Efforts to settle Livingston Parish's ongoing dispute with a former contractor appeared to stall Friday when Corey delaHoussaye said the Parish Council's offer of $300,000 is not enough to convince him to drop his federal lawsuit for retaliation.
The council authorized the "one-time final offer" amount Thursday night, after rejecting a $579,000 settlement offer from delaHoussaye's lawyer earlier this week, parish legal adviser Christopher Moody said.
Attorney Jill Craft told Moody on Tuesday that delaHoussaye would be willing to drop his federal lawsuit against the parish if the council agreed to pay in full his final invoice to the parish for wetlands mitigation work following Hurricane Gustav, plus $200,000. That final invoice, issued Dec. 8, 2011, totaled $379,517.54.
Moody said Friday the council's counteroffer was intended to settle both delaHoussaye's state court case regarding the unpaid invoice and his federal retaliation lawsuit. But Councilman Marshall Harris, who made the motion following an executive session Thursday night, said that was not his intention.
Harris said Thursday night that his motion was "to amend our original resolution on the C-Del case and to give Mr. Moody the authority to go and negotiate a settlement that was discussed in executive session."
The $300,000 offer was then publicly disclosed at Councilman Ricky Goff's request.
The council has passed several resolutions since 2012 regarding delaHoussaye's claims, the first of which came before either lawsuit was filed.
"The motion I made was to try to settle the money we owed him on his final invoice, not anything federal," Harris said Friday.
But Moody said, "It was very clear that everybody in the room understood that if we paid anything at all it would only be to resolve every matter. Pay something generous to settle all cases and stop the bleeding. And it was specifically in response to Jill Craft's letter, which I handed out."
Only the state court case was listed on the council's meeting agenda, but Moody said it was discussed together with the federal case because both were part of the settlement negotiations.
DelaHoussaye said Friday that although he appreciates the council's counteroffer — the first he said he has received since the council authorized Moody to settle the case in 2012 — he plans to push forward with the federal retaliation lawsuit.
"It's just not enough to make up for the retaliation my family and I have gone through after I stood up for the parish and blew the whistle," delaHoussaye said, referring to his claims that the parish's Gustav debris removal contractors performed ineligible and, in some cases, illegal work.
DelaHoussaye claims his reporting of the ineligible work was the reason the prior Parish Council fired his company, C-Del Inc., and the reason he is facing prosecution on allegations he overbilled the parish.
"They did it to shut me up and shut down my business, and they have cost me everything," delaHoussaye said Friday, noting he has had to sell vehicles and other property while his home falls into foreclosure. "Who wants to hire a guy named Corey delaHoussaye who's in the press every week? No matter what I say or do, they've ruined my reputation."

Awareness isn't empty. It may be a container of sorts, but it's not an empty vessel. What does it contain? It contains thoughts, and those thoughts manifest in physical form. This is what we call physical reality. Everything aside from awareness that we perceive to exist is an expression of the contents of awareness.
Since awareness holds thoughts of an ego, the ego is manifest in physical form as a human body. The ego benefits awareness by giving it a first-person perspective with which to interact with its manifestations. Living as a physical being means entering awareness itself and exploring the contents first-hand. Why on earth would awareness want to do this? Because awareness learns about every part of itself from the perspective of every other part.
Awareness itself is perfect as-is, but the perspective of the ego is such that it always seems imperfect. The ego's first-person perspective sees flaws while the third-person perspective of awareness sees only perfection and joy.
If awareness is perfect, then why did it create the ego in the first place? Because the ego is perfect too — in its own way it follows the perfect path towards discovering that perfection. What is perfection if there is no one to perceive and appreciate it?
An integral part of perfection itself is the creation of an observer whose role is to discover and appreciate that perfection. And in order to appreciate perfection, that observer must also understand imperfection. That observer is the ego.
It's ironic that our egos, which we perceive as so imperfect and flawed, are actually part of perfection itself. Perfection cannot exist without imperfection. In fact, as paradoxical as it may seem, imperfection is actually contained within perfection. Our deepest flaws are that which give rise to our greatest beauty. Our most horrific and painful failure experiences are those that allow us to grow the most and to help the most people. Our failures are perfect failures. That which causes us the greatest suffering is also that which gives us the greatest joy. The only difference between suffering and joy is perspective, such as the perspective of time.
Some people say that the path of spirituality requires that we abandon the ego. That is not an opinion I share. I believe the path to enlightenment requires a deep appreciation for the ego and its role in the self-expression of awareness.
The ego is not a mistake. The mistake is ego identification, and it's still a perfect mistake because it leads to deeper appreciation of awareness identification. The ego may not be your true self, but it is a vital part of a greater whole. The ego's purpose is to perceive and appreciate the contents of awareness, eventually leading to the conclusion that everything is in fact perfect as-is, including the ego itself.
Love your imperfections, your flaws, and your mistakes, for they are also the source of your greatest joy.

