The Space
This area is just several minutes outside the town of Paquera but both howler and white faced monkeys frequent the property. Over 150 different species of birds including parrots, hummingbirds and cuckoos visit regularly. This new 3 bedroom features an open floor plan with living room, dinette and kitchen all flowing together. A spacious circular patio with a fire pit under the mango tree provides the perfect spot to kick back after a great day at the beach or Los Delfines golf course.
Guest Access
The front yard doubles as a spacious car park large enough for two of the even the biggest vehicles.
Interaction with Guests
A few houses down, our neighbors Henry and Hilda are available to help with any questions you may have about the area. Henry teaches at the college and his English is quite good. Maid service is available at a reasonable rate of $3 an hour and Henry can arrange that for you.
The Neighborhood
This area is still quite quaint and not really changed by the development in other regions of the country. We are in a rural setting but town is just two minutes away! There are a number of beaches with a 10 to 30 minute drive. An absolute must is the night kayak tours to see the plankton bio luminescene in the Playa organos area.Whether it is a more quiet beach or a busier beach with more tourists and shops, you can choose.
Getting around
It helps to rent an SUV but there are a lot of 'taxistas' in town and the rates are very reasonable. Henry will can call them for you and give you a card. The closet airport is Liberia and then a 90 mile drive down the Nicoya peninsula to Paquera. Many quests rent a vehicle in Liberia and return it as they head back to the airport.
Other Things to Note
The best restaurant is in the Hotel Ginana. Try the 'casados'. A ton of food! Also 'Las Vegas' is a typical rancho style restaurant with the best seafood in town. Curu Wildlife Reserve, Isla Tortuga, and Playa Organos are great local gems. Check out the restaurant in Pochote where the river meets the Pacific for some amazing shrimp.
We are in a quiet area and its nice to keep it down after midnight.
One of my favorite places to stay during my entire Costa Rica trip! Michael was delightful and extremely responsive when it came to questions about location and logistics. Though he did not meet my friends and I when we stayed at his home, his housekeeper Nena was exceptional. She met my friends and me at a bank in town, then showed us to the house. The next morning she brought us fruit from a tree in her own yard before bidding us adieu. Clean, comfortable, spacious and located in a relatively quiet neighborhood. Absolutely loved the thoughtful "guide" left inside the house with restaurant recommendations, contact information and a heads up about a local bread truck that stops by every morning. Would highly recommend this location!
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada but I love to spend time in this wonderful part of Costa Rica. My daughter, son in law, and grandson live in the capital, San Jose, so Costa Rica really has become my second home. If you get a chance, please come down and enjoy the house, the area, and the great people of Costa Rica!

Netanyahu Removes the Mask: The Two-State Solution is Dead
by: David Glick on March 27th, 2015 | No Comments »
Prime Minister Netanyahu has finally removed the mask. "If I am elected there will be no Palestinian state," he said in the clearest possible terms. Netanyahu, of course, was merely publicly aligning his words with what have long been his actions. Throughout his entire political career he has done everything possible to thwart the emergence of a viable and sovereign Palestinian state. Furthermore, Netanyahu's barely coded racist remarks about Palestinians "coming out in droves to the polls" demonstrates there is no place for Palestinians in the Israeli Zionist polity.
The two state solution is officially dead and it is time to give it its proper burial. The truth is that under both Likud and Labor governments, negotiations with the Palestinians have long been nothing but a theatrical production as Israel continued to seize more Palestinian land and build more settlements even as it proceeded with the negotiations. Netanyahu is simply acknowledging what has been true of all of Israel's leaders, whether of the right, left, or center. For the past 22 years all have been misleading the world, pretending to seek peace with the Palestinians while pursuing policies to ensure there will never be peace and never be a Palestinian state. Had the Zionist Union prevailed, it would have simply tried to restart the same moribund negotiations that have served as a cover for Israel to talk peace while destroying its prospects by building more colonies.
It is time for American Jews to face the fact that liberal Zionism is nothing but a fiction. It is time to sit shiva to mourn its passing. It is time to confront the fact that a Jewish state that maintains a brutal and illegal 48 year occupation over millions of Palestinians and privileges the rights of its own Jewish citizens above those of its Palestinian citizens is incompatible with any reasonable understanding of liberalism. This latest election was essentially a referendum on the peace process and the two state solution and the outcome was clear. Israelis have rejected both. For American Jews the choice is clear: Israel can either continue to embrace its Zionist underpinning in which case it will remain a Jewish state but not democratic state or it can abandon its Zionist underpinning and become a democratic state but no longer a Jewish state.

