Sayulita villa description
One of Sayulita's finest luxury homes, Villa Buena Vista is perched on a bluff overlooking the beach and beautiful Sayulita Bay. A palm-lined, tranquil beach is just 5 minutes away, restaurants and shopping another ten minutes walk along the sands. A combination of hacienda openness and modern luxury, the villa boasts 2 master suites and a 3rd bedroom with bath and wet bar. These bedrooms are steps from our spectacular, saltwater infinity pool and jacuzzi. In addition, we have a semi-attached, 2 level casita, with full kitchen, luxury living room and spacious master suite. Every bedroom in the complex is air-conditioned and boasts spectacular ocean views. The villa also has an airconditioned kitchen/family room, (unique in Sayulita), that opens out to a lush, enclosed garden. In all, the complex sleeps 8 in beds and ten if sleeping sofas are used. The villa may be rented without casita. If the casita only is rented, pool and garden access are excluded. Please contact us for more photos and virtual tours .
ENTERING Villa Buena Vista is like stepping into a Sayulita post card. Sayulita's most famous view, of the ocean, surf break and Sayulita Point, is visible from nearly everywhere in the complex. The entire upper floor of the villa was designed as one, large open space, with gradually descending levels defining the kitchen/family room, dining room and palapa. All interior wall systems are beautiful parota-wood-trimmed glass panels, which were designed to maximize views. The walled garden/courtyard features a hi-end SMEG gas barbeque, with dining set and sun umbrella that are only steps from the kitchen. The kitchen itself is American style, with stainless steel appliances, polished cement counters and spectacular views. Across a low-walled, central passageway is our family/tv room, with a cozy, wraparound sofa, large flat-screen t.v. with dvd player and an extensive dvd collection--featuring many classics. All cabinets and other woodwork are of teak-like, parota wood and done in the Balinese style.
Three steps down from the kitchen/family room is our spacious, spectacular dining room. (we guarantee you will never forget meals taken there). A large table seats up to 12 and is framed by a Moroccan style, gas fireplace on one end, and an antique Tibetan door, painted in the temple style on the other.There is also a small bathroom in this area. Tastefully placed and lighted throughout this level is our extensive collection of ethnic and modern art, accented by an abundance of tropical plants. The entire dining room is open to the palapa, so that you may enjoy your meals and the spectacular views simultaneously.
Our fabulous palapa--with its wraparound sofa system that also seats up to twelve--may be entered from either end of the dining room. Enjoy the great views from here while cozying up with your friends and family, surrounded by tropical plants and wonderful art and lighting.
From either side of the palapa, twin-spiraling staircases lead down to the pool and bedroom level of the villa. People who know say that we have the most spectacular pool setting in Sayulita. The infinity pool and jacuzzi have a state-of-the-art saltwater filtration system, the water sparkling clean without that annoying chlorine smell and residual. The pool is 6 feet deep--with a lounging platform and shallow kiddy area--and the jacuzzi holds up to 6 people. Our favorite thing to do every evening is to take a delicious hot soak in the jacuzzi, followed by a refreshing swim. Afterwards, we stretch out on chaises and relax to the sound of waves on the shore; then doze off while stargazing or meditating on the twinkling lights of the village of Sayulita.
Just steps from the pool area are two spacious master suites. The suites are mirror opposites except for art, with king beds, and accented by the same Balinese style woodwork and detail found on the main level. The bathrooms are large, with separate tumbled marble showers, elegant lighting and artifacts. Between the two suites, along a short gallery hall, is the third bedroom. This room features a wet bar and fridge, (very handy for morning coffee and pool drinks), and has a trundle bed from Oyster Bed in San Francisco, that forms 2 twins. Sheets and linens are in a handy wicker storage trunk that fronts the bed. This room also serves as a small day/living room when not used for sleeping.
Last but not least is our charming, 2-level casita that was inspired by the houses of Old Ibiza. The upper level features a full kitchen and a living area with another spacious, wraparound sofa. The sofa had memory foam cushions and is twin-bed width, roomy enough for two people or children. This room opens to a small terrace with cafe table and spectacular ocean view. The casita is designed with the same attention to detail as the villa, and is filled with wonderful art and artifacts. There is also a flat screen, satellite tv, with dvd player.
Follow a romantic, turret staircase down to the master suite, which features a second ocean view terrace and full bath. The first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning is that fabulous view of the ocean and Sayulita Point. When shared with friends and family, the casita may be entered from the villa's front garden.

