Lovely photography, really colourful and stylish. Lots of items on my wishlist now!
My Xmas wish list is growing too, Becky:-))
The styling and the products themselves are spectacular. Can' have enough of those vases. And it's nice that Bloomingville is getting so much of love in blogland – had just finished reading Holly's post on the same on decor8 and hopped to yours to see you write about the same store. Nice:)
Do you think Nordic design is different from the rest of Europe?
I do think so! Nordic design has a certain spin of vintage, industrial and midern elements that makes it stand out somehow.
Lieber Igor,
komme gerade aus Kopenhagen zurück und freue mich, Dich Dir Tipps zu nennen, wenn Du nach Kopenhagen fährst.
Alles Liebe
Darauf komme ich gerne wieder zurück, Amalie!
I think I'm liking that first cactus pot and the bowls that are stacked by the mayo.
i love bloomingville, if I ever started up a shop it would be filled with things like this, and I would probably buy everything in it myself,

Hi! I'm new on this board but not new to BBC. I recognize a lot of you from the Catholic board. ::waves::
My oldest dd is 5 and I have another dd who will be 3 in July, and a ds who is just turning 6 months. We have been doing relaxed homeschooling for the last year or two. My 5yo is pretty advanced in language and also bit advanced in math, so I am considering her to be 1st grade next year even though she won't be 6 until January.
I am trying to figure out curriculum for her next year. I was just starting to consider Five in a Row. I was wondering what people think of it and if anyone has a favorite volume. I only want to purchase one volume at first to see how we like it.

In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, Gwyneth Paltrow talks about how people are mean to her because of her (out of touch with reality) blog, GOOP. The only thing worse than a "sincere" Fishsticks (as someone so aptly named her once) is a "sincere" Fishsticks whining about being Fishsticks.
"Any time you do anything with any degree of sincerity, people make fun of you. That's totally fine. I don't care. I don't read any of it. My thing with Goop has always been, if you don't like it, then don't log onto it. There were a couple of times when I thought 'I'm just gonna stop doing it. People are so mean to me. I don't want to do it.' But then I was like, 'Who cares what some lame person out there says?' I was in Italy once, and this old man came up to me and said, 'I had the best time in Nashville because of Goop.' And that is so worth it to me."
Celebrities get made fun of Fishy. Which is a true fact of this terrible, blog-ridden, cynicism-dominated current world of ours. (One that I'm well aware of my somewhat heightened place in, so this is me acknowledging that I, the pot, am also black.) People do tend to mock sincerity because it is such an easy target. But I think in the case of Ms. Paltrow and Goop, it's not really any sense of sincerity that people are teasing. Rather it's a wildly out-of-touch perspective couched in a faux-Everymom tone. As an example she suggested to people an $80 leather flyswatter as a Christmas gift, and then she expects people not to make fun of her? AN EIGHTY DOLLAR FLY SWATTER, GWYNNIE.
I can just picture what an average night in Gwyneth's 117 bedroom castle must be like:
"Nobody understands me!" Gwyneth sobbed, dabbing her perfectly-lined eyes with a silk handkerchief embroidered with thread spun from gold. "I'm normal! Just like everyone else!"
Sighing, she shut her diamond-encrusted Apple MacBook Air ™ that Steve Jobs had sent her as an early birthday present last fall and rang for Edwin, her butler.
"Edwin, I'm a normal woman, aren't I?" she squeaked, holding back tears.
"Madam musn't cry, lest she stain her new angora sweater with mascara tears!"
Producing a tissue from his pocket, he wiped her eyes tenderly.
"Madam, the children are ready for their lunch. Shall it be steamed lentils again?"
"No, no. Something different, I think." She paused, thinking.
"Would it be too much trouble to ring up the butcher for some veal? I know how much the children love their fine meats."
Dear Ms. Paltrow: I pre-emptively pledge, here and now, to never make fun of you or your unborn children, Apricot, Plum, and Kumquat, ever again. Although I can´t speak for the evil spirit who lives in my head.

Risks are great with airport projectTo the editor:On Jan. 20, there was a terrible and tragic accident when two general aviation airplanes collided in the skies over Corona, Calif., in which five people were killed including an innocent bystander on the ground. I lived in Norco, Calif., between 1998 and 2000, my home was within four miles of the airport in Corona and my office was less than a mile from it.