Colorado pot legalization advocates won the state-wide war, but the first of the local battles has just begun
February 14, 2014
By Josh Altic
Although 55% of Colorado voters approved Amendment 64 in 2012, legalizing recreational marijuana according to state law, local voters in city and county jurisdictions may have a different majority opinion. In the wake of Amendment 64, the rest of the nation will be watching as local governments throughout Colorado handle statewide legalization. Now that the issue has come to the forefront of politics across the nation, voters will inevitably become directly involved with measures either affirming legal marijuana or seeking to purge it from their communities. Many measures could be in response to municipal laws, which have already begun to spring up in jurisdictions across Colorado. Over 30 city councils and county commissions have already passed ordinances putting a temporary or permanent stop to retail marijuana in their jurisdictions.
These local jurisdictions include:[2]
- Weld County
- Otero County
- Morgan County
- Garfield County
- Fremont County
- El Paso County
- Douglas County
- Cañon City
- Castle Pines City
- Colorado Springs City
- Durango City
- Erie City
- Broomfield City
- Estes Park City
- Fort Collins City
- Fort Morgan City
- Glenwood Springs City
- Grand Junction City
- Greeley City
- Lafayette City
- Lamar City

|Ballot Measures

|Not on ballot
City of Manitou Springs, Colorado
Manitou Springs, Colorado, will feature the first local ballot measure allowing voters to opt out of recreational pot dispensaries. Shortly following the city council's January 22, 2014, approval of an ordinance allowing retail pot dispensaries to operate in the city, the group No Retail Marijuana in Manitou Springs, led by business owner Tim Haas, announced its plan to collect enough signatures for an initiative measure on the November 4, 2014 city ballot. If approved, it would ban retail marijuana dispensaries from the city. The group planned to begin circulating signature petitions to put this measure on the ballot in February 2014 and needs to collect at least 287 valid signatures to qualify its initiative. Backers hope to collect three times the required number before June 1.[3]
Haas expressed concern that having marijuana readily available in the city could be harmful to the tourism industry, which the city enjoys, as prospective tourists would no longer see the city as wholesome or family-friendly. Manitou finance director Rebecca Davis said that about 47 percent of the 2014 general fund is expected to come from tourism-generated taxes. This percentage does not include the projected $506,000 in city revenue by the city from new on-street parking fees.[3]
Haas said, "I think part of Manitou's attractiveness is it's always been an eclectic group. It's an accepting community on a whole variety of different levels, and that's part of the reason that I really like Manitou." He went on to say, "In my opinion, perception is more important than reality. And a lot of potential visitors from out of the state, their perception is this is no longer going to be family friendly."[3]
Those in favor of allowing retail marijuana believe it will actually bring additional tourism to the city, as well as additional tax revenue from the new industry. Such advocates are urging a "no" vote on this measure, which seeks to ban dispensaries from the city. In reaction to the city's ordinance, Bill Conkling, owner of medical marijuana shop Maggie's Farm, said, "I think there will definitely be some tourism with it." Aaron Bowles-Jacks of Manitou Springs was also pleased by the city council decision, saying, "I believe it will be great for Manitou...bring plenty of business to the town, the family businesses, and it will help the schools here."[4]
Looking forward: 2014 and beyond
Even though marijuana is no longer illegal according to state law, Colorado voters, as well as voters throughout other states, can expect to see many initiatives and referred ballot measures nailing down the local stance on recreational cannabis in the near future. To see the details and outcomes of all such ballot measures follow Ballotpedia's comprehensive coverage of this local issue.
This issue has already surfaced in the local jurisdictions of several other states, such as Maine and Wisconsin this year, but with measures seeking to legalize cannabis, rather than prohibit it. A question is also being initiated in the Nation's capitol, where District of Columbia residents may be voting on an initiative to legalize possession and use of up to two ounces of marijuana and cultivation of up to three marijuana plants within the city's limits.
The following measures related to recreational marijuana legalization are planned for 2014:
- Washington D.C. Marijuana Legalization, Initiative 71 (November 2014)
- City of Manitou Springs Retail Marijuana Ban (November 2014)
- City of Lewiston Recreational Marijuana Legalization Measure (November 2014)
- Town of York Recreational Marijuana Legalization Measure (November 2014)
- City of South Portland Recreational Marijuana Legalization Measure (November 2014)
- Dane County State Legalization of Marijuana Referendum (April 2014)
Medical marijuana is also being voted on in the following measures:
- City of Imperial Beach "Compassionate Access Ordinance" Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Act (June 2014)
- City of Napa Medical Marijuana Dispensary Referendum (November 2014)
- City of Riverside Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Initiative (2014)
- City of San Jose Medical Marijuana Regulation Act of 2014 (November 2014)
- Lake County Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance Referendum (June 2014)