Alphabet Will Use Virtual And Augmented Reality For Life-Like Virtual Advertising
- Alphabet is betting on Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Google Glass AR viewer has been revived as Project Aura this year.
- Other VR/AR projects include the low cost VR viewer Cardboard, the Project Soli interface technology, and a strategic investment in the secretive Florida AR startup Magic Leap.
- Currently 89% of Alphabet's revenue comes from advertising.
- It seems likely that Alphabet will be able to carry its very successful business model into AR and become a leader in virtual advertising.
In September Amigobulls reported that Alphabet Inc-C (NASDAQ:GOOG) is accelerating its efforts to develop wearable technology and reviving Google Glass as Project Aura. Now Alphabet, the new holding company that became Google's parent company after the recent restructuring, is continuing to bet on visionary futurist projects in a wide range of sectors including including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
VR technology exploits headsets and other interface devices to place the user in a virtual world with full 360-degree visual and auditory immersion, which permits creating uniquely compelling video-games, VR movies, and next generation theme park experiences. In contrast, AR technology augments the user's perception of the real world with virtual annotations, such as street maps and directions, through interface devices like Google Glass.
Some VR and AR initiatives were presented at the annual Google I/O event in June. Google Cardboard is a simple, low-cost head mounted VR viewer, powered by any smartphone, with stereoscopic display and on-board accelerometer. The expected renaissance of the VR market, triggered by high-end devices like the Oculus Rift, could create a niche for low-cost viewers based on Cardboard technology as well. But Alphabet's ambition in the VR and AR sectors aims much higher.
Project Soli, a futuristic "moonshot" project, is developing a radar sensor on-a-chip for precise detection of hand and finger motion, with associated interpretation software. Once fully developed, the project, described by Business Insider as "straight out of a science fiction movie," could spearhead a new user-interface paradigm based on free hand and finger motion in 3D.
Perhaps the most ambitious of Alphabet's projects in VR and AR is the company's investment in Magic Leap, a secretive Florida AR startup that is developing a new VR/AR headset and related technologies. The company raised $542 million in October 2014 and $827 million last week. Google led the first funding round, and Google's CEO Sundar Pichai sits on the Magic Leap board.
"Magic Leap is bringing physics, biology, code, and design together to build a system that is going to blow doors open for people who create things," said science fiction writer Neal Stephenson, considered as one of the founding fathers of VR, who was hired by Magic Leap as Chief Futurist. "Anyone who reads, watches, studies, or plays on screens today is going to enjoy and benefit from the results. I've never seen or heard of a company that brings scientists, engineers, and artists together in the way that Magic Leap is doing and I'm excited to be part of it."
TechCrunch notes that the VR/AR push is not a visionary moonshot with yet unclear aims, but fits perfectly in Alphabet's existing business strategy. 89 percent per cent of Alphabet's revenue comes from advertising. The company "might like you to think of it as an alphabetic spectrum of moonshot technology bets - whether that's hacking death, accelerating life science research, building autonomous cars or making terrifying robots - but at base Google's business is all about profiling people for ad delivery. So its business model is all about your eyeballs."
In fact, life-like virtual ads could represent the future of advertising. In a world where always-on connected users spend more and more time wearing AR interface devices like Google Glass and live in a "mixed reality" that seamlessly blends the real and the virtual, there will be countless opportunities to deliver visually compelling ads that really catch the attention of the viewers.
Some companies will exaggerate with overly invasive and annoying virtual ads, but Google is skilled in minimally invasive forms of advertising, and its Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered techniques to profile consumers and deliver personalized ads that matter to them is second to none. It seems likely, therefore, that Alphabet will be able to carry its very successful business model into AR and become a leader in virtual advertising, with a positive impact on its stock in the mid-term.

