Ojochal house description
Casa Ylang Ylang is perched high above the blue Pacific, offering splendid ocean and mountain vistas. At more than one thousand feet up, you will enjoy delightful sea sounds and cooling mountain breezes.
Awaken to toucans raiding the papaya and banana trees. Parrots, hummingbirds, and other wildlife we haven't totally identified, thrive in the lush tropical foliage.
Several excellent restaurants are located in and around Ojochal, as well as all desired creature comforts. Nearby beaches include lovely Playa Tortuga (within view), Playa Ventanas (with 5 caves), Uvita's Whale's Tail, and the Marina Ballena National Park. Within 90 minutes driving are Manuel Antonio (most visited National Park in CR), Dominical (great surfing) and the entire Osa Peninsula experience. Enjoy zip line canopy tours, whale/ dolphin watching, bird watching, kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, sports fishing, etc., or simply cocktails on a choice of verandas as the sun drops below the horizon fifty miles away.
Ojochal de Osa is located along the Costanera Highway 30 minutes north of Palmar Sur Airport. (daily 35 minute flights from San Jose via Naturair or Sansa.) If driving from San Jose, the picturesque trip takes 3 ½ hours.
Warning: You may find yourselves setting an alarm to arise at dawn each day just to absorb ALL of the constant beauty around the remarkable surroundings of this gracious Mediterranean villa. And if you encounter particular problems during your stay, a resourceful English speaking manager resides locally just a phone call away.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and loved it. We were looking for something secluded where we could get away from it all, and we found it. After the first day we had trouble remembering the day and time. Exactly what we wanted. This house is beautiful, perched atop a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean The most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. The town of Ojochal at the bottom of the mountain is charming, & representative of the real Costa Rica. It is basically one main dirt road that runs thru the town, with another road going up the mountain to this and several other houses along the way. The restaurants in Ojochal and the surrounding area are amazing. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!! The road leading up to the house is a steep, winding dirt road & can be tricky without 4WD, especially during rainy season. The house is situated in the jungle with banana and papaya trees on the property, with frequent vists from toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, iguanas, lizzards, giant toads,& geckos. The house does not have air conditioning, nor does it really need it. All rooms have numerous sets of double doors and windows that open, along with fans. Once the rooms are open air, there is a constant breeze blowing thru that makes the house very comfortable. We even had to turn the fan off at night on occasion because it got so cool. Especially loved the verandas and decks, where you can sit outside in the rocking chairs and just enjoy the views, take a dip in the pool, or a nap in the hammock. It was a very relaxing trip. While Ojochal is representative of the real Costa Rica, there is a nice sized ex-pat community that lives here, with quite a few Canadians ad Americans. Ken Stone, the local property manager is of great assistance, and there whenever you need him. He is a super nice guy, and a wealth of knowledge about the area, and will help you with anything that you need. There are grocery stores, butcher shops, restaurants, a small police station, etc all located down the mountain within the community of Ojochal, to meet all of your needs. We felt very safe in Ojochal and at the house itself. The people in town are very friendly, always throwing a smile and a wave your way. I would highly recommend Casa Ylang Ylang if you want to get away from it all, experience the real Costa Rica, all while living in paradise. The views are just majestic, and cannot be properly translated into words, other than "Pura Vida". We will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Having just returned from our two-week stay at CYY, we are tanned and relaxed (sure to be short-lived when the grind re-commences shortly). The property was as presented and is in a great location with wonderful beaches (Playa Tortuga, Playa Uvita, Playa Ventenas, Playa Ballena), and unique restaurants nearby. Exotica and Citrus were our favourite restaurants, and Momma e Pappa was great for casual nite take-out. We enjoyed the villa and the lovely grounds, and the sunsets were breathtaking. Ojochal's temperatures for our entire stay were 97 – 100 and humid, and the wonderful pool was our salvation!! Our only complaint with the accommodations was there was no A/C in the bedroom. Five minutes after stepping out of the shower, we were both drenched. Sleeping was not comfortable – even with all the doors and windows open, and the overhead fan on high. Suggest adding a unit in the BR for future guests' comfort ? Also – the bedroom linens could be nicer and of better quality. The coffee maker was partially broken, as the espresso maker did not work; however, we made drip coffee each morning so got our fix. You won't need an alarm clock here! There is a flock of hundreds of parrots that come to the trees each morning around 5:00 a.m., making their lovely parrot sounds. They return each evening before sunset. We also saw what resembled mini-macaws. Unfortunately, not a monkey in site. It was early to bed and early to rise, as the sun and water wore us out. Ojochal is a village with quite an international flair. We met lovely people from Canada and Europe: for those of you researching for retirement - everyone we spoke with loved living in CR. Adjusting to the horrible off-road conditions and steep inclines was a challenge, but certainly got the adrenaline pumping. You MUST have a 4W to navigate these roads. Main highways are in great shape, however. Saving the best for last, the property manager, Ken Stone, was a doll. Very personable and helpful, and we rested assured knowing he was only a phone call away should we require his assistance in any matter. We very much enjoyed his company. (Of course he paid me to say this …. LOL … just kidding, Ken!!) Wonderful, authentic experience all in all. We came away with great memories, new friends, and are already planning our trip for next year. ?Thank you Diane, and Ken.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

