I need some of the options that sort in "List Cats" to be available within the loop...
I would like a plugin that allows me to sort categories to be easier on the eyes / to understand logically / to want to click on categories more.
What I want personally is a table in posts for my handbag blog.
I want to do something like this: (the top would not be a category, but a header for the type, the cats are examples)
| Company: | | Style:. | | Material: |
| Gucci... | | Tote... | | Leather.. |
(Ack, the page didn't accept my spacing for that illustration, excuse that mess.)
I would also like to allow more general categories, like "on celebrities" and "ugly bags," listed above that, but different and separate, not the same ones.
This could be worked out to look how I wanted it if only there was a capability to separate categories within posts / the loop like there is on the sidebar.
So the plugin author need not worry about my table or even the separating of the kinds of categories.
I'll see what I can get, if anything. Basically all I need are some of the options for "list cats."

Introducing Heroku Private Spaces: Private PaaS, delivered as-a-Service
September 10, 2015 by Jesper Joergensen
As the world becomes more cloud-centric, and more of our apps and business depend on its capabilities, the trust, control and management of cloud services is more important than ever. Since the first days of Heroku — and Platform-as-a-Service in general — many companies have struggled to balance the impact and success of the cloud with the control offered by traditional software and on-premise infrastructure. Too often that balance tips back towards software, with companies choosing to meet those requirements by building and running their own platforms, inevitably becoming frustrated by the resulting complexity, cost and poor experience.
Today Heroku is introducing Private Spaces, a new Heroku runtime that delivers the best of both worlds; the simplicity and success of the cloud, combined with the network and trust controls historically only available with on premise, behind the firewall deployments. Available today in public beta, Private Spaces is powered by Heroku Dogwood — an all-new runtime architecture that augments the current Cedar runtime. Spaces are being released as part of Salesforce's new App Cloud, also launching today.
Heroku Private Spaces
A Heroku Private Space contains all of the familiar elements of a Heroku app, including dynos and data services. These elements are deployed and run in network isolated environments, separating the "private" application, including its associated data, from the "public" systems that keep it up, running and healthy.
The new mix of multi-tenant control plane with private runtimes is what makes this architecture unique, and allows it to share an identical development and deployment experience with the Heroku you know today. You develop and deploy apps in Private Spaces just like you would normally on Heroku; Heroku Button, git push deployments, review apps, pipelines, seamless scaling, self healing and Elements Ecosystem — are all included in Private Spaces.
Even better, this isolation architecture also allows for more geographic control; Spaces can be deployed in Frankfurt, Germany, Tokyo, Japan, or in the United States in either Virginia or Oregon, with more regions to be added in the future.Read more →