We loved, loved this house. The view is absolutely STUNNING. Our two youngest kids did not want to leave the house -- they adored the infinity pool! Very clean, comfortable, relaxing. The hike up the hill from town was daunting at first but we figured out quickly how to get a taxi from the main plaza in town. Thank you for a great stay!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I stayed here for a week with some girl friends, and it was awe-inspiring from the moment we entered the villa. The furniture and decorations helped it to feel more like a luxurious home than a hotel. As the villa is located on top of a hill, the views of the sunset over the ocean are incredible. It was difficult to leave the infinity pool and atmosphere of deep relaxation for even a few hours to venture into town and the beach. The town and nearby beaches were very inviting, however, and we had some delicious Mexican food. I would highly recommend Villa Buena Vista if you're interested in a relaxing and luxurious break from reality.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

I vacationed here with a group of girlfriends and the experience was absolutely amazing. The moment we entered the home, our jaws dropped at the unobstructed, sweeping views of Sayulita's bay and the surrounding areas. We spent many hours enjoying the amazing infinity pool, taking in the views during the day and the spectacular lightning shows at night. The home is thoughtfully built and beautifully decorated, the lighting and dimmers truly create a soothing atmosphere, the art and detailed finishes are tasteful, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are extremely comfortable-but it is truly the views from every room/space of the home that will take your breath away. The home is a 10 minute walk to town or the beach, but we spent the majority of our time relaxing at the house-it was quite the oasis from the stresses of our everyday living. There was plenty of room for all of us to gather together or relax individually. The owners and house staff were all really helpful, hospitable and accommodating. This was a wonderful vacation destination-I would highly recommend this home rental for all type of groups!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I stayed at this lovely villa with a group of girlfriends and it was exactly what we were looking for in terms of comfort, relaxation, amenities, and luxury. Simply spending a day letting your mind wander as you gaze out over the ocean (which stretches out as far as the eye can see) from the main quarters under the large palapa, at the dining table, or while floating in the saltwater pool (you can hear the waves crashing on the shoreline below!) feels like the perfect escape from civilization while the village of Sayulita is a mere 10 minute walk away. The VIlla Buena Vista is the manifestation of comfort and usability coupled with high quality and style. I stayed in the Casita and the bed was super comfy, the AC was lovely (August =hot!), the shower refreshing, and the decks were perfect for meditating with a morning cup of coffee. The staff is friendly and very accommodating and Sayulita offers great places to try the local fare should you feel compelled to ever leave the villa. Bichos (right near the town square) fish tacos or the shrimp quesadilla shouldn't be missed and a breakfast at Chocobanana is another must do. All in all, I am ready to do it all again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My wife and I stayed here with 3 three other couples for a week in early March. From the moment you walk through the main entrance you are amazed at the unobstructed view of the Sayulita Bay and surrounding jungle. This house offers three beautiful tiered living spaces followed by dual spiral staircases that lead down to a circular infinity pool that appears to waterfall directly into the ocean. The kitchen and bedrooms were very well designed as was the extensive lighting. We rented golf carts to take us to and from town. They were a great addition. The house staff was very nice and helpful. We will be coming back soon. Don't forget to try all of the little taco stands in town. I think I ate at 12 different taco places and each of them was unique and great.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

While at the villa, I often found myself breathless. Built on a mountainside with an expansive view of the ocean, this is a great place to stay for a vacation. The homes ambiance and décor it provides, weather, views, Mexican culture etc. are so beautiful that it's difficult to put into words. Watch the sunset or take a short walk to the beach (10 minutes.) Take a run. Horseback ride. Enjoy the ocean. Yummy margaritas and tacos with toes are in the sand. Surf. There's a great breaks for beginners or other breaks for the seasoned surfer. Or take a 15 minute walk downtown for great shopping and authentic Mexican food. Don't fret it's a short jaunt back to the villa with beautiful homes, views, and agriculture to enjoy. Get ready to have the best vacation of your life. Many people think they may get sick from the food and water in Mexico. I went with a group of 9 people for 8 days -- no one got sick. Many people know English so it's easy to get by on knowing little or no Spanish. Americans live there too. Sayulita takes American dollars so that's easy if you can calculate the conversion.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My stay at the Villa was like a dream. When I awoke I wondered if I had really been there. The sunsets glorious, the accomodations superior, hard to describe such a beautiful tranquil setting with everything one would possible need. I highly recommend a stay for those wanting to just relax and lay low. It was hard to leave the Villa to wander off to the beach but a nice change to do so and also to get the flavor of the little village of Sayulita. I must return and would definitely stay at this wonderful Villa again. Definitely a retreat environment. Something for everyone.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Words are insuffcient to express the beauty, comfort, magic and joy that this home offers! Every detail, from the plants (the balcony box in the outdoor living area has plants that are outlined in purple and as the sun moves across the sky, that outline becomes a glowing transparancy of purple light), to the the curves of the balcony and staircases, to the pool, to the lighting and the decor, seems to have been created for maximum visual pleasure and comfort. The view is outrageous and the sunsets are orange and magnificent every evening (I made sure not to miss a single one). Two of my favorite evenings were when we had Oscar and Alex come to the house and prepare dinner. I highly recommend this experience, it is wonderful to try local food in the comfort and beauty of the villa's outdoor dining room. On the second occasion a group of three amazing musicians came with the chefs to perform music with guitars, drums, a flute and a harp. They had beautiful voices and their ballads in Spanish gave us goosebumps. To look out over that view in this magnificent home, watching the sun set, sated with traditional cuisine while being serenaded by the voices of angels, is something quite unforgettable. The town and beach are an easy ten minute walk down the hill and although I originally thought that no one would be able to pry me out of that beautiful house, I was thrilled that someone was able to, because the village is truly delightful. Everyone is genuinely friendly, not angling for a sale or sizing you up, but honestly friendly. Each evening many Mexican residents go to the Plaza with their children and stroll around, fire dancers show up later in the evening and there is a wonderfully festive atmosphere to the town. It is a small village with cobblestone streets and many artistic little shops and eateries. We had a favorite little restaurant on the beach with adjustable lounge chairs, where we would get Margaritas and beer with Michelle or Gio serving us and vendors with all manner of jewelry, bags and blankets passing by and the water just a yard or so away. There is live Salsa music at Don Pedro's on Monday nights, which we likewise enjoyed. The entire week was divine! Nine woman in one house for seven days can be a volatile mix, but everything about the home, the beach and the town either lulled us into a happy oblivion or jazzed us into a festive mood where joy was the only option. I simply cannot recommend this home or this town highly enough!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

