Hello! I'm Amelia. I'm from the PNW, and have been lucky enough to travel and live in many different places around the world. Currently I live in Portland, via San Francisco, Salvador da Bahia, Miami, and Paris. I'm an avid Airbnb host & guest, and I love sharing stories and getting to know new places.
Amelia has completed online and offline ID verification.
The reservation was canceled 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Amelia was a fantastic host! Her space was very comfortable and open. Also, her loft is located in an amazing part of town with great restaurants, breweries, and pubs. She was very communicative about when she would have the room ready and she opened her entire house to me, which made me feel very welcome. I would definitely stay with Amelia again.
Amelia was beyond a gracious host. She is everything you could ask for. From greeting me at the door and helping me carry my luggage, to throwing on a fresh cup of joe just for me. Her place, don't get me started on her place. It was even more than the pictures provide. Hands down, the best host I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. I tip my hat to her.
This was exactly what I was hoping for when I decided to book a Portland trip on Airbnb. Amelia and Hector were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and their apartment is beautiful. The neighborhood is great, and I found public transportation to be pretty easy to get me everywhere I was going (with plenty of walking too).
Amelia and her husband are lovely, fascinating people. Great conversation! I really loved connecting with them. The nook is tastefully and artfully furnished, everything is unique and has a feeling of being specially curated. The environment is clean and has a rad minimalist design. Location is perfect- around the corner from crema cafe and awesome food trucks. Would love to return here on my next trip to PDX. I booked with them last minute and Amelia was so accommodating and welcoming. Thank you!
Fantastic space! Absolutely accurate to description. Amelia and Hector are the nicest hosts and would love to stay with them again. They live just around the block from some great coffee shops, restaurants and public transportation. A+.
Amelia was extremely warm and inviting and instantly made me feel at ease in her home. Her pets were also similarly friendly, and I never felt uneasy being around them. The apartment is absolutely lovely—clean, modern, and well decorated. Natural light fills the space during the day, while it becomes cool and serene during the evening. The neighborhood is calm and quiet, but some great bars and restaurants can be found right around the corner.
Staying with Amelia and her husband Hector was a wonderful experience. Amelia was such a friendly host and I really enjoyed all our chats! She definitely made my comfort her first priority while I was staying there, and I felt very at home there.
I stayed with Amelia and Hector for a couple of nights on my way up the West Coast. It was my first Airbnb experience, and any future hosts have got a lot to live up too! The guys were so welcoming, open and relaxed, and helped me get the most out of Portland and the surrounding area. The 'nook' and bed are really comfortable, the house is beautiful, and the surrounding area is just fantastic (probably was my favourite area of Portland despite walking most of the city in my two days). Despite the great set-up, it really was Amelia and Hector that made my stay. I've rarely met such interesting, kind and generous people in any walk of life, thanks so much for a great experience.
Another great stay with Amelia and Hector. The location is unbeatable and the room is super cute. Being in town for work, this private room is a dependable place to stay and always enjoyable. Thank you for hosting me again, Amelia, Hector, Rico and Bala :)
Great guest and I hope Amelia and her friend had a great staycation!
It was a pleasure to host Amelia, she is very pleasant and communicates well. We highly recommend her as a great guest.
It's hard not to gush about Amelia. She was an ideal guest: considerate, unobtrusive, friendly, and tidy. But she is also an extraordinary person. She's lived -- and is living -- a fascinating life, and we loved sharing stories with her. She is gentle and humble, thoughtful and generous. We loved meeting her and very much look forward to staying in touch.
Amelia was wonderful from her first email all the way through her stay. She was inquisitive, responsive, & responsible. We would host her again anytime!
What a sweet couple! the horses loved Amelia and I think they enjoyed the little canoe ride on our creek. Would love to have them back.
It was a pleasure to have Amelia as a guest! Glad I got to meet her even if it was only for a few hours. I would open my home to her anytime!
Amelia and her little pup are wonderful guests---great communication, clean and respectful of the property. Glad to have her staying at Opal 28 for an extended period.
Some times I am fortunate enough to rent to people for the first time that are just truely wonderful people, and make renting here in Medellin a pleasure and remind me why I do this for a living. Amelia is exactly the reason why. Great family, great everything. I am truely happy to have them back any time. Thank you for your business.
This was Amelia's second time staying. She was as wonderful as before. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to catch up with her. Hopefully, next time.
Amelia was wonderful. I Truely enjoyed meeting her and talking about our lives for a bit. She was so kind and respectful. And her little dog is so very sweet. I would highly recommend her!

Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Crocheting |
Type | Accessory |
Yarn Weight | Bulky (12 ply) |
Sizing | Women |
Style | Traditional, Outdoorsy, Casual, Classic |
What materials did you use? 3 balls of di.Vé Autunno [294 yards, 150 grams 3 skeins = 294.0 yards (268.8m)]
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Although, this is considered a bulky weight yarn, I found that it worked up somewhere between a worsted and a bulky weight. Since this wool was a little heavier than a worsted I started out with a chain of 91 and I only did 11 rows. I easily completed this project in a day.

Citing sequestration, OPM pushes back retirement processing goal
The Office of Personnel Management now estimates it will not be able to clear a longstanding backlog of retirement claims until next summer. OPM Associate Director for Retirement Services Ken Zawodny told Federal News Radio the suspension of overtime in late April has left the agency essentially treading water when it comes to processing retirement applications.

How to maintain training in tight budget times
In tight fiscal times, travel and training budgets often seem to be marked with a target by cost-conscious agency leaders. But there are strategies chief human capital officers and chief learning officers can deploy to shield their training budgets from cuts. ICF International Senior Vice President Jeff Neal and Young Government Leaders President Virginia Hill offer tips.

Retirement backlog grows slightly in July
For the third month in a row, the Office of Personnel Management failed to meet its monthly goal for processing retirement claims. OPM's backlog now sits at 25,601 claims, up slightly from June. OPM blames its reduced processing power on the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration. To comply with the budget shortfalls, OPM was forced to suspend overtime for its employees in its Retirement Services division starting April 28.

Union wants rewrite of phased-retirement rules
The National Treasury Employees Union supports the general idea of phased retirement but has taken issue with some of the specifics set out by the Office of Personnel Management in its draft regulations. NTEU President Colleen Kelley says the rules, in their current form, require would-be phased retirees to have 20 years of experience, which could limit the number of employee eligible for the program. NTEU is also concerned about the lack of an appeals process for feds deemed ineligible for the option.

Panel: Contractors adapting to post-sequestration environment
With continuing resolutions and fiscal showdowns running rampant the last few years, government contractors have gotten used to near perpetual budget uncertainty clouding the marketplace.

Fed furloughs leave imprint on procurement process, contractors say
In contrast to federal employees, who are facing furloughs, many contractors are encountering more elusive sequestration symptoms. Along with reduced government contract spending, federal-employee furlough have also trickled down through the procurement process, resulting in delays, contractors say. This article is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Private Side of Sequestration.

Hagel lays out options for dealing with sequestration beyond 2014
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says service members will have to share in the pain of sequestration if the automatic budget cuts continue into next year. In a Pentagon press briefing Wednesday, Hagel laid out a "menu of options" for dealing with sequestration in 2014 and beyond, including changes to military pay and benefits, consolidating headquarters staff and a potential modest reduction in military force structure.

I've got a pair of FiveFingers Classics and they're great on the boat...the best deck "shoe" I've ever had. The tread is non-marking and is sipped for great traction. Additionally, you'd be surprised how much more grip you have when you get your toes involved in the process. They're also great for going ashore on slippery rocks, swimming and wading. You do give up a bit of protection, but I've always worn Crocs or gone barefoot on deck anyway.
If you haven't looked there are many different styles of FiveFingers available, including ones with straps for extra snug fit (Sprint, KSO, Flow), neoprene for water performance (Flow), open top designs for warm weather (Classic), etc.

