HIV, ARV, PMTCT, EID, Option B+… WHO? Global health terminology can often seem more like alphabet soup than meaningful abbreviations and phrases. For many people, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and confused by all of the global health jargon. Here at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, also known as EGPAF (another acronym!), we are trying to make life a little easier for our readers. Below are some of the most common and confusing global health acronyms and phrases, with simple and easy-to-remember definitions.

Ya..I was starting to think of that too .and that usually is not good for the commoners in the short to mid term. It just gives the management more room to squander and misdirect working capital that is in this case procured by selling out assets from under the common shareholders.

Retired IRS official Lois Lerner defends her actions in overseeing tax-exempt organizations in a new interview with Politico, but discloses few new details about the controversy. Read More »
The Internal Revenue Service said it has lost emails from five more workers who figure in the investigation into the alleged targeting of conservative nonprofit groups.
Those losses come on top of the agency's inability to provide some emails from retired IRS official Lois Lerner for the 2009-2011 period. The Lerner email losses – which the agency attributed to a crashed hard drive – have troubled GOP lawmakers, in part because the agency failed to disclose the losses to lawmakers for several months.
Friday's update was a follow-up report concerning more than 80 other employees who are involved in the investigation. Read More »
The Sunday talk shows covered tensions in the Middle East and skirmishes at home over the limits of President Barack Obama's executive authority—and here's the top five quotes. Read More »
Lois Lerner's attorney denied accusations that the former Internal Revenue Service official intentionally hid documents after her computer crashed three years ago.
"She was upset as anybody else was," said attorney William Taylor of the technical glitch that the IRS says destroyed two years' worth of email records. He spoke Sunday on CNN's State of the Union program. Read More »

Since today is #Flashbackfriday. I decided to do a flash back shoot that I haven't posted on here. Only a few photos were released from this shoot so I'm only going to tease y'all with two photos of the one and only Sean Alexander of Avenue 52. I had the pleasure of working with him earlier this summer with a few awesome people from Revived. I was contacted by the awesome designer, Song Vue (who I've shot photos for last year) about a shoot of a good friend of hers that was in the music industry. So of course I was totally excited and stoked after I did my research. Also joining us on this shoot were Sendy Hue, Gao Vang, and Song's sisters Chua and Houa. I also got to meet Mimi Alvarez who is such a sweet soul. If all goes well we will all work together in the future again.
Sean is a songwriter/producer and also a member of Avenue 52. He's written and produced hits for Shinee, Rainbow, TaeTiSeo, Super Junior, Kim Hyun Joon, and recently Nu'Est. Before the actual day of the shoot I got to meet and talk to Sean. I found him very humble and we had a similar taste in music which was awesome. It was such a pleasure meeting him and photographing him. I will post more photos when they are released.
Below is the full list of Credits and also his Tumblr page.

Dec 12 - Crazed North Texas father 'carved large PENTAGRAM into 6yr old back with box cutter
|3 years ago

A North Texas father was arrested for allegedly carving a large pentagram into his six-year-old son's back, telling a 911 dispatcher that he did it because 'it's a holy day.'
Brent Troy Bartel, 39, faces charges of aggravated a.ssault with a deadly weapon after he was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of attacking his young son with a box cutter. He's jailed in lieu of $500,000 bond.
According to police, Bartel called 911 shortly after midnight to report the incident, The Dallas Morning Star reported.
'I shed some innocent blood,' he calmly told the dispatcher. 'I inscribed a pentagram on my son.'
Asked why he did it, Bartel said, 'Because it's a holy day.' Wednesday's date is 12-12-12, a once-in-a-century event.
Shortly after, the boy's mother ran to a neighbor's house and also called 911 to report that her husband is hurting her son and is armed with a knife.
Officers who responded to the two calls arrived in the 3700 block of Ruth Road to discover the boy shivering in the front yard dressed in pajama pants without a shirt.
The child's back was covered with a large pentagram. Officers wrapped the six-year-old with a jacket and called the paramedics.
Chilling: Bartel, pictured here with his young son, told a 911 dispatcher that he 'shed some innocent blood' in honor of the 'holy day,' likely referring to the historic date 12-12-12
Inside Bartel's house police recovered a box cutter they believe was the weapon used to carve the symbol.
Pentagram is a five-pointed star inside a circle that is most commonly a.ssociated with the occult, including Neopagan faiths and Freemasonry, as well as satanism.
In a bizarre twist, Sgt. Nathan Stringer, of Richland Hills police, said that Bartel smeared some of his son's blood on the frame of his front door, according to CBS DFW.
'This is something you normally hear about in the movies, not something you expect to see,' Stringer told the station KENS5.