If you want a fantasy like vacation experience, then this is the rental for you. I always keep my expectations low when looking at pictures online. No pictures can do this property justice - it is absolutely breathtaking. We took the short walk into town and down to the beach everyday, but I really just wanted to stay at my beautiful villa. We had a group of 9 and there was plenty of room for all. I can't recommend this property enough and I can't wait for my many return trips. Hasta luego!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Apple and Almond Layered Pancake Cake
Thin pancakes layered with almond filling and sweet apples, this dessert manages to toe the line between homey/rustic and elegant. It's also not overly sweet so it seems just as appropriate for breakfast as it does for dessert. The sour cream gets baked into a nice and tangy top crust. The original recipe used thick, fluffy pancakes, but since I had extra palacsinta from breakfast, I decided to use thin pancakes instead. In the end, I think the thin pancakes would be preferential anyways. Otherwise I imagine the cake getting a little too dry and doughy.
Just like yesterday's recipe for pancakes stuffed with a sweet walnut filling and topped with chocolate rum sauce, I think that a bunch of different nuts could work, so feel free to experiment. You could also double the amount of apple if you'd like a strong apple flavor.
Almond and Apple Layered Pancake Cake
* 4 palacsinta (or 4 crepes, using your favorite crepe recipe), the same approximate size as your springform pan
Almond and Apple Filling:
* 3 eggs, separated
* 1/4 cup powdered sugar
* grated zest of one lemon
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 cup ground almonds
* 1 baking apple, peeled
* 3/4 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease an 8-9" springform pan.
Prepare the filling by whisking the egg yolks and powdered sugar until smooth and thick Stir in the grated lemon zest and sugar. In a separate medium bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy and the whites begin to hold shape and then fold them into the egg yolk mixture. Then fold in the ground almonds. Combine gently but thoroughly.
Place a pancake on the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Spread about one-third of the almond mixture on top of the pancake. Cut about one-third of the apple into thin slice and press the pieces into the almond filling.
Repeat the process twice more and then top with the final pancake. Spread the sour cream evenly across the top and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, cut into wedges and dust generously with powdered sugar.

Stayed here for a week , good value for money and within walking distance of gondola. Room was perfect. Didn't try the food, but everything else spot on. Hotel was clean. Skiing was great. Staff could be friendlier, however they were perfectly polite. Would go back as my main concern was the location which was great.

Hi leadley,
This also happens ocassionally with set-top boxes as well. Sometimes setting it to previous or next day can help restore the listing, and even switching to the appropriate channel can do it as well. It is not a fault of your computer or the media card, rather that is just how things sometimes are at the moment. Hopefully, this should improve when the UK has totally switched over to digital. At the moment, most transmitters radiate both the digital and analogue signals, with the analogue ones being much stronger. Sometimes, under certain conditions, this can mean that the analogue signal can cause problems with the digital signal leading to various symtoms such as incomplete program listings and ocassional pauses in the actual programs. As FreeView uses the airwaves, it is also susceptible to atmospheric conditions, although not to the same extent as analogue. When the analogue signal is finally turned off in 2012 the digital signals should be stronger and more reliable as they will be able to utilise the full power of the transmitters.

Danny has been the driving force behind many of the great innovations within the Mises Academy. He came up with, and implemented, the live class lectures and Q&A sessions. He also works very closely with all of the students troubleshooting problems and even answering academic questions. This close relationship he has with the students allows him to be acutely aware of what subjects are in demand; as a result, he has been able to create some of the most popular courses and find the perfect professor to teach them. Coming up with ideas for new courses that will be in demand is no small task, one must have a finger on the pulse of the market to know what will succeed and what will be a flop – fortunately, the Academy has yet to have a course that was a flop.
Danny is also an indispensable resource for the professors, who all have busy careers outside of the classes they teach within the Academy. He works very closely with each professor, emailing or calling them on a near-daily basis to ensure that everything will be perfect for the students. Tom Woods wrote that, "The Mises Institute is extremely lucky to have Danny," and he couldn't be more right. David Gordon has even suggested that Danny's depth and breadth of knowledge is such that he needs to be teaching a course of his own.
Danny is absolutely critical to the success of the Mises Academy. So I hope that everyone who has been lucky enough to take a class and benefited from his tireless labors will join me in wishing him a very happy birthday and thank him for everything he does to keep the Academy perpetually marching forward.

