Postembryonic development of the posterior lateral line in the zebrafish
Nuńez, V.A., Sarrazin, A.F., Cubedo, N., Allende, M.L., Dambly-Chaudičre, C., and Ghysen, A.

The posterior lateral line (PLL) of zebrafish comprises seven to eight sense organs at the end of embryogenesis, arranged in a single antero-posterior line that extends along the horizontal myoseptum from the ear to the tip of the tail. At the end of larval life, four antero-posterior lines extend on the trunk and tail, comprising together around 60 sense organs. The embryonic pattern is largely conserved among teleosts, although adult patterns are very diverse. Here we describe the transition from embryonic to juvenile pattern in the zebrafish, to provide a framework for understanding how the diversity of adult patterns comes about. We show that the four lines that extend over the adult body originate from latent precursors laid down by migrating primordia that arise during embryogenesis. We conclude that, in zebrafish, the entire development of the PLL system up to adulthood can be traced back to events that took place during the first 2 days of life. We also show that the transition from embryonic to adult pattern involves few distinct operations, suggesting that the diversity of patterns among adult teleosts may be due to differential control of these few operations acting upon common embryonic precursors.

The design is bright and fresh, with a dynamic monochrome palette that frames the stock perfectly. A lighter feel has been given to the space to appeal to the female customer and a strong sense of femininity and fashionability is revealed through the bold communication, which promotes the brand and its attitude with a new confidence.
Twenty-four concept stores by Dalziel and PowNovember 15th, 2013
The concept centres on two bold feature boxes, which have landed in the store. The large, freestanding architectural boxes communicate the brand colour on the outside and have a contrasting internal lining, which either responds to trends to create a fashion space, or becomes softer to the rear to form a more discreet lingerie area.

The departments are carefully planned to take into account their adjacencies and encourage browsing and cross-selling. Each floor has a square raft of solid ceiling, surrounded by an open ceiling around the perimeter that pushes out into the corners. Walking around that square central zone without the aid of a walkway creates an intuitive circulation that has become a brand signature.

While literature has dealt with all manner of erotic conflicts, the simplest external motive for conflict has remained untouched, due to its obviousness. That is the phenomenon of being already taken: that a person beloved by us is inaccessible not because of inner antagonisms and inhibitions, too much coldness or overly repressed warmth, but because a relationship already exists, which excludes a new one. The abstract temporal order plays in truth the role which one would like to ascribe to the hierarchy of the feelings. The state of being taken, leaving aside freedom of choice and the decision, also has something wholly accidental about it, which appears to thoroughly contradict the claim of freedom. Even and exactly in a society healed from the anarchy of commodity production, there would scarcely be rules regarding how and in what order one got to meet people. Were it any different, then such an arrangement would equate to the most unbearable assault on freedom. For that reason, the priority of what is accidental has powerful reasons on its side: if a new person is preferred over another, then the latter is slighted, because the past of the common life is annulled, experience itself is, as it were, crossed out. The irreversibility of time sets an objective moral criterion. But this latter is entwined with mythos, like abstract time itself. The exclusivity posited in it develops according to its own concept into the exclusive rule of hermetically sealed groups, finally to that of large-scale industry. Nothing can be more touching than the worry of lovers, that a new person could attract love and tenderness –their finest possessions, just because they cannot be possessed– precisely by means of that newness, which is itself produced by the privilege of the older. But from this touchingness, whose disintegration would mean the simultaneous disintegration of all warmth and snugness [Geborgensein], leads an irresistible path from the aversion of the little child to its younger siblings and the contempt of the fraternity brother to the pledge, to the immigration laws which exclude all non-Europeans in social democratic Australia, all the way to the Fascist extermination of racial minorities, wherein in fact warmth and snugness explode into nothingness. It is not only, as Nietzsche knew, that all good things were once evil: even the most tender of these, left to its own momentum, has the tendency to culminate in unthinkable barbarity.
It would be idle to try to point out a path leading out of such entanglement. Yet the baleful moment can be named, which brings this entire dialectic into play. It lies in the exclusive character of what is first. The original relationship, in its mere immediacy, already presupposes that abstract temporal order. The concept of time is historically formed on the basis of the social order of property. But the desire for ownership reflects time as fear of losing, of irretrievability. What is, is experienced in relation to its possible non-being. It is thereby turned into a possession and precisely in such petrification to something functional, which can be exchanged for another, equivalent possession. Once become entirely a possession, the beloved human being is actually no longer even looked at. Abstraction in love is the complement of exclusivity, which manifests itself deceptively, as its opposite, as the clinging to the appearance of someone-just-so. The object of this conventionalism slips out of the latter's hands, precisely because it is turned into an object, and forfeits the human beings, which it degrades to "mine". If human beings were no longer possessions of any kind, then they could also no longer be exchanged. The true affection would be one, which speaks specifically to the other, holding fast to beloved traits and not to the idol of personality, the mirror-reflection of possession. What is specific is not exclusive: it lacks the impulse towards totality. But in another sense it is nevertheless exclusive: it prevents the substitution of the experience which is indissolubly bound to it, not so by forbidding such, but because its pure concept prevents this substitution from happening in the first place. The protection of what is entirely determinate is that it cannot be repeated, and that is why it tolerates the other. The property relationship in human beings, the exclusive right of priority, recalls to mind the old saying: Lord, they're only human beings, which one, doesn't really matter. The affection which knows nothing of such wisdom, need not fear infidelity, because it would be immune to faithlessness.

Robert 'Joe' Halderman has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted first-degree grand larceny after allegedly threatening to expose Letterman's flings with his Late Show employees unless the TV titan paid $2 million to keep the details out of the press.
Letterman addressed the allegations against him on his show at the beginning of the month, coming clean on air after testifying before a grand jury earlier in the day.
Now a judge has ordered the release of law enforcement affidavits and a list of evidence taken from Halderman's home.
The court documents show that Halderman has been accused of allegedly threatening to publish an expose unless Letterman paid up.
According to one affidavit, Letterman's lawyers allege that Halderman told them he planned to "write the book and publicize the information" if he was not paid. He was later arrested after depositing a phony $2 million check into his bank account.
Halderman, who has been suspended from his job pending an investigation, has been freed on $200,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 10.

