Pedagogy of the Offended: Mr. Bib Responds, Rants, Reviews (Helpfully, Politely, Patiently)
Categories: OC Bookly
Mr Bib enjoys, appreciates, tries to live up to the gift--not to mention its responsibilities--of a forum featuring his interpretations, recommendations, critiques of books. It's discouraging, if perhaps not unexpected, to find readers who either don't understand or don't get it. Don't like my rhetorical flair? Fair enough. I have no problem with negative critiques of my writing, including not taking to the purposeful and charming wise-assery which delights so many others.The construction of a persona, both of a writer and, here especially, of a composite imagined audience (in the case of the all-too-real and silly people assembled in last Sunday's post, "Don't Tell Dad and Mom") is a much-used and highly successful rhetorical strategy. Perhaps readers who don't know that need to, well, get out more. Even infrequent readers of the OC Weekly will expect, even appreciate, some bad attitude, some style. Newbies might want to orient themselves to the particular tone of this magazine's writing. Hey, how about taking a look at the excellent work of other columnists, bloggers, reviewers, "The Mexican" of ¡Ask a Mexican!, sex advice guru Dan Savage and, yes, Mr. Bib's other own recent posts? It couldn't hurt. Or maybe it could. Either way!
So, here, I respond sincerely (or try) to specific comments by some readers. Not to brag, but I received lots of kudos via Facebook. Thanks for reading, by the way (except to those who didn't). Now, please catch a clue. First, pal, my post was not a "sloppy article." It wasn't, strictly speaking, even an article. It also wasn't sloppy. It offered a clear thesis, and irony too. It presented the books chosen by teaching professionals just now, which carry with them certain assumptions and a worldview. It had pictures, and jokes, too. What more could you want? But, just to make sure you get it, Guinea, it was a clever way to point out the obvious, that a liberal education involves encouraging literacy, developing a conversation or discourse, reading challenging books, considering a worldview - as against affirming the prejudice and national chauvinism and ahistorical magical thinking required by, well, who exactly? Dinesh D'Souza, sweetheart of the conservative intellectual crowd? It elevates problematizing as a teaching and learning strategy. So, no Dinesh D'Souza on a book list modeling these. (I just like saying that, over and over.) In his classic Pedagogy of the Oppressed, education activist Paulo Freire writes, famously,
|Teacher's pet
"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality an discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."
Dig it. A couple of you write that I am very "negative." I can't imagine what that even means. You mean that I locate a problem and try to understand, respond, explain it? Is Freire, above, being negative? Is James Loewen, in Lies My Teacher Told Me, being negative? How about education thinker and all-around Bitchin' Human Beings Jonathan Kozol, Diane Ravitch, Jonathan Swift, George Orwell, Lenny Bruce?
But, hey, If you want more "positive" or perhaps affirming - yet ever so charming, angry and somehow still elegant - prose from Mr. Bib, do take a look at recent heartfelt reviews of some amazing books recommended by The Bibliofella, including one on Orange County baseball (of all things), Marty Smith's excellent consideration of the revenue stamp for hunting (The Wild Duck Chase), and Ben Fountain's brilliant Iraq novel, Billy Lynn's Long Half-Time Walk. Just for starters. Again, would you call a revisionist history of the racist politics of OC baseball "negative" for pointing out a system of purposeful segregation? Would you accuse Smith of being "negative" because he takes care to explore and document the ironic difficulty of funding conservation programs through the selling of duck hunting licenses? Would you give Mr. Fountain grief for pointing out the hypocrisy of our national amnesia about war and empire, not to mention our duplicitous and pathetic treatment of combat veterans as against the dumb-dumb mob spectacle of football? Well, maybe you would. Still, if you can't say anything nice, I believe, you ought to perhaps say instead what's true.
|Singer, teacher, activist. Signer.
As regards people who can't get past my first paragraph, who don't like writers who "come out swinging" and identifying assholes as, well, assholes, my rhetorical effort is not to capture the "goodwill of my audience," no, not if my audience is humorless and can't bother to read on. Sorry. Life is short. Again, you need to get out more, cf00. Another hero of mine (to be, somehow, both negative and positive at the same time), is the late folksinger, Industrial Workers of the World activist and people's movements historian Utah Phillips. "You've got to mess with people," he explained often. Is his homemade sign at right "negative"? Is he not showering you with goodwill? Don't like his funny hat?
|Anti anti-intellectualism
As regards name-calling. No, dear readers, identifying and locating "anti-intellectualism" is not calling people names. It is not only a label for someone who in this case disagrees with me, author of a terrific blog and kooky radical teacher. It is a documented and much-considered phenom of American history, and a part, sadly, of the character of our complicated and yet fascinating nation. Read some of it in Richard Hofstadter's Anti-intellectualism in American Life or Susan Jacoby's most excellent, mean, funny The Age of American Unreason. (You're welcome.)
"Fogey" is a funny word, perhaps problematically ageist, but it suggests brilliantly the kind of cartoon person so many former students (now adults) seem intent on portraying in what passes for real life: looking for some atavistic pretend-land, staying purposefully out of touch, living in some memory of their own now faded engagement and, yes, embracing politically and culturally conservative positions. Indoctrination? Into what, critical thinking? Yes! I plead guilty as charged, Mr. Whitesides. It's not, by the way, "my syllabus" for Christ's sake. If, as Coelebs helpfully points out, you "read more carefully," not to mention read the entire delightful post, you'd perhaps understand that I did not choose these books, and maybe get the joke that they were chosen by others because, presumably, they represent some of the best of what is out there by way of teaching college reading, research, critical thinking, social problems, politics, like that. Did I mention that it does not include, because it does not take seriously (and shouldn't) Dinesh D'Souza, or the Chicken Soup for the Fill in the Blank inspirational books, tired self-tomes, anything at all by the annoying Thomas Fried-
|Bestselling self-help author
man, corporate success biographies, Tuesdays With Morrie, Eat Pray Love, Deepak Chopra, just to mention a few of my favorites of the worst.
Regarding my "bias." Yes, it's clearly for anti-corporate values, which is an awkward but kind of great phrase. "For anti." Hmmm. Nice to be positive I guess. Isn't that your bias, friend, against corporate hegemony and in favor of democracy? Please, please, please explain to me how "corporate values" (WTF?) have a place in serious learning besides to point out their sadistic and dehumanizing and necessarily selfish ethos and practice, and how antithetical they are to a liberal arts education built on fairness, skepticism and - well why not? - let's say it together: liberation.
If I wanted corporate values, I'd turn on the TV. But if I turned on the TV I'd want to be able to develop a critique of what I was watching. I'd want to have taken a class like mine or as taught by the many excellent instructors at UCI, many of whom begin their classes by suggesting to students that they take the fun online Political Compass test. Just to help them see the world, and where they might be in it. Hey, what a great phrase, Mr. Bib, you handsome and clever guy. That's part of the mission of higher ed.
Also, "Don't tell your parents" was ironic. Get it? Of course, the whole point is for students (and everybody) to tell their parents. And their boss, their fellow students, co-workers. Again, as regards my tone, in what world exactly do you people dwell? (Besides Orange County, I mean). I am truly, genuinely confused here. Really. Do young people not play symbolically violent video games, watch all sort of wonderfully sarcastic and irreverent news and fake
|Little Mitt
analysis shows (Colbert, Daily Show, Maher) not to mention insulting and stoopid (sic) "legitimate" news reporting? Do they not watch the brilliant The Simpsons, Moral Orel, The Sarah Silverman Show, whose beautiful and super-smart by the way star just released a brilliant bit of political video voter education, designed to yes, offend if you are anti-democratic and to delight if you are a liberationist, beyond only the hilarious and filthy humor. What's more "offensive" here? The attack on voter turnout by the party of Dinesh D'Souze or tongue-in-cheek (or who knows where) blue (ha ha) humor? You decide. No, on second thought. I'll decide. And I vote for Sarah.
|Role model. And not Dinesh D'Souza
She and other alternative media, entertainment, analysis and reporting are welcome relief from the never-ending menu of panem et circenses from professional media nonsense-makers, last week offered in the Shuttle landing and a new I-phone. Students (and others) might mistake this for reality. They might not understand they are being assaulted. The idea that they and their parents cannot handle Mr. Bib's tiny rants ignores the fact that they are targets of every kind of purposefully demeaning, self-disregarding, pandering, deceitful, anti-social advertising, corporate advertising, propaganda and underwriting, not to mention outright lies by campaigning politicians. Are they not more familiar in fact with the "negative" critiques of, in no particular order, poor people, ethnic minorities, gay and lesbian people, women (see a beautiful, smart, talented one at right), workers, teachers, and even themselves by the likes of Messrs. Limbaugh, Beck, Prager and the other poltroons of the Right? And a GOP candidate right out of the failed financial mismanagement class who wants to manage our national financial life and has defined 47% of the American people as, well, you know, well, not so much.
Thus concludes my jolly and thoughtful rebuttal. Ha! Teacher said "butt." The Bibliofella loves our little talks, and welcomes your
|Object lessons not role models. Get it?
comments. Even better, I welcome your reading suggestions, for Orange County books and beyond.