Occult symbol: Police say the father used a box cutter to cut a large pentagram - a five-pointed star inside a circle - on his son's back
The injured child was taken to Cook Children's Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition. The cuts to his back were not very deep, and the boy is expected to make full recovery.
According to police, they had responded to Bartel's home in the past over verbal domestic abuse, but they said that none of the previous incidents involved the child.

What a waste of money invested in this MOTO GP bike, since years now , for battling 10th. ! It's a real shame....Nothing against Mr.PAUL DENING but would like to see concrete results as this is still far away ....perhaps in some years. Must be frustrating for team and riders !

I heard yesterday that former city councillor Peter Kaufmann was a little perturbed about the city's top-secret sewage treatment deal with Veolia. Turns out he is.
In short, he thinks councillors are getting "shanghaied."
"I have difficulty being told 'trust us, and we'll explain it to you later,'" said Kaufmann, who also ran for mayor twice. "We're talking about the biggest expenditure I've seen in the city in my lifetime."
When Bill Norrie was mayor and council was nearly twice as big as it is now, every politician would gather in a meeting room at the convention centre for briefings from city staff on big issues.
That's when councillors could ask tough questions and get all the facts, including confidential ones. He said there is no reason a similar process couldn't be followed this time: get all the councillors in a room, show them the details and ensure they sign a confidentiality agreement and don't leave with any documents.
If nothing else, then the public can be assured their elected representatives are making informed decisions.
"This is our city council. They are supposed to run the city," said Kaufmann.

For years Sewell Mason remembered that man who came by his mother's house in Tennessee asking if any chairs needed recaning. Sewell watched as the man carefully wove reed through the holes of the seat, making a broken chair useful once more. 30 years later, he caned his first chair--reading from a booklet his sister sent him. Now he canes chairs as a hobby. Since caning can cost more than a chair is worth, Sewell happily teaches people, usually on beautiful antiques and family heirlooms saved from the trash by people who know one day they will refurbish them. The first three steps go quickly, but soon the careful weaving begins, and keeping a careful eye on the work is paramount. Recreate the beauty of your grandmother's rocker. Learn to weave cane for classic chairs. Practice on a frame or bring an old chair in need of repair.
Clyde Mumford took his first chair caning class here at Tillers only a few years ago. He liked caning so much, he's been doing it ever since and is interested in helping to teach others the craft. Clyde has graciously accepted the task of the teaching duties for this class and continues to learn more about caning as he guides new students.
"Mr. Mason was courteous and patient, very likeable. I'm pleased he is willing to share his experience." -student, 2009
"I enjoyed studying with such a knowledgeable instructor!" -student, 2009
"I thought Sewell was a very good instructor, letting us work at our own pace, but giving us a basic understanding of the process so that we could put the practice into context." -student, 2009
Enrollment: 4 to 10

This item sold on December 11, 2011.
This box took many hours to complete. When I found it, it was a shabby looking thing with peeling yellow contact paper all over it. I removed the contact paper completely, then covered the wooden box with old canvas school maps. I used mod podge matte to secure the maps to the box. Around the edges and corners, I used clear packing tape to protect the maps from ever coming off. The hinges are in good working order. Box measures 18.5" long, 10.75" wide, and 7.25" tall. I will list this as USA shipping only, contact me if you want to ship internationally. I will gladly edit listing. Let me know if you have any questions!