Why Do We Cut Our Hair During Life Transitions? [2]
About two weeks after a breakup, a co-worker friend walked up to me and said "Reagan, I've been thinking a lot about you, and I just wanted to tell you not to cut your hair. You're going to want to cut it. Don't cut it." I sat there in silence and then nodded as she ran off to a client. I kind of laughed about the exchange with a few friends, until the day it all made sense....when the initial shock and sadness of my breakup faded, I found myself desperate for change. I wanted to dye my hair really dark! No, really really blonde! No, I wanted to cut it! All off! I wanted to cut it all off.
I tell you, I was this close. Even to pixie length. The first thing that held me back was the warning from my friend at work. It had me thinking things through a little more sensibly, I need my hair for tutorials, I need my hair because most of my clients have long hair and I want to relate to their product needs and style questions, I need my hair because I just grew it out from my chin, I need my hair because I love long hair. I didn't want short hair, I wasn't even sick of my long hair, I just wanted a change. A fresh start. A way to feel like a new person with a new look to accompany my new life and my new adventures.
Six months in to my break up, and I'm feeling happy, peaceful and like myself. I think chopping my long hair would have felt great at first, but knowing myself, I would have eventually felt unrecognizable and lonely for my curling iron and braids that I love so much. Plus, I found another way to get the change I was craving so much...
..I started wearing pants! Having been a dress and skirts gal, I suddenly found myself wearing pants and jeans all the time. My long hair and I are even wearing pants right now! A little less of a commitment, ha!
Have you had a change in your life that inspired a big hair change?

LAS to offer dual degree with computer science in Fall semester
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is set to offer a new degree program for students who want to pursue degrees in LAS and computer science.
Students will soon be able to receive a degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in a discipline such as psychology or biology and computer science, which is offered by Engineering.
Rob Rutenbar, computer science department head, said the department proposed the program in January 2010, and it will be available for the Fall 2013 semester after it is approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
"The idea of this degree is that you could do computer science plus anthropology, which would be really interesting if you wanted to study social networks, or you could do computer science plus chemistry. There's very interesting stuff going on with computational chemistry today," said Charles Tucker, associate dean of engineering.
Rutenbar agreed that such combinations, such as the computer science and anthropology major, would allow students to examine platforms such as Twitter "from a very professional, human society point of view."
The degree is aimed at students who are not pursuing computer science degrees but still have to meet the growing demand for computer skills from employers.
"Lots of people who aren't going to do IT for a living still need to do computational kinds of stuff," Rutenbar said.
He added that dealing with data and analytics is important in many professions but does not require a computer science degree.
Programs like this have not previously been offered to University students. Double majoring in computer science and LAS is rare because of scheduling and differences in the programs, and majoring in one while only taking a few classes in the other does not provide sufficient knowledge, Rutenbar said.
He said administrators gauged student interest by noting the increasing amount of students from different academic backgrounds opting to minor in informatics.
"We're constantly seeing some of our colleagues in other places doing really exciting things, like at the intersection of sociology and computing or the intersection of anthropology and computing," Rutenbar said. "Anything that gets the engineers south of Green is good, and anything that gets the LAS guys north of Green is good."

trying to sell diabetic supplies. Calls several times a day. Very annoying04/03/2015 1:46PM
United States Medical Supply. Called my wife's cell phone to confirm her order for diabetic supplies. I said she didn't order any supplies from them. The rep said she contacted them about supplies and he was just following up. I KNOW my wife did not contact them. And she certainly didn't order any diabetic supplies from them or anyone else. They had her email address. I asked a few questions and got nothing truthful in return. I told the guy he was a liar. Asked where he was calling from. He said Florida, which is where Untied States Medical is located. He had an accent which may have been hispanic, common to Florida, but who cares? He was a liar, and if he really is from United States Medical Supply, he should be fired for telephone fraud. . . .03/14/2015 12:28PM