Reinvigorating Publicly Funded Medicare in Ontario: New Public Policy and Public Administration Techniques
Fenn, W. Michael, Canadian Public Administration
When elected in 2003, the new Ontario government faced a daunting health care reform agenda and a major fiscal and bureaucratic repositioning agenda, and both agendas were on an accelerated timetable. In response, the Ontario public service established a new mechanism both for developing and approving health care policy initiatives, and for implementing those initiatives once adopted. The health care reform agenda in Ontario was--and is--wide-ranging: from primary care and drug programs, to improved system performance (shorter wait rimes for key medical procedures) and institutional realignment. This experimental new mechanism--the Premier's Health Results Team (HRT)--appears to have achieved solid results and the Ontario health care system is showing signs of being on the road to recovery. The experience of the HRT also points to a potential cure for another persistent failing of public service reform efforts in a parliamentary system. The HRT model suggests a mechanism to enlist the increasingly important broader public sector in governments' own reform efforts, by using leverage within that wider system (human resources, technological, information, and finance) to enable the system to reform itself.
The symptoms
The evidence ... shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread, and that, in some serious cases, patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care ...
... For many years, the government has failed to act; the situation continues to deteriorate ... While the government has the power to decide what measures it will adopt, it cannot choose to do nothing. (1)
Who makes such incendiary comments about the lack of efficiency, integration and client satisfaction with Canadian health care services? Were they special interest advocates lobbying for even more money for health care personnel and institutions, or right-wing proponents of two-tiered medicare, or the provocative editorial gibes of a metropolitan newspaper? No, these were the views of the justices of the Supreme Court of Canada in the significant Chaoulli case, also speaking--some might suggest--as typical middle-aged Canadians and potential patients.
The diagnosis
The malaise was born, at least in part, of institutional and political neglect, heading for the political perfect storm. What were the symptoms?
--Demanding baby-boomers, who had driven public policy since the Second World War, were becoming grandparents and care-givers for elderly parents. As consumers and voters, they increasingly recognized the physiological evidence of their own impending demands on the health care system.
--The cost of remarkable new pharmaceuticals, prostheses, and medical technologies was rising exponentially, fuelled by barely sustainable government and employer drug plans.
--Direct and indirect employment in health care had become one of the largest and least fiscally constrained elements of the public sector.
With nearly half the Ontario budget devoted to health care, health expenditures were also threatening to crowd out many important social, environmental, and economic priorities. While Canadian medicare was a near-term economic advantage-in a North American context, unconstrained growth in health care costs would ultimately undermine economic performance and global competitiveness, as it was already doing in the United States.
The accumulating pressures in the system had been referred to journalistically as an "impending tsunami." One might therefore have expected at some point to have seen more urgent, focused, and collaborative action from all those within the health care system, including the governments ultimately accountable for that system. One might have anticipated a single-minded concentration on improved operational efficiency, population wellness, reduced overhead, and clinical integration. Other segments of society, and other jurisdictions, had already met the modern challenge of the demanding customer, responding with increased productivity, cost-reduction, and better use of information technology. …