By accident. Worked as a business analyst, for corp 500 (I never took a graphic or web class). My friend asked me to make a website for, can you believe it--money! My job got outsourced so I had not job and I started working out of a spare bedroom (with two CRT's and a g4 QuickSilver), getting jobs from craigslist, and started a business all simultaneously. I made some good friends and networked through forums, contracted for a few designers for a bit. One thing led to another, now we have an office, 2 employees, 1 full time contractor, 2 part time contractors and half a dozen macs. Good times and gotta love our capitalistic society and the internets!

Well for me I got a job out of college with my associates degree in commercial art... however the job was doing silk screen production orders(printing designs on vellum) while every great once in awhile designing for the tee shirt line.
After 4 years the company that bought us decided to foolishly shut us down last Dec. on the 18th. Since then I've been doing freelance for the company who shut us down. lol I've tried for 4 years to get out of there, but i don't get anything pass the 2nd interview. I don't have the contacts to make it big in freelance. I also recently got my Mac certs and am contracting for a guy who serviced our macs at the place that shut down. I'm with the original poster, any ideas would be great. It's hard to take freelance work when you only have experience in production work...
I'd rather be driving a Macintosh! |

Erm, this one! I've made several contacts from here (some didn't come through, but some GREAT ones have), and other design oriented forum sites.
The trick is to just be good at what you do. Craigslist is another good one. Just get your name out there. It's a big circle sometimes: clients want to see a portfolio, in order to have a nice portfolio you need clients. So my secret was, in order to build my portfolio, I worked for a little cheaper then I wanted too for about a year. That way I was able to build a nice portfolio then get the money I deserved. Like anything in life you have to sacrifice now to get the rewards tomorrow. My 2/100ths of a dollar.

I have just been freelancing on the side only to help out my resume and portfolio. Coming straight out of college it seemed a little harder to get a well paying job that my professors made it sound. I figure that building up a portfolio with freelance jobs while working a steady job whas the best wat to advance quickly.

I'm a college student in my 1st year, but have been messing with photoshop & Illustrator for some time now. I also went to trade school for broadcasting/ video production. I'm still learning about design an love designing. I also like to paint, sculpt, and draw(not to good at somethings in drawing). I just recently started freelancing a little off of craigslist. I have been able to do about 4-5 projects so far this year. I plan on going for my BFA in graphic design.
Oh did I mention I'm a 25 year old freshman at community college!!!

I was recommended for a freelance job by my Graphic Design professor my last semester of college. I interviewed for the job, showed my portfolio and was hired. I learned more from that first job than I anticipated. It was valuable experience and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity. (Thanks Professor Marcuccio!)

Worked full time as a carpet cleaner for five years, and was doing free or low-cost design "jobs" for churches and friends the whole time. Then, I suddenly couldn't stand carpet cleaning anymore, so I quit and started my own design business. Now, I use all those free jobs as a portfolio, and advertise myself to get new clients.

In 8th grade I was recruited to work on the yearbook staff because I was the only person who really knew how to use a Mac. I have fond memories of Pagemaker 4.2. That would have been 1990ish.
And that was back in my Mac-cursing DOS-loving days. Didn't get my very own Mac until 2001. |

I sort of fell backwards into it. I got a job at a major insurance company on their Internet team, back when Internet applications just started getting big. Since I was the only person with design (for fun) experience all the design work was given to me. In four years I went from regular joe to team lead. There were too many 70+ hour work weeks in those four years

I tried doing a logo project on Illustrator on my PC...and I just couldn't do it. I kept hitting the wrong keys and becoming more and more frustrated. And about a year later, I got my first Mac - a G4 667MHz. Which, somehow, still runs. And it's sitting on the desk behind me. Not sure what to do with it. It also helped that my old Gateway 2000 PC spontaneously combusted. Freelance can be hard to break into. It helps to know someone. Failing that, you can try posting on craigslist or media bistro, (I think). eBay may also have a place where people can bid on jobs. But I'm not 100% sure about that. |

Oh my god, that's me too. I was the newspaper / literary magazine / yearbook / every-other-crap-gig b*tch of my school. They saw talent and exploited it until the day I yanked my diploma from their greasy paws and headed for design school. By then, the next door neighbors and my parents co-workers were in on it too. I was rolling out business cards, tri-fold brochures and CD packaging for anyone who'd cough up the cold hard cash. By college I had a wait list of freelance gigs. Post-college I upped my prices and combed through Craigs List for work until I had a steady stream by word of mouth. Then I kicked down a few doors in NYC and landed an in-house gig. I still freelance, for the right price.

