On Safety and Umbrage
by: Arlene Goldbard on July 7th, 2014 | 1 Comment »
Have you been reading lately about "trigger warnings? "These are alerts to those who find themselves in a college classroom or other public setting, warning them that some of the material they are about to experience may upset them. The idea is that those who have had traumatic episodes – assault, for instance – might experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder if they see or read depictions of powerfully similar and evocative experiences. A piece in the New York Times back in May mentioned The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, and Greek mythology as possible "trauma triggers" identified by on-campus advocates of "trigger warnings." The article has by now acquired nearly 1400 comments, and the conversation still seems to be picking up steam.
When I first read about this, I was reminded of my induction into gender politics many years ago. I fell in love with someone who lived in a collective household, so I moved to Portland to live with him. I had been an activist for years, but mostly in other realms – pro-peace, anti-draft, civil rights – where feminism had made incursions but was still insurgent. I'd read some of its primary texts and participated in discussions with other women, influencing my own life, to be sure. But still, nervous at my initial vetting by some of the women of the commune, I made a major faux pas: the word "chick" was still in current use in my corners of San Francisco, but in the commune, when I referred to "this chick," it dropped like a bomb.
It only took one bomb for me to get the point. Like many children of immigrants, I'm good at picking up and internalizing the customs of the country. So I quickly learned some of them – how to talk and how to dress, things like that. But I balked at others. In a discussion of pre-teenagers, the thought-leader of the household corrected me: I should refer to "junior high school women," not girls. (I never heard anyone say, "It's a woman!" upon learning of a baby's birth, but that doesn't mean it never happened.)

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas promised to continue following the path of the shahid (martyr) at a rally commemorating the late PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) chief Yasser Arafat.
The rally, held at the PA's Mukata compound in Ramallah, marked the fourth anniversary of Arafat's death.
"The Palestinian leadership will continue to follow Yasser Arafat's path until a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is established," Abbas said.
"The path of the shahids - Arafat, George Habash [founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine] and [assassinated Hamas spiritual leader] Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - is the path that we cherish, aimed at upholding the Palestinians' nationalist and sovereign resolutions," he said.
Muslims refer to anyone who gives their life for the cause of Islam (such as suicide bombers) as shahids, which is the highest honor attainable.
Arab Israeli Knesset member Ahmad Tibi (United Arab List - Ta'al) said Arafat should "rise from the grave and lead the Palestinians."
"We miss your kaffiyeh [Arab headdress] - a symbol to all the revolutionaries and freedom seekers worldwide," he said.

Seems like it was yesterday,
when i saw your there,
i was standing infront of your face,
and you walked away,
if only i knew then,
i meant nothing to you...
I wouldn't have felt this way,
i wouldn't be in such pain,
it's like everytime i came,
you didn't see me there.
It's like i don't worth anything...
But when i lied next to you,
i could swear that i felt,
that you loved me too,
i guess it's my mistake,
blaming you,
for all the pain,
i've been going through.
Now i blame myself,
for loving you...
How come i couldn't see,
that you never loved me,
but now that i know the truth,
i still cannot feel complete,
it's like you took a part of me,
you took it away with you...
And now somehow,
i still love you,
no purpose, no sense,
i know you love someone else,
like i still want this pain,
like i want this misery,
it seems that it has become my dearest company...

Don't let hypertension keep you down. Lowering your numbers can be as easy as a drinking cup of tea

It's a simple, inexpensive side dish, and USDA researchers say enjoying one heaping cup daily can help lower your blood pressure in as little as five weeks. Barley's artery-relaxing compounds, including soluble fiber, selenium and manganese, get the credit, says Michael F. Roizen, M.D., author of You: The Owner's Manual.
For best results, buy the less-processed, more nutrient-rich barley that's available at your local health food store. Barley tastes great cooked up like oatmeal or rice, it adds a hearty goodness to soups and stews, and can be cooked, cooled and then tossed with fresh veggies and vinaigrette to make a tasty salad.