Los Angeles County officials have approved a ballot initiative that will ask voters to decide whether porn actors should be required to wear condoms in sex scenes.
The Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 Tuesday to ask voters whether to require adult filmmakers to get health permits from the county for film production.
The initiative is backed by AIDS Healthcare Foundation, and spokeswoman Lori Yeghiayan says condom use is one condition of getting the permits.
Porn producers would pay a fee to get permits, and the funds would be used to pay enforcement costs.
The city passed an ordinance earlier this year requiring condoms to be used in any porn that is granted a filming permit.
More than 371,000 signatures were gathered to get the initiative on November's ballot.

I am PROUD to be the first one to make a comment on this site. After patiently waiting for xbox-chipz to come through but to no avail I had to find another site. MODorDie was the answer to my prayers.!!! The site said they had chips in and they actually DID!! I was also surprised to see how fast they respond to email messages. They confirmed that my package was sent and I received it in "security" like packaging within 3 days. The chips were working and they were more than helpful in assisting me in all my questions.
I am almost hesitant to share how great this site is and the folks who run it. (want to keep it all to myself )
This will continue to be my site of choice from now on out.
Posted 12 April 2004 - 04:55 AM
Everything works to my satisfaction.
Posted 29 April 2004 - 12:59 PM
When I ordered my items I requested them to be sent FedEx. Apparently there is not an automated feature for the additional shipping costs, so they had to email me back days later requesting that I accept the additional charges. It took them five days to finally send my package from the date of my acceptance of the charges. Overall, it was over a week from the time I ordered to the time the packages were sent.
Additionally, it took me three emails before I ever got confirmation that they had sent my package.
After all that, they still sent it to the wrong address. When you order from their website there is no automated option to have your order shipped to a different address than the billing address, so I added my requested shipping address into the comments section. It was not until this morning when I looked up my package via FedEx tracking that I found out that modordie.com sent my package to the wrong state!
Posted 29 April 2004 - 06:24 PM
We just reached the 500 order mark and only 2 reviews?
Thanks to all our satisfied customers again : )

Thanks Jay, Mike, and the rest of the mod crew.
Posted 03 May 2004 - 02:38 AM
When you place an order it says we only offer FedEx 3 Day Air on "MoD System" Orders. If you want to upgrade your order to FedEx 3 Day Air (and you did not have an MoD System on your order) you must explain that in the comments and verify that you are authorizing an additional charge of $5.00 (so that we can upgrade your order to FedEx 3 Day Air). Secondly, we sent you several e-mails asking you if this were the case (since you explained that is what you wanted to do in the order comments, but did not verify the incurred additional charges). However, you did not respond to any of the e-mails for 2-3 Days. We got the response only 4 days later... That is why it took so long to ship out.
About the Incorrect shipping: There is most definitely an area to enter an alternate shipping address. The reason you package was originally addressed with your billing address is because one of our new tech's was accepting that order and happened to "goof". But we did contact FedEx for you and had them change the shipping address on your package (to the correct one) before it left the second check-point (therefore taking no more time then it would have if it were to leave with the correct address, originally).
Thanks, we do admit there was a bit of confusion on that order. But that is one of the first times we let an order slip (to that extent).
Keep up the good work guys; we can definitely use some activity in this forum! Good or bad, people need to know about us.
Posted 13 May 2004 - 02:56 PM
We are switching over to an entirely different, smoother and sexier layout as well as re-constructing the back-end of our site to a more better optimized Paypal Checkout.
Look for these changes to occur in the next month as you will be directed to our new domain MODorDie.net!
Thanks guys!

As six promising start-ups are getting ready to pitch tonight at thenextwomen event, three others don't have to pitch for a while; Skimbit, Life on a Shirt, welikefashion..they all defied the recession by ensuring the financial survival of their companies.
Skimlinks has announced its first round funding. The company, run by founder and CEO Alicia Navarro (picture) has attracted investment led by Sussex Place Ventures with participation from UK government body NESTA, The Accelerator Group, and Angels Duncan Jennings (eConversions) and Alex Hoye (Latitude Group). The amount of funding was undisclosed but Techcrunch reports it to be in the region of £700,000.
Skimlinks helps media monetise the traffic they sent to other sites. The service is currently free to use, and Skimlinks takes a small cut of the commissions earned by the website publisher.