It's just in my blood to design. I run my own company now, I started learning the programs and such when I was around 14 or so, I'm 27 now. It's how I eat and support my massive setups lol.

I've always designed stuff. My skills began to improve when i was in the 5th grade. Switched to a magnet school, then majored in Art. One day I ran across photoshop in a writing class. This was Photoshop 3 or LE. Before there were any layers.
My skills improved, i used every filter, made every basic designer mistake long before i left high school. by the time I hit college I was highly skilled. In college i began to be interested in what had just become Flash 4. Prior to that Director and Authorware. Blah, blah.... many years later i'm still working professionally for various companies freelance, and i work fulltime for a major network. There is no right way, i had my own obstacles, but i always pushed myself to learn new things and improve the quality of my work. My first intern job got my oot in the door. One project after another, your client list will build. Damn, i'm getting old. :-/

I kind of agree to that. But if you have a very special skill set and style, you can make a killing. I went more into doing code. mainly because most of the stuff I saw looked so bad, i knew my design eye and details would compliment my math skills. So from being a beginner to a senior developer today... you would be surprised how things can change over time.

Globes, Tel Aviv, Israel, Shlomi Cohen column
Dec 11, 2012 (Globes - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- As the end of the year draws near, many companies are holding their annual analysts' days. Last week, it was Cisco (CSCO) on Friday, and Broadcom (BRCM) on Thursday. These analysts' days have something to tell us about the potential for 2013 of two Israeli semiconductor companies, EZchip Semiconductor Ltd. (Nasdaq: EZCH; TASE:EZCH), and Ceva Inc. (Nasdaq:CEVA); LSE:CVA), two more that I recommend for the new year.
John Chambers has been CEO of Cisco since the last century. He has seen days of strong growth, and days of great bubbles immediately followed by very deep lows. At present, he is leading his last great strategic change as CEO before he retires. He says that it will take place over two to four years.
The change, in three words, is "to be IBM", meaning less and less hardware, and much more software and services, or, in finer words, to be the number one IT company.
Cisco has a huge customer base all over the world that uses various systems from the company with an aggregate value of $180 billion. Now, the company wants to leverage that power, and to lead in the new era of cloud computing, Big Data, unified communications, mobility, video, security, software-defined networking (SDN), and so forth.
Chambers spoke a great deal at the analysts' day about the company's strength in designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) for itself, which gives it a large advantage in costs, performance, and time to market.
On the face of it, talk of these capabilities ought to worry semiconductor producer EZchip. But anyone familiar with the relationship between EZchip and Cisco knows that Cisco sees EZchip's network processors (NPU) as processors designed especially for it. That is to say, as far as Cisco is concerned, these are also in-house developed ASIC processors. EZchip's processors are the brain that currently drives three important Cisco routing systems, and in the future there will be many more.
In early September, EZchip unveiled the new family of processors developed in Kiryat Gat, the NPS, and I have no doubt that in the development of these products too, Cisco is involved as a potential customer. On the basis of the NPS, within a few years, Cisco, and other companies, will build not only the advanced generation of routers that will deal with all layers of the network, but also highly advanced communications equipment for large storage centers.
In addition to that, the NPS processors are designed from the start for work environments of what are called software-defined networks. This is the biggest buzz today in networks, and it will be practical perhaps only in another two to three years. Analysts have been bothering Chambers about this at every opportunity, in case Cisco does not have appropriate software solutions, and its hardware will become irrelevant. Chambers always reminds them of the company's capability in developing ASIC processors.
Ceva's year of return to growth Broadcom is an important customer for Ceva's DSP solutions. To judge from what Broadcom revealed in the area of mobile processors at its analysts' day, there is a high chance that 2013 will be a year of return to growth for Ceva. This will happen not only because of the momentum at Broadcom, but also because Ceva's large Chinese customer, Spreadtrum (SPRD) will at some point next year sell more third generation than second generation processors, and the royalties that Ceva receives on 3G processors are much higher.
Broadcom revealed that, next year, it will start to sell LTE processors, manufactured on 28 nano production lines. These are advanced processors that only Qualcomm has at present. Qualcomm is not a Ceva customer, since it has DSP solutions of its own.
Broadcom will enter the LTE market a year behind Qualcomm, but, according to its management, its processors will be smaller, and will have features that Qualcomm's processors don't have, and that, among other things, are to be found on the new iPhones and iPads.
Besides a first stream of royalties from LTE processors, Ceva will shortly benefit from Broadcom's new success with 3G processors. At its analysts' day, the company revealed that, in the next few months, Samsung is due to launch a new series of inexpensive smartphones on the basis of Broadcom 3G processors. Samsung itself is also a direct customer of Ceva, among other things because of certain Galaxy 3 models that have in them Ceva solutions integrated with Samsung's own processors.

