Llangyfelach - Gazetteers
Extract from "A Topographical Dictionary of Wales" by Samuel Lewis 1833
"LLANGYVELACH (LLAN-GYVELACH), a parish partly within the limits of the new borough of SWANSEA, and partly in the hundred of LLANGYVELACH, county of GLAMORGAN, SOUTH WALES, 4 miles (N. by W.) from Swansea, comprising the hamlets of Higher Clas, Lower Clas, Upper Mawr, Lower Mawr, Upper Pen Derwi, Lower Pen Derwi, Upper Rhwngdwy Clydach, and Lower Rhwngdwy Clydach, each of which maintains its own poor, and containing 7753 inhabitants.
About the year 990, Howel, Prince of South Wales, and his nephew Edwin, having entered the dominions of Ithel, Prince of Glamorgan, and ravaged them without mercy, were met, on their return, at a place called Cors Eineon, in this parish, by Howel, the brother of Ithel, who had suddenly raised the country in their rear : having assembled an immense multitude, armed with the first weapons they could obtain, he here routed his enemies with great slaughter, and recovered the plunder which they were carrying away.
This parish, which is situated in a district abounding with mineral wealth, is more than ten miles in length, and in many parts six in breadth. Clasemont, lately the seat of Sir John Morris, Bart., has been recently taken down; and the only seat deserving notice, now within the limits of the parish, is Penllergare, the elegant residence of L. W. Dillwyn, Esq., author of some approved botanical works
The principal mineral production is coal, which is procured in great quantities, and the working of which affords employment to the greater part of the population. The copper-works, established here for the manufacture of the ore produced in other parts of the kingdom, and the collieries, are conducted by different companies on a very extensive scale, the former furnishing employment to more than one thousand five hundred, and the latter to two thousand, men. For the residence of the workmen a very considerable village has been built by Sir John Morris, on the western bank of the river Tawy, which falls into Swansea bay, and is navigable to this place for sloops of small burden : it has been designed upon a regular plan, with a view to its future improvement, from the probable increase of the works, and is called, after the name of its proprietor, Morriston.
The Swansea canal intersects the parish in its course up the western bank of the Tawy.
A fair is held on March 1st.
The petty sessions for the hundred are held in this parish ; and the Bishop of St. David's, who, as Dean of the College of Christ Church in Brecknock, is lord of the manor, holds two manorial courts here in the year.
The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Carmarthen, and diocese of St. David's, rated in the king's books at £ 9. 14. 9 1/2., and in the patronage of the Bishop, who, as Dean of the College of Brecknock, is impropriator of the great tithes. The church, dedicated to St. Cyvelach, is a very neat and well-built structure, consisting of a nave and chancel, the former of which has been recently rebuilt : the old tower, which still remains, is detached from the present, as it was from the former, structure, standing at a short distance from the nave : in the sepulchral chapel belonging to the family of Penllergare is an elegant cenotaph of black marble, to the memory of the late ---Llewellyn, Esq., of that place. The situation of parish clerk is worth from £70 to £100 per annum, arising chiefly from a charge of two shillings and sixpence upon each plough used upon every farm in the parish, and is in the gift of the Bishop of St. David's. There are in the parish four placcs of worship for Baptists, seven for Independents, two for Calvinistic Methodists, and one for Unitarians.
Thomas Price, Esq., of Penllergare, bequeathed £2, charged on a tenement called Abergwenlas, to the poor he also gave £2. 5. per annum for the instruction of five poor boys at the newly-erected school at Llangyvelach, and the like sum chargeable on his personal estate. Thomas Popkin, in 1751, bequeathed a rent-charge of £2, and Alexander Amyas, in 1773, the sum of £40, to the poor. Mrs. Williams of Gellygron bequeathed £2 per annum, chargeable on a tenement called Glynmarch, to a school at Gellyonen, in this parish. A school is held at Morriston, for the benefit of the children of the workmen in the different coal and copper works, by the proprietors of which it is supported. Lewis Thomas, Esq., gave a messuage and tenement called Tir bach, the rent of which is distributed among the poor of Upper and Lower Mawr not receiving parochial relief. A member of the family of Pen Derwi bequeathed £20, directing the interest to be distributed among the poor of the hamlet of Upper Pen Derwi, Mrs. Mary Rogers bequeathed the sum of £ 393. 12.6., of which the interest is to be appropriated in clothing six poor men and six poor women, to the amount of £ 1 each, the residue to be given to the vicar of the parish; and Thomas Popkin, Sen., Esq., left £7. 10. per annum, charged on a tenement called Havod, in the parish of Bettws, in the county of Carmarthen, for distribution among the poor of Llangyvelach.
Penllergare, near the western confines of the parish, is the only place besides Loughor having any claim to be regarded as the site of the Roman station Leucarum ; and this consists partly in its name, which may be translated "the camp summit," and partly in the discovery of fragments of ancient walls, in a situation likely to have been chosen by the Romans for a military post.
The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor of the several hamlets of this extensive parish is £ 1406. 16."

