Flea mkt finds plus work in progress
Ok first here are my flea mkt finds for Thursday, except the little mushroom in the front was at sa for 50 cents. I don't buy a lot at the flea mkt usually, but all these things were $1 each. I realized when I got home that they hadn't included the first 3 things I found that they were holding. Forgot I was the same person apparently. Oh well. I also bought a book called using feng shui to get rid of clutter, lol. I Love the mushroom s&p s but I want to change the color and use them in the garden. The phone at the back doesn't seem to work unfortunately anything in back of that is not a recent find.
I'm so frustrated, having a hard time with the pics this morning. I just typed a note and it got lost and the pic was sideways anyway. Here is the before and after. I painted the bulb, gluedon half marbles and stones, wrapped a little bit of mightputty around the screw part and painted that. I was inspired to repaint ugly white duck with beady little yellow eyes by susiewants roses darling pitcher with ducklings that she repainted. Its sitting in the stand that santa Joan sent me, but since it has a stem I hpe to find something that fits into to put it out in the garden this spring.
W O W !!!!!!!!! Very creative!!!! What kind of paint do you use to paint a bulb? That looks amazing.
Also love your flea market finds. I have a similar elephant that I made into a tassel. With a bow around his neck to match the fringe on the bottom he would be adorable.
The mushrooms would make very nice potted plant stakes.
What FUN stuff!!!!
Very nice! I wish it were warm enough for yard sales around here, but alas, it's not...haven't had much luck in the TS or FM either since Christmas. I have fun looking at everyone else's hauls though...glad some of you are having great fun! Thanks for sharing with us!
Kathy I bought a bulb yesterday also to do what you done...Great minds I guess...lol..I'm doing mine in mini's and going to attach it to a pole as a mini gazing ball...I love what you done with yours...Love the little quackers on top...
Thank you for your kind words.
I painted the bulb with a special primer for slick surfaces (bulls eye 1 2 3 Stain killer which is what I happened to have on hand.) Then with regular acrylic craft paints. Hope it holds up! Thought about grouting it but decided it would be too hard. I probably should have painted the ducky first with the same primer but didn't think of it and only sanded. I just couldn't get the paint to stick to his tail and remembered I have a bottle of ceramic paint so he has dark purple tail feathers, lol. I used Rustoleum painters touch crystal clear finish for the first time. Its supposed to be uv resistant and for outside, but cleans up with water. Anyone else used it?
Ooooooo, aaaaaaaaaah! Love what you did with the light bulb! I have a burnt out bulb that a friend gave me that is clear. I was wondering if I could drill a hole into the screw-in part and pour paint into it. But I like your idea better! Love what you did with it! And yes, the little ducky sure does look like goldenpond's Jinxie!
I also like your flea market finds. I can see that pedestal dish looking awesome in a totem. And the mushrooms will look very cute in the garden or in a fairy garden. I am also partial towards the blue ashtray and brown pottery bowl which I'd probably break up for mosaicing. But my favorite is that cute little elephant! I collect them so they are a favorite of mine. Great finds!

We stayed here with our two boys for three nights in October. The price for two rooms per night (connecting) was much more reasonable than anything else we could find in the city at this comfort level.
The staff was super friendly and the rooms were clean, hip and reasonably well appointed.
The dinner in the Italian restaurant in the hotel was surprisingly good, and because it's also a wine bar had a nice selection of Italian wines.
The location is not in the center of the city. So if you're planning to step out the front door of the hotel and into the prime tourist attractions, this isn't the place. However it's well served by excellent public transport with at least 3 tram and 2 bus lines just at the corner. From there it's no more than 10-15 minutes on the bus or tram to just about anywhere you'd want to go in the city but at night be away from the more crowded and sleazy parts of the city.
Onsite parking was a bit pricey.

The Gist
From Our Editors
Inside emBargo, a martini and tapas bar located in downtown Hyannis, servers arrive at lamplit tables with trays of hot and cold small plates, oysters on half shells, and seafood sliders. Each order of tapas resembles a work of art: applewood bacon and arugula add color to a plate of pan-seared scallops, and delicate drizzles of pomegranate molasses sauce spell out the word "Art!" on the grilled lamb so there's no mistaking what you're seeing. After dining on marinated artichokes wrapped in Serrano ham, diners can sip one of 20 signature martinis while listening to live entertainment, including jazz on Saturday nights and after-hours karaoke on Wednesdays.

Lionsgate Reups Grindstone/Emmett Furla Film Slate Deal
TORONTO - Lionsgate Entertainment has renewed its film slate deal with Grindstone Entertainment Group and Emmett/Furla Films for another 10 movies.
The latest agreement follows the Vancouver-based indie studio releasing four to five films annually under the Lionsgate/Grindstone Entertainment names, including the Bruce Willis-starrer Set Up, the crime drama Freelancers, starring Robert DeNiro and Forrest Whitaker, and the serial killer thriller The Frozen Ground, starring Nicolas Cage and John Cusack.
"Grindstone has been an important supplier of content for our filmed entertainment business in recent years, and their pipeline of commercially exciting, quality films from Emmett/Furla has been a key element of their success," Lionsgate co-COO and motion picture group president Steve Beeks said Thursday.
Next up for a Lionsgate release from the Grindstone/Emmett/Furla collaboration is the crime thriller Empire State, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Liam Hemsworth and Emma Roberts.