PERSPECTIVE: Are higher taxes ahead?
by Ike Trotter
Published: March 25,2012
Tags: Barack Obama, Buffett Rule, Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, U.S. taxpayers
Preliminary talk coming out of Washington, D.C., has it that the wealthiest of U.S. taxpayers could be hit hard if the tax proposals in President Obama's 2013 federal budget become law. Then again, there is always wiggle-room for this being softened by eventual bipartisan compromise. Even so, as currently proposed, it would impact the wealthiest Americans on several fronts
First would be the top tax rate being reset to 39.6 percent for individuals earning more than $200,000 a year and couples earning more than $250,000 per year. Additionally, word has it that the Obama White House would like to see the "Buffett Rule" initiated. According to the February 17th issue of the New York Times, this new rule would impose a 30 percent federal income tax floor for anyone earning more than $1 million a year. And even though President Obama has mentioned this in his speeches, the proposed 2013 budget contains no details of it. As many have heard, Warren Buffett has been quite outspoken in his belief that he and other wealthy American taxpayers are not paying enough in federal income taxes.
Next, according to MSN.com, long-term capital gains would be taxed at 20 percent instead of 15 percent and dividends amassed by businesses and taxpayers in the highest income tax bracket would be taxed as ordinary income at 39.6 percent. Additionally, as a condition of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 the highest-earning U.S. households would e hit with a new 3.8 percent Medicare health care tax on unearned income in 2013. This health care surtax would only affect taxpayers who realize huge amounts of investment income; that being gains exceeding $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for a married couple which would increase the effective tax on dividends to be taxed at 43.4 percent. This tax would also apply to income derived from real estate investments.
Estate taxes could also face a double-whammy with the estate tax exemption being reduced from $5 million per person to $3.5 million and the estate tax bracket being increased to 45 percent from 35 percent.
The big question becomes; how much of this budget draft will make it through Congress? Much of what the President is proposing may not be realized, but with Washington needing to reduce its deficit, many of these changes could end up taking effect. And even though most of these tax increases do not directly affect Mississippi taxpayers, nevertheless, it is always important we keep our eyes open and ears to the ground when tax increases are on the table. It reminds me of the quote from humorist Will Rogers who once said: "the only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
Parting Shot: Many today tire of the doublespeak we get from our politicians in Washington. This is particularly true as it relates to the federal budget deficit and the reality to the fiscal situation as it currently exists. Below is a comparison from a fellow financial advisor in Oregon that puts today's problem with the federal deficit into better perspective:
U.S. Tax Revenue — $2,170,000,000,000
Federal Budget — $3,820,000,000,000
New Debt — $1,650,000,000,000
National Debt — $14,271,000,000,000
Budget Cuts — $38,500,000,000
Note recent Budget Cuts has three less zeroes than the four listed above
>> Now, let's remove 8 zeroes and pretend it's an annual U.S. Household budget
Family Income — $21,700
Family Budget — $38,200
Credit Card Debt — $16,500
Amount Owed — $142,710
Budget Cuts — $385
This puts things in a little clearer light.

Every piece of furniture should tell a story, and Kelly Ramirez's are more colorful than most. "About four years ago, I was doodling in my studio with some old nail polish on a piece of wrapping paper and thought to myself, 'Nail polish would be a great, undiscovered medium to work with for small and large scale paintings.' I went out to buy my supplies and was amazed at all the color options that were available in nail polish." Since that a-ha moment, Ramirez has produced wall art and furnishings — like this coffee table — that are decorated with real nail polish, using hundreds of bottles at times for one piece. She even top coats each piece to seal. Custom pieces are available, so you can match your salon's existing palette.

