Devonshire Downs
Frequently Asked Questions
Devonshire Downs is a planned residential community in Northridge California, which is being developed by the North Campus Development Corporation (NCDC), on behalf of California State University Northridge (CSUN), in order to provide favorably priced housing options to CSUN faculty and staff. Devonshire Downs was conceived as a positive approach to addressing the impact of highly priced housing on the University's ability to attract and maintain a qualified, diverse faculty and staff.
CSUN is situated in an area where housing is expensive, making it difficult for the University to recruit and retain employees. This is particularly true for nationwide recruitments, such as those for faculty or staff, who could go to an institution in a more affordable location. A neighborhood of faculty and staff near campus will help to foster a sense of community within the University and will more strongly connect the University to the surrounding community.
The Southern California housing market has seen dramatic changes recently and remains highly volatile. The Devonshire Downs project team continuously evaluates developments while moving cautiously toward ground breaking. Market conditions permitting, the first phase of Devonshire Downs will include 152 homes, to be built in several subphases over a period of several years.
Below are responses to some frequently asked questions about the Devonshire Downs project. Information will be updated as work progresses.
1. What type of housing will be available at Devonshire Downs and when will it be available?
Approximately 152 for-sale town homes are being planned for Phase I on approximately 15 of the 30 acres to be developed on the North Campus. The town homes will be two story, with 3-4 bedrooms and ranging in size from 1350 – 1725 square feet, in a thoughtfully planned village environment incorporating the best in Southern California style. The goal is to create a highly livable neighborhood that fosters community and campus spirit.
Phase I will be constructed in smaller sub-phases. Phase 1A will include 48 homes. If market conditions permit, groundbreaking is expected in 2009, with anticipated delivery of the first homes beginning in 2010. The remaining acreage will be developed as future demand and market conditions allow. Future phases will most likely be smaller in size and scope and could include rental units.
2. Where is Devonshire Downs located? How far is it from campus?
Devonshire Downs is located on the CSUN North Campus, on the north side of Lassen Street , between Zelzah and Lindley, across from the main campus. ( View Map .) A bike and pedestrian connection is planned to allow easy access from Devonshire Downs to the main campus. Additionally, the campus shuttle stops at the south end of Devonshire Downs. Residents won't have to drive to work.
3. Why was this site selected?
The North Campus offers many benefits. The property already belongs to CSUN, eliminating the need to purchase land on which to build, which in turn helps to keep home prices down. The property is large enough to accommodate a significant number of housing units. The homes will be within walking distance of the campus core.
4. What amenities will be included at Devonshire Downs?
Approximately three acres have been designated for community amenities. Amenities under consideration either now or in future phases include parks, swimming pools, playing courts, walking paths, tot lots, private dog parks and a community center.
5. Will there be a maintenance fee?
Yes, a monthly fee will be assessed for the ongoing maintenance of common areas and infrastructure (in lieu of homeowner dues). This will cover, among other items, insurance, common area maintenance, exterior maintenance of buildings, parks, pools, landscaping and common area utilities.
6. Will there be a homeowners' association?
There will be no homeowners' association. However, homeowners will have input into community management through a Homeowners' Advisory Council elected by the homeowners.
7. Who is responsible for administration?
NCDC will administer Devonshire Downs.
8. Who may purchase a home in Devonshire Downs ?
The NCDC Board of Directors has approved a priority policy, which lists the various groups and their priority in obtaining Devonshire Downs housing units. The two highest priorities are new faculty recruits and primary retention faculty. (View Priority Policy.)
9. When can my name be put on the wait list?
NCDC does not yet have a formal wait list. NCDC will make an announcement when the wait list is activated. NCDC is currently keeping an informal interest list, and will notify the campus and those on the interest list when NCDC opens the official wait list. Please contact email@example.com to have your name and contact information included on the interest list.
10. When will the official wait list open?
Most likely sometime in 2010. NCDC is keeping an informal interest list, and will notify those people when NCDC activates the wait list. To have your name and contact information included on the interest list, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com .
11. What do I have to do to get on the official wait list?
When the wait list is activated, potential buyers will complete a prequalification form (which will be added to this web page at a later date). Once this first step is completed, further instructions will be provided.
12. Who has priority to purchase a home?
The priority policy is available on the Devonshire Downs website – Priority Policy . The system was established to support the University in the recruitment and retention of faculty, staff and management. The two highest priorities are new faculty recruits and primary retention faculty.
13. How do I determine if I qualify financially?
The goal is to price homes at 15% below prices in the surrounding area. It is anticipated that the for-sale housing will be priced to serve those with an annual household income of approximately $70,000 - $110,000. A loan prequalification process will be established through one or more financial institutions.
14. Will special financing be available?
NCDC is working with lending sources to negotiate favorable terms for home buyers, but buyers will not be limited to these sources.
15. Can I buy a home in Devonshire Downs as an investment and rent it to others?
No. Buyers of Devonshire Downs homes must occupy the homes as their principal place of residence. This program is intended to assist CSUN in the recruitment and retention of faculty and staff and is not intended to be a speculative venture for owners.
16. Who should not buy a Devonshire Downs home?
Belonging to the Devonshire Downs community is a lifestyle rather than investment decision. Anyone interested in purchasing real estate with the intention of realizing significant, unlimited investment gains should not buy a Devonshire Downs home. The ground sublease (see #17) limits equity growth by limiting annual appreciation to no more than the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Click button for current CPI Index:
17. What is the ground sublease and how does it work? What are the terms of the ground sublease?
NCDC leases the North Campus land from the California State University (CSU) Trustees. The home buyer then subleases the land from NCDC via a ground sublease. (This arrangement is common in employee for-sale housing communities.) The ground sublease helps contain the cost of a home. A purchaser buys the home, but subleases the land on which it sits.
18. What is included in the ground sublease?
The ground sublease contains the program controls designed to keep Devonshire Downs affordable, available and attractive over time, such as restrictions on buyer eligibility, NCDC right to repurchase, and resale price limitations. It also contains terms typically addressed in ground leases, such as the length of sublease, ground rent and maintenance obligations, as well as miscellaneous protections for the residents and NCDC. The disclosure documentation will include a detailed summary of the ground sublease.
19. What ground rent do homeowners pay under the ground sublease?
Homeowners will pay a modest monthly ground rent for use of the land. The amount is not yet determined. The ground rent will be reasonable to ensure that the full package remains affordable. Ground rent will be subject to adjustment every five years based on changes in the Consumer Price Index-Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers - Los Angeles - All Items. Details on ground rent will be included in the homebuyer disclosure documentation.
20. What controls are there on the resale price of homes?
Resale price controls will be articulated in the ground sublease. The purpose of resale price controls is to keep the homes affordable for future generations of CSUN employees, while allowing homeowners to potentially build some equity.
21. To whom will I be able to sell my Devonshire Downs home when I'm ready to sell?
The ground sublease provides for resale to qualified buyers according to the eligibility/priority policy (View Priority Policy.)
22. Will NCDC help me sell my Devonshire Downs home?
Yes. NCDC will maintain a list of those interested in purchasing a Devonshire Downs home.
23. Are there any fees payable to NCDC upon resale of homes?
NCDC will charge a nominal administrative fee for processing any ground sublease transfer + a sales fee if NCDC locates a buyer for the home and facilitates the sale transaction, as would a real estate broker.
24. Why does NCDC want to limit homeowner appreciation by tying it to the CPI?
By limiting appreciation, homes at Devonshire Downs will continue to be attainably priced for future generations of CSUN faculty and staff. Over time, limited equity growth models such as this have demonstrated a widening gap between the outside housing market and the faculty/staff housing, so that the housing is comparatively more affordable in future years.
25. Does this mean Devonshire Downs is risk free from drops in housing prices?
No. The limit on the resale price of the homes is going to be the lesser of the market value or the original price + accumulated CPI increase. Similar to traditional home ownership, there is the risk of loss if housing prices drop in the future.
26. Is it fair to compare the prices of Devonshire Downs homes to "comparable" homes in the surrounding market area?
Devonshire Downs home prices cannot be compared to the surrounding market area, because the ground sublease restrictions limit equity growth and Devonshire Downs homeowners will not own the ground under their homes.
If a potential buyer can afford to purchase a home in the surrounding area, that option should be considered because of the absence of resale limitations in the open market. Devonshire Downs is intended to provide an opportunity for faculty and staff to become homeowners at attainable prices in a quality community near CSUN.

