"My family just spent the last three weeks in Tucson at the Casa Indigo property and loved it. Dave, who is the new owner of the property, is a real pleasure to deal with. He was very quick to respond to my initial inquiries about the house as well as responding to all my follow up emails. The kitchen is very well stocked and spacious layout is really nice for relaxing in the evening after a long day of business. The location was very important to us, close to the freeway, near a grocery store and centrally located to town. The house is up on a rise which gives you a great view of the town lights at night and a spectacular Sunrise in the morning. Thanks for the enjoyable stay Dave, hope to see you next year!"Guest: David M. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 26, 2015View listing
"We stayed at Borg lane for one month. Funky, unique architecture and classy appointments. Stunning Catalina views and sunsets! The location is very good, close to U of A, downtown, but also east side nature beauty. Very quiet street. The proximity to the Tennis and Raquetball club (with two nice pools) is great and do buy the $30 week or $52 month pass, much cheaper than day passes. Also direct connection to the bike trail, perfect for bicycle lovers! The spa and pool are not user friendly and one is well advised to get some personal training from Tom the pool man. Even then, we gave up on using the pool because you can't really get it to a good temperature when it needs to be heated. But that was a small problem given that everything else was first class!! Strongly recommended!"Guest: Wisconsinites Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 26, 2015View listing
"We stayed in this unit for 6 weeks, and found it to be very nicely furnished, with lots of extras, like extra paper products and paperbacks, etc. The owners were very easy to work with and responsive to our questions. The complex is quiet and well maintained, with a lovely pool and hot tub. The patio faces north, so it didn't catch much of the winter sun. The community dumpster was near the front of the unit, and the trash was collected twice/week early in the morning. The complex is convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and many of the hiking trails in the Catalinas and Sabino Canyon."Guest: aj Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: February 23, 2015View listing
"David's house was an excellent place for our group of six to call home for a month while in Tucson for the Gem and Mineral Shows. Check in/out is easy, and David supplies detailed info you'll need to get settled. It's in a great location on the eastern side of Tucson and was an easy drive to "town," had lots of convenient shopping and restaurants, yet was quiet and close to wonderful walking trails along the wash. The courtyard was a little sanctuary itself. The house is lovely, spacious, and very comfortable. The updated kitchen and the dining arrangements were perfect for our large group. (We had many wonderful meals at your beautiful table!) The bedrooms and baths are situated to afford everyone plenty of privacy, even when we had a few extra guests. David is thoughtful, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Any issues were quickly and easily resolved. I highly recommend this property. Thanks David! We look forward to returning next year!!"Guest: Debbi L. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 24, 2015View listing

I'm using Foursquare's API and since my code works client-side with JavaScript, I'm currently showing my Client & Secret keys to the world. I've seen some other threads about using a proxy server to process requests, which would slow down everything a bit and take a little while to set up. I'll do it if absolutely necessary, but what am I actually risking by making my keys public? No users will ever be prompted to authorize the web app, so it's not like their accounts are at risk...? Thanks in advance!
Exposing your oauth tokens makes you responsible for anything someone else does with those credentials. Depending in the service, this could mean, for instance, that if someone were using your key and secret to do something violating foursquare's terms of use your key, and possibly developer account, could be shut down as a result.
Showing client and secret key to world means letting the world know about your Bank user id and password. So once this information is with someone say with me (i will not use :)) so i am in full diver position to do anything i like to do on behalf of you.
basically these 2 things work for a handshaking mechanism which tells the service provider that you are the right person who has register with them and now want to interact with them.
Exposing this means exposing yourself.that's said choice is all yours :)

Not all immigrants come to the U.S. because they've come from grinding poverty.
I came to the U.S. because I had the opportunity. It was fun and an adventure for a London secretary to work in New York then San Francisco.

Inspiring, awesome.
The problem bedeviling the forces battling it out over immigration reform is that each promotes an overly simplistic image of undocumented immigrants. If you listen to the immigrant advocacy organizations, the undocumented are hardworking men and women who do no wrong in their pursuit of a better life.
The idea of getting to know immigrants in a bid to connect human faces and real stories such as these, with the immigration situation in the USA is what led me to embark on this documentary project. Check www.immigrantstudio.tv for more info and please support us.