Union Market takes the charge seriously, calling it not only "outrageous" but "absolutely outrageous." The owners have begun an internal investigation while denying any wrongdoing on their part. "It's not as if they order one thing and are sent another," the meat supplier countered. "They know exactly what they're ordering and buying, and it's there on the invoice."
While shoppers wait to find out the truth, there is one surefire thing they can do to make sure they never eat meat that's not all natural or pumped full of chemicals again—go veg!

A Jenkins plugin to visualize Jacoco code coverage reports
Ognjen Bubalo
Short description: JaCoCo is a tool which generates code coverage reports based on Java unit tests. The project is about writing a Jenkins plugin to visualize JaCoCo code coverage reports.
Additional info: https://github.com/jfuerth/emma-plugin/tree/jacoco
Proposal to JBoss Community
Aim of the project:
Write a Jenkins plugin to visualize JaCoCo code coverage reports. Add a solution for creating series of snapshots of Java coverage data over time, so the developer can track the code coverage trends and have more information about the project. The enormous Java community needs a critical tool like this.
Usage of tools which helps determine the status of a growing software are very important. We need to test the software as much as we can. Nowadays writing tests became an inseparable part of software development. Also we need to know how much code is being tested.
I am very interested in Java programming and I have experience in developing and maintaining Continuous Integration systems, so I was very excited when I found the JaCoCo project. JaCoCo is a tool which generates code coverage reports based on Java unit tests. It's being positioned by its author as the successor to Emma.
Every build has to be tested, and this should be done automatically. Jenkins is a Continuous Integration framework which helps us in the automation. Obviously it would be very helpful if Jenkinks could pickup the results and generate reports from the coverage data generated by the JaCoCo. The JaCoCo plugin for Jenkins is a fork of the well known Emma plugin. It is an open source software, and it would be an honor and of course a huge experience if I could develop a software used by a big community.
Currently the Jenkins plugin is not ready. I would like to make some improvements to bring the software to a more stable version and to finish the switching from the Emma plugin.
These improvements are:
- Fix the failing unit tests and add new tests into the testset.
- Make the build automation easier. Create and configure a Jenkins project for JaCoCo.
- Replace the existing Emma line-by-line coverage report with the JaCoCo one (leveraging the existing functionality in JaCoCo's Maven plugin).
- Ensure all JaCoCo data is stored in Jenkins history (presently, only the intersection of JaCoCo and Emma datapoints are stored).
- Continuously refactor the code. Clean up code related to Emma, features not present in JaCoCo.
- Rename the packages (emma to jacoco) to avoid problems in systems that use both plugins.
- Test the plugin on existing open source projects.
- Prepare the code for further development, add more javadoc comments.
- It would be good to develop a standalone tool also, using Eclipse JDT features, to add hyperlinks into the line-by-line coverage reports (go to definition, find usages, etc.).
I think the challanges for me during the course of this implementation will be the following:
- Get familiar with the code.
- Understand all the needs.
- Upto May 21: Understanding all the needs and getting familiar with the code.
- Target 1 (1-2 weeks): Testing the current software to find major bugs. Making the build automation easier. Creating a Jenkins project for JaCoCo.
- Target 2 (6-8 weeks): Iterativly writing new tests, implementing the code, refactoring and reviewing.
- Target 3 (2 weeks): Testing the plugin on existing projects. Continuosly fixing the bugs. Deploying a major release.
- Target 4 (1 week): Last minor modifications, testing, adding more javadoc comments.
About Me:
My name is Ognjen Bubalo, I am 22 and I live in Budapest, Hungary. I live here since 1992. My home town is Sarajevo.
I am currently doing my Msc at Etvs Lornd University, Faculty of Informatics. I am also a Software Engineer in a multinational company (Nokia Siemens Networks). Currently I am developing and maintaing the company's Continuous Integration system. It is an internal tool, but I have also tried the capabilities of Jenkins(Hudson) and CruiseControl. Maven technology is also familiar to me (Bsc thesis). I have some experience in tools used to determine code coverage, because I had to maintain the company's tool used for coveraging its special programming language called TNSDL.
I like programming in Java very much. Beautiful code can be written in Java. I am also very interested in build automation, code integration in big projects. In my opinion working on an open source project is the best thing a programmer can do.