Latest Gulf oil rig problem differs from BP spill
NEW ORLEANS Unlike the blast that led to the massive BP spill, the latest oil platform fire in the Gulf of Mexico killed no one and sent no crude gushing into the water.
The Mariner Energy-owned platform that erupted in flames Thursday was just 200 miles west of the spill site, but everything from the structures to the operations to the safety devices were different.
Yet when word of the latest mishap spread, residents along the coast could think only of the three-month spill that began after the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers.
"It's unbelievable," said Sophie Esch, 28, a Tulane graduate student from Berlin. "They should finally stop drilling in the Gulf. They should shut down all the drilling out there and not give permission to do any more. They've shown that it's just unsafe."
The Coast Guard initially reported that an oil sheen a mile long and 100 feet wide had begun to spread, but hours later said crews were unable to find any spill.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Lehmann in New Orleans said Friday morning that an 87-foot Coast Guard cutter patrolling the area has not reported any signs of leaks. A helicopter was to survey the site later in the day.
Houston-based Mariner did not know what caused the fire. The 13 workers who were pulled from the water told rescuers that there was a blast on board, but Mariner's Patrick Cassidy said he considered what happened a fire, not an explosion.
Platforms are vastly different from oil rigs like BP's Deepwater Horizon. They are usually brought in after wells are already drilled and sealed and the oil is flowing at a predictable pressure. A majority of platforms in the Gulf do not require crews on board.
"A production platform is much more stable," said Andy Radford, an American Petroleum Institute expert on offshore oil drilling.
Many platforms, especially those in shallower water, stand on legs that are drilled into the sea floor. Like a giant octopus, each spreads numerous pipelines and can tap into many wells at once.
The Deepwater Horizon was drilling a well a mile beneath the sea, which made trying to plug it after it blew out an incredible challenge, with BP trying techniques never tested. The platform that caught fire, meanwhile, was operating in 340 feet of water in a shallow area of the Gulf known as a major source of gas.
Responding to any oil spill in such a shallow spot would be much easier than in deep water, where crews depend on remote-operated vehicles to access equipment on the sea floor.
Platforms do not have blowout preventers like deep water rigs that are supposed to shut down wells if there is problem. But they are usually equipped with a series of redundant valves that can shut off oil and gas at different points along the pipeline.
Mariner Energy officials said there were seven active production wells on its platform, and they were shut down shortly before the fire broke out.