Re: The Typhon Pact
Sci wrote:
The Tholians
it had been, but it was not actually founded to service anti-Federation hostility.
I see. And that is how you explain Tezrene's comment to Bacco about "it is YOU who are surrounded by
a heavily armed hostile power
" (emphasis mine)?
The Tholians were the only ones acting hostile, and
was in retaliation for what can at best be described as an act of passive pre-emptive hostility from the Federation -- one that could have endangered Tholia's existence.
And is everything the Typhon Pact does that could conceivably be regarded as hostile, somehow the Federation's fault? If the Federation can be wrong, and can do things that can cause the Pact to act, then why can the reverse not be true?
Again, Sekki was working for the Tholian government, which, if you read
A Singular Destiny
, you will recall was acting independently,
without the rest of the Pact knowing about it
. The Tholians were doing this as revenge for Bacco's having deprived them of the Breen mercenary fleet just prior to the Borg Invasion.
In other words, the Tholians were going behind the Pact's back to screw over the Federation.
That still seems rather convenient - the use of Sekki to commit crimes that the Pact, as a whole, can quite easily disavow any knowledge of. Quite a readily-made scapegoat, that.
The back cover copy talked about it being a
Pax galactica
Oh yes, and the back cover blurbs don't ever make mistakes, do they?
Tell me, do you think that the rise of China, India, Brazil, and the European Union as major world powers constitutes a threat to the U.S. in real life?
I would call China a threat, yes. Remember Tiananmen Square? Don't tell me they don't have a hostile intent.
Do you think that a nation is only safe from its neighbors if it is a lone superpower to whom no other nation is an equal?
If that means that no other nation would dare attack it, then it just might be.
"Professor, isn't this Pact a threat to the Federation?"
I am well aware of that scene. And I have never advocated that the Federation should openly *attack* the Pact, or that open warfare should break out between the two. (Although if the Pact attacks first, the Federation would of course have every right to defend itself.)
The Typhon Pact has been compared, in theory, to the Warsaw Pact. That may be a closer analogy than anyone realizes. Are you aware of how often, and how close, the US and the Soviet Union have gotten to flat-out warfare? There were times when we were a hair-trigger away from World War III. Google the name 'Stanislav Petrov' if you don't believe me. (Although, to be fair, Petrov was a Soviet officer who himself prevented war from breaking out. I don't discount the possibility of a Typhon Pact citizen doing the same.)

