the New York Age celebrated its 50th anniversary.
"For fifty years, The Age has lived; for fifty years it has been an articulate voice of the Negro race; for fifty years it has weathered economic storms; for that period it has outlived its own shortcomings, and the shortcomings of the people it set out to serve," Ebenezer wrote in a column published Nov. 2, 1935. "On the threshold of its new era, it is natural that it pauses to look back on its past on the path it has tread, a path strewn with pitfalls, a path decorated with the glory of achievement; a path nonetheless dotted with journalistic wrecks. Much of the paper's success must be measured in the friends it has made; much of its power can be measured in the enemies it has made. No man can get very far without creating a few enemies here and there. The man whom everyone loves is insincere. The Age's supporters flaunt its greatness; to many it is a beacon [of] light in this — their world of racial darkness."

[3] On May 17th, 2014, The Blood of Olympus sneak preview leaked early three days earlier than scheduled. [4] In the chapter preview, Jason Grace is shown to have a POV. On June 30, 2014, Rick Riordan stated on twitter that Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano would have a POV. [5] On August 19th, 2014 the official chapter preview was released through Disney Hyperion. Disney Hyperion sent "Swag" boxes full of Heroes of Olympus goodies to famous youtubers and included a clue about the Seven, plus Nico and Reyna, on whether they will survive the final battle.
Though the Greek and Roman crew-members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over. [6]
Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Annabeth Chase infiltrate Odysseus' Palace in Ithaca using Hazel Levesque's magic, where a gathering of evil spirits or suitors is occurring. Jason, disguised as an old beggar man named Iros, is called out by Antinous who questions why Iros is there. Jason covers himself by stating that he is still running messages for the suitors and attempts to get more information out of Antinous. Eurymachus, a ghost, accidentally gives away information about how Gaea is stopping the demigods from getting to Acropolis. Eurymachus is stopped short by Antinous and is destroyed. Antinous tells Jason that Apollo no longer has control of Delphi and that Victory is running rampant, so there is no way the demigods will win. Michael Varus, the previous Praetor of Camp Jupiter who lost the Twelfth Legion's eagle in Alaska goes up to Jason and tells him that he cannot leave since someone has come to see Jason. Jason's mother, Beryl Grace, appears to him as a ghost.
Beryl attempts to convince that Jupiter made her leave Jason at the Wolf House and that she had no choice. Beryl unsuccessfully tries to get Jason to fight for Gaea, who let her out from the Underworld, and then disappears as a spirit of insanity or mania. Since the disguise around Jason is broken, all the monsters/ghosts attack. As the fight goes on, Jason is stabbed by Michael with an Imperial Gold gladius below his ribcage. Piper rushes over, defeats the ghost of Michael and tends to Jason's wounds. Annabeth runs to signal Leo Valdez on the Argo II and asks Frank Zhang to fly down and collect Jason. Suddenly, a crack appears in the stone and Juno appears to tell the heroes that they need to find goddess of victory in Olympia because she is out of control and then find the twins, Artemis and Apollo who are in hiding from Jupiter. As Juno disappears before her husband Jupiter finds her, Jason faints.
Meanwhile, Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, Nico di Angelo, and Gleeson Hedge are falling from the sky with the Athena Parthenos above the volcano, Mount Vesuvius after shadow traveling. Nico is too exhausted to shadow travel again, so Reyna helps by lending him her strength, which is a power of children of Bellona. They shadow travel one more time to Pompeii, where they lay camp for the night since Nico is unable to travel anymore. Coach Hedge takes first watch as Nico and Reyna go to sleep.
Reyna dreams of a giant following them. Then her dreams take her to where Octavian is with the legion outside of Camp Half-Blood. Octavian personally takes on the highest tile, Pontifex Maximus, which no demigod has ever done. His fellow centurion, Mike Kahale, and the legion's eagle bearer Jacob are beside him, listening to Octavian reinstate Bryce Lawrence, a legacy of Orcus, who was banished from the camp for killing a centurion and other horrific crimes. Octavian has added two dozen different murders, thieves, and traitors into the legion since Reyna has been gone, which makes Mike upset. Mike disagrees with Octavian attacking Camp Half-Blood against Reyna's orders, but Octavian is convinced that once the Greeks are eliminated the war will be over and that he will be remembered as the savior of the Romans. Mike questions if Octavian's gift of prophecy has returned, to which Octavian defensively retaliates against.
Coach Hedge wakes up Reyna since tourists have come to visit the frozen citizens of Pompeii, but luckily the mist surrounding the Athena Parthenos is strong and wards off the tourists. By sunset, Nico wakes up and Reyna tells him about her dreams. Nico believes the dream is about a giant and to avoid it at all costs, but Coach and Reyna believe that fighting will be the best option. Nico considers asking the Hunters of Artemis', Thalia Grace, for advice, but is weary to do so. Reyna decides that she will contact the Amazons for help as well, but decides to work out the details until the next jump. Then Gaea's voice is spoken from Coach Hedge's body and multiple earthen ghosts attack.As they attack, Reyna tells Nico to get Diocletian's Scepter, so that she can command the dead legionnaires since she is a praetor. Reyna controls the dead legionnaires, but they are still out numbered. Nico, finally strapped in to carry the Athena Parthenos, shadow travels.