Military rule in Egypt
Egypt was under the military yoke from July 1952 to February 2011
By Brig Asif Haroon Raja
In Egypt, Till very recent President Hosni Mubarak was flying high and leading an exhilarating life with no worries. Having ruled with full authority for 30 years and having amassed a fortune of over $40 billion and owning posh mansions in several western countries and counting himself among the richest men of the world, he was now looking forward to the coming elections in September 2011 in which he was all set to get his son Gamal elected and succeed him so that he could lead a quiet and comfortable retired life. There was no external threat to Egypt and internally no political party posed any challenge. Egypt enjoyed best of relations with the US, western world and Israel and after the death of Sadam Hussein and liquidation of Baathist Party, the Arab world by and large had reconciled with Egypt's pro-US and pro-Israeli policies. Saudi Arabia and other Arab monarchies favored tough stance of Hosni against religious extremists since such elements posed a threat to their monarchies as well. Under such benign environments, none among the ruling regime in Cairo could contemplate an uprising of such a magnitude as has occurred.
Egypt remained under British backed monarchy from 1936 till mid 1952. Col Gamal Abdel Nasser led free officers' coup in July 1952 against moribund and corrupt rule of fun loving King Farouq and established Revolutionary Command Council. After one year he renamed Egypt as a Republic and installed Naguib as president and himself as prime minister but a little later took over as president and formulated a new constitution. He emerged as a strong and poplar nationalist leader of Egypt in particular and Arab world in general because of his pan-Arab ideas. Merger of Syria with Egypt was part of the scheme. He subsumed Egyptian nationalism and pan-Islamism into an overall Pan-Arabism orientation. His popularity got a fillip after he nationalized Suez Canal which antagonized Britain and France. It led to invasion of Sinai in November 1956 by Israeli forces in which British-French troops also took part. Egypt managed to carry the day when British and French forces had to withdraw under international pressure.
After the war, Nasser aligned Egypt with Soviet Union. His difficulties in acquiring US weaponry were instrumental in deciding to seek Soviet arms for Egyptian armed forces. In 1962 Nasser supplemented Pan-Arabism with a secular socialist component. He resigned after the 1967 debacle but took back his resignation on popular demand of Egyptians. His death in 1970 was widely mourned by the people of Egypt. He is still remembered with fondness since Egypt has not seen another charismatic leader of his caliber. Nasserites are still active in Egypt.
Nasser was succeeded by his Vice President Air Marshal Anwar al-Sadat who soon after taking over started to gravitate towards Washington. In all probability he had already been cultivated by the Americans. He ordered expulsion of Russian military advisers and technicians in July 1972 to reduce Russian influence. In 1976 he abrogated Egypt-Soviet Treaty of friendship & Cooperation.
It was during his rule that Egyptian forces broke the myth of invincibility of Bar-Lev Line built by Israelis all along the Suez Canal in Sinai soon after six-day 1967 Arab-Israeli war in which Arab armies were routed and enabled Israel to capture whole of Sinai including Gaza, Golan Heights and West Bank from Egypt, Syria and Jordan respectively.
The Bar-Lev Line was successfully breached on 6 October 1973 and several bridgeheads established across the Suez Canal which could not be eliminated by Israeli forces. This success was partially offset by Aerial Sharon's pincer which exploited the gap between 2nd and 3rd Egyptian Armies in 'Bitter Lakes' area near Ismailia city and after crossing the Suez Canal, the pincer moved southwards but was contained and a stalemate occurred. It was in that critical timeframe that the Yom Kippur war ended as a consequence to US brokered ceasefire. Egypt's 2nd Army's 8-10 km deep bridgehead east of Suez Canal and Sharon's toehold west of canal were of no threat to either side. For the Egyptians, it was an astounding victory and a vindication of their humiliating defeat in 1967 encounter. It redeemed the lost dignity and honor of the Army.
Henry Kissinger used all his diplomatic skills to keep the tenuous ceasefire intact and to remove antagonism between two arch rivals. His almost four-year efforts bore fruits and resulted in both sides agreeing to come to terms. Sadat on the advice of Washington undertook a historical visit to Tel Aviv in November 1977. Since he was the first Arab leader to visit Israel, he was eulogized by the Jewish and western press but widely censored by the Arab world. Camp David agreement was signed by Jimmy Carter, Sadat and Menachem Begin in September 1978 and Egypt-Israeli peace agreement inked on 26 March 1979.
Surprisingly, Sadat showed little interest in occupied lands of Syria and Jordan and his commitment to Palestinian cause was perfunctory. His sole interest during the negotiations was to recover Sinai. Had he succeeded in getting Golan Heights, West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem vacated from Israeli control and a road map for settlement of Palestinian dispute, it would have further enhanced his prestige and Egypt's standing in Arab world.
Egypt's 1973 victory was turned into a political defeat when Egypt was removed from the camp of resisting states to Israeli occupation of Arab lands to the camp of appeasement. This shift in balance of power in the region and vacuum created by absence of Egypt, allowed Israel to eliminate resistance one by one starting with Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon again and Iraq again and now current rhetoric indicate that Iran and Syria are next.
Egypt lost respect of the Arab countries that had regarded Egypt as an intellectual and cultural leader. This change in perceptions encouraged Iraq under ambitious leader Saddam to claim leadership role of Arab world and led to serious differences between Egypt and Iraq. Taking advantage of the Egypt-Iraq cold war and Iraqi forces involvement in war with Iran, Israeli air force destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor at Osirek in June 1981.
Egypt's change of heart encouraged several Arab states to restore diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv. Arab League became a dead horse since Egypt torpedoed any reprisal action like economic war or cutting off diplomatic ties with Israel or raising the issue of settlements in occupied lands in the UN. Arab countries paying only lip service to the Palestinian dispute added to the disillusionment and woes of Palestinians.
Within Egypt, Sadat's ties with USA and Israel saw intensification of opposition to his domestic and foreign policies. He was viewed as a betrayer of Arab cause. His economic liberalization and encouragement of private sector benefited the upper and upper middle class seculars, but weakening of public sector had a crippling effect on lower and middle classes. It widened the gulf between the rich and the poor and also fueled corruption among the bureaucrats. The deprived class languished under escalating prices of food items.
Muslim-Coptic sectarian clashes in June 1981 and their persecution by the state antagonized the two communities. Arrest of 1500 political opponents in September was roundly criticized at home and abroad. Consequent to welling up of hatred against Sadat, he was killed by grenade tossing and gun firing Lt Khalid al Islamboli and three soldiers on 6 October 1981 when he was reviewing the annual military parade in Cairo. 28 senior officers including air vice marshal Hosni Mubarak sitting on the dais received injuries. A state of emergency was declared which has not been lifted to this day.
His successor Hosni Mubarak who had served as air force chief and his Vice President for six years brought no change in his predecessor's policies. He pursued US policies faithfully and stuck to peace treaty with Israel which helped him in remaining in good books of both. He continued with the witch hunt of the Islamists. Worst kind of human rights abuses were committed against activists of religious parties forcing many to flee. He also colluded with Israel when latter's forces invaded Gaza in December-January 2009 and helped Israel in affecting an economic blockade against Gazans by blocking Rafah crossing in Sinai.
Already outraged by Hosni's pro-American and pro-Israeli policies and suffering under the weight of his oppressive policies, common people in Egypt were primed for explosion. The spark was provided by events in Tunisia where the people succeeded in ousting the dictator on 14 January. Its ripple effects were felt in Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Yemen and Morocco as well.
In Egypt, the people came on the streets of Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia and Suez in large numbers on 25 January and thereon made it into a daily routine. 350,000 strong Central Security Force (CSF) and National Police after vainly battling with the protestors gave up and breathed a sigh of relief when Hosni ordered the Army to take over and impose curfew on 28 January. Taking advantage of the turmoil and police helplessness, 13000 prisoners made their escape good.
470,000 strong Army, with equal number of reservists under Lt Gen Sami Hafez Annan, which had struck roots in national affairs in 1952 and is popular among the masses took over security duties in Cairo and Alexandria but put up a neutral and friendly face much to the chagrin of beleaguered Hosni. Latter refused to vacate his seat saying that he would stay in power till next presidential election scheduled in September to prevent chaos.
He however appointed ailing Intelligence Chief Lt Gen Omar Suleiman as his Vice President, dissolved the cabinet and formed a fresh cabinet under new Prime Minister Air Marshal Ahmad Shafiq who was performing as minister of civil aviation. The aging president promised that neither he nor his son would participate in next elections and also grudgingly agreed to carryout constitutional and political reforms. He also vacated his post of chairman National Democratic Party.
These measures however failed to placate the people and they stuck to their demand of immediate ouster of Hosni. The people hate the rulers, CSF and the police under the interior ministry but are friendly towards the Army. The protesters constantly wooed the soldiers to their side. About 300 people died and hundreds injured but protests continued despite curfew. They were fed up of insensitivity of their rulers, rampant corruption, large scale unemployment and political oppression whenever they asked for reforms.
Although the emotions of Egyptians were very high and their resolve to make the 'Nile Revolution' a success was strong, but they are without a leader. Muhammad ElBaradei doesn't fit the bill since he is Mr. nobody in Egypt's politics and is seen as America's man purposely sent to deceive the people. The CNN and BBC commentators exposed their inner desire by opining that he could be a good replacement of Hosni. Another aspirant Amr Mussa heading Arab League is also not an ideal choice. Muslim Brotherhood kept a low profile because it didn't want the uprising to be dubbed as an Islamic revolution. Although it has 88 seats in the legislature, it doesn't have a charismatic leader to turn the tide in its favor.
The uprising triggered by the youth on 25th January took a dangerous turn on 04th February when one million people assembled at Tahrir Square (Independence Square) in Central Cairo and refused to vacate the premises till ouster of the despot. When the Army refused to fire on the crowds, intelligence goons, ruffians and Salafi movement members tried to break up the assembly by using brute force but failed. Hosni became a sitting duck after the US and the west started to withdraw their support to him and the Army adopted an affable posture. The brewing storm climaxed on 11th when the people besieged the presidential palace and left embattled Hosni with no choice but to resign and flee to his palace in Sharm el Sheikh. Like Ayub Khan, instead of handing over the reigns to the Speaker, he preferred to hand over the reigns to Supreme Council of Armed Forces.
The power has slipped into the hands of Vice President Lt Gen Omar, Defence Minister Field Marshal M. Hussein Tantawi and Army Chief Lt Gen Annan. With no external threat, the Army has got too addicted to benefits of peace with Israel and is enjoying the fruits of US largesse for long. It is heavily involved in businesses, road building, construction works and running bakeries and laundries. Aging senior officers are holding key appointments in civil organizations and in government departments. Over 37 years of peace has dulled the warrior spirit among the officer cadre. Status quo is the most desirable option for the senior leadership of the Army.
The US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Arab monarchies prefer status quo with some cosmetic reforms but the people do not want change of faces but a real change. They hate Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic laws and desire continuation of the present system under new faces. It is said that the Army while putting up a friendly face is keeping its options open. The constitution has been suspended and parliament dissolved on 13th, but the Army Command has so far not given any timeframe for polls and has made it clear that till completion of transition to democracy it will remain committed to international treaties including Camp David accord. Tahrir Square has still not been completely vacated by protesters and die hard among them say they will not depart till lifting of state of emergency, release of political prisoners, fair elections and swift handover of power to the civilians. Army's role is considered critical for the future of Egypt. The wind of change has started to blow in North Africa, but it will take some more time for a real change.