Salo 2002
Looking back at it, that horrible moment in the Olympics 2002, how do you feel about Salo?
I never blamed Salo for what happened. Sure he had a bad game, no doubt, but he wasn't alone. It was a bad game by most players and they all deserve to take part in the blame. The headlines about Salo in the newspapers were just ridiculous and over the top.
Salo deserves to be remembered as the best Swedish goalie in the era between Lindberg and Lundqvist and the hero of 1994, not as the guy who let in that one goal.
Bah, i agree. He should be able to shoot one or two goal in his own net against the team we where facing and with the team we had on the ice. To blame him is just stupid, the team was bad all over.
Salo was the best goalie we had at the time, sure, he had an awful game, but it was a team loss. The entire team played awful, the same team that made the eventual champions, Canada, look like they didn't know what they were doing.
I think what sealed the deal with Salo's shamefilled legacy however was the 5 goals he let by him in the quarterfinal of 2003 against Finland. When Salo heads to the bench to get swapped out for Tellqvist and gives him the tap on the pads, that's the end of his career to me.
He was a good goalie and took a lot of **** from the media after that game. Too much in my opinion.
It was an awful team effort.
Salo is a great person btw, really nice to speak with, I wish him all the luck with Leksand.
Yeah, always been annoyed by how much crap he got for that game, when it was the whole team that played awful. The game is pretty blurry to me as I never rewatched it, but I vaguely remember him making a big save a little while before the infamous goal and I thought to myself "WTF is the defense doing today?". So he was far from alone.
I will always remember him for the Olympic gold in 1994 and his two shutouts in the 2-game final against Finland in the 1998 World Championship. Not sure if I would put him as the best between the Lindbergh and Lundqvist era (Pekka Lindmark comes to mind), but he's probably top 3 and was for a while the only Swedish goalie to follow in the NHL.
Salo played brilliant in that tournament up until that famous Belarus-goal. He saved Sweden's ass against the Czechs (2-1) in the group stage and was .924 despite the four goals against Belarus.
I will always remember Salo for how he always played at his best on the national team 1994-02.
It happens. It's not like Lundqvist was very good against Slovakia in 2010.
Time is a great healer :)
I never blamed him, it was a very poor game by the whole team and we shouldn't have been in a situation where he couldn't afford make a mistake like that without losing us the game.
Sadly I think that in 20 years or so when there's a lot of new fans that never got to see Salo play he will be talked about for that one mistake.
He was a good goalie. At the very least the best one Sweden had. They should've scored a couple more goals and the defense shouldn't have been so ill-paired...
That incident had meant absolutely nothing if the rest of the team had played decently. Now he became a scapegoat just for the goal being kind of hilarious.

Though planning proposals is our main business, we do get hired several times a year to plan epic romantic anniversary dates. When I first spoke to Ajay about planning his anniversary, I could immediately tell just how much he loved his wife Angeli. The thing that stood out to me the most when I chatted with him was that he said he still believes in the magic that brought them together. Why did that stand out to me? Because Angeli and Ajay have been married for 13 years and together for 20. So many couples stop being romantic and stop believing in what brought them together, and the fact that he said that really warmed my heart. So much so, that I made it the basis of the anniversary date concept.
In 20 years, the couple had done a lot of traveling so first we had them go to a really nice restaurant in Washington D.C., where they had a beautiful 3 course meal paired with wines from different countries they had visited. We had a custom menu created to highlight the wine pairings and memories. Next, Ajay drove home and Angeli was shocked to find a magician in front of the house. The magician performed some tricks and then said he was going to do one last trick and transform the entire house into a magical place. He tapped on the door, Angeli walked in, and that is when she saw it!
The entire home was transformed with petals, candles, and Calla Lilies. On an easel was a gorgeous calligraphed sign that said, "I still believe in the magic that brought us together." A violinist was inside playing romantic music for the couple to enjoy. What did Ajay have to say about how the evening came together?

