About the Eco-Healthy Child Care® Program
Eco-Healthy Child Care® (EHCC) supports child care providers in creating child care settings that are as environmentally healthy as possible. The program allows parents to choose child care facilities that are committed to creating a safer, healthier environment for children to learn and grow.
Child care centers and family home programs qualify as "Eco-Healthy" by completing a checklist that highlights 30 simple, free or low-cost steps that help you make safer choices for children. Eco-Healthy providers commit to reducing children's exposure to environmental health hazards.
As one endorsed provider states, "[The EHCC endorsement] is something that can make a big difference and is easily doable. The health and safety of children in my home is of utmost importance." Click HERE to read more provider comments on the value of EHCC endorsement.
The checklist is the core of EHCC. Download the EHCC English/Spanish checklist.
It's simple! Here's how it works:
The Eco-Healthy Child Care® program endorses providers who comply with at least 24 of 30 best practice techniques.
We offer child care providers training and marketing via our website, newsletters and other media outlets. We work hard to get providers the credit and support they deserve. Many of our materials can be downloaded for free. Our factsheets are also available in Spanish.

Wizards Prep for Brooklyn & BrazilPosted on October 07, 2013 by Jeremy Hyman
Wizards vs. Nets | Oct 8 | 7pm | Verizon Center | NBATV | 1500AM/106.7FM
The time has come. Basketball is coming back to Verizon Center! Sort of.
The Wizards will welcome the Brooklyn Nets to Verizon Center to kick off their preseason slate on Tuesday night at 7pm (TV: NBATV / Radio: 106.7 FM/1500 AM). While the game doesn't mean anything in the standings, it will be nice to see the team play against somebody other then themselves.
The Wiz have officially been practicing since last Saturday (Sep 28), but they held voluntary workouts throughout September and have been playing against each other for about five weeks now. Tuesday night will be the first chance this season where they get to test their talents against enemy colors and play in front of a crowd.
What should we expect?
We're not exactly sure how many minutes all of the regulars will see, but it should be enough for them to work up a sweat and start building chemistry with one another. It will be a good chance for head coach Randy Wittman to start playing with his lineups and figure out which combinations work best.
It's unclear who will get the start at center in place of the injured Emeka Okafor, but this game will give us our first glimpse of how the Wizards plan to adapt without their defensive anchor down low. We could see them start off playing Nene at the "5" and Jan Vesely at the "4", with a number of combinations to play off the bench. They've used that lineup in camp and it could be one they open the preseason with.
What is clear is that Otto Porter (hip) will be held out and it is unlikely that Trevor Booker (knee) will suit up for the opener. Booker has begun doing some non-contact drills and says he's getting closer to a full return, but Porter has been limited to just cardio work and has yet to get on the floor. They join Okafor (neck) and Chris Singleton (foot) on the Wizards injury list.
Since we are still in preseason, the Wizards have four extra players on the roster. Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Josh Childress, Xavier Silas, and D'or Fischer are all expected to be in uniform and could see action on the floor.
After the game, the Wizards will takeoff for Rio de Janeiro where they will play the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, October 12th at 5pm. There are plenty of activities and practices planned from Rio, so stay tuned to both WashingtonWizards.com & MonumentalNetwork.com for exclusive content from the trip.

To write an essay or research paper fast, you have to hit the ground running, not walking. You do not have time to sashay around tossing out one idea and then the other, nor do you have time for a lot of revision. These five tips will help you get into the essay, write it, and get it done.
Try to stay right within your sphere of knowledge for a quick-to-write essay. Why? Well, how can you write an essay fast, if you are going to spend all your time reading—a time consuming affair of its own. Not to mention sifting the web, which will waste precious hours before you know it. So pick a topic—pick something you could do a one page freewrite about easily—and not waver—stick to this and begin your work.
If this is a research paper, go ahead and go find the articles you need now. If you need four or five fine, go gather four or five good, quality essays. Print them.
If this is a longer research paper with a book—then choose a good, solid book on your topic and use Amazon's "search within this book to find quotes on certain areas in your essay. This is a handy feature to use for quick essay writing and the search will yield up the page number you will need to cite the information. Then you can just go back to the title search page and get all the book citation information you need on the search result page. Voila—it looks as if you have really really done your research.
Google books is another great source to use for book quotes, but it is much less dependable. They only have some books and the only books they will have fully scanned copies of are older books, where there has been time for the book to gain enough attention and acclaim for someone to want to scan it for the free availability to others.
You cannot cut and paste from either source, however. .Sometimes, you can get lucky with Kindle—via drag and drop—but you will have to do a lot of after editing.
The structure for any essay or research paper never varies. What you basically want is an introduction which leads into a solid thesis statement at the end of the introduction proper, evidence paragraphs which make up all of the essay except for the conclusion, and a really good conclusion paragraph. That is it and that is all. .
The only addition to this structure comes to some additives to a chiefly argumentative essay or research paper – with these, you will have to include some type of acknowledgement of the other side's major objection to your argument and a solid refutation of their objection. This is often called "overcoming the opposition" and is very necessary to any kind of strongly argumentative, take a stand, or call to action type of writing exercise. For longer essays these can total a paragraph in length.