Back on the Argo II, Leo is working on a secret project, but is interrupted when Piper tells him that there is a meeting in the mess hall. Leo joins the others, along with Buford, the table. The seven discuss going towards Olympia, meeting Nike, and which demigods should go and meet the goddess. They decide that Frank, Hazel, Percy Jackson, and Piper should go since they are the least competitive group that will not try to outdo each other.
The four leave to go scout the area. Percy and Leo search a museum, while Frank and Hazel are looking at ruins. While waiting for Frank and Hazel to return, Leo feels uncomfortable around Percy since he got back from Tartarus and due to Calypso's old feelings for Percy. Before they could discuss it, Frank and Hazel get back accompanied by Arion who had appeared out of nowhere. The group head towards the ruins which are roughly five kilometers wide. They decide to walk through the ruins looking for something to pop up. Eventually, they head toward the Temple of Zeus where an old Nike statue used to stand. Leo and Percy provoke the goddess to come forth by challenging that Adidas shoes are better than Nike shoes.
The goddess' Roman and Greek side, Nike and Victoria, are at war with each other trying to decide which side will be victorious. The goddess challenges the the four to a fight to the death, with the Romans and Greeks against each other. Nike demands for them to fight in an arena and gives them four minutes to be present. To make sure that they get there she sends four metal statues after them. Once there, the group comes up with a plan to get out of killing each other. They decide that Hazel needs to use her power to control the underground tunnels and the power of the Archimedes' sphere if they should have any chance of defeating the goddess. After successfully tricking the goddess, they tie Nike up and she starts shouting about how they will never get the Physician's Cure after they question her about which one of the seven will die. Frank then puts a sock in her mouth and duct tape over her and they take her with them on the Argo II.
After shadow traveling, Nico is knocked unconscious and starts to dream of painful memories. As he's searching for Thalia's dreams, he ends up meeting Clovis, the head counselor of the Hypnos cabin, due to the Hypnos cabin's powerful dream activity. Nico tells Clovis to tell Chiron that they are bringing the Athena Parthenos and that he need helps tracking down Thalia. Clovis shows Nico the war meeting they had at the Big House. Clarisse La Rue is telling the campers about the defenses that they have and blames Rachel Elizabeth Dare of not being able to warn them of the giant army outside of Camp Half-Blood. Rachel defends herself by stating that Apollo's gift of prophecy is currently out of commission and Will Solace, counselor of the Apollo cabin, agrees. Ella has been too scared to mention anything about prophecies since the Romans surrounded. Clarisse demands that they attack the Roman base, which Jake Mason states is better defended than their own home. Connor Stoll convinces Clarisse to wait until Reyna delivers the Athena Parthenos like Annabeth stated. Then Nico is suddenly woken up by Coach Hedge.
After the shadow travel, the Athena Parthenos is laying sideways on the column of the Temple of Diana. Nico learns that he overshot and shadow traveled to Évora, Portugal instead of Spain and that he's been unconscious for almost 36 hours. A spirit has been wandering around the trio and wants to talk to Nico. The spirit takes Nico to chapel, where Hades awaits. Hades tells Nico the hunter Gaea is employing is Orion. Orion already has the scent of the trio and will not stop hunting them until they are captured. Hades tells Nico that Hazel knows one of the Seven will die and that wolves are currently chasing after them as well. Nico quickly goes back to where the trio have set up camp and tells them about being chased by wolves. Then suddenly Reyna's dogs are startled because wolves surround them along with Lycaon. They engage in battle and eventually manage to shadow travel away, without a clear direction of where they are going.
Meanwhile, Frank and Piper are on port of Pylos looking for the poison and failing. They make their way down to Nestor's Cave after Piper charmspeaks a ghost into giving them direction. Frank goes in and talks to a man who hands him a bottle. Frank explains that his cousins, other descendants of Periclymenus, have been living there for generations. As a parting gift, the cousins gave Frank the small vile of poison. Frank has an idea of how to find a chained god in Sparta, but won't discuss it until the others are back on the Argo II. Once on the ship, Frank states that the the chained god is Ares because the Spartans believed that if they chained him up the spirt of war would never leave them. Piper unsheathes her dagger after telling them of seeing visions of Annabeth and her exploring ruins. Percy tells Leo that they should be airborne since a sea serpent is checking out the ship.