No need for gazing into the crystal ball any longer . a new blood test may now tell you how long you will live, as well as how quickly you will age. Discovering a chemical "fingerprint" in the blood, scientists say this may provide clues to an infant's health and rate of aging near the end of life.

Keywords: Birth weight, blood test, chemical fingerprint, study, metabolites
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The discovery raises implications of a simple test at birth that could stave off the ravages of disease in old age, leading to the development of powerful new treatments for age-related conditions such as bone problems and heart disease.
Researchers identified 22 metabolites, small molecules linked to metabolism, which may be useful indicators of how we can expect to grow old. One metabolite in particular, linked to a range of traits including lung function, bone density, blood pressure and cholesterol levels were singled out.
The metabolite is also strongly associated with birth weight, itself a known determinant of healthy aging. Called C-glyTrp, it could reflect accelerated aging in later adulthood.
Higher levels of the molecule were associated with lower weight at birth in comparisons between pairs of identical twins.
Scientists say that identical twins share the same genes, which suggests that levels of the metabolite are altered by nutrition or different conditions in the womb.
"Scientists have known for a long time that a person's weight at the time of birth is an important determinant of health in middle and old age, and that people with low birth weight are more susceptible to age related diseases," Study leader Professor Tim Spector, from King's College London says.
"So far the molecular mechanisms that link low birth weight to health or disease in old age had remained elusive, but this discovery has revealed one of the molecular pathways involved."
To this effect, Spector's team analyzed blood samples donated by more than 6,000 twins. The researchers identified 22 metabolites directly linked to chronological age, with higher concentrations in older than in younger people.
The gene influencing levels of C-glyTrp could be modified by epigenetics, a process whereby environmental factors switch genes on or off and alter their activity.
"Human ageing is a process influenced by genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors, but genes only explain a part of the story," Co-author Dr. Ana Valdes, also from King's College London says.
"Molecular changes that influence how we age over time are triggered by epigenetic changes. This study has for the first time used analysis of blood and epigenetic changes to identify a novel metabolite that has a link to birth weight and rate of aging.
"As these 22 metabolites linked to aging are detectable in the blood, we can now predict actual age from a blood sample pretty accurately and in the future this can be refined to potentially identify future rapid biological aging in individuals," Valdes says.