The house was just as described and we were very pleased with our week long stay. We watched many beautiful sunsets and beautiful vistas from the upper balcony. The pool was so refreshing after the hot afternoons on the beach. Everyone should visit the "Whales and Dolphins" restaurant for lunch and a swim in the pool far above the Whale Tail beach. We especially enjoyed the Ventanas beach with the caves and shade of the trees. We had a lot of fun riding horseback to the Nauyaca waterfalls. They served us a great breakfast and lunch. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to experience the real Costa Rica and get away from all the big resorts.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Our two week stay at Casa Ylang Ylang was terrific. Ken, the property manager, was attentive and effective in solving our daily needs. He was pleasant and available, specifically, I had a life threatening accident and he managed the situation well exceeding all expectations. Casa Ylang Ylang was as beautiful as the photos presented. There were times when the water temperature matched the shade temperature with the fans running. It was incredible! We felt private enough to be comfortable skinny dipping. Sky TV and high speed Internet would have improved our ability to stay connected with family and friends. The fifteen minute drive on a bone jarring road with a 4x4 from the highway was harrowing!!!!! We enjoyed "The Dome" restaurant in Uvita, especially the Ginger Curry Chicken. The national parks are amazingly alive with wild life. At Manuel Antonio park we hired a guide, Miguel, for three of us at 7:00 a.m. It would have been an ordinary walk in the jungle without him. He even helped other guides find the exotic animals with a portable telescope.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Manager response: Thanks for not choosing our own mountain for practicing your auto acrobatics. You must have discovered more challenging terrain nearby to blaze that new road down to the highway! At least you now have had an unforgettable vacation experience, plus reinforcing the value of both wearing your seat belt and not declining rental car insurance. High speed internet, you'll find, can be more often an aspiration than a reality. All we can provide is the best high speed internet that is offered in the area. Residents agree that it does have its pura vida moments. Glad that your overall stay was most enjoyable though.

Casa Ylang Ylang was a great place. We had no problem finding it with the help of Ken(Property mgr). He was very helpful in settling us in and acclimating us to the area. The only disappointment and a very minor one was the house could have been a little cleaner. We stayed 10 days and never had a cleaning person come by, but we took care of it ourselves. It wasn't a big deal to us. Otherwise a great trip. I would recommend it. Thanks, Neal and Pam Rosharon, TexasRecommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Manager response: Pam and Neal - so you discovered that pura vida means 'flying critters' in pidgin-Boruca? I'm confident that Ylang Ylang was spotless upon your arrival. Most of us make a two minute broom circuit mornings while awaiting the coffee to percolate. Glad you considered it a minor inconvenience. If needed, always ask your VRBO managers to recommend a charming local cleaning person who will be happy to stop by periodically for a small fee, but you'll find that even Mel Gibson encounters last night's insects too, and does a daily sweep like we all do. Thanks be to easy-care tile floors everywhere, of course, and we appreciate your visit.