I find it interesting that we keep hearin in the US news media that if it were not for Israel, the US would have no friends in the middle east. I guess they (the press) don't want to mention how Egypt and Saudi Arabia are also US friends.

The NATO are nothing for Afghani's. The US army is tired, Britisher are going back. Canadan also be going back. The American army wants fight with all Islamic countries, + china+ india,+ ussr & so many other countries. They can not fight only with BRAVE AFGHANI's.? They are failed in Egypts very Badlly, The Islamic Revolution Came in Egypt, Tunisia, Yeman, & Marakash.

You may be very cear full in these days, because of Egypts, Tunisia, Afghanistan WARS, Iraq problem, Pakistan case, its going to an examination for you , your countries, your army, your big nation, & YOUR FOREIGN POLICY.

Millions & millions mens& woman are Killed, It WERE A DIRTIEST GAME OF THE WORLD, Dont worry Time Will be Come, When Revange Shall be Start. No Problem. The American's Advisor are so POOR, Like Britishar, Israeli's, Canadian, German's, & Other's.

You can say, Selected nor Elected " ELECTION." Its was playing dirtieast game of JEWISH LOBBY in 11/2/2010 US Election or Selection. See the Election result, that poor Obama missed evry think in this election, his party, MRS, CLINTON, Forgn Minister & so others. There is no Good women like Mrs, Clinton. We MISS her. May be she become President of USA IN 2012, ELECTION'S. ( 100 % ). Why they are ( JEWS ) doing worng prictical projects. ? as exampel the 11/9, Black September, Failure projects. Its Shamelees for Israel & Jew.Lobby. They never stop their dirty politics in the World, especialy in United States of America. Just now they wants playing's an other PROJECT .? But they are alway's FAILURE in their Long & Short Tearm's Projects. When all world are in their hands. But GOD NVER HELP Them.Becaus they are guilty,They are STEAL, Oil, Gold, Silver., Dollars, Heroin, Parts of Humen Body, Tecknowlgi of the World. evry thinks in the World. They are TURASTY on Money. THE 18 MILLION JEWISH ARE HAVEING 20 TRILLION'S, ( TWENTY, 2000,000,000,000 ) EURO, Money in their hands, million's companies, agencies, factories, etc. etc. They THEIVES OF THE WORLD. Why American's are help them. ?. They are a SADIST Nation of the World…. The "Pakistan is a strategically important country not just for the U.S., but also for the world. Mr. Obama said.. "Why The Muslim are so weak, that the American's beat them from 60 years. They Killed Thousand Muslim around the World daily. We need " Friends, Not Master. " The 11/9/2001 Failure Project, ( Mission Imposible ) were causes for them, But The 11/9 was Programed before 2000. ( Between 80's & 90's ) They want Kill all Muslim Comunity, ie. Islamic Block. ( Espcialy Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, & other Countries . ) But they don't NO, How are The Muslim.? They think Muslim are as like Japan's, or Viet Name's, Viet Congs or as Kirean's, & Other one The want kill 1600 Million Muslim all over the World., With their Two Million Army.Just now they are killed Two million Muslim. With Their One million Army.ie.. ( The pupped Al Qaeda, & Taliban , are WITH 9 COUNTRIES POWER THE " Nato, are with 28 countries army, ". The US ARMY, UK, ISRAEL, CANADIAN army & others. ) . They spend 60 Trillion Dallors in these WARS.Due to These Three Decade WARS, " The ECONOMIC WORLD WAR CIRSIS IS BECOME ". You can't do any Think. It needs 90 Trillion Dallors more. They are Totally FAILURE's. American's are Foolish, Mad, no Minde, Sadist nation, & so cheap. ( Cheap man like as a Mr. Bush, Sadist men, NOT Mr. OBAMA ) why ?. They are Think after doing Work. What's happended after 11/9 , The Islamic Revolution came in Egypt, Tunisia & Yemen and so on. The Mubarak go to Barack. Israeli down fall is going on , they lost 150 Countries of the World, spacialy Islamic Block.( 57 Islamic Countries. ) also. The SIX Million JEWSH LOBBY are controling The American's Governament. ( Jewish are in Senate, in CIA, in FBI, in Congrees, in White House, in Pentagon, in News Paper, in TV, in Banks, in Hotles, in Stoke Exchange, in Black Marketing's, in Ngo's, in Politics, ( They have a dirty Politics , they have no politics, they lose Egypt, Tunisia , Jorden ), in Hoolly Wood, and, and, and so on.