Black Cabinet Kitchen Reveal
Our family just moved in after spending about 8 months having the house renovated. Started with a kitchen remodel and evolved into a whole-house job. Found a great general contractor that made this project go very well despite several obstacles.
Ok, here are the BEFORE pics...
And here are the AFTER pics...
Range: 36" Capital Cullinarian w/ Griddle (Wok grate rules!)
Hood: Eurostoves Eurohood 36" x 24" (Thanks Trevor!)
Fridge/Dishwasher: Jenn Air
Sink/Faucet: Elkay/Grohe
Micro: GE
Countertops: Cambria Torquey
Cabinets: Black/Chocolate Glazed
Pot Filler: Chicago Faucets
Backsplash: 3" x 12" White glazed subway
New floors: Hardwood Red Oak, Walnut Stained
I'm the man of the house, and the cook. We spent a lot of time on this forum throughout the process, gathering inspiration and advice. As far as I'm concerned this forum is THE best kitchen remodeling resource in existence, period. Thanks to all!
Your kitchen made me feel like an ahole because the first thought that ran through my brain before opening the link was that I don't like black cabinets and shouldn't even bother looking but your kitchen is fabulous! I really like your cabinets, the black is very sharp and the entire space is so nice. Very well done!
Beautiful ! So fresh and sexy ! I love the sleek lines and the fridge wall is stunning ...but so are the open shelves ( what are they made of ? ) and love love the table and stools . The black is just wonderful.
So can we peek at the rest of the house and tell us a little about the age etc of the house ? Thanks...great job !!
The house was built by my parents in 1986. It is a modest split level about 1750 sq feet. I grew up in this house, at least from the age of 11 on. I am now 36 with a family of four. After my parents passed, I had to decide what to do with the house. Ultimately my wife and I decided to keep the house and move in. But first the place needed some serious work. And I wanted to make the place felt like OURS. So we decided to go for it.
We redid the kitchen. Hardwood floors throughout 2 of the 3 floors. Vaulted the ceiling, added skylights. Laminate hardwood in the below-grade level. New interior doors and new molding everywhere. New roof, new insulation. New baseboard heaters through the whole house. New entry door and tiled foyer. Added French doors leading to existing screened in porch. Recessed lights in family room, living room and kitchen. Redid a downstairs bathroom.
Here are some more pics...
OLD bathroom:
NEW bathroom (still waiting on glass):
New foyer and interior doors:
We still have some cardboard boxes to unpack. And the walls are bare. But we are settling in just fine. It is good to be home again.
Wow love it! Common question on GW is island or peinisula and for anyone who thinks an island is preferred over a peninsula because the the latter is not modern enough needs to look at this beautiful, modern and uber functional space.
Whole house remodel eh? Do you plan to post pics of other areas you remodeled? Hope so.
@ sanjuangirl - The soffits were empty. The kitchen was completely gutted. So maybe there was some electrical up there, but no duct work. I'll tell you, I've never had an exhaust hood that vents to the outdoors in my life and I can't believe the difference it makes. I could be frying onions and nobody in the dinning room can smell a thing. (Of course they can't hear anything besides the blowing of the range hood either, but who cares. Joking it is not that bad.)
@trailrunner - Open shelves are by Danver. They are made of stainless steel. They encase a steel frame mounted to studs within. They can hold A LOT of weight. I had my electrician punch large holes in the shelves to recess under cab lights in them. Those shelves alone were project in itself, but it paid off.
@cat_mom - The chocolate glaze... the cabinets are not a true black. They are really a very very dark brown. But when you see them you think BLACK. But in certain sunlight you see they have a brown tinge to them. Sort of like a Mink coat.
I'm sorry for your loss. 36 is young to have already lost your parents. How wonderful that you can have this house and make it new again for your own family. I love the gray wall color, too. You've done a great job of creating a unified style in the areas you've redone.
@island - I won't lie. When the realization set in that there wasn't room for an island, or at least the living room would need to be sacrificed for it, it was a blow to the gut. The Island is the pinnacle of ultimate kitchen, right? So we went with the counter depth fridge surrounded by pantries instead. And a peninsula next to the range. The "pen" is fantastic. There is a 7" overhang on the backside which is just enough to prevent knee knocking while standing and little kids have plenty of room on stools.
" like a mink coat"....what a wonderful comparison ! I had to look back again and then move on through the rest of the rooms. You have a wonderful eye for details and style.
The bathroom is perfect and the glass will be ultra cool I bet.
Love the ss shelves...the punched holes LOL. I have Pottery Barn floating white shelves that also hold a ton of weight with brackets into the studs.
Your kitchen makes me want to do another...high praise as nothing could get me to remodel again. I am 62 :) c
Wow, that's fantastic! You either have nerves of steel to pick cabs so dark and trust it will work out, or you are really good at visualizing the final result in advance! I think the open shelving choice is what makes it work. (And I will admit to being an unrepentant peninsula fan, too.) Great job-- bathroom, too!
@lori_inthenw - Yes, committing to black cabinets was a little scary because it greatly reduced the number kitchens in the "reference pool" if you know what I mean. So some of the decision making along the way, we had no reference point, or even worse is all we could find online we examples of how NOT to design around black. So yes, it took some hard thinking, guts, and a leap of faith.
Upper cabs flanking the range were scratched, partly due to the sloped ceiling being only 7.5' high on the short side of the room. We would have had to hang 36" uppers a little low and crop the crown to make them fit or go with 30" uppers on that side. I did not like the idea of either. So I started looking for open shelves.