The season when friends come to visit us in Chiang Mai is usually in late November when the weather is crisp and cool after the rains have ended. Because we are all now getting up in years, a rough trek to a hill tribe village or a long walk through the jungle is not our idea of fun any longer. However, we all still want to enjoy the hilltribe people and the fantastic scenery in north Thailand. Believe it or not this can be done and still avoid most of the tourist crowds. To enjoy a wonderful experience in north Thailand, it's a great advantage to speak a little Thai. However, if you don't speak the language, the best way is to hire a guide. My wife is a Thai national and I speak Thai so getting around in the rural areas is not a problem for us.
Around 9 am, we packed up our vehicle and left Chiang Mai heading to the Hill Tribe Museum. A good starting point where visitors can learn about the customs and traditions of the hilltribe people. To get there we drove north on Highway 107 toward Mae Rim and looked for the sign indicating a left turn into Rajamangala Ror Gao Park. After turning, we came to the Museum in a pavilion near a large lake.
The daily lives of the various hilltribe peoples are illustrated through exhibits of photographs, agricultural implements, household utensils, artifacts associated with the various traditional religions, musical instruments, and ethnic costumes. Some exhibits include models dressed in complete traditional costumes depicting daily activities, such as a Hmong family having a meal or a Lisu man serenading his sweetheart. The museum is open on weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm, and a slide and video show is available from 10 am to 2 pm daily except Sunday.
Leaving the museum, we returned to Highway 107 and continued north past Mae Rim, through the turn off to Mae Hong Sorn in Mae Malai (Highway 1095) and through Mae Taeng intersection. Continue driving north up a hill for a few kilometers to a large sign on the left indicating Mae Taaman. Turn left here and continue seven kilometers to a quiet elephant camp. You can't miss it as it is before the village and you will see elephants on your left. Turn onto the parking lot.
The day before the trip make reservations to book the tour. Again this can be made through a guide or tour operator. On arrival everyone went straight to the nursery pen where we bought bananas and sugar cane to feed the two calves. The manager of the elephant camp came to greet us, asking if we were ready for our little adventure. This included a one hour elephant ride through streams and hillsides, then transfer to an ox cart for a 20-minute ride to our bamboo raft and a 50-minute raft ride. We then transferred to a four-wheel vehicle for a short ride to a Lisu hill tribe village. Here we spent the evening with our host Lisu hill tribe family to enjoy their way of life. Toilet and showers are available here but not electricity.
I usually don't like to ride bamboo rafts, as the bamboo maerials are haphazardly cut from the forest. However, here the bamboo rafts are recycled for at least one year.
We asked the manager if we needed to take anything with us and she said, "Just take your camera, money and passport. Everything else will be taken to the Lisu village for you". We handed over our backpacks with the items we needed for our overnight stay in the village and locked everything else in the car.
When the elephants arrived, we boarded from a platform where we climbed into a howdah, a two person seat on the back of the elephant. We took off and right away headed for the stream. When we came to the river bank the elephant had to walk down. The front bar kept us from sliding off. It was a little scary at first but after a few minutes we anticipated when to hold on and it was kind of fun. Once we settled down from the excitement of being so high off the ground and started into the jungle. We heard shouting from our friends on the elephant in front of us. "Our elephant stopped and is shaking. What's going on!!" When we moved around the bend we could see that their elephant was urinating. We are talking gallons here. When an elephant urinates, it's whole body shakes something like being in a massage chair at the airport. Not only that, but an elephant eats constantly while walking in the jungle. This means it passes gas a lot and everyone got a real kick out of this. We continued on swaying gently on the elephants back with the sound of not only birds singing but the elephants constantly passing gas.
We traveled through stands of bamboo and it seemed that the elephants never stopped pulling the top tender bamboo branches with their trunks and eating them. There are not many trees here and the ones we did see were newly planted within the past ten years or so. We came back and crossed the river again to a Thai village. Here we got off the elephants at another platform, walked down the steps and purchased more bananas and fed the elephants as a tip. We then tipped our elephant handlers and were led to an ox cart harnessed to two white cows.
This is not a normal ox cart as it had two comfortable padded benches and a roof cover to keep us out of the sun. The ride was slow and steady along the paved road back to the elephant camp. As I had never taken an ox cart ride before, I needed to do it so I could check it off my list of done things in Thailand.
We were then led down to the river to get on the bamboo raft. The four of us were told to sit down on the two benches and face forward. There were two men on the raft with long bamboo poles, one at the front and one at the back. They pushed off and away we went.
I have been white water rafting many times in Thailand in rubber rafts through dense jungle so this transport was too calm for me. My friends loved it, slowly traveling down the river with the raft men pushing us away from the rocks along the banks. We saw a few colorful kingfishers gliding through the air and children playing in the river and shouting "Hello". Elephants that had finished their days' work of riding tourists on their backs were eating the bamboo on the hillside. The rafting was relaxing but it's extremely hot in the heat in the afternoon. Make sure to wear a hat and put on sunblock.
At the shore we were greeted by a Thai man who would drive us to the Lisu village in his pick up truck. We returned to the elephant camp where we had a wonderful Thai lunch along the river at their restaurant. After eating we jumped in the back of the pick up and away we went. The drive was only about 15 minutes or so on a dirt road through a small mountain canyon, across a stream and there we were.
The village was very clean with only about ten homes or so. What surprised us was the beautiful well kept garden and also that the village was surrounded with trees. Most hill tribes do clear by cut, slash and burn farming. Later, I found out from the village headman that the elephant camp owns the land and assists the villagers with funds for building projects. He stated that the villagers relocated here from the high mountains to be nearer to schools for their children and a much better way of life.
The village headman Asapa and his son greeted us in English. Before entering his home, we took our shoes off. While sipping a welcome cup of green tea, we started asking questions. One question I had was why were the houses built like those of the Karen or Lahu hill tribes up on stilts instead of a dirt floor on the ground like most Lisu homes. He told me that although they follow Lisu customs and culture, the homes more reflected a combination of hill tribe and Thai houses, which were more comfortable and sturdy. I had to agree that the house was very cool and one of the most clean hill tribe homes I have ever been in. Outside we enjoyed playing with the children spinning large tops and shooting crossbows at targets. The rest of the day was spent walking around the village watching women sewing and making beaded bracelets and necklaces. No one ever asked us to buy anything, however, when we saw something we liked we asked how much. They were glad to make a sale. We were allowed to take pictures however we always asked permission as some do not want their picture taken.
This village is a great place to learn about farming methods, how the children travel to school, who lived in which house and how many members in the families. I am sure they got tired of answering all our questions.
We were feeling hungry when Alipa, the headman's son, brought two plates of sliced ripe mangos. My wife asked what was for dinner. In the kitchen she was shown fresh meat and vegetables. My lovely Thai wife and Alipa's wife, Weepha, started preparing dinner.
About twenty or so Lisu men, women, boys and girls formed two circles in front of us. The boys and men formed an inside circle and the women and girls on the outside circle. They had all changed from their colorful work clothes into even more colorful evening costumes. The men usually wear T-shirts and Lisu baggy pants and the girls traditional dresses which are easy to work in during the day. The children had changed from their school uniforms into their traditional costumes.
Asapa came out of his home in his black Lisu clothes and hat, carrying a long musical instrument made of five bamboo pipes fastened to a gourd at the bottom end. Five holes were drilled in the gourd where he put his fingers.Standing in the center of the circle, he began playing. The sound was similar to a flute but also had a bass note that added a beat. As he was playing and marching in the center, the girls and boys joined hands and began dancing around the outside in their respective circles. Soon we all joined in. Just when some were getting the hang of the dance, my wife announced, "Dinner's ready" .
We went back into the house and sat on the floor. Dinner was mountain rice, lemon grass soup, a mild Lisu pork dish mixed with vegetables, a very spicy red curry with chicken and fresh stir fried vegetables. It was more than we could eat.
The mattresses were comfortable sleeping two persons on each mattress. We were given clean blankets and pillows and got ready to sleep. I reminded everyone to put on their ear plugs or at least keep them handy as at 3 am the roosters would start crowing. Soon we all fell asleep while listening to the village sounds, people talking softly, children laughing, pigs snorting at times and chickens flapping their wings as they perched in the trees to roost.
My wife was the first one to wake up saying "It's cold. I'm going outside to stand by the fire." It was just getting light outside as I lay there listening to the sound of women talking softly and the wonderful sound of a dull "Ka-chunk, Ka-chunk", which was the Rice Pounder taking the husks off the grains of rice. This is a morning ritual in a hill tribe village. The rice pounder (as I call it) is a long beam with a fulcrum near one end. On the other end is a round piece of wood attached to the beam pointing down into a wooden hollowed out log set into the ground vertically. Two women put their feet on the beam at the end opposite of hollowed log and press down. They then release their feet from the beam and the opposite end crashes into the hollowed log filled with unhusked rice.
When I got up and put my clothes on everyone was already awake and drinking coffee or tea. The girls were now taking the rice and placing it in large, round bamboo plates and tossing it into the air. The gentle breeze blew the husks away to leave nice white rice kernels in the bottom. The sun was just coming up but yet to peek over the mountains, a foggy mist was lingering from the ground up about two feet or so. Smoke was coming from the homes of people cooking rice and their breakfast, which my wife and Weepha were doing.
Since it was a weekday the children of school age were dressed in their school uniforms carrying their backpacks. We waited with them for the school bus to arrive, which was a large truck with benches and steel cage with a door in the back. We waved them a good bye while they were all screaming "Bye Bye." The village seemed deserted as most were already leaving for work in town or to work in the gardens. The women who worked in the gardens put on their traditional colorful work clothes and the men were back in their baggy bright blue or green Lisu pants and T-shirts. The only ones left in the village were children too young to start school and the grandparents that took care of them, all in traditional dress.
After showering in my home, we all headed to the handicraft factories in Sankhampaeng. After a great lunch, there was a four hour drive to Doi Inthanon National Park. That is another adventure that I will share with you in a future issue.