I'm selling a Road Armor Stealth Base with Full Guard Front Bumper for a 2005+. This obviously fits on a Toyota Tacoma but was a pre-production bumper that doesn't fit perfectly. This is why the price is much cheaper than a new one. It's been on my truck for just under a year now. Driving lights are not included. It is designed for a WARN 12k winch.
First person to bring me cash will get this bumper.

Review: Dawn Simulator
The basic idea behind the Lumie Bodyclock is that it combines a timer, a dimmer switch and a Neodymium light-bulb; it can thus simulate a summer sunrise on the coldest darkest winter mornings, thereby giving a more gentle and holistic wakeup than that which is afforded by a shrieking buzzer in the dark. We've had one for about 12 months so we thought we'd give it the once over. Continue reading Review: Dawn Simulator

Lynn Breeze: My First Website
I'm delighted to welcome my Auntie Lynn to the WWW today. For a very long time now I've been suggesting that Lynn and the World Wide Web would be a very good match.

Lynn's new website, which has been mostly set up by my cousin Jo, is hopefully the start of a long and worthwhile venture. Continue reading Lynn Breeze: My First Website

My son has been at EBT for two years (Kindergarten and now 1st grade) and we love it! The education is great the expectations for the students are high which I appreciate and they hold a lot of fun educational activities (field day walk safe career day holiday family dances after school PTA hosts family dinners at places like Applebee's to raise funds for various reasons etc.). EBT doesn't just focus on testing. They also offer extra curricular activities after school and my son truly enjoys them. EBT is a wonderful school!