What was tough about the shelves was because I know I wanted lighting in them, I had to make decisions about their height on the wall so that wiring could be done BEFORE there were cabinets, countertop or sheetrock installed!
A kitchen remodel is simply one agonizing decision after another.
The open shelves then seemed to demand the "brick wall" of subway tile up to the ceiling. We also had a glass tile selected to be put only behind the range as an accent but chose to nix it. We liked the clean and uninterrupted look of the white.
We purposely kept the countertops and backsplash light and white to contrast with the black cabs. And we almost went with a natural finish on the floors, but a 3:00AM epiphany resulted in the walnut stained finish.
A couple other things we chose to do that we are really happy about:
1. Putting a 30" sink in a 30" sink base cabinet. Yes it can be done!
2. Drawers!
3. The fridge wall was framed to the exact spec of that cabinet run. Making sure there was just enough wall there left for the crown return.
4. Only two skylights instead of three.
5. Put the toe-kick heater under the pantry to heat the middle of the room, instead of under the sink as they are traditionally found.
6. Put a second garbage can under the sink, in addition to the main garbage pull-out under the peninsula.
7. Built in griddle. A grill would have been fine too. I know 6 burners is the most versatile. But having a built-in griddle is just plain FUN to cook on.
8. L-Shaped lower corner cabs both have kidney shaped Susans in them. They store a TON of stuff. The one to the left of the stove houses all spices, cooking oils, and vinegars. The one to the right of the sink holds all ziplock/saran wrap, tin foil, wax paper, large stock pot, salad spinner, and pyrex baking pans. And we have roll-outs in both pantries.
9. Pro style 24" deep range hood. I do a lot of stir-fry, full blast on the front burner, and practically nothing escapes the pull of the hood. There isn't even any grease build-up on the front or side surface of the hood. I was afraid when I bought it I should have gone wider and deeper, but I'm glad I didn't.
We thought taking away the upper cabinets would present a storage problem. As you can see the kitchen is not that big, but we have tons of storage. The cabinet above the fridge holds: A large wok, wok utensils, baking sheets, muffin tins, and roasting pans. A couple of our cabinets were built with center styles (vertical member centered on front frame), and they were not ordered that way. We had to have them replaced with cabinets without center styles and butt doors. It makes a big difference as to what you can fit into them.
That wall of tile was really an elegant solution. And I love the simplicity of the countertop / backsplash combo, too. I can see how it would have been nerve-wracking to have to specify those precise shelf locations in advance! Looks like it all turned our perfectly-- anything you wish you'd done differently, now that you're living with it?
Takkone so you too also coveted an island? Funny!
Looks like you made a great decision. Continous counters are so much easier to clean up, without spilling onto the floors especially if the island isn't big enough for another sink. IMO anyway.
I love your fridge and pantry wall too.
A few more Qs for you if you don't mind....
How did you decide on Cambria? Never heard of it until mentions on GW. Haven't seen it in person, but online it the Torkay looks like marble. Does it? Were you going for that look without the maintenance? That's what I would love to find! What do the seams look like?
You specifically mention loving the 30" sink in a 30" cabinet? What was the situation there, fell in love with that size sink and the usual is to put it in a wider base, but no space? Curious because my sink is the same size as the cabinet and I didn't know it was often an issue. Planning a remodel now so that will be something I'll keep in mind this time around.
Can you please post a couple of pictures of the inside of your lower corner cabs? Would like to see your kidneys! I currently have L shape corners, but no susans and it's a cluttered mess. When I remodeled 12 years ago my KD talked me out of any because of the space I'd lose. I won't make that mistake again, but don't know what solution is best.
@island - We chose Cambria because we heard good things about quartz, and they offered a lot of white and light colors. We were able to see full slabs in the yard. I dont think anyone is fooled into thinking its marble. But it does look and feel like stone. But it does have these little spots/dots everywhere that you can see up close that tell you its a man made surface. So far we stained it with rust by leaving a cast iron pot that was still wet overnight, but it came out with some light scouring and it did not alter the look of the sheen. Also pure cranberry juice (not water added kind) stained it instantly, but we caught that one within minutes and a soapy paper towel took it out. So more stain resistant than marble? Im sure it is, but it is not stain proof. There is one seam centered on the sink. You can see it from about 4' away. It looks like a super-tight grout line.
The 30" sink in a 30" cabinet... So it is actually a 30.5" sink, but inside dim is 28" wide. It barely fit, width-wise, in the cabinet. The flange of sink actually extends past the cabinet framing a bit. The sink specs recommend min 36" sink base! It was risky but I measured multiple times and it worked out. And there was no need to modify the cabinet at all to accommodate the sink.
What was also a bit challenging was the sink base wasnt bumped out, just standard depth. So we had to figure out what kind of faucet would work and if thre would be enough room for the handle to fully operate. Luckly it all worked out.
I opened your link so I could secretly mock at how much I hate black cabinets! But wow...it is beautiful! This is the only kitchen with black cabinets that I like. It is because you have complemented it with white counters and backsplash. Very bright and open!