We had most wonderful time in Costa Rica at our fantastic rental. We booked this house after reading reviews and doing our research. We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Ylang Ylang, which was a beautiful and perfect setting for us. The villa is situated in the middle of the jungle with beautiful view of ocean and greens. We woke up every day with only birds and animal sounds. Every morning a flock of las Cusingas birds when come by to at the ripest papayas in the front yard making their delightful sounds with their beaks. It was a very peaceful and magical experience with spectacular sunsets each night. I can honestly say it was the best vacation rental we have ever had. With its 270 degree ocean view we could actually hear the pounding of the ocean waves from our gorgeous terrace and bedroom all night long! The owners had everything we needed in the villa from a blender to make the most amazing smoothies with Golden ripe Costa Rican Pineapples (3 for 2 dollars), Papayas and bananas (from the trees on our rental) to the Wi-Fi and large DVD library and books. The villa is right by a charming little town called Ojochal. The beaches nearby were never crowded and very beautiful. We even purchased fresh Mahi and Ahi from a local fisherman on the main road back to our Villa. We really appreciate Ken Stone (property manager) who was there to answer any questions and offer fantastic suggestions. Ken was very helpful and made the rental process smooth. We even had our best and most special breakfast with Ken, and all his local cohorts, right down the road from our Vacation home. Ken would always come right over, on the rare occasion when we needed his help. The house is truly as beautiful as the pictures show. We spent all of our time at the house on the back patio having dinner, playing cards and enjoying the pool. Every morning, and every 2 or 3 hours after that all day long, we would swim in the pool. We also enjoyed our coffee, smoothies and most meals on the terrace watching hummingbirds and butterflies flit from flower to flower with the sound of the crashing surf just off in the near distance. Bliss. I would love to come back again and we are already made plans for next year. Pura Vida!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Manager response: No fair! Don't reveal all our secrets! The calendar is already far too busy to reserve time for ourselves to come and enjoy what you've so elegantly described. The many birds are particularly enchanting all right. It's hard to justify interfering with their enthusiastic pillaging when you can buy a six pound ripe papaya at the local tiendas for only seventy cents, isn't it? Many thanks for your kind words. Like us, you've discovered that the rainy season could also likely be the best time of all to visit the Pacific Sur. Shhh!

Casa Ylang Ylang was a nice base for our week long vacation in Costa Rica. The pictures and description of the home are very accurate. The town of Ojochal we found to be very charming and has exceptional restaurants. The property manager lives in town and was helpful whenever we needed anything including advice on tours.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Casa Ylang Ylang lives up to the breathtaking pictures and more so! My husband and I stayed here for 11 days on our honeymoon and could not have asked for a more perfect setting. Ojochal is right down the hill with wonderful places to eat and other amenities, and yet you still feel secluded from the rest of the world when at the villa. For our honeymoon, all my husband and I wanted was time for ourselves after the craziness of the wedding and Casa Ylang Ylang was all we could have wanted. The spacious rooms and balconies overlooking the ocean provided the most romantic backdrop, while the fully equipped kitchen allowed us to cook for ourselves with ease. AND THE SUNSETS!!! The view looking out over the ocean from our bedroom balcony as the sun set each evening was incredible, pictures don't do it justice. The property manager Ken was wonderful as well, providing extremely detailed instructions for arrival as well as a host of suggestions for things to do, places to each and what to avoid. He is simply lovely! :) He even checked in on us a few days into our stay to make sure everything was how we imagined. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a chance to explore Costa Rica's pacific coast and my husband and I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much Ken for taking such good care of us and thank you Diane for letting us stay in your beautiful villa!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
A TV listing iPhone app featuring thumbnail images rather than text listings, organized and optimized for your individual viewing habits, sounds like the perfect next-generation iteration of the classic "TV Guide" format. Unfortunately, the free Peel iPhone app feels more like a momentary blip on the radar rather than the future of TV listings.
The idea behind Peel is that after filling out a brief survey of the sort of television you like to watch, the app will organize the day's given programs based on what you've suggested. This premise doesn't pay off, however, and instead leaves a cluttered app where shows are separated by genre, but incredibly hard to find otherwise.
For starters, because Peel uses a visual programming guide rather than a text-based one, there isn't a lot of room to list programs. This means that the block of scheduling you get to look at only contains a half-hour's worth of programming. This feels frustrating and inefficient.
As much as I'd like to know what action/adventure shows are on television on Sunday afternoon, I'd like to be able to see more than 30 minutes' worth of options. Having to tap a button to scroll through each half-hour feels clunky and slow.
Listing programs by genre is also a bit of a problem. While I certainly like the option, the idea that there isn't a way to view a programming guide by channel seems strange. Obviously this listing must exist, because the app is pulling in a broadcast schedule from somewhere, but you won't be able to find it on the Peel app at all.
The search function is also limited, only allowing users to search for programs that are airing in the current week. So there is no ability to put a wish list or reminder notification for shows that have aired in the past that aren't currently on television.
I can appreciate the visual approach that Peel takes towards TV scheduling. If the app worked a bit faster and allowed you to see more than a half-hour of programming at a time, it might even be of some use. But as it exists now, Peel will not make television viewing any easier or efficient, and can easily be skipped.