Divorce and the Great Happiness Hoax
Today Penelope Trunk published a controversial blog post titled "Divorce is immature and selfish. Don't do it."
Her primary argument is that if you have children, in almost all situations you need to figure out how to stick it out. Divorce is absolutely terrible for children, and it's often solvable. It's immature, and it's selfish.
Her argument about divorce fits perfectly into my happiness hoax theory. The Happiness Hoax is the idea that the entire world is trying to sell happiness, which only perpetuates the idea that happiness is something that some people have and other people don't.
This is an enormous load of shit.
It's an equally enormous load of shit that some people have perfect marriages and ending yours so that you can "find the love you deserve" is an adult decision.
#1 – It is easier to be a victim than it is to take responsibility for your own happiness.
Everyone loves to be a victim. Everyone loves to bitch. It's easier to be tired than to be energized, to be poor than to be rich, to be fat than to be thin. People are also brilliant at rationalizing, and it's amazing the excuses we can come up with to allow ourselves to stay in these places.
"The trick is not how much pain you feel–but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses." – Erica Jong
#2 – Happiness is a conscious choice that takes an enormous amount of work
Aside from clinical depression, where there is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain (something I experience every month with PMDD, so I understand), happiness is something that you can decide to have.
How? You replace frustration with gratitude. You choose to be motivated by abundance and possibility instead of fear. You choose to see the beauty in your life and circumstances rather than focus on the gaps, the holes, and the inconveniences. You start seeing your problems for exactly what they are – first world problems. Realities. The universe isn't conspiring against you, and if you get off your ass and work hard and make good decisions then good things will start to happen. I promise.
I already said the alternative is easier, so making these choices will take physical effort and consistent determination. If you don't want to work, then don't expect to be happy.
#3 – Marriage isn't dating. It's a lifelong commitment, and you need to be an adult about it.
First of all, people make horrible decisions about who to marry.
Before marriage, you need to be sure you're making a good decision. In my opinion, you need to live together (yes, I know about the cohabitation effect, but I still argue for it). You need to sleep together. You need to experience things together. You need to know each other inside and out, emotionally and intellectually, sexually and non-sexually, good days and bad days. You need to talk about things. You need to talk about the things that are embarrassing and uncomfortable to talk about – like whether or not you believe in spanking children, or how much money you envision a successful future having in it. Is your dream home $100,000 or $1,000,000? Will you be angry if you can't be a stay at home mom? How much does sex matter to you?
There was a great moment in Dan Savage's advice column, Savage Love, where a guy wrote in about the whole sex after marriage issue. He was a man that considered himself semi-adventurous sexually, but he married a woman who claimed she didn't want to do certain things (i.e. most sexual things) until there was a ring on her finger, and now that there was she had lost interest in sex almost altogether. He felt duped. She got her ring. Sex wasn't happening.
Here, according to Dan (a brilliant, brilliant man), were the guy's options:
"Stay married, stay faithful, and stew in your own frustration and resentment until you die; stay married, cheat with cause, and hope you don't get caught; inform your spouse that you're not going to ask her to do things she's not comfortable with but you're also not going to ask for her permission to do those things with other women, and be cast as the villain when she files for divorce; or initiate the divorce yourself, find a new partner, and make sure your new partner both enjoys sex and enjoys the kinds of sex you do before you marry her. (Hint: if she likes sex, and likes the stuff you like, she'll want to do that stuff whether you're married to her or not.)"
I recognize that my ideas on pre-marital relationships aren't condoned by the Bible and the 50′s. Do you know what else isn't condoned by the Bible or the 50′s? Divorce. So, when divorce is on the table, then so does figuring out what you're getting into beforehand. Unlike Jesus's time, we have the internet. We have access to every ex, to tons of weird-ass fetish porn, a thousand dating options at any given time, and life expectancies that are three times as long. Till death do us part is suddenly a much bigger decision. In this world, I think you sure as hell better test drive that car before you buy it.
So, the number one thing about being an adult about marriage is that realizing marriage isn't going to change anything. The person you're marrying is the person you're with, and if you think a band around the finger is suddenly going to make them a freak in the sheets you're bound to be disappointed. This is what dating is for. I do not understand people who get married and then want a divorce because their spouse is "lazy" or their spouse in "inattentive." Where were you during the dating process? That is the time to be a critic. That's the time to jump ship because you're unsatisfied. Once you go through the bells and whistles of a wedding, it's time to start a family. It's time to stop being a child, fueled by selfishness and instant gratification, and bone up the realities of making something work.
#4 – There's no such thing as buying happiness, and there's no one in this world who is going to be your perfect spouse
I have witnessed a really, really happy marriage. My parents are the happiest couple I've ever seen, and they have been my whole life. They eat lunch together. They work together. They are best friends. They laugh hysterically and go on dates all the time. I think they love having me and my brother out of the house. They miss us, but they love getting to just be them again. As dorky as this sounds, I've always been a big family person and I used to feel left out because the two of them were so close and I wanted to be in on it. They couldn't love me more, but they're partners and that's the way it's always been.
Are they perfect? Far from it. News flash: They work their butts off to stay in love. They are just as proactive about "dating" as they are about being married. They're as conscious about their time together, and make as much of an effort to stay connected, as Chase and I – who have been together for 10 months and don't even live together. Yeah, we're in that first year, so of course we work hard to learn each other and be close and kind… but after 30 years? Who does that after 30 years? My parents. They bite their tongues instead of talking down to each other. They apologize when one of them snaps. They get lunch together and have special ringtones and check in with one another. They support each other's hobbies and both keep themselves up physically so that they can be proud of each other.
The Psychology Today article, Are You With the Right Mate, shared this anecdote:
"(A man) attended an anniversary party for friends who had been together 25 years. When someone commented on the longevity of the relationship, the husband replied: "Every morning I wake up, splash cold water on my face, and say out loud, 'Well, you're no prize either.'" While you're busy being disillusioned with your partner, you'll do better with a substantial dose of humility."
#5 – Get over yourself. Find what's wonderful in your life and get high on it. Love the one you're with – because if you're lucky enough to find someone that loves you, you sure as hell better cherish every moment of it.
I work my ass off to be happy. I work my ass of to love and be lovable. I work my ass off to be proactive in my relationship so that I, and we, become a team. I work my ass off to learn who I am and what I need so that when I get married it won't be a mistake. I know that now is the time for mistakes and learning the ropes – not after I say "I do."
I set boundaries with myself.
I work my ass off to not be fat and still enjoy great food. I work my ass off to build a career that I adore because I choose to make the most of my one life here. These are my choices. And guess what? I'm happy. That's not bragging, that's a fact. You couldn't get me to leave my job, move away from my family, or cheat on my boyfriend for a million dollars. I work my ass off and it pays off, because I've found happiness. That, to me, is something I work for and can boast as much as any medal. It's not bragging, it's a feat. Your choices are your own. But if you choose to be happy, I'm here for you every step of the way.