While the majority of basketball fans have already given up on the possibility of the Eastern Conference producing the eventual NBA Champion this season, I still believe the Detroit Pistons have as good of a chance as any team in the NBA to win. Before you leave some nasty comments below this article or flood my inbox with vicious emails hear me out.
While the overall talent in the West is far superior to that of the East, this talent differential will more than likely help the Pistons if they can make it to the NBA Finals. Due to Western Conference teams likely battling into six or seven games in each series it's not a stretch by any means to think a team like San Antonio or Phoenix will need to play close to 20 games before they even reach the Finals. Detroit, on the other hand will likely sweep their first round opponent and in the second round it's conceivable they could oust a team like Toronto, Orlando or even Cleveland in five or six games. If things play out like that, it's likely they won't have to enter into a six or seven game battle until they meet Boston in the Conference Finals (that is if the Celtics even make it that far). While playing three or four less games in the playoffs might not seem like large advantage, that means aging vets on Detroit can play 100-120 minutes less and endure less travelling by the time they get to the Finals.
Also adding to the fatigue of Western Conference teams is the fact they need to play all 82 games without the benefit of resting injured or older players. Detroit, on the other hand, will be able to rest most of their starters and give them reduced minutes for the last 10-15 games of the season as they will have a top two seed in the East locked up by the end of March. The competition in the West is so intense that Kobe Bryant elected not to have surgery on his finger which would have sidelined him for six weeks because he was worried it would cost the Lakers too many games and any chance at securing home court advantage in the playoffs. What Bryant didn't tell the media, but something he was sure to be thinking, is that if he were to miss that amount of time the Lakers could be at risk for failing to miss the playoffs. The depth of the Western Conference is sure to be something that hinders rather than helps teams come playoff time.
You also can't overlook the experience on the Pistons roster. While skimming through their roster I was amazed that, combined, the team possesses 657 games of playoff experience. Not all of those are scrub minutes either, as 436 of those games came when players started games for their respective tams. While that number is impressive, what's even more impressive is that four players from their core – Chauncy Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, and Rasheed Wallace – all were starters when the Pistons won their last Championship in 2004 year. That core played in the NBA Finals in 2005 and has helped guide the Pistons to at least 50 wins over the past five seasons. While there are some young players such as Aaron Afflalo, Walter Herrman, Amir Johnson, Cheick Samb and Rodney Stuckey who have yet to play any minutes in the playoffs, only Stuckey appears to be in the running for minutes in the playoffs due to the team's depth and the other veterans on the roster.
Don't get it twisted, I still believe that the eventual NBA Champion will reside in the Western Conference, but I also feel that the NBA Finals will provide for some thrilling games, and that the Pistons have a chance to win their second championship in the past five years. I just felt the need to remind basketball fans that it's not a lock that the eventual champions will reside in the Western Conference.