WANTED: source for wood chips intown Atlanta
WestEnder(z7 Atlanta GA)July 5, 2008
Does anyone know of a company that will still deliver free wood chips in intown Atlanta? Or of a place where we can go to get a truckload of wood chips and pay a nominal fee to have them dumped into the truck bed? We're finding that the arborist companies we contact through the yellow pages are serving only the northeast Atlanta areas and don't seem interested in coming here to the West End with their wood chips, now that gas is so expensive.
We need several loads of wood chips not only for our community garden but also for a new urban farm that has been built now in our neighborhood.
Here is a link that might be useful: CVC Urban Farm in NPU-T

Good for the price
I ordered this along with the SOHO Washed Ebony Floating Hutch, and got exactly what I expected. The material is durable and looks nice for the price you're paying. No complaints on quality here. My only complaint would be the way they have you mount the piece to the wall. They give you three allen screws and then ask you to use your own drill/drill bit to pre-drill the holes before hand-cranking the screws into them. It's kind of a joke. After drilling the holes and spending a half hour murdering my wrist/hand trying to crank the screws into the holes, I finally just got up and went to Menard's and picked up three new screws. I went home and had the new screws drilled into my wall in 5 minutes, and the furniture hung just fine.Read More

Very nice desks
I purchased two of these units, one for me and one for my wife. We have both gone back to college and needed a office to study and work. We converted a room into an office and did not have a lot of room so these desks and small footprint works well. I put both desk together alone in about 3 hours. It could be done quicker but I wanted to take my time and not strip anything. I also did it while watching tv so it wouldn't feel like work. Everything lined right up as it should. Best to lay out all your parts before starting. Directions were very easy and clear with pictures. I knew the desks measurements before ordering so I had the wall space already mapped out. I also mounted these on the wall by myself, no issues at all. I wanted to surprise my wife by having everything done by the time she got home. She loved them. The only issues I can think of are two of the pieces of wood had small damage on the corners but customer service was nice and professional and sent out free replacements pieces within 4 days so super fast and easy for me to swap out. They didn't even want the broken wood back so even easier to trash the damaged pieces. The other thing is, I use the desk with my Mac and other apple things. Even though the Magic Mouse works perfectly with this desk, it made a kinda annoying scratching sound when sliding it around because of the type of wood finish. Easily corrected the sound with a dollar mouse pad. It might not have bothered some but I'm picky. The wall mounting calls for 3 stud mounting but our home (built in 80s) could only fit two studs which works fine. I simply check the bolts once a week to make sure they are still fine. Takes about 10 secs to inspect the bolts. The desk came with a marker to touch up and scratches which works perfectly. I am very happy I purchased these and they look great. I am typing this reply via my iPhone but if this website had a way to attach a picture I would for you to see how nice the desks look. Me. Male, 45 and about a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale (10 being super) on being a handy, fix it kinda guy. This desk would rate a 4 on a 1 to 10 scale on difficulty of putting together and mounting. (10 being super hard, professional needed)Read More