Spreadshirt is a service that lets individuals and companies design their own shirts or pick other people's design for one. It also allows individuals to have their design available to others in the shop and allows partners to stock their own webshops with its shirts. Spreadshirt is run by female CEO Jana Eggers, who used to managed Quickbase at Intuit, an online platform which helps teams work together.

Also announced new investment. Welikefashion is an online shop that sells the clothes as seen on celebrities. It sells accesories, women's clothing and jewelry. Dutch investors Tromp and Aan de Stegge, the latter a businesmen who earned his money when selling dutch telecom provider Telfort, are looking at growing the company internationally.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - A California board has agreed to modify a freeze on public works spending that it imposed last month because of the state's budget crisis.
The Pooled Money Investment Board voted 3-0 Friday to allow the state to spend $650 million to pay construction bills that were incurred before the board imposed the freeze on Dec. 17.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said the Department of Finance would determine which projects get the money.
The board's previous action held up nearly $4 billion in funding for thousands of projects ranging from carpool lanes to classrooms.
Officials said the money was needed for other state operations as lawmakers debated how to deal with a budget deficit projected to reach $42 billion by June 2010.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- John Mayer fans have been huddling outside the South Carolina venue where the rocker has been rehearsing for his upcoming tour, hoping to get a glimpse of him.
RELATED: See more pics of John Mayer
For some lucky fans, that wait has paid off. For two hours Tuesday night, Mayer put on a free show for University of South Carolina students, giving back to the loyal fans who have camped out in downtown Columbia during his practice sessions.
"USC students: come watch us run the show tonight. Free," Mayer said in a Twitter message sent at 6 p.m. Tuesday, inviting students to pick up their free tickets at the Russell House student union on campus and show up for a concert two hours later.
RELATED: John Mayer says he never got over Jennifer Aniston
Organizers originally said only 200 tickets would be issued, but about 500 were gathered for Tuesday's performance.
Mayer has been in Columbia this week rehearsing for his two-year worldwide tour, which kicks off Thursday in Sunrise, Fla. He returns to South Carolina Feb. 8 for a show in North Charleston but doesn't have any concerts scheduled for Columbia. Given the warm reception he got Tuesday, Mayer said he might have to reconsider that.
RELATED: Mayer talks pop music in Details magazine
"We will hopefully see you at one of the area concerts, or we'll have to do a show back here," Mayer said. "We'll see you soon."
Tuesday's performance had all the elements of a standard arena concert: screaming fans, cameras feeding live images to a jumbo screen, even an encore. Trying out music from his latest album, "Battle Studies," Mayer told the crowd he planned to run through the touring concert playlist and make tweaks as necessary, even asking the crowd for advice on some show elements, like a semitransparent screen surrounding the stage.
"Thank you for helping us out," he said. "This is the way you should rehearse a show."
No visual or audio recordings were allowed at Tuesday's show, a request Mayer thanked his fans for respecting. Joining in on the fun, USC President Harris Pastides said he was glad the students who have been patiently hoping to see Mayer during his visit got their surprise reward.
"That absolutely rocked," Pastides said after the show. "What a treat."
John Mayer's charitable side doesn't stop there. He just announced that he would be donating the song "The Heart of Life" and $500,000 to benefit the Haiti. He also filmed a PSA to support the Red Cross Haiti relief effort, check it out!

Are you?
Giving up anything for Lent? I haven't done that in years. When I was young I thought I'd make the ultimate sacrifice and give up tv for Lent. I soon discovered that I really didn't miss it. That's probably why I don't watch much tv now.
Is it acceptable to add more vices for lent?? If so...hmmmm..thinking..
I've never practiced Lent, but it could be interesting to do some year. I have no idea what I'd give up though.