(also being celebrated as International Day of Peace)
Submitted by Sandy Dinwiddie
An hour east of Wichita, Kansas lies the scenic terrain of rolling hills covered in swaying prairie grass called the Flint Hills. Nestled in a peaceful valley you'll find "Walk in Peace Ranch". It's owner and visionary is Lonetta Lollar, a beautiful sprite of a spirit. She has reserved 38 acres of the 200 acre ranch for the Peace Garden which is located atop two hills across the road from the lodge. Lonetta began creating this Peace Garden a little over a year ago which included an amazing Labyrinth, the Starhenge, and The Spirit Stones. Nestled between the Spirit Stones and the Starhenge was an open piece of land that Lonetta thought would remain open. Last November she met Marshall "Golden Eagle" Jack and learned about Water Wheels and the ceremonies involved with honoring our water sources locally and globally. I met Lonetta at the same event and we remained in contact. When she learned that I had started to work with the waters and had created a Water Wheel in my backyard, she asked me if I would come to Walk in Peace Ranch and perform the ceremony so that we would create another Water Wheel for the planet.
Water Wheel located next to the Spirit Stones Circle
Seven women came together on this bright, hot, cloudless day that radiated energy. I gathered the women inside the cool lodge, before going up to the hill, so that I could tell them why we were doing this ceremony. I shared the stories that Marshall tells of how the elders of his Paiute tribe would be gone for weeks in the spring. When he asked his grandmother where they had gone she told him that they were in the mountains performing ceremony for the waters to keep them healthy and remembering their crystalline form through prayers, offerings, crystals, and speaking with all of nature. The generation before Marshall lost their connections to their culture and healing ways so the ceremonies stopped when the old ones could no longer make the walk into the mountains. The people started to see disease in the pine trees for the first time. They also saw boils on the rabbits and deer. No one was continuing the ceremonies to honor and give gratitude to the water and all that found life through this source were getting sick. Some years ago, Marshall accepted the challenge to restart ceremonies from his visions of what was needed at this time. Through these Water Wheels and through working with the local water sources and their tributaries he has traveled greatly performing ceremonies and teaching others along the way how to bring the honoring and healing of our local and global waters back. As we do this, we are taking up the journey of reconnecting ourselves with the Blood of Mother Earth, our most valuable element on the planet.
We were blessed to have Sharon, a native, Alaskan Aleut, drum maker and performer with us that weekend. She graciously agreed to drum on Lonetta's council drum throughout the ceremony. I had explained to the women how important it was to connect with Spirit, the wheel, the water, and with each other through our heart's coherence. We would be dancing in opposite directions for twelve cycles until the energy was sufficient to create the vortex necessary to bring down the energy from the galactic realms and anchor it into the center of the wheel in the crystal altar. If I felt that the energy was waning I would ask them to pick it up.
The women were terrific and did their best with joy in their hearts. But a time came when I sensed the waning energy and I pointed this out to everyone and asked that they "kick it up". Sharon instantaneously changed the beating of the drum as she applied both of the drum sticks with such energy and love. Everyone immediately was re-energized and the dancing took on new vigor and passion. It was palpable. As we continued to dance and sing and pray, I quietly asked Spirit to give me a sign and let me know when we had accomplished our goal and it would be okay to stop. After a few minutes, I saw a white butterfly fly from west to east, followed quickly by a yellow butterfly along the same path. In only moments, a grasshopper jumped into the center of the circle, then a dragonfly flew by, next a silver looking object, that I can't identify, drifted overhead the span of the Water Wheel and the Spirit Stones from south to north. Beyond the Spirit Stone Circle were 4 buzzards circling over the distant fields. As I watched them they kept approaching until they were circling overhead. Lastly, a small, single, engine plane flew extremely low toward us from south to north. As it got closer we waved and the pilot dipped his wings in response, came around and circled overhead before flying away. I thanked Spirit for the signs and for the energy that was sent for the ceremony and told them, "got it!"

There have been bloodier massacres in the recent past, and bigger urban conflagrations, but perhaps no event in living memory has more dreadfully exposed the oldest, deepest rift in America than did the May 1985 police assault on the self-described revolutionary group known as MOVE. By bombing the row house that MOVE occupied and allowing the resulting blaze to burn out of control, Philadelphia's predominantly white civic authorities killed eleven people, five of them children, and reduced much of a black working-class neighborhood to ruins. The outcome was a catastrophe. The tragedy, though, was the stand-off, which had been building for a decade—or so Jason Osder suggests in his quietly terrifying documentary Let the Fire Burn.
In reconstructing this escalating conflict, Osder has limited himself strictly to the use of period footage, including newscasts, MOVE propaganda films, police stakeout videos and recordings of the official commission of inquiry. His assemblage of these found materials, made with editor Nels Bangerter, begins as if it will be an exposé but soon turns into something more dangerous: a Frankenstein's monster of documentary filmmaking, patched together from unearthed bits and pieces that fill you with cold horror at their touch.
Here you feel none of the ironic distance that ordinarily opens up in a compilation documentary. Sometimes, as you look at the images from another era, such a film will encourage you to jeer at the clumsiness of the antiquities on display; sometimes, as in The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu, you're invited to dwell with bitter laughter on the reality that was concealed beneath the manufactured lies. Or sometimes the mere existence of the footage may figure as a noteworthy curiosity, as it does in Penny Lane's current release Our Nixon, which draws many of its images from the Super-8 movies that H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Dwight Chapin made during their years in the White House. (The irony turns dramatic: mere hobbyism stumbles into an encounter with obsessive, covert record-keeping.) Even in films that try to close the gap by adding present-day commentaries to the soundtrack, as do Göran Olsson's The Black Power Mixtape 1967–1975 and Eliav Lilti's Israel: A Home Movie, the things you see remain stubbornly bygone.
In Let the Fire Burn, however, the people, places and things on-screen seem uncommonly immediate. The few terse, matter-of-fact titles that Osder occasionally superimposes do nothing to distance the images, which come before you with the air of something irreducible, as if they were not representations of the past but solid pieces of it. A classic faith in the reality of the image is at play here—a recognition, which André Bazin articulated more than half a century ago, that film stock bears the photon trace of whatever was in front of the camera, and so puts us in remote but physical contact with the subject. In the years since Bazin wrote, many people have criticized this notion as naïve; but if so, naïveté can have a power beyond sophistication, as Let the Fire Burn suggests.
Osder bets heavily on ingenuousness by framing his narrative with the videotaped deposition of Michael Moses Ward, the child known in the MOVE house as Birdie Africa, who was one of the two survivors of the assault. Although Ward was 13 at the time, he seems more like a shy 6-year-old in the deposition, answering the gently coaxing interrogator so guilelessly that you adopt his viewpoint as the simple truth. This makes a stark contrast with the "absolute truth" of which two adult MOVE members, LaVerne Sims and Louise James, speak in their scornful, combative, devastated testimony at the commission of inquiry. They continue to believe fiercely in the late founder of MOVE, John Africa, who "exposed the lie in the system." When the commission's lead counsel asks James to identify that lie, she replies, bluntly, "You."