Authorities are trying to determine whether a human head discovered on the banks of a canal Sunday is related to a disturbing Fort Lauderdale case earlier this month in which a man was cut up and portions of his body were encased in cement.
Shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday, an employee of Millions of Parts, an auto parts store, was using a backhoe to clean the banks of the Dania Cut-Off Canal, near the 800 block of Old Griffin Road, when he found what appeared to be a human head, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office dive team spent much of Sunday searching the canal for more evidence.
Stay on top of the news: Get breaking new alerts sent directly to your phone
Homicide detectives are conferring with Fort Lauderdale police to see whether there is a connection to the gruesome Nov. 6 discovery of the mutilated body in the waters off Northeast 26th Street and Federal Highway.
In that case, a homeowner noticed a floating container filled with concrete and tethered it to a dock to dispose of, only to discover a shoe sticking out of it. Police have not said what parts were found.
The victim is said to be a white adult male, possibly nearly 6 feet tall, who was wearing a size 10 sneaker.
The Sheriff's Office released a statement Sunday saying it's too early to tell whether the head in Dania Beach is that of the Fort Lauderdale victim.
Officials ask anyone with information to call BSO Homicide Detective Jeff Kogan at 954-321-4210, or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-8477.

Last week we came across this interesting post written by David Booth on his blog The Recording Booth.
The post brings in to discussion the sticky topic of playing for nothing and whether or not it is good for musicians. Thanks to David for allowing usto re-publish it in full on our website, so here it is…
Just this week I had an unexpected, but very interesting facebook chat with a great musician and all-round good chap called Terry Crouch. I know him from my days in and around the Chelmsford / mid-Essex acoustic scene where he puts on some good 'showcase' nights for up & coming singer/songwriters. I also had the pleasure of recording him and singer Lucy Lawson a wee while back (go check 'em out at http://www.lucylawson.com/acoustic_h.html). Anyway, this conversation brought up the thorny issue of playing for nothing. We didn't have any big new ideas or conclusions, but I do think this sort of thing needs debating more. So, here's how it went…
Want a spot at one of my Black Bull Acoustic nights? Sadly unpaid, but a good platform..
Hi Terry. Thanks for the offer old bean. I'm guessing the 'sadly unpaid' is not under your control, but it's something I really don't agree with unless it's an open mic. Are the bar staff working for free? Nope. Then why should the entertainers who bring people in to the pub? You do loads of great work for up and coming musicians mate and are a fine guitarist, so I'm not having a go at you. Just the situation you find yourself in. We don't expect fortunes, but every performer should get something… in my humble…
Understood, but such is the nature of these 'showcase' nights.. this one happens to be rated as one of the best around. I go to the lengths of providing 'live performance' videos which get banded around quite successfully afterward, along with quality photographic portraits that many use for their advertising and even their album/CD artworks.. so, although you're not getting paid in 'folding stuff' as such, at least these nights are very good platforms for people getting their music out there, plus you get a vid and a photo for good measure. Plus (and don't take this personally please!!), if nobody's heard of you, how do you expect to get a name for yourself without playing anywhere? This is not aimed at you personally, as I know you and know some of your stuff, but many do not – that's what I'm here for.. I ran the acoustic stage at The Fling last year, and will be running the same stage at the Olympic Relay Event at Hylands Park in 3 weeks time, where there's 15000 potential new fans.. and none of the acts are doing it for money. I know, as a musician, that it isn't entirely the way we want things, but such is the nature of the way things go. I know you're good Dave, and would want others to see that!
Thanks for your thoughtful reply Terry. So many things I want to pick up on I hardly know where to start. I know I'm no Ed Sheeran, but does that still mean working musicians like you and I should play for nothing? Not even some travel expenses? Not sure. As for the excellent services you provide for people playing your gig, that is indeed worth something… but I do hope you are getting paid! I'm just not sure it's healthy to put a zero value on what we do mate. And yeah, it does come down to folding stuff in the end. Pays for new strings and kids shoes! I guess we can all *choose* to play for nowt and considering the photo/video extras you provide, arguably we wouldn't be playing for free. Hmmm. More thought required but I'm now thinking this discussion should differentiate between amateur activity and professional activity. Later perhaps.
Totally with you Dave.. and wish I had the power/position to change it!
Enter James Partridge for the final word for now…
Over at LATI (Live At The Institute, Kelvedon) we charge enough on the door so that we can pay everyone. It works, people still come and everyone gets paid. But we set our stall out like that from the word go, and it was ever thus.
Thanks again to David Booth for letting us re-publish this conversation on our website. We would really like to know what you think about this idea: do you think playing for free is OK? What are the benefits and what are the risks / limitations?
About David Booth
Musician first, songwriter, engineer and producer later. I started playing cornet at the age of 4 and didn't realise until much later just how much I learned during my 'brass band' years: melody; harmony; counterpoint; and that listening is as important as playing. I've long-since given up the brass, but now have drums, guitars and vocals in my musical tool box, all of which I've done at a professional level both live and in the studio.

When properly applied, GW 4300 All Purpose Structural Adhesive provides impact resistant bonds to Natural Stone, Quartz and Solid Surfaces
The following instructions will help ensure that you achieve the highest possible bond strength and performance when using GW 4300 All Purpose Structural Adhesive to fasten a bolt in an undermount application.
It is critical that the area for bonding be free of moisture and any remaining slurry left from the quarrying process. For Natural Stone applications, a diamond cup wheel can be used to grind the area that you are going to bond to. It is not enough to simply wipe away dust with alcohol or acetone. To remove moisture, a weed burner, torch or heat gun may be used on porous stones. A final wipe with acetone or denatured alcohol will ensure a clean surface and the best performance.
The area for bonding must be free of moisture and any other contamination. To increase adhesion, scuff the area with a medium grit paper before cleaning with acetone or denatured alcohol. Always ensure that the area is clean before proceeding.