They must stop the War & Wall.They Must GO from Asian & Middal East Countries. The NEW ISLAMIC REVOLUTION IN MIDDAL EAST Countries are very good for Islamic World, and very Bad for Israel, American's, and Brtish Govt, The NEW ISLAMIC MIDDAL EAST IS VERY GOOD FOR THIRD WORLD. Why With in Two years Obama Failed. ? The 11/2/2010,the midterm elections, was very costly for Obama, The election, was selected not elected, it was Joke of century, it was White vers Black Blood slection, it was a tough WAR. BETWEEN OBAMA & BUSH PARTY. The Barack Obama effect makes it tough for Democrats in midterm unhappy elections The both Parties ( Republican & Democrats ) are same. But the Third Party,( TEA PARTY ) ARE BAD .Their is no difrents btween Them. After Two years Who become, THE PRESIDENT OF USA. ? MAN or WOMEN ? ( May be Mrs. Clintone, The NEXT US Prisedent. ) BLACK or WHITE, ? so called MUSLIM or JEWISH, ? CHEMUNIST or CHRISTIAN, ? ( Chatolic or Protistean's . ? ) from ASIAN or SOUTH EAST ASIA, ? They are Handover the War to " USSR.", AFTER DATE " CHINA. ". The Greater Balochistan idea come First Time, by German Govt, also Greater Kurdistan is come on paper of the World. It was against Birtish Govt, to Failed them. This was start near obut 100 years ago.But there is no result of this issue. But Thousand & Thousands people's are Killed. Just now The Greater USA IS BECOMMING ON FRONT of THE WORLD. It is True or Lie's. ? The Chirstian, Bahhai's, Wahhabi's, Ahmedi, QADIYANI's, Aga Khani's, Bohries, Hindu's, Communities are Playing Dirty Game's in Pakistan, Iraq, & Afghestan. Why ? The European Community wants, ( UK, & GERMEN'S etc . ) broken Pakistan & Afghanistan in so many PICESE…We strongly condemn this senseless attack,in Peshawer, While such contemptible and cowardly attacks against dedicated police & army officers aim to undermine the essential work of law enforcement and of the rule of law, today's attack will only strengthen the resolve of police to bring terrorists and criminals to heel." The Pakistan must help American's & NATO TO leave Afghanistan very very soon. After date the Time will be Finnished for Them. They will be lose evry think in Afghanistan, ( Its better for Pakistan, India, NATO & Afghanistan. ) You can see the RESULT after date. The 9.1/2 Golden yeras are enugh for them. The 11/9 game as OVER. We must learn from this battle or Wars or Foolishnees. This war is difrent from other WARS. The NATO are TOTALLY FAILURE IN THEIR OBJECTIVE. They are Killing so mutch Afghani's daily. They must go from Afghanistan very soon. just now The NATO are " OUT OF DATE, " JUST LIKE PENTAGON, CIA, MOSSAD, ISI, RAW, MI5, MI6, FREMASION'S, WORLD ZIONIST, WORLD JEWISH CONGREES, WORLD ANARCHIST .

As I do most mornings, I peered out the bedroom window to see what life has in store weather-wise. I saw this head sticking up from the grass…which is getting a little tall these days as spring has arrived.
At first I just assume it was a bobwhite quail…a shy and quick moving gamebird. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots through the window (hmm, maybe I shouldn't say "shots" in this conversation). Ahem, I took a few PHOTOS through the window.
I then sneaked outside and zoomed in to get something clearer and I thought the bird seemed rather large for quail. Birdy then moved into some bushes, so I stealthily crept over to try to get a better view. Well, birdy jumped into the fence, back toward me and then took flight. You would think I was one of my setters flushing the poor thing out.
I headed back into the computer to see what I found. The beak said turkey to me, but the neck was wrong. I thought grouse or pheasant, but those are outside the range of Florida. Seems the only two larger game birds in this range are wild turkey and bobwhite quail. This was obviously a rather young something. Sooooo, I dashed off a photo to the president of the local Audubon chapter and a few of my friends who also are members.
My friend Sandy, who at one time lived in Ohio came up with some potential candidates
It looks like a female Sharp-tailed Grouse (but they are further north and west), or young Ring-necked Pheasant to me…can't see the tail. I haven't seen either one of those since I lived in Ohio 40 years ago. I think it may be a pheasant."
With that info, chapter president Larry confirmed it
I couldn't figure it out, especially the larger beak, but Sandy is right; not a Grouse but a Ring-necked Pheasant (juvenile male). This is of course not their normal range but they are raised and hunted on private lands and sometimes escape. Some of us saw an adult down near Adams Ranch on our field trip in November."
Mystery solved! Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)! I suggest that perhaps this bird might want to hang around with me since I don't have a hunting license.
Well, it must be game bird season in this neck of the woods, as the very next day a covey of Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) quail stopped by to visit. I always see them at this time of year because I have tons of Cranesbill (Geranium carolinianum).
Providing right food conditions is key to attracting birds. Quail are mostly vegetarian types, with seeds and leaves the primary food of adults. As with most birds, when it comes around to breeding time they add a smattering of Arthropods and the kids are fed insects until they are 6-8 weeks old.
In addition to the Cranesbill a few other great native plant choices for gamebirds are Inkberry (Ilex glabra), Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), Shyleaf (Aeschynomene americana), Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine), Shiny Blueberry (Vaccinium myrsinites), Redbay (Persea borbonia), and several others.
Bobwhites are ground nesters and travel in coveys, of 3–20 individuals. They need grasslands. Bobwhites have an IUCN Conservation Status of Near Threatened due to loss of habitat. Think prairies people…..full of nice plants native to the locale. Many people think the threatened status is because they are hunted, but it was interesting to learn that hunting may just be offering the most protection for gamebirds.
Before you jump on me, I found this information in an article in the Autumn 2012 issue of Living Bird, a publication of The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The Bobwhite Blues…"Can birders join hunters to protect a game bird?".
Another interesting week, a rather odd visitor and a visit from some old friends. Maybe the pheasant just decided the north was too darn cold and snowy this year to stay there or maybe the bobwhites clued him in to the good eats in my beautiful wildlife garden.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Brett Myers could be converted into a reliever if his right elbow issues persist for much longer, writes Mark Emery at Indians.com. Myers was diagnosed in late April with tendonitis a mild UCL tear and suffered a setback when he felt renewed soreness last week after going four-plus innings in a rehab start at Double-A Akron. "We'd like to let him come back as a starter," Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters on Wednesday. "Saying that, I guess if it ever got to the point where we thought he could handle being a reliever, maybe that's something we would look at, just out of common sense." In two rehab appearances for Double-A Akron, Myers went 0-1 with a 3.68 ERA. He lasted a combined 7 1/3 innings, while striking out two and walking five. Without Myers in the rotation, Indians starters have gone 14-8 with a 3.67 ERA while averaging slightly more than six innings per outing.