She insists on getting an iphone and says she will play for the monthly fees until she runs out of money, then she will do chores. She offered this, as you can tell she reallyyyyy wants one. My husband says the money she saved should be going towards college..im ok with her getting one but unsure...do you think we should let her get an iphone?
Debate: Should My Daughter Get The iPhone?
^^ I like this idea.
Once her music teacher could not make it and she would have been stuck till 7p if she couldn't call me to pick her up. She just opened the iPhone 5 this morning. Although I thought she'd be fine with the iphone 4s she had, but dad spoils.
Remember no one is perfect, everyone's ass has a crack in it.
^Cassandra^ June 21, 2012
Strong. Smart. Capable. Worthy.
If she wants to pay for it with money she saved, I'd let her. I blew through my savings at her age by buying make up and partying, and I only had saving because my parents saved for me. She sounds a lot more responsible than that.
I'd let her get the phone she wants and pay for half every month. $2,000 would last her about 8 years at $20/month, that way she won't spend all her money and pretty soon she can get a real job after school.
ODS got a phone when he was 7, he's 9 now and has a basic Android, it's about $10/month on our plan and he's very responsible with it. But he goes back and forth between his mom's house and ours so that's a bit different, I guess. I think YDS will get a phone when he's around 10, he's 2.5 and has an iPod touch. Works for us.
Congrats, you're not a whore! - Allouette
Yes absolutely.... she saved $2000 she should be able to buy it if she wants that

The $2K she has saved up is impressive - I would encourage her to keep saving, and maybe use it for a backpack trip to Europe when she's older or some such thing.
Boy / girl twins 11.2.11
^^ how so? I mean I understand a basic phone with call and text being considered a necessity. But why is a smart phone a necessity for a kid?
I wouldn't let my son have an iPhone that young but that's just me. One of DH's female cousins who is about that age or maybe a year or 2 older has an iPhone and it has made her totally rude and uncommunicative. At every single family gathering she sits there with her iPhone doing facebook, games, talking to friends, or whatever and totally ignoring everyone else. It's completely rude and disrespectful. At Thanksgiving this year she went to another room to play on her phone rather than talk to people and came out to the main gathering only to ask her parents if it was time to go yet because she was bored. My SIL is refusing to get her son (who is 11, almost 12) a cell phone because she doesn't want him to be playing on it all the time instead of interacting with his family and having conversations.
The issue isn't the phone. The issue is the parenting.

Jamaica Kincaid wins American Book Award
NEW YORK (AP) — Author Jamaica Kincaid and film critic Armond White are among the winners of the 35th annual American Book Awards, which celebrate multiculturalism and free expression.
The Before Columbus Foundation announced Tuesday that Kincaid was cited for the novel "See Now Then." White received an "Anti-Censorship Award" because of his being "unfairly removed" from the New York Film Critics Circle. In January, he was expelled after allegedly heckling "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen at the group's annual awards banquet. White, known for his contrarian views, has called the allegations a "barrage of lies."
Other winners include Andrew Bacevich's nonfiction "Breach of Trust" and Alex Espinoza's novel "The Five Acts of Diego Leon." The awards will be presented Oct. 26 in San Francisco.
The Before Columbus Foundation is a nonprofit founded by author-playwright Ishmael Reed.

"Soviet photographers played a pivotal role in the history of photography. Covering the period from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution through the 1930s, this exhibition explores how early modernist photography influenced a new Soviet style and how photography, film, and poster art were later harnessed to disseminate Communist ideology."
In conjunction with this powerful exhibition, and with generous support from Genesis Philanthropy Group, the Jewish Museum offers programs that "speak" to Russian-speaking visitors, holding two special events in the month of November — a family day, with gallery tours and workshops in English and Russian, and an after-hours evening of music, drinks, and art viewing for young professionals — as well as a Russian language gallery guide of The Power of Pictures.
The exhibition is on view through February 7, 2016. Private group tours of the exhibition may be arranged.