AB: This ties in with the English slipware enthusiasm that everybody wanted to try, when everybody wanted to embrace it but it didn't sell apparently. So a lot of people - I mean Leach and Cardew and others -started to make stoneware because it was going to go better, apparently. But there is again a wonderful rich warmth in it. It's a nice weight, nicely made ... probably never used, do you think? [video clip ends] Was it bought ...?
MP: Yes, it was bought in 1938, so it has never been used.
AB: Yes, so it was bought from an exhibition or bought from his studio, maybe.
MP: I think from an exhibition.
AB: Yes, it's a very, very nice, full volume, a classic example of its kind. It doesn't touch me at all. No, I can admire it, but not feel for it.
MP: You wouldn't want it?
AB: I wouldn't want it, no. There are pieces of his that I would. There are some plates; there's a bird plate I'm very fond of. I think when he's using colour more, [when] there are different colours of slip and so on, [then I think] there's an economy and gracefulness in the drawing. No, this talks about a time just a bit before mine. I think this would have had vivid meaning as a contrast to what had come before it, [but] its freshness is not there for me. But I can imagine it being there in the thirties.
MP: Do you ever come across students who are turned on by the sort of things we've been looking at?
AB: Yes. Throwing's definitely on the increase in general and the idea of the studio potter is not dying. At the Royal College we've had to buy three or four new wheels and enlarge the throwing room because it's definitely [and] quite forcibly back on the agenda. [This is] not people trying to re-create Cardew or anything, but they definitely buy some of those values. They want a modern version of that whole ethic of the hand-made in everyday use. You know that still is what they're trying to do.

Locanda da Eva closing?!
- lexdevil Nov 18, 2010 05:35 PM
From facebook:
Locanda da Eva--I'm sad to announce that Sunday will be our last day. Please come by for a last meal or two. It's been great, thank you fans.
Damn, I really enjoyed my meals there. Will the location's curse never end?
Damn! For various reasons I never made it over there. Too bad, I was hoping to take some friends to dinner there next month.
It's hard to understand how a restaurant can open and close in just four months -- I would have thought that the business plan would have allowed for at least six months to build some clientele, especially with the holidays coming up.
re: Ruth Lafler
It does seem like a shame but it is a killer business and so few make it a year. Putting out good food is only a part. I feel for the employees, but I have to applaud Robert Lauriston for giving it a shot.
re: Ruth Lafler
Our business plan looked great, we just didn't get the revenues. The economy didn't pick up much, and Giants fever was really tough on places without TVs. Did Zax have a TV in the bar?
re: Robert Lauriston
No Zax did not have a TV. My understanding was Zax was a go to spot for Cal alumni after home games. I could see that many people were drawn to places with televisions during the Giants WS run. The times I went you seemed to be doing a decent business. There were some empty tables but it looked 75-80% full.
re: Robert Lauriston
I meant that IMHO it's a poor business plan not to have enough operating capital to guarantee you'll stay in business at least six months. To bad you couldn't find another investor to give the place a fighting chance.
re: Ruth Lafler
I have thoroughly enjoyed my meals at Locanda da Eva. The food is delicious, creative but also comforting. I thought that the place just needed time and perhaps more aggressive/creative marketing to become a neighborhood favorite.
I have been in the restaurant every night since the word got out about the closing, and will also be in tonight. I agree with fellow chowhounders that, Mr. Lauriston, you did set out to create a beautiful thing. More importantly, the wonderful staff that were drawn to that vision, both FOH and BOH, all put their hearts and souls into the place and really made the memories of the food, wine and good times that everyone else has been lamenting about possible.
So if you are stopping by tonight to enjoy the last night at the restaurant, thank Mr. Lauriston for his vision and giving it a 4-month attempt, but more importantly, tip your hats to the servers and the kitchen crew, who continue to rock the show, putting out good food and creating a great ambiance despite being stripped fo their dreams of building a great restaurant and facing the uncertainty lying ahead in their lives.
Yet even with a solid crew and beautiful food, Loconda da Eva is being denied a chance to simmer and grow. Mr. Lauriston, I certainly applaud you for taking that big first step to owning a restaurant (and as a former entrepreneur, am sorry for your financial losses), but I wish you had the foresight and appetite to stick with it for just a bit further. You opened knowing that it was still a lousy economy, a good business plan should have been able to weather the week of slow business brought on by the World Series, and anticipate the typically slower holiday season. What was your marketing plan? Did you have an exit strategy? Perhaps appealing to more investors? A good business plan would have forecasted and provided such possibilities, and not resulted in a hasty closing. Good luck to you, Mr. Lauriston. And finally, thank you, Chef Huw & crew and GM Matt & staff. I am looking forward to my one last meal at a great restaurant.

