Kizomba has nothing LATIN in it. It is an African dance.
It comes from the mix of Semba (yeah not…Read More samba, in fact samba comes from Semba) and Caribbean zouk. Not going to call out all the other fake facts it this article. You should check your facts before lying to your costumers.

Kizomba. Sounds more African than Latin. Who knowa, this may last or go away as fast as the Lambada.…Read More I remember when salsa was just a type of music. Some people say there is no such dance as the salsa. It is like jazz, There is jazz music and you may go to a dance studio to learn jazz dancing, but you don't go into a dance studio and say. "I want to learn the jazz,"

This looks like a great workout too! I like any music with strong African beats, so I'm sure I'll…Read More enjoy Kizomba!

Asya, I appreciate the fact that you do distinguish between vandalism graffiti and urban art. With…Read More the latter, it's my understanding some of these artists have permission from the owners of these properties to create the art. I wish we could learn more about these so-called urban artists and what makes them take their talent to the streets. Thank you so much for blogging on Patch!

I've traveled in Europe, and graffiti covers everything there - and yes, some of it is truly…Read More beautiful. Many artists got their start with graffiti (Jenny Holzer, Jean-Michel Basquiat). I've read poetry, social and political comments, and viewed amazing street art on the sides of buildings, train platforms, and sidewalks. However, would I want my house tagged? Probably not. A mixed bag, to be sure.

I think there are some bigger triggers and some smaller triggers. I'm less worried about yogurt and…Read More more worried about chocolate for example. I really believe in the caffeine-headache connection. But most people won't go so far as to not having caffeine. It's a part of most lifestyles in our society. I wish your sister luck. Maybe the book will help.

Not sure if Dr. David Buchholz' tips will work for all migraine sufferers. My sister is one of them…Read More and she's tried these, but still suffers from them! I will definitely recommend she reads this book, though. Her headaches are very debilitating. Thank you so much for the post, Michelle.

I thought Hillbrook School had already got the O K already? The many hoops you gotta go through.…Read More But then again you learn a lot on your way!

I know a little boy that is obsessed with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. These suggestions for follow-up…Read More books are great. Thanks!

We thank our teachers from elementary school through graduate school by remembering that spelling…Read More and literacy in the language of one's culture and community matters, that reading newspapers matters, that what we publish online represents their efforts to teach us how to articulate our thoughts and ideas, and how to read with care and consideration the opinions of others with that same thoughtful consideration. We thank our teachers by taking the work they do and the hours and hours of unpaid and free or volunteer work "behind the scenes" and the money they spend out of their pockets to improve the learning environment for their students seriously. Most of all, we thank them by growing up to be civil and to work hard at whatever jobs or tasks we are given in life to the best of our abilities; and if some of that work began with the encouragement and recognition given by a teacher, then that is a joyful word of thanks to all of us who were students and are indeed, today, teachers.

Agree! So many restaurants, so little time. Great museums too.
Asya Rakova May 2, 2013 at 02:26 am
Thank you Sheila! Isn't it just a wonderful place to be? And thank you Marguerite for your…Read More suggestions for what to do in the City as well! And I completely agree, Irene. I always take the train. I love train rides so I don't mind taking public transportation. And definitely, the fact that San Francisco exists gives us on the West Coast an opportunity to get close to the New York City type experience without actually being there. It's great we have two cities like this on both sides of the country.
Irene Aida Garza-Ortiz May 2, 2013 at 01:41 am
I to love San Francisco, but the Parking can be a bit of a problem. So take the train.
Games,…Read More Holidays, & Plays, Shopping. A lot like New York City in a smaller way!

Julie, so glad to hear your persistence paid off--that's what it takes! Thank you for your kind…Read More words and encouragement. Good luck to you as well!

So sad! I got past the editorial team several times, only to be rejected by the publishing board…Read More because my "platform was not large enough." I just kept going to writer's conferences and networking... and finally I was picked up by Thomas Nelson.The big difference for me was in finally getting an agent-- publishers like to use that filter. Hang in there, it sounds like it is only a matter of time. If one publisher saw value, another one hopefully will as well. Keep writing and keep submitting! Best wishes!!
Linda Covella April 27, 2013 at 06:32 pm
Thanks so much, Debra. I really appreciate your comment and encouragement! Best to you, too!

It was great to see your Aloo bhujia recipe...Nabeel is right, keep them coming :)

I'm so thrilled that Los Altos Patch carries this new blogger with such wonderful tales of where the…Read More recipes came from. Because isn't that how we often relate to food? The way it makes us feel goes beyond the taste buds.
I will recommend we carry this on other Patch sites! Yum.