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Having looked through the other reviews it seems our stay may well have been the exception rather than the rule but this is definitely not somewhere I would stay again.
The main member of staff who seemed to be running the place was very helpful and efficient but was let down by one of the male assistants who openly stared at both my girlfriend and I in a frankly menacing manner without speaking a word or even acknowledging us in any other way. At one point I became so uncomfortable with this I turned away and he moved back in front of me to continue staring. I can only describe this as creepy.
The room was small and the bathroom had not been cleaned leaving the detritus of the previous guests in the shower. The room wasn't cleaned during our stay meaning the bathroom bin wasn't emptied at all. There was no desk in the room as stated.
The views and location were good and the bedding was clean and as others have said we arrived on a late flight and were promptly let in and shown to our rooms.
All in all you can stay in better places in Quito for the price.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
My stay at the Hostal Marsella simply could not have been better. I came in near midnight on a late flight and the owner graciously waited up for me and got me settled. My room and the hostel in general were immaculately clean. The room was spacious, stylish, and had an amazing view of the mountains. I was surprised at how tasty and affordable the breakfast service was, with a yummy yogurt and granola bowl with fresh fruit, bread and marmalade, scrambled eggs, super tasty coffee and juice for only $2 or 3.
The owner and all the employees were always available to try to understand my broken Spanish and answer all my questions about transportation, site-seeing, safety and tracking down my delayed baggage.
One of the employees must open the front door for anyone who enters or leaves, which was a little much sometimes, but they were always around to do so and it made me feel really safe.
The absolute best part of this hostel is the roof, with two hammocks, flowers, and gorgeous views.
Will definitely be back to stay again!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Nice family owned place. Staff helped out in anything and even more. There is not really anything negative to say about the place.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very friendly and helpful owners. The place was very clean and very quiet. Breakfast nto included, but I had a very big breakfast for only 3 dollars.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We stayed there for all together 8 nights in a double room with bathroom. The rooms are simple but always clean and tidy. The Hostel has a 24 hours closing service meaning the outside door is always locked unless you ring the bell and one of the members of staff opens it for you. This makes one feel quite secure. The staff is always friendly and especially the boss is really helpful. He asked us about our plans and tried to help with suggestions and always talked us through the difficult bus-system in and around Quito whenever we wanted to go somewhere. It is helpful if you can speak at least a few words of Spanisch but even with English you can try to communicate. We came at random times during the day during our 4 weeks stay in Ecuador to the Hostel asking for a room and even without a reservation they always had a room or just prepared one answering to our needs. Especially nice was that the Hostel has a locked room where we could leave stuff for a couple of days which we didn't need on our journey and knew that it was secure there. The area around the Hostel is quite nice you can easily walk into the old and new parts of the town and very close is a park where it is really nice to stay during the day. It is also not as loud as it would be like when staying in a Hostel in the Mariscal. The breakfast is good as well with fresh fruit juice, bread, eggs, tea/ coffee and if you like a great fruit salad. If I would stay in Quito again I would go back to that Hostel.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very nice stay at Hostal Marsella. The people are extremely friendly and hard-working. It's the cleanest hostal I've been to in Ecuador. It's good to speak some Spanish before getting here. They are also very helpful, giving information about other cities, transportation systems, bus terminals, and other bits of general advice.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very good hostal to stay in Quito for a good price!
Very central and ideal to get to old and new town and also to the main bus lines. Very friendly and helpful staff (!), although its an advantage if you speak espanol. Good breakfast is available and also beer and other drinks in the house.
Good price performance ratio.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Perfectly enough for the price. Clean and wonderful attention. Near than the most important places (not to much, but ok)
The directions we received to visit the important places was great.
My only observation is the mattress. It was extremely hard. I woke up with a backache.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
First off, I´m a 51 year old male, who took spanish in junior high school. Ecuador is a Spanish only kinda country. If it hadn´t been for the proprietors at this Hostel, I would have have a most difficult time. Also I arrived with a disaster in hand. I had left my wallet in the taxi (I don´t want to talk about it!)
Estuardo, the proprietor, was there to assist me from the beginning. I can´t tell you how much he helped me, not only with my cash issue, my intreped spanish, etc, but also made me feel as comfortable as if I was staying at family´s house.
I had made reservations for a single / shared bath, but I was placed into a large room with two beds which I was the only occupant. My bed had a window that was to the left of my head, so I fell asleep at night gazing at the southern sky and breezes through the window.
Estuardo went overboard to help ensure I had proper directions to anywhere I needed to go, he and his staff always gave 110%, which made my stay a wonderful and welcoming experience. All this for $6.00 a day.
I ate breakfast at the hostel every morning, which I selected a fruit bowl, coffee, toast ($2.00) and they soon learned to have a Pilsener Brewskie when I arrived back in the evening.
I can´t say enough about how gracious the owners and their help are. It makes the difference between a Great Stay and a Mediocre Stay.
I highly recommend this Hostel. It´s in a great location with transit facilities very close. You can easily get to wherever you wish very easy, especially with Estuardo there to give you guidence.
Again, I rate this place 110% given the "Beyond the Call of Duty" philosophy with which they run their business.
Robert Alexander
San Diego, CA
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
This hostal is a perfect location for the price ($10). I picked this hostal because I wanted to be walking distance from the churches/plazas. On arrival, I was warmly greeted with a map and directions on where to catch buses or taxis. There were also people to help carry my luggage to and from my room. Only spanish speaking in this hostal - although there is a lady who speaks a little english.
I stayed in a one bedroom with private bathroom. There wasn't toilet paper, towels, or soap in the room however I later found out that I was suppose to ask for them (thank god I had my own!). I found the room very clean and safe. It was equipped with a tv as well - only spanish speaking stations.
They charge you at the end - even if you ate breakfast/lunch/dinner during your stay. I thought the lunch was a little pricey compared to other places to eat outside ($3.50). Breakfast is either $2 or $3. After walking around town, I found cheaper prices for breakfast. If I had to do it again, I'd probably walk somewhere for the food to pay less.
All and all, I think what made this a pleasant stay is that the people running the place are really nice and helpful, there were clean rooms, and it was walking distance from the Basilica and other touristy stuff.
Also, if I had to do this again, I'd probably book through calling because there was a booking fee ($2) when I did the reservations online.