Churchill Downs. Photo by Scott B. Rosen It's that time of year again in Louisville—when the big hats and big bucks come out to play...
What: The Antiguan breakfast always involves salt fish—salt-cured, dried white fish (often ling fish, in the cod family and imported from Trinidad or Guyana) flaked into pieces and sautéed with onions and peppers—as well as avocado, hard-boiled egg, plantain, a basic salad, and chop-up, a soft vegetal mash of okra, pumpkin, eggplant, and spinach. Sometimes you'll also get fungee, a mild polenta-like cornmeal dish that pairs well with the strong-flavored salt fish. And on the side, Johnny cakes, a subtly sweet fried bread that stands in for pancakes (or doughnuts, perhaps). Taken together this breakfast is a beautiful, belly-filling, sweet and salty medley at the intersection of land and sea. It's traditionally eaten at home on weekends, especially post-church on Sundays; as a tourist, you'll likely find it offered only on weekends at restaurants or hotels.
Good to know: Fungee (also spelled fungi; pronounced "foon-jee") is likely of African origin. To us, it was reminiscent of West Africa's foofoo and Sierra Leone's agidi, though we're not sure of any direct lineage. On Antigua, fungee is the standard accompaniment to what's considered the national dish, pepperpot, a meat-and-veggie stew.
Where: We found our traditional breakfast at Miller's By the Sea (268-462-9414; Fort James), a plastic-tabled waterfront affair just north of St. John's on the island's northwest coast.
When: Daily, 8am-10pm; come on Saturday after 8:30am for this breakfast
Order: The "local breakfast" (25 EC) here includes salt fish (ling fish sautéed with green pepper, celery, and sliced onion), chop-up, fungee, egg, avocado, and a small salad of tomato, cucumber, and lettuce. Johnny cakes are served on the side. It was an absolutely delicious start to a day of island exploration.
Alternatively: Nearby, Tony's (268-462-6326, Dickenson Bay, map), a beach bar and cafe popular among cruise-ship day-trippers from St. John's, offers traditional breakfast items on Sundays only. If you're at a resort, it's worth asking for this meal.

It may seem ridiculous that Sony makes something like this (and that I bought it), but it's a good value for the price, the cleaning tools are of high quality, and everything nicely fits into the case for easy storage and transport. It's also not bad looking and hey, for a Sony fangirl like me, I can't complain about those Vaio labels either.ORDERED. Review: Sony Vaio PC cleaning kit (VGP-CG100) [Pocketables]

And I thought I was special when Apple gave me a black microfiber cloth with an embossed Apple logo with my Black MacBook (late 2007 Santa Rosa). Hey Apple! See what Sony users are getting?
I refuse to buy this until they sell Vaio washing powder for my Vaio washing machine, this was I can keep my cleaning kit freshly laundered in a Sony approved manner.
Can't blame 'em at all.
I carry a microfiber cloth for my Mini 9, and always have some canned air around at home to shoo away particulates.It's worth it if you care for your toys!

