What is a SMOK TFV4 Mini Tank?
Constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel, SmokTech did not skimp on any of the details when they created the TFV4 Mini Sub Ohm Tank—a smaller version of their original design. The stainless steel structure of the TFV4 Mini offers a durable and solid design that is also quite corrosion resistant, which makes it a perfect material for vaping. The finish of the metal itself also gives a high-polished and clean look to the tank's design, in both colors of stainless steel and stealth black.
The TFV4 Mini is equipped with a truly innovative wide-bore drip tip. Paying attention to every detail of their sub ohm tank, SmokTech even made sure that their drip tip function better than before. They added a dual-barrel feature to their wide bore drip tip that leaves a 1.5mm gap between the two layers. This added detail makes a noticeable difference to the feel of the drip tip as it allows the drip tip to stay cool to touch even through heavy usage.
The tank of the TFV4 Mini is made from high-quality Pyrex glass, making for a very durable tank that is resistant to even the hardiest of e-liquid flavors for a pure tasting vape with every pull. But the true ingenuity of the TFV4 Mini sub ohm tank lies with its top-fill e-liquid system. Rather than taking the tank off of a device and unscrewing it apart to be able to refill; The user can simply slide the top cap off and refill their tank through the bored filling slot, making refilling as effortless as taking a pull.
Bringing your attention to the base of the TFV4 Mini, you will notice Smoktech's added airflow control valve. By using this valve, any user has the ability to dial in on the perfect amount of airflow that is suited to their preference for a truly customized vape.
The quality of the TFV4 Mini doesn't stop with its construction, Smoktech made their tank truly incredible through the variety of their replacement coils for this tank system. Varying atomizer builds and resistances truly allows for any user to have a satisfying vape from the TFV4. The TF-Q4 is built with four separate internal coils, the TF-T3 sports three coil heads and the TF-S6 has an incredible 6 coil system. Regardless of the amount of coils inside the coil head, each type is wicked with organic Japanese cotton for a pure tasting vape and huge cloud production for a very enjoyable vaping session.
The variety of coils does not stop there. The TFV4 Mini also has a CLP2 coil which is a dual Clapton coil head. This means a lower wattage for a warmer vape and even more vapor as Clapton wires allow for more surface area that can vaporize e-juice. For those who have a temperature control capable device, there is the TF-Ti coil head which is made with top-quality Titanium dual coils that allows for temperature sensing for a vape free of dry hits and burnt flavor.
Whether you are new to vaping or an expert, with the incredible features and huge variety of coil heads available to the TFV4 Mini Sub Ohm Tank, it is one tank that is sure to please.

The half-marathon race will start on the trailhead of the Bearskin State Trail located off Lakewood Rd. in Goodnow, south of Minocqua, WI. The finish is just past the final trailhead at Torpy Park, Minocqua. Racers will run on the Bearskin's crushed gravel surface following a route with few elevation changes, except for one short hill. Laid over an abandoned railway, the Bearskin takes the runner along woodlands, past marshes, lakes, and streams, and over several old abandoned wooden railway trestles. It is truly one of nature's most beautiful trails.