How to Organize Computer Desk Wires
Tangled computer desk wires that are easily visible in your home office or work office space can be distracting and even dangerous to your work environment. Wires can get pulled by accident, and people can trip over them. Exposed wires can become damaged. One of the first things to do when organizing your computer desk area is to organize and hide wires for both aesthetic and safety reasons. Below, you'll learn how to organize computer desk wires.
Computer Desk Buying Tips
Depending on what you use it for, finding the right computer desk can be more than just a matter of personal comfort; it can be about health and wellness, too. After all, repetitive stress injuries often occur when people are not seated in the right position for tasks like typing and other computer-based work. To choose the right computer desk for your needs, start by taking a realistic look at how you intend to use the computer and the desk, and plan from there. Below, you'll learn how to choose a computer desk.
Top 5 Envelopes to Have in Your Desk
Whether you work from home or at a corporate office, it can be easy to overlook little things, like basic office supplies. Nearly every office exchanges documents, invoices and other correspondence with clients and partners. So, a variety of basic envelopes and mailers can help make mailing and shipping easier. Here are the top five envelopes to keep close at hand.
What to Look for in a Laptop Desk
Laptops have become a part of life. You can now take your computer on the road, to school, to work and even on vacations. If you plan to take your laptop computer with you when you travel but also have a workstation in a home office, then a laptop desk can be a lifesaver. Knowing what to look for in a laptop desk can help you pick the one that's perfect for you and your home office.
How to Clean Computer Desks
Most people probably don't realize the importance of keeping computer desks clean. If you fail to clean your computer desks, the dirt and dust buildup can eventually harm your computer. Dust and dirt can get trapped and build up on your computer fan, making it less effective. If enough builds up, it can cause the computer to trap too much heat without cooling down, making the computer overheat, short circuit, burn out the motor or even start a fire. Plus, dust can make your computer screen permanently cloudy if it isn't dusted off frequently. Not to mention you don't want to present visitors to your office with a dirty secretary desk or executive desk. Instead of waiting for your computer's performance or your co-workers opinion of your hygiene to suffer, get in the routine of cleaning your office desk. Here are some tips on how to go about it.