LONG BEACH, N.Y. — New York public transit officials restored limited service to the last of 10 branches of the Long Island Rail Road commuter line that suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy and said that nearly all New York City subway service is now operational, the AP reported.Officials added that they are still working to mitigate overcrowding and slower than normal commutes. For the full story, click here.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

mortgage protection insurance (again)
I've seen people talking about this issue, but I can't find any reference to how much this stuff costs.
So how much would it cost to, say, insure a $100,000 mortgage.
I'm talking about the type of insurance that will pay your mortgage payment if you should lose the ability to work.
I would think that there would be a lot of factors considered in determining the cost of insurance...age for one.
Is there only one name on the mortgage?
I wonder how that would work if there were 2 names (and most probably 2 incomes), on the mortgage.
I think it is a considerable amount of the payment, and I never had it, but instead was comfortable with having savings, in the event of a major illness or injury.
A properly-valued life insurance policy will function in part as your mortgage-replacement insurance, your credit-card insurance, your installment-debt insurance, etc.
However, most life insurance policies do not cover disability, which is a far more likely occurrence over your career than death. If you cannot work at your job, what could you do which would earn you enough money to continue to pay your bills? Some workplaces offer disability insurance, either paid for by the company (rarer and rarer) or as a group policy for its employees. The thing to watch for there is "own occupation" -- cheaper disability-insurance policies will only pay you for your disability if you are unable to perform any job (even filling boxes on an assembly line or stuffing erasers on pencils) -- regardless of whether the income that new job provides remotely resembles your old income. In that case, you probably qualify for SSDI anyway. So, if you go for disability insurance, make sure it covers your income for the kinds of jobs you have been educated to do.
And, here is something you all should consider....getting this insurance from your insurance agent not the lender.
When you get the insurance from the lender they always get the money.
If you get insurance from an agent you are the beneficiary.
An example..
Mortgage life thru the bank..
Mr. bread winner dies, mortgage paid off. No extra money for spouse.
Mortgage life with insurance agent...
Mr. bread winner dies, spouse gets the money...she may continiue to pay payments and if necessary have $$ for repairs.
I sold insurance for years and saw a person in great trouble because had life insurance with mortgage company. When her spouse died, the house was paid for...wonderful. She needed a furnace and a roof but had no $$ for that. With the life with her insurance co, she could have made these payments and her repairs while she got on her feet enough to get a job and continue.
And, do you all know that most times the insurance is cheaper thru an agent as opposed to the bank??
Ok, sorry, that was my 2 cents!!
Karen L
You probably can find some prices for companies which do business over the Internet, though you'll likely have to supply them with an email address (make it a disposable one). Or you can call an independent broker in your community; at least he/she is not representing just one line. Or just get really good at saying, "No, thank you."
I see you just joined these forums. If you didn't read the policies before you joined, you need to know that these forums prohibit commercial solicitations, such as you've just made, and that your membership can be cancelled for violating that policy.
If the lender furnishes the insurance, the benefit goes to them: if the homeowner buys it, he (well, his survivors - he'll not have much need of it, where he goes) gets the benefit, as mentioned above.
A problem with mortgage insurance, though, is that the amount of insurance is the amount of the principal still owing - that decreases over the years, more rapidly near the end.
However, if you buy your own term insurance, usually you'll get a larger amount for the same premium, but the amount of benefit will stay constant throughout the full term.
If you arrange to delay death for a period, there'll be some extra benefit over the amount needed to pay off the mortgage that the survivor can use for other purposes.
It is worthy of consideration that most of us are about 4 times as likely to suffer disability as death during our working years.

Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" Coming to Grand Rapids in December
Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will play DeVos Performance Hall December 26-30 with eight performances, and tickets are on sale NOW.
Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will play DeVos Performance Hall December 26-30 with eight performances, and tickets are on sale NOW.
A week or so ago I wrote a blog about Ripley's Believe it or Not visiting ArtPrize and looking for the unusual pieces of art that might fit with their museums around the world.
The follow-up to that blog is that this was a bonanza year for Ripley's. They did buy art from some of the artists in ArtPrize. As a matter of fact, more than ever before. Now the exhibits purchased are now the property of Ripley's Believe it or Not.
Next month, November of 2012, Jeff Dunham kicks off his all new "Disorderly Conduct" worldwide tour, and it's coming to Grand Rapids, too.
The new tour brings a brand new show packed with more laughs than ever before. Dunham's famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanut's own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself.
As I mentioned in a blog on Tuesday, the Grand Rapids Symphony kicks off their Fox Pops Concert Series this weekend with the music of Vegas, the Rat Pack, and more.
Matt Catingub, who will conduct the symphony for the concert, is a composer, arranger, singer, plays the piano, sax.....there is probably nothing he doesn't do in the world of music.
Vegas excitement is coming this week to the DeVos Performance Hall stage.
The Fox Pops Concert Series of the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra kicks off Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5, 6 and 7, with the music of Vegas and the Rat Pack.
As ArtPrize continues to roll along for 2012, one thing is very clear. It truly is a community event. And it's wide reach is noticed around the country, if not the world.
At ArtPrize, you'll find remarkable work, and some unbelievable work
Quite please, no one speak. Shhhh!
The Blue Man Group opens Tuesday evening at DeVos Performance Hall for a weeks run as the season kick-off for Broadway Grand Rapids. And, as you know, they never speak. Why? They don't have to.
One of Grand Rapids "favorite sons," Sam Stryke, has what I think is a stunning entry in ArtPrize.
Sam, who lives in Chicago now, is a wonderful composer and performer who regularly comes back to Grand Rapids for concerts.
Remember, Sam composed the music for the famous Bud Light commercials....."hey, Mr. my shorts are too tight man," etc.
As ArtPrize begins it's 4th year of bringing art and conversation to Grand Rapids in a "really big" way, the concern has always been to hold an event the is truly open to all. And by that I mean, accessible to all, even with a physical disability.
For the next two plus weeks, Grand Rapids will be swarmed by serious art lovers, the not-so serious art lovers, the curious, and who ever else falls into whatever category you can think of, during ArtPrize 2012.
With venues all over town it is always difficult to take in all of the creations, visual and audio, especially since there will be more than 1,500 artworks and 161 venues taking part.
ArtPrize 2012 is almost here. Art works are being installed all over the city now, and excitement is building to see what is in store for this year. There are always new additions and something fresh and exciting each year.
This year, it's kicking off in a BIG way. Asia, The Greatest Show on Earth's Elephant Artist in Ringling, along with a dozen children from the Community Inclusion Group of the Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention/Arena Authority (CAA) will get it started.
Yep, it was just announced...Bob Dylan is coming to GR November 12th. He'll be at the arena on November 12th with his band along with Mark Knopfler.