Grand Wizard Theodore, whose hands were fast
Lyric Meaning
"Grand Wizzard" Theodore Livingston is the DJ who is widely credited with the invention of scratching. He explained the eureka moment in this amazing book:
One particular day I was in the house practicing [DJ'ing], and the music was a bit too loud, so my moms came and banged on the door and said, "If you don't turn that music down, you're going to turn it off." And she had the door open, and while she was talking to me, I was still holding the record, and the other record was still playing. And when she left the room, I thought about what I was doing; I was trying to make a tape and I was like, "Wow, this really sounds like something." I practiced with it and perfected it and used it with different records, and that's when it became a scratch

Hi! Not particularly. I'm hesitant to tell every one at work just yet bc I'm only 5.5 weeks but all my tests look good and I'm progressing normally. I'm a little concerned about how my boss will take it. I'm kind of like his right hand and I know when I tell him he will be thinking what is he going to do when I'm gone and i would rather him be happy for me. I don't know, I'm sure he will be happy, I'm just a scaredy cat lol!

If you've never wanted a tiny plushie Splork of your own, you haven't got that far in Peggle yet. Well, now you can get one of those, a Peggle mug, two Peggle badges, a Peggle mouse mat, a Peggle iPhone skin, Peggle, Peggle Nights, £30 of iTunes vouchers to buy Peggle and anything else on the iPhone, a bumper sticker reading XTRM FVR, and for some reason a bunch of Chuzzles.
All you have to do is save a replay of a great Peggle shot, zip it up, and post it on our forums. It can be Peggle Deluxe, Peggle Nights, or Peggle Extreme, but it probably has to be the PC version. We're not looking for the highest score, just that mix of style, skill and dumb luck that makes Peggle fun. Here's how to submit one.
Deadline: Any replays posted in that thread before 9AM GMT on Monday the 8th of November are eligible.
Good luck!

Rivers Turnovers Prove Costly

It was something Philip Rivers had never done before, and something he hopes he'll never do again.
The Chargers quarterback threw four interceptions and had two fumbles for a total of six turnovers. Both the picks and total turnovers were career-highs.
Photo Gallery: Broncos vs. Chargers | More Photos
"It was mostly just poor throws," said Rivers. "I wasn't fooled out there once today. The first interception, I didn't see exactly how it ended. I knew I gave Gates a chance down there and they ended up with it. The other ones were bad throws. There's really no other reason for them."
Two of River's turnovers went for scores for the Broncos, as Tony Carter returned a fumble for a 65-yard touchdown and Chris Harris had a 46-yard pick six. To his credit, Rivers accepted responsibility for his mistakes. He took the loss hard and to heart.
"Every loss hurts," he said. "Regardless of what negative or bad plays (I made), or how you lose a game, when you lose a game, it's rough. Especially a game when you had such a big lead. So much was at stake for an early in the year division game. It's not the way we want to go into the bye week. Certainly, it's not the way I, and we, wanted to perform. We're 3-3, you regroup, and get ready to go."
Rivers is set to address the media tomorrow later this week. How he regroups after sleeping on his performance will say a lot about the make-up of the Chargers quarterback. Read

I had to change my picture to do this post. I'm embarassed to post this.... This is my first child and I want to know if I need to shave my pubic hair before I go to the hospital for labor. Right now, my stomach is so big, I can't see to shave. WHat am I supposed to do? SHould I go and get a bikini wax? I don't want to look like a chia pet while I'm giving birth.

I haven't shaved in about 4 weeks, I developed a rash on the top of my vagina that goes up onto my belly occasionally. It will come and go, and it itches HORRIBLY. When I did shave to try and help the rash, it made it worse (of course) So I do not plan on shaving anymore this pregnancy. I'm miserable with the rash and I am sure my doctor will not care, i'm sure she's seen plenty of unshaven vagina! Don't worry about it :)

#1 was three and half weeks early. I had her on a Saturday and the next Monday I had an appointment for a pedicure. I hadn't had time to shave or groom anything. I was kind of embarassed about it, until I was in full-blown labor, and then I really didn't care. My dr and the nurses didn't care either. With #2 I was a little more careful to keep everthing trimmed and tried my best to keep my legs shaved. Everyone says waxing hurts a lot more when you're pregnant, because of the hormones and everything, so I never got the nerve up to wax. Though a lot of people do. It's purely personal preference. Your dr isn't even going to notice.
I have the most amazing family in the world!