More on Trademarks
Selecting a good trademark, like selecting good wine, requires skill and sophistication. Intuition and common sense can often lead to ineffective trademarks, just as guessing over the wine list can lead to a disappointing dining experience.
Some marketing managers who should know better suggest legally ineffective trademarks for their products. Obviously I cannot reveal too many specific details, so I will create some examples to illustrate bad trademark choices I have seen. You cannot simply take a noun that is generic for the goods or services you're selling and make it into a trademark. This rule prevents someone from claiming private ownership over a common word. Thus, you can't use the word Computer as the trademark for a computer you sell.
You cannot use tricks of written or spoken language to get around these restrictions. Le Car would not be registrable to describe the newest model of automobile. Making the trademark sound like an exotic foreign language doesn't make the mark less generic. You cannot create a trademark simply by describing obvious product features and writing it in a unique way. Thus, PhoneRinger would not be registrable for a device that makes a sound when a telephone call arrives. And you cannot deliberately deceive consumers by being misdescriptive. The mark OpenSource could not be applied to a proprietary closed-source operating system. Trademarks that are "merely descriptive or deceptively misdescriptive" cannot be registered (15 U.S.C. §1052(e)).
Another frequent mistake is to try to capitalize on a competitor's trademarks (MacPizzas for a new chain of pizza parlors or Pentalium for a microprocessor) to get instant recognition in the marketplace. These trademarks probably would be attacked because they are likely "to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive" as to the origin of the goods or services (15 U.S.C. §1052(d)).
Trademarks can incorporate the adjectives Supreme, Superior or Enhanced, but such marks are of limited value. These terms are so over-used that they have lost their ability to distinguish goods or services. Also, you cannot take someone else's trademark and add one of those words to create your own trademark.
You must prevent your trademark or service mark from becoming generic for your goods or services. That is why Xerox tries diligently to prevent people from saying "I'm going to make a xerox of that document" instead of "Xerox copy". To prevent your trademark from becoming generic, always make sure it is used as an adjective and never as a noun.
A trademark does not exist in isolation. It must be used in conjunction with specific goods or services to signify the source or origin of those goods or services. For this reason, the same word can be used by more than one company as a trademark, as long as the goods or services are different. Thus, you can buy a Cadillac automobile and Cadillac dog food, and there will be no confusion among customers seeking one product and accidentally buying the other.
Trademark attorneys describe a spectrum of possible trademarks. In ascending order, which roughly reflects their eligibility for trademark status and the degree of protection accorded, these classes are:
Descriptive: certain marks are descriptive of the product, the name of the owner or the place where the product originates. They convey an immediate idea of the ingredients, qualities or characteristics of the goods. The distinction between a generic and a descriptive term was illuminated using the example Deep Bowl Spoon:
"Deep Bowl" identifies a significant characteristic of the article. It is merely descriptive of the goods, because it informs one that they are deep in the bowl portion....It is not, however, the "common descriptive name" of the article, [since] the implement is not a deep bowl, it is a spoon...."Spoon" is not merely descriptive of the article—it identifies the article—[and therefore] the term is generic.
—Fletcher, "Actual Confusion as to Incontestability of Descriptive Marks", 64 Trademark Rep. 252, 260 (1974)
Suggestive: a mark is suggestive if it requires imagination, thought and perception to reach a conclusion as to the nature of goods, for example, Orange Crush, Cuisinart and London Fog.
Arbitrary: when a common word is used in an unfamiliar way, examples include Apple, Apache and Python. Arbitrary terms often make good trademarks because they are likely to be more appealing to customers and are more easily remembered.
Fanciful: is usually applied to words invented solely for their use as trademarks, such as Altoids or Kodak. Fanciful words can make excellent trademarks because there is no possibility of confusion with real words.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Anyone at Kneller Activities Center at halftime who predicted the final outcome of this one would have been as wrong as those weather forecasters calling for a Saturday blizzard.
Trailing, 32-19, at intermission, Littleton High regrouped, rallied and romped in the second half, posting a 70-59 victory over Quaboag in the Clark Tournament Small Schools championship game Saturday afternoon before 1,150.
In one of the most remarkable comebacks in the 74 years of the tournament, Littleton (21-1) outscored Quaboag, 51-27, over the final 16 minutes and claimed its first Clark title.
"We knew we were going to battle back," said Littleton senior Ryan Sullivan, who led the Tigers with 25 points, 19 in the second half. "They (Quaboag) were making some incredible shots in the first half, and they just couldn't miss.
"When we started pounding the ball more inside, we started to come back," he added. "I've been on this team for four years, always losing in the semifinals. Now, this year we've finally won it, and it feels great."
"We've stuck together all season long, and that's what made us tough enough to come back from that deficit at halftime," said Littleton senior Chris Murray, who netted 20 points.
Quaboag senior Thomas Jankins matched Sullivan's 25 points and was joined in double figures by junior Ethan Lecaire (14) and sophomore Jacob Wisniewski (12), but the Cougars (18-4) cooled off in the second half.
Midway through the first quarter, Quaboag pulled away, starting with a baseline runner by Lecaire, followed by a 3-pointer by Wisniewski. The Cougars' 9-0 run to close out the first gave them an 18-9 lead.
On its way to a big halftime lead, Quaboag scored seven straight points to open up the quarter. Jankins darted inside for a layup and swished a 3-pointer from the top of the key the next time down the court. Nicholas Schlosstein then sank a 12-foot jumper for a 25-9 lead.
Littleton didn't score in the second quarter until 3:28 was left, when Sullivan spun into the paint and made a layup.
When Jankins pumped home another trey in the final seconds before the break, the Cougars were in control, 32-19. But the momentum soon shifted.
Murray, with a couple of steals and layups, plus a 3-pointer from the corner, sparked the Tigers' comeback as the third quarter began. The Cougars' lead was down to six points with just under three minutes gone.
The Cougars answered with 3-pointers, but Lecaire's with 3:08 left in the third was their last until very late in the game and the outcome decided.
Down the third-quarter stretch, baskets by Sullivan and Murray, along with Danny Johnson and Anthony Gonnella, both finishing with eight points, kept chipping at the Cougars' lead, which was only 47-44 entering the final quarter.
"We talked at halftime about how we had to pick it up defensively," Littleton coach Mike Lombard said. "Once we turned the momentum around, got a couple of steals and applied full-court pressure, you could see the confidence in our kids' faces."
Littleton finally took the lead, 48-47, on Murray's layup with 7:05 left. A half-minute later, Wisniewski fouled out.
Sullivan powered back an offensive rebound and then hit a 3-pointer to vault Littleton ahead, 58-49, with 4:48 left. Lecaire's layup with 3:50 to play pulled Quaboag to within 58-52, but the Cougars got no closer.