KP closes fat IPL deal
Comment on this storyMumbai – England may have jettisoned Kevin Pietersen but the maverick batsman's hard-hitting ability fetched him the highest bid among foreign players at Wednesday's Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.
Pietersen, available for the entire duration of the cash-rich IPL after being shunned by England, was picked up by Delhi, the franchise he played for last year, for 90 million Indian rupees ($1.45 million) after an intense bidding war.
The Chennai, Hyderabad and Punjab franchises bid heavily for the 33-year-old, whose base price was 20 million Indian rupees ($321,200), but Delhi bagged his services after using their right to match the highest bid.
"Morning – so happy to be back with the Delhi family! Lovely start to the day," Pietersen, the former England captain, said on his Twitter account.
India's Yuvraj Singh drew the highest bid of 140 million Indian rupees ($2.25 million) in the morning session of the auction and was bought by the Vijay Mallya-owned Bangalore franchise. – Reuters

Located in Orange County, Calif., Laguna Niguel is an attractive and affluent community located directly south of Laguna Beach along the Pacific Ocean. One-third of the city's land is designated open space, making this hillside community both breathtakingly beautiful and highly desirable. Its name comes from the Spanish word "laguna," meaning lagoon, and "Nigueli," the name of a former Janeno Indian village located nearby. Home to nearly 63,000 proud residents, Laguna Niguel offers SoCal living at its best.
During the 19th century, rancheros were established throughout Southern California, including Rancho Niguel. This formerly active sheep ranch eventually became part of the Moulton Company, which controlled 19,000 acres of local land. In 1959, the Laguna Niguel Corporation was established. The Laguna Niguel Corporation set out to plan one of the first master-planned communities in California. In 1989, the community's residents voted to incorporate as a separate city. Laguna Niguel then became the 29th city in Orange County.
Those searching for Laguna Niguel apartments for rent will love the area's natural beauty, master-planned amenities and access to the Southern California beachfront.
Laguna Niguel is a safe and family-oriented community. The city's uses are generally sharply divided, as 3,559 acres of space are set aside for residential use, 276 acres for commercial space, 3,650 acres of parks and open places, and just 223 acres of mixed-use space. Laguna Niguel's spaces are well-maintained and lovely to enjoy, and residents take pride in their civic and residential surroundings.
The city of Laguna Niguel analyzed its residents by Tapestry Segmentation, a process that categorizes residents into groups based on their income levels, interests, careers, family situations and attitudes. Tapestry Segmentation suggested that 27 percent of the population classified as "Connoisseurs," a group which consisted of a median age of 47 years, are generally married and have an affluent lifestyle. After Connoisseurs, the top tapestry segments in the town were Urban Chic, Suburban Splendor, Enterprising Professionals and Top Rung. This upscale community is known for its corresponding high quality of life and many civic amenities.
Although Laguna Niguel is not home to any major college or university, numerous institutes of higher learning are located within commutable distance of the city. Saddleback College, Brandman University, Concordia University, Irvine Valley College, University of California, Irvine and Orange Coast College are all located within 15 miles of Laguna Niguel.
Because it is largely a residential community, Laguna Niguel sees its population decrease by about 26 percent on workdays due to commuting. However, there are numerous opportunities for employment within the city, mainly in retail and service industries. According to the city's 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top employers in Laguna Niguel are Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, Interface Associates, First Team Real Estate, Miguel's Auto Broker, Calstar Properties, Kohl's, Pacific Line Clean-Up and Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel.
Those searching for Laguna Niguel apartments should be aware that the cost of living index in the city is 126.4, which is 26.4 percent higher than the U.S. average. Although finding a rental may be challenging with a 28 percent renter-occupancy rate, it should not be impossible. However, because most residents living in the area have commutes to other cities, renters should factor commuting costs into their monthly budgets. The median gross rent in the city is $1,737 per month.
Laguna Niguel's 18-acre botanical garden, located within Crown Valley Community Park, showcases hundreds of plants from similar climates around the world. The garden was created in 1981 and originally served the purpose of a community vegetable garden. In 1984, it was incorporated as a nonprofit. Walking trails connect regionally themed exhibits of Australian, African, South American, Mediterranean and native species. Residents take pride in the garden's past, present and future.