Hi Jen,
Wow your blog is AMAZING! You are such a fantastic writer!
Im have to politely disagree with you on some things, and just want to share my opinion. Im mostly looking at the paragraph where you talk about you need to live together, you need to sleep together, you need to experience things, and so on. If you say that then whats the point of marriage? You say that you should test a car before you buy it, thats fine, but this sounds more like completely trying to understand the manual, knowing how to change the wiper blades, knowing which side the gas tank is on and basically living from the car. You will pour too much of yourself into each non-successful relationship and that leaves nothing special about marriage, other than changing the last name, having a couple rings and a tax break.
And the thing about people is, we are constantly changing. You will never completely know your partner. Ever. The thing you need to do is decide to fully commit. Love them no matter what. That means being unselfish.
And another thing ive found very helpful (actually probably the most helpful thing ever) is having other people involved in your relationship. Not just your friends. People who are older and wiser than you. People you want to be like someday. People that you genuinely trust. People that you can say, hey I need your help with making my relationship successful like yours is and I give you permission to tell me what to do and I will do it no matter what. There are very wise people out there who have successful marriages and would love to help and guide yours to the right place. And when things are going wrong, you always have someone to talk to, to work through problems with. Someone who can bring sense to misunderstandings or whatever else is going on.
I could probably go on and on about having a healthy and successful relationship, because Ive been through a lot, and have somehow managed to do a lot of things right. I have 2 great couples that can talk to either of us about anything and we will never lie to them. We trust them and they trust us. We dont live together, nor do we sleep together, because we both see that as something very special that we want to save for each other (even though years back we both have had adventurous relationships). We dont just wait because we dont want to (trust me…), we do it because there is a lot of value in sharing yourself intimately with someone and we want to save that for when we are made one through the vows of marriage. It causes us to love in other ways first, which is where we really get to learn about each other.
Just some things to maybe think about. Our culture now seems to be just a bunch of people who dont know who they really are, are selfish and mostly just seeking personal pleasure, and are terrified of responsibility and commitment. I'll stop rambling now. Just had to get a few thoughts off my chest. Goodnight.
Honestly if u desire a sex life with someone, after getting married to someone, and they don't meet your need i can guarantee you that you going to inevitably become less happy ad less happy about it. In most men's cases it'll lead to cheating. Statistic's show that men cheat more after marriage than women do only based on the fact that they aren't satisfied. funny thing is is that they share the christian ideal. I love god and i know i fail him in having sex before marriage, but if i didn't i know know it would inevitably lead to divorce and believe the same would happen to you regardless to you noble ideals. Trust me the author completely correct in this.
I totally agree! Happiness is your own responsibility and about your own mind set. Marriage is hard and it takes a lot of work. There's no such thing as a prince on shining armor. You make a choice to work on your marriage and make it work to the happiness of both individuals.
great post!
Jennie Jackson recently posted..Born a Jew, Raised Christian with a Brother who was Born Muslim, and in the End I Became Buddhist
this is so good! I think most divorces can be prevented. About 2/3 of divorces occur in marriages where the satisfaction with the marriage is fairly good, no bad conflict, but one person wants to "grow" or thinks they can find someone like a soul mate. So the kids are trashed while this immature person is seeking something they are very unlikely to find–a great relationship that does not take a lot of work. I really agree with this writer.
LOVE this one! I know I say that about every post, but I agree with every word you said! ESPECIALLY about test driving the car before you buy it! You said people need to realize "marriage isn't going to change anything. The person you're marrying is the person you're with." Some people want to 'save' certain things for marriage and I think that's silly. I want to marry someone for who they are, not the potential of who they might be after a party with all our friends. Like you said and I believe, marriage is about starting a life together, not a date on a calendar.
To Anonymous above. Yes people change, but usually they don't fundamentally change, and if your married, and constantly working on that marriage, chances are you will change together, as a couple.
I also disagree with you that others need to be involved in your relationship. I think it is wise to get an outside perspective and learn from other couples. I think it does help keep you in check and give you ideas and examples you may not have thought of; but ultimately, YOU are the only person who knows whats going on in the relationship. You are the only person who can make the right decision for your relationship.
I also love #5. NEVER take for granted the fact that someone loves you because they DO NOT have to.
[...] I wanted to share her argument and add to it all at once. So that's what I did, and the post Divorce and the Great Happiness Hoax was posted a few hours [...]
What a great post! I agree with you. It takes work. That's exactly what our blog is all about too…
elizabeth recently posted..The over-apology
I want to agree with Penelope. What she says makes great sense & sounds ideal. But having come from two marriages (the first violent, wherein he only married me cuz I got preggers, & then proceeded to remind me that he never loved me on a daily basis; & the second emotionally void because I was too needy to see through the charming BS that covered an emotionally empty shell of a man), I can honestly say I'm happy now where I am. I finally ended up with my best friend, & we've been together for five very happy years. He is raising my children & they both adore him & call him "dad". So as much as I WANT to agree, I can't.
I was so steamed over this article that I ended up writing a response on my blog. If you would care to check it out here is the link: http://www.theworld4realz.com/2012/03/01/daggone-you-penelope-trunk/
You make a lot of great points in this post, as with many of your others. While I agree with many of the points that you and Penelope argue regarding divorce, I must say that making such absolute declarations about divorce always being the wrong choice seems to be a very limited point of view. As a child of divorced parents, I can attest that I rejoiced when my mother finally, after multiple attempts, left my dad (largely due to my own encouragement). I am not a quitter and I believe in trying to make things work when you've made a commitment. That being said, some relationships are far too toxic and unhealthy to continue fighting for, particularly if both parties are not making that effort to relfect and change their harmful patterns. I firmly believe that the instability that I experienced in my childhood for over 10 years as a result of my parents staying together has resulted in greater psychological damage for me than if they had gone their separate ways. Should my parents have even gotten married to begin with? Probably not, but people make mistakes. Sometimes you have to know when to decide not to commit to your mistakes and move on.
[...] write on MsMorphosis about my opinions on sex, marriage, and my body. I'm often terrified, because sometimes people pay attention. Penelope is far [...]
Marriage is really, really hard. It sounds like you've had an awesome example to look up to, and also like you are doing a really good job of knowing yourself and making sure you're sure before you commit to your guy. I think that's so wise and will really help. Don't do anything unreflectively! :)
I'd like to hear you write back on this topic again (keeping marriage together) once you have been married a few years. Life is unpredictable, and people do change in ways we can't predict (it's truly not all out there for us to perceive! ) It also seems to me that there are parts of us that unfold that we don't expect either, even if we are people who work hard to understand ourselves. (I could be biased in my perception of this, as I married young, and without full attention to all visible issues. But some arose later!) Sometimes these forces can conspire to create a seemingly unworkable situation. Hard work has it's limits, too, commendable as it may be. Sometimes your hard work on the relationship seems to push the other person away. :( It is likely that none of these dynamics will be present in your marriage. I'll still look forward to hearing your insights from inside the phenomenon!
Thanks for your posts and all the topics you tackle. Your posts are thought-provoking, and your approach to life invigorating and inspiring!
I agree with so much of the article. I've been married for eleven years and we did live together during our engagement. Living together was good for us, but we would have still gotten married regardless. The truth is that you really can't completely know your partner until you've been married with children. Kids change the dynamic of the relationship and for us, this has been a very difficult stage. Nothing is equal, nothing is fair and at times we both feel neglected and resentful toward one another. If our relationship was this way before kids, I would have walked away in a heartbeat. Now that we're parents, I absolutely put the kids first. Being a grown up is hard and not always pleasant, but its what I have to do for the kids. I don't think any "soulmate" on the planet could make real life easier. Easy is lazy. Dealing with the downs of marriage is hard work and it doesn't make me feel super happy, but that's life isn't it. If you think ,marriage is a big commitment, try having kids. That, my friend, is a serious commitment.

Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
By John Rockhold
bailout, General Motors, Chrysler, auto bailout
According to a new poll from the Pew Research Center, 63 percent of Americans disapprove of the government giving billions of dollars in loans to Chrysler and General Motors in order to keep the struggling automakers afloat.
Currently, officials from the Obama administration are reviewing the automakers plans for restructuring (aka downsizing and going green). So you can expect a lot more about the auto bailout to be in the news in the coming weeks.
As much as I think the domestic automakers are largely responsible for their dramatic decline, I worry about the everyday Joes and Janes who will be affected if any or all of the domestic automakers go under. It's also ironic that as AIG hands out $100 billion in bonuses (paid for from the bailout funded by our taxes), it seems there's a tough road ahead for the automakers to get any more than the $20-some billion bailout. In the end, I think the Big Three (Chrysler, Ford or General Motors) are going to become two, maybe even one, in order to survive.
Does anybody really know the difference anymore between $100 billion and $200 billion?
What do you think? Should our tax dollars keep Chrysler and General Motors alive? Are they victims of the times? Or have they dug their own graves through bad management, focusing on SUVs despite all the writing on the wall about higher gas prices, etc.? Will you ever again buy a car from Chrysler, Ford or General Motors?
Share your thoughts by posting a comment below.
Update, 3/27/2009
This just in from The New York Times:
The Obama administration is likely to extend more short-term aid to General Motors and Chrysler on Monday, but impose a strict deadline for bondholders and union workers to make concessions that would help the ailing automakers become viable businesses and avert bankruptcy.
For more information, read U.S. Expected to Give More Aid to Automakers.
Update, 3/30/2009
From The New York Times:
The White House on Sunday pushed out the chairman of General Motors and instructed Chrysler to form a partnership with the Italian automaker Fiat within 30 days as conditions for receiving another much-needed round of government aid.
The decision to ask GM's chairman and chief executive, Rick Wagoner, to resign caught Detroit and Washington by surprise, and it underscored the Obama administration's determination to take a hands-on role in the companies it is bailing out — a level of government involvement in business not seen since the Great Depression.
President Obama is scheduled to announce details of the auto package at the White House on Monday, but two senior officials, offering a preview on condition of anonymity, made clear that some form of bankruptcy — a quick, court-supervised restructuring, as they described it — could still be an option for one or both companies.