Is Boulder trying to, um, rip off Xcel customers elsewhere in the state in its drive to create a municipal utility? Could be.
Why else would the city maintain that if the breakup occurs, it will owe little or no "stranded costs" to Xcel for investments the company made over the years in the expectation that Boulder would remain part of its service area? Why else would it downplay compensation for such assets as SmartGridCity and solar infrastructure?
The notion that the city may have to purchase nothing much more than the local electric distribution system should be insulting to customers outside of Boulder who will lose out if the city prevails.
Yet in terms of stranded costs, as the Daily Camera explains, Boulder "believes the city would not owe the company anything because the city does not have a franchise agreement with Xcel and because the city has publicly explored becoming a municipal utility since the early 2000s."
This is a peculiar line of reasoning. Even if Xcel had known years ago that Boulder would eventually declare independence, it still had a legal obligation to supply Boulder residents with power and to treat them like everyone else.
Imagine the furor if Xcel had tried, say, to deny Boulder access to solar energy rebates on the theory the city would create its own utility someday and resist making the utility whole at that time. The Public Utilities Commission would have slapped down such a cockamamie claim in an instant.
And yet Xcel estimates those solar rebates alone have been worth nearly $40 million to Boulder residents — who have tapped into the solar program at a far higher rate than the rest of the company's customers.
Are non-Boulder ratepayers supposed to graciously offer this investment to the city as a parting gift?
To be sure, in Boulder's "revised, version 2.0" community guide explaining two measures that will be on this fall's ballot asking voters to authorize the creation of a municipal utility and raising a tax to pay for start-up costs, the city doesn't quite dismiss the idea of additional expenses.
At one point, for example, it claims "there is a legal question about whether Xcel Energy is entitled to stranded costs at all," and that Xcel's estimates are "too speculative for inclusion in the cost model at this time." But then — ominously for Boulder customers — the city goes on to admit that it would have trouble achieving "rate parity" with Xcel if it underestimated its acquisition costs by $72.4 million (at 8 percent interest).
Now, $72 million might seem like a safe cushion — until you consider, just for starters, that Xcel invested $45 million in SmartGridCity alone. Robert Bellemare of UtiliPoint International, who was hired by Xcel to look at Boulder's plans, believes the city lowballed acquisition costs in a variety of areas by hundreds of millions of dollars.
"They're going to have to win on almost all of the contested points" to keep rates where they are now, Bellemare told me Tuesday.
If they do prevail, customers elsewhere lose. And if they don't, Boulder residents — as well as the commercial and industrial customers responsible for the lion's share of electricity consumption — will in turn be at risk of higher rates. Indeed, by the city's own estimate, if the distribution system, smart grid and stranded costs equal $351 million (still far below Bellemare's estimates), residential customers would end up with bills 19 percent higher.
To be sure, advocates for a municipal utility are hardly without serious arguments of their own. One of my favorites appeared in an op-ed by former city councilman Steve Pomerance. "Xcel is regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, a group of three unelected officials, in a process that is almost impenetrable for any normal person . . . ," he pointed out. "With a municipal utility, at least decisions are made by elected officials that you can talk to, or vote out of office."
Still, the bottom line for most customers remains, yes, the bottom line. And on that score, it's not remotely clear that Boulder customers will flourish.

A demure hard box bag made with smooth crocodile embossed leather, beige lambskin detailing, topped with Alexandra de Curtis' chic signature clasp. - Top clasp closure - Lambskin lining - 15cm x 9cm x 4cm - Made in Italy For Spring/Summer 2012, Alexandra drew her inspiration from the Oscar-award winning movie "Black Swan" by Darren Aronofsky. Soft lambskin bandages bring to mind the ribbons on ballet slippers, while soft rose, lilac and ivory colours accentuate the lightness of movement. This collection is based on the creative concept of 'simple serenity': a blend of modernity and romance, achieved by mixing the linear with the loose; clean lines, ethereal shapes and no ruffles in sight. A soft design approach and some playful experimentation with materials and textures give life to her softest and most feminine collection to date.