Today I read this from a gooood e-zine I get every week. Thought of
sharing it...
What in the World Are You Doing?
by Chris Widener
"Hi there, Chris Widener here. This week I want to talk with you about leaving an impact legacy. "What is an impact legacy?" you may ask. It is how you impact people and the world around you. You see, many people glide through life and do not make much of an impact. That is unfortunate. Others though, those driven by a purpose and passion for living, are continually making the world a better place and making an impact wherever they go. That's what I believe you want to do.
In order to help you reflect on this during this week, I want to ask you a question: What in the world are you doing?
Here is the typical life - typical, though not everybody does it this way. But for the most part, people's lives generally go something like this:
You're born
You eat and sleep
You play with toys
You go to school
You play little league
You go to school
You learn to drive
You go to school
You leave high school
You go to more school, but you pay for it now
You get a job
You get married
You buy a house
You have kids
You watch your kids eat, sleep, play and go to school
You work, work, and work
You retire
You die
That's the basic life, isn't it? I know there is more to it, but that is about it for most people.
Here is that question again: What in the world are you doing?
I mean, what are you doing besides the typical "enjoying yourself while you are waiting to die" scenario? What kind of impact are you making?
What I believe sets the successful apart is that they don't just live the average life. They don't just pass time. They make an impact. They have something compelling in their life that drives them - something that gives them an answer when they are asked that question: What in the world are you doing?
º I'm helping children.
º I'm creating a business that supports many families.
º I lead a church.
º I am defending our liberties.
º I am raising great children.
º I'm teaching others to improve their lives.
º I help people have fun.
º I create memories for people.
In other words, successful people always come down to this:
º I make an impact and help other people by (fill in your purpose here).
What in the world are you doing?
If you want to be successful, you need to be able to answer that by describing how you help others. Because if you aren't helping others - if you aren't making an impact - you are just taking up space, eating food and waiting to die.
Here's the question for you to answer this week and what to do with your answer:
What in the world are you doing?
If you know, then you are good to go - live it and make an impact!
If you don't know, then maybe you need to reflect on what you are doing, what your life is about, and how you can explode the mundane bubble you may be living in!
The world needs impact makers - so live to be one!
Have a great week!

Love the cartoon! Thanks for the good read. I think my life falls into the "Behind every good man, there is a woman..." category and most days, I'm fine with that as I am also a living legacy for my children who will have it better than I did. I hope that is for the better.
very interesting read..
LoL. You've Been Readin Books Again. Oh Dear. Good Artwork.
Great read. Thanks for sharing!
I am happy to know you liked the reading! Thank you.
And the drawing...! I thought about making the buddy scratching his head in bewilderment... but got this at first try. I realize now (added a note) that I made the buddy a lefty like me... So now I am thinking if this may be a sort of self-portrait...
That it reflects my current state of mind, ain´t no doubt about it.
me gustaria el texto si su enfoque no fuera tan yanki
I think about this a lot. I do a lot, but still don't feel like I'm making the kind of impact I wish I would. Work in progress...
Thanks for the reminder :)
Lamento que no te guste Vidar, igual te entiendo. A mi tambien me satura un poco el tono de textos de este tipo a veces por esa razon, pero trato de rescatar la idea.
David, work in progress, I know what you talk about. Feel the same here. =)
Gise, 5:44 AM acabo de llegar, ademas de mi pésimo inglés se me caen las pupilas, 2 toneladas cada una, me quedó conn el bidujito con cariño como me decía mi sobrino Joaquín cdo me regalaba uno, besos y disfrutá el finde largo.
:))very nice!
Great illustration.
Thanks for your great illustration. I see it's very popular with others besides me.
And thanks for setting it up as a creative commons license - I've created a blog page using this, titled, "Purpose/Passion - what drives you, what makes you happy?" - for my book.
Thanks again - hope to see more of this great work.
From a fellow lefty -- this is so cute!