re: sylv_wu827
In a perfect world, the good folk at Locanda da Eva would have had another six-months or so to noodle the details and come up with a formula that met backers' expectations. Things didn't work out that way. Robert, others had to call it like they saw it.
I enjoyed my one visit. I was impressed by the brevity of the menu, the wonderful execution and the friendly staff. The wine list was exemplary.
My modest take is that I hope the participants in the initiative build on the knowledge they gained. It would be a pity to consign hard-earned lessons to the dust bin.
just my $0.02.
Locanda da Eva
2826 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705
re: Ruth Lafler
The formula is at least a year or more of working capital in reserve.
re: monku
I don't have a business background, but it was obvious even to me that four months was not enough time to build a business.
sylv_wu827 -- you said almost word for word what I was thinking after my meal at Locanda de Eva last night. I didn't want to get into a "blame the victim"/second guessing kind of discussion -- obviously Robert put a lot of time, energy, thought and money into this venture and has to be disappointed that it has failed -- but I was really touched when our waitress said that closing was "heartbreaking."
re: Ruth Lafler
You are absolutely correct. This is a huge disappointment, and Robert must feel it the most deeply. Thank you for your vision and I truly applaud you for your efforts.
re: Ruth Lafler
There's a million things that can go right and wrong. Sometimes you take a shot even without the backing you know you need, or you have the backing but it goes soft, there's a million possibilities. Sorry to see LdE close before I got up there - just not visiting that part of town much.
what a bummer! I liked the food, the very little i had.... was looking forward to going again!
I know you can't blame it all on this, but it really is a crummy location. It just feels so isolated. then again, location location location.... truly bummed out for Lauriston.
They are taking reservations for these last few nights. To those who liked (or would have liked if they'd gotten there in time [that means you, Ruth]), the everything-well-executed menu, the remodeled space with whimsical teacup-and-saucer fixtures, the blister on the wood-oven pizza crust, the stylish cocktails, the Sunday hours: please go by and enjoy this final week-end and thank Robert for a great effort.
re: dordogne
I wish I could. Leaving for Chicago tomorrow. Definitely would have gone this weekend if I were in town.
re: dordogne
waiting to hear from a friend, if she says yes, we're hitting the 10 p.m. happy hour at the bar. i really liked that pizza.
re: dordogne
The minute (last night) that I read of Locanda's closing I made a dinner reservation for tonight via Open Table. There were virtually unlimited times available for all three nights. So . . . you should all go not only to vote for the food with your feet but to thank and support Robert Lauriston.
And I totally disagree with the "cursed location" BS. Casa de Eva was a great success in that location for decades. And a couple of the successors did quite well.
Wow, really sad. I had been a few times and was looking forward to going back after Thanksgiving. From my previous discussions with the owners of Zax they stated that they did quite well during the Cal football season so I am a little surprised that things weren't picking up this time of year.
re: steve h.
This is too bad. I enjoyed my couple of visits. I thought it would end up in the "every few months) repertoire, but alas, it won't have the chance. I liked that there was easy parking and no hassle of downtown, but that ultimately is what did it in. Thanks for the good bites, the creative wine selections, and the effort.