Tonight was programme 2 of the 3 part 'Priest Idol' series on Channel 4. As you'll remember from last week's post the programme is all about reviving a dying church in Yorkshire by means of a new priest, a marketing company and… oh this and that, I forget. Just to say too, while I think of it, Richard is posting about Priest Idol too – he's also written a piece on Spero news entitled 'Priest Idol is hip, but will it bring in flock?'
Tonight's programme started with some fairly low key strategies which sadly didn't seem to achieve a great deal – namely the blessing of people's houses and a churchyard cleanup day. But unfortunately the truth remains that the only times people really seem to come to the church are for baptisms, weddings and funerals.
The marketing guys come a Sunday morning service and decide it isn't very interesting. They go to a local 'cafe church' setup which is more lively and does seem to 'connect' better with the people.
The archdeacon decides a new set of vestments might be the answer.
Eventually the marketing company reveal their strategy. The 'brand' which will be used for the church in Lundwood is 'Church Lite'. Slogans include "Church Lite – its better for you" and "Half the preaching of other leading churches".
But not everyone is in favour. When ex-vicar of Lundwood Father David finds out he's less than keen:
I think its inappropriate, really.
The real battle at this stage though seems to be the PCC. The 'Church Lite' brand doesn't go down too well, and some of the PCC members don't like the new ideas for a meditation space at the back of church.
We use that table for tea on a Sunday.
But eventually it is decided that they will go with the marketing strategy with a grand launch. But will anyone turn up? Find out next week.
I should really be writing for 'TV Quick' or someone.
So, what did everyone else who was able to see it think? If you've written about it in your blog do leave a link in the comments, though be aware that all comments containing links have to wait to be moderated.

Slow Cooking for Two: Basics Techniques Recipes by Cynthia Graubart

Today You: Notebook
My son is growing so fast, and changing so much every day, that I don't have time to capture everything in a photo, far less make a scrapbook page for everything! I decided that I would keep notes on his milestones and other cute stuff that he does. This way I will make sure to capture the memories. Of course being a scrapbooker any old notebook wouldn't do! I decided to use some digital elements to make my very own notebook from scratch.
To complete this project you will need
Design 365 September Kit by Jen Allyson
Maybe Elements by Deena Rutter
Mat Photo Paper
Pages for your notebook
Bind-it-All or other binding method.
Before getting started decide on the size of your notebook. Mine is 4&3/8 by 6&1/2.
I started out by creating a new letter size document in Photoshop. I then created two rectangle layers using the rectangle tool. The larger rectangle is the size of the book cover. I made the rounded rectangle slightly smaller.
I then clipped pattern papers from the Design 365 September kit to each of these layers. The pencil paper to the larger rectangle, and the lined paper to the smaller one.
I finished off the cover design by adding
(1) the composition notebook label and word art from Design 365 September kit.
(2) the ticket element from the Maybe Element kit and
(3) the title "Today You" using the alphabet from the the Maybe Element kit
I print and cut out the cover onto mat photo paper. This is becoming my paper of choice for printing digital elements! I backed it with cardstock to make it sturdier. Then I prepared the inside pages and cut the back cover out of chipboard.
Then I used my Bind-it-All to create the book. You can use other methods of binding such as binder rings. Another idea is to use a store bought notebook and simply cover up the original cover with your own!
And here it is already in use.
So now if I don't get to scrapbook every tiny detail, I will still have a record. Plus I can rifle through the book for ideas for pages for the photos that I do have.
I'd love to see if you make a book similar to this one!

I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
He said that there was a working-class area of Dublin, that he had lived in, and heroine was wreaking havoc there. This neighbourhood had 7 towers and he felt at the time that there was no escaping from this place.
This might be anachronical as this would have been the early 80's, but one can't help thinking of Veronica Guerin's assassination in 1996 and the movie that was drawn from this event. The movie depicts such an area of the town.