I work as an editor for reality TV - in fact I should be cutting right now instead of writing this - so I should know. (I have never edited "Undercover Boss")
This diary by Vyan draws the correct conclusion but using a reality show as the evidence isn't real evidence.
First let me say that I 100% agree with the idea that the 1% work harder is 100% ludicrous and insulting.
There are hard workers and lazy arses in both the 99% and the 1% - but the 1% isn't inherently better than anyone else and visa versa.
Anyways - back to my point - that using a "reality" show to prove your point isn't usually a good idea.
Everything you see on a "reality" show has been heightened for drama.
1. Nothing moments are edited into big moments for tension, comedy, etc. Little mistakes are turned into big mistakes. Big mistakes are turned into bigger mistakes. Moments when everything is fine and going well are edited out because they are boring and not good TV.
2. Everyone on the screen is usually "casted". No they're not actors. But - scouts do interviews and there's a "casting reel" and they follow people in the show that have the most interesting story, have the best on screen presence, and/or have the best sob story. Everything is done for dramatic effect. Remember - normal is not good TV.
3. Scenes in reality shows are usually (not always) pre-thought out. Producers tell people what they want the scene to be and the cast members usually try and give the producers what they want. Multiple takes of the same scene are usually done. Heck - in Duck Dynasty - there is a SCRIPT that the cast READS. (Haven't worked on that show either but I've spoken to people familiar with it)
4. When above scenes are not pre-thought out - an editor - me - takes the raw footage that is show and cuts it together in a way that heightens that drama - whatever that drama might be. Again - we don't make boring TV.
5. Interviews are done with leading questions from the producers. Heck producers even sometimes GIVE THEM A LINE TO SAY - WORD for WORD. And THEY SAY IT.
6. The entire format of the show is mapped out and the scenes are cut to fit the format. First the boss is a fish out of water and messes up then there's some sort of realization and then there's a heartwarming moment at the end. It's TV PEOPLE! It's ALL PLANNED BY THE PRODUCERS. Again - reality - real actual reality - is usually boring.
Remember - reality television is ENTERTAINMENT.
It's not a documentary. And remember documentaries are entertainment too and things are cut a certain way to get the director's point across.
*although I must say my favorite shows to work on are the more documentary style ones where lines and scenes are not prompted and given to people and we just follow a ton of people and pick the best stories - but those shows are unfortunately harder to come by.

Organisers of a national Holocaust memorial event have banned any mention of Israel.
The trustees of Holocaust Educational Trust Ireland (HETI) have instructed the host of the country's main Shoah memorial event in January "not to refer to the Jewish State or the State of Israel during any part of the ceremony".
The student union at Goldsmiths College has denied it rejected Holocaust Memorial Day.
A motion to mark HMD, as well as days commemorating genocides in Armenia and Ukraine, was voted down by 60 to one.
Student Colin Cortbus, who put forward the proposal, said its rejection was "sad for democracy and tolerance".
The Holocaust Educational Trust has relocated its annual dinner from the Dorchester hotel as calls to boycott the venue grow.
The charity said it was fundamentally at odds with the repressive Sharia laws introduced by Dorchester owner the Sultan of Brunei in the south east Asia kingdom.
HET's fundraising event will instead be moved to a new venue.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has declared that the Holocaust was the most 'heinous' crime committed in modern times.
He made the statement in English, Spanish and Arabic on the website of Wafa, Palestine's official news agency, as Israel began its annual Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles wants Britons to "keep the memory alive" in next year's Holocaust Memorial Day.
Mr Pickles was joined by MPs, peers and survivors at a Parliamentary event on Monday where he unveiled plans for HMD 2015.
"The fact of remembering people - and not just the numbers - is in itself an act of defiance," he said.
Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey gave the address at a Metropolitan Police/Jewish Police Association HMD event at the Police Training Centre in Hendon, attended by nearly 200 staff, officers and guests. Heads of the Hindu and Muslim staff associations were among those who lit memorial candles.
Envoys from Portugal, Japan and Poland relayed stories of their diplomats' Holocaust heroism to the London Jewish Cultural Centre's HMD ceremony at its Golders Green premises.
The poignant story of a Dutch survivor was the centrepiece of the main Scottish HMD ceremony, held in Stirling. Dr Alfred Munzer said he was taken in by a neighbouring family — later honoured by Yad Vashem. His two sisters, aged six and eight, were housed by another family but turned in by the husband. Both died in Auschwitz.
David Cameron has praised the "courage and bravery" of Holocaust survivors — and his pride at leading "a nation with such extraordinary people in it".
The Prime Minister extended the warmest of welcomes to more than 50 survivors at a Downing Street reception to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on Monday.