Just came back from the Friday night 10:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. happy hour. I'm so bummed it's closing. I know this will sound like.... too little too late, but i have to say, the pizza was one of the best I've had .... ever. Dirty Girl kale, with lardo, and i forget what the cheese was, but it was fantastic. juicy - i think not only from the kale which was crispy, but from the melting lardo, with a bubbled and charred crisp crust. it was wonderful. we also had fried chicken wings with a calabrian chili oil. I did ask for more chili oil, but the chicken was ultra crunchy and delicious and satisfying. We each had two glasses of wine - i believe a vinho verde - off the happy hour menu. Our total bill for two was $30. I am so sorry to lose this place, the idea of it, the execution of food, the wine list, etc. If you can, go this weekend. I'm going to try to go again Sunday night. thanks for your effort Mr. Lauriston, and again, really sorry it didn't work out. I know it's easy to say for an outsider, but don't feel chagrined. You really did create a good thing.
re: mariacarmen
That Vinho Verde-ish wine is Tintero Grangia, a Piemontese blend of 80% Moscato, 10% Chardonnay, and 10% Favorita. Kermit brings it in. I know they have had it at Farmstead.
re: Robert Lauriston
oh yes, the bartendress told us it was KL! Interesting, never would have thought it was Italian. Good to know, thanks.
re: mariacarmen
Wine selection was very good. This shop will be missed.
re: Robert Lauriston
80% Favorita (aka Vermentino), 10% Chardonnay and 10% Moscato.
and it is at #farmstead
re: mariacarmen
Ditto. Finally made it over there. We put them through their paces by ordering one from every section (appetizer, pasta, pizza, meat, veggie, dessert) plus wine, cocktails, coffee and tea. Way too much food, but everything was delicious (okay, I thought the ravioli was kind of weak -- unfortunately they had run out of the pasta special of papparadelle with oxtail sugo). The stars were the porchetta, the kale pizza and somewhat surprisingly, the dessert (pumpkin and sage gelati with caramel, which were taken to the next level by the addition of small cubes of crisp fried polenta). Service was sort of scattered (we came in at the peak Saturday night rush, though), with a long gap between the appetizer and the pizza and some long waits for things like cream for my tea (good tea, even if it was bagged instead of loose). But we were enjoying sitting there, and aside from the pacing the service was excellent -- our waitress even insisted on bringing me something else when she asked how I liked my specialty cocktail and I told her I didn't (since it was a featured cocktail I thought I must be wrong about limoncello and amaretto being terrible together, but I wasn't).
Our waitress said that for the last night tomorrow they're featuring happy hour prices all night. I'm going to see if I can round up a couple of people and go back for more pizza and porchetta!
went again tonight. place was packed, which was nice to see - again, most certainly too little, too late, and unfortunately it meant a lot of items were sold out by the time we were served. glad i went, tho, and still wish there was some way to save it - some investor swooping in at the last minute, willing to bet on a venue that really creates exceptionally good food!
So sad, that I got back to late to go again. Been there once and was planning to go again soon it was a trip for since I am in the West Bay. But at least the one time I was there it was outstanding.
Hope Robert can give it another try sometime soon.