Macro shot of a very interesting white n' pink spider I found crawling in my strawberry patch. (Yes, Ripper To Shreds has a strawberry patch.) That's my fingers it's hanging out on. Besides being sexy as fuck, this little spider was much more "conscious" of me than most average spiders, watching me it seemed, as much as I was it. Summer 2012.
ooo pretty spider... hope it dont get bigger... (uisually I am more scared of big ones)
I love this.:')
That's a type of Crab Spider. I've never seen one that color! Really cool! I forget what type it is exactly, but I've seen them before.

AbstractSolar power based on photovoltaic (PV) technologies can address significant portions of the growing energy demand, provided it can be cost-competitive. While the incumbent silicon technology has not proven to be competitive in the absence of heavy government subsidies, printed organic photovoltaics (OPV) is a solution that can meet all of the challenges because of its low-cost materials and manufacturing processes. Plextronics, Inc. and Solarmer Energy Inc., two world leaders in OPV technology will collaborate to further develop the technology and enable broad commercialization of the same. During the course of this Phase I DOE-SBIR program, Plextronics will partner with Solarmer to develop novel materials systems and establish a pathway toward achieving greater than 10% power conversion efficiency in the future. This will be accomplished by blending Solarmer

Adults with some form of mental illness have a smoking rate 70% higher than adults with no mental illness, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
Researchers found that 36% of adults with a mental illness are cigarette smokers, compared with only 21% of adults who do not have a mental illness.
Nearly one in five adults in the United States — about 45.7 million Americans — have some type of mental illness, according to the report. Among adults with mental illness, smoking prevalence is especially high among younger adults, American Indians and Alaska Natives, those living below the poverty line and those with lower levels of education. Differences also exist across states, with prevalence ranging from 18.2% in Utah to 48.7% in West Virginia.
Combined data from SAMHSAs 20092011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were used to calculate national and state estimates of cigarette smoking among adults ages 18 and older who reported having any mental illness. In the report, mental illness was defined as having a diagnosable mental, behavioral or emotional disorder, excluding developmental and substance use disorders, in the past 12 months.
"Smokers with mental illness, like other smokers, want to quit and can quit," CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, said in a news release. "Stop-smoking treatments work, and its important to make them more available to all people who want to quit."
The report confirms that on average adult smokers with mental illness smoke more cigarettes per month than those without mental illness (331 vs. 310 cigarettes). Adult smokers with mental illness also are less likely to quit smoking cigarettes than adult smokers without mental illness.
"Special efforts are needed to raise awareness about the burden of smoking among people with mental illness and to monitor progress in addressing this disparity," said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde.
The report appears in the February issue of Vital Signs. To read the report, including steps being taken at the federal level to address the issue of smoking among people with mental illness, visit www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/SmokingAndMentalIllness/index.html.