Thank you, thank you!
Thank you Jessica, and also gothunk and all, from previous months I didn't thanked in time (sorry for that!)
Great to see my works are so well used! Thanks for letting me know and you know, you can use any other material from my stream. :))
Hi Alieness, just to let you know that I've used your image here on my new site / concept....
I hope that's ok with you as I love it!
Hi Gisela,
I love this picture. Thanks for making it available under creative commons. I have used it on my site here: Ready Set Startup - Help with Business Plans
Keep up the great photography!
Glad it was of good use for you!!! Cheers and all the best with your work you too!

How To Clean And Restore Old Wood Furniture
Alternate punny post title: Some Midcentury Microdermabrasion. Ok, so yesterday John explained how we hunted down an old thrift store table and repaired its rickety legs. And since we're nothing if not honest when it comes to keeping things real-time in this little DIY diary of ours (if something takes two days, it earns two posts – and if a kitchen takes four months, it earns about a hundred) here's the second chapter for our little dresser-turned-media-cabinet. The title of which could be: How I Showed A Dingy Old Wood Dresser Some Sweet Sweet Love. Or Dr $herdog And Her Scrub-tastic Tricks. You know, depending on your mood.
So let's dive right into how I brought this 50+ year old piece back from scratched and bedraggled territory. Here are my tools. It's a pretty simple equation.
Yup, you read that right. Ladies and gentlemen, my first weapon of choice was a Magic Eraser. I've found that for old beat up pieces like this, it's great for scrubbing off years of grime. It essentially does the same thing as very fine steel wool or sandpaper does (but seems to be more gentle on the hands). The cool thing is that sometimes what you think are paint streaks and scratches actually can be buffed off with the eraser so the wood is back to looking downright sexy again. For example, see this detail shot that I took of the bottom right side of the cabinet before I did any scrubbing?
Here it is after about five minutes of buffing that area with a damp Magic Eraser:
I did the same buffing thing all over the top, the sides, and even the legs (tip: you might want to test it on an out of the way spot to make sure it doesn't mess with your piece's finish, but if it's dry old wood like this guy it should work just like high grit sandpaper and just buff things down a bit).
Then it was time to clean out the inside of the drawers. Those were musty and dusty, so it was less about buffing them down to their original glory like it was for the exterior, so my approach changed. I just used an old rag moistened with white vinegar to wipe down the insides of each drawer. That removed all the dust, and since vinegar is also great for absorbing/removing musty smells in old wood, it was amazing how that tangy vinegar went on smelling strongly but then dried to have no smell at all (so those formerly musty drawers smelled like nothing at all as well). Huzzah.
Here's how she looked after about a few hours of working the outside with the Magic Eraser and the inside of each drawer with a vinegar-moistened rag.
It's a far cry from the muddled old finish that we saw at the thrift store, right? Now you get the post title, right? It's like I hooked her up with some nice microdermabrasion, right? Dr. $herdog doesn't mess around.