Too Close for Comfort?: Conflicts of Interest at a Nonprofit
By Kirk O. Hanson
Jack Carson, executive director of New Chances, a nonprofit housing agency that had built and now managed 15 apartment complexes for low and moderate income residences in the area, was preparing for the organization's bi-monthly board meeting. He was uncertain how to handle two of his board members and their requests. One, a local business owner, had asked Jack for the chance to bid on the electrical contract for the next complex to be built by New Chances. The other, a local church leader, had heard about the first's interest, and urged Jack to press for a policy that no member of the board could have a business relationship of any kind with the organization.
As Jack thought through the dilemma, he realized that the other major electrical contractor in town had not survived the housing bust and was now out of business. There were smaller firms but he was not sure any of them had done a project as large as this. Secondly, he realized the husband of one of the other board members owned a large office supply store where New Chances bought all of its supplies, and the son of yet another was an executive with the maintenance company that serviced New Chances' properties.
Where should New Chances draw the line in contracting with board members and their families?
Kirk Hanson is the executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. This case was presented to the American Leadership Forum and to MBA students in SCU's Leavey School of Business.

If I make this again I will stream the broccoli instead of cooking it in the wok, I felt that the broccoli was a little limp. Also it doesn't need as much liquid because it took too long for it to get absorbed. But I did like the taste and will make it again with my own spin.
I love this recipe! It's a little time consuming, but worth it. Even my picky sons love it. I usally triple this recipe and portion the leftovers out for easy lunches. On step 3, I only cook the broccoli for 1 or 1 1/2 minutes because I find it gets a little soggy if I cook it for 3 minutes since it cooks further while the sauce is thickening. This recipe is one of my staples when I'm REALLY on-plan.
This was a delicious dinner, we enjoyed it with rice and a salad. Even my picky son ate the beef! Once I prepped the ingredients it came together very easily and quickly. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. I'll file this for our dinner rotation.
Second time in two weeks I've mad this! LOVE IT!

Every Child Ready to Read Workshop
A three-part workshop will be held on
Thursdays @ 6:30
April 9, 16, 23, 2015
(parents & kids)
to stop by the Star Branch or call to register
Every Child Ready to Read Family Workshops is a program that involves young children (ages birth to 6) and their parents/caregivers in learning the early literacy skills that help to prepare children for reading success in school.
During the three weekly shared story times, different early literacy skills will be highlighted during a 45-minute story time. Parents will
· Have a chance to practice the skills with their child.
· Take home a book to keep and read with their child.
· Learn fun interactive activities and practical tips to use at home.
· Hear about what schools expect from children entering kindergarten.
By the end of the three-week session, each family will have received great books, a book bag, other story time materials, and great information to help prepare their children for school!
Beyond the Book Book Discussion
Join us for a discussion of Jan Karon's delightful At Home in Mitford at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 11th.
"It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives."
You can pick up a copy of the book behind the counter at Star Branch Library.

English club euro exile 'unthinkable'
ESPN Staff
October 2, 2012
The six English teams vying for the Heineken Cup this year © PA Photos
The Heineken Cup organisers have claimed that it would be "almost unthinkable" to have a European tournament without English clubs.
The future of Europe's premier tournament is uncertain with the current format of the Heineken Cup coming to an end in 2014. English and French clubs have already served their notice to European Cup Rugby Ltd (ERC) citing an unfair qualification process which they deem to be weighted in favour of the RaboDirect PRO12 sides. This prompted fears that the two parties - Premiership Rugby representing the English clubs and the Ligue Nationale de Rugby looking after the Top 14 - would form a breakaway tournament.
These fears were further amplified when Premiership Rugby brokered their own television deal with BT Vision for rights to their team's European matches away from the collective ERC deal with Sky Sports. The ERC was infuriated and subsequently announced a renewal of its television rights deal with Sky Sports. And the divide was further widened between English clubs and the rest of Europe when the body in charge of French clubs voiced its support for a pan-European tournament and rejected any notion of an Anglo-French tournament. This sparked rumours that England could turn to South Africa to form an alternative Cup.
With European rugby facing an uncertain future, the ERC has held meetings with the six Unions in the Heineken Cup and those talks will continue next week. ERC chief executive Derek McGrath has hinted that European rugby's governing body would be open to some sort of compromise to prevent the English clubs from pulling out of Europe.
"It is almost unthinkable that could happen," McGrath said. "I think everyone knows how important the tournament has become in every single country. It (having English teams pull out) is not something we are focused on in any way.
"We have a two-year notice period for a reason, which is to allow us to understand where we might be going to. That is an open opportunity to allow people to understand what we might do differently."

We're Still Figuring Out What A Rabbi Looks Like
After you read this paragraph, close your eyes for a minute and picture a rabbi.
Where is this rabbi?
What is the rabbi wearing?
What is this rabbi doing?
And finally… was that rabbi you pictured a man, or a woman?
When I asked this series of questions at a Sisterhood Shabbat service a few weeks ago in Mississippi, more than half the congregants said they pictured a male rabbi. This was not surprising to me. Men filled this role for hundreds of years, and the idea of a male rabbi is part of our tradition. But it is also important for us to consider the role women have in leading our communities and embrace them as leaders. I will go ahead and tell you right now that I am especially invested in this conversation, because I plan to enroll in rabbinical school and hope to serve as a congregational rabbi.
When I spoke on this topic at Sisterhood Shabbat, I called on the congregation to empower women as leaders in the Jewish community. I was especially adamant that women rabbis receive equal pay, which is not yet a reality.[1] These sentiments were mostly well-received, as I believe they would be in many congregations I visit. Most people have adjusted to the idea that women can be rabbis and that they should be treated with respect, but some communities are not quite sure how to do that.
In my travels across the South I have come across some interesting questions related to the role of women as rabbis. One thing I have found very interesting is the Name Question. As in, should rabbis be addressed as "Rabbi (last name)?" "Rabbi (first name)?" Just by a first name? I have met rabbis who employ each of these combinations and their reasons for doing so are compelling. Those who choose to go by their first names do so because it creates a closer relationship and allows them to do more sincere pastoral care. At the same time, calling clergy by their title and last name is a tradition which many people feel is a necessary sign of respect. I think there is an added layer of nuance for female rabbis, who might struggle to command an appropriate level of respect and who might choose to go by their last names to help with this issue.
Speaking of what to call someone, people in the communities I visit are often riveted by the question of what to call a woman rabbi's husband in place of "rebbetzin," the Yiddish word used for a rabbi's wife. Some suggestions I have gathered include rebbetz-bro, rebbetz-him,[2] rebbetz-sir, and "the luckiest man in the world." These questions and related suggestions are funny, but they also show that the concept of a woman rabbi is still relatively fresh, and we still have some details to work out.
Being an ISJL Education Fellow has prepared me for some of the challenges I expect to face as a young female rabbi. You might be shocked to learn that teachers, directors, and congregants are not always excited to take advice or direction from a 23-year-old. I have been learning to present myself in a dynamic, professional way that convinces these people to take me seriously despite my age. I expect the strategies I have learned to cope with this issue will be useful as I go forward. Being a Fellow has also confirmed for me how much I love to help Jewish communities grow to their fullest potential and how much I do, in fact, want to be a rabbi.
When I close my eyes, I can even picture it.