by	Del Moon	/ Friday, 10 April 2020	/ Published in Athlete of the Month
Ellen Jaffe Jones, 67, Sarasota, Florida
While only a fraction of senior athletes follow a vegan diet, there is a trend with more turning to this option. Traditional opinions by coaches and athletes say that you can't perform as well athletically on a purely plant-based diet, but runner Ellen Jaffe Jones is out to disprove that thought. In fact, her says her own experience has already done that.
"After a 5K I ran in Florida in 2011, I was on the podium holding a trophy and wearing a bright neon yellow shirt with the cover of my book Eat Vegan on $4 a Day on it," she recalls. "This guy tells me, 'You can't run on a vegan diet, and you certainly can't race on a vegan diet.' At that point, I had been running for 30 years and answered, 'Let's have that conversation.'"
Ellen leads a lot of conversations on the subject. Her early career as a television news investigative and consumer reporter provided the communication skills to become a speaker, author of six books, and host of an active website and social media pages about vegan diet and lifestyle. "There's a perception that vegans are weak and all they eat is spinach and broccoli with no variety," she says. "That couldn't be farther from the truth."
She began to shy away from meat protein after college when she gained weight while touring as a cast member of Up With People. "I was 150 pounds on a five-foot-three frame – not pretty or comfortable," she recalls. "I did all the high protein diets – Atkins, South Beach, Zone Diet. After I almost died from a colon blockage when I was 28, I ran to the bookstore and read everything on fiber, and when I focused on fiber over protein the weight came off."
Ellen's family history was reason enough to evaluate diet. "I've watched my mom and both sisters get breast cancer, and my aunt died from it at an early age," she says solemnly. "One of my sisters got diabetes and eventually died from heart disease. All my life has been focused on how to avoid this mayhem. We've been sold a bill of goods with ad campaigns for meat and dairy that promote misconceptions not based on science. There's a lot of research now linking dairy to breast cancer, for example."
Fitness running became a part of her life 40 years ago. In recent years she added track competition, making it to Nationals three times. She reports always being a "middle-of-the-packer" but that her performances have improved over time. She is proud to have secured 1500-meter gold in her Florida Senior Games qualifier, and to be on the women's 65-69 4×100 winning relay team at The Games in Albuquerque last year. She was also one of only two women of 66 athletes in her age group to run all six track events plus the relay. "I recently placed my 199th 5K or longer race since 2006 just on plants," she notes. "I'm now running a 27-minute 5K, and I never ran that fast. Many of the women who used to beat me like crazy 15 years ago aren't even running anymore."
Ellen adds a big reason she entered athletics was to share that vegans largely do not get arthritis. "Animal protein lodges in the joints," she says. "Arthritis specialists and organizations are now saying to cut down or eliminate animal protein to cut down on symptoms of osteoarthritis. And that includes dairy."
Her bottom line is that people should research and make up their own mind about diet. "There's no money in broccoli. There's no broccoli association or lobby, and that's why we haven't heard the good news about it and its sisters and brothers," she explains. "When you understand that, you have to be your own investigative reporter to figure out the truth about food."

Tomás Chadwick Valdés (La Serena, 26 de agosto de 1911 - 1997) fue un abogado y político chileno, militante del Partido Socialista (PS) y de la Unión Socialista Popular (USP).

Fue senador de la República por la Segunda Agrupación Provincial de Atacama y Coquimbo entre 1965 y 1973.

Primeros años de vida

Era hijo de Roberto Tomás Chadwick Castro y Adriana Valdés Astaburuaga, a través de su hermano Herman, era tío de los políticos Herman, Andrés entre otros.

En 1930, se trasladó desde La Serena a Santiago junto a su hermano Herman, para estudiar Derecho en la Universidad de Chile. Una vez instalados en una pensión cercana a la Plaza de Armas, comenzaron a involucrarse en la vida pública.

El mismo año de su llegada a Santiago, y hasta 1932, trabajó como funcionario del Ministerio de Justicia. En 1933 ingresó al Partido Socialista, en el que permanecería durante más de 40 años. Entre 1936 y 1962 ejerció en el Consejo General del Colegio de Abogados, y en 1937 fue ayudante en su misma universidad. Se tituló de abogado en 1939 con una tesis titulada De la naturaleza jurídica del dolo.

Matrimonio e hijos
Se casó con Rebeca Weinstein Rudoy, con quien tuvo cuatro hijos: Mariana, Tomas, Isabel y Roberto. Esta línea familiar de los Chadwick-Weinstein es una de las pocas y más relevantes de la izquierda política dentro de los Chadwick.

Vida pública
Hacia 1954 trabajaba como notario público. Como socialista, se opuso a la dictadura de Carlos Ibáñez del Campo, del que también era pariente lejano. Entre el 4 y el 16 de octubre de 1963 participó en la Primera Reunión de la Comisión Redactora del Código Penal Tipo para Latinoamérica, realizado en Santiago de Chile.