Clogged milk ducts!
Comments (1)
YES! I had a clogged duct a couple times a few weeks ago. I did the warm compresses, start nursing on the side with the clog, tried pumping, etc... But the thing that helped me the most was actually nursing my daughter in another position. Usually I nurse her in the crossover hold but I found that if I nursed her in the football hold a few times when I have a clog, it took care of it. Somehow it just drains a different area a little bit better. I DID use the warm compresses first just to try to get things moving. Also while your LO is eating, try to gently massage where the clog is, massaging towards your nipple. Might help too.

Ben Affleck recently sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, just ahead of the theatrical release of his new film, Argo. Affleck, 40, spent much of the interview discussing the long, winding trajectory his career has taken, addressing his high and low points with equal candor. Now, with Affleck once again under the spotlight and with Argo already garnering plenty of Oscar buzz, Affleck seems to have finally found peace of mind, both artistically and personally:
"I made the decision: 'I'm never, ever, ever going to do anything where I don't absolutely kill myself to get it right,' " he recalls.
Vanished is the man who dwelt on his deep insecurity when he and this reporter last sat down about five years ago. During that conversation, he admitted the Gone Baby Gone shoot had left him physically sick from stress. "I'm very insecure," he said. "I'm human, just like anybody else."

With 1568 raw lumens of light, this small light has the same light output as a 50W MR16. At a small 3"-3" this light can fit anywhere. Pulling only 1.45 amps you won't find a more efficient, compact light source in HID or halogen. This light pulls half of what your stock turn signals use. Includes 2 lamps, plug & play wiring harness, switch, mounting brackets and mounting hardware.
Firewall boot simply pops into place just like a rubber grommet after you drill a 1.25" hole. The boot can be trimmed to fit a variety of wire thicknesses while protecting them from chafing against the firewall's sharp edges. Once the wires are run, secure the boot with a zip-tie, and you're done!

Works well for my driving lights and rear work lights. Would have been nice to be able to illuminate switches with dash lights so they are easier to find and turn on in the dark.

Both roomy bedrooms have ensuite baths and private patios opening to the pool and gardens, as well as outdoor showers for a rinse after the beach. One is furnished with a queen bed, the other with a king and a love seat that opens to a sleeper sofa.

"Dream come true"
I rented all the units and brought the whole family...children and grandchildren. We had the amenities of a 5 star hotel with the privacy to be ourselves. The accommodations were excellent...pool a delight and a special treat for the children. Beaches galore, all kinds, private and secluded, snorkeling, public, waves, calm just great! Local food delicious, had to adjust to island time but no problems there. Everyone in our family is from age 67 - 1 had a fabulous stay and we would all do it again! It was a great bucket list vacation!

"Great stay!"
We had a party of 17, therefore rented the entire compound! It was a great space to keep everyone together, yet comfortable separate. We loved the area---picked bananas from the trees and fed the neighboring dog :) Laura and her husband who came and greeted us were very trusting and helpful in recommending places to visit while in Vieques.

"Great accommodations and service!"
We rented the 3 cottages for the whole family! we were 13 people, 4 couples and 5 teenagers. The adults included my parents (78 years old), and my sisters with her husbands (in their 30s, 40s, 50s). Bravos management people at Vieques were great! They contacted me a few days before to make sure the bed arrangement by cottage was adequate, number of queen, single beds needed, etc. Laura was at the aiport in Vieques when we arrived and ready to drive us to the Car Rental, and then to the property. She explained everything about the cottages to everyone and gave great recommendations for restaurants and beaches. My father had a medical emergency and with a phone call to alberto Munoz (mananger) he got the medication needed (after the pharmacy had closed) and delivered it to my father! We were so grateful!!!
Regarding the cottages, I recommend Sunset for older people or people with babies that would have a problem to go up and down the stairs many times a day. (Originally my father was supposed to be at Moonrise but due to the stairs, and walking on a narrow pathway next to the pool to get to the cottage, we switched him to Sunset and he was very happy). Needless to say, the 3 cottages are great and you will be happy in any of them. Starlight cottage is beautiful! It has a lot of light (and stairs too!). And Moonrise cottage is the newest cottage, it has 1 bedroom/bathroom downstairs (nothing else) and up the stairs the living room/kitchen and main bedroom/bathroom). The 3 kitchens are fully equipped! We cooked a lot, lobster, fish, pancakes, etc. There are beach towels for everyone, and 8 beach chairs. We just bought at Black Beard Sports some beach umbrellas and were ready to hit the beaches! Which are Beautiful! We are all from Venezuela (living in the us) and we can tell you these beaches are worth visiting! Blue beach, Red Beach, Playa Prieta, Green Beach...! :) And then coming home to Bravos Beach Cottages: You are guaranteed a great time!