How to fix tribe.
1. Give up on tribe.net. Just abandon it.
2. Start a new website using the same format, but with clean, reliable code this time.
3. Put in place features to thwart stalkers. Instead of telling the vicitm of a stalker to ignore the stalker, give the victim the ability to make themselves invisable to the stalker. Like on Facebook, which has privacy settings that allow only friends to see you.
4. Get rid of the Google searchability. Only stalkers have need to google search the site.
5. Limit the use of multiple accounts. Other sites easily accomplish this. People like me have mutliple accounts only because other people do. Level the playing field.
6. Get rid of the pervert tribes. Come on, man. There's no need for tribe.net to be a free adult services / porn / adult friend finder website. People will pay for that, why are you letting them come here for free.

1, 2, 3, Addressed in new version
4, even if removed from this site, it would still be available on Google's site. The only way to avoid that would be to make the entire site private and invisible.
5, and if everyone jumped off a cliff...
6, stop hanging out in them and flaming everyone, eh? The idea has come up to make the adult areas for subscribers only. This would make them non-searchable, non-visible, members-only, paid-access. In conjunction with the individual users preferences to block X-rated material, it wouldn't be seen by paying members who did not want to see it. You'd have to go looking for it, as a paying member. As a non-paying member, you'd never see it.
Unsu...Also, have some balls and unsub people who make threats, who disclose private information, who engage in copyright violations. Everyone of my stalkers and other people's stalkers has done this and they are still here. At most, all tribe.net will do is delete an offending post. That's no deterent. That just hides the evidence.
You don't think unsubbing works? It would work on these people. They live for tribe. Some of them have had accounts going back to the earliest days. It would devistate them to be unsubbed. They would do anything to avoid it, but you never even threaten them with that sanction.
The only people you unsub are people like me, who could care less because we have a real life. And the only reason you unsub us is for talking back to tribe.net, so the punishment means nothing, we know it is just because you can't take criticism and we make a game of it.
If you catch someone - like any of my stalkers - making threats, disclosing private info, or violating copyrights, unsub them. It will work. You say it won't, but you haven't even tried.
Unsu...As I have suggested before, also you need to ban people who make false accusations of TOU violations to the TOU Guy.
That would get rid of all my stalkers.
Enforce the TOU, and make it agains the TOU to make false complaints to the TOU Guy.
Tribe.net, you really have to clean house. The main demographic here is mentally ill, shut ins, people who are at home all day, living off disability checks, with no life outside of tribe.net, no hope for human interaction other than to stalk, troll or drone-lecture other people into submission.
You don't get that on Facebook. My stalker, who is responding to my every post even while I don't talk to her, would never appear on Facebook because you can't create an account there as an alt and then engage in this kind of behavior. Sure, there are a few alts on Facebook, but they are only tolerated if they behave. She'd have to show her face and use her name. She won't do that. Her only interest in real names and faces is to invade the privacy of other people, learn and exploit their identities, all the while remaining a friendless, nameless, faceless alt-stalker-troll
Do you really wonder why tribe.net has acquired this demographic? You let the crazy people run this place. You let this happen.
Tribe.net is absolutely putrid. No one in their right mind wants to be here except in disguise. The decent old timers have all retreated into private tribes. The public tribes are nothing but mentally unbalanced people, losers and people who come out to troll them for sport.
And now, off to Facebook, where people don't get stalked by scumbags with the blessing and fellowship of the site's administrators.
Ban the stalkers.
Ban the drone!
Ban the SoT alts. What's with the J-names anyway?
jilly and jimmy and jall. Jolene Smithers, Jok Bar, Julie, Johnston Lawyer, Jordy, Jordan Finetooth, that's all I can remember right now, but there were probably more. Oh, the Janes.
It's sort of like Superman's obsession with L names: boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/s...ead.php
Give it a rest, eh?
Pull all your split personalities back into a cohesive whole.
When you say "I don't talk to her" you really mean "I don't talk to her using this screen name but I may do so with various other alts, but those aren't the same as this screen name"
Which is stupid.
/drone lecture
Unsu...SOT seems to whine the loudest on Friday nights for some reason. Must be lonely...
SOT is not lonely. SOT's stalkers - like you - project their own lonely, miserable existence onto him. They know better but wish that upon him. They go so far as to make death wishes. Losers.
They are unemployed. He's not, so they hate him.
They are alone. He's not, so they hate him.
They have no friends. He does, so they hate him.
They are boring, unwitty. He makes people laugh, so they hate him.
And so on.
Maybe SOT stays in on Friday nights. After a long week of productive work - something to which you are a stranger - perhaps he perfers to stay in. Of what concern is his schedule to you? Stalker.
Unsu...You've finally cracked, tribe.net. Using your powers as the administrator to troll me in order to come to the aid of a crazy mentally ill stalker, fighting battles on her behalf. She doesn't need your help. She devotes her entire day to it.
Under your guidance, tribe's membership has turned into the most fetid, filthy, rancourous bunch. It has become such a disreptuable site, so bad that google doesn't want your business.
This is no accident. This is your doing. It started the moment you took over and welcomed back known pathological lying cybercriminals. That was inexplicable, but so revealing. Word got out. You made it official. Not only would you not do anything about it, but you befriended them. You're one of them.
Anyhow, you've lost it. I think it's just a matter of a few days before you do something outrageous, probably something illegal.
This is probably the only known social networking site where you get trolled and flammed by the administrators, where the administrators maintain various alts to carrying out their own trolling and flamming, and where the administrators befriend and encourage stalkers and reprimand anyone who challenges the stalkers.
But then, it has never been run professionally. Now we know why nothing ever got fixed. They were too busy trolling.
Unsu...So why doncha complaining nancys just fuck off? Put yourselves out of your misery. Vamoose, etc. Isn't step #1 to abandon tribe? Walk your talk, wankers.
Unsu...What, and abandon my social experiments?
I'm testing various theories here.
It's fascinating. And yes, you are my lab rats.
<What, and abandon my social experiments? >
The Nuremberg Code (1947)
"The Council believes experiments where consent is not fully informed or voluntary (based on a standard reference of coersion) is experimentation without consent. In terms of ethics or human rights, this may constitute torture."
Stop torturing us !!
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.You're invoking Nuremberg? What was that rule about automatically losing any internet debate when you bring up the subject of Hitler?
Anyhow, your premise is wrong. All of the people here are willing participants in the experiment. Not only are they willing, they're addicted to the experiment.
As addicting as it is, and as exicting as it may be waiting to see just how much further the administrators are going to crack, it's time to go to bed. Some of us need our rest because we have interests and activities outside of tribe.net and the internet. For some of us, this is just a hobby.
Unsu...and for some it's around 4 on a Saturday
yeah about the time differential of posts like lisa's post " around 4 on sat" it says 11:14 pm
i know there is a pacific left coast vs atlantic right coast , time issue but really 4=11 now?
really? in what reality?
i agree ,somehow, it should be possible to ban all the ill willed trolls ,stalkers, and all their flying monkeys that throw buckets of poo everywhere.
very few have the wit and charm required to play nicely... and they rarely take turns.....stiring the compost... time to flush...
perhaps it may be time to clean house.
and the one i just posted says 1:24 and was only 4 mins after her's ....
wooooh, time warp...