Tragic death
Dear Editor: Thank you for printing the story of the tragic death of Susan Valerie Cashion, a 70-year-old resident of Palo Alto and former director of Stanford University's Dance Division. A friend of mine was on the southbound Caltrain that hit her at Charleston Road on Thursday morning. Her death has been ruled a suicide.
I hope the city works with Caltrain, VTA and other funding entities to secure funds to do a grade separation at this road crossing, known for a rash of high school suicides in recent years.
It's a sad testament of our times that train crossings may be as likely to be the scene of suicides as they are with collisions with vehicular traffic. Making the track at these crossings essentially inaccessible to pedestrians by doing a fly-over, as was just done with multiple intersections in San Bruno, saves lives -- whether the death be accidental or intentional.
Irvin Dawid,
Better representation
Dear Editor: San Mateo County is going to elect supervisors by district, instead of countywide. The new districts should be compact, unlike the one I live in. Here in Pacifica, our last two supervisors have lived in Menlo Park and Redwood City, respectively -- as far away as possible.
It seems that when the current districts were drawn, after the preferred cities were chosen, they looked around for some "ballast" to bring the district population up to the required number and threw in Pacifica.
Having local supervisors matters. For example, a big issue here in Pacifica is the controversy over widening Highway 1. "Our" supervisor, Don Horsley, endorsed the widening even before there were any public hearings or an EIR.
A local supervisor might have waited to hear what his constituent neighbors think. For better representation, the new districts should no longer be stretched out in gerrymandered fashion.
Bill Collins,
Dear Editor: When I open the paper, I see that Palo Alto intends to destroy those struggling to make ends meet, living in their cars and merely trying to survive. Cubberley Community Center provided toilets and showers until the city council shut them.
Then I turn the page and see houses listed for $2.5 million up to nearly $20 million and I am disgusted. We have so much and yet we continue to heap scorn and disgrace upon those who don't. Both the Holy Quran and the Bible tell us to take care of those who have less; we are doing just the opposite.
"If you don't have a lot of money we don't want you living here," is the message the Palo Alto City Council is sending to these people.
James Thurber,
Mountain View
Cubberley situation
Dear Editor: I am increasingly bothered by what is happening with the Cubberley Community Center's overnight parking situation. I hope that someone has posited something like the following, but if not, I list a few potential alternatives:
Essentially treat it like a homeless shelter; specify hours for entry; put up a parking garage-like system with a gate activated by a pass card; give pass cards to these overnight parkers with a system to register the license plates and pair them with the card so the card cannot be passed along to anyone else; use video recorders to keep an "eye" on the area; forfeit the card of anyone caught abusing the privilege; open the showers.
I speak as someone who saw one of her very best friends in such a terrible situation. Her husband just dropped her and their five children, not because he could not afford alimony or child support, but because he was mean. She and her five children lived in their car, going from one friend's house to another. Her parents were dead and her brother bipolar.
Granted, this is not always the case with the homeless who choose to "live" here, but we cannot presume to judge their situation. The present situation is just not tolerable, and why in heaven's name is anyone even thinking about issuing a prohibitively expensive fine, let alone incarceration?
Mimi Kugushev,
Menlo Park
American society
Dear Editor: Failure to approach closing the gaps in educational attainment, income and family net worth in American society in 1963 illustrates a truth. Over 50 years and two full generations, most of the width of these gaps persist.
This society cannot further close these gaps while allowing employers to have access to cheap high-tech and menial labor. We have done the experiment.
Raymond R. White,
Mountain View
Dear Editor: The analysis by Harvard professor Jack Goldsmith of what the president is proposing is vitally important reading to every citizen.
He compares this to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, stating first that the proposed Authorization for Use of Military Force authorizes the president to use force "in connection with" the use of weapons of mass destruction in the Syrian civil war. (It does not limit the president's use of force to the territory of Syria, but rather says that the use of force must have a connection to the use of weapons of mass destruction in the Syrian conflict.)
Second, the use of force must be designed to "prevent or deter the use or proliferation" of weapons of mass destruction "within, to or from Syria" or to "protect the United States and its allies and partners against the threat posed by such weapons."
Third, the proposed Authorization for Use of Military Force gives the president final interpretive authority to determine when these criteria are satisfied, "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate." Fourth, the proposed Authorization for Use of Military Force contemplates no procedural restrictions on the president's powers, such as a time limit.
We must not allow the president to commit our country to a set of circumstances that could spiral completely out of control.
Timothy Kral,
Los Altos