Sunday Style Icon: Jackie Kennedy Onassis
January 8, 2012
There are no words to adequately introduce todays Style Icon, so I think I will let the photos do the talking……
Socialite, Wife, Mother, First Lady and a successful Editor, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, above all of these, is remembered for her style, elegance, and grace.
Born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in New York in 1929 to a privileged family, spending her early years in New York City and East Hampton, New York, at the Bouvier family estate, "Lasata".
Following her parents' divorce and her mother's remarriage to Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jr. in 1942, she divided her time with her sister Caroline, between their mother's homes in McLean, Virginia and Newport, Rhode Island, and their father's homes in New York City and Long Island.
The girl who would eventually become the wife of the world's most famous man showed strong style credentials from a young age.
When she made her society debut in 1947, Hearst columnist Igor Cassini dubbed her "debutante of the year'
English Fashion and Portrait photographer Cecil Beaton photographed the Bouvier sisters as debutantes for a feature in American Vogue. In the same year Jacqueline started working for The Washington Times-Herald and it was whilst working for this newspaper that she was introduced to John F. Kennedy.
By the time she became Mrs John F Kennedy in 1953 she had already become a fashion icon to women all over the world. Her chic and timeless voluminous ivory silk taffeta gown, by Ann Lowe, affirmed her status. A portrait neckline and wide, embellished skirt emphasized Jackie's small waist, and an heirloom lace Juliet veil, which originally belonged to her grandmother, completed the super-romantic ensemble.
When John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Presidency Jackie intended to take an active role in the campaign, however upon learning that she was pregnant shortly after the beginning of the campaign, her doctors instructed her to stay at home. Jackie had sadly suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956 before finally giving birth to a healthy second daughter, Caroline, in 1957.
When her husband was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961, Jackie became, at age 31, one of the youngest First Ladies in history – and arguably the most glamorous.
As First Lady, Jackie was thrust into the spotlight. It was old family friend, couturier Oleg Cassini who put her signature look together having persuaded the first lady that she should use him as the creator of her total look, a decision that proved pivotal – setting the style for the 1960s with her clean suits, knee length skirts, 3/4 sleeves on notch-collar jackets, sleeveless A-line dresses, above-the-elbow gloves and famous pillbox hats.
Although Cassini was her primary designer, she also wore designs by French fashion legends such as Chanel, Givenchy, and Dior. Wherever John and Jackie went in the world, all eyes were on her.
But her innate sense of style extended way beyond the state visits and society functions of the Kennedy era. When Jackie was widowed in 1963, her style changed dramatically. Gone were the conservative 'campaign wife' clothes, replaced with pantsuits, jeans, large lapel jackets, silk Hermès head scarves and of course those trademark large, round, dark sunglasses.
When she married Aristotle Onassis in 1968, Jackie Kennedy became Jackie Onassis or Jackie O (as she was affectionately known) Until her death in 1994, she never had a bad fashion day and never took a bad photo, which is why she is still referred to as one of the most influential people in fashion.
(all Images from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis)
Its impossible not to admire and respect this Wife, Mother, First Lady and Style Icon. Love you Jackie O

It's been 56 years since the Giant's won a World series… and that was in New York. Now, I am in awe of our San Francisco Giant's and proud to be a fan! The Giant's' management saw the
vision of finally winning a World Series in San Francisco by uniting a divergent group of athletes that some had labeled "misfits". Players that other teams had let go, rookies, players who some said were "has-beens" and unknowns formed a cohesive team that is close to perfect, in this pooches eyes.
No big names or big egos. No steroid-deformed big hitters. I greatly admire scrappiness and the ability to create something grand and great with many little pieces, with unstoppable tenacity. This Giant's team embodies the qualities of perseverance, hard-work, cooperation, motivation and hope… in other words, dog-like qualities.
After these past weeks, the entire nation is now throwing around the names of players we have been enamored with since they joined The Giant's: Lincecum, Ross, Posey, Renteria, Huff, Sandoval, Wilson, Sanchez, and Torres. Brian Wilson (Fear the Beard) was even a favorite Halloween costume this year.
With monikers like Kung Fu Panda and The Freak, this team had a special flare long before the national media even noticed. Now in places far beyond Northern California, baseball lovers are wearing "Let Timmy Smoke" and "Fear the Beard" t-shirts. Some are surely just jumping on the bandwagon of The Champions, but I think for many, deeper sentiment exists.
I think that fans across the country love to see the underdog prevail, just like with the Saint's victory earlier this year. I would like to think that through the example of this special Giant's squad, and their newfound fans across the country, we can somehow unite, at least on one issue.
We are finally at the end of this divisive election season, so let's embrace our unity and collective love for the people of this country who really change our lives for the better: The San Francisco Giant's!

There is nothing better than the company of an old friend, and this week I am blessed. My dear friend Dasha and her beau are visiting from San Francisco so I am delighted that I get the opportunity to share the quirky and culinary delights of Portland. I met Dasha many years ago when she was a part-time floral designer in my little shop while working towards her graphic design degree. Having this flower connection, Dasha jumped right in when I suggested the topic of today's tutorial.
Orchids are one of my favorite flowers, so easy and elegant. . . and I always have at least one plant in my home. For those of you who have a Trader Joe's, you know how abundant and affordable they can be. Well, I would like to demystify them even further and show you my go-to version of how to take a grocery store purchase and make it look like a flower shop design.
After selecting your orchid you will need to find the right container. In this tutorial I used an old vase that I found at a rummage sale and a black bowl I purchased at World Market. With orchids you can use any kind of container since it does not need to hold water. My only rule of thumb is that the container be taller than the plastic pot that holds the orchid roots. Once you have your container, you will need some twigs, blooming branches or curly willow and something to tie them with. I like to use a green raffia, but twine, ribbon or string can look great too. This will replace the less than lovely stakes and plastic clips that come with the orchid plant. You will need a material to fill the space inside the decorative container and the plastic orchid pot. I often recycle the plastic sleeve that surrounds the orchid then top it with a crumpled baking paper to form a solid base around the plant. If the orchid comes in a terracotta pot, I have often crushed the pot inside a paper bag then used the clay chunks to help fill the space. The last component is a cover for the base of the orchid. I keep a variety of moss and stones to choose from. There are many varieties of moss and most are reusable. You can find great moss at garden stores or a flower shop may sell you some pieces. You can also find some varieties of moss at craft stores. I prefer the moist green moss, and will revive it in between orchids by placing it in a pan of water for 15 minutes. I purchased my stones at the dollar store and they are available in many varieties at any craft store. All you need is a pair of floral clippers or branch cutters and you are ready to design and style your orchid.
When I had my flower shop I heard rumbles that orchids are too delicate and tricky to keep alive. Honestly, the biggest mistake people make with orchids is over watering them. . . or simply not watering them, but usually over watering. All an orchid will need is a splash of water once a week. A great trick (and you can read this on most orchid care labels) is to place 1-2 ice cubes onto the leaves once a week, letting the melted ice drain into the roots. This trick will give the plant just enough moisture and keep your blooms fresh for weeks or even months. So. . . celebrate spring by treating yourself to an orchid plant! ~ Lia