Two Mississippi Rabbis Will Shave for the Brave
My Mississippi rabbinical colleague Rabbi Debra Kassoff and myself will both be making a bold statement this spring; more accurately, we'll be making a bald statement.
As you may be aware, during this past year a young boy year fought a brave battle with cancer, and lost. His name was Samuel Sommer, affectionately known as "Superman Sam," and his Mom, Rabbi Phillis Sommer, decided to document the family's experience through a blog as they fought their way through life. He became an internet sensation, being sent on trips, dealing with hospital visits, and facing the potential end of his life. First the blog was created, but it caught fire and not only were social media sites, but actual news sites were covering his story.
I first became aware of this when people began to change their profile picture to the icon of Superman. A comic book aficianado, I immediately took notice. Then, my staff brought something to my attention that I hadn't yet seen. St. Baldrick's, an organization that raises money for children's cancer research, was having an event… for Rabbis. It is called 36 Rabbis Shave for the Brave, and I signed up. At an annual convention for Rabbis, at least 36 rabbis will be shaving their head to raise money for these kids as well as to show support for their brave fight.
The shave will take place at the CCAR Convention in Chicago on April 1. Following the shave, I'll share some more of my thoughts on the experience, here on the Southern & Jewish blog. For now, you can visit http://bit.ly/36rabbis to make a donation to St. Baldrick's in memory of Samuel Sommer, and support Rabbi Kassoff, my other rabbinic colleagues, and me, as we prepare to go bald for children and a brighter, healthier future.

A Whipping Man Seder
The Whipping Man, by playwright Matthew Lopez, depicts an amazing historical convergence: the Civil War's end, this nation's long path of freedom and equality's beginning, as well as the observance of Passover. And resting behind the curtain of promise for the things to come are the shackles of the past for the three characters of Lopez's play: Caleb, the Jewish Confederate soldier returning home, and Simon and John, two newly-freed-men, once owned by Caleb's family and still living in the family home.
The actors portraying these three men were at my seder experience last week, along with their director, Francine Thomas Reynolds, and two additional crew members. Francine had reached out to me and other members of the Jewish community of Jackson when New Stage Theatre announced that they would be presenting the play to the community. She was aware of the sensitivity of the play's subject and wished to not only approach it with care but also to use it as an opportunity to engage in transformative conversations.
Some of those conversations started around our seder table at New Stage Theatre, as we interrupted the story of the Israelite's freedom from Egypt to point out how the themes present back then were also present in the aftermath of the Civil War (depicted in the play), and – frankly – are still present with us today. These conversations, however, left us asking questions: "Who are our Pharaohs today? Who or what is holding us back from realizing our better selves? And, who is our Moses? Do we need a Moses?
These questions are some of the ones raised in this moving and thought-provoking play The Whipping Man. If you are in the Jackson area between now and March 9, I highly recommend that you come to partake of this unique, dramatic Passover experience. Certainly, you'll leave inspired to address the challenges and answer the fundamental questions of our time!
"The Whipping Man" runs through this weekend. For more information about getting tickets, go to: www.newstagetheatre.com.