They seem to call my wife's phone constantly. . . NEXT TIME: Pick up the phone and quietly say, "The job's done. Better get someone here quickly. It's awfully bloody !!" THEN HANG UP !!07/10/2014 7:41PM
Call several times a day. No message left. Leave a message or stop calling.06/17/2014 2:26PM
Called us and said they were U.S. Meds and were referred to call us by Medicare. That sent warning bells off! Then asked for my husbands medicare number. Did not give it to him and told him I would check with Medicare to verify that they had referred him to call us. Glad I am reading all these posts first. Definitely not going with them. Just a reminder to all further readers of these comments......DO NOT EVER GIVE ANYONE THAT CALLS YOU ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION AT ALL! I work with Law Enforcement and people are being scammed by these kinds of people 100's of times a day!04/15/2014 8:29PM
Yes, I did get call from us med...They say they want to send diabetics a free monitor along with a cook book....but here is the catch...inquired about Medicare saying they would pay most of the expense so be careful out there...When I asked by saying then you would want my Medicare No. then I told him noway, so then he hung up the phone....I would most be assured that they are Scammers, so be careful in answering phone from them...I have gotten 2 calls from them, the first one I did not answer to.....04/11/2014 6:59PM

Arizona Cardinals
Karlos Dansby has 'good meeting' with Arizona Cardinals
It appears free agent linebacker Karlos Dansby's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday proved to be a productive one.
According to Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro, Dansby's visit with Cardinals' officials went well.
Karlos Dansby had "good meeting" with Cards brass today. No contract discussed. Has interest from others including Jets, Houston and Atlanta
— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) May 9, 2013
Dansby told me "it would be good to finish where he started" so he is very excited about the possibilities in Arizona.
— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) May 9, 2013
The 31-year-old veteran spent the first six years of his career with the Cardinals. Dansby could be brought on board as insurance at the linebacker position due to Daryl Washington's recent troubles.
Dansby, who spent the past three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, was released in March due to his high salary.
He has compiled 709 tackles, 31.5 sacks and 11 interceptions in his career.

After MCPS Superintendent Joshua Starr called him out Tuesday, Rep. Chris Van Hollen has joined in on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with a nod to a local politician who died from the disease.
Before dumping a cooler of ice water on himself, Van Hollen said he was making his donation to the ALS Association in memory of Betty Ann Krahnke, the three-term member of the Montgomery County Council who died in 2002.
Krahnke represented Bethesda and Chevy Chase as a Republican in the Council's District 1 seat from 1990-2000. She first began to experience symptoms of ALS in 1998, stepped down from her Council seat in 2000 and became almost completely paralyzed as a result of the disease.
Van Hollen said Krahnke was a terrific member of the Council. He also challenged his son, Gov. Martin O'Malley, and Democratic attorney general nominee Brian Frosh.
Starr also challenged U.S. Labor Secretary and former County Councilmember Thomas Perez and County Executive Isiah Leggett.

Street and Alley Repairs
PA ID# 109-47448-00; City of Martinsville
PW ID# 1993; Street and Alley Repairs
Citation: FEMA-1766-DR-IN, City of Martinsville, Permanent, Project Worksheet (PW) 993
Reference: Work Eligibility
Summary: An intense rainstorm in late May and early June 2008 inundated the City of Martinsville, Indiana. FEMA prepared PW 1993 for asphalt repair to four streets and an alleyway in the amount of $34,799. FEMA determined the repairs were not eligible because the damages were pre-existing alligator cracking related to normal deterioration. The applicant's first appeal dated April 3, 2009, asserted the damage to the streets and alleyway were all storm-related, but the damage was not as extensive as originally stated. The Applicant reduced the total amount requested to $27,480. The Acting Regional Administrator denied the first appeal because the damage was not caused by the disaster and the appeal lacked support documentation. In the second appeal, the Applicant agrees that the damage to the streets was attributable to normal deterioration, and withdrew the request for payment for street repairs. The Applicant, however, asserts the damage to the alleyway was extensive and directly caused by the disaster. The PW documents that the hilly area received between 10 and 12 inches of rain over a 24-hour period. Photographs of the alleyway show damage consistent with run-off of this magnitude.
Issue: Is the repair of damage to the alleyway between Cunningham and Graham Streets eligible for reimbursement as a result of the disaster?
Finding: Yes.
Rationale: 44 CFR §206.223, General Work Eligibility