Construction and Engineering newsletter — April 2013
The April 2013 issue of Nabarro's Construction and Engineering newsletter is available now.
English law does not have a general obligation of good faith in contracts, but the Courts have reviewed this in the recent case of Compass Group UK & Ireland Limited (trading as Medirest) v Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust[2012 EWHC 781 QB and 2013 EWCA Civ 200]. While the High Court sought to broaden the interpretation of good faith obligations within contracts, the Court of Appeal has reversed that position to the effect that there is no general doctrine of good faith under English contract law, though such a duty is implied in certain categories of contract, eg insurance; the scope of an express good faith obligation will be strictly interpreted based on its terminology and context; and a duty of good faith or to not act in an arbitrary manner will not be implied into a contract…

It is difficult to adjust shutter speed and f/stop because controls are so close together.
Retractable lens hood covers shutter and f/stop controls when filter is attached.
It is easy to waste a shot when picking up camera and accidentally pressing the shutter release on front of camera.
The shutter release lock on the front of the camera locks both shutter releases.
There is no B shutter speed.
The T setting is used for long exposures, however, to get shutter to close, you must turn the shutter speed ring or move the film advance lever.
There is only an X sync (no sync for flash bulbs)
Camera focuses in the opposite direction of my Nikon lenses.
Focus scale only in meters.
The f/stop ring rotates in the opposite direction of the Nikon lenses.
The right side camera strap sometimes gets caught when closing the camera back resulting in light-struck film.
Shutter speed cannot be set between click stops. Must set only at click stops.
It is easy to forget to focus camera.
Film door for the 690 is a little tight