Bibi has alienated more people around the world, including old friends, than any leader in Israeli history. His address to Congress is just one example. Another was choosing Ron Dermer, ex-Republican operative, as ambassador to Washington. How many Democrats does Bibi want to estrange?
Netanyahu's ongoing Congressional speech fiasco is only the most recent example, whereby he has weakened Israeli security on multiple fronts. In choosing to publicly challenge President Obama on his home turf, the Prime Minister has further eroded their personal relationship -- a feat that seemed nearly impossible.
Although it has possessed nuclear weapons for more than half a century, Israel still refuses to own up to that fact, and the United States blandly continues to go along with that fiction.
To House Democrats, Democratic Senators, your taxpaying constituents pay your salaries for you to show up. Whatever you think of the man, you need to honor and respect his office.
Netanyahu's speech may be evidence of hubris run amok on his part, but it is also a vivid illustration of the pervasive and destructive rise of partisanship in American politics over the last few decades.
"So let me put you on the spot," I said, "Imagine an Israeli government to your liking after the elections. What strategy would you have it pursue? "
After consulting with my colleagues, my staff, my family, and my conscience, I will regretfully not be attending the address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the House Chamber on Tuesday.
The story as handed down appears in the biblical Book of Esther. The setting was ancient Persia, probably 2400 years ago. The Jewish minority was well assimilated, but viciously hated by some, including a powerful minister of state named Haman.
The ad that Shmuley Boteach financed in the paper was a deliberate and scathing affront on her dignity. She doesn't deserve that.
Opinion can change, particularly as an event draws closer, so looking at polls of Israeli opinion in January and February may be misleading. That said, available polls show that while almost half of Israeli's oppose Netanyahu's address to Congress, the vast majority also say that it will not impact their decision at the voting box.
The neocon crowd -- including Netanyahu -- insist that Iran agree to terms that they know would never be accepted by the Tehran government. That's because they don't want a negotiated deal; they want the U.S. to launch a military strike against Iran that would effect "regime change." This is exactly the same line of argument that led the U.S. into the Iraq quagmire.
Even an imperfect agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program is pretty much the only game in town, and Netanyahu and his allies in Congress need to get used to it. And while the U.S. is dispensing tough love, perhaps it should consider whether Israeli intransigence in settling the Israeli-Palestinian territorial dispute is being encouraged by more than $3 billion in annual aid.
Netanyahu and his backers in Congress are an existential threat to the independence of American foreign policy.
For all his protestations that he arrives today in Washington on a grave mission vital to Israel's national security, Benjamin "Mr. Security" Netanyahu has more on his mind than merely scuttling President Obama's incubating nuclear agreement with Iran.
Well, the Republicans are, if anything, even more conservative now. They've also won back both the House and the Senate. After six years of the "game-changing" Barack Obama presidency, the game has changed, all right.

"2 star no more"
This hotel did not have air conditioning, nor hot tea/coffee in room. Bed was hard flat as were the pillows. The shower head was weak and dated and the whole bathroom needs updating. The molding around the room entrance door was falling off. Tried the breakfast one morning, bad coffee, milk bad. Overall would not return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome view"
It was hard to get there from the train station because we didn't know you can take the bus which drops you right at the corner... The hotel is on a cliff so ten view is fantastic! The room was very spacious and clean, the only inconvenience is that at night you can only eat in the hotel restaurant because there is nothing else around, and the food […] was not impressive but extremely pricey!

"Didn't meet expectations."
Unfortunately we did not feel this hotel lived up to it's expectations. We ended up not staying there as it was not what we wanted when we booked it. It is in Meta, a few km outside Sorrento. It did not appear to us to have many nearby bars or restaurants. The beach below looked fine but very busy. The pool was small but looked fine and there were tables […] outside on a terrace, but in the kind of courtyard of the hotel so no views. Our room was an economy double, but in a 4 star (?) hotel we thought this would be fairly nice. The room was a disappointment. The bed seemed fine but the bathroom was grubby and the shower was the smallest I've ever been in and leaked onto the bathroom floor. The room felt more like a hostel than a hotel. Usually this kind of room wouldn't bother us but as we had splashed out for the last couple of days of our holiday to stay in a 4 star hotel we expected much more. The communal areas looked alright. Staff were a bit defensive at first but then booked us a taxi etc. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Really enjoyable stay"
12/25/14 A TripAdvisor Member
I do not usually write reviews but I feel obligated to do it by the amount of fake bad comments: 1: unfriendly and blunt personnel. Not at all true. I happen to have stayed for a whole week and been attended by all of the receptionists, neither one of them made me uncomfortable. Franco is a nice old school receptionist who was always giving me good advice and even cared about my safety/well being (he was doing the night shift often and I happen to be going out when busses weren't running ;)). I think those who didn't like Franco caught him on a very very bad hair day. Pasquale, the young chubby guy, was also ok, maybe just a medller by birth. Teo, my favorite: always well prepared, ready to give info, suggestions, good advice and always smiling. So... No rude men behind the counter. 2. Cleaning couldn't be better, all maids clean thoroughly. I always found my room cleaned, spotless sheets (of course they don't change sheets daily, dahh, every two-three days), towels even if they are not thick dry perfectly good due to the fabric. Svetlana is one of the maids, she's great, never woke me up, just came back in the afternoon. 3. Food. That's tough: dinner is great, you can pick what you want to eat out of three daily options (they do not repeat but pasta is eaten a lot in Italy so you will find each night one different pasta dish). Honestly I am not a fanatic of their breakfast (different tastes) but I never found out of date ham or cheese, that review is simply unfair, there are always croissants, pastery products, milk, coffe, tea, toasted bread, fresh small buns, butter and jam(not limited to one piece) and yes: juice is not natural and coffe is boiled, not espresso. For espresso and fresh orange juice you can order extra at the table or go by the bar in the hotel's lobby. Not responding to criticism but agreeing on a point: the views are stunning from the sea-view rooms ( not my case though, I would have had to pay extra 20 euros and I'm only 26 so I guess you got the point) and from the terrace in front of the hotel, there is also the hotel's rooftop terrace which you can use to watch the lights of the Sorrento peninsula peacefully. Yes! It is family owned and runned but that is one of it's charms, they put more passion in it.

"wonderful hospitality and atmosphere"
10/04/14 Helen_1007S Modena, Italy
I discovered this fine hotel thanks to the recommendation of two friends and must say that my time there was a great pleasure. The room was bright, spotlessly clean and had a spectacular view of the water. The hotel was crowded with large groups, but I always felt that the staff had time to answer my questions and went out of their way to be courteous. One thing I always notice as a single woman traveller is how the restaurant treats me. Panorama's was great! Because of the large groups, dinner time could have been very noisey and hurried. Instead, I was given a peaceful table near a window and was able to relax and enjoy the food. Risotto Sorrentino style was fantastic! WiFi is available in the reception areas, not in the rooms, but that was ok, because the reception areas face the sea. Panorama also has a terrific outdoor terrace bar for the aperitif hour. Highly relaxing! I would definitely return, and have already told several friends about this hotel. By the way, Meta is an excellent place to stay if you want to be near the sea while avoiding the crowds of Sorrento and Naples.