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook is getting rid of a privacy feature that let users limit who can find them on the social network.
Facebook Inc. said Thursday that it is removing a setting that controls whether users could be found when people type their name into the website's search bar.
Facebook says only a single-digit percentage of the nearly 1.2 billion people on its network were using the setting.
The change comes as Facebook is building out its search feature, which people often use to find people they know — or want to know — on the site.
Facebook, which is based in Menlo Park, Calif., says users can protect their privacy by limiting the audience for each thing they post about themselves.

Arts You Want Art?
posted by July 13 at 9:50 AMon
Yesterday I spent running from one gallery to another, finding.
12:30 pm.
Francine Seders Gallery: Print Invitational
Group show, 11 artists, prints everywhere.
Surprise find: Anna McKee, an eloquent urban romantic in the tradition of pictorialist photography. Listen to McKee, Bonnie Lebesch, and Emily Gherard talk at the gallery Tuesday night (the 17th) from 6-8 pm.
These are by McKee (I love the filmic nostalgia of the top half of the second one):
And this, by Emily Gherard, is like a goth representation of Lead Pencil Studio's Maryhill Double.
1:30 pm.
OKOK Gallery: Installation underway on Gregory Euclide's I Have Been Remembering: Half Lives & Half Truths
At one point yesterday, there was a full vodka bottle and a hypodermic needle in the gallery's front window. All for art, man. Euclide used the vodka bottle to collect water at Puget Sound, and he was using the needle to inject single bubble-wrap bubbles with that water—and with tap water and puddle water. The bubbles are mounted on the window first in rows, then injected from the top.
OKOK has a great space—about 1,800 square feet—and because of it and thanks to the imagination of its owners, Charlie and Amanda Kitchings, this is the first time that Euclide, a Minneapolis artist, has taken over an entire gallery to make an installation. For it, the painter cut out tiny, one-inch-diameter circles of paper, painted tiny imaginary landscapes on them, and then adhered a bubble-wrap bubble to each one, so they're seen through the bubble. Seven hundred of those tiny paintings are lined up in parallel rows on the walls that run in rivulets onto the floor. So at the opening Saturday night from 6-10 pm, you'll have to watch where you step.
In addition to those, Euclide made an installation that's basically a storm of paper. On one long sheet, he made a painting of a 360-degree view from the gallery's door (sent to him in photographs). As he often does, he washed the painting with water after painting it, so it's mostly an aftereffect of itself. The paper is cut into squares; a pile of them on the floor are backed with stamp adhesive. The artist wants people to take them and attach them all over the city.
Since the show doesn't open until Saturday, there aren't images of it yet, but I'm going to attach the invite image so you get a sense of what the tiny bubble paintings are like. They're for sale individually, and every time one is sold, a marker with the date will go up in its place, so the unspecific little landscapes will be replaced by the chronological facts of their disappearance, changing the installation with time.
Euclide's traditional larger paintings are up, too. Here's a sense of his painting sensibility from an earlier installation:
A detail from that:
The opening Saturday will include a sound component by Son of Rose. And in the future, OKOK is doing some cool stuff, including chefs working with artists on pre-opening night meals. Stay tuned to this gallery (showing five contemporary artists on portraiture in August).
3 pm.
Crawl Space Gallery: Diana Falchuk: Sweet Remains
Diana Falchuck (she of the I Love the USPS mailboxes project) works with what she calls "dead food."
She goes to the grocery store, buys food, and lives with it for months, drying it and experimenting with it to create sculptures that have something in common both with Justin Gibbens's adorable-scientific drawings of affable mutants and Jim Rittimann's gory-gorgeous reanimated insects. (She also makes imaginative drawings that bring to mind Susan Robb, but they're on mylar and hard to reproduce.)
Falchuk is better known for her work postering utility poles and affectionately washing mailboxes, but she has been semi-secretly working with "dead food" for years in her apartment. It's no wonder the sculptures feel so intimate, even loved.
This weekend is your last chance to see the show; it's open noon to 5 Saturday and Sunday.
(lemon, moss, and pink bumps from the bottoms of slippers)
(carrot and pins)
(sewn plum, salt)
4:20 pm.
The Anne Bonny (named after the lady pirate): The Theme is No Theme
Spencer Moody's new store for art, home accoutrements, and dead people's furniture is terrific. (Please don't buy the golden chair before this weekend so I can still pick it up.) Upstairs is the gallery.
The standout in the current group show is a giant pink painting. Before I look at it, I'm drawn to the handwritten note on the pink table on the floor. It says:
Spencer, Here is a
paintiopainting of Shannon Kringen. It is called "A Skinny Shannon Kringen with an Ice Cream Cone." I can't imagine that anyone will buy it, really I jojust hope she sees it. Price it however you want, if you do sell it, send me enough money for a pizza. Oh, here are some books as well. I made them today, I have terrible allergies & a head cold. Take care, Derek Erdman.
Aww, he just wants her to see it. How sweet and romantic, like when Eddie Argos says he wants a bus full of schoolchildren to sing to Emily Kane—wait, this woman is hideous, all hairy and pig-faced and slack-jawed, wielding a vanilla waffle cone like a club.
Sadly, there's no image available of her. (I took a phone picture of her, but I'm just lame enough that I don't know how to transfer.) You'll just have to go and see her yourself; you really should.
Kringen, what'd you do to this guy?
6 pm.
Quick stop at Platform Gallery, Ross Sawyers
Sawyers makes large-scale photographs of architectural models he builds. (It's a not-uncommon conceit mastered by James Casabere.) Sawyers is fresh out of grad school and still figuring things out, including how to mount his work (this dry board-mounted tactic seems to flatten them). I was drawn to this diptych:
Coming up at Platform: Scott Fife with all new work in September; in October, A Spectral Glimpse, a group show with Platform's first guest curator, the extraordinarily capable Jim O'Donnell.
6:15 pm.
James Harris Gallery: Rashid Johnson: Dark Matters
I'm writing about this one for next week, so I'll be quiet here and just give you this link and this image.