Steve Harvey Morning Show's Daily Strawberry Letter
Every day we feature the beloved "Strawberry Letter" franchise that is so popular on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," heard nationwide. Send in your letters and Shirley Strawberry will dish out the necessary advice. Today's topic: In love with another woman's man I've been messing around with a man for almost two years. I love this man dearly. At times he gives me everything I need and want. Here is the funny thing - he keeps making promises he can't keep. His woman knows about me. She knows where I live and I know where they live. I even call her and tell her it's time for me to get with her man. The funny thing is she gets man and sends him to me. My question is: is it really worth it? Should I let it go or continue? He has a key. He takes care of me and he wants me to have a child. He says he is using her but in love with me. Can this be real or is this a fake situation. Help! I'm in love with this man. He has his cake and ice cream and we allow it. What I can do? --A woman in love with another woman's man

There's plenty of obligatory buzz surrounding tonight's return of the MTV Video Music Awards to New York. The lavishly-produced show always forces one to remember there was a time when MTV used to play actual music videos. And with the U.S. Open and tennis "just friends" Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova in Flushing, we're hearing from a few sources that the paparazzi's Rodapova wish may, in fact, be granted.
Note: Sharapova's 2nd round match is slated to begin "not before 4:00PM," which — based on her 59-minute beating of Michaella Krajicek last night — would give her just enough time to scurry over to Radio City Music Hall. And, by the looks of her Nike cocktail dress, she wouldn't even have to change.

Learning-by-Consuming and the Dynamics of the Demand and Prices of Cultural Goods
The major distinctive feature of cultural goods is that consumers must learn how to consume them, implying that preferences should be modelled as intertemporally dependent. The canonical model in the literature uses a habit formation analogy. In this paper, we discuss in detail, though in the simplest setup, a consistent preference structure for that model. Then, we derive the implications for the dynamics of two aggregate equilibrium models, a fixed price model and a flexible price model. The learning-by-consuming behaviour is characterised by a preference structure displaying bounded adjacent complementarity in the demand for the cultural good. This implies that there will be short run complementarity between the stocks of culture and financial wealth and that the adjustment of the demand for cultural goods, or of their relative price, will have some inertia. In the exogenous price model, we find that increases in income will raise the long run demand for cultural goods while increases in the relative price will decrease it. In the endogenous price model, an increase in the supply of cultural goods will imply an initial undershooting of the price of cultural goods followed by an upward transition process. Our results seem to be consistent with the empirical results on the demand for cultural goods and seem to offer an explanation for the Baumol and Bowen paradox.