Excellent apartment complex and excellent management service. Thank you Jose Damian for the quick apartment fix!
Very prompt maintenance response. Oscar did a fantastic job getting my clothes up and running!
They have a lot of amenities and the price is okay for such a location so I would say its a good place. Yet the maintenance people are so slow!
This is a great building to live in and Leon is great. The people on here complaining aren't so great. Maybe if people weren't so dirty then the building wouldn't have to clean every minute. You guys are so un-greatful. Like I said this is a great place.
Leon is a good fellow.
We are just moving in. What we have seen so far we like a lot. The facilities are hands down the nicest we have ever seen in an apartment complex. We have talked with a few people there, but the two who have helped us the most and honestly gone out of their way for us are Victor and Leon. Leon was very professional and made our appr
I'm new to Yelp but because I am so happy to live at the Orsini, I thought I would write a review. I have been living at the Orsini now for over a year and I am extremely happy!! The amenities are amazing they have their own convenient store and the staff are amazing! Alicia, Natasha, Michelle, Jacob and Raven...are very friendly and
Just moved to Cali, attending USC. Saw a lot of housing when moving out here, and I knew I wanted to stay at one of the buildings like Orsini. I've been here for about 3 months now and it's fantastic. When I'm done with a long day of classes nothing beats coming home to my hotel of a complex. The amenities are great, the Internet i
I am not one to write reviews, but this place really deserves it. I moved in about 6 months ago and i completely love it. Leon and Marquis helped me find an apartment and they did an excellent job :).. The building has more amenities than the Ritz, i live in the second building which has a convenience store inside of it, the manageme
I've had the pleasure of visiting tons of residential locations throughout Downtown LA and have had the pleasure of working with a number of Managers and companies. I will say that my interaction with Shane Robinson has been and continues to be stellar on all levels. Shane and his team run a tight ship never losing site of what's mo
If you can manage to pay your rent on time and avoid trashing your entire apartment I can honestly say The Orsini is the best apartment for you.I live in a 2bd/2ba unit on the 3rd floor facing DTLA. Leon gave my roommate and I the initial tour and he was largely the reason we signed. Most leasing agents lack any sort of charisma or i
Just moved into the orsini downtown Los Angeles. First class service provided. If you live in the DTLA area or plan to live down here. You need to strongly consider the orsini. Great amenities , great customer service. The manager me Shane Robinson makes you feel like your a celebrity even if your on a budget. Thank you mr Robinson.
Shane Robinson does a great job at The Orsini Apartments, part of GHP Management.Joanne Jannard at ASCI Security
good looking property and good people in management to work with, especially the region manager Shane Robinson , very professional and knowledgeable.
I have been living at Orsini for the past 4 years and I am not planning on moving out! They have the best amenities in Los Angeles and Leon the leasing manager is very knowledgable and helpful. He is a true asset to the community. I strongly recommend checking this place out when you're looking for a home in downtown
Awesome place to live. The leasing staff especially Leon can definitely help you. I got a top floor two bedroom skyline view. I couldn't ask for more . Every time I have a request its taken care of , Leon still asks how am i doing .
Moved here from 717 just like the majority of my friends. My friend referred me to leon and since i moved in i also referred two pf my friends which now all live in the same building as me. Now, i cannot even express how much i hate moving, you have to research a bunch of places , deal with all this stuff, and then you may still not
Moved in to Orsini III not too long ago. The leasing and moving in process was very easy with the help of Marquis. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly!Despite all these negative reviews my experience living here so far has been great! Any and all service requests I put in get taken care of in a timely manne
I have been living in Orsini III for almost 15 months now, and I can say I have been satisfied with it in general. The location is good, right next to downtown. Only problems I have came across are not working elevators from time to time and no recycling pipes... It's a little expensive but I do recommend it to people who are looking
I have lived in Westwood , koreatown , and Culver city. I have recently made the move to downtown LA, about 7 months ago. Very hesitent I viewed a lot of places so many that I forgot and I was still not sure of where to live . when I walked in to Orsini I was amazed , leon helped me out through the whole process . I told him I can't
I've been a resident at Orsini for a year now and I absolutely love living here. The amenities are awesome. They have bowling, their own gym, a pool, a theater, and they even have a karaoke room! Everything is always kept clean. The staff is always so helpful. If you are going to check this place out, I reccomend asking for Leon. Whe
It's been already a month since I moved here. Well I read hundreds reviews about this place and I was seriously worried if moving here is a good decision. But I like literally everything here, and I didn't seen most problems discussed in reviews. No crowd, no noise. If something got broken maintenance is here within a day or two. But
This place is great I have been here for three years and seen this place only become better and better.The staff puts in such strong efforts, and they always show they care.The perks of living here only continue to grow, the events are great, the on-site market is a great place to pick up a sandwich or a fresh juice.I highly recommen
I have moved to the Orsini since July, this rating is not for the facility and environment in orsini 3. It is just for Marquis, the move-in coordinator. He really tries his best to help me with moving and getting a satisfied parking space, setting up a meeting appointment was easy, he also called to remind me to not forget to fill in
GHP PropertiesMy experience with GHP Properties!I moved into Visconti September 2011, unit #619 (2 months). For my purposes, the view was fine, but, a middle school across the street was a bit too noisey on Saturdays. I discussed this with a Visconti leasing specialist, and he arranged for me to move to an apt (#405) facing a garden
I have lived here for one and half years. It's a great property. I love this property and all the fancy amenities. This property is safe and quite. There are security patrols 24 hours in the building. The people from leasing office are nice and always helpful. I highly recommend Manager Leon. I would recommend Orsini to anybody!
I would really like to think Michelle and Natasha and the staff from resident services for providing a great service. Anytime I have an issue with something they're always there to help me. And when I have suggestions on how to improve the place they're always there to listen to me. I've been living here for 4 years and plan on stayi
I've been living in the Orsini for 2 years and I love the amenities & location!! rent is very reasonable and the staff specifically Natasha is very helpful! I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone :)
Beautiful property in fantastic location. The leasing staff is professional and courteous. Great amenities and convenient to everything near downtown LA, Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, etc.