When your Oldsmobile Bravada left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes a trusted name in their automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that good looks is built into each Oldsmobile, and understand that only top quality repair Bravada parts will suffice when repairs are needed. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Distributor for your car or truck. Oldsmobile vehicle drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Bravada around town.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, there would be no way to generate enough power for efficient operation. The fact that your Oldsmobile Bravada has mechanically timed ignition means that it has a distributor. Your distributor has several components inside of it, each one susceptible to failure. However, since the distributor drive gear and shaft rotate hundreds of thousands of times each day, the whole part is bound to fail eventually. Your replacement Oldsmobile Bravada distributor should be just as good as your original.
When your Oldsmobile requires a top quality replacement Distributor, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Oldsmobile Bravada part for your needs. Bring your Bravada back to life with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

I have gained some more insight into the libev internals.

Due do this news and the massive inconvience of patching everything, I am currently favoring the libev-source solution.

The golf hook is a really destructive golf shot.
It is a shot that starts right of the target then severely curves a great deal to the left of the target for a right handed golfer (left handed - the golf ball starts left of the target and curves a great deal to the right of the target). This shot will normally result in a lost golf ball, a shot that will find trouble or a golf ball that will be heading out of bounds. This tip is going to help you solve that problem.
Problem - A hook would normally happen with a driver as the loft of the face is low, therefore imparting more spin axis on the golf ball sending it off target. Also the extra speed created from the driver will cause the ball to curve off target much more. A hook shot can happen with an iron, however, most of the time this will be slightly less curved but the shot can still cause devastating results. The errors that can lead to a hooked golf shot will normally come directly from an incorrect grip. A hooked golf shot can come from the grip being too strong. A grip that is too strong means that the top hand of the grip is too much on top of the grip and the bottom hand of the grip is too much around the back of the golf club. This will cause the golf club face to aim severely closed at impact, therefore sending the golf ball left of the target for a right handed golfer (left handed - too strong a grip will close the club face at impact sending the golf ball severely right at impact).
As a result, the golfer may have learnt to try and hit the ball more to the right to stop the golf ball going left, however as a result, this exaggerates the impact factor and a hooked golf shot is born as the swing path becomes too much inside. The contrast between the swing path going right and the club face aiming more left than the path causes the ball to curve on a tilted spin axis.
Fix - Correct hold of the golf club is vital. The grip needs to become more neutral so that the club face remains square at impact.
Key point - Your top hand goes on the golf club first, making sure we hold the golf club straight. Hold the grip in the base of the fingers and wrap the hand on top, pointing the thumb down the front of the grip.
Check point 1 - Make sure you can see only 2½ knuckles on the hand when looking down.
Check point 2 - The thumb and index finger create a crease that points to your shoulder that is away from the target. Then place the bottom hand on the golf club holding again with the base of the fingers and wrap the thumb pad on top of the other hand's thumb.
Check point 3 - The crease between the thumb and the index finger again points towards the shoulder furthest away from the target. Link the fingers at the back of the grip by either interlocking or overlapping the index finger of the top hand and the little finger of the bottom hand.
Top tip - Hold the club gently. Avoid strangling the golf club as this will restrict the correct hand action through the ball.
Key point - Once the grip has been neutralized, the idea would be to swing the golf club less from the inside of the ball. Therefore, attempt to swing the golf club more to the left of the target and release the golf club by crossing over the bottom arm with the top arm.
Top tip - Point the golf club's butt end towards where the golf ball started at set up at the half way position in the follow through.