Difference between revisions of "Boudhanath"
Revision as of 07:42, 24 June 2011Boudhanath [1] is a suburb of Kathmandu and home to one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world. Boudhanath is also known as Boudha, pronounced 'Bo-da'.
UnderstandIn 1979, Boudhanath became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and today, it remains an important place of pilgrimage and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists and local Nepalis, as well as a popular tourist site. The Great Stupa of Boudhanath is the focal point of the district. There are over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. The culture, remains very much Himalayan with a strong presence of Tibetans and Sherpas, and this can be evidenced by the number of restaurants selling momos and thukpa and other Tibetan favorites. In fact, when traveling into the area, it is often the sight of maroon clad Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns that indicates you are getting close. Boudhanath remains a fascinating area with many Buddhist temples and eccentric characters. It is a very spiritual area. As a daily ritual, many people walk three laps (or more) around the stupa while repeating the mantra 'Om mani padme hum' either quietly or aloud. Recommended reading
Get inTaxis: From the Kathmandu airport, or from Thamel, expect to pay 250-350 rupees. If your purpose for visiting Boudhanath is to see the Boudha Stupa, tell the taxi driver that you wish to go to Boudha Stupa main Gate. Get aroundMap of Boudha http://www.boudhamap.com/ [2]
BuyThere are many handicraft stores located all around the stupa. Prices are comparable to those in Thamel, but there is a little less variety. However, naturally for Buddhist related items - statues, prayer flags, Tibetan incense, etc - Boudhanath is the better place.
Mid range
RespectIn the vicinity of sacred sites:
Stay healthy
Shechen Monastery operates an efficient, hygienic & friendly clinic offering treatments using Western & traditional Tibetan medicine, homeopathy & also sometimes massage & acupuncture. It is a good place to seek treatment for both acute & chronic ailments. The clinic is in an alley across from Shechen Guest Houses. Get out
ContactThere are many internet cafes on and around the kora (the walking area that surrounds the stupa) - Dharana Cyberspace, is an especially clean facility with fast computers.

Love it! I know you have already learned a lot about your machine and you can use this reference in the future.
Sometimes I wish I had gotten an embroidery machine. Beautiful cover.
Beautiful finish, I wish i had done mine neater, yours looks absolutely fantastic
Thank you. First I serged the edge of each page before stitching so that the page did not get distorted, then bind two pages back to back. So I ended up with 9 double sided pages, then used the button hole feature on the ends and threaded 1 inch ribbon to hold the pages together.

A. R. Rahman
~ Person
Legal name: A. S. Dileepkumar, அல்லா ரக்கா ரஹ்மான்
Allah-Rakha Rahman ( pronunciation , born A. S. Dileep Kumar on 6 January 1967) is an Indian composer, singer-songwriter, music producer, musician and philanthropist. Described as the world's most prominent and prolific film composer by Time, Rahman's works are noted for integrating Eastern classical music with electronic music, world music and traditional orchestral arrangements. Among his awards are two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe, four National Film Awards, fifteen Filmfare Awards and thirteen Filmfare Awards South. Rahman's body of work for film and stage has given him the nickname of "the Mozart of Madras", and Tamil commentators and fans call him Isai Puyal (English: the Musical Storm).
In 2009, Time included Rahman on its list of the world's most influential people. The UK-based world-music magazine Songlines named him one of "Tomorrow's World Music Icons" in August 2011.
With an in-house studio (Panchathan Record Inn in Chennai) Rahman's film-scoring career began during the early 1990s with the Tamil film Roja. Working in India's film industries, international cinema and theatre, Rahman is one of the world's all-time best-selling recording artists. In a notable two-decade career, he has been acclaimed for redefining contemporary Indian film music and contributing to the success of several films. Rahman has become a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising money for a number of causes and charities.

FastCGI: Persistent Applications for Your Web Server
My example script doesn't tackle many of the tasks at which FastCGI excels: persistent database connections, format translation (e.g., SGML to HTML) or providing common HTML page headers and footers. At the site I manage, I use FastCGI to do all these things and more.
I've found that a FastCGI application can perform its duties, including multiple SQL queries, and deliver a page on the fly only slightly slower than the server can deliver static documents. On a 10Mbps LAN connection the speed difference is perceptible, but just barely, and only if I'm looking for it. Over a 128Kbps or slower connection, I notice no difference.
I still use CGI to perform simple, infrequently needed tasks. A CGI script doesn't hog system resources for very long. For complex, frequently invoked tasks, FastCGI provides a great combination of flexibility and speed.

I know compositionally this is awkward to the eye, but I kind of like it, maybe it would work better in B+W with the two rigid structures against the swell of the water and slight movement in the clouds

The various elements of the image are all very good indeed and the atmosphere is there but as you say the composition is a little awkward due to the lack of identifiable lead-through between those elements.