Party Scene:
Clubs Are Great – London has some of the best clubs in the world. There is never a shortage of places to go out.
Party Scene:
It's London – London is a fantastic city to party in. There are a wide variety of clubs all around town and a pub on every corner. The Student Union parties are great but after first year students go more off campus and find good places.
Party Scene:
London Offers More – In comparison to the clubs and bars in London, the LSE does not measure up. But also, for that exact reason LSE does not need to.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The nightlife at LSE is not much to speak of. The Students' Union organizes all of the social events, which typically take place at the student bar on campus. The main party, called "Crush," happens every Friday. This party is a big deal for freshmen, especially during the first few weeks of school, but it's usually not attended by many upperclassmen. On Wednesday nights, the Athletics Union also has a party that is attended by students who are members of some team on campus—which is most students. Aside from these two events, there are various other parties organized by different clubs which only members of the club tend to go to.
Luckily, the nightlife in London itself is fantastic. There is a pub on almost every street and great clubs all around town. The pubs are more or less the same in terms of the drinks and food they serve, but the clubs vary greatly in both exclusivity and price. There are some clubs that cost £20 to get into and then £20 for every drink. Needless to say, these clubs are usually not frequented by the typical LSE student who is very conscious of spending money. One thing is for certain, however: If you and your friends want to go out on the town, whether it is just to grab a few beers or stay out to all hours of the morning, there is no shortage of places to go.

Bass music is in rude health in 2011. Dubstep and drum and bass continue their meteoric rise to the top of the charts thanks to the talent of emerging artists like Modestep and Skrillex as well as the continuing brilliance of more established artists like Fresh, Foreign beggars and Chase & Status.

In a chat with ET Now, Rajat Bose, rajatkbose.com, shares his views on HDFC Bank.
ET Now: HDFC Bank, would you short that counter?
Rajat Bose: I wanted to sell HDFC Bank with a stop of above say 526.75 but I was expecting it to sell at a minor rally. It appears that the stock is showing further weakness and probably it would hit the 517-513 targets in the trading. The stock was enjoying its premium valuation for quite sometime. Now, it seems that people are taking a dim view about it and selling off. I expect market to rally sometime in mid session, so it may not fall much. On the other hand, the index may move up a bit.

Have you been searching for a real estate expert in Del Ray, Rosemont or other coveted Alexandria, Virginia, neighborhoods?
Buying or selling. It's not an easy decision, especially in this market. Has it tanked? Is the iron hot, so now's the time to strike? Twenty-five years of being an Alexandria resident- and eleven of those being a Realtor through the peaks and valleys of the market- have afforded me an expertise in this area that not many agents can claim. And, frankly, it's an edge I enjoy equipping my clients with.
It's not about chest-pounding. It's about you and your investment . . . whether you're buying, selling, or just interested in what's out there. If that means something to you, then we should talk. No smoke, mirrors or empty promises; just hard, hands-on work to make your wishes a reality. 'Reality' being the operative word. I'm going to be scorchingly frank with you from the get-go about what we can make happen. Period.
My specialty and expertise is in Alexandria, Virginia, real estate; especially the incredible neighborhoods of Del Ray, Rosemont, Braddock Heights, Beverly Hills and Kingstowne, as well as Arlington. Moreover, I can help you buy and sell properties throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. And, if you're moving out of the city, I can refer you to a top-notch associate at Weichert, Realtors who can help you every step of the way.
Enjoy the site and use it as a tool for research and learning. You can get as granular as you like in receiving community information and real time market reports, as well as searching what properties are out there. When you're ready, get in touch. I look forward to advocating and working for, and with, you!

Giving your beard a hot oil treatment is easy! Hot oil treatments are excellent for softening course hair, repairing split ends, and conditioning dry, brittle hair. Keeping your facial hair conditioned is necessary to prevent breakage. Below we'll walk you through a few simple steps to give yourself a hot oil treatment at home using The Mod Cabin Beard Oils.
- Begin by pouring a dime sized amount of beard oil into your palm. Rub the oil into your beard, making sure to coat your beard thoroughly from roots to tips.
- Set a large bowl of hot water near the chair where you plan to give yourself the treatment. Test the water to make sure it's not too hot.
- Wet a hand towel with the hottest water that you can safely tolerate and wring it out.
- Lay back in your chair and wrap the hot towel around your beard.
- When your towel cools dip it in the bowl of hot water, wring it out, and re-wrap your beard with the towel.
- Repeat this process for about 30 minutes.
- Use the towel to wipe away any excess oil when you're finished.
- Give your beard a final rinse with cold water so the hair follicles contract. This adds shine and helps seal in moisture.
Give yourself a hot oil treatment when you notice your beard is looking a little dry or wiry, but you usually won't need to do this more than once a week.

Why is health insurance such a mess?
You need health insurance. You looked online, and even requested quotes. What you read online didn't make sense, and the online brokers who called didn't answer your questions. What a mess! Here is what you're up against:
Hidden Agendas
Online brokers who only make money if you buy their plan, and make more money the more you spend on insurance premiums.
So Many Options
It's not just private market options, but government and employer options, too. It may be best to have different plans for different family members.
No One Knows
Brokers know private market options. HR knows their employer options. Government workers know those options. No one analyzes it all.
Constant Change
Every year, rates go up, benefits change, and they seem to re-write the rules. How are you expected to spend the time to keep up with it all?
Choose a better way with Bernard Health
We give you a better way. It starts with our team of advisors who you can visit at one of our healthcare retail stores. They are not paid based on you buying an insurance product. With us you get:
No Hidden Agendas
Our mission is to be your most trusted advisor. To do this, we make and keep promises related to saving you time and money on health insurance. That is our only agenda.
Analysis of all Options
There are hundreds of options. We can analyze them all, saving you a lot of time. Then, we give you the best recommendation, often saving you a lot of money.
It's Our Job to Know
We can make it our responsibility to understand your options for you. We won't push you off to someone else to make you spend your time figuring it out.
A Trusted Advisor
The health insurance industry will keep changing. With us, though, you don't have to worry about it as much because you have a trusted advisor on your side.