Hello, I wanted to create a homepage, where snippets of posts would appear. I installed the plugin and it really showed feeds of posts, but when I click on the buttom "view more" - I can see that the rest of the post disappeared :( Not only on the website, but also in my kokpit, there are just "snippets" of posts.. I "rescued" them with auto saved version. What was wrong? Does this plugin work only with feeds from another websites? Why it distroy my posts?
Sorry If my question sound trivial, but I'm newby on WP.
And the second question - is it necessary to use loop to make a homepage with snippets from the blog or is there a simpler way?

Plans are afoot to transform the Gorge Rd business zone into
a ''creative and urban'' hub, dubbed the ''Silo project''.
Plans were unveiled last week by landscape and urban design
architects Baxter Design Group, Christchurch-based architects
Nott Architects and realtor and development manager Buzz
Scown. A consent application is to be submitted in the coming
Concept plans for Silo were presented to the Queenstown Lakes
District council urban design panel for review in December.
The site, opposite Wakatipu High School, is home to the
Carter's building within the Gorge Rd business zone.
That building is scheduled to be vacated and demolished in
Plans for the 3000sq m site include a building with a
double-storey road frontage and three storeys to the rear of
the site, along with extensive parking for hospitality,
retail, industrial and office activities and a shared parking
Mr Scown said he was liaising with several potential tenants
''eager to become a part of Queenstown's new
`revitalised-industrial' precinct''.
Silo was attracting ''innovative, edgy companies'' which
''fit the industrial look we're creating'', he said.
Architect Charlie Nott said Silo would epitomise the early
European industrial style seen in some mixed-use developments
in the United Kingdom and United States.
''Silo is a unique proposition that perfectly marries modern
high-tech construction with industrial design that stays true
to the area's heritage,'' he said.
Paddy Baxter, of Baxter Design Group, said Silo would be
''functional with an industrial and quirky feel''.
Buildings would be broken up by use of different materials
and gable forms to ''reduce the perceived feel of bulk and
''Detailing is being discussed further with individual
tenants, though we anticipate that the signage and the
general site character, while being controlled, will be
random and industrial in appearance, giving the impression of
refurbishment over time.
The trio had already scoured New Zealand for recycled
materials to be used to create the urban industrial look and
It was hoped, subject to consent, construction could begin in
June and was expected to take 12 months.