The next step was letting her sit out in the sunroom with her drawers all open so everything could evaporate and fully dry out (all the vinegar-wiped drawers need to full air out so the bitter smell dissipates). Then about eight hours later we finally (finally!!) brought her into the living room. Nothing like waiting over two years to find the right media cabinet.
We eventually plan to use a drawer or two for the TV components instead of sitting them on the floor (we can either hinge the front of that drawer for easy remote-access to them or use one of those cool RF remotes that work through wood) but this works for now.
And speaking of planning, we also originally planned to paint the top, sides, and bottom of the piece white (while leaving the rest of it in the same wood tone that you see now – sort of like this but wood where the white is and white where the wood is) but now that we've scrubbed it down and brought it into the living room we actually like it just the way it is.
We already have a white desk, a white table, and a white ottoman in the room, so the wooden media cabinet balances nicely with the wooden console that we built for behind our sofa along with the wood-framed chalkboard that we made. We even like the original hardware (although you never know if we'll see something awesome and be completely seduced). Now that I'm sitting here staring at it, I actually think the existing hardware could look great in an oil-rubbed bronze finish since the curtain rods on both sides of this piece (as well as the dark TV on top of it) are that tone. So that's always a possibility down the line. Either way you know I'll keep you posted.
I'd also love to use some sort of wood restoring seal/topcoat to coat the cabinet (since it's pretty dry and not really very glossy at all) – just to bring back even more luster. I hit up Home Depot and grabbed something that I'm dying to try, so I'll be back with pics and details for ya about that – maybe along with a tutorial for hinging a drawer for those media components or giving an RF remote a try? Might not get around to it for a few weeks with all of our book tour travel coming up, but I can't wait to get 'er done.
Oh and as for securing the TV so it's kid safe, we use this anchor system to keep it in place (here's a picture of it with our last media cabinet from this post, but it's the same system, we just unattached it and reattached it higher on the wall to work with the new cabinet). We've also had luck using similar systems for tethering desks and dressers and leaning mirrors to keep them from tipping (more on that here).
Now we're just basking in the glory of a not-too-low TV that actually doesn't make the whole room feel sofa-heavy (that side of the room always felt more substantial thanks to the teeny old TV table). Ooh yeah, I'm going to stuff those abundant drawers with all of Clara's games and toys that runneth over. Momma's excited about that. Oh and as for the old TV cabinet, we just craigslisted it for $30 yesterday! So in the end this new $59 TV cabinet was more like $29 after you put that $30 craigslist payment back in our pockets.
Is anyone else trying to bring an old piece of furniture back to its former glory? Have you ever used a vinegar wipe-down to de-must drawers? Have you tried the Magic Eraser approach on old grungy wood? I'm not sure it would be a good idea on something super shiny (sealed/lacquered) since it might make tiny scratches in the finish, but for old dry wood that looks beat up and battered already, it certainly removed a lot of things that I thought were deeply rooted into the stain (they must have been sitting right on top). Word up to less-beat-up-than-you-thought furniture.