Ahola Mana is the Hopi Kachina of the Soyal Ceremony, celebrated at the winter solstice. The ceremony is intended to turn the sun back from its winter course and bring life back to the land. Ahola Mana and her associated male Kachina, Ahola, travel from house to house and mark the outer walls with corn meal. The women of the house take seeds from the basket that Ahola Mana holds. Her name means "divine germination maiden."

So, I ordered my son the EVI dollhouse doll set family to go with the Ostheimer Farmhouse that I purchased for christmas. I opened up the package of dolls, to put in a box with tissue paper, and immediately upon opening, I smelled a chemical smell. I was confused because I had read everyone raving about these dolls and how great they were. Then I noticed the small tag attached to each doll that read, "Wool fleece, Wire isolated with PVC, and plastic buttons." I emailed the company I purchased these from, stating that I wanted a full refund. They never mentioned this on their website and the outer package doesn't list it either, which is very misleading! So now the question is: "What dollhouse dolls DO NOT contain any PVC or other toxic materials?" Does anyone know about the Kathe Kruse dollhouse dolls? I am thinking that will be my next choice if everything checks out ok. Thanks!
I don't think has always been the case (but I'm not sure) we've had Evi dolls for about four years now, I don't remember it saying anywhere on the packaging about PVC, I just thought it was bendy wire directly inside the doll. I remember getting a doll wet by mistake and wondering if it would rust or not. I wonder if this is new to Evi dolls, I know they have always been marketed as completely natural, so I'm shocked!
Is this the new style with the removeable clothing?
Just curious as we have several of their dolls, though they were all purchased from stores so could have long-since aired out, but I never noticed a smell or those tags.
you can get some really beautiful handmade dolls from etsy :-)
Although we do have a few Plan Toys dolls that probably have the same nasty PVC in them, DD usues her Ostheimer figures (the regular ones) in her dollhouse.
Ostheimer also now makes dollhouse dolls.
The Wooden Wagon has them in their Dollhouses & Dolls section.
Me (25) DW (26) DD1 (8) DD2 (6) DD 3 (3)
Two cats, two dogs, complete chaos.
The PVC is covering all of their dollhouse dolls, it seems. Apparently this is some kind of new regulation that the store I purchased them through wasn't even aware of. This is the response I received from the store I purchased them from:
Thank you for your email and bringing this to our attention.
We have checked with the manufacturer and due to the new toy safety laws all wire now has to be coated in plastic for the safety of the children. The plastic coated wire is deeply embedded in the dolls and it gives the dolls their flexibility: the coating prevents the wire from penetrating the cloth. It should at no point be exposed on any of the figures. But you are right, we neglected to see that this new precaution was made by Evi Dolls and we did not indicate this on the web site something we have now rectified.
However, the PVC is NOT deeply embedded in the dolls. It's a rather thick piece of plastic covering the wires of the moveable parts of the dolls. All that is covering it is thin cloth fabric. I will look into the Ostheimer dolls, thanks.
And the PVC is not a necessity... I have some wool felted dolls with plain wire in them. They're for our nature table, but they're fine.
Me (25) DW (26) DD1 (8) DD2 (6) DD 3 (3)
Two cats, two dogs, complete chaos.
That makes sense. Manufacturers have to be so CYA now with all the litigious people. *eyeroll* Ruins it for everyone else.
I looked as close as possible at our Kathy Kruse dollhouse dolls purchased within the last year from a local toy store and/or Magic Cabin. The ones I could get a good look at had a closely woven cotton-looking fabric around the bendy parts.
I head banging on table also have some of the new dressable Evi dolls but they are in their packages. The ones I have are from Nova and dated 09 production. I don't want to open them because I want to be able to return them. There is no way I am buying PVC for my kids.
I don't buy that PVC is "required." A coating might be required but it I don't believe that it necessarily needs to be plastic and it certainly doesn't need to be PVC.
Dana - Would please PM me what store you got them from? Before I do more work I'd like to know where to start.
I contacted Nova Naturals yesterday because they are the American distributor. They didn't know anything about the issue but the person I spoke to talked to EVI and reviewed their dolls. They called me back this morning and confirmed that the posable dolls do now contain PVC-coated wire, because they are no longer able to use plain wire. All EVI posable dolls have the PVC coated wire. The newest production is marked on the packaging. They aren't sure if the 09 production, which is not marked, contain PVC or not or when the change is made. They said they are also for sale in Europe with the PVC "and can be" but that makes the least amount of sense to me. PVC is not allowed in children's goods under EU regulations. I did tell them that the Kathy Kurse dollhouse dolls are using cotton coated wire.
So, I am quite dissappointed and think it is a major misstep from a respected natural goods company and producer. I won't buy PVC containing toys from Toys R Us and I certainly won't do it for "natural" dolls.
Can anyone recommend a similar soft dollhouse doll with removable clothing? We have a few of the KK dolls and while quite nice, I liked the more substantial feel of the EVI dolls. And if you have an etsy suggestion, please provide the specific seller. Thanks!
Thanks for the update. I, too, am in search of another brand of dollhouse dolls, minus he PVC of course. I'm also surprised that EU regulations would permit the use of PVC in children's toys )
I mean, what is the point of spending $130 on a set of dollhouse dolls, that are supposed to made of all "natural" materials, when they have a thick dense coating of PVC on the outside of the wires? PVC- the toxic,cheap chemical, loaded with heavy metals and endocrine disruptors. They've starting phasing out PVC shower curtains, but yet, add it to children's "natural dolls?" I'm curious to see if this will effect the demand for the dolls. Hopefully, they will come up with another way to meet whatever regulation needs to be met, minus the PVC.
Nova Naturals *just* started being the distributor for Evi Dolls within the past six months, and they did not know there was PVC in them until after they began distributing. They are attempting to find an alternate material and are hoping to change the current situation. I sell their dolls through the co-op and have only been ordering the actual dolls lately, not the smaller ones with PVC.
You can check out Georgian Wood Toys- they have some nice bendy dolls... I also think it's not that hard to make them- the Silver Penny has a tutorial for a bendy doll that with a little creativity and imagination could probably be adapted to any sort of figure/character you want! That's the direction I am headed in. ;)
my friend on etsy (woolhalla) makes beautiful handmade dollhouse dolls :D she will make customs as well, so you can have your own family traits.
Once in while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.... mama of 4 lovelies, an angel, and one on the way.