Partnerships International, Inc. TENTH ANNUAL "Partnering for Compliance " East Coast ™ with the participation of the US Departments of State, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security, Census Bureau, and US Trade February 23rd, 24th, & 25th, 2011 Pegasus Ballroom (Student Union Building) University of Central Florida, Orlando Campus 4000 Central Florida Boulevard, Building 52 (Student Union Building); Orlando, FL 32816-3250 Directions to auditorium on campus can be obtained at: www.studentunion.ucf.edu Click on DIRECTIONS on left side of screen. This page gives you directions to the auditorium, parking garage & parking lot adjacent to the Student Union Building. The Tenth Annual "Partnering for Compliance™" will focus on a broad spectrum of export/import regulatory and compliance matters of current relevance to companies, organizations, and individuals involved in trading commodities and technologies. While we cater to all businesses, we place special emphasis on Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMBs) who rarely have the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge from the experts. Please help us ensure that your SMB contractors, suppliers and clients have the opportunity to register for this 'one-stop-shop' program. Our objective is to expand your knowledge and awareness of the requirements needed to successfully compete in business with our global competitors, while adhering to US federal laws and regulations, as we strive for 100% compliance. At the same time, our speakers will provide updates on US Government initiatives and policies addressing export controls and enforcement issues. To maintain the informal and interactive nature of our program, reservations are strictly limited to the first 200 paid registrants on a first-come-first-served basis. NOTE: All speakers have agreed, time permitting, to speak informally on a 'one-to-one' basis with participants. We ask you kindly not to monopolize our speakers by posing your questions as succinctly as possible in an effort to facilitate as many participants as possible with this exceptional opportunity. Thank you so much. Since 9/11 there have been considerable regulatory changes in US controls. Notwithstanding the economic downturn, the complexity of international trade has changed significantly. The Department of Homeland Security; expanded EU, China's WTO membership - and rapid expansion into underdeveloped regions, political considerations, competition for scarce resources, and the emergence of the Indian sub-continent and SE Asia as global players all have an impact on global trade. The recent global financial difficulties are an opportunity for our SMBs to source and resource new markets. US exporters will labor under regulatory burdens that may put them at a disadvantage with their global competitors, thus solid up-to-date training and insights from the experts is one of our keys to success. This interactive program will enhance your knowledge base, hopefully increase return on investment and will help maintain your employers' compliance to become more competitive in the merging global marketplace. We urge you to have many of your questions prepared in advance. Answers will be forthcoming. Ample time has been set aside for the much-requested and valued Q&A sessions. An array of eminently qualified experts from the government and the private sector have been brought together to assist you. A Certificate of Completion is presented to each participant on Day 3 as evidence of having completed the entire program.

Should participants wish to arrive early and/or remain in the Central Florida area after the conference; the hotel will offer these same rates.

We in the Orange County Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America are on a mission to end one of life's cruelest illnesses.
Huntington's disease is a genetically caused brain disorder that systematically robs people of their ability to walk, talk, eat, and think. Eventually, people with Huntington's become totally dependent up on others. There is no effective treatment or cure.
We offer hope. The Orange County Chapter supports affected individuals and their families, raises public awareness, and funds research towards a cure. On this website you can learn about our challenges and goals, upcoming events, fundraising opportunities, and soon we'll include some the stories of people's brave struggles against the disease and dedicated researchers' quest for scientific advances.
We invite you to join the many caring companies, individual donors, and volunteers who have made a difference in people's lives. With your help we can end Huntington's Disease forever.

In a Montessori classroom, you are likely to find things that are quite different from a traditional preschool environment. Mixed age … Read More
Your only choice for 21st Century education must be grounded in the foundational bedrock of experiential discovery and knowledge. Building that discovery process with your child's natural intuitive understanding of how things in life work, connect and provide meaning to them, is what makes the Montessori experience so unique in the world of education.
In this ever-changing technological world of ours, it is short-sighted of parents to think that the only way to success for their children is through technology. RMA discovered something even more important and that is this…Develop your child's fundamental curiosity with life and their surrounding environment…which includes technology. The world will then become their playground. Here at RMA, they will discover their own sense of being by providing them with a myriad of challenges, fun and discovery not found in any other educational system.
By allowing your children to naturally explore, with other children here at RMA, they will soon discover the amazing and wonderful world of learning through their own natural curiosity.
Sounds great but what does this really mean as a result for you and your child? Preparing our children for their new journey of life, their education and skill sets and being able to provide them with ways to gain insights and critical thinking, starts at 2 and half years old. Being able to provide them with these results can only be obtained using the legendary Montessori method.

When to plant potatoes?
dalton73(z7NC)March 15, 2008
I want to plant potatoes for the first time this year. I'm confused about the planting times for potatoes because I am getting conflicting information from several sources. Can anyone from my area give me some advice. I'm in zone 7, about 45 minutes north of Greensboro. I've checked the forums and can't find any info on this.
I am 5o miles west of Charlotte and I try to plant my potatoes around Mar 1, and I have planted as early as early February. If it frosts after the vegetation breaks through the ground, the vegetation will die back, but so far as I know it has always regrown with no real setback. Last year frost threatened after I had about 6 inch plants, and most of the vegetation was not hurt.