Publisher's Description
In Three Simple Rules, Rueben Job offers an interpretation of John Wesley's General Rules for today's readers. For individual reading or group study, this insightful work calls us to mutual respect, unity and a deeper daily relationship with God.
This simple but challenging look at three commands, "do no harm, do good, stay in love with God," calls us to mutual respect, unity, and a deeper relationship with God.
"Every year I review the three general rules of the United Methodist Church with those who are being ordained. Now I have a wonderful ordination gift to give them in Bishop Jobs, Three Simple Rules, to start and deepen the conversation as they enter a new relationship with the church. Bishop Job has described "by attending upon all the ordinances of God" to be to "stay in love with God." Its a fresh language that speaks especially to long-time Christians and United Methodists." Sally Dyck, Resident Bishop, Minnesota Area
"Three Simple Rules is a new catechism for everyone wanting to follow Jesus Christ. These practices for holy living should replace the membership vows in every church! Dont let the title fool you. Bishop Job writes, The rules are simple, but the way is not easy. Only those with great courage will attempt it, and only those with great faith will be able to walk this exciting and demanding way." John Hopkins, Resident Bishop, East Ohio Area

The Space
Grass Valley Award-winning "green" lakefront retreat on 8 secluded acres of forest. Nestled in the Sierras the glass walls of this contemporary home completely open to the forest and magnificent lake views. Featured in Sunset Magazine, completely off-grid, this showcase home is perfect for a romantic getaway. Private trail to lake and canoe for guests' use. 10 minutes from historic gold rush towns.
Designed by renowned architect, Michelle Kaufmann. See our lotus lake house website for guest reviews. "Build it Green" and "Keep the Sierras Green" certification.
no smoking. Low carbon footprint requested as we are eco-friendly and off-grid.
Tod and Barrie have created a truly unique spot in the woods in Grass Valley. This house is secluded and a great place for a quiet getaway. The property is set among a beautiful stand of very tall trees with a nice view of the water from the deck. We had a great time here in December, doing local hikes and a day trip for skiing in Tahoe. Highly recommended.
Tod and Barrie were very responsive to inquiries and there is a very helpful guide in the house that answers any questions you might have.
My husband and I needed a short get away from our daily grind and this fit the bill. The home is as described: modern, private, "off-the-grid." We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Although it rained not allowing us to explore the property, the glass doors brought the outdoors in and gave us a feeling of living in the trees. Barrie & Tod left wonderful details about the house and suggestions on things to do in the area. We'd love to experience the house and property during different seasons. We've already recommended this house to friends of ours. And we plan to return soon. Thank you, Barrie & Tod, for sharing this wonderful place.
Your detailed instructions to get there and use the various amenities were very helpful.
Thanks for making this place available. We will definitely be back.
First the good news, the house is great, and a great way to experience a green building up close and personal. however, when one reads "green" and "off the grid" (which mean very different things of course) I think most people expect a corresponding level of peacefulness in nature. That is not what we got.
On a hot weekend Rollins Reservoir is the Sears Point Speedway of lakes - all day long. As much as we loved this house, it's view, it's visual seclusion, the noise was unbearable. Daytime was spent in nearby swimming holes on the Yuba or long drives, not reading on the beautiful deck where decibel levels were in the high 70s. Too bad. Maybe Winter?
Barrie and Todd were wonderful hosts. They we very prompt and friendly in responding. The house had everything we needed and more. This place is the perfect getaway in a beautiful location. They made it easy to escape!
My fiance and I loved staying at Barrie and Tod's house. We celebrated our engagement here and it was just what we wanted. The lake was beautiful, the canoe was fantastic, and the privacy was perfect - a very romantic place to stay. We really loved the fenced in yard/deck for our little doggie. We couldn't imagine that being any better. We hope to be back!!!
A favorite Airbnb stay. Beautiful house and location, view, seclusion, amenities, and friendly, helpful, thoughtful host in our interactions. Barrie and Tod have taken beautiful care of this home, and thoughtfully provided for a lovely stay. The deck was awesome, and I loved the blending of the indoor and outdoor space. Be aware that on a busy summer weekend it is like motorboat highway down on the lake through the afternoon, but morning and evening were peaceful and calm - great for a canoe paddle.
Our eco-friendly vacation home was a labor of love. We care deeply about the environment and are thrilled to have this unique off-grid retreat to escape to and to share with others. After a 2 year sabbatical living in Europe, doing volunteer work and taking art classes, Barrie has returned to the high tech Silicon Valley world. Tod has an off grid consulting business and a small manufacturing start up.
We need your input to finalize the design for our own mountain biker course, right on our own property. if you are an expert mountain biker, please come visit and help us detail the course.