The Legacy of Norman Rockwell
Many artists, particularly painters, have made a name for themselves for their artistic ingenuity. They've painted and brought new meaning to an object or a scene or an event. However there are seldom artists who make use of their craft in addressing day to day issues, such as poverty, love, freedom, communication, bravery, work and everyday mundane activity of human life. Norman Rockwell is one of those few. Norman Rockwell has made a great impact not only in terms of his art, but also in terms of his social contribution. To give you a glimpse of who Norman Rockwell was and what he's done that has made an indelible mark in history is to bring you back to the city of New York where he was born on February 1894. This is where he cultivated his gift under the tutelage of instructors from Chase Art School, the Academy of Design and finally the Art Students League. His artistic style was influenced by his instructors Thomas Fogarty, George Bridgman, and Frank Vincent Dumond. Norman's first major breakthrough came in 1912 at age eighteen with his first book illustration for Carl H. Claudy's Tell Me Why: Stories about Mother Nature. This catapulted...
Gustav Klimt brought to life
I ran across these recreations of Gustav Klimt's work on the Behance network and simply had to share them with you. This collection of beautiful and artistic photos is called "La Esencia de Klimt" which translates to "Klimt's Essence". As a long time admirer of the Austrian Art Nouveau painter, these fashionable, real-life recreations of his works captured my immediate attention. A group of talented folks have combined their photography, digital art, illustration, make-up, hair and styling (all found through Kattaca) to recreate some of Gustav's most famous paintings. I've added Klimt's original paintings for contrast:

All Children Are Born Artists
The month of March is Youth Art Month - an annual observance to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs. one might ask, what is so important about art that we need an annual event to observe it? If we sit and observe whenever little kids draw, finger paint or play, it's intriguing how they seem without self-doubt, judgment or fear of doing it wrong. A preconceived expectation of the end product doesn't seem to play a role in what they are engaged in and in that moment they simply get lost in the doing of it. It's as if they approach their art, free of inhibitions and with an openness to take risks, experiment and most importantly have fun. It's as if being fully present in the moment and entering that space of spontaneity, comes so easily. I recently spoke to someone who runs a local community art school. She shared with me that they had noticed a decreased attendance in their children's art classes. When I asked why, she speculated that it was the result of kids being less and less encouraged to do art for...
Top 10 Masterpieces in the Media
overstockArt.com, released today a list of the top 10 oil paintings featured in the media in the last decade. Topping the list is Leonardo Da Vinci's internationally revered Mona Lisa. Oil paintings by master artists Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, and Johannes Vermeer also made the list. The list was composed according to appearances of the art in newsstands, television shows and motion pictures. The data was gathered using media aggregators and public Google trends statistics. "Oil paintings were featured across all media platforms throughout the last decade - the most memorable being Da Vinci's Mona Lisa," said David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com. "Da Vinci's iconic masterpiece was at the heart of 'The Da Vinci Code' craze and we might see a revival of that as the next Dan Brown thriller comes out in the coming decade." The oil paintings that received the most media attention in the last decade are: The Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci – featured in the #1 best selling book of the decade and the 2006 blockbuster movie "The Da Vinci Code," starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, Gustav Klimt - according to...

Back in November, on the heels of the landslide defeat of Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) by Democratic challenger Bob Casey, Jr., I wrote an article recalling the first time I met Santorum. I intended the piece to be a personal recollection, with some analysis of polling data, and concluding with the point that Santorum—despite the crushing margin—should never be underestimated. This is a man capable of surprising victories.
The article was carried by several local and national sources, including the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I didn't expect much feedback, figuring I hadn't said anything notably controversial. Boy, was I wrong.
My email box was flooded with the angriest collection of emails I've ever received from any article. Some of the emails were thoughtful, including a dialogue that followed with a Pitt professor. Most, however, were filled with animosity toward Santorum and at me for not appreciating the vituperation against the man. Yes, the emailers were mostly Democrats, but there was a strong contingent of disaffected Republicans.
By the time I got to roughly the 30th email, a Pittsburgher who lectured me, "You don't understand how much people hate this guy," I realized I had misread the electorate. So, I began surveying the emailers: What was it about Santorum that triggered such visceral rejection?
I found that some of the opposition was policy related—his conservatism, his unflagging position as the leading voice for life and against abortion in the Senate, his closeness to President Bush's policies, especially concerning Iraq. Yet, most of the opposition was personal; these people simply didn't like the guy. The central reason was Santorum's alleged "hypocrisy": whether this involved how he schooled his children or that he moved his family from Mt. Lebanon to Washington, which had once been a campaign issue he used to win a congressional seat (and which I had thought he explained adequately). More, the Casey campaign ad that excoriated Santorum for daring to argue that not all moms necessarily needed to go to work, was enormously damaging. "He doesn't like working moms!" shouted one emailer.
Even now, the dislike appears to not be going away, much like the double-digit deficit Santorum was never able to dent against Casey.
Indeed, a friend last week handed me an op-ed by Reg Henry, a columnist syndicated by Scripps Howard News Service, titled, "Santorum goes into the tank." Here was another reaction to Santorum that stunned me—placed, ironically, under a cartoon of Richard Nixon, a man who once said, "Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself."