This hotel was awful! Just plain and simple. Staff were rude, air con (if you can even call it that) only turned on from 4pm to 7am. Hardly any hot water for a shower. No safe, no water in room you had to pay for water and also (quote from reception) "go get it yourself from the bar downstairs" no customer service from this hotel at all,Single beds when we paid for a double bed and requested one. Food wasn't the best and pretty expensive. Only good thing about the hotel is the view from the room and honestly you can get the view from any hotel. Overall worst experience I've ever had from a hotel, you guys either need to sort out your staff and customer service or maybe you shouldn't be running a hotel in the first place.

"Great view"
08/15/14 Nicolai B Copenhagen, Denmark
We stayed at Panorama Palace in july, and we spent some of our time on one of the small terraces located on the third floor, where we played cards and talked while looking at a good view of the city and the nearby Mountains. From our Premium rooms also located on the third floor, we had an amazing seaview. In general the staff of the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was not very far from the beach, which was a paid beach, and somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes from the train station. All in all we had a wonderful vacation in Meta.

"No Air conditioning and rude night staff"
08/11/14 CHAWL18 London, United Kingdom
Good location with sea views, generous sized rooms and friendly day staff. Very rude and unfriendly night staff called Franco. Air conditioning in the room is ineffective and turned off completely at 7.30 am every morning- there is no warning of this anywhere!!! You need fans in the rooms to cool down. When we asked Franco at night for the fan he refused to help and was very rude in his demeanour. Breakfast is poor quality and value with limited choice - Ham appeared grey and stale to say the least. We had to pay 10 Euros per night for parking in hotel. They don't even give you a free bottle of water- charged 1.50 euros per bottle- very expensive. Meta beach is private and small but full of frienly locals. Close to hotel is a fantastic restaurant called Bar Antoinette, super food, reasonably priced, family run and friedly.

"Bad Choice!"
07/30/14 Annonymous A Basingstoke, United Kingdom
Checked in to this hotel a week back, outside looks good and the lobby is nice. The staff were brilliant and the food was okay but very limited choice at breakfast. Entered the room on the first day, there was one working plug socket which later stopped working resulting to use the shaver plug in the bath room. Cleaner didn't replace sheets but just made the beds with the same covers. The towels were very thin and wouldn't dry you enough. The view outside was amazing and you had a panorama view by the hotels outside bar. Overall the stay was fairly poor and i wouldn't stay again.

"Incredible location!"
01/10/14 NinjaPrincess2014 Shanghai, China
My friends and I stayed here near the end of the summer. Perched high up on a hillside in Meta di Sorrento, overlooking the water, this hotel was a wonderful surprise. The rooms were more spacious than any others that I have encountered in most modest budget hotels in Europe. The air conditioning was on and cold, and the water was calling to us from below. If you walk down the switchback road from the hotel, you end up in a great little black sand cove perfect for swimming and relaxing. We ate dinner in the hotel twice and were pleased with our meals both times. All in all, this is a wonderful find located close enough to larger towns to be accessible, but removed enough to feel relaxing.

"Great Views, Short stays only"
09/22/13 Richard S Peterborough, United Kingdom
Its in Meta which can be ideal depending on what you want from your holiday but for us Sorrento would have been the ideal choice as all transfers, trips, restaurants and shops are in Sorrento. Meta has a beach and cafe, restaurant, and a few shops, train station and bus services but expect to walk. The bus service to and from Sorrento is unreliable and only runs to approx.10.20pm, taxis are expensive approx. 35 Euros from Sorrento to Meta, walking takes 45mins to an hour and they don't favour foot paths. I recommend the cafe just down from the hotel, value for money, very friendly and polite and tasty food. Any meal in Meta/Sorrento seemed to be approx. 10 Euros per person and alcoholic drink 6-7 euros but the measures are generous. Be careful when booking trips from Sorrento as they generally only include the transfer/tour in the price, admissions to sites and lunch etc...are additional. As for the hotel, its good for a few days pit stop. Positives Superb view with a sea view room, spacious and clean. Extended check out time by 1-2hrs on day of departure. Negatives The hotel manager seemed friendly and helpful but rarely seen, all other staff barely smile, welcome or seem friendly. The breakfast options are limited as is the hot water for shower. It says the hotel has airport shuttle but we had to sort our own transfers. The air con didn't work in any of the rooms. We had ants and noise from the square out the front (sea view rooms) goes on until early hours of the morning 4.30am-5am, but quiet during the day. No sun loungers allowed by the pool, and small pool.

"Very beautiful Panorama, but try to avoid beaches in Summer"
08/20/13 BAC6815 Lugano
We stayed in this hotel just for One night, as we wanted to see beaches near Sorrent and Napoli, the Hotel is a little old-fashioned, family run and may need modernisation. The staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast only up to 09.30, but quite reasonable for Italian Standards. We were disappointed by the beaches, totally overcrowded with THOUSANDS of tourists and locals on less then 600meters of Beach, very commicialized. Better avoid the beaches in August (Summer Time is Italian Main Season) - Black sand, not by clean, entrance Fee expensive, (30 Euros for 2 persons for 2 Sinnes and 1 umbrella). The really best is the view from the Hotel and the Piazza outside, try to get a Rom with Sea view (about 20 euros more then Standard room). The Pool inthe Hotel is too small (just 4 x 4 Meters).