PORTLAND — A woman escaped with minor injuries after her car was demolished after being struck by a tractor trailer this morning.
Frederick Smith of Kennebunk, who was driving the tractor trailer which is owned by Branch Brook Transportation of Arundel, told police that he was blinded by the sun before his truck crashed into the back of a Toyota. The impact then forced the car into a pickup truck.
The truck was hauling gasoline at the time of the accident.
The crash took place at approximately 8 a.m. on the turnpike spur near Main Street in South Portland.
Smith was uninjured and police say the driver of the Toyota suffered minor injuries. Smith was not cited by police.

At long last! Donia Samir Ghanem's giving us her album release
After eight months of delays, and releasing seven songs as singles on YouTube, the production company "Roznama Records" has at long last launched the first album by Egyptian actress and singer Donia Samir Ghanem. The album was initially scheduled for release during the summer of last year, but Egypt's political instability as well as production problems pushed back the timeline extensively.
According to the Middle East news portal Elaph, the album that took two years to complete will bring Donia out of her isolation, which she placed herself in after signs of her pregnancy began appearing. Donia will be holding a press conference in Egypt to announce the launch and discuss its deets.
The songs that were previously released on YouTube were a major hit and were downloaded by hundreds of thousands of eager fans.
Since getting pregnant with her journalist hubby Rami Radwan, Donia has stayed on the down low, deferring from making any public appearance and turning down all other work offers.
Fortunately, we'll be seeing her face again next to that of Ahmad Makky on this Ramadan's "Al Kabir Awi" (The Strong One).

Dahoui, M, Lavanant, L, Rabier, F, Auligne, T (2005). Use of the MODIS imager to help deal with AIRS cloudy radiances. QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY, 131(610), 2559-2579.
AbstractThe assimilation of the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) data is expected to improve the quality of NWP products. Currently, operational use of such data is limited to the cloud-free pixels or to the channels far above the clouds for cloudy pixels. This paper focuses on the validation of various cloud-detection schemes applied to AIRS data. The clouds are detected and characterized, in cloud-top and cover, by using the NESDIS, ECMWF, CO2-slicing and MLEV schemes. These four different AIRS cloud descriptions are evaluated by independent information retrieved with the Meteo-France cloud mask applied to MODIS data and taken as our reference. The validation for a ten-day period over the North-cast Atlantic is presented. The use of satellite cloudy radiances is a great challenge for numerical weather prediction. Work is in progress to assimilate such data by using enhanced observation operators dealing with clouds. In this work. we try to contribute to this effort by investigating the linearity assumption of an observation operator, with a simple diagnostic cloud scheme, for different cloud types.

Keeper blunder proves costly for Lechia by omnisport-gr
It is said that goalkeepers are a rare breed.
Often, they mix an introverted nature with a penchant for exhibitionism - and that can lead to some rather bizarre goings on.
And, well, what can we say about the above video from Poland?
Richard Zajac, of Podbeskidzie, looked to have the situation under control as the ball was played back to him.
Even with a striker bearing down on him, the keeper appeared to retain that calm.
Alas, for his team, he was too calm as he gingerly attempted to lift the ball over said striker but clipped the ball square in the player's face.
The result? One of the most bizarre goals you are ever likely to see, and, of course, a 1-0 win for Lechia Gdansk.

My little dude eats all day long too. He freaks if we won't give him the 'bag' of whatever - cereal, crackers, nuts....

He's in the 82nd percentile for weight, too.

Not having any experience with boys, I'm going to assume that this is how they operate.

It doesn't get any better when they get to nearly 18 either. My son hasn't stopped eating in the last 7 years, yet he's not got an ounce of fat on him. It really isn't fair! I've given up asking him if he's hungry or even how hungry is he. I just have to pile up his plate and keep the fruit bowl stocked. And somehow he manages to keep his beard free of crumbs too.

oh I feel your pain! I have 2 boys (6 and 4.5) and those 2 are constantly eating. My oldest polished off half a medium pizza Saturday night. And when that boy comes home from school everyday he snacks for a good hour until I have to cut him off.

My husband and I joke that we'll start losing weight because we wont' get any food once they are a little older.

On the day I feel compelled to complain that my son eats TOO MUCH food -- should such a glorious day ever come -- I imagine the heavens will open and angelic choirs will weep with melodious joy.

Of course, I used to say that about the day I would feel compelled to complain that he wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. And wouldn't you know, once he started making himself late to school with the sleeping in, I forgot to be thrilled . . .

What is it with kids and their total lack of moderation, anyway?

Really? So this is normal? I have a 3.5 yr old, but I so understand. He eats breakfast and on the way to drop off his sister he is hungry. Begging for snacks? And it is non-stop for the rest of the day. And like you I thought he was bored or just wanted junk. I figured once I started offering him fruit,yogurt, applesauce, etc he would turn them down. Nope, he keeps right on eating. I started buying in bulk, because there is no way I am making more than one trip to the grocery store a week with 3 kids.

 I thought I was smart and told my husband to give him protein for breakfast. I figured that would fill him up. Nope, I am really scared for our grocery budget. I may have to get a job just to feed the boy.

I used to pour some raspberry vinaigrette over a can of green beans, then put them in a bowl on the high chair... while I cooked dinner. That was his appetizer (a word he learned at age 2). He has eaten more than I do since his first meal of adult foods. He's only five and I know that I should be saving up for his teen years already. Maybe stock in Kroger?

My older son is 4, and is constantly growing. However, since he has such severe texture issues, he only eats about 7 things. One of those is Tyson Chicken Nuggets (from the box, not from the bag, because the breading is different and only Tyson). We go through about 6 boxes of nuggets PER WEEK. We spend about $70 per month, just on nuggets. Can't wait until he gets older!

My husband said when he was a teenager, he never actually got full. He would just get nervous about the amount of food he had just eaten. He and his roommate in college would order 3 large pizzas (3 for $10 deal back in the day)... and have that for dinner on Friday nights.