Is it possible to create a theme with frameset?
I have to embed a mp3 player and the only way to not stop the song is creating a frameset.
I tried to create a index.html with the frame code in the root of WP, but it calls itself recursively forever.
To make it works I have to rename the index.html to page.html for example, but when I go to the root URL it doesn't load.

Stayed here on a business trip. The hotel was chosen for me, but I was very very very happy with it upon arrival. The hotel was VERY nice, well kept, and had a great location.

Big conference hotel, conveniently located next to Alameda, Bellas Artes, metro and metrobus. Of course it is rather price so you will see mostly business visitors. Numerous conference rooms allow even big gigs. Service is very good, helpful and friendly, good concierge standard. Nothing too boutique, it is a chain hotel after all, but they try to make your stay pleasant (also thanks to the impressive waiting lobby and Internet points there - which could handle https but otherwise they are just great for Mexico). Restaurants and lobby bar foot the bill. read hotel review

Hello there - sorry for the long absence, but we're back and hopefully I'll keep this going again.
So there was a recent forum post about how property values that are specified from the command line are immutable - i.e. it is not straightforward to change them from within the project file. Well, this is mostly true, but there are exceptions.
Let's take an example:
If I've got a property in my project file defined like this,
Now, let's say that you have this defined in your project file:
<AppPath Condition=" '$(AppPath)' == '' ">bin\debug\</AppPath>
<AppPath Condition=" !HasTrailingSlash('$(AppPath)') ">$(AppPath)\</AppPath>
What I am doing here is that I am defining a default value for AppPath property if AppPath is not defined. Additionally, I want to set it up so that if someone has specified an AppPath property, then if it does not already have a trailing slash, I'd like to add it. Looks reasonable, correct?
Actually this will not work as you expect - and is something to watch out for. What happens when you specify something with a /p:AppPath=blah\ is that all in-project property definitions for AppPath are ignored (or essentially overridden), and so none of the in-project property definitions take effect - even the ones with the condition. This makes sense if you think about it because otherwise what exactly are we supposed to override? Would that be the first definition of the property? Or should we override only those values of the property that are checking against an empty value? There isn't a clear answer. We override all property definitions and what is passed in is the effective value.
Fortunately, there is a way around this if it causes you grief - but it isn't declarative like PropertyGroup. You have to use the CreateProperty task inside a target where you intend to process the property, like so:
<CreateProperty Value="$(AppPath)\" Condition=" !HasTrailingSlash('$(AppPath)') ">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="AppPath" />
Alternatively (and perhaps as a better approach), you can use a property name like AppPath as the public property you expect to override from th command line, but filter it out into a different property inside your targets that you then use for doing the actual work - like this:
<_validatedAppPath Condition=" '$(_validatedAppPath)' == '' ">bin\debug\</_validatedAppPath>
<_validatedAppPath Condition=" !HasTrailingSlash('$(_validatedAppPath)') ">$(_validatedAppPath)\</_validatedAppPath>
In this case, you validate the /p value and store it in an internal property that is validated, and never directly overridden from the command line.
Hope this helps, and clears some confusion on "strange behavior" if you ever encountered it.

Best Market Stand (2012)
Flying Fox
Maggie Nesciur connects us to wild fruit trees and bushes outside of the city, picking perfectly ripe fruits and carefully transporting them to the New Amsterdam Market, where she has a weekly stall. We've waited for up to 15 minutes for a pint of black raspberries, ripe cherries, or sultry plums, but we've never regretted it. The fruit from Flying Fox is simply better than anyone else's.