Some county pastors, public servants and restaurateurs oppose the restaurants' selling alcohol, and some have written to the ABC asking that the permits be denied. Others have said the restaurants, which would be part of a 20,000-SF shopping center, would benefit the Jonesboro economy.
ABC Director Robert Moore says he often denies permits in controversial cases, allowing applicants to appeal the decision to the five-member ABC Board at a public hearing 30 days later. Staffers at the ABC say the applicants will receive letters notifying them of Moore's decision, after which the restaurants' have 15 days to appeal. If the restaurants appeal, the board will make a final decision at a public hearing Dec. 15.
Chili's and Outback have said they won't come to Jonesboro if they can't serve alcohol.
Chili's Grill & Bar, which is owned by Dallas-based Brinker International Inc., has 636 locations in 46 states. Brinker operates five Chili's Grills in Arkansas in Fayetteville, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Fort Smith and Rogers. Chili's has two locations in Memphis, about an hour southeast of Jonesboro.
Tampa, Fla.-based Outback Steakhouse Inc. operates 540 Outback locations in 47 states. In Arkansas, the chain has Outbacks in Springdale, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Hot Springs and Fort Smith. Outback also has a restaurant at Memphis.
Before year's end, Outback will have added 12 restaurants in states like California, Texas, Georgia and Alabama.

First time's the charm for Miss Jefferson County Fair
By DAVE MCMILLION
August 18, 2008
LEETOWN, W.Va. -- The first time was a charm for Jennifer Paige Jones. Jones won the Miss Jefferson County Fair contest Sunday night and she said it was her first time entering such an event. Jones said her grandmother was a big fan of the contest. "I figured I might as well give it a shot. It was my last year," Jones said. Jones is 18, the oldest a contestant can be in the pageant. Jones, a sophomore at Shepherd University, is the daughter of Loretta and John Paul Jones of Charles Town, W.Va.
Franklin County Fair attendance appeared higher this year
August 29, 2011
Franklin County (Pa.) Fair officials are compiling data from last week's fair, but they expect they reached the 20,000 visits of an average year. The total number of visitors will be finalized by midweek, Fair Board chairman Robert Eckstine said Sunday. "Things went pretty well until Saturday night when we were rained out," Eckstine said. The fair, which was held from Aug. 21 to 27, switched to a $10-per-carload fee this year, rather than per-person admission. Eckstine said revenue was down, but attendance appeared to be up. "The food stands seemed to have more revenue," he said.

The weeklong event at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds near Charles Town draws as many as 35,000 visitors, said Locke Wysong, publicity committee member. "It's still family-oriented; it's still volunteer-run; and it still holds, after 52 years, its roots of agriculture and community," Wysong said.

LEETOWN, W.Va. - Thunderstorms are rolling through, turning the Jefferson County Fairgrounds into mud. Wrong night to go to the fair? Not if you're heading to the demolition derby. The popular event went on as planned Monday night, despite a storm that moved through the county earlier in the evening then again during the event. Several hundred people turned out to see the cars struggle through the mess. It was a slow-going process as the cars tried to gain traction in the mud to ram their colleagues and knock them out of the action.
Consider a visit to Ag Expo
July 21, 2006
If you don't have much occasion to leave Washington County, you just might take the area's natural beauty for granted. But as those who commute to the metropolitan areas can tell you, if there's any open space down there, it's either a crowded county park, or the private lawn of some corporation's headquarters. It's only when you come west across South Mountain that you routinely see working farms with real livestock in the pastures and crops growing in the fields. There are noises and smells associated with these activities, but compared to what city dwellers face - the roar of thousands of engines and the smell of air pollution - this area is indeed blessed.

The tension was enough to send Sandy Mason sprinting from her sideline seat. "I can't stand it," she declared, flying down the steps from the stands. Maybe it was the crunching metal. Or the flying bumpers. The annual Washington County Ag Expo was off to a roaring start Friday with a demolition derby at the Washington County Agricultural Education Center.
Fun (and work) continues at Jefferson County Fair

August 19, 2003
email@example.com LEETOWN, W.Va. - Jefferson County Fair fans who were lucky enough to get some time away from work Monday afternoon were in for a relaxing time at the beef judging contest. It was practically perfect fair weather. The sun was out, but not overbearing, and a cool, shady seat could be found in the barn for the Beef Showmanship and Judging. The event was a culmination of months spent raising beef cattle. Youths like 15-year-old Warren Cogle often juggle school work with the responsibilities of raising livestock.

and PAD is redefined even though it is equal to 3 after the first definition. However if I explicitly define it as 3 then it isn't redefined. Therefore I assume there is a problem with the way I have written the expression, but I'm not sure what.

But first…
(-: original image source unknown)
(-: original image source unknown)
Odd as it may seem…
Someone figured out that Dolly Parton's hit song "Jolene" (from her 1973 album with the same name) sounds unexpectedly good when slowed down from 45 rpm to 33 rpm. Parton has said the inspiration for this song came from a redheaded bank teller who she believed charmed her husband… (ear-worm warning).
My kid brother, John Paul Peters, is a music producer and sound engineer. Here's his explanation:
"Dolly Parton has a very short throat. Her vocal sounds quite nasal by any standards and so when you drop the pitch and speed of the song it sounds like a guy would sound naturally. Usually, when you drop the speed and pitch of the song it sounds unnaturally deep, but, since Dolly Parton has such a small throat and quick vibrato, her texture works fine and she actually sounds plausibly male!"