My five-year-old girl is the same way. She asks for a snack literally minutes after finishing a meal...and I mean finishing, as in scraping the plate clean. She is a tall, skinny, beanpole of the thing with some kind of super crazy metabolism that leaves her constantly wanting more. (More cheez-its! Another apple! More Craisins! and so on...) The worst is that witching hour as I am preparing dinner and she is STARVING. The "cat in the alley" howling of hunger that comes from her mouth in a constant stream is enough to make me stick my head in the oven. In which case...she might slap on some ketchup and dig in.

They wake up at 6:30am asking for food then go off to school to eat breakfast, followed by schol lunch at 11:30, then home for a snack at 12, then nap followed by another lunch/snack, and other snack, and then dinner followed by yet dessert and another snack!

Yes, I'm considering joining the church of Costco because we could single handedly keep the frozen waffle, cereal, applesauce, yogurt, and Ramen companies in business with our 2 young boys.

The Weekly Wraparound: September 23
Editors' note: "The Weekly Wraparound" is an editorial roundup of links to the week's best design stories, posted every Friday by the editorial staff of AIGA.org. For recommendations all week long, follow us on Twitter at @AIGAdesign.
Well, summer is officially over (happy equinox!) and fall is here, quite literally, as CNN reports that chunks of a satellite may be plummeting toward Earth. Better catch up quickly on our top design stories of the week:
On Design Envy, Tali Krakowsky, founder of the LA-based experience design firm Apologue and former director of experience design at Imaginary Forces and WET Design, curated a week of exciting—and sometimes bizarre (see the bikini that doubles as a USB port)—selections showing how digital and physical spaces are merging. What do you think of her picks? Are you seeing green too? Cast your vote and let us know! The most popular designs will become part of a special collection in the AIGA Design Archives.
IDEO.org, a branch of design and innovation firm IDEO, announced its first class of fellows. This group will work on human-centered design solutions to global problems like poverty, hunger and gender inequality. Learn more about the fellows and their first three projects on Core77.
Facebook's rejiggered feeds caused quite a stir this week. In place of the two-option news feed allowing you to select either "Most Recent" or "Top Stories," now only "Top Stories"—as determined by Facebook's algorithms—appear in the news feed, and real-time updates show up in a smaller column, the ticker, to the right. Summing up the public reaction is the most-liked comment on Facebook's blog post about these changes: "Quite frankly I don't want Facebook deciding who is most important in my life." Users should brace themselves for more changes, which Facebook announced at its f8 developer conference yesterday. For more on what's in store, see Wired's comprehensive report. Also, Technology Review speculates on the design mind behind these developments, quoting a previous interview with designer Nicholas Felton, who, along with his Daytum partner Ryan Case, went to work for Facebook earlier this year.
Chris Dixon, design director of New York magazine, is moving to Vanity Fair. As reported on Mediabistro's FishbowlNY blog: "Dixon has been with New York since 2004, and almost instantly brought the magazine recognition for the changes he implemented." For instance, since its 2004 redesign and relaunch the magazine has won more National Magazine Awards than any other publication. Now that's effective design.
Update: Last week we noted the release of Fast Company's 2011 Design Issue, which included an infographic on the 50 most influential designers. This week, in a reaction to that list published on Co.Design, Emily Pilloton of Studio H and Dawn Hancock of Firebelly posed a very important question: Where's the social design?
To web or not to web? It would seem that learning how to design for the web would be a given by now, but not all designers are in agreement. Jon Tan writes in his blog post "We, Who Are Web Designers" that it has taken until now for the public to understand and appreciate what he does for a living—as the web has grown, so has respect for web designers. He declares that now, "This is our party." On the flip side, Timothy Goodman explains how not designing for the web has actually served his career well. In "An Open Letter to Graphic Design Students: Don't Follow the Web, Follow Your Heart," he advises developing better writing and drawing skills, and listening to your own calling, whether it's online or off. What do you think? (For more student-focused advice, see also Josh Berta's recent "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Design School?")
Since AIGA launched its first-ever competition of case studies ("Making the Case") this year, and we continually encourage designers to not just show what they do but explain it too, we were excited to read Jeff Gothelf's "Demystifying Design" on A List Apart this week. He argues that designers need to "open the kimono," so to speak, so that colleagues and clients will understand what designers do. He writes, "Design is popularly being hailed as the savior of many businesses yet many people don't really know what design involves." Only through transparency will "we increase the value of our practice and of ourselves as practitioners." Where do you stand? Do you think designers lose their power or gain it by revealing their processes?
Anything noteworthy that we missed? Share it in the comments.

Was this review useful?
Essentially a toned down Simcity 4
SimCity Societies is a simple city-building game made by Tilted Mill Entertainment (not EA). The game is very simple - have your city survive and thrive. It features many new cool features, although compared to the other games in the franchise it is much much easier. As for content, it's about as safe as you get with a game like this. You can set up dive bars, and people wander around visibly drunk (and, to my horror, loudly vomit), and pickpocketing happens. With crime in the city, you can sit down a police department and send out the SWAT. Nice. Aside from that, it's a great game, great for kids (guess I'm not one to be talking here) and I'd suggest it to a lot of people.
What other families should know
Too much violence
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking
Common Sense Needs To learn To Zoom
It's actually pretty easy to zoom in on the fights and drunks. But the fights are hidden in a cloud of dust, and you want to get rid of the crooks since they have negative effects on your city. Also drunk sims will not drive and walk funny making it slightly disgorging to get yourself drunk.I think it's okay. The pros is where you have different themes (such as romantic to cyber punk) and have the ability to attract tourist. The cons is that it can get old pretty fast and the way jobs and money making is done is very unrealistic.