It's not a concern, as Franz from Evi Dolls writes (translated from the Portuguese):
"As the wireframe wrapped in PVC I have no option. We knew that in certain circles PVC is seen as a highly dangerous materials and sent to an individual test of this structure in accordance with the standards for toys in the lab SGS-Brazil, international accreditation. According to the Appraisal Report this lab the level of phthalates (which is the villain of this story with PVC) in our wireframe is so small that is well below the reference table."
Their dolls also meet the testing for European Union EU-71 and are sold by Grimm's Spiel und Holz in Germany.
It's good to be cautious, but given the above, I don't believe that we need to worry about the PVC-coating on the wire frame in the Evi Dolls. Both the Brazilian lab and the EU testing that Grimm's must have had done to import them will be testing for limits that, as with children's safety, are many times well below the suspected safe levels. As Evi Dolls says, in the Brazilian lab, the level of pthalates tested was well below this level, that itself would be many times lower than that deemed safe.
Testing and regulations for children's toys are very strict and very cautious. If it is passing these tests in Brazil and Germany, I don't think it is a problem.
Evi Dolls is a great company with a noble history, past and present. They originally supported disabled peoples and women with children, many of them single mothers in poverty in Brazil, and taught them skills for doll-making, and a means to make a living and a way out of poverty. Now it is mainly women working there, but still a social development project. They use all wool stuffing, and they use the plastic coating because it is law that they do so for protection of children, should the wire become exposed.
It is a concern for many people. PVC has no place in natural toys. EVI is not required to use PVC-coated wire. They are required to use coated wire. Kathy Kruse chooses to use cotton wrapped.
The PVC in the coating of the wires in the Evi dolls had pthalates that were so low, that they were even off the charts for what was said to be the lowest tolerable amount for children's toys by law. It's like an analogy of an apple containing acetone, cyanide, and formaldehyde, which they all do, in very low amounts. No one is banning apples and saying that formaldehyde has no place in food. It's the amount that is critical.
I believe that they are required by Brazilian toy law to coat the wire in plastic, but I completely agree that cotton-wrapped would be a very good alternative indeed! I will see what they say to this.

After day 5 of this Newcastle saga, which has become an acute embarrassment to the club for their complete lack of any real action that fans can see – or that have been reported by the club itself – there is a report in the Independent tonight that Mike Ashley will be flying in on Friday to try to sort out the mess.
And believe us, this is another mess the club have made of what should have been a fairly straight-forward situation.
It looks like Benitez' representatives, who have been negotiating for three days with Newcastle, are now ready let their client (Benitez) sign a three-year contract at Newcastle.
But because Newcastle have moved with glacier like movement since Saturday, there is now a possibility Rafa will not want to take over until after the Leicester City game on Monday night – and that could become our 8th successive away loss and only 9 games left to play.
Lee Charnley – leading Newcastle – but where to?
Just exactly what Lee Charnley and others have been doing or thinking this week – they have certainly not moved with the purpose, decisiveness and urgency necessary of a club in such serious danger of being relegated.
But what's new – they never do.
Any normal club would have fired McClaren after the Bournemouth disgrace – whether it was Sunday or Monday – and put say Ian Cathro in charge of training but no – Steve McClaren has come in to take the training for the last three days – in what they have turned into a bizarre situation and (very) embarrassing to the club.
It's amazing to have to even say this – but apparently the Board have still not made a decision on whether McClaren will stay at Newcastle and even denied to local papers this afternoon that Steve McClaren had finally been fired, when that's what Sky Sports reported.
And the very fact the Board have protected and stayed with Steve McClaren all season long – when he has the worst record of any manager in Newcastle's Premier league history – has put Newcastle into this dangerous situation where it looks we will now be relegated.
From what we can understand – and it's not easy – Ashley will fly in tomorrow to give the go ahead for Newcastle to formally present a three year deal to Benitez, with an option in the contract that he can leave if Newcastle if we are relegated.
Mike may also be required to ensure Benitez that he will have full control of all transfers, which will be a big change in the way Newcastle are managed and a change for the better too.
But with things still so uncertain, Newcastle may now have to make a decision on who will be in charge of the team on Monday night – and if it's Steve McClaren – just how embarrassing will that be?
Lee Charley's big mistake was to keep McClaren employed as he was negotiating for a new manager – and any normal club would have fired McClaren quickly after the Bournemouth disgrace – which was after all a must win game after the defeat at Stoke – where McClaren went all out for a 0-0 draw(and failed) after 18 days of preparation for the game.
But because Charnley cannot seem to make a decision to save his life, Newcastle have looked to be both dithering and incompetent to the outside world looking on in amazement as nothing gets done – and not for the first time this season.
In truth, Steve McClaren should have been fired long ago and long before we dropped 9 points behind the 5th bottom club Swansea City.
It will be the sixth day tomorrow of this soap opera – and we have no idea what will happen – but if it's anything like the previous five days – then nothing much will happen and the dithering and confusion will continue.