Concert Calendar | Venues: Sanders Theatre | Fitzgerald Theatre | Season 2015/16 brochure (pdf)
Dear Friends,
In our thirty-third season we are thrilled as always to offer passionate and committed performances of the world's great chamber music played by our members, colleagues and friends. Inspiring guests have always refreshed us, and will do so in the coming season.
Like last season, our Season of Change, we will locate the first three and last three concerts at Sanders Theater. The January and February winter afternoon concerts will be back at the Fitzgerald Theatre by popular demand. Much of our programming this season includes music that refers to and reveres earlier music that made possible futures past, and assures works yet to be.
As a young man Richard Strauss references the great music of Brahms to create his early piano quartet. As an old man he reveres the process of change in his Metamorphosen by quoting the funeral march of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony in conclusion. Brahms cites two of his songs as sources for the rhythmic motive of his first violin sonata. Both Brahms and Schubert evoke the great outdoors, by the river and at the hunt, in their indoor use of the French horn.
In the season of darkness we are lit at the Fitz by works of Ravel, Enescu, and Franck first heard in "The City of Light," and warmed by the affectionate melodies of Dvořák that made even Brahms envious.
Back at Sanders in spring, our three concerts will include the premiere of Harold Meltzer's first Piano Quartet, a gift from our BCMS Commissioning Club, and the Boston premiere of John Harbison's String Trio (2013), through which he fulfills a life long dream to come to terms with "the once and future king" of the string trio repertoire: Mozart's Divertimento, K. 563.
Marcus A. Thompson, Artistic Director

Stephen's a passionate and articulate advocate for increasing the clarity and information value in reports and dashboards we all use. His books, including the recently released Now You See It, have legions of fans. HIs work is often referred to the same breath as the dean of data visualization Edward Tufte, whose 1983 publication The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is probably the best non-business business book you'll ever read.

I'm unlikely to attend any of these workshops, but I'm still pretty excited to know they're happening and, in the case of the one happening right now in Sydney, sold out.

Here's why: first, Stephen gave one of his workshops to one of our internal teams here a while back and it was met with rave reviews from all who attended; second, he was kind enough to write three white papers for us in that same time period and they continue to prove popular downloads from our Dashboarding Web page.

In the first paper, he looks at the core principles for displaying quantitative information - specifically, how our eyes perceive patterns, color and shape, and the conclusions our brains draw from them, often without our knowing. He surveys an increasingly large body of work into visual perception and translates the findings into real-world repercussions for dashboard design.

The second looks at the most common patterns in business data (such as rank, part-to-whole, devation and distribution) and provides helpful guidelines for how to best to represent them. We've included this one in an information kit that shows you how to build them using IBM Cognos software. You can download it here.

In the third paper, Stephen looks looks at future directions in data visualization, including heat maps and geo-spatial renderings - the kind now making their way into the BI landscape courtesy of mashups. You can get it here.

On their own, any one of these is an engaging and informative read. Combined, they're an essential primer for how to communicate clearly with data. If you're currently building a dashboard or need to improve the ones you have, I strongly suggest giving them a read.

Italian Table Talk: Carnival & Berlingozzo cake
For a celebration known as Fat Tuesday, you might think that the traditional recipes would be a chance for gluttons to gleefully stuff their faces with, well, fatty things. Mid-week, no less. Well it's sort of true. Martedì Grasso (also known as Mardi Gras in French), or Fat Tuesday, which just happens to be tomorrow, February 12, is probably the most well known day of Carnevale, Carnival.

Although this Christmas for us is likely going to be an extremely... Read More
Italian Table Talk: Holiday traditions & Cavallucci
I'm not the first one to say this but it must be pointed out that Tuscan cookies are not pretty. In fact, you could say the same for traditional Tuscan desserts in general. Preferring salty to sweet, Tuscans don't have a huge repertoire when it comes to desserts, but the sweets that exist usually play an important part during holidays, from the biscotti for All Saints Day, to this traditional bread made at Easter. Another thing you'll... Read More
Italian Table Talk: Olives & Hunter's stew
After living in Tuscany for so many years, November has come to mean many things to me: rainy days, changing colours in the landscape, vino novello ('new' wine, that young, grape juice-like wine produced from September's harvest), white truffles, a cappuccino in the morning to warm up and above all, the olive harvest and that first press of bright green olive oil. There is nothing like this thick, grass-coloured oil, which I have... Read More
The art of being frugal

It's an exciting time but the thought of also not being paid for the next six months or so is daunting, to say the... Read More

Springtime foraging & wild garlic frittelle
There is something enormously satisfying about foraging for food, something that makes you feel that even in the city, you can skip the supermarket and go out and search for your own food in the parks around your suburb.