This was the perfect place. This property is georgous!! everything was extremely well kept and clean. The decor is very nice, the beds are sooo confortable!. It was better than I had imagined. We were 19 in total staying in the property and the listing said it would only fit 14, but there plenty of beds and sofa beds to accomadate exactly 19 people. the pool area is great cause the BBQ is right next to it..needless to say that the kids loved the pool. Customer service is great as well. We had an issue with the stove and it turned out that the gas tanks were empty, but we called and in no more than an hour they were there with full tanks! When we first arrived they told me that the pool had justr been cleaned and i asked if they would come back and clean it in a few days for us since we had a lot of kids and the pool would probably get cloudy..she told me to call her if that would happen. Well I didnt even had to call cause after three days in the property the pool guy came and cleaned it again. I am very impressed with the management company that runs this property, they are experts. I live in San Juan Puerto Rico and have rented in Vieques before, but this one has by far the best one yet. I reccomend this with my eyes closed..you will love it!

"lovely time but Sunset needs maintance"
We had a great time at our family reunion in the entire Bravos Beach Cottage compound, but there were some maintance problems that need to be resolved. The upper shower in Starlight leaked through to the room below. The dishwasher in Sunset did not work at all, There were rat droppings in the master bedroom of Sunset and the dresser in the bedroom was broken and moldy. Overall we had a good time but for the price and the reviews these problems were unexpected!!

"beautiful private location for our wedding party"
we stayed at the cottages and found a beach for our wedding. what a great location. private, safe and beautiful. The Bravos boys picked us up at the ferry and gave us some tips and showed us around the property. we had one little hick-up we had a leak in our bathroom over the weekend. which meant we could not get a plumber until monday. I would highly recommend this property. also the owners were very friendly and honest with every correspondence.

"Good times!"
We enjoyed our stay very much at Bravos Beach Cottages. We rented the entire complex and each one of the properties had a perfect layout and were very clean. They were also well equipped. We had a few technical issues with the ac and some water leaking at one of the properties, but nothing major that could affect the comfort and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

"Simply a Wonderful Oasis"
I highly recommend this property. I rented the entire compound and each cottage provided it's own unique tranquility. My group had included twelve adults and one child and each person was delighted with the accommodations. We were together on the compound but yet separate enough that everyone had their own space to do whatever they chose such as swim, read, play games or nap on one of the many hammocks on the property. The owner Cheryl D. was great to work with. She was very helpful and not to mention has done a fabulous job with her property, both from the indoor décor to the outstanding outdoor landscape. The property is simply beautiful and serene. Upon arrival on the island, we were met by one of the Bravo Boys property managers (Tom) and he certainly took great care of us. There is no doubt that Bravo Boys are most professional and truly are magnificent host. Even when we contacted them due to being lost on the island, they were quick to help. Thank you for making this vacation such a memorable one. I look forward to returning to this Wonderful Oasis.

"Great Place"
We stayed at CBV lower landing for a week in February. We loved the place. All the comforts of home including a nice quiet area of town. Very clean. Modern decor and plenty of space for entertaining. We were within walking distance to the ferry dock but were not caught in any of the bustle of people coming and going from the island. Would absolutely rent from Bravos Boyz. They were more than accommodating. It was really wonderful to feel like we had such fast friends so far from home.

"Perfect for our family's vacation needs"
My husband and I, two daughters and their families (each daughter has a husband and three children) stayed at the Bravos Beach Cottages. It was my 60th birthday celebration -- oh dear! We each had our own "home" and then came together around the pool and the outdoor pavilion-like structure by the pool. This gave each of us the privacy we needed and the family time that we all so enjoyed. The 15 minute drive to one of the beautiful beaches on the Island was quite easy. The town of Isabelle Segunda started to feel like our town. We enjoyed getting to know the local people. My daughters and grandchildren are still all talking about this vacation and could not believe how much fun it was to spend such special time with their cousins. A terrific family vacation -- the best one any of us can remember. Given that I will only turn 60 once, this vacation was worth everything it took to get us all there!

"Efficient accomidations for a large party with most conviencenc"
We chose this place because it advertised internet availability, but it did not have it all week. The lower front unit , Kitchen Electrical swithches near front door did not all work leaving us in the dark -many nights cooking diner with a cook-top and oven that was useless, they worked half decent, yet did not heat up enough to even boil water. The outside grill was equally useless. could not cook on high.
We rented the entire compound and with the hefty price we paid we expected the pool to be cleaned more than once a week, and internet.
On the plus side we were very comfortable there, the place was convenient and nicely decorated.