This is a great piece and it fits the room perfectly! I love that you left the natural wood rather than painting it.
Ahhhh, that's better! I literally sighed when reading this post. It looks fabulous, and oh so chic. Again, I'm amazed. Have fun in Austin!
The console is completely gorgeous and I'm amazed by the work that the Mr. Clean Eraser and vinegar did to it. What a simple fix! Congrats on your new addition!
Thanks for this great tip! Your piece looks amazing! Have a great week.
It looks so much better! Have you considered an IR extender? It's a much easier (and cost effective) way to make your existing remote work with components tucked away inside furniture.
That finish really turned out well. I love Magic Erasers too. Have a great time in Austin!
I like it!
I actually have a mid-century dresser at my mom's house that has been there for over a year now needing some love from me. I WILL get it to my house and refinished!!!
Oh I love the console as-is! I think it does balance out the side of the room with all the wood tones.
Thanks for the tip on cleaning.
That is amazing. Love it and am a little jealous. I never find deals like that. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great. I never thought of using Magic Eraser either! I have a piece that I'm going to try it on =)
Great tip! The dresser/media cabinet looks great.
SOO much better! I love how you teach us to be patient and wait for just the right piece!
Have you thought about removing the drawer front and making an empty box/hole there for the cable box? It would probably break my heart to destroy a drawer, but it might work, and you'd still have eight other drawers!
Vinegar is magic! I started a fire in my mil's microwave and no matter how hard I tried to clean it all our nuked food had a smoked flavour. My mom recommended I microwave a small cup of vinegar for a short time and then leave it to steam in the appliance. Worked like a charm! (A short story a little unrelated to furniture revival but I thought it would make you smile :) Safe travels!)
Love it! I'm looking for a media cabinet right now and plan to use a RF thingy for the dvr and bluray. I have used vinegar for drawers and about everything else. My dresser was super musty! Love buying old stuff and restoring it. This post made me decide to swing by habitat today, haven't been for awhile.
$herdog, you never cease to impress me. I am AMAZED with how good this turned out with just a little elbow grease! I'll definitely keep this in mind for all those less than stellar pieces I see. Would almost be worth it to carry a magic eraser around in your purse to test out how worn/damaged something is right on the spot!
Looks amazing! I big-fat-heart magic erasers!! Do you plan on keeping it the same wood tone when you go darker with the floors? I'm always apprehensive about mixing wood tones but you guys seem to do it so well…
I will have to try this on a hand – me -down dresser I received. Also, hope you enjoy Austin, just a bummer it will be raining the entire day. :(
I so excited to see you guys at Book People! It almost never happens, but it's raining here, so don't forget the umbrellas. :)
The console looks so much prettier now! In terms of painting, I like the way it looks now (the stain is a beautiful color!) but if you do paint it in the future, I think it would be fun if you did something like this: http://www.designsponge.com/2009/10/before-after-wills-nightstand-wendrens-ladder.html … though maybe with bees instead of an octopus (though that does look cool!).
Looks great! Love Magic Erasers, they are the best cleaning tools – especially with children in the house! Question: Do you plan on putting anything on the wall above the TV? I have a problem with empty wall space…I stare and stare at it and eventually hang something up only to then stare at it again and obsess about it looking too cluttered!
It looks amazing! I'm glad you didn't paint it, personally. If you do, I'm sure you'll make it work, but I think the piece is so lovely as is that I think leaving it alone is going to be the best option.
I've used Magic Eraser for little knicks in the wall and whatnot, but the funniest story I know of someone using it is my brother-in-law's story. He was a bit of a party guy in college and hosted a big goodbye party before his graduation and someone wrote on his fridge in Sharpie (I think it was "Class of 2008″ or something, I forget what it said). Thing is, it was a campus-owned apartment, and he had to get it off. So he got the Magic Eraser. Worked like a charm! But I think he stopped speaking to the girl who defaced the fridge. ;)
Mia looks great! Magic erasers never fail to surprise me. And I love using white vinegar! I spritz it on my floors before I mop and it makes them super shiny!
PS. As the wife of an electronics engineer/nerd, I feel obligated to say make sure that your cable box, etc. has a way to breathe to prevent them from overheating. There. I made the hubs proud.
Love you guys for all that you do & share, and esp for bringing life back to such a timeless piece like Mia! I hope to stumble upon one of her siblings (or cousins?) myself in a thrift shop as well someday.
That is such a stellar find and I would have never thought to use a magic eraser on wood! Putting that tip in my back pocket. We found Greta's big girl vintage bed in the online classifieds, and I gave it a good dusting and restoring and she's fit for our little princess now.