Miguel Enguidanos - If you only have the start count for regular season, why would you drop them when you could use them without an issue in the playoffs? You want them then, don't you? Am I misunderstanding?
Miguel Enguidanos
So the trade deadline is two days away. One of my teams has 29 starts left. What I haven't been thinking clearly about is the end of the regular season in the league is August 31 not the end of the regular baseball season because of playoffs. So with 5 active starters (Fister, CJ Wilson, Cueto, Gallardo and E. Santana) and one on the DL (G. Cole). Would you bother to unload any of the starters before the end of the season. Gallardo and Fister go today so that leaves 27 starts actually. I'm in 2nd place in a 12 team 5x5 roto.

Nick killed me with his attitude, when he didn't get picked. Now let me say that I think he's talented. Just from the two episodes I've watched, I see his talent, but he kinda ticked me off when he called Sonyae a "ghetto b---h." He was a real B---H for saying it. I understood what he meant about he wasn't there to make friends, because in the end there will only be one winner BUT you don't have to like someone to have a mutual respect for one another. OK moving on. . .
It's hard to write in groups sometimes. Brian's team didn't see his vision with the low vocal, and he had to be a team player, which hurt him in the end. I personally thought the song worked either way in the low octave or the high, but the low vocal would have kept it more interesting.
So Karen's lyrics are very "simple." Now a producer friend of mine has a saying "Keep It Simple Stupid." A lot of the biggest hits have some of the simplest, corniest lyrics. We writers can over think things. Listeners want songs that are relatable and easy to catch on to. Personally I feel Karen's lyrics are tooooooooo simple but I'm not saying she can't be a hitmaker because of it.
Nick, Sonyae, Scotty, and Melissa make a great team. Well, I don't know how much input Melissa had in it. When she questioned the hook I was like is she crazy? It's super hot! Scotty cracked me up when he said, "Why does this look like a club I always go to? Oh, cuz everybody is gay!" LOL. I love when people are comfortable with their sexuality. There are a lot of closet gay men in the industry. It's refreshing to see he's not that.
So I have to say that I liked all three songs but "Paint This Club with Amazing" was my favorite. I can hear an established artist for each song. I still liked "My Ridiculous," even though Jes sang it instead of Brian. I think it works in either vocal range --which also shows how good of a song it was.
I hate that Blessing went home. I would have loved to see more from him because vocally he's hot, and I just don't think dance music was his strength. Unfortunately for him it was an early category in the competition. I wish you luck and blessings Blessing! I guess that was corny for me to say that but I really do wish you the best!
Much love,

"My family and I have been coming to this unit for over 5 years. Nora is always the best! We always feel this is our home away from home. I recently had two surgeries and spent 3 weeks at this unit to complete my recovery! Operation HEALING>..a success! Thanks to Nora and her beautiful home on the beach she shares. The sound of the waves, the wonderful breeze and amazing view and OH THOSE SUNSETS! Completed with comfortable bedding, top notch beautiful draperies and comfortable furniture..I was able to heal and rest very well. Of course, the access to the nearby (but just far enough away) shops and restaurants were there if I wanted them...but this trip was all about the CONDO...and it was wonderful! ALL the comforts of home with the added lil blessing of OH...the BEACH, the OCEAN and the SUNSETS! Enjoy. Book with confidence!"Guest: Cindy England- Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 29, 2014View listing
"My husband, myself and our 2 young children ages 1, and 4 stayed at this beautiful condo for 1 week. It is an excellent condo. Fully stocked with basically anything you could need while away from home. Very clean. We really liked that there are only 5 units on each floor so it is pretty calm and quiet, not a lot of people coming and going. Twin Palms also has security that keeps an eye on the properties which gives a good sense of comfort. The pool is beautiful. The beach is beautiful. The condo is on the 16th floor so we had a perfect view of the helicopter tours that fly by everyday as well as the perfect ocean view. Owners are very helpful and very nice! Would definitely stay again."Guest: Elizabeth C. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 17, 2014View listing

"Everything you think, do, and say

Ok, so I racked to my secondary and ended up adding one can of welches concentrate. I figure it will add a tad under 160 grams of sugar. How do I figure that into my specific gravity readings now? Obviously my reading will go up, but now I don't know how to figure out my alcohol content. Do I add the difference it went up to my original gravity reading?

We develop an empirical model of the determinants of end-use energy prices in 28 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. For this, we construct a unique panel data-set and formulate a spatial panel econometric model with fixed country effects for the period of 1980–2009. A special feature of the proposed empirical model is that cross-country interdependence in energy prices surfaces through two channels, a metric of similarity towards energy policy and a metric of trade in energy goods. We estimate the parameters of that model and conduct several comparative static experiments. We find that higher income per capita and lower efficiency in energy distribution tend to raise energy prices whereas higher net imports of energy and more abundant energy resource endowments reduce them. We also find that bilateral trade in energy goods is an important channel of transmission of shocks in energy prices across countries. The estimation results suggest that countries that use the same types of resources to generate energy are likely to transmit energy price shocks to each other through competition effects.