In the first five minutes of a conversation with Piero Rivolta, the Italian industrialist-turned-novelist dismisses two of his greatest claims to fame: sports cars and the label "Renaissance man."
"What does this term mean, Renaissance man?" Rivolta asks in a heavy accent. "People call me this, but I don't understand. Is it that I have a lot of hobbies? That I think outside of the box?"
Yes and yes.
In his hometown of Milan, Italy, Rivolta, 69, is known as the former CEO of IsoRivolta, the luxury sports-car-manufacturing firm he inherited at the age of 26. From the old snapshots of cars lining his office to his decision to drive ordinary Volvos, Rivolta is at once devoted and rebellious.
"I don't care about cars," he says quickly. "I spent all my life making and designing cars, but if I had designed a washing machine, I would be a nobody. And some washing machines are more complicated than cars."
A hopeless romantic, Rivolta had always dreamed of becoming a novelist, but the ambition was cut short when his father, Renzo Rivolta, died at 57, making him one of the youngest car-manufacturer CEOs in the world.
"It was a difficult time," Rivolta says of his mid-20s. "There were so many things I wanted to do, but I put writing on the back burner."
Still, he managed to embark on a number of endeavors.
There were the champion jumping horses he raised on a farm in Tuscany, the spinning mill he operated in Brazil, the real-estate development he dabbled in across Europe and Central America, and the poetry he published in literary magazines.
By his 40th birthday, however, he had sold IsoRivolta and moved to Bird Key, where the water was deep enough to accommodate his sailboat and protect it from prevailing northwest winds.
In Sarasota, Rivolta began developing golf communities, high-rise condominiums and shopping centers. His passion for the arts rekindled and, in 1987, he co-founded La Musica International Chamber Music Festival.
Now much of his business ventures are focused on designing and building yachts, and, as of late, green-certified Key West-style cottages off University Parkway.
"I like to create objects from scratch," Rivolta says. "And I feel very proud when I finish. Sometimes I just squeak by and make no money, but they all survive to the end."
Sitting in his red-walled office on the third floor of his downtown high-rise condominium, Rivo, Rivolta most closely resemble his latest job titles — writer and publisher.
Bearded and sporting a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, Rivolta appears grandfatherly, an Italian Hemingway in a pale-blue cardigan vest, surrounded by dreamy book-jacket illustrations of the sea.
He launched his Sarasota publishing house, New Chapter Publisher, in 2007, shortly before penning his first novel, "Alex and the Color of the Wind," the story of an architect who embarks on a solo sailing voyage in an attempt to discover his true path.
The story, like all Rivolta projects, is not without romance. The protagonist falls in love with a mysterious woman who rekindles his passion for life.
"All the ladies in my books are smart," Rivolta says. "That is not always the case with the men."
Rivolta blushes.
"I like ladies," he says. "When I go to a party, I find myself talking mostly to ladies."
Whether he's enlightened or merely a flirt doesn't matter. Rivolta's novels are heartfelt extensions of the things the writer treasures most — women, sailing, self-actualization and profundity.
"All the most popular books are full of action, which can be very superficial," Rivolta says. "They want to give you a very fast message like you are watching television. I like to write books that examine the human being, what they are thinking, what they are feeling — not only action."
His latest novel, "The Castaway," a sequel to "Sunset in Sarasota," was inspired by some of Rivolta's favorite authors, among them Paulo Coelho and Hermann Hesse.
Unlike writers who agonize over every word, Rivolta says his stories flow fast and with no outline or plan. He always writes his first drafts by hand and in Italian. With the help of a transcriber, whom Rivolta calls "a saint," the work is later translated into English and pumped into a word processor.
"I've got a lot of things in my study," Rivolta says. "It's a kind of a disorganized disaster. I work very good and fast with a fountain pen and piece of paper."
If You Go
Piero Rivolta will sign copies and read excerpts from his latest book, "The Castaway," from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 6, at Media On Main, 1341 Main St.

keeping the momentum
hi guys, i am the "bookerguy" of my own little band. i find it very, very hard to get into gear and talk to promoters, clubowner, bars and such. once in a while i wake up in the morning and feel like "doing it" and then i get into action. but it is not my favourite job. how about you friends? eddie

Friend of Leo's
Around here, (well, just about everywhere I've been), the booker is an ambitious bartender or wait person that thinks it will be fun. It's not.
The usual song and dance for getting a gig involves: Contacting the booker. Calling the club will often get you the name of the booker, sometimes it's even correct. Finding an e-mail, phone number or when that person is actually there is problematic. It usually takes 1-4 days to get in contact. Waiting for the booker to respond. This takes weeks and months. Even if you have the booker's schedule you'll usually piss himoff by showing up during his real job. Sending constant e-mails becomes counterproductive and calling just never seems to work. Selling yourself to the booker. The booker usually has a very narrow view of music and not much business sense. If he likes your music, you're in. If not, it doesn't matter how you did at the club down the street, you'll never get in to his club. However, if somebody cancels and he needs a band tomorrow, you may get a call. Oh, you want to get paid? That's a whole different thread. Right now we're talking to a local club about an August date. This is after we've played there twice with decent crowds. He wants us to get two other bands for the night but won't give us a definite date. So we have to call up friends and say, "well, maybe in August, a Friday or Saturday...or not. And it could be September, but if there's a cancellation it could be next week...Are you in?" Geez, I sound negative.