Don't really care about all the negative reviews. This place is awesome. The staff has made my transition from Brooklyn NY to LA a pleasant one. From the security guards to the leasing agents everyone has been exceptionally nice and helpful. This place is DOPE! Much better than anywhere I lived in NY. And reasonably priced for that m
I honestly do not understand why all the bad reviews. I'm a resident at The Orsini and I LOVE IT . I haven't seen a place like this anywhere in downtown La. The leasing office staff is awesome and friendly , the receptionist is really really nice and helpful just like the guards , who keep us safe 24/7. I've never seen the mail room
I moved into Orsini in January 2013. I'm still a resident and I don't plan on going anywhere for a long while.Whether it's the pool, the gym, the movie theater, or the parties and complimentary spa treatments, I find myself never leaving the complex. However, when I leave, the concierge in front is the friendliest face I'll see all d
I live here at Orsini for almost two years. So I could say that I know lot of things about the place. First of all, I spent the first year "2013" at an apartment at Orsini II. It was very nice experience in general. When I moved, I noticed that the carpet was not that clean. I called the management office and they sent a company that
I've been living in the orsini apartments for 3 years and I have nothing to say but good things about it! The staff in the office are very helpful and Shane (manager) had been very accommodating and helpful with any issues I had! I would strongly recommend this place to anyone! Great central location, and pricing is very reasonable
My experience in general is great .. I live in Orsini IISome headlines ..1. facilities are nice, basketball yard, beautiful library, nice trail to enjoy walking and running .. etc 2. For an apartment in downtown LA, I feel safe with the security system .. also the petrol services is always have fast response when I call them to noti
I've been here for 5 years and I've been dealing with Alicia and Shane in the management. I love living here and I have nothing but great things to say about Shane and Alicia. Amenities and apartment layout reflect luxurious living in la. You need to check this place out! Those who are worried about management complaint, please tr
I made a yelp account just so i can review this building. When i moved in i chose a large 1 bedroom apartment for about 2 grand. I have not had any regrets living here, in fact i am now transferring within the community to something even larger :). I asked the manager why they have such bad reviews, he said " happy people don't post"
I have been a resident for about 2 years and I really like it here, I feel safe and the amenities are AWESOME! I especially like the gym and pool/bbq areas. I definately love having a gym right here i the building with free classes and trainers available. I go to Harold Deane's HD fitness classes on Monday and Wednesday nites at 8 pm
I don't know what all the whining is about. This place is awesome ! If you can afford it, then live here. If not, just move out already or keep looking. Granted I have only been here for 2 weeks, but it seems to me that people who complain about this place are high maintenance and have unreasonable expectations. No, things are not pe
I do not write yelp reviews very often, but I was surprised by all of the negate reviews for the Orsini. I have had a very positive experience throughout my 9 months of living here and would definitely consider signing another lease. One of my favorite amenities is the HD fitness class. They are free and are a great workout. HD is no
I personally am shocked to see so many negative reviews below me. I have had nothing but a positive experience living at The Orsini over the last nine months. The staff are always quick to respond to any request I may have and always in a timely manner.I also have enjoyed the workout facilities and especially the HD Fitness courses.
The Orsini as a whole is 3.5 stars, but what makes the Orsini 5 stars is HD FITNESS TRAINING!! I keep coming back for the sole purpose of Harold's energy, the FREE training, and a complete workout which has helped me ultimately stay in the best shape of my life! I have also met many new friends and been able to use workouts HD has ta
I am from NYC and came to LA as a travel nurse to explore the area. My agency placed me in this building and I got to look at it before moving and I will admit reading these yelp reviews made me very scared about where I was going. I am here to tell you that after living in this building for the past year I am absolutely in love. Sur
Been here for a few months now and overall, we like it here. Amenities are amazing. For the people that complain about staff and not being helped out, they have orsini live, which is a website where residents and staff have an open forum if something hasn't been fixed yet or a resident has a complaint and usually the staff is there t
This review is for the HD FITNESS CLASSES on Monday & Wednesday, held at ORSINI II ..... These classes are the BEST FREE FITNESS CLASSES EVER !!!!! I'm in pretty good shape and I still walk out of these classes DRENCHED IN SWEAT!!!!! Such an added BONUS to living at this complex. If these classes ever disappear I will be DEVASTATED !
Disclosure: This review is based on me being a visitor, since I do not live here.As a frequent Westsider, I have to make a comparison: college dormitory vs fraternity/sorority housing. First impression is Orsini is the former and Barrington Plaza (http://www.yelp.com/biz/) is the latter. I came here for a housewarming/birthday party
My husband and I love it here. We love the leasing membership office (especially Charisse, the Manager, and Shane the Regional Manager), is completely awesome and professional.There's always awesome events, and they love collaberating with residents!Harold Deane aka HD, (Orsini Fitness trainer), is outstanding, energetic, a TRUE resu
My boyfriend and I just moved into Orsini I about two months ago, and I have to say that I was worried, especially in regards to all the poor reviews I'd read on yelp. So far, though, it has been a really good experience, save for a couple of lesser issues. The pros of living here include the beautiful property, good-sized apartments
Moved in with the love of my life here to the Orsini Apt almost a month ago and I love it here. Leon was extremely helpful and such a nice guy. He made everything so quick and easy for us.Everyone from the leasing department was extremely friendly. The amenities are very nice. From outside to inside. Big things like pools, jaz, bball
Overall, the place is fine. But their free wi-fi is horrible. It disconnects every couple of minutes (not exaggerating). If they're going to advertise free wi-fi as an amenity, it should be decent wi-fi.
Love this place . Can't wait till the summer time when the roof top pools opens up
I lived here for 6 months and although it's a beautiful location with interesting amenities... let me tell you why we moved out. 1) The rent. Do you really want to pay the high price (since moving out, heard they are offering 2 months free...) 2) The management / security / staff workers never seen to be on the same page. The secu
I need to be here...- If you scope it, you need it...not a good thing cuz you can't settle for less. Very, very frustrating.
...i have moved into the phase II of the Orsini complex but for those moving into phase I, you may still use this as a reference as we share the same leasing office / property management office. Overall experience: Orsini II definitely promises a lot but they are clearly delayed. Originally scheduled for summer 2007, it turns out th