"I Am Now Transforming My Obstacles into Opportunities",
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Three Feet from Gold: Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities! (Think and Grow Rich) (Hardcover)
The book reminded me in some ways of the One Minute Manager books. Rather than simply laying out the content in a text book format or a series of short anecdotes, it's written as a novel. What I love about this style of teaching is that it is both educational and entertaining. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Stories are generally easier for people to remember than mere facts.
In this story, a man named Greg is going through personal adversity in his business and his personal life. Greg meets a super-successful businessman, Jonathon Buckland. During his personal journey, he meets with a series of real life successful men and women who share their secrets of success--particularly the value of persistence through adversity.
While the story is fictional, most of the people he meets along the way are real people with real lessons that they have learned from their own experiences. This helps bring the ideas and lessons they share out of the "ivory tower" of theory and into the real world of everyday men and women.
I liked the way the main character has very real and contemporary problems, but learns how to overcome them with positive persistence and a commitment to self-improvement. As a big fan of Napoleon Hill, I loved the way Hill's teachings are woven into the story. While Greg receives a helping hand from his friends, it's clear that the reason they are helping him is because the gradual improvement in his own attitude and a sincere desire to help improve the lives of other people.
I believe that a great book is worth more than it's weight in gold. That is because wisdom and relationships are more valuable than money. Wise thought is the "stuff" that is used to create wealth and success. One of the points made in the book is that "you're the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read."
I think that with the adversity that many people are experiencing today, the message from "Three Feet From Gold" is especially timely. Keep moving forward. Keep growing and learning. Serve others with sincerity. Consistently and persistently apply the proven, timeless principles of success and you can achieve your goals.
Since you're reading this review, you are clearly thinking about getting this book. Go ahead, buy it, read it, study it. You won't be disappointed.

You can't remove an app from Launchpad if it hasn't been installed from the Mac App Store. Unfortunately, you can't change it, but there's a trick.
What you can do is to download an app from the Mac App Store. Then, go to Applications folder, right-click the app and choose "Show Package Content". Then, go to Contents folder and copy the folders related to the Mac App Store to the app you want to delete from Launchpad (you have to access choosing "Show Package Content"). However, note that this only removes the app from Applications folder, so it's better to do it manually from Finder
babowa Jun 22, 2013 1:42 PM
in response to mende1
Curious: wouldn't simply dragging the app from the Applications folder to the trash (or using its uninstaller) also remove it from the Launchpad once you restart/boot up? That appears to be a lot easier. I prefer not to use Launchpad - do all my installs/uninstalls via Finder/Applications folder (I have absolutely no apps purchased at the app store).

How can I wean my toddler from breastfeeding?
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and need to stop breastfeeding my toddler, who wakes up twice a night to be fed. I've tried feeding her right before she goes to sleep, not going to her in the night, giving her cows' milk instead of breast milk, and having her father comfort her -- but nothing works. She tries to lift my shirt and nurse. Please help.