I was lucky enough to stay at the E&O recently whilst on a business trip to Penang. From the minute you enter the lobby you know you are going to be staying somewhere special.
I was lucky enough to have a room with a small balcony and a view over the pool and straight out to the malacca straits. My room had two oversized singles which were extremely comfy along with a lounge area and a rather majestic bathroom with his and hers vanity units!
Breakfast is delightful with choices ranging from pain au chocolate to sushi!
The Malaysians are extremely gracious people and there is no end to their excitement when discussing local culinary offerings! Of which there are many to taste.
I highly recommend this hotel for both business and pleasure travel as there's nothing nicer than sitting by the pool at the end of a busy day enjoying a cocktail or two!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Eastern & Oriental Hotel is the embodiment of both a special time and a special place. For well over a century, this remarkable hotel - known simply as 'The E&O' to generations of travellers - has stood as a testament to the grand elegance of the British colonial era. In many ways, it has also come to represent Penang itself; its story inextricably woven into the island's history, its traditions an indelible part of many a traveller's treasured memory, its name synonymous with the magical island once known as The Pearl Of the Orient. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Fastbooking, Booking.com, HotelTravel.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Priceline, Agoda, Odigeo, Asiatravel.com Holdings and Ctrip TA so you can book your Eastern & Oriental Hotel reservations with confidence.

from around the web, shared and ranked by a community of deal fiends like you.
Go to Deals.Woot.
Ok... this doesn't look right.
Not a bad deal. I bought a set that included a wall nightlight from Woot in Aug 2012 for $14.99. http://kids.woot.com/offers/mobi-tykelight-bundle-1 It still works great and my kids love them! They love being able to choose a different color each night. :-)
What the what?
These are very weird looking, but it would be good to have a portable night light for your potty trained kid. Mine's not old enough for this yet...
Not good reviews on Amazon. Almost half of them say they break after a few months or don't work at all.

DENVER (AP) -- Northern Colorado is getting the brunt of a winter storm that has knocked out power to at least 62,000 homes and businesses along the Front Range.
The area from Boulder north to Larimer County has gotten most of the snowfall in the eastern half of the state. There's about a foot of snow in the Greeley area.
All the snow has caused power outages by snapping tree limbs and power lines.
The state's largest utility, Xcel Energy, said about 62,000 of its customers are without power. It wasn't immediately clear how many people who get their power elsewhere were also without electricity.
Xcel has brought in crews from Grand Junction and Texas to help with repairs.
Power outages have shut down the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

(02/07/2015) - We rented a one bedroom for 2 weeks. It was our first time in Mexico and Sherri and her staff were great to work with. The property is ideally located in the middle of town. We often walked to eat and shop and had rented a car which took us to many great dive sites. We really enjoyed when all the others staying there would often get together for a drink and to talk about our days adventures. All the people there gave great advice and we met many great people that we had a lot in common with. Most were long term residents. We would recommend this to couples going to Cozumel.
Barry G. ~ Camrose, AB, Canada
Stay (04/01/2013) - When we arrive to IslaMar, it is like being welcomed home and IslaMar has been our home for several years. Miguel is a wonderful villa host and Zuri who sees us each day is like family. Sherri and Mauricio it is wonderful seeing you in Cozumel once again! It is with sadness that it is time to leave our IslaMar Home and we look forward to our return next year!
Art & Pam B. ~ Portland, OR
Stay (07/15/2012) - We had another wonderful stay here at IslaMar! Extra kudos to Miguel in his help to find Tims keys that had been left/dropped in a taxi! The Villas are so quiet with just us here and of course the diving with Dive Paradise was wonderful, as were our meals at San Carlos Pescaderia and El Morro! We hope to be back again to enjoy this bit of paradise.
Tim & Karin McD. ~ Portland, OR
Stay (11/15/2012) - What a wonderful time my wife and I had at IslaMar! Peace, quiet, water, pool, birds, street vendors, taxis, walking, sunshine and warm! We spent our anniversary, Thanksgiving and so many relaxing hours here at your gorgeous villa without a car or concern. We will be back and hope to stay as long as we plan our next trip! The people are great, your Zuri & Miguel and Susana, they taught us how to do some Yucatan and Mexican cooking. The little shops and eateries just a block or 3 away how grand! Looking forward to a return visit in the year to come.
Guy & June M. ~ Alaska
Stay (03/29/2013) - Wonderful time, accommodations were just what we needed perfect little jewel in the middle of the city. Thanks to Sherri, Zuri & Miguel for all your help and valuable information. Already planning our next trip. P.S. Snorkeling @ Palmar was excellent!