Lighting has so many functions and personalities that developing a thoughtful plan to incorporate function, drama, ambience, mood, tricks and style is always worth the time and money to get it right. Pre-planning a well thought out lighting scheme should be at the top of any remodeling or redecorating venture. There are so many ways both natural and artificial lighting affect any room and the people in it all day and all evening.
Especially when remodeling, the construction preparation for lighting is less costly if it's done before any walls start coming down or before the last coat of paint is applied. Once the walls are finished, it is too late to add more lighting to a forgotten area without an expensive mess. This means thinking through and putting down on paper all places where the correct amount of lighting will make a difference in each room. There are two types of room lighting to evaluate: natural and artificial. Not all rooms have enough daytime lighting to complete the functions in that room and may need a boost during daylight hours. Many rooms have multi uses requiring several layers of different types of lighting such as the basic general lighting, specific task lighting and ambient lighting. Ambient or mood lighting can take on many forms depending on the room and its function. We all love mood lighting at the formal dining table, but don't forget the romance of the bedroom or the bathroom while soaking in a relaxing bath tub.
Arizona has plenty of natural daylight and may need to close out some light during the summer to reduce heat transference. In this case the room may require extra artificial lighting. Landscaping with lots of trees and bushes outside windows gives shade but can also reduce natural interior lighting.
Next evaluate the purpose of the room and how many people will use it daily, occasionally or on special occasions. Does the room require different functions in different locations requiring multiple layers of lighting. What are the room's best features and can they be accentuated or are there any faults that can be corrected with better lighting. Would the room's ambiance improve with some dramatic or soft mood lighting?
The next step is to apply fundamental lighting principles by establishing a general lighting plan of three to five points of light around the room depending on the size of the room. If nothing else is done with lighting this will give basic illumination to the room. It can be accomplished by using table or floor lamps, which can be gorgeous and double as a unique accessory to add style to the space. Perhaps that lamp reflects your love of European countries with a design in carved wood, veined marble or sparkling crystal. Or perhaps a lamp with the clean lines of a contemporary styling in colored glass, polished metal or sculptured stone is more your taste. Maybe the room needs an unexpected touch of whimsy in the lamp style something that becomes a conversation piece. Lamps with a personality help establish the character of the room or showcase a rare treasure that blends a sense of history and atmosphere to your home.
The next step is adding the second layer, task lighting to the areas where specific things are being undertaken. Task lighting is needed at a desktop or computer center, by a reading chair, by the bedside, on the kitchen counter, applying makeup, or at a craft or a sewing table. Task lighting requires close-up lighting that doesn't cast shadows or dark spots on the assignment at hand. This can be achieved by using specific lamps is various sizes and styles or strips lighting in the case of the kitchen counter.
The creative layer of lighting is the most fun because it can be applied to so many elements of design. Ambient lighting can be created in many places that are a natural and in places where a touch of light is a surprise. Commonly, installing lights on top of pot shelves, inside glass door cabinets and over a large painting are easy to do. But what about installing strip lighting at the base of the kitchen island or just under the counter to showcase a gorgeous new remodeled kitchen. Dark corners can turn into museum quality displays with accent lighting shining up from the floor or down from the ceiling onto a pedestal with artwork, a plant or sculpture. Wall washers can be used to highlight a decorative textured wall finish or an architectural feature. Hidden lighting can show off elegant window drapery fabrics or emphasize and draw attention to a fireplace.
There are endless ways of putting a lighting plan together to create a personal style, to distinguish the uniqueness of you and your home. It just takes planning, creativity, an ingredient of surprise and a blending of elements to capture and reflect the individual spirit that only you possess.

Some topics discussed in the simulated reality:
The simulation can not be touched.
when the owner stop the simulation, everything in the simulation stop (no stopping perceptions from the intelligent agents).
some agents know (can/will prove it) they are in the simulation.
there is some topics related to death and the simulation.
some people argue we don't know we are already dead or already immortal.
the simulation could be used to see the past or predict the future (time machine).
the intelligent agents could start their own simulation (faster or slower).
we might be in several simulations already, the highers are slower or faster, the lowers are slower or faster.
the simulation might be used for only one person, none or all or few.
the simulation might cease after the human era.
the simulation we are in, might cease when we ourselves create the same simulation, reaching the similar point.

A good job is one that helps people in focusing their energies towards a significant goal and also keeping one intellectually stimulated – especially where there is healthy competition among peers. Unfortunately the choice between keeping a full time job and staying with the kids at home is one of the hardest decisions that a mother has to make. Many times having to make this choice is detrimental to a woman's dream of career progression.
The possibility of working from home and being able to reach similar goals as other women has changed the fortunes of a lot of women and they do not have to sacrifice any of the two. Here are some examples of work at home jobs for women;
Women who have a good knowledge of certain subjects or are fluent in more than one language can engage themselves in online tutoring. Students have been receiving help from tutors for a long time to improve their grades in different school subjects, but with a computer and good internet connection, a stay at home mum can easily provide this services remotely. A normal tutor can assist only one or two students at a time but virtual tutors are able to assist many students at the same time. Tutor.com and studypool.com are some of the sites that hire virtual tutors who can work from home.
Women who command a good following on social media can join affiliate marketing programs where one can sell items and services that are posted on these websites for a commission. Amazon.com is one of the websites that offers a wide range of products that one can sell for a commission in the comfort of your home.
Every company whether big or small needs vigorous advertisement to reach its desired clients. Graphic designers are people who are good in listening and coming up with awesome design solutions and hence they are able to understand the needs of a client and create attractive magazines, flyers, catalogs and different kind of advertisements. Women who are good in graphic design can easily design advertisements from home.
For women who have good skills in editing and can proofread written blogs, articles and content. There are many sites which offer this kind of jobs with flexible timelines and this can be done from home. Women can easily find these jobs on upwork.com, freelancer.com and guru.com
Women who have good computer skills and technical understanding of internet search engines can work as search engine evaluators. These are people who ensure that users of search engines like Google get desired results when they search for something on the internet. Women are known to have very good organizational and coordination skills which can be put into good use in this field of work.
Remote interviews through the telephone are now a common survey method that can easily be done by women from the confines of their home. Armed with a telephone and pre-determined set of questions, telephone interviews can easily be conducted by women at home.