We really dislike going out and finding work! Fortunately, we're well-established around here, and play the same places every summer, plus we get approached by new venues.
Took a lot of time and work to get to that point, though!!! Tim |

In the unlikely event that I ever join another band the first three full time members will be:
Good drummer. - On time ( both to the gig and at the gig ) and plays the spaces. Competent sound person. - Knows the gear and the materiel and will make things go as smoothly as possible in spite of substandard installed equipment and coked out/egomaniacal installed sound operators. Business/road manager. Hustler. Lives to beat up on hapless owner/bookers. Fee collector. Marketing major. Connected. Where would Led Zep have gone without Peter Grant? The Beatles minus Brian Epstein? - Still flogging 8 sets a night in some smelly German bar? After those slots are filled, then I'd worry about other guitards, singers, etc... The "lets get together and play a bunch and wait for the gigs to come rolling in" approach hasn't worked well so far for me. |

These are so comfortable!
I love these shoes. Bought to wear out to garbage, getting the mail, newspaper, etc. but I have found myself wearing to the grocery store, etc. as I love the way they feel. My feet feel so comfortable. I wear with a thick sock since it is cold up here and just love them! I am usually a wide in shoes but even with a thick sock the width was fine. I had to size up but that's okay, now I know what to shoot for. I may get another color just to have. No stores in this area have the selection like online and I am SO GLAD I was able to purchase. Such a great selection online. Give these a try, they are so great.

Strap is too short
I gave one star for this shoe because the strap is too short. The shoe size is correct for my foot but the strap doesn't extend fully to the back of the shoe. So my foot is pushed up forward into the shoe in order to get the strap around the back of my ankle. It is very uncomfortable and very disappointing because I love the shoe but it doesn't fit me because of the short strap. I love crocs and have other styles but I wouldn't recommend this one.

3 different shoes with 3 totally different fits
Bought 3 pairs...all the same size but different colors. Brown fit perfect, purple fit ok but snug, couldn't even get the navy ones on my foot. WHY SUCH A DIFFERENT FIT FOR SAME SHOE?
Comfort and warmth
These shoes are great! The lining is very soft and warm. The fit is great - just wide enough. They are comfortable enough to wear all day long. My only gripe is that they went on sale right after I purchased them.

Mold, children under 2y, under-aged owner - no formal education
Hidden gem! no signs out the front, walk through a bar, beside a fire pit & taco heaven awaits. I got 2 tacos for and a cup of pozole last night for $8. Fast, cheap & very tasty.
You have the wrong address for Calexico - it is 122 Union Street between Hicks and Columbia!
I always have the best time at Don Hill's who is now featuring Reggae music the 2nd Friday of every month with multiple DJ's! Because they cater to rock music, the sound and lighting systems are totally off the hook. Drinks are extremely reasonable for Manhattan prices and there is plenty of area parking!!! Lot's of nooks and corners to mingle:)
Thanks for recently adding a link to my website: http://www.chitraramanathan.com to your Agora Gallery - Mixed Media Art Resources page.
I'm with you, Best tacos hands down. Amazing shrimp and lengua tacos I had there on tuesday
if bruce springsteen had an orgy and invited the minutemen and the replacements, and out of their union was born an angry baby with a six-pack of schlitz and an eye on the apocalypse, that angry baby would sound like average girl. recommended if you'd like to trade all that lo-fi fake shoegaze for some head-banging finger-twanging indie rock'n'roll.
the food in tacobite is delixcious...nd especially the fried ice cream is excellent! i RECCOMEND THE FOOD TO EVERYBODY.
Jesus this show sounds amazing!!!
this place gets my vote for best burg tacos!