You never know what surprises each day will bring to you. Two days ago I didn't know today was the day when we were finally sharing with the world our new learning tool for Office developers: The Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map.
It all started with a nice drawing in a blackboard. Next it became a poster. Then we thought it was a great idea to build an online version of the poster and find the best available online resource for every single namespace, object, Web service, and feature related to a Office product or technology. Today, after lots of months of work we have a cool Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application built using Microsoft Expression. We host the map in MSDN Labs and it is available as a free download.
The Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map helps developers visualize the different programs, servers, services, and tools that will help you build solutions. It allows you to drill down to each product and technology and learn about new features, objects, Web services, namespaces, and schemas required to extend Microsoft Office and build custom Office Business Applications (OBAs). This map provides links to MSDN portal pages, technical articles, and key pointers to SDK and reference documentation topics.
When you download the map you can see an overview of the Office developer roadmap. You can click a product or technology to drill down and find resources related to the product you selected:
Each time you drill down to a product or technology you will find links to:
Some regions of the map don't have a resource page. For example, all the platform boxes at the bottom and some technologies under the Tools region. However, if you click a platform box, the maps opens a new browser window that displays the best available MS site. For example, if you click IIS, we take you to http://www.iis.net.
The map is a living document that provides links to MSDN Library reference documentation, MSDN portal pages, and RSS feeds that describe how developers can use the 2007 Microsoft Office system and associated tools and technologies to develop solutions that meet their needs.
It stores all links in an XML file that we will update when we publish new content or find better online resources. Once you install it, the map pulls the latest version of the resource file. You can find the map at Start Menu > 2007 Office System Developer Resources > Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map. Then, each time you launch the application, it looks for updates pulls them from the server when available. No need to reinstall because you are using ClickOnce technology. This application is like a news reader that you can open every now and then to find out what's happening out there.
We think this is a great way to help developers understand the Office development roadmap and learn how Office products and technologies relate to each other. This is a new type of learning tool that can help you find the best available content and save you time doing research.
The goals of the Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map are to help developers to:
So many people that if I start listing them I would never finish and will probably forget to name someone. Rob Barker and I helped drive this for months, but truth is it was real teamwork done by the Office Developer Documentation Group, the Office Business Application team, the MSDN Labs team, the Office + SharePoint + VSTO product teams, the Office Developer Platform Evangelism team, and Lux Worldwide. This baby has lots of moms and dads.
You can find download links, instructions, contact information, and everything there is to know about the map here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb497969.aspx
We all hope you have fun playing with the map, that you learn a lot more about Office development, and that soon it becomes a new item in your list of favorite online toys.
We'd love to hear what you think.

Erika - I really like this tool. The whole 2007 Office Development story can be very overwhelming to most folks, so this is a great way to navigate thru it. I even showed this off at the Lotus Developer 2007 conference in Boston last week in my Advanced Office and Lotus Notes/Domino Integration session! :)
Ok .. I know the title doesn't make any sense! but this post does. My old blog-followers will remember
Any download for the actual Visual Studio project for this map?

Baseball's only a game to real-life survivors Lester, Cook
Originally Published: October 27, 2007By Gene Wojciechowski | ESPN.com
DENVER -- Jon Lester had cancer. Lymphoma, to be exact, but cancer. Whatever the exact name, you don't want it.The same goes for blood clots. Aaron Cook can tell you all about them. He had them in his lungs. Sunday evening, in Game 4 of the World Series, a cancer survivor and a blood clot survivor will take turns on the Coors Field mound. Lester can give the Boston Red Sox their second world championship (and second sweep) in the past four years. Cook can keep the ...

text: Less is more. That's the theory of a new company that's building and operating fully-integrated hospitals across Asia. Forget gourmet cafeterias, marble hallways and lavish lobbies. The company uses a no-frills business model, meaning small hospitals and no heart surgery facilities. But it takes advantage of fully-integrated electronic health records and IT systems that are built in-house. That means big savings on software and licensing, allowing the hospitals to focus on efficiency.

Long story short my DS, Isaiah, papaw passed away very suddenly. He was no blood relation to any of us. But a very dear family friend before my grandparents even had any kids. I grew up calling himĀPapaw Charlie and he was the only grandpa my kiddos had on my side of the family since my grandpa passed before they were born.
Charlie and Isaiah were inseperable and they spent 3-4 days together every week playing ball, walking around the lake, playing trains...my little boy idolized him.
I spoke to Isaiah about Charlie's passing and evening though he is sad and misses him he seems to be handleing it farily well. I explained to him that Charlie's heart hurt him and he couldn't be on earth with us anymore andĀwent to heaven to be with Papaw Burt (my grandpa that we speak of on a regular basis) and with God. That seemed to satisfy all his questions.
The question I have is what would the appropriate thing to do as far as the viewing and funeral. My first instinct is not to take him. I don't want to confuse him as to why I said he's in heaven and he's really *asleep* in a bed (from his point of view)....but I am getting a lot of mixed reactions from both my family and Charlie's family on not bringing him...what's the proper thing to do here...I just don't want to stress my little man out or cause him any further pain but I also don't want to not give him the oppertunity to say goodbye and grieve...