The company I work at had a similar problem with the personal Solaris boxes. Apperently the hard disks had some bad berrings and the company was to cheap to replace them all. This ment that if for some reason the machine was powered off, about 40% of the time, it would refuse to boot. When you called the Help Desk you were told to:
1) Lift the front right side of the case 3 inches above the desk.
2) Drop
This almost always fixed it on the first try. I myself never had it fail to work.

I'm not usually one to make New Year's Resolutions (because I inevitably break them), but while out of town (and mostly disconnected from the Internet), I did make an April Fool's Day resolution: to spend at least one day a week offline.
As it turns out, I chose the right holiday to make that one.
I've since spent not a single day offline, but, as I used to say back when I made New Year's resolutions, it's early yet. And I'm still thinking I'll give it a try. I discovered last week that there's a lot of peace in not being available by email at every moment, in not having access to the news of the world at every moment. And, as a writer, all that offline time paid off: One day, while staring mindlessly out at the ocean, I got a new story idea. Now that I'm back home and back to work, of course, I need the time to write it, which means staying offline as much as possible.
I was glad to come across this post in Rough Type, about a cartoonist who's attempting a four-month trial separation from the Internet, noting that "Disconnection is the new counterculture." When I see someone attempting four months offline, I think that surely I can handle one day a week.
But I'd also come across this LA Times blog about the writer Edan Lepucki going off Twitter and Facebook for three months (which also sounds very liberating), but the post notes that someone like this — "a talented writer who is making her way in the literary world, going to residencies and teaching … hoping to publish her first book soon" — is "exactly the kind of person who should be active in online communities."
So it seems that emerging writers need to strike some sort of balance — and that's the tricky part. As the LAT blog notes, "On the one hand, a writer should walk away from anything that keeps them from writing … On the other hand, I wonder whether it's particularly vital for new writers to stay connected online."
For me, a one-day vacation from the Internet sounds like a good start. Maybe I'll even get up to two or three. Meanwhile, I'll keep you posted (during one of my online days only, of course).
UPDATE: So, I did it. I stayed offline for one entire day. (Sort of.) I declared Offline Day an official Day of Writing, and I did cheat a little in that I hopped online a couple of times, to use an online thesaurus and to do a teeny bit of research. And then the Internet connection went out in our entire neighborhood, which means I had no Internet access for much of the day, even if I'd wanted it (does that count, if no willpower is involved?). But the lesson was a good one: It was nice to be unplugged, and I got tons of work done. And I'm already looking forward to this week's Offline Day.

Tips For Fast Weight Loss
The Best Diet For Weight Loss
The big irony is that most of the diet programs that claim to help you get rid of excess weight, only end up making it harder for you in the long run because they use harsh metabolism-decreasing diets and not enough exercise (almost never any weight training).
How To Lose Fat Weight Loss
Research now uncovers that chili peppers can be a dieter s completely new buddy in the war in opposition to excess fat. Chili peppers are usually recognized for their poignant, spicy flavoring that adds zest to cuisine. In the past, numerous health experts, dieticians along with losing weight specialists claimed that spicy dishes enable reduce fat.
Protein Diet Foods Weight Loss
Metronidazole (Flagyl, Metrogyl, Unimezol)
* run the risk that some water retained in the equipment from another patient s previous use may be injected back into your colon. If you are so inclined, periodic colonics are not a bad thing. They can definitely improve your health and sense of well being. Regular colonics, on the other hand, may be too much of a good thing.
Costs. Very few medical procedures are affordable, but you may be shocked with the cost of LapBand surgery. On average, the procedure costs $15,000 to $20,000 in the United States. If you are covered by medical insurance, contact your provider. Some insurance providers cover the cost of bariatric surgery. If not, save money by cutting expenses, look for an affordable surgeon, and inquire about payment plans.