Art Sandoval had a wild night.
In the race for a seat on the Bassett Unified School District, his election day started with the superintendent of schools Jim Ballard – also his boss as Sandoval teaches in the district – calling the police to have him removed from a polling place for intimidating voters.
Sandoval was later vindicated as candidates are allowed to visit polls to check voter turnout.
Then, as the first results came in, Sandoval was behind.
But as the official results came in, Sandoval ended up winning a seat on the school board along with challenger Victoria Medina who ran on the same slate. Incumbent Paul Solano retained his seat, but incumbent Robert Fuentes was ousted.
"I am excited I was elected," Sandoval said. "The community believes in me and is confident I will deliver."
The stress of dealing with the issues on election day, the campaign itself, victory, and his school work studying for a master's in education at Azusa Pacific University has weighed on Sandoval. He went home sick from work Wednesday and said his body needs to reenergize.
Once it does, Sandoval has a lot of work ahead. He will be forced to resign his job as a seventh grade language arts and social studies teacher for Bassett Unified as he can't teach in the district and be a school board member.
He also has to start to build a working relationship with the superintendent, the person who supported the incumbents, called the police on Sandoval on election day, and is still his boss. Now Sandoval is Ballard's boss.
"I don't have ill thoughts toward anybody," Sandoval said. "I don't believe in vendettas. I am on a peace mission. I love my community too much."

PROJECT Fogo Island Inn, Fogo Island, Newfoundland ARCHITECTS Saunders Architecture with Sheppard Case Architects Inc (architect of record) TEXT Michael Carroll PHOTOS Alex Fradkin unless otherwise noted
It is an interesting fact that Fogo Island, once deemed to be one of the four corners of the world by the Flat Earth Society, is the location of an ambitious series of architectural projects whose stated objective is to resist the "flattening" of our shared cultural landscape. The newest addition to the roster is the Fogo Island Inn. The projects on Fogo Island (CA, September 2010 and June 2012) began with a vision for the community by Zita Cobb, who together with her brothers created the Shorefast Foundation. The non-profit envisaged a sustainable future for Fogo Island through developing the area as an art and eco-tourism destination.
Although the Fogo Island Inn opened this summer, its design began seven years previous. That's when Todd Saunders, the Newfoundland-born architect based in Bergen, Norway was hired by Cobb and Shorefast to design a series of artists' studios, followed by the inn. The process was intense. From his office in Bergen, Saunders produced what he remembers to be at least a thousand floor plans that explored a range of design options. Schemes presented via internet with Shorefast every Wednesday were met with lengthy discussion and incisive questioning.
With an area of 40,000 square feet, the Fogo Island Inn is the largest project that Saunders has designed to date. Unlike the smaller art studios with their minimal program, the inn was driven more strongly by its internal dynamics. In the end, what prevailed was the response to a basic question: "What makes a good hotel?" The answer hinged on two essential ingredients--the bed and the breakfast. A good bed meant that it be positioned with a panoramic view of the Atlantic, while a good breakfast translated into a dining room that was at once both generous and intimate. The complexity of the program and the simplicity of the architectural parti are captured in the basic configuration of the plan, shaped as an asymmetrical X. Both the plan and the fractured form of the inn seem to echo the remarkable geometric patterns that naturally occur in the island's rock formations.
The leg of the plan running parallel to the shoreline contains all of the inn's 29 rooms. This elongated four-storey volume, which measures about 320 feet in length, is designed as a single-loaded corridor, ensuring that each room has an ocean view. The rooms vary in size from a tidy 350 square feet to 1,000-square-foot double-height loft-styled suites. All rooms on the third and fourth floors have wood-burning stoves. Several suites feature sleeping alcoves, mezzanines, large corner windows, freestanding bathtubs and generous walk-in showers.
The other leg of the plan, measuring about 200 feet long, is a two-storey volume aligned on the east-west axis of the site. It contains all the "public" amenities of the inn: meeting rooms, a gallery curated by Fogo Island Arts, a library featuring books selected by former Memorial University president Dr. Leslie Harris, and an e-cinema run in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada. At the western end of this section is a double-height dining room where the morning breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon tea and evening supper are served. From this vantage point, about 60 feet above sea level, large corner windows overlook the horizon of the North Atlantic, a line occasionally interrupted by the dramatic profile of an iceberg or the fin of a humpback whale.
Both the Fogo Island artists' studios and the inn are highly invested in addressing issues of economic, cultural and environmental sustainability. It thus comes as no surprise that the design of the inn incorporates a variety of state-of-the-art environmental systems. In terms of active systems, the air-handling units, usually mounted on a rooftop, have been discreetly placed in the basement of the main building. Also located here are in-ground concrete water cisterns that contain rainwater channelled from the roof (to be reused as greywater), as well as a sole cistern for the inn's super-filtered potable water. Like any residence in rural Newfoundland, the inn also has its own outbuilding. This houses items including wood-fired boilers used to warm water for the hotel's in-floor radiant heating system, a backup electrical generator, laundry facilities and, last but not least, a shelter for the hotel's two Newfoundland dogs, Make and Break. Atop its angled roof, 130 solar thermal collectors contribute to water heating. The outbuilding is carefully sited to shield the inn's main entry from the heavy gusts of wind that seem to be ever-present on the barren landscape of the Back Western Shore of Joe Batt's Arm.
Given the exposure of the site, one of the most dramatic architectural gestures is the cluster of Corten steel columns that support the eastern end of the inn. About 30 feet in height, the columns are directly tied into the bedrock with minimal alteration to the existing landscape. The forest of columns with the building overhead evokes the cod-drying flakes commonly seen in rural Newfoundland before the downfall of the fisheries in the early 1990s.
The Fogo Island Inn is framed in steel; however, the building both inside and out is an inventive demonstration of contemporary wood detailing. This is a testament not only to the vision of Saunders but also the technical prowess of the local architectural firm, Sheppard Case Architects. Light grey façades that seemingly disappear in the Fogo Island fog are clad in locally milled, rough-sawn black spruce boards. Given that the building is wrapped in a blueskin membrane, the wood envelope is designed as a zero-detail rain screen with mitered corners and no visible flashings. The horizontal shiplap boards are installed with great care, with each nylon-coated nail hammered by hand. The result of these efforts is a monolithic and understated exterior that gives the inn an overall level of abstraction. The minimization of architectural detail is particularly evident in the way the building meets the ground. The black spruce boards are simply scribed to follow the sinuous outline of the granite boulders and bedrock--the abstract form of the building literally tailored to the specific character of the landscape in which it sits.
The interior's walls and ceiling are also lined with black spruce; in this case, smooth, white-painted tongue-and-groove boards. Subtle imperfections in the grain give a level of detail and scale to the hotel's white interior that echoes the traditional finish of the saltbox houses of outport Newfoundland. The hardwood floors have a hand-oiled finish. Rift-sawn maple lines the hotel corridors, while birch is used in the guest rooms. At the beginning of the project, there was a conscientious decision that all surfaces of the inn that could be touched by hand would be constructed from wood. As a result, all window frames are hardwood and all stair handrails are milled lengths of 11/2"-diameter dowel.
Beyond the building container, the contents of the inn have also been largely crafted from wood. A roster of young designers, mostly from Europe, designed the furniture. Of particular note are the wooden pegs that line the walls of the guest rooms and support a range of items: a mirror, a bookshelf, laser-cut clothes hangers. The system was conceived by Glass Hill, a London-based firm also responsible for the design of the main reception desk, the bar and the dining room furniture. As part of an overall plan for the economic development of Fogo Island, the inn's furniture will be manufactured on the island and made available for purchase.
Like the building, the furniture is resolutely contemporary while also referencing local vernacular ways of making. Take for instance the brightly painted Puppy Table, designed by one of the project's architects, Nick Herder. The exuberance of its outline is matched by the economy of its construction--the entire table is sourced from a single length of board. Herder is also responsible, in part, for the digital design of the laser-printed wallpaper that accents a wall of each guest room and lines the secondary stairwells. Never before have fire stairs been so grand, as the colour and design of the wallpaper shifts from one wall to the next with a sense of whimsy and delight. One set of stairs leads to the rooftop of the inn, which houses a Finnish-styled sauna designed by Rintala Eggertsson Architects. Aspen benches line the sauna while the exterior decks and open-air hot tubs--which offer splendid views of the North Atlantic--are clad in cedar.
Charles Eames once stated that the designer's role is to be a thoughtful host who anticipates the needs of his guests. In this regard, both the client and the architects of the Fogo Island Inn have proven to be excellent hosts. They have addressed their guests not only within their general design philosophy, but more importantly, in the specificity of the inn's many details. From the triangle tile-lined vestibule, to the brass-cast key fobs and hand-quilted bed covers, it seems that every detail both large and small has been thoughtfully considered. In the end, all the minutiae of the Fogo Island Inn are instrumental in creating an experience of quality and depth that avoids the nostalgic and the folkloric. The resulting cultural expression is truly original. The Fogo Island Inn encompasses a sense of the past, but more importantly, a genuine regard for the present and a fresh vision for the future of this distinct island culture. CA