Regency Flip-Flop Folding Writing Desk
Perfect For My Need D. Wagner from Anderson I bought this for the purpose of tele-work. I work 2 days a week from home and this is perfect. I assemble and disassemble each time in a matter of seconds. I did not use the glue on the pegs as was instructed and only used the allen wrench latches the first time I used the desk. The desk is still sturdy without the latches and this allows for quick assembly/disassembly. For the price, it has met my every need and exceeded my expectations. |
Love This Desk! Christine Davis from Des Moines, IA– Verified Buyer– Top 50 Reviewer Easy to assemble. Skip the glue if you want to fold it up sometimes. Makes a small room look spacious. Nice finish. Great price. |
Poor design Dianna from Spokane, WA– Verified Buyer This is a pain to put together and does not easily break down and fold up to put it away. It can be taken apart for storage if you use an allen wrench but then you have the pain of needing one to put it back up. From the description I was expecting something more portable and easy to use. Don't buy this if you aren't looking to permanently set it up. |

FOR THE PAST five weeks, growing numbers of Syrians have been gathering in cities and towns across the country to demand political freedom — and the security forces of dictator Bashar al-Assad have been responding by opening fire on them. According to Syrian human rights groups, more than 220 people had been killed by Friday. And Friday may have been the worst day yet: According to Western news organizations, which mostly have had to gather information from outside the country, at least 75 people were gunned down in places that included the suburbs of Damascus, the city of Homs and a village near the southern town of Daraa, where the protests began.
Massacres on this scale usually prompt a strong response from Western democracies, as they should. Ambassadors are withdrawn; resolutions are introduced at the U.N. Security Council; international investigations are mounted and sanctions applied. In Syria's case, none of this has happened. The Obama administration has denounced the violence — a presidential statement called Friday's acts of repression "outrageous" — but otherwise remained passive. Even the ambassador it dispatched to Damascus during a congressional recess last year remains on post.

John Brown (May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was the first white American abolitionist to advocate and practice insurrection as a means to the abolition of slavery.
- These men are all talk; What is needed is action — action!
- Remarks at the New England Anti-Slavery Convention (May 1859), quoted in William Lloyd Garrison by Wendell and Francis Garrison
- You had better — all you people at the South — prepare yourselves for a settlement of this question, that must come up for settlement sooner than you are prepared for it. The sooner you are prepared the better. You may dispose of me very easily, — I am nearly disposed by now; but this question is still to be settled, — this negro question I mean; the end of that is not yet.
- Interview (19 October 1859) [1]
- In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted, the design on my part to free the slaves... [The Bible] teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. It teaches me, further, to "remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them."... I believe that to have interfered as I have done as I have always freely admitted I have done in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right.
- Speech to the Court at his Trial, after his conviction, 2 November 1859
- Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit; so let it be done! Let me say, also, a word in regard to the statements made by some of those connected with me. I hear it has been stated by some of them that I have induced them to join me. But the contrary is true. I do not say this to injure them, but as regretting their weakness. There is not one of them but joined me of his own accord, and the greater part of them at their own expense... Now I have done.
- Speech to the Court at his Trial, after his conviction, 2 November 1859
- I am gaining in health slowly, and am quite cheerful in view of my approaching end, — being fully persuaded that I am worth inconceivably more to hang than any other purpose.
- Letter to his brother Jeremiah (12 November 1859), appearing in Life and Letters of John Brown (1885)
- I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done.
- This was writen on a note that he had at his execution (2 December 1859), most sources say it was handed to the guard, but some dispute that and claim it was handed to a reporter accompaning him; as quoted in John Brown and his Men (1894) by Richard Josiah Hinton
- This is a beautiful country.
- Last words, quoted by Hinton
Quotes about BrownEdit
- While I cannot approve of all your acts, I stand in awe of your position since your capture, and dare not oppose you lest I be found fighting against God; for you speak as one having authority, and seem to be strengthened from on high.
- Letter from "Christian Conservative" in West Newton, Mass., quoted in the Annual Report of the American Anti-Slavery Society (1861)
- I looked at the traitor and terrorizer with unlimited, undeniable contempt.
- Diary of John Wilkes Booth, quoted in The Secret Six (1997) by Edward Renehan
- One of the most marked characters, and greatest heroes known to American fame.
- Frederick Douglass in Life and Times (1881)
- His zeal in the cause of my race was far greater than mine - it was as the burning sun to my taper light - mine was bounded by time, his stretched away to the boundless shores of eternity. I could live for the slave, but he could die for him.
- Frederick Douglass, address at the 14th anniversary of Storer College (30 May 1881) [2]
- That new saint, than whom nothing nothing purer or more brave was ever led by into conflict and death, — the new saint awaiting his martyrdom, and who, if he shall suffer, will make the gallows glorious like the cross.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Courage", lecture at the Boston Music Hall (8 November 1859)
- It is possible that the execution of John Brown might consolidate slavery in Virginia, but it is certain that it would shatter the whole American democracy. You save your shame, but you destroy your glory.
- Victor Hugo, open letter (2 December 1859) quoted in a biography by his daughter Adèle
- [H]e done more in dying, than 100 men would in living.
- Harriet Tubman, as quoted in Larson, Kate Clifford (2004). Bound For the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero. New York: Ballantine Books. p. 177. ISBN 0-345-45627-0.
John Brown's BodyEdit
- There are many versions of this song, all to the tune later used for Battle Hymn of the Republic
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave,
But his soul goes marching on.Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
His soul goes marching on.He's gone to be a soldier in the Army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the Army of the Lord,
His soul goes marching on.Chorus:
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back,
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back,
His soul goes marching on.Chorus:
John Brown died that the slaves might be free,
John Brown died that the slaves might be free,
His soul goes marching on.Chorus:
The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down,
The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down,
His soul goes marching on.Chorus:
- John Brown by William W. Patton
Old John Brown's body lies moldering in the grave,
While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
But though he lost his life while struggling for the slave,
His soul is marching on.John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave,
And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save;
Now, though the grass grows green above his grave,
His soul is marching on.He captured Harper's Ferry, with his nineteen men so few,
And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled through and through;
They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew,
But his soul is marching on.John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see,
Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be,
And soon throughout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free,
For his soul is marching on.The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view,
On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue.
And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on.Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may,
The death blow of oppression in a better time and way,
For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day,
And his soul is marching on.- Some versions, instead of "nineteen men so few" sing "nineteen men so true." Some versions sing "themselves the traitor crew" as "themselves the traitorous crew." Some versions sing "with it's flag red, white, and blue" as "with it's flag o' red, white, and blue" and some read "of" instead of "o'". The word soul is sometimes replaced with truth. [4]