Shenzhen, China
One of 2014's highlights for me was to participate in The Look of Silk, (The First Session of Cross Strait Silk Culture and Creativity Forum and International Silk Creative Design Expo) sponsored by China Tong Yuan Co., Ltd., Shenzhen China Silk Park, and the Taiwan Cultural and Creative Industry Association.
As one of "eight internationally renowned designers" I was invited to design a pattern for silk scarves, participate in the 5-day event in Shenzhen, and to give a keynote address. A design team from Taiwan was commissioned to develop 80 different silk products using our designs, "creating a systematically multicultural design integrating multiple aspects."
The Look of Silk plans to "keep alive the spirit of traditional Chinese culture and the international role played by silk in the past, while creating a brand image and market orientation for Chinese silk" by means of innovative creative activities.
I recently received images from the organizers of my silk design applied to various products (from bed linens to ties, cushions, padded laptop cases, and other fashion accessories). Shown above is a small sampling… my original design was in oranges and reds, but the product design team decided to also iterate it in blue and green.
Click on the image below or here for a larger view of my silk pattern design (135mm x 135mm) entitled Occidental Habitué. Details of the design can be viewed at my original blog post, here.
Occidental Habitué
Thousands of icons, images, and visual impressions cross our consciousness daily, weaving rich cultural narratives and imbuing meaningful memories. As travellers, émigrés, and nomads in a shrinking world we wrap ourselves in layers of sensuous, intertwined experience.
My concept involves the creation of an intentionally layered, quirky, and semi-random collage, providing unexpected juxtapositions that draw in the viewer and then reward curiosity with serendipitous surprises of simultaneity. Ancient meets modern, complex collides with simple, small bests large.
Luminous color acts as a background for layered, multidirectional, copyright-free imagery from earlier eras — visual ephemera, linear diagrams, Victorian etchings, old prints, ornaments, printers' spot illustrations, ad cuts, and clip art — from ancient cave paintings to art deco elements, from flora and fauna to whimsical human inventions.
As if floating above this nuanced visual composition, a repeating directional diamond pattern of contemporary symbols and info-graphic icons (from The Noun Project, an online "visual language" resource of icons created by a global community) lends added dimension, with icons varying in color in a top-to-bottom gradation, complementary to the hue of the background.
A symbol of the globe glows in the fabric's center.

Congratulations to dear friend Suchot Sunday, first-place winner of the 2014 poetry writing contest sponsored by the Winnipeg Free Press and the Writers' Collective of Manitoba.
(somewhere in the post-apocolyptic North)
"When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor. An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian)."
"Lessons on language families are often illustrated with a simple tree diagram that has all the information but lacks imagination. There's no reason linguistics has to be so visually uninspiring. Minna Sundberg, creator of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent, a story set in a lushly imagined post-apocalyptic Nordic world, has drawn the antidote to the boring linguistic tree diagram."

Dallas Mavericks (7-7) at Philadelphia 76ers (8-6), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Dallas Mavericks begin a two-game road trip on Tuesday
night when they head to the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia
The Mavs have lost six of their last nine, including a home drubbing at the
hands of the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, 115-89. Dallas will play 16 of
its next 23 on the road with five of the next six away from home.
The last appearance at home certainly won't make Mavs fans miss them.
The Lakers led by 13 after the opening quarter and extended the cushion to 27
at halftime. Dallas showed little fight in the second half and no one was
pleased after that debacle.
"It was disgusting. It's disappointing for our fans what kind of game that
was," said Elton Brand, who will return to Philadelphia for the first time
after the Sixers amnestied him this past offseason. "We know how bad they
wanted this game. We should have wanted it as bad as they wanted it and we
didn't come with it."
The Lakers scored 67 points by the half and that shouldn't be too surprising.
The Mavericks rank 28th in opponents' scoring, but are sixth in scoring. Los
Angeles shot 48.8 percent from the field and Mavs' coach Rick Carlisle
emphasized defense at practice.
Defense tends to look better against the 76ers, who are fifth-to-last in the
NBA in scoring.
Philly rebounded from back-to-back losses with a 104-101 victory Sunday over
the Phoenix Suns at home. The Sixers have lost two in a row twice before the
most recent streak, and after both of those two-game setbacks, the Sixers
rattled off three wins in a row.
The Sixers, who are 5-4 at home this season, were led by Jrue Holiday on
Sunday. He established a new career high with 33 points, but also dished out
13 assists and committed only two turnovers.
"Thank God Jrue was on today," head coach Doug Collins said Sunday night. "He
was fantastic."
Holiday is third in the league in assists with 9.2 per game and his scoring is
up to 18.6 ppg, which ranks 19th in the league. What's plagued him has been
the turnovers and he still leads the NBA with 4.3 per game.
But Holiday has to be considered for his not just his first All-Star
appearance, but maybe the Most Improved Player award.
The Sixers as a team only committed eight turnovers on Sunday night and shot a
decent 48 percent from the field. They shot a fantastic 47.4 percent from the
3-point line, highlighted by a 3-for-5 night from Evan Turner.
The Mavericks, who play in Chicago on Wednesday night, have won 10 of their
last 12 against the 76ers, including two in a row in Philadelphia.