Naked Lunch has been a staple in Soho for years and to this day it still is hands down one of the best places in NYC. The music is always great and the staff friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a no nonsense good time.
I've been going to Naked Lunch for years and love it! I always have a great time there, the music is cool and the people are great..the bartenders and door people are always really cool and friendly. If you want good music and great drinks at very reasonable prices, go here...
This place is awesome!! My buddies and I went there recently. The music and people were a lot of fun! A lot of cute girls too!! The staff was courteous and service was prompt. The bartenders really seemed to enjoy themselves while working. You have to get to this bar early for it can get quite crowded in no time flat. Drinks were priced well considering that its SoHo which was also a pleasant surprise! A great time!!
I started with Sam's level 1 group class and am now taking level 2 private lessons. Throughout my time as a student of Sam's, I've been consistently impressed with his ability to challenge my weaknesses and subtly but meaningfully point out my strengths.
I'll admit that the first day of level 2 I was slightly intimidated by his rule that the classes be taught solely in French but it has really forced me to push myself to understand what's going on instead of just checking out (which is what I do in most educational settings).
But related to that is one of Sam's greatest assets as a language instructor: his patience. He won't just give up on a subject I'm not fully grasping and assign it for homework -- he'll keep asking questions and talking it out until I understand.
So all in all, I would recommend Sam to anyone who has a serious interest in learning French.
I took French in high school, but lost it all in the years since... My husband and I have really fallen in love with France over the past few years and decided we should learn the language. We found Sam through a friend and thank goodness we did! I learned more in Sam's Level 1 class than I did in 3 years of high school French! We were actually speaking paragraphs of information in French by the end of Level 1! Sam is encouraging, motivating and understanding and his homework assignments are not too overwhelming (but still challenging!). The environment of his classroom is intimate, friendly and fun. And his rates are extremely reasonable! Best in the city by far... I would recommend his class to anyone looking to begin, refresh or continue with their French studies.
I have been studying French off and on since high school but never have made it past a level one class. i always felt like I was starting over from scratch! Currently, I am in Sam's Level 2 class and am finding it challenging, fun and accessible. I really feel like I can make progress here, with the encouragement of Sam. He gives very clear explanations and detailed help for studying French. His classes are small, professionally run, entertaining and challenging. He makes us speak a lot to each other, which seems to really be the best way to learn. While learning a foreign language only occurs when you invest a lot of time in it, Sam is helping to keep me on that path, with real expectations and ideas for finding the time to work on it. I highly recommend working with Sam to learn French. He is a gifted teacher.
Long life to Yank36, the food really sucks in this place, with the exception of sandwiches, it just to be a lot better at the beginning.

TGIF! It's been a long week, but I have a couple of sewing finishes.
First, I finished this quick little pouch for a good buddy who is moving away. He loves his little hotdog dog and will have to be away from him for a little bit, so I made him this drawstring pouch and another go to gift-- pj pants! That way puppy will be with him in spirit! Forgot to take a picture of the pj pants, but he tried them on and loves them!
I was also able to finish up my DQS mini. I went for space invaders and used this "pattern" from Elizabeth Hartman. Obviously it's not really a pattern, but using her drawing I was able to figure out how to layout the blocks. I used 1.5" blocks. The I and the heart, I just made based on laying them out. I made these last so I could tailor them to the size of the space invader blocks.
Colors were based off the space invaders fabric which is on the back (and which I forgot to photograph). But they do match... the heart looks a little less green, but it is a candy green and matches better in person :)
For the quilting I tried Amanda Jean's honeycomb quilting. Love it!!! I had this beautiful variegated green thread to try too, but it kept breaking. It was a 12 weight, so maybe it was too thick for my 90/14 needle (I didn't bother to try and trouble shoot as I was getting down to the wire for sending this off). I went back to my normal grey thread and that worked just fine.
I'm usually a hand-binder. I do love the process of hand binding, but I'm also weak at machine binding. Well, new machine means I've got to try out new things, right? So I dug up Rachel's zig zag binding tutorial and it worked like a charm! I will definitely be trying this out again on future quilts, especially since it is a time save and I can manage to do it and have it look nice :)
Final quilty stats:
-space invaders mini: 19"x20"
-pattern: based off Elizabeth Hartman's space invaders
-quilted by me!
-Kona cotton colors used: Willow, Candy Green, Chartreuse, Turquoise and matching tidbits :)
Hope you are enjoying your Friday and again, TGIF!!! Linking up to Finish it up Friday!

I LOVE playing rockin' songs on KHITS in the morning 'cause when I'm crankin' up the studio speakers (...and they are SA-weet!)...I visualize you rollin' down the highway 'equally cranked'! I've been up and down the dial in St. Louis since the mid 80's doing news anchor and talk show host gigs on the AM band. On FM I've been "Rockin' Ricky" (still am!), part of Chase and Sanborn , one of the brothers of The Sanborn Brothers,and the music stations ran the gamut, rock, country, oldies, soft rock, smooth jazz...and here at "The Rock Wall of Emmis" where I'm havin' a blast! This place rocks!
I'm not ABC's John Quinones, the host of a show that shares the title of this blog, but let's put your moral compass to the test. You're following a Brinks truck when the back door flies open and money falls to the road. The driver doesn't notice and keeps going and no one else is on the road with you to see it. You count up the cash and it totals $11,000.00. What would you do? It happened to a woman in her late '40's who lives near Albany, New York. She is the mother of 4, with one child in college and one serving in Afghanistan and she's driving a car with a bungee cord holding her trunk closed due to a broken latch. The woman, Pat Wesner, said she did not hesitate after scooping up the cash. She called police and turned over the money. Brinks thanked Pat, but did NOT give her a reward!