Mohler/Foster Seminar: Day 1
Posted Jun 18 2009 12:11am
Injury report: My little toe is all screwed up. The down side is that it's pretty bruised and tender, the bruise extending up onto my foot and making it painful to bend. The up side is that after it heals, it will now match my other little toe, which has looked like a sausage for about 8 months since this exact same thing happened to it. I should be fine with a little tape.
The seminar started with a very light warm-up and then some drills. The drills we worked on were partner drills where we'd work to regain guard and things like that. These drills, and seeing the ease with which Coach Mohler went from one submission to the next really brought home that I need to go to Jeff's Drills and Conditioning classes on Mondays. These sorts of drills are fun and very and the lockflow drills will help me down the road.
One of the drills we worked on was a way to take the back on someone who's turtled up really tight. In this drill, we'd start with the our partner in a strong turtle position, meaning that he's got his elbows in tight, and is protecting his head, neck and arms. I'm going to be facing him, pushing his head down into the mat with my stomach, using my stomach to sense his moves to one side or the other. I'm not going to clinch around his chest. This would set me up for a reversal. Instead, I've got my hands cupped around his arms, close to his body. My hips are low and my legs are out behind me with the arches of my feet to the mat (not toes down). From here, he taught us two ways to go, the small man's way and the big man's way. Both start from this position and involve moving to my parner's side. So, I'll bring my arm around to block him from reaching out and grabbing anything as I move to his side.
The small guy's drill involved reaching under and grabbing the wrists, then rolling over the top taking my partner with me into back control. He emphasized NOT putting my head down by my partner's. This would seem the thing to do, but he assured us that it would be uncomfortable as his body would drive into our face. Not good. Instead, as we roll, we were told to roll over our shoulder, as we practice in warm-ups. Very fancy.
The big guy's drill was for when you're grappling with someone who's got mass such that you might not want to roll him over you. Instead, you grab the near sleeve and the far lapel, making sure you pull it up and out so he doesn't trap your far arm. Then step out and in, planting my foot or shin against his leg and using that to get him over and on his back. Then make him uncomfortable.
There were other drills, but these were the most involved. The others involved regaining guard when someone's moving around the side and stuff like that.
Coach Foster showed us some techniques from guard. Starting in guard, get a good grip on both sleeves. He emphasized two good grips. The first (and the one I prefer) is to use four fingers with the cuff folded over, thumb out so it doesn't get broken. This is a very strong grip for me. The other is a pistol grip, where you basically bunch up the fabric at the cuff and then grip it like you would a pistol. Pretty much.
So, I have the grips. I'm going to plant both feet on my partner's hips, and then move to one hip and bring the top leg over my partner's arm nice and deep and keeping my knee wide to put a lot of pressure on his bicep. I haven't released my strong grip on his cuff, so his arm is very tightly held. I'm also keeping my elbows in to make my grip harder to break. Some other details for this position. Never plant your foot high into your partner's armpit. This is asking for a heel hook or leg lock. Even if you have a strong grip, his weight and momentum will cause problems for you. So, keep your knee wide to create pressure on his arm, but always keep your foot low on his hip or even hide it between his legs.
In the first technique, a sweep from this position. I've got my left leg over and locked into my partner's arm, so I would keep pressure on this arm, and then bring my other knee inside as I release my grip on his left arm. I would then need to hook his left leg, but that's more for control. The sweep comes from the angle and the pressure on his arm driving his off balance and over. This sweep takes me right into a bicep lock which is illegal in most competitions now. Apparently, from this position it feels like pain compliance, with pressure on the bicep, but there's actually a tremendous amount of pressure being put on the forearm. Competitors not realizing the danger weren't tapping and were ending up with snapped forearms. So, instead of breaking our partner's forearm, we let the arm go and moved to a knee-on-belly position.
We learned other techniques from this position, but they're going to have to wait. Hopefully, I my brain doesn't pop today so I forget everything. We learned a lot from Coach Mohler, as well, and I'm hoping I can remember enough to put some of that down in writing before I forget it.
I will say quickly, before I go get ready for today's no-gi instruction, that what I appreciated most yesterday was the attention to details. I picked up things from each of the two instructors that will help me in every technique, not just the ones we learned yesterday. I learned some tips on how to be a good partner, reacting in a realistic way, providing non-verbal cues to my partner when they're giving me too much space, getting sloppy or failing to attack the correct angle.
Which leads me to another general tip I picked up. Attack angles. Definitely not a new concept for me, but one which had slipped under the radar. As anyone who trains in BJJ or any MA probably knows, when you learn something the first time most of it slips by. You don't even realize that you're missing them. Sometimes, even larger concepts settle into the background, and this is one of those. Coach Foster is always talking about widening the elbows, using technique and not strength, and attacking angles, but this really stood out yesterday. We were working on a technique for getting out of from under side control (the nasty kind where someone's got what amounts to a pin in Judo). It finally clicked that widening the elbow means driving it in a 45degree angle, and if done correctly, I can make it very uncomfortable for the person on top. Angles. That's what I took from Coach Mohler. As far as I'm concerned, as a 2 stripe white belt, that's good enough. I learned some fancy techniques, but I'm pleased that this concept finally came out from the background.

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

Indie game Chester going free on Desura for two days
Another summer Steam sale season has passed, and I don't know about you guys, but my wallet is still feeling the sting. What better solution to calm those wallet pains than with a free indie game, courtesy of the nice folks over at Brilliant Blue-G!
Chester is a 2D platformer that adds small RPG elements along with some very unique aesthetic choices. One of the game's key features is the ability to change the visual style at any moment. You can enjoy your standard Chester style, then switch it up to something more retro or avant-garde.
The game is now available for free through Desura but only for the next 48 hours, so give it shot. Your wallet will thank you for the reprieve.
Xbox Live Indie platformer Chester comes to PC