I may have mentioned the Irish Web Awards before. They're in Dublin on October 11th. A Web awards based on the structure of the Blog Awards (free nominations, all nominations are judged etc.) and since this is an Awards not about the sponsors but those taking part I'd like to get the feedback of the public on how they think a website should be judged. I've asked a few folk privately about what the think the criteria should be for judging websites but I want as many opinions as possible. The feedback here will shape what the criteria for the judges of the Web Awards will be.
There's all the usual ideas of marks for functionality, design, utility and so forth. I was wondering should there be any mandatory criteria for a website to get nominated such as HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 compliant but some have pointed out that many sites that are full of browser hacks to get them to look nice will probably not validate but extra marks should perhaps be given if they look well in many browsers AND validate.
So should there be points out of 10 for the basics like design, utility, functionality and then extra marks for usability, conformance to WAI WCAG AA, HTML 4.01 compliance?
I do of course understand that there will never be full agreement on the criteria so will try and make it fair and balanced. But not the Fox news style of fair and balanced.

BL6 Wall Sconce - Matte Gray/Brass
Bestlite lamps are steeped in a triumphant design history. Robert Dudley Best drew the first drafts of the lamp that would later become synonymous with his name when he studied to become an industrial designer in Paris and Dusseldorf. As the lamp was the first example of Bauhaus in the UK, strong arguments were needed before the lamp could be put into production. The lamp was produced by the manufacturing firm Best & Lloyd, founded by Best's family in 1840. After mention in the prominent architectural magazine, Architects' Journal, the architectural community opened its eyes to the lamp's potential. Bestlite gained everlasting fame when Winston Churchill placed one on his desk in Whitehall.
The BL6 wall sconce combines the original Bauhaus inspiration with a modern, sleek design - perfect for beside a favorite reading chair. Or, in an homage to Churchill, behind your desk.

Airplane Blankets: Nasty or Not?
The announcements from JetBlue and US Airways last week regarding airplane blankets — JetBlue is charging $7 for a blanket-and-pillow pack, and US Airways is weighing a similar move — provoked a mixed response from some of Middle Seaters. Some cried foul over what they saw as the slapping-on of yet another airline fee. Others seemed sympathetic to the plight of airlines, wondering aloud why people seem to be so attached to free, "nasty pillows and blankets," as one reader piquantly put it.
In our quest to bring you the hardest-hitting travel journalism anywhere on the Web, we boldly asked: Just how nasty are those blankets and pillows?
In an email, airline industry consultant Mike Boyd told the Terminal, "there are no standards for cleaning pillows and blankets. Each airline rotates them based on cabin service maintenance schedules." Last year a WSJ story from Darren Everson shed a bit of light on the issue, writing that the now-shuttered carrier ATA Airlines, "says that blankets are cleaned every 30 days and as needed. US Airways says that its blankets are washed at least every five days regardless of condition. American replaces its pillow cases during its overnight cleaning and removes soiled or damaged blankets."
Speaking to the Terminal about the company's new blanket-and-pillow kits, JetBlue spokeswoman Jenny Dervin said the airline had long considered replacing free blankets with kits, but mainly out of a dedication to cleanliness, not revenue. She stressed that plans to yank the free blankets go back at least a couple years — long before the spike in fuel prices prompted the industry to seek new revenue streams and assess myriad fees. Before the airline tweaked to its pillow and blanket policy — JetBlue pulled them from short-hop flights starting in 2006 — "the pillow and the blanket could be on that flight for four to six flights before being replaced."
The prospect of sharing a blanket with a half-dozen mystery passengers from across the country might make some travelers itch uncontrollably. But I'm pretty good at deluding myself; in fact, up 'til now, I have been a serial airplane-blankie user.
That might change, however, based on some of the details Boyd offered to the Terminal, citing an article he wrote a few years back on pillows, blankets and the storage bins where they're usually kept.
"Think about it," he wrote. "What's stored in those overhead baggage bins? For the benefit of any Wharton professors out there, we'll give the answer. It's, yes, baggage. Next clue: What are the dominant types of baggage today? That's right: roller bags that passengers pull around on their little wheels. So, think about where those little wheels have been. Across the floor of the parking garage – maybe the ones that are homes to flocks of, say, pigeons."
So, frugal fliers, how does that $7 sound now?

Bookfandoms.com is a website for book fangirls and fanboys alike (known around here as fanpeople).
Whether you're a Hunger Games, Paper Towns, or Divergent fanboy, or a Lord of the Rings, The Vampire Diaries, or Looking for Alaska fangirl, you'll fit in perfectly here. Because we understand. We get it: the loyalty, the enthusiasm (which some view as partial insanity, but psh, whatever), the sleepless nights (because just . . . one . . . more . . . chapter) and the side-eyeing you most likely receive on a daily basis from concerned family and friends. (There is nothing wrong with camping out at the premiere of your favorite book-turned-movie . . . a week beforehand. Without food. Or water. Or basic human necessities, like a bathroom. Because Ansel Elgort. And because Jennifer Lawrence. And because Theo James. And Kristen Stewart. . . .)
What Bookfandoms.com posts about:
We share news about film and television adaptations of our favorite books (mostly young adult, but sometimes we post about new adult or adult books and their film/TV adaptations, too), and the stars of the films/shows. We also do book reviews, movie reviews, quizzes, and more.
We hope you enjoy your stay. To interact with other fanboys and fangirls, please come join our friendly Facebook family here, and/or follow us on Twitter here, where side-eyeing is strictly prohibited, but having more than three book boyfriends/girlfriends is encouraged (because how are we supposed to choose?)
With love,