I've lived here almost two years. The first year in one apartment and the second in another apartment. Rent is reasonable. The lease is detailed and there have been no surprises. Maintenance comes within 24 hours for nonemergency issues. The front office is friendly and helpful. Agents come and go but I put that to young people
I really enjoyed my time living ...
I really enjoyed my time living here. I had the A1 floor plan and got a price on it I was very happy with.

Jared Leto (/lɛtoʊ/; born December 26, 1971) is an American actor, singer, songwriter, and director. After starting his career with television appearances in the early 1990s, Leto achieved recognition for his role as Jordan Catalano on the television series My So-Called Life (1994). He made his film debut in How to Make an American Quilt (1995) and received first notable critical praise for his performance in Prefontaine (1997). Leto played supporting roles in The Thin Red Line (1998), Fight Club (1998) and American Psycho (2000), as well as the lead role in Urban Legend (1998), and earned critical acclaim after portraying heroin addict Harry Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream (2000). He later began focusing increasingly on his music career, returning to acting with Panic Room (2002), Alexander (2004), Lord of War (2005), Lonely Hearts (2006), Chapter 27 (2007), and Mr. Nobody (2009). He made his directorial debut in 2012 with the documentary film Artifact.
Leto's performance as a transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club (2013) earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, among numerous other accolades. Leto is considered to be a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles.[1][2] He often remains completely in character for the duration of the shooting schedules of his films, even to the point of adversely affecting his health.[1] He is also known to be selective about his film roles.[3]
Leto is the lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter for Thirty Seconds to Mars, a band he formed in 1998 in Los Angeles, California, with his older brother Shannon Leto. Their debut album, 30 Seconds to Mars (2002), was released to positive reviews but only to limited success.[4] The band achieved worldwide fame with the release of their second album A Beautiful Lie (2005). Their following releases, This Is War (2009) and Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013), received further critical and commercial success.[5] As of September 2014, the band has sold over 15 million albums worldwide.[6] Leto has also directed music videos, including the MTV Video Music Award–winning "The Kill" (2006), "Kings and Queens" (2009), and "Up in the Air" (2013).
Jared Leto was born in Bossier City, Louisiana, a son of Constance Leto (née Metrejon).[7] His mother has Cajun ancestry.[7] "Leto" is the surname of his stepfather, with whom he is not biologically related.[7] His parents divorced when he was a child, and he and his older brother Shannon Leto lived with their mother and their maternal grandparents William Lee Metrejon and Ruby Russell.[7] His father remarried and committed suicide when Jared was eight.[8] Leto moved frequently with his family from his native Louisiana to different cities around the country.[9] "My mom's father was in the Air Force," Leto has explained, "so moving around a lot was a normal way of life."[10] Leto has two younger half-brothers from his father's second marriage.[7]
Constance joined the hippie movement and encouraged her sons to get involved in the arts.[7] "I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater," he stated in an interview with Kerrang!; "Just having the art communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth."[11] Leto grew up listening to classic rock from Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin and his first musical instrument was a broken-down piano.[12]
After dropping out briefly in the 10th grade, Leto decided to return and focus on his education at the private Emerson Preparatory School in Washington, D.C., but graduated from Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia.[13] He was interested in large-scale visual art and enrolled at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.[9][14] After developing an interest in filmmaking, he transferred to the School of Visual Arts in New York City.[9][13] While he was a student there, he wrote and starred in his own short film, Crying Joy.[14]
In 1992, Leto moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.[14] He found minor roles on television shows but his first break came in 1994, after he was cast opposite Claire Danes as Jordan Catalano, her love interest, in the short-lived but well-reviewed ABC teen drama My So-Called Life.[15] The show was praised for its portrayal of adolescence and gained a strong cult following, despite being canceled after only one season.[16] The same year, he made his television film debut starring alongside Alicia Silverstone in Cool and the Crazy, and landed his first film role in the 1995 drama How to Make an American Quilt. He later co-starred with Christina Ricci in The Last of the High Kings (1996) and got a supporting role in Switchback (1997).[14]
In 1997, Leto starred in the biopic Prefontaine in which he played the role of Olympic hopeful Steve Prefontaine. For the preparation of the role, Leto immersed himself in the runner's life, training for six weeks and meeting with members of his family and friends.[17] He bore a striking resemblance to the real Prefontaine, also adopting the athlete's voice and upright running style.[18] His portrayal received positive reviews from critics and is often considered his breakthrough role.[17][19] Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle noted how Leto played the athlete with raw vitality; "With hypnotic blue eyes and dirty blond hair, Leto captures the rock-star style Prefontaine affected, and he looks natural in fiery performances on the track, as well as off, where Pre affected a brash, confrontational style."[20]
After landing the lead role of a British aristocrat in the 1998 drama Basil, Leto starred in the horror Urban Legend. The film was poorly received by most movie critics, however, it was a financial success.[21][22] The same year, Terrence Malick cast Leto for a supporting role in the war film The Thin Red Line alongside Sean Penn and Adrien Brody.[23] It garnered mostly positive reviews and was a moderate success in the box office.[24] It received multiple awards and nominations, including seven Academy Award nominations; Leto shared a Satellite Award with the rest of the cast.[25][26]