will I keep my breastmilk if nurse 2 times at nite at 5 and 12 for 30 minutes?posted 09/11/2011 by peter rabitt
My son is 22 1/2 months old. I would love to continue as long as he desires with "first thing in the morning" and "last thing at night" nursing, but was told that due to some medicine I have to take, I have to wean him. It tears me up to think I have to give up this most special time between the two of us, but I know he's as healthy and strong as he is because I've stuck with it this long. He's my only child, and will be my only child, so it is especially bittersweet.posted 07/29/2011 by D. Brockman-Nichols
To get my 16 month old son to reduce (not eliminated yet) night feedings we encouraged the binky. He takes it now even to fall asleep which is nice for mom and doesn't seem to mind at night. We had to encourage it during the day before he would take it at night which was hard but now I am glad we did it. I was worried that he would become addicted to the binky but that hasn't happened. My suggestion for night time is to try the binky, for sure it helped us! (I am not weaning my son entirely and don't plan on it for some time... I just wanted to reduce and work on eliminating night feedings because I work and would really like my sleep! :) Good luck and I hope that helped.posted 05/30/2011 by tabbytai
HI I am pretty confident i can stop the bf during the day without too much fuss the thing I'm worried about is the during the night i have no idea how to keep her from waking fully if i am not nursing her back to sleep, anyone have any ideasposted 04/30/2011 by eurokidsclothing
I was just reading through the responses here and read about someone useing Neem Oil to wean there child. I went to wikipedia.com and read about Neem Oil and do NOT recommend it to anyone. It is toxic and can cause infertility. I am weaaning my 13 mo old for 4 weeks now and we are down to nurse at night around 3 am only. I have switch out the daytime feeding with more snacks and peidasure. I definatly wont be useing neem oil. Lemons wont work because he likes those. So I will just keep on slowly just taking ti away and being patient.posted 04/15/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
We had my husband give him cows milk at night so I could get some rest. When we started doing this, he was much happier than when he was nursing. I think I had stopped making milk. He sort of ended up weaning himself. You might try hangng in there a little longer to see if that happens. (I was about 15 weeks or so when my milk dried up.)posted 10/19/2010 by anneanneanne
Putting vinegar on your breasts? how cruel!Surely there is a better more humane way to wean a toddler.Very unsettling.Please moms don't put vinegar or hot sauce on your nipples!posted 09/26/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Same thing happen to me my toddler is now 22 months and I'm 26 weeks prego. A few months ago I bought a bottle (he didn't know what it was) and I start giving him milk it was hard at first but I just keep trying so I stop No means No and now he doesnt know any other milk than from the bottle.posted 08/27/2010 by Jonelly N.
Oh my goodness these posts helped so much! I just found this today when I decided to look online. I have been wanting to ween my daughter for about a month now since she is just too squirmy and thinks that kicking mommy in the neck is fun when nursing. it is also getting to hard to keep getting up so many times a night lately. I tried the lemon juice on my nipples since it was just about nap time and it worked great! I stayed with my daughter for 10 minutes and sang to her and rubbed he back when she let me and she went to sleep on her own. This is wonderful because she has also recently been climbing out of her porta-crib when she doesn't want to nap and I do not want her to try the same thing with her crib and get hurt from falling. Thank you all so much for the very helpful suggestions!posted 08/11/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am still nursing my 16 month old daughter, who is very attached to the boobies. I agree that there are all too many opinions out there as to how long is long enough or too long to nurse. (mostly within our very own families) At this point I am researching suggestions on how to wean her without a lot of trauma when the time is right which I am hoping to prepare for in the next few months. I do not see a day where she will "self wean" as we were told would probably happen. For some of these lil rascals breastfeeding is simply their favorite pastime! Good luck to all mothers whatever the feeding situation.-posted 08/06/2010 by itsjeffsbaby

Las Malinches Group
Update on Las Malinches GroupThe new members of the group are Anastacia and Cirina. With their loan they are going to buy avocados, peaches, plums, and pears.
Cirina, 31, is married and has three daughters. Two are studying in elementary school and the other one is little. She sells seasonal fruit. She requested her loan to buy avocados, peaches, and pears.
She began her business three years ago with some savings she had. Her husband taught her to work selling seasonal fruit. She buys the fruit in the plaza and resells it in other plazas. Her business is important because she likes to sell fruit and she has her own business, which gives her income for her daughters' expenses.
Her business is popular for the quality, flavor, and freshness of her fruit. This business helps her to improve her family financially. Her dreams and hopes are to have more sales and for her daughters to like to work and to be good people.
The members of the group want to tell Kiva and Fundación Realidad, "Thank you very much for your loans. They help us to keep on working in our businesses. Continue supporting us with your loans."
Previous Loan DetailsThis closely-knit group is called "Las Malinches" and is made up of Ms. Adelaida and Ms. Raquel who are going to use their loan to purchase sugar, eggs, drinks, cookies, cheese, oil, soap, rice and beans; Ms. Genoveva who will buy avocados by the box; Ms. Anastacia who will buy avocados, peaches ...