Recently, we were approached by someone to design and build a small duplex on a tight infill house in Philadelphia. Without getting into too much detail, the lot is roughly 27′ wide by 20′ deep. Tight constraints to say the least. This footprint reminded us of one of our favorite Japanese small house designs – The 9 Tsubo House. Special thanks to our pals Justin and Greg from Materialicious for helping us dig up links to these homes.
image credit: designboom.com
Origins of the 9 Tsubo House
The 9 Tsubo House was originally designed and built by the late Japanese architect Masuzawa Makoto in 1952. The tsubo is a traditional Japanese unit of measure that equates to two tatami mats placed side by side. A tatami mat is roughly 3′ x 6′ so one tsubo would be 6′ x 6′ or 36 square feet. The 9 Tsubo house, therfore measured 18′ x 18′ for minimalist footprint of only 324 square feet. When a second floor loft is added the total square footage typically ranged from 500 – 540 square feet.
The reason for Makoto choosing these exact dimensions was based on a program offered by the houseing corporation of Japan after World War II. They would only provide loans to those people building a home of 50 square meters or less (~538 square feet). Anyone needing a larger house was assumed to be wealthy enough not to require a loan. Wouldn't it be great if a US bank had a program like this incentivising people to build smaller homes?
Modern 9 Tsubo Houses by Boo-Hoo-Woo.com
In 2002 a company by the name of Boo-Hoo-Woo decided that this old 9 Tsubo House concept was pretty cool. They assembled 5 current Japanese designers to develop a line of homes all based on the original 9 Tsubo house by Mokoto a half century ago.
Currently there are 15 different models on the 9tubohouse.com site by 12 different designers (one is a husband & wife team). The site is in Japanese, but your Google toolbar will easily translate the majority into your language of choice. The company sells these homes online in Japan for between $120K – $200K. The craftmanship and attention to detail in every aspect of the homes is incredible. Below are some selected images from the site and sources used for this post. I highly recommend spending some time checking them out. Detailed floorplans and elevations are shown for most models.

College of Science and Mathematics, UP Mindanao.
For those of you who are following this blog for sometime, you may probably know that I am currently working on my thesis. I've been waiting for this for ages and here it goes! I just passed the defense! Honestly, the week before the defense were exhausting, anxious and depressed. I don't know but everyone may never be that ready to defend their thesis. There is always that feeling of being "not enough". I didn't even expected to be able to defend on the last day of the defense because of the fact that I think I'll never make it through. I was so stuck with my thesis for some time and there's no backward or forward. It's not so good to be so unproductive at all, while everyone are working and moving on with their lives. I can't help myself but to be jealous of them because I could be one of them too. Never in my life had the thought of being here in my current situation.
I asked myself too many questions that I'm too desperate to answer. Whenever I feel the tension and pressure building, I always try to find peace with the Almighty. He sends someone, somebody to help me and work out my thesis. There are things that I encountered, along with my thesis journey, that seemed to be impossible for my human mind to find an escape. But the Almighty has done all the miracles. He has blessed me with smart and supportive college friends. I am especially thankful to my lab partner who always pushed to the limits. Whenever I feel like giving up, I refueled with my amazement of his drive to continue and reach the goal.
God sends his angels to keep us on achieving our goals. The day before the defense, I've decided to offer the day to the Almighty. I lay my burdens at his very feet and surrendered everything. I attended the mass with my close friend and went to the mall to buy something. We had a dinner and chitchat for a while. I was calmer and secured.
|Rm 105
|With my college close friends (JP and Shiela)
|No amount of happiness can measure this moment.
To tell you the truth, I am really just nothing. There's nothing in me to be boastful about, since this achievement is not solely my effort. I would like to thank the people who were with me since Day 01. This is for you people,
I still have a long way to run for these to be bidden but I'm on my way to my Sablay!

Check up tomorrow
Have my weekly check up tomorrow. Doctor said he will check to see if I have dilated at all if I want him to :) Haven't decided yet. Will be 38 weeks Monday. Should I ask him to check or just leave everything be?
Comment deleted
Yea good point! I do want him to honestly. Its just kinda painful! ..Of course I will be dealing with much worse pain here soon lol.
Comment deleted
Don't they start checking you at a certain point anyway? I was induced early with my daughter so I have never made it this far in a pregnancy before to know really.
Comment deleted
I am very curious lol. Husband works night shift and my in laws ( who will be watching our daughter) live 40 minutes away so it would kinda be nice to have a little heads up.
I am 36 weeks and Tuesday my doctor checked me.. I had the choice but figured it wouldn't hurt to know if something was starting to happen :)