Leto formed the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars in 1998 in Los Angeles, California with his brother Shannon Leto, with whom he had been playing music since his childhood.[27] When the group first started, Jared Leto did not allow his position of Hollywood actor to be used in promotion of the band.[28] Their debut album had been in the works for a couple of years, with Leto writing the majority of the songs. Their work led to a number of record labels being interested in signing Thirty Seconds to Mars, which eventually signed to Immortal Records.[29]
In 1999, Leto played a gay high school teacher who attracts the attentions of Robert Downey, Jr. in Black and White, and got a supporting role in the drama Girl, Interrupted, an adaptation of the memoir of the same name by Susanna Kaysen. He then portrayed Angel Face in Fight Club (1999), a film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name, directed by David Fincher.[10] Leto began dating actress Cameron Diaz in 1999 and the couple became engaged in 2000.[30]
Leto played Paul Allen, a rival of Patrick Bateman, in the psychological thriller American Psycho (2000). Though the film polarized audiences and critics, Leto's performance was well received.[14] The same year, he starred as heroin addict Harry Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream, an adaptation of Hubert Selby, Jr.'s novel of the same name, directed by Darren Aronofsky and co-starring Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans. To prepare for his role, Leto lived on the streets of New York City and refrained from having sex for two months prior to shooting.[31][32] He starved himself for months, losing 28 pounds to realistically play his heroin addict character.[33] After the shooting of the film, Leto moved to Portugal and lived in a monastery for several months to gain weight.[31][32] His performance received critical acclaim by film critics who notably praised the actor's emotional courage in portraying the character's physical and mental degradation.[34] Peter Travers from Rolling Stone commented that Leto "excels by going beyond Harry's gaunt look to capture his grieving heart. His scenes with Ellen Burstyn as Sara, Harry's widowed mother, achieve a rare poignancy as son and mother drown in delusions."[34]
Leto next appeared in the independent film Highway. Set in 1994, Leto is caught with the wife of his employer, a Vegas thug, and flee to Seattle with his best friend Jake Gyllenhaal in the week preceding Kurt Cobain's suicide. Filming finished in early 2000, but the film was not released until March 2002 on home video formats, although originally scheduled for a theatrical release.[35]
During this period Leto focused increasingly on his music career, working with producers Bob Ezrin and Brian Virtue on his band's debut album 30 Seconds to Mars, which was released on August 27, 2002, in the United States through Immortal and Virgin. It reached number 107 on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the US Top Heatseekers.[36] Upon its release, 30 Seconds to Mars was met with mostly positive reviews; music critic Megan O'Toole felt that the band has "managed to carve out a unique niche for themselves in the rock realm."[37] The album was a slow-burning success, and eventually sold two million copies worldwide.[12]
Leto returned to acting in 2002 with the thriller Panic Room, which marked his second teaming with director David Fincher. He played the supporting role of Junior, a burglar who terrorizes Jodie Foster. The film was well received by critics and became a financial success, grossing nearly US$200 million worldwide.[38][39] In 2003, Leto and Cameron Diaz ended their four-year relationship.[30] Leto's next film was the 2004 biographical film Alexander, directed by Oliver Stone. He portrayed Hephaestion, the closest friend of Alexander the Great. The film failed in the United States; Stone attributed its poor reception to disapproval of the depiction of Alexander's bisexuality, but it succeeded internationally, with worldwide revenue of US$167 million.[40][41]
The following year, Leto starred together with Nicolas Cage in the political crime thriller Lord of War. He played Vitaly, the younger brother of illegal arms dealer Yuri Orlov. The film was officially endorsed by the human rights group Amnesty International for highlighting the arms trafficking by the international arms industry.[42] It was positively received by movie critics and was a moderate commercial success.[43]
It took two years to record Thirty Seconds to Mars' second album A Beautiful Lie, with the band traveling to four different continents to accommodate Leto's acting career. A Beautiful Lie was released on August 30, 2005, in the United States. It has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has reached platinum and gold status in several countries, with a sales total of over four million.[4] The band heavily toured in support of the album and played at several major festivals, including Roskilde, Pinkpop, Rock am Ring, and Download.[44]
In 2006, Leto appeared in the neo-noir crime drama Lonely Hearts, the true story of the notorious "lonely hearts killers" of the 1940s, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck. Playing Fernandez, he co-starred with Salma Hayek who played the role Beck. The film received mixed reviews from critics; however, Leto's acting was widely praised; Heather Huntington from Reelz wrote that his "layered performance as the nattily dressing dandy with no remorse is truly impressive."[45]
The same year, Leto directed the music video for "The Kill". At a press release, he stated that an "insanely obnoxious Danish albino" named Bartholomew Cubbins directed the video.[46] He later explained his decision to direct with a pseudonym saying, "I really wanted people to be able to enjoy and experience the video without having any more preconceived notions or distractions, and just to let it be what it was. It wasn't important for me to lay claim to it in that way."[47] Bartholomew Cubbins is a recurring character in the Dr. Seuss universe and one of Leto's favorite characters created by the writer.[48] "The Kill" was inspired by themes of isolation and insanity present in the Stanley Kubrick-directed psychological horror film The Shining (1980).[49] Leto said, "The idea of isolation, identity, and self discovery were all elements present in the song. I thought this light homage was a good starting point and it soon grew to include many more elements outside of Kubrick's original piece."[49] The short film received a largely positive response and numerous accolades, including an MTV Video Music Award.[50] Leto next directed a short film for "From Yesterday". It was filmed in the Forbidden City and became the first ever American music video shot in the People's Republic of China in its entirety.[51] Hundreds of costumed extras were employed for the shoot, inspired by the empires of ancient Chinese dynasties.[51] Leto drew inspiration from Bernardo Bertolucci's historical drama The Last Emperor (1987) as well as the work of Akira Kurosawa.[52]
