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!

Hi! Wow, that must have been so stressful! It is important to take your gown to someone that does…Read More everything on site, and is hands on with the bride. I offer the option to view before preservation, as well as the option to be present while I preserve the gown. I also work directly with every bride and handle all of the gowns myself, to ensure nothing goes wrong throughout the process. I hope you were able to get your daughters gown back!

Hi, we had my daughter's wedding dress cleaned and boxed just after her wedding and put the box…Read More away for several days before deciding to peek at it just one more time, took the outer box off and peered into the "window" and we're astonished to see it wasn't her dress at all!!! Brides/Moms. Be sure to check to see that the cleaners give you the correct dress!

Thanks Maria! It is hard to hear criticism, especially when we are set in our ways. But if someone…Read More notices something, it's better to consider there perspective because they'll notice things we may not. Look forward to reading more of your blogs!

Great, review! Saw it based on this and am telling all my friends to see the movie.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work with…Read More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a large…Read More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will save…Read More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You left out the word communist, and you also neglected to blame President Obama.

Agreed. Thanks for putting this together for us, Cliff.

Thank you Scott. I can't think of a better way to honor someone for whom life was complete thanks…Read More to the companionship of an animal.

In our first meeting here I told you that I believed that any discussion or argument here was not…Read More done to change the minds of those involved, rather it was to influence those who are reading them; third parties.
You have been very helpful in that regard. Anyone reading our exchanges can see you for what you are.
I tried to have a discussion with you and could not even agree on the definition of words with out hours of argument
You have an agenda and you will not allow anything to get in the way of it. That agenda includes trying to circumvent and weaken the 2nd amendment and redefine it's intent.
Mark Paxson May 9, 2013 at 11:51 pm
Once again you misdirect. You made a specific statement about one California piece of legislation…Read More you claimed did very specific things and, therefore, was unconstitutional. I'm not arguing the constitutionality. I'm arguing that the factual basis, the things that legislation does, is wrong. We can't even begin to discuss the constitutionality if the facts are wrong. I have provided the evidence that your facts are wrong. You have yet to counter that evidence. And now you change the conversation to "the constitutional intricacies within hundreds of pages of proposed state & federal firearms legislation written in legalese." You made very specific factual claims about one specific piece of California legislation. I've provided the bill number as well as the analysis. And all you can do is now quibble over whether eristical is a word that I should have looked up.
I will never understand why you and the rest of the right-wingers are so incapable of understanding that if they post "facts" in the context of their arguments that are proven to be false, they believe the problem is with the person who proves them wrong. Seriously, Jeff ... if the factual basis for your claim of unconstitutional provisions is wrong, how can you keep arguing the legislation is unconstitutional? Why is it so hard for you to back up those "facts?" You're proving yourself to be no better than the rest.
Mark Paxson May 9, 2013 at 11:41 pm
You imply far too much, sir. But your further response implies other things. First, that I have…Read More ever questioned your interest in defending the Constitution. I have not. Second, that somehow those who haven't served in the military would somehow have less of a desire in preserving and defending the Constitution.
It's interesting, everybody I know who has served in the military who has expressed an opinion on the issue has stated that above all, they believe in the right of others to express their opinions, that what they were defending when they served was the beauty of the divergent views and opinions that exist in this country. Sadly, most of what you've done on Patch is contrary to that concept. As you have done everything you can to squelch any legitimate conversation about these important issues.
No, sir, I have not served in the military. A fact that I am not ashamed of. And a fact that is irrelevant as to whether or not I have a strong desire to preserve and defend the Constitution. Nothing I have suggested is an attack on the Constitution.

"Following the lead of Pacifica and So Cal Surfrider Foundation - who has banned smoking on 30…Read More Southern California beaches"
"Surfrider" banned smoking on 30 Southern California beaches? They did nothing of the sort. Perhaps they are happy about it (works for me), but please do not give credit to them for something they did not do.
Drew Himmelstein (Editor) May 2, 2013 at 03:05 pm
Completely gross. I'm glad you're working on this issue.
Vanessa Castañeda (Editor) May 2, 2013 at 11:55 am
David, it's so true. I was out there on 4/20 picking up trash on the Pacifica beach for Earth Day.…Read More We picked up bags and bags of trash. Half of what we picked up was cigarette butts. It was pretty gross. Maybe smokers could repurpose doggie doo bags, which are usually available in public spaces, as temporary cigarette butt holders.

Harry - "I have no problem with listening to ideas and discussing problems..."
Well,…Read More let's be specific - in an era of 70-1 population size/states, do you think the 2 Senators per state formula should remain in effect? Do you think the filibuster threat combined with 2 Senators per state instills too much power in the minority?
As for amending Constitution, do you think the 3/4 of the states formula, which can enable a VERY small minority to thwart a VERY large majority should remain in effect? What about a simple national referendum that required 60% of the PEOPLE to decide?
Do you accept that certain fears, protections, uncertainties that confronted the Founders are not AS present today as 225 years ago rendering certain "protections/procedures/protocols" dated?
Harry E. Smith May 1, 2013 at 05:05 pm
I have no problem with listening to ideas and discussing problems and trying to come to an equitable…Read More solution. Now only if the self-serving idiots we have in Congress would get to talking and LISTENING, problems might actually be start to be solved.
Letting the courts 'create' law is not the answer. The people still have a CHANCE to move change forward with their votes, but if they continue on with their idiotic re-electing of the same posturing fools who still get nothing done, we deserve our fate of never ending problems.
Robert Defulgentiis May 1, 2013 at 04:47 pm
Harry - "I think most Americans would rather submit to majority rule"
Well we do in such…Read More things as local and statewide elections...and we kinda do in national elections, though electoral college isn't pure majority rule. But I don't think Constitutional issues should be subject to a pure majority threshold vote - that kind of change should be difficult.............but how difficult? In a nation where the largest state is 70 X the size of the smallest - I don't think 2 senators each makes sense..especially when you factor in filibuster power. That formula needs adjusting....it needs to be discussed.
Likewise, it should not even be possible for the 13 smallest states repping 13 million to disable 37 states repping 300 million from amending the Constitution. The amending formula also needs adjusting....it needs to be discussed.