Response from the manager, Bravos Boyz - 02/06/2012
We at Bravos Boyz like to take every opportunity to clarify things which might be misunderstood by future guests visiting our island and/or our properties. Sometimes, even our happy guests, post maintenance or housekeeping issues when invited to leave a review of their experience while staying at one of our properties. We appreciate any and all feedback and thank all of our reviewers for taking the time to let us know what we can do to make their future visits more enjoyable.
In this instance the reviewer did leave four stars and we sincerly hope they enjoyed their stay at the Bravos Beach Cottages.
We would like to add that the internet issue was an extraordinary event and was totally outside the control of Bravos Boyz and our resources. During this time frame the entire phone grid for the Bravos de Boston Neighborhood was taken out by an overhead line broken by a large truck and we were all without service for a number of weeks. It was a very difficult time for us and all of our guests. It has been restored and it is now business as usual.
As for the minor electrical issues they were responded to and fixed in a timely manner. We were not aware of any issues related to grill or cooktops but we often have problems here on the island with the propane grills and cooktops not getting hot enough because of being at sea level and the nature of breezes and open tropical living. This should not be confused with malfunctioning or inappropriate appliances, however.
We were not made aware of any issue with the pool. We at Bravos Boyz pride ourselves on the extraordinary level of maintenance that we provide for our property owners and our vacationing guests. We typically only service our pools once per week and don't recall this ever being an issue with any of our owners or guests. We will give this further consideration in the future.

"If you want a memorable vacation, this is it!"
We were a party of 15 - 18, occupying the entire compound for a week. The accommodations were clean, spacious and perfect in every way. All we had to do was un-pack our bags, stock the bar and refrigerator(s) and enjoy one another's company. The compound offers plenty of seating - everywhere - for a group to be together, and space for those desiring respite. The town of Isabel Segunda is typical of Vieques and offers conveniences such as grocery/pharmacy, restaurants and rental shops for snorkeling gear, etc. One would definitely want to rent a car/jeep to explore the island and to enjoy the many beautiful beaches.
Christina, at the main office, welcomed us with her warm personality and smile from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay whenever we stopped in the office for guidance. The Bravos Boys were professional and friendly as well.

Gandolfini: A big man and everyman is eulogized
HBO CEO Richard Plepler, center, and David Chase, center right, producer of "The Sopranos", walk out of Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine after funeral services for actor James Gandolfini, Thursday, June 27, 2013, in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — The funeral of James Gandolfini took place in one of the largest churches in the world and didn't stint on ceremony.
Still, the estimated 1,500 mourners who gathered Thursday in New York's Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine seemed part of an intimate affair. They came to pay their respects to a plain but complex man whose sudden death eight days before had left all of them feeling a loss.
During the service, Gandolfini was remembered by the creator of "The Sopranos" as an actor who had brought a key element to mob boss Tony Soprano: Tony's inner child-like quality.
For a man who, in so many ways, was an unrepentant brute, that underlying purity was what gave viewers permission to love him.
"You brought ALL of that to it," said David Chase in remarks he delivered as if an open letter to his fallen friend and "Sopranos" star.

Even though Gandolfini was indisputably a formidable man both on and off the screen, Chase also saw him as a boy — "sad, amazed, confused and loving," he summed up, addressing his subject: "You could see it in your eyes. And that's why you are a great actor."
Susan Aston, who for decades was Gandolfini's dialogue coach and collaborator, spoke of how he wrestled to find truth in his performances.
"He worked hard," she said. "He was disciplined. He studied his roles and did his homework." But then, when the cameras rolled, his performance took over and, "through an act of faith, he allowed himself to go to an uncharted place. ... He remained vulnerable, and kept his heart open in his life and in his work."
The 51-year-old actor died of a heart attack last week while vacationing with his 13-year-old son in Italy. It was cruel end to a holiday meant to be part of a summer that Gandolfini was devoting to his family — including his son and his 9-month-old daughter — by even turning down a movie role, according to Aston, citing what she said was her final conversation with him.

The Penguin has been "underserved," according to the game engine company, so it'll now join the list of supported operating systems alongside Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, Xbox, PS3 and Wii. Developers will also get the new Mecanim system for making character animation easier, on top of DirectX 11 for Windows and Flash publishing options. Details are in the video after the break, but it's good news considering how Linux's namesake just decried the lack of love for the platform.