Muang Khua
Travel Guide
The northern town of Muang Khua sits on the bank of the river Nam Ou, near the mouth of the Nam Phak. It is a beautiful, peaceful spot halfway up the river between Nong Kiaow and Hat Sa (for Phongsali) in northern Laos.
This half-way house status is the main reason foreigners visit: to experience the beauty and serenity of the spectacular journey from Nong Kiaow to Hat Sa. Muang Khua itself is rarely a destination in its own right but nevertheless quite a few things can be seen and done locally.
While few travellers linger longer than a night or two, the town is becoming a true travellers' destination and over the years we have witnessed an ever growing number of tourists stopping in town, especially since the border to Vietnam opened not all that far from here. If you're headed to Dien Bien Phu in northern Vietnam, plan for at least an overnight stay in Muang Khua.
For those interested in trekking, the region is a great place to explore for a few days. The untouched and rarely visited mountains were heavily bombed during the US war as the US believed there to be significant Pathet Lao activity in the area -- today all that remain are scattered villages. Expect terrific scenery coupled with a bit of a "rough and ready" trekking experience.
Some find the town to be a little cold and unfriendly, particularly compared with the rest of Laos, and the mounds of rubbish that have been dumped by the river's edge are off-putting. That said, if you stick around and wander the small side alleys, or trek through the mountains, you may discover a side to Muang Khua not easily visible at first glance. This is a great place to go if you want to step off the road well-travelled, without going too far off the track.
There is only one ATM in town and it doesn't as yet accept Visa or Mastercard, so those requiring Lao money need to visit the Agricultural Development Bank on the main road and ask the staff inside if they will allow you to withdraw money from it using your credit card. This usually works, but if it doesn't, you will need some foreign currency to convert to kip in order to pay for your onward travel and your hotel bill.

Matthew Feyld: Yesterday & TodayJuxtapoz // Friday, June 20, 2014
We have been a huge fan of Canadian artist, Matthew Feyld, for a long time. The funny thing is, we have been a fan of two different kinds of Matthew Feyld's now for the past few years, and didn't even register that they were the same person. The first one is a minimal figurative painter with almost comic influence and the second is one with wonderful abstract sensibilities.
Dan Bannino's "Still Diet"Photography // Friday, June 20, 2014

Jacub Gagnon: "Worlds Collide" @ ThinkspaceJuxtapoz // Friday, June 20, 2014
Exhibiting a technically meticulously detailed array of acrylic paintings, Toronto based artist Jacub Gagnon opens his solo show at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles on Saturday June, 21st. He creates these exacting works with minute brushstrokes and layers, creating tensions between the artificial and the natural that reach to realms of the propped, plausible and absurd. Illuminating the undeniably effective visual contrasts with a stark black background, Gagnon stages a beautiful realistic portrayal of characters. The odd, the absurd and the frictions of nature intrigue and attract while showcasing impressive talent.