Part of getting settled into our new home has been sewing a seemingly endless parade of pillows. I've been keeping them pretty simple since a) I needed to make a ton of them and b) I can still go back and add fancy pillows later. However, I couldn't quite content myself with just sewing squares, so my pillows all have piping around the edge and an invisible zipper so that the covers can easily be removed for washing. Since I instagrammed a finished pillow, folks asked how I sewed the piping, so here's the answer! Start by cutting squares of fabric for your pillows. I'm using a luscious cotton I bought in Thailand, but it's a pretty loose weave so I serged the edges. If your fabric doesn't ravel much, finishing the edges isn't necessary since they will be well hidden inside the pillow. Tip: cut the fabric 1-2″ smaller than …
New Art from Jeremy Novy and Mark Lifvendahl
Before Adam and I moved in together, I lived in a studio apartment above the Orbit Room, and beautiful stenciled koi were painted all over the sidewalk below my window. In fact, these beautiful painted fish are on sidewalks all over San Francisco and their simple and elegant images, to me, will always be a striking reminder of my time in this vibrant city. Imagine my surprise when walking through the cute town of Guernville, CA (where I first wore and photographed my new paisley Anna dress) when I saw a series of the koi stenciled on the sidewalks. I didn't know much about Guernville or the elusive koi artist at the time, but have since learned that it's not as incongruous as my initial thoughts. Guernville is actually something of a vacation mecca for queer Bay Area folks and Jeremy Novy is himself an openly queer artist (with a mission …
Thrift Store Score
I had to share this sweet thrift store score that my stepmom just made. She picked up these needlepoint ballet dancers initially thinking she would just use the frames. However, by the time she finished painting the bathroom, they had grown on her to the point that she decided to hang them on the wall. It turns out that they are the perfect colors for the new bathroom!
Cranberries and Coffee Beans
I like to change little bits of our decorating to reflect the season. This year I put together a simple centerpiece for our dining table with lots of differently sized candles. I filled a large vase with cranberries and floated them with water.
Sweaters Blanket Tutorial
This is one of my favorite projects. I have one of these blankets in my living room, my mom has one in her television room, and I gave one to my cousin for her wedding this summer. It's certainly a bit more involved than the last several days of tutorial projects that I have shared, but it makes for such a lovely finished project and is so easy to customize for anyone on your gift list (or yourself!).
There's a T-Rex in My Living Room, or How to Paint a Plastic Toy Tutorial
This is a tutorial for painting a plastic dinosaur to make it an item of decor. While this is a tutorial for painting a dinosaur, I suppose that you could use it to paint other plastic toys. It doesn't have to be used on dinosaurs. Additionally, it doesn't have to be white. If you think another solid color would go better with your décor, go for it! This is a great gift for anyone who likes kitsch and a perfect decorating compromise for me and Adam – subtle and classic yet kitschy at the same time!
Handmade Souvenirs from Baja
When we travel, I like to come home with a souvenir or two that was handmade in the place we just visited. I brought home three things from our trip to Baja last week.
Mom Made Household Dec
Welcome to my mom's house! This is just a tiny glimpse of some of the lovely handmade touches she has added to her house to make it a home. Here is a shelf in her TV room. The folded quilt is all made of fall fabrics and is displayed seasonally. The red white and blue quilt and begonia applique (design by Primitive Gatherings by Lisa Bongean), while designed to be overtly Fourth of July, become more subtle and year-round when part of a broader decorating scheme that includes other colors (yellow) and lots of pattern.
My Hexagon Quilt is Finished!
I'm so excited to be able to say that I've finished my hexagon quilt! The first step was piecing the top. Then I sent it to my mom to quilt it. Then I had to sew all the binding along the edges. Mr. T decided to "help", which made the process cuddlier, but not any faster. It took several movies worth (how I measure units of time for hand-sewing) to make my way all along the edge to hand sew the binding down. It was helped by being sick a while ago which left me bored, stuck on the couch, and needed something mindless to do with my hands. Here you see the backing fabric and an external point. I'm proud of these as they (almost) all came out sharp and looking quite good, if I do say so myself. The pattern included instructions on how to turn the corners …
DIY Mini Bulletin Board Tutorial
This is a quick and easy tutorial for DIY mini bulletin board. It uses a square of styrofoam, a hot glue gun, fabric shears, and some fabric. I found my styrofoam lining the inside of a box as packing material. It's 3/4″ thick and roughly 10″x10″, but thickness and dimensions don't really matter here. For fabric, I used the legs from an old pair of jeans, cut open. You can use just about any fabric, thick or thin, just make sure that a pin will go through it easily. It doesn't matter how wide around your styrofoam you cut your piece of fabric, just make sure that it will fold up and over the side and reach the back of the styrofoam piece. Once you have the fabric glued on, flip it over and nail it into the wall. You can hammer straight through the front of the board as …