To promote the new Paco Rabanne Black XS l'Exces fragrance, the fashion design label has released a very interesting—and a bit bizarre—commercial featuring rock icon Iggy Pop and models Sasha Pivovarova and Nick Rae.
All about glitz, glamour and excess, the Paco Rabanne Black XS l'Exces commercial, directed by Jonas Akerlund, features a glam, 70s-rock vibe and a wild, frenzied pace that will make your head whirl. It showcases the two models as excess-loving "rockstars" who do everything from licking a bedazzled skull to lying intertwined on a ground covered in dollar bills. Iggy Pop himself is no less "excessive" as he wraps himself up in the American flag toward the end of the commercial.

Saturn Vue Replacement Steering Rack Information
Saturn is among the premier designers of economy vehicles that are inexpensive to operate and green. You bought a high-performance car or truck to enjoy its high-end power and performance, support that investment and use the best new parts. It doesn't matter if you race your car or just appreciate driving a performance vehicle, the highest quality auto parts are critical. Problems with steering, noise, unusual tire wear or fluid leaks are signs that the Saturn Vue Steering Rack may need to be replaced. The Steering Rack joins a rod to the pinion in the car or truck's rack-and-pinion system. Your car's Steering Rack works along with a pinion to help power a car's rack-and-pinion steering. A Steering Rack is important in transferring the steering wheel movement into a force that spins the tires. With a rack and pinion system, the Steering Rack provides the linear movement needed to turn the car. Purchasing a Saturn is a smart choice, and keeping it in showroom condition is a great choice. Vehicle trouble can be stressful, but a site like PartsGeek.com will have you back on the road--and worry free--in no time.
They are available for the following Saturn Vue years: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02. This part is also sometimes called Saturn Vue Steering Racks. We stock steering rack parts for most Saturn models including Aura, Ion, SL, Outlook, SL1, L300, L200, SL2, SC2, LS2, SC1, Sky, LS1, LW200, SW2, L100, LW300, LS, SW1, LW2, LW1 and SC.
We stock these Steering Rack brands for the Saturn Vue: A1 Cardone.

Hobby. And I intend to keep it that way. Best way to ruin a good hobby is to turn it into a job IMO. I would however work for a brewery, just not as a brewer.
Life begins at 60....1.060, that is!www.dennybrew.comhttp://www.experimentalbrew.com - the website for the book "Experimental Homebrewing"...coming Nov. 2014
I still consider going pro from time to time. The trouble I have, though, is that the only way I see it actually working out is to go the brewpub route and I don't have much of an interest in running the restaurant side of the house. If I can find an experience restauranteur who wouldn't mind teaming with an inexperienced brewhouse owner/operator, I'd be all for it, but that's a pretty tall order.
I started working at a LHBS back in July. So "brewing" isn't my job technically. I love working there. Being around people with similar interests all day is awesome. With wine season in full swing and working at the shop around 60hrs/week, I haven't had time to really brew anything at home which is really making me sad. I've learned more about everything fermentable in the last 3 months than I did in the last 5 years of homebrewing. I'm making the best beers of my life every batch and now I don't have time to make more. It's frustrating but I wouldn't change anything. I'm excited to start making wine next week. Gonna take a shot at 30 gallons of wine this season...
I brew as a hobby but it would be cool to turn it into a career and open a brewery. I've had people say it would be cool to open a brewery or brewpub. but they're all a bunch of slackers I'd never go into business with. They're interested in brewing until they find out that it's actually work.
I'd never want to brew for a paycheck. I'd rather have brewing be the thing I look forward to after a long work week, not the work week itself.
Hey Gitmoe, sounds like we're in the same situation. It's pretty cool. In the St Louis area, the local grape harvest came in early (chambourcin, norton, foch, and a couple others). Therefore, we're finished with the crazy run on winemaking supplies and back to business as usual with wine kits, beer kits, and lots and lots of grain for eager brewers that were waiting for the weather to get nice to resume brewing. Like you, I love being surrounded by home wine and beer making all the time. Working at the law office (my other part time job) is waaaay less fun.
Recent brews: Amber ale w/ honey malt, Dunkelweizen, Oktoberfest, Alt, Kölsch, English Brown, Rye IPA, Amarillo IPA. 55 gallons so far in 2013.
I brew for a local micro, I volunteer my time (and skill ), he pays me in beer which is the best paycheck ever. It's only lost the fun factor for me a couple times and that's when a problem arises and I'm stuck there until 4 in the morning, like last Friday. After a few hours of sleep I was milling grain and making a yeast starter for a homebrew batch Sunday
Started out as a hobby but I have been brewing at a local pub for a little over a year. We only brew once a week so it is majorly part time and I have a regular full time job, not in the industry.
Hobby, I dont want to start hating it..
We are only 10,000 years into beer... there are thousands of years left to go! Things are bound to change!!Brewroom with HERMS buildFermentation chamber and Keezer.. a.k.a. FermKeezer