Never had to deal with a hurricane. I have lived without power, running water, and heat though. Sucks.
I have gone through bouts of 24-48 hours simply without power. Reading isn't a bad deal where you have adequate light.
Inconvenience vs roughing it out of necessity are two different things.
Homeless, camping, or living in the boonies where part of your 'home' is outside. Depends on how rough you want to "rough it". Wilderness survival skill is not only handy, it is key. It's a hardass living for sure if you had to do it every day all year long. I'm glad I didn't have to.
Never hurts to have some kind of backup plans for the occasions, though. So what if it seems paranoid? It keeps you from getting too lazy, complacent, or arrogant and you'll be glad you did if there is ever a 'next time'.

Life Better Switch Your Major to Business
Got a student loan? Planning to get a student loan? First, the bad news:
Students across the nation will have to pay thousands more in college loans beginning Saturday, according to a series of reports released today by the research arm of the Campaign for America's Future. College students and graduates will be pushed deeper into debt as interest rates on Stafford loans — the basic student loan — rise from 5.3 percent to 7.14 percent on old loans and to 6.8 percent on new loans at the end of this week.
Second, some more bad news:
Tuition at the average four-year public university has increased by 40 percent since 2001, and nearly two-thirds of all four-year college graduates now have student loans. Students and their parents are going further and further into debt, creating a burden that is often unsustainable. Student loan debt already causes 14 percent of young graduates to delay marriage; 30 percent to hold off on buying a car; 21 percent to postpone having children; and 38 percent to delay buying a home.
And finally, a little finger-pointing:
Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage explained how Congress has carried out a raid on student aid through acts of commission and omission.
"The failure of the current administration and Congress to make college affordable for all qualified students is a disservice to the country," said Borosage. "The Republican leadership has allowed interest rates on student loans to rise, increased the interest rate on loans that parents take out to help pay for their children's education and refused to allow a vote on a bill that would cut interest rates in half on new loans."

Family Secrets
I spent the first eight years of my life in a Catholic orphanage. My birth mother became pregnant at fifteen, and her father sent her to a home for pregnant girls and insisted that she put me up for adoption. Although my family was not Catholic, they placed me in an orphanage run by nuns. It was 1938. I was two months old.
Many people think of an orphanage as a sad place. That was not my experience. As a child, I was tucked in every night. I received lots of attention. People often tell stories of cruel or abusive nuns, but I didn't know any. When I was eight, the nuns told me I was going to be adopted. I wasn't thrilled. I should have been delighted to have my own room, but I missed the big dorm. I longed for the structure and order of the orphanage-everything done according to schedule, everything in its place. Regular family life was more spontaneous and relaxed. I had trouble adapting.
Initially I liked my adopted father. But our relationship deteriorated over time. My dad had two jobs: he farmed and he worked in the oil fields. The work took its toll. He labored twelve hours and slept with a fifth of whiskey. At eighteen, just before I went off to college, my parents divorced. Looking back, it is clear that life with my adopted family was more dysfunctional than life at the orphanage.
I was a very good athlete, and I received a scholarship to play football at a large state college. I...

hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia (excess of fats in the blood), and elevated blood levels of liver enzymes; later symptoms may include hepatomegaly, chronic liver disease (cirrhosis) and liver failure later in life. Some individuals have short stature and noncancerous (benign) tumors called adenomas in the liver. GSDIII is cause by mutations in the AGL gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[1] Treatment typically includes a high-protein diet with cornstarch supplementation to maintain a normal level of glucose in the blood.[2] GSDIII is divided into types IIIa, IIIb, IIIc, and IIId; types IIIa and IIIc mainly affect the liver and muscles, and GSD types IIIb and IIId typically affect only the liver.[1]Glycogen storage disease type 3 (GSDIII) is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of glycogen in the body's cells. This buildup impairs the function of certain organs and tissues, especially the liver and muscles. Symptoms typically begin in infancy and may include