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Does your organisation represent more than just clutter in the eyes of your donors?
My partner has a hoarding habit. A year ago, our apartment was stuffed to the ceiling with all sorts of clutter that we didn't need and never used. Living in the world's second most expensive city, we came to realise just how silly this was- and started taking action. Together, we had a truly epic clearout, donating, selling or dumping more than half of the items we own. And we feel all the better for it.
Over the years we have also amassed quite a large number of charity direct debits between the two of us. Signing up and donating to multiple good causes has been a source of pleasure and pride for both of us. But recently, my partner surprised me by saying that he had stopped his regular giving commitments to all of the organisations he supported, with just one exception. That single charity was going to get more.
Thinking about all this as a fundraiser, I was struck by some uncomfortable parallels between mass fundraising and mass consumption. Any environmentalist will tell you that humanity's current level of material consumption is unsustainable. There are signs that in many parts of the world, we have reached 'Peak stuff'; could we also have reached 'Peak Donor'?
Less is more
Evidence tells us that donors are not fully satisfied with the relationship they are getting for the standard €12-a-month. Many organisations have been attempting to move away from the high-volume, 'low-quality', donor recruitment pattern in order to reduce attrition- with varying degrees of success. Statistics reveal that many of the reasons why donors leave relate to what happens when your organisation's perceived value to donors is diminished. Beyond the data, which unfortunately is still somewhat limited in scope, we have the anecdotal evidence- more of which I will offer here.
Understanding the Minimalism movement – where people (often millennials like myself) are rejecting high-paced, indebted, high-consumption lifestyles – could lead to some interesting and useful conclusions for fundraisers. Japan's Marie Kondo is one of the figureheads of the Minimalism trend. Her very simple methodology of reducing clutter in our homes, stated in her bestselling books and the video below, has millions of dedicated followers.
Now, it's easy to mock; perhaps because we like to cling to the idea that giving is a rational decision rather than an emotional one (spoiler: it's not). My partner felt that he was attached to every single one of his possessions, but by following Kendo's technique he was in fact able to be selective and let go of things. But I was really not expecting to see that he would also apply this method to his charitable giving. In his words: 'I stopped giving to Charity X because I didn't feel a spark'. It wasn't down to the cost; it was that he believed his donation just didn't matter to them (a statement which feels like a dagger through the heart to any fundraiser). This is an organisation he had been donating to for many years. Even more striking is that he had at one time volunteered regularly at their office. He admits that he respects the work they do and understands their importance. The choice was motivated by a wish to consolidate and focus his giving in a way which he believes will maximise the impact, and that meant cancelling those other direct debits for good.
Is it right that we blame the donor? As Ken Burnett's recent blog points out, the terminology we use when talking about donor attrition is unworthy and implies that the organisation is not the one at fault. We've got it the wrong way round: donor loyalty is just as much about organisations being loyal to their donors. If we aren't able to provide real value for our donors, how can we expect their continuing loyalty?
True value
The major reasons donors are telling us why they cancel their support aren't connected to some lifestyle trend, of course. We hear that donors feel they can no longer afford to give, or that other organisations are simply more deserving. In saturated fundraising markets, many of our donors have ended up supporting multiple organisations at the same time. Knowing that disposable incomes rise and fall; how sure are you that the perceived value of your organisation to your donors beats that of, for example, the child sponsorship commitment they have set up? It takes a lot for a donor to break that personal bond, so your organisation had better be providing a very compelling alternative if it wants to make the cut long-term. Interestingly, the style of the donor communication from the organisation which my partner felt most loyalty to is understated, perhaps even ad-hoc and unprofessional- but this only makes the cause appear to be more authentic in a way that the other organisations' much slicker communication perhaps fails to achieve.
Simplification feels good. Getting rid of things might seem harsh, but the motivation behind it is that everything that remains increases in meaning and value. Let's not forget that giving is also supposed to feel good. But so much fundraising seems to have been built on the unquestioned assumption that encouraging donors to give even more, even longer, to even more organisations, multiplies that feeling. Those seem to be some shaky foundations.

Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page know food and they know wine. The authors have penned award-winning titles such as The Flavor Bible and What to Drink with What You Eat. Much like those books, the Food Lover's Guide to Wine is a reference for food lovers and wine lovers alike who appreciate wine as an integral part of enjoying food.
For the first time in history, Americans drank more wine than the French in 2009. In 2010, the U.S. became the largest wine-consuming country in the world. Many Americans however, still drink soft drinks with their meals. In this latest book, Dornenburg and Page seek to teach people that wine can be a healthful, affordable accompaniment to any meal and that by learning what flavors you like, how to read labels, select and serve wine, food lovers can expand their enjoyment of wine.
The book begins with a timeline of important events in the American history of wine, such as 1839, when George Calvert Yount planted the first vineyards in the Napa Valley. Throughout the book, Dornenburg and Page interviewed hundreds of sommeliers and other wine experts about their experiences with and advice for learning about wine. This means there isn't a consistent author voice throughout the book, which takes some getting used too. But it also means there are hundreds of collective years of experience within the covers of Food Lover's Guide to Wine to learn from.
The six noble wine grapes (Chardonnay, Reisling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc) are compared to a box of primary colored crayons. Instead of being overwhelmed with every color of crayon in a box of 64, kids start off with just a box of eight. The authors suggest the same approach for learning about wine--don't get overwhelmed with all the varietals of wine available, start small and learn the basics first.
There's a chart of choosing wines by flavors such as grass, honey, raspberries, raisins, vanilla, etc. So, if you know you like a black currant flavor, you should seek out Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon. Other tips for learning which wines you like include charts for choosing wines by sweetness, weight and style. If you normally drink a Syrah, try Nero d'Avola, Tinta de Toro or Zinfandel.
The bulk of the book is dedicated to an A to Z guide of more than 250 wine varietals, describing their key characteristics and flavors, provenance and tips for aging and serving. This is like the box of 64 crayons. There are suggestions for food pairings and a list of 150 wines under $15.
While I'd consider this a reference book, it isn't one you can just pick up when you need a suggested wine pairing for braised short ribs. Once you've read the book a bit however, you know that Syrah goes well with beef, but you've also read that Emily Wines, the Master Sommelier of Fifth Floor in San Francisco likes a California Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alexander Valley with a fatty beef dish.
There chapter on pairing wines with each course of a meal is helpful and includes sidebars throughout for pairing wines with various cuisines, common dishes and food and wine flavor affinities such as Sauternes with almonds and peaches. There isn't an exact answer to every dish, though many of the quoted experts suggested Champagne as the wine that can go with just about every course and every cuisine. So, if you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of wine pairings, you can't go wrong with serving bubbly.
Meet Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page this week on their visit to Seattle to promote Food Lover's Guide to Wine. They will be at Book Larder in Fremont on Thursday, December 1 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. for a free book signing. They'll also be at the Tom Douglas cookbook social the same day from 4-7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and include entrance to the event, a drink ticket and food samples from over a dozen cookbook authors there to talk about and sell their books.

What is the the difference between Lortab and Norco?
Responses (1)
31 Aug 2011
They are both hydrocodone, they are just made by different manufacturers, as is vicodin from what a dr. Told me many years ago. I have been prescribed lortab, vicodin, and norco and when I asked for generic I got the same pills for all. They were all 10 mg and all oblong white pills with an imprint of "M363". Good luck, I hope this helps.
Thanks for your answer. I was taking Lortab 7.5 for my chronic pain and have been since 2009. The doctor that was prescribing them went on permanent medical leave and was referred to another PM doctor and he prescribed Norco. I am not able to get them filled for 3 more days because he had my pharmacy records and obviously seen that my Lortab script would be due at that time. But again, thanks for your response it was very helpful.
U r very welcome. I have not met u onto here before ,but welcome if you r new. There r some great people here. I ask every medical question I have here. I am so glad I was able to help.
Np. Thanks again. I look forward to using this site. It seems very helpful.
In generic form they are the same but in brand name they are different. Norco makes me very sick and Lortab doesn't. all in generic make me sick. My Dr found this out when I was in the hospital with a broken back