text: Bond Bryan MD Jonathan Herbert has released a comment stating his views on the highly publicised BSF debate. It reads as follows: "Ruth Read is correct; BSF work does not guarantee a profit and we are all forced to play by the rules it imposes. Michael Gove is also correct that the BSF programme is longwinded and wasteful. Bidding for work actually costs contractors a small fortune; architects lose money engaging in the same bidding processes over many months hoping for the reward of a commission. As BSF is one of the few shows in town everyone in the construction industry goes along with it. If Michael Gove wants to know how to procure schools efficiently and how architects can add serious value to learning environments, I can be with him in two and a half hours."

Mary of Houston, writes:
Hello, We purchased a Serta Vera Wang - Serenity Collection Serene Sophistication Latex Eurotop mattress 2 weeks ago. I have a desiccated disk and was hoping this mattress would help me relieve my back pain. It seems to me that is has caused me more pain than with our old mattress. My husband just loves the new mattress because his back pain has ceased. We have a 30 day return policy. I have slept on it for two weeks and wonder if I should give it more time or return it for another mattress. Do you have any suggestions for another Serta mattress latex or something else that would be the best for my back pains? Thanks for your help.
Hi Mary. Disc problems and latex mattresses don't always work out. It tends not to work if: 1) the mattress is too soft, 2) the person is heavy, 3) the person is primarily a back sleeper.
It either works for you or it doesn't. Keeping it longer won't make it better. People with disc problems are often more comfortable with an interlocked coil system and just enough padding to be comfortable. In other words, be careful not to get one that is too thick and too plush, as this will distance you from the underlying support.

Step Behind the Scenes of the Frantic, Madcap Birth of Wired
- Tuesday April 16, 2013
An Oral History of Wired 01.01.
An Oral History of Wired 01.01.
When Kraftwerk needed a video to match its electronic music nearly three decades ago, the band turned to Rebecca Allen, a pioneer in the field of computer art. Allen was the creative genius at the helm for 1986's "Musique Non Stop," one of the earliest examples of rendered 3-D graphics in a music video. See behind-the-scenes photographs of the creative process in Wired's gallery.

Starting with the financials. The adjusted net income for the quarter was $314 million or $1.75 per share diluted, that's an increase of 31% compared to the first quarter of last year. Our only adjustment was for unrealized commodity derivative losses due to strong oil prices.
GAAP net income was $263 million or $1.47 per share diluted. Quarterly revenues were almost $1.2 billion, a 30% increase over the first quarter of last year. Crude oil and liquids represented nearly half of our sales volumes and combined with strong prices accounted for over 80% of our revenue for the first quarter.
Our sales volumes were a record 243,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent from the fourth quarter of last year and up 13% from the first quarter of 2011. Our sales exceeded quarterly guidance range that we issued earlier this year, and essentially all of the increased production was from crude oil and liquids sales.
The outperformance was driven by exceptional operating performance at Aseng, which completed its first quarter production, as well as continued growth from the horizontal program in the DJ Basin and the deferral of some maintenance downtime in our non-operated Alba facilities from the first to the second quarter. The good news is that, that Alba maintenance has now been completed, and the field is back up.
47% of the total sales volumes for the quarter were liquids. That's up from 40% in the fourth quarter of last year. Our U.S. sales volumes were 131,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day with 45% being liquids. Compared to the first quarter last year, U.S. sales volumes increased 15%, largely driven by increases from Wattenberg and the addition of the Marcellus Joint Venture. The DJ Basin production totaled 73,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with oil representing 39% of the volume mix, and Natural Gas Liquids representing 17% of the total volumes.