Implicit locks are released when the record is updated on the server.
If the handle passed is an index order handle, the logical record buffer of the index order is modified instead of the table data. The logical record buffer of the index order can be used to build a raw index key in conjunction with calls to AdsInitRawKey and AdsBuildRawKey.
The pucFldName parameter can be passed as the field name itself or as the one-based integer field position. To pass an integer field position for the pucFldName parameter, use the ADSFIELD macro that is defined in ACE.H. For example, to specify the first field in the table, pass ADSFIELD(1) for the pucFldName parameter; to specify the second field in the table, pass ADSFIELD(2) for the pucFldName parameter; etc.

Rheims : Michelin's recommendations
Artistic city, site of coronations, seat of a university, Reims is famous for its cathedral and basilica of St Rémi. It is also the joint capital of Champagne (along with Épernay). Bounded by a belt of boulevards laid out in the 18C, the town (largely destroyed in 1914) has extensive outlying districts which sometimes border the vineyards. Today its liveliest areas are along the rue de Vesle and most notably on the long place Drouet-d'Erlon.

President Obama trying to hold off Mitt Romney with women voters
VIENNA, Va. — President Barack Obama has been wearing a pink wristband in recognition of breast cancer awareness month and his challenger, Mitt Romney, donned a pink ribbon on his shirt during a factory stop in Ohio.
The symbolic gestures are part of a determined competition in the campaign's closing weeks for suburban and working women who could help determine the winner in a series of toss-up states.
Women have emerged as the pivotal voting bloc in the aftermath of the second presidential debate, where Obama and Romney sparred over contraceptives and pay inequality and Romney spoke about reviewing "binders full of women" as governor when he sought to diversify his Massachusetts administration.
Some national polls suggest Obama's longstanding edge with female voters is narrowing, prompting both sides to make an all-out blitz for women.
At the heart of the debate, which is playing out in the suburbs of northern Virginia and in several swing states, is this question: What will most motivate women in the 2012 election?
Romney's pitch is heavily focused on economic issues — his campaign contends that the vast majority of women will respond to pocketbook issues like paying for gasoline or groceries, the need for more take-home pay and how the federal debt might affect their children.
Obama has emphasized a mix of economic and social issues, warning that Romney's vow to repeal the Obamacare health law would hurt women and the Republican would fail to protect abortion rights.
Shirley Jackson, an 82-year-old Republican from Vienna, Va., said she continues to support Romney but is worried about how women perceive him. Jackson said she recently facilitated a discussion about the election at her local Red Hat Society meeting and was struck by how many women in the group said they were turned off by Romney's opposition to abortion rights.
"He has lost a tremendous amount of support among women because of this decision," Jackson said.
Democrats say Romney's views on women's health should be a deal-breaker. Melissa Skelton, 41, a stay-at-home mom from Vienna, said women's health has overshadowed other issues for multitudes of women — and would help the president.
"I'd rather live with a president who struggles with the economy but cares about people," she said.
Romney's campaign is mindful that it does not need to win a majority of women because it maintains a healthy lead among men. But campaign officials say they could severely weaken the president's re-election chances by slicing into the 13-point margin Obama had with women voters in 2008 and picking off support in swing states where women form a majority of the electorate.
Obama's team, meanwhile, is trying to take advantage of the president's personal favorability among women and undermine those voters' trust in Romney.
Ads have highlighted Romney's opposition to federal funding for Planned Parenthood and his shifting views on abortion rights, which he supported in Massachusetts but has opposed during his two presidential bids. The Obama ads end with this tagline: "Women need to know the real Mitt Romney." Abortion-themed ads have been on the rise in recent weeks across the political spectrum, more than tripling in the number of occurrences since mid-September, according to Kantar Media Intelligence.
The campaigns are competing for women in several key suburban markets — including northern Virginia, the Denver suburbs, central Florida and Cleveland's suburbs — while simultaneously appealing to unmarried women and those with blue-collar backgrounds who have been more vulnerable to the slow economic recovery. Obama won about 70 percent of unmarried women and carried about 60 percent of suburban women in 2008, setting a high bar for the president's campaign.

A year ago the Puj Tub was $99 and all the commenters thought it was a big waste of money. I thought it was a great idea for a friend with a small apartment until I saw the price.
But now? It is $39.99. Too late to get it for my friend, but a good thing to keep in mind.