Jet Set Knit 3/4-Sleeved Ballet-Neck Tunic 54 55
Ordering a 2nd Tunic I own this tunic in Navy and like it so much that today I am ordering one in black. It is comfortable, never wrinkles, looks great with jeans or with dressy pants/skirts. I wish there were more colors to choose from. March 7, 2015
Needed a tunic I had bought the print tunic and loved it. So I ordered the taupe tunic. The fit was a bit smaller than the print one but it will work with the leggings. Unfortunately, it was wrinkled in the package and despite two washings, the wrinkles are still there. It means ironing is in my future. Hope all works out as I had planned on taking this on a lengthy trip to Europe. So far the print is leading the pack! February 28, 2015
Good quality but the petite was more like a short dress than a tunic. (I am 5'3"). Turquoise is a lovely color and would probably work well for traveling, but alas, due to the length, I must return it. February 27, 2015
This is gorgeous. This fabric is wonderful - so comfortable, never wrinkles, drapes beautifully. Substantial weight, yet not heavy. Outstanding quality. Colors are beautiful. January 20, 2015
Too Long I have this tunic in Sand, but when I ordered the same tunic in Black it came three inches longer, and even after washing it remained long. So, for you gals who are taller you will love it, if you are 5'2" or under it will be more like a dress. . really disappointed in the difference between the one I ordered earlier and this one. December 13, 2014
Great style if only it fit properly The slim slacks fit perfectly and was so excited when the top came as it was back-ordered until next January. HOWEVER.... the sleeves are slim to tight, and the top overall, is about a size slimmer than pictured, so it does not loosely drape as shown in the picture. Top quite snug and slightly gapping around the hips so is not as long. What a shame, as it would have been the perfect outfit. Am not returning it as the next size up is not available and I need some sort of outfit--- who could have guessed. I went by the size chart and it didn't run true. Rather disappointing, as the fabric and design are great....just too snug to be dressy as advertised. The lightweight fabric does NOT drape gracefully. August 12, 2014
Bought a Petite and it worked fine They did not have my size so I bought one size larger in Petite and it worked wonderfully for a work tunic - not too long but did drape softly and minimize my tummy! July 31, 2014
Versatile Can go from casual with variety of slacks, to outfit with matching slacks, casual jewelry to dressy with accessory change. July 26, 2014

Should we buy this house?
Short and sweet:
House is built on a slab
ph of water is 6.1
House was built in 1970
Considering the ph and the pipes being in the foundation, what are the chances of a slab leak? How would we even know? How much could it potentially cost to fix?
Slab foundations are uncommon in NJ, so we don't know anyone (including the house inspector) who has any experience with slab issues. I was on-board to buy the house, but the water ph scared the socks off me. Justifiably so or no?
I would be concerned about the pipes. Consult a plumbing contractor and find out how much it would cost you to replumb the whole house. That is the amount you are risking. Make sure you can afford twice that amount, then decide if you want the house.
Here in Texas we can have a static water leak test done to see if there is a leak in the supply lines within and under the slab. They put a pressure reading gauge on the line, shut the water off at the street, ensure all fixtures are off and sees if the lines hold pressure over a period of time. Cost approximately $200.
6.1 doesn't seem too high, to me. Around here, below 5 isn't unusual, and a house plumbed with "M" wall copper (worst case) would have had pinholes after 20 years...that place is over 40. You could ask for a section of easily accessed pipe to be autopsied. Corrosion will be obvious.
I'd be more concerned about slab construction in your location. It CAN be done well in the north, but 1970 seems like the dark ages for that.
OTOH, re-plumbing the place with slab would be fairly easy, and other concerns could be addressed at the same time.
But it isn't a hassle-free purchase.

Sad story of frosted glass tile. Can it be given a happy ending?
Hi All:
I have posted this question in the Remodel forum as well. Hope that's OK (and thanks to those who have responded there)!
Our contractor installed about 50 sq. ft. of Akdo glass tile (Frosted Seashell, 1" x 6" 'bricks') on our kitchen wall, using a standard unsanded cementitious grout. It looked superb. Then he applied sealant, and that is when our troubles began:
First he sprayed on TileLab (HomeDepot's brand) "Grout & Tile Sealer," covering the entire surface (tile as well as grout), and allowed that to dry for 48 hours. The grout looked fine, but the tiles were now covered with streaks of a cloudy film. He tried using dry microfiber cloth to remove this film, without success.
Next, he sprayed the entire surface with TileLab Gloss Sealer and Finish. He told us this would soften the streaky film so that he could remove it. That did not work. And worse, now our beautiful frosted glass tile was no longer frosted. The glass surface is now shiny and the tiles are nearly see-through (no longer translucent).
So our question is: can our (once) beautiful tile be restored?
You can try the johnbridge tile forums.
The short version is find someone who specializes in tile and grout restoration and let them try. Apparently the chemicals used are pretty hazardous. I wasn't able to find any info on the chemicals and potential damage to the tile.
I can tell you your tile turned clear from the gloss sealer and when its removed, it will appear frosted again. And that's all I know.
Oh man. Was this his first time using glass tile?? He should have sealed the grout only (glass is non-porous) with an appropriate applicator. It's time consuming to do it properly, but this is why you (or the people you hire) don't (shouldn't) cut corners.
There is one non-toxic product that might help. He can (and I mean he, not you) try this stuff, made to scrub off sealer from tile. I don't know whether it will work, but I hope so. Removing glass tile is not easy (ask me how I know - better yet, ask me about the surgery I had on my right hand to remove a shard of glass that lodged in my tendon). If it does work, he will then have to seal the grout correctly.
Good luck!

About Me*LOCATION UPDATE: Markham, ON (can travel within the GTA)
Hello beautiful people! My name is Rosita and I am "just a small girl in a big world." I am very passionate towards the arts, and channel my creativity through makeup, hair, artwork, music, and now, modelling. I have always had an interest for modelling, but never took the risk to pursue it. Modelling really sparks my interest, because "a picture is a thousand words" and it is mesmerizing how one picture can depict a story or convey an emotion. I hope to manifest that through my work, so if you're up for it, let's create some stellar shots!
My goal is to produce some epic photos, as well as to grow and develop from my experiences. I believe that everything is a learning opportunity, and modelling is no exception. I also hope to gain insight from the business perspective.
I have a very versatile look/style, which can be changed depending on the project. I am willing to change my hairstyle and hair colour, provided that I am interested in working for that shoot or event. I have had every hair colour in the spectrum, so I am very open. Thanks for checking out my profile and if you are interested in working with me, please give me a shout! :-)
** CURRENT HAIR COLOUR: Dark brown with blonde (see newest photo)