Latin Flair Spotlight and Giveaway – Daisy's Holiday Cooking
You all know I have tons of love for Chef Daisy Martinez and interviewing her earlier this year was a true privilege and honor. Back then I learned that on the heels of publishing her second cookbook, Daisy: Morning, Noon and Night she was already working on the manuscript for her third, Daisy's Holiday Cooking, which was released just a couple of weeks ago.
What I love most about Daisy is the authenticity she brings to Latino cooking. Whether you come from the Caribbean, Central America, South America or Spain, Daisy manages to capture the true and varied flavors of Latino cuisine in easy to follow sassy recipes that pack an intense flavor punch.
In her new book, Daisy shares for favorite crowd pleasers that will add a dash of Latin Flair to your holiday cooking all the way from Thanksgiving to New Year's. What's different about this book is that it not only offers fun user-friendly recipes, but also groups them together by menus, ten in all, each with a theme. Every menu comes with a complete preparation schedule and plenty of tips on what can be made hours, days or even several weeks ahead of the party without sacrificing quality.
This season, there's no need to fear or dread holiday entertaining. With Daisy's Holiday Cooking to guide and inspire, you can minimize last-minute kitchen craziness and join in the fun of creating memories while delighting and impressing friends and family.
Thanks to the book's publisher, I have a copy of it to give to one of you! To enter in the drawing, simply leave a comment letting me know your favorite holiday tradition. This giveaway is only open to U.S. residents (sorry). You have until Sunday, November 21, 12pm Eastern to enter. Make sure to include your email address so that I have a way to contact you if you win.
The winner will be announced on Sunday, November 21 when I will also share a sweet treat with you all from the book.
Buen Provecho

Welcome to the forums.
.This is something that has to be fully understood by the staff of an advertising agency, who may need to argue with the marketing department of a client that its marketing policy is at fault and that unless the name, price or distribution of the product is changed, the advertising campaign will sure be useless.
will sure be / will be sure / will be ? Can i say will be without using the sure ?
"will be" or "will surely be"
To make something, no matter how technologically marvellous, and then hope that there are people out there who will buy it, is a risky business.
Can I use there and then out there in the same sentence? Yes - they will sound different. In the phrase "out there", there will be stronger than it is after that..
thanks for the advice. :)

40 CFR 90.319 - NO X converter check.
§ 90.319
NOX converter check.
The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2 to NO is tested as given in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(8) of this section.
Using the test setup as shown in Figure 1 in Appendix B of this subpart (see also § 90.318 of this chapter) and the procedure described in paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(8) of this section, test the efficiency of converters by means of an ozonator.
Calibrate the HCLD or CLD in the most common operating range following the manufacturer's specifications using zero and span gas (the NO content of which must amount to about 80 percent of the operating range and the NO2 concentration of the gas mixture less than five percent of the NO concentration). The NOX analyzer must be in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. Record the indicated concentration.
Via a T-fitting, add oxygen continuously to the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 20 percent less than the indicated calibration concentration given in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. Record the indicated concentration "c." The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout the process.
Activate the ozonator to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to about 20 percent (minimum 10 percent) of the calibration concentration given in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. Record the indicated concentration "d."
If, with the analyzer in the most common range, the NOX converter can not give a reduction from 80 percent to 20 percent, then use the highest range which will give the reduction.
Switch the NO analyzer to the NOX mode which means that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2, O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. Record the indicated concentration "a."
Deactivate the ozonator. The mixture of gases described in paragraph (a)(6) of this section passes through the converter into the detector. Record the indicated concentration "b."
Title 40 published on 2012-07-01