In 2007, Leto starred in the biographical film Chapter 27. He portrayed Mark David Chapman, a fanatic fan of The Beatles and the murderer of John Lennon. Leto prepared for his role by relying on interviews with Chapman and on audiotapes recorded by a librarian which the actor met during a visit to the inmate's hometown.[53] Leto gained 67 pounds to approximate the killer's physique.[53] The abruptness of his weight gain gave him gout.[54] He was forced to use a wheelchair due to the stress of the sudden increase in weight put on his body.[54] After the shooting of the film, he quickly went on a liquid diet.[55] Chapter 27 premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.[56] Despite divided critical opinion on the film as a whole, Leto's performance was widely praised.[56] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly considered his acting "a genuine transformation, as the actor submerges himself in Chapman's couch-potato flab and red-rimmed eyes. ... Leto disappears inside this angry, mouth-breathing psycho geek with a conviction that had me hanging on his every delusion."[57]
Leto's next short film was "A Beautiful Lie" (2008), which he directed under the pseudonym of Angakok Panipaq. The music video was filmed 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Greenland.[58] Determined to offset the impact that filming would have on the environment, Leto worked with the Natural Resources Defense Council to develop strategies that would minimize fuel consumption on the shoot.[58] Upon release, "A Beautiful Lie" was met with widespread critical acclaim, resulting in various accolades, including the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video.[59] Proceeds from the video's sales benefited the Natural Resources Defense Council.[60] The same year, Leto remixed a version of the song "The Only One" by The Cure for their extended play Hypnagogic States.[61]
In August 2008, during the recording process of their third studio album, Thirty Seconds to Mars attempted to sign with a new label, prompting EMI (the parent label of Virgin), to file a $30 million breach of contract lawsuit.[62] After nearly a year of legal battles, the band announced on April 28, 2009, that the suit had been settled following a defence based on the De Havilland Law.[63] Thirty Seconds to Mars then signed a new contract with EMI and released their third album This Is War in December 2009 to critical acclaim.[64][65] This Is War reached the top ten of several national album charts and earned numerous music awards.[66]
Leto's next film was the 2009 science fiction drama Mr. Nobody, directed by Jaco Van Dormael. He portrayed the title role of Nemo Nobody, the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. His role required him to play various versions of his character, from 34 to 118 years old, spending six hours daily for the full make-up and adopting the voice of an old-aged man.[67] Mr. Nobody premiered at the 2009 Venice Film Festival. Critical response praised the film's artistry and Leto's performance.[68] Boyd van Hoeij from Variety felt that "his acting talent really comes into full view in his scenes as the last dying man on Earth. Despite too much old-age makeup, Leto nevertheless infuses the character with some real raw emotional power;"[69] while Bruce Kirkland of Toronto Sun claimed that Leto gave "a marvelously full-blooded, brain-spinning, tour-de-force performance."[70]
In 2009, Leto recruited scores of extras and all manner of surrealist street performers for the short film of "Kings and Queens", which features a critical mass movement founded with forward-thinking and eco-conscious intentions, through Los Angeles at night.[71] The short film premiered on November 9, 2009 at the Montalban Theater in Los Angeles and was positively received.[72] At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, "Kings and Queens" received four nominations, including Video of the Year and Best Direction, and went on to win Best Rock Video.[73] Thirty Seconds to Mars began their Into the Wild Tour in February 2010 and was among the hardest-working touring artists of the year.[74]
Leto filmed "Closer to the Edge" (2010), a short film featuring tour footage, fan commentary and pictures of Thirty Seconds to Mars from their youth, during the band's Into the Wild Tour. Critics lauded the simplicity of the video; James Montgomery from MTV wrote, "there's no denying the power of seeing tens of thousands of fans finding a simultaneous salvation, of a crowd of individuals becoming one. It's what rock and roll is supposed to be about, really: inclusion."[75] In December 2011, Thirty Seconds to Mars entered the Guinness World Records for most live shows during a single album cycle, with 300 shows.[65]
Leto's next project was "Hurricane" (2010), an experimental short film which explores personal demons and unlocking secret fantasies in what is believed to be a dream.[76] Leto filmed it in New York City and described its concept as a "surrealistic nightmare dream-fantasy."[77] Upon release, "Hurricane" garnered controversy and was initially censored due to its elements of violence.[78] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, the short film received three nominations in the categories of Best Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Editing.[79]
In 2012, Leto made his directorial debut with the documentary film Artifact. It chronicles the modern music business as it charts the legal dispute between Thirty Seconds to Mars and record label EMI, which filed a $30 million breach of contract lawsuit against them in 2008, after the band tried to exit its contract over a royalties dispute.[62] Artifact was made on a limited budget provided by Leto and personal assistant Emma Ludbrook through the production company Sisyphus Corporation.[80] It premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival where it received the People's Choice Award for Best Documentary.[81] Critics praised the examination of the state of the modern music industry and its focus on the relationship between artists and record companies.[82] The film received a limited theatrical release beginning November 23, 2013, before being released digitally on December 3, 2013.[83]