Another great articles on the design and intent of the Fogo Island Inn. The design and detail, combined with the service and meals, makes this a most amazing place to stay. Our Christmas present this year is to drive all the way from Gander for another stay. Designers from all over studied, planned and conferred with the Shorefast Foundation but the most amazing part is that the furniture, fixtures and quilts are all made by local crafts people and available for sale. On our first visit, our dining room server told us with pride she and her friend had made the rope chandeliers in the dining room based on a pattern they'd been taught by the designer. This is the best Bed and Breakfast (lunch and dinner) you'll find anywhere. Bravo to Todd Saunders and all involved in the planning and realization. Newfoundland Ferry schedule will be posted on Marine Atlantic in January. See you this summer.

Workaround Solution for Viewsonic PJD6531w Users with 3D Vision
Nvidia has provided a temporary solution for the owners of the Viewsonic PJD6531w 3D DLP projectors and 3D Vision running into problems when setting up 3D mode using the 3D Vision wizard.Have in ind that what they've published is just a temporary workaround until a fix is made available (probably with the release of the next driver update). The step by stem guide available as a knowledgebase article will give you directions for configuring the Viewsonic PJD6531w with the Nvidia 3D Vision glasses and it is available here: I am having trouble setting up the ViewSonic PJD 6531w using CD v1.29 (v257.21)?
The cause of the bug is that the software is choosing the optimal mode reported by the projector which in case of the Viewsonic PJD6531w is 1280Ã?800. However, the projector needs to run at 1280Ã?720 rezolution @ 120Hz and thus the wizard will report an error. Nvidia is hoping to have a fix for that issue ready by the next 3D Vision driver update and meanwhile if you already bought Viewsonic PJD6531w projector, then you can use the temporary workaround for the time beingâ?¦

"I will like to thank Nina for her great personality and services that was given to me twice for the chemical peels – She made me feel great again about my face and insured me there was help for my skin – Indeed it was. This is a great place to go for chemical peels and other acne problems. Thanks Nina and stafff you are a winner!"
"I have been bothered by my acne and facial hair for all of my life. Because I am a physician and leery about aggressive beauty treatments, I have been wearing make up for the last 15 years to hide this problem.
After meeting Dr. Barad and talking to her about my problems and discovering all the scientific reasons to do a specific treatment, I knew that I was in good hands. After only 3 laser treatments for acne and 2 for hair removal (that´s all the time I had in Pittsburgh) my skin is much brighter, less greasy and looks so clean that I don´t need make up every day. In addition I am following Dr. Barad´s recommendations for acne patients. I am using Francesca (her own skin care line), clarisonic, and I am following her nutritional and make up recommendations.
I know it is a treatment for life, but it is really worth it and I regret that I didn´t do it before. Finding the appropriate team was essential to put my face in their hands. The staff at the ASLC is awesome. Thank you."

"When I first considered permanent eye liner I was nervous. Would it hurt, would I like it, can I afford it? I had all of my questions answered and I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. No more raccoon eyes during hot and humid days or when I get out of the pool and I spend less time applying make-up. It has been 5 1/2 years and it still looks great! If you have ever considered permanent make-up, I highly recommend Violet at the Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center."
"I went to the Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center a couple of days ago for tattoo removal and am quite impressed! I was very nervous since this was my very first treatment and the staff worked so well together as a team that they decreased my anxiety level and the entire appointment was wonderful! I have more sessions to go, and can't wait to go back for my next treatment and see the results!"

"I have problem skin and have been everywhere from Florida to Texas for treatment!!!! … Doctor Barad is the absolute best! She takes her time with you and explains everything in detail. She and her skin care team have cleared my problem skin, for which I am forever grateful. Also, their products are unbeatable for price and really work. Trust me, I have tried everything!! I love this place"
CitySearch Review 4/28/08
"They are great working one on one with people. You feel very comfortable with them and confident that they know what they are doing. My results were better than I hoped for!."
"Dr. Barad's referral to the Pittsburgh Vein Center has completely changed my life:
After over a decade of wearing compression stockings on a daily basis due to complications after cardiovascular surgery at the age of 24, I no longer have to wear them thanks to Dr. Barad's professional evaluation of my poor leg circulation. She was concerned enough about my overall well being to refer me for advanced treatment to Dr. Plaza-Ponte at the Pittsburgh Vein Center.
Although Dr. Barad is able to treat spider veins, she immediately recognized that my venous constriction was more than superficial and was concerned about my outcome. Since I am only 34 years old, she suggested that I schedule an appointment with Dr. Plaza-Ponte. My treatments were quick and the recovery time was minimal. I haven't felt this healthy in a long time."