Thirty Seconds to Mars released their fourth album, Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams, in May 2013 through Universal. The album was produced by Leto with previous collaborator Steve Lillywhite. It received generally positive reviews and reached the top ten in more than fifteen countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States.[84] Leto filmed the 2013 short film for "Up in the Air" at a now-defunct aerospace manufacturing building in Los Angeles, California. He described it as a "bizarre and hallucinogenic journey through an incredibly surreal landscape."[85] The short film features several artists, including burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, gymnasts McKayla Maroney and Jordyn Wieber, writer Neil Strauss and a number of animals.[86] It garnered several awards, including the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video, and competed at the 2013 Camerimage.[87]
Leto described the concept of his next short film, "Do or Die" (2013), as a companion piece to "Closer to the Edge" (2010).[88] It was filmed during the Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams Tour and features live footage of Thirty Seconds to Mars onstage as well as fan commentary. The same year, Leto directed the critically praised short film for "City of Angels", which premiered on October 12, 2013 at the Hollywood Bowl. The music video features a number of celebrities who join the three members of Thirty Seconds to Mars in sharing their visions about Los Angeles.[89] Multiple monoliths and murals, including Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe impersonators, also appear, as well as homeless people hired by Leto himself for the video.[90]
After a five years hiatus from filming, Leto returned to act in the drama Dallas Buyers Club (2013), directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and co-starring Matthew McConaughey. Leto portrayed Rayon, a drug addicted transgender woman with AIDS who befriends McConaughey's character Ron Woodroof. In order to accurately portray his role, Leto lost 30 pounds, shaved his eyebrows and waxed his entire body.[91] He stated the portrayal was grounded in his meeting transgender people while researching the role.[92] During filming, Leto refused to break character.[91] Dallas Buyers Club received widespread critical acclaim and became a financial success, resulting in various accolades for Leto, who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role and a variety of film critics' circle awards for the role.[93]
After the strong relationship between Thirty Seconds to Mars and its audience, Leto launched the social media management and digital marketing company The Hive.[94] It is based in Studio City, Los Angeles and focus on creative community building. In recent years, it has expanded to other artists such as Jessie J and Semi Precious Weapons.[94] In 2010, Leto launched The One and Only Golden Tickets, a full service company which operates worldwide and manages exclusive services for concerts, festivals, and events.[94] In 2013, the company was renamed Adventures In Wonderland.[95]
In 2011, Leto launched the online platform VyRT.[96] Created as a live video streaming service, it also features social networking and official merchandise. Its idea came from some frustrating experiences Leto faced with Thirty Seconds to Mars in streaming their own live events.[96] In June 2012, VyRT was awarded Best Online Concert Experience at the O Music Awards.[97] In 2012, Leto became an investor in Surf Air, a California-based air service.[98]
Leto lives a vegan lifestyle and supports animal rights.[99] In 2008, he supported the California Proposition 2 regarding treatment of farm animals.[100] In the 2008 presidential election, Leto supported Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.[101] In 2012, he chaired a Gen44 event, a campaign set up by Obama to energize voters under 40.[102] Leto is a gay rights activist. In October 2009, he raised money to the campaign against California Proposition 8, created by opponents of same-sex marriage to overturn the California Supreme Court decision that had legalized same-sex marriage.[103] He spoke out in support of LGBT rights group Freedom Action Inclusion Rights (FAIR).[103] In May 2012, he expressed support after hearing that Barack Obama had endorsed same-sex marriage.[104]
Leto has been active in several charitable pursuits.[105] He has been volunteering at the charity Art of Elysium, which helps children with serious medical conditions.[106] He has supported the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, a program specializing in type 1 diabetes research and care.[105] In 2006, he created the cover art for the album 97X Green Room: Volume 2, which proceeds from the sales benefited The Nature Conservancy.[107] In June 2008, he joined Habitat for Humanity to work with Thirty Seconds to Mars on a home being repaired and renovated through the Greater Los Angeles Area's "A Brush With Kindness" programme.[108] He also supported Habitat for Humanity in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.[109]
Leto has supported Aid Still Required, a non-profit corporation committed to bringing attention and humanitarian aid to areas suffering from natural disasters or human crises.[105] After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he released a book of photographs taken during his trip to the Caribbean country in 2011, in a bid to raise funds for the earthquake-ravaged country.[110] He has connected with and helped various organizations since arriving there, including J/P Haitian Relief Organization.[110] Leto spent a year in Haiti during his childhood, and returned there in January 2011 to "reconnect" with his former home following the tremor of January 2010.[110] On September 30, 2014, Leto hosted the event Haiti: The Journey Is the Destination in New York City, benefitting those affected by the 2010 earthquake in the Caribbean country.[111]

In your Garden
What have you got growing in your garden?I still have hibiscus,Angel trumpet,and a few others.I posted a message on exchanges so take a look.Thank You
Hoo, listing everything in my garden would take a book! I have some hardy hibiscus, iochroma (a member of the same family as angel trumpets, brugs, which I also have, but without a common name I think) a dozen or so different alocasias, colocasias, xanthosomas (elephant ears) a lot of different begonias (I like to collect things, and seldom have more than one of anything!) hmm--different gesneriads. I've been collecting hardy ones lately, and have a number of sinningias and a seemannia (formerly gloxinia) that are doing quite well. And other stuff too--quite a number of things seem to like this weather better than I do at the moment, tho' having them do so well helps me too!
I have Eleanor Tabor indian hawthorne and Pleasant White and Renee Michelle azaleas as foundation plants. Plenty of lantana, a sweet olive shrub, juniper, mexican petunias, and a hydrangea balance out the rest of the front beds. In the back I have plenty of azaleas, more lantana, gazania, hosta, irises, daylilies, and another hydrangea. A few grasses like blue fescue and three large "cabbage" palms.