En 1965 fue elegido senador por la Segunda Agrupación Provincial de Atacama-Coquimbo, por el período 1965-1973. Durante su período parlamentario lo apodaron «El Puré», por sus «espesas» intervenciones políticas. A la mitad de su período senatorial, en 1967, abandonó el Partido Socialista e ingresó en la Unión Socialista Popular, donde permaneció hasta 1970, año en el que se vio afectado por una hemiplejia.

El día del golpe de Estado en Chile de 1973, su yerno, el sociólogo Claudio Jimeno Grendi, esposo de su hija Isabel, con quien tenía dos hijos, fue detenido y más tarde asesinado, ocultándose sus restos y por tanto convirtiéndose en uno de los muchos detenidos desaparecidos de su país durante la dictadura militar de Augusto Pinochet. Durante todo ese periodo de dictadura y hasta su muerte, Tomás se mantuvo como independiente y permaneció alejado de las reuniones clandestinas socialistas.

A lo largo de su existencia publicó varios artículos en la Revista de Derecho, Jurisprudencia y Ciencias.

Otras actividades públicas
Secretario del Ministerio de Hacienda (1941-1945).
Candidato a Senador por Santiago en 1950, para llenar la vacante dejada por el fallecido Arturo Alessandri Palma, pero fue derrotado por Arturo Matte Larraín (PL).
Jefe de la Sección Criminal del Servicio de Asistencia Judicial del Colegio de Abogados de Chile (1951-1960).

"That was a tough ball game, getting down 14-0 so early. I thought our guys did a great job of coming back. It started to get clearer as the game unfolded that we would be able to move the ball with consistency and get points on the board. Then it became a question if it was going to be enough points on the board because they were moving the ball equally as well. Being down 14-0 and coming back showed a lot. I'm proud of guys for what they got accomplished on that end of it. Defensively, we weren't playing very well. We started applying pressure in the second half, and particularly the fourth quarter, which made a big difference in the outcome of the game. Once we didn't allow the quarterback to just sit back there, it helped us and caused them some problems. We got a 15 yard penalty out of a blitz, interception out of a blitz, sack on fourth down out of a blitz. We have a pretty fast football team on the defensive side of it. I think moving people like that seemed to be a good thing for us."
"We knew that they were very capable of scoring and scoring a lot. It wasn't a surprise that they were able to get some things done early in the game. It was a bit of a surprise that we got down 14-0 as quick as we did. The fact that we were able to move the ball as well, and at times better, gave us some encouragement. We didn't have a punt in the first half, only one punt in the whole game. When that is occurring, it means we're moving the ball. We have a good combination of being able to explode on runs and passes to where we can get the explosive plays and put points on the board. We can grind it out and drive the ball down the field with intermediate passes and runs. It's a good combination that we have going for ourselves right now. There are going to be a lot of challenges ahead with really good MAC defenses that we will be facing. We just have to take a breath and get going again."
"I think for the most part, offensively, we did. Defensively, I don't think we played a complete game. As we unleashed them in the second half, they played much better. Our special teams, we can cover kickoffs better than what we have. Kickoff returns were okay. For returning punts, the first one we tried to block and didn't get anything done there. Papi (White, WR) had maybe one return, for seven or so yards. We didn't get a chance to measure that as to if we played a good game in the special teams department or not in terms of overall. There were some things that we need to get better at."
"He's a very confident player, very bright player. He's not the kind that repeats mistakes and you feel comfortable, even when something like that goes wrong, he'll find a way to come back. He can hurt you in so many ways. In the first half he did a great job on some runs that gave us big and explosive plays and kept those drives going. Which enabled us to get points on the board to get back in the ballgame after we were down 14-0."
"Overall I was happy about a lot of things. If we get shutdown on a run and you become one dimensional, you have problems. We work very hard at running the football and try to be sure we give our passing game a chance. If you have both going for you, you have your best chance."
"You look at Maleek (Irons, RB) and A.J. (Ouellette, RB), they had some really exciting things happen when the ball was in their hands. Nathan just has a way of escaping when it seems like they have him surrounded. He has enough speed to make the really long runs, the quickness to make people miss. If you include him in the running game, which we do a fair amount, that gives you your best chance of having a good running offense when he's a part of it. We expected to be pretty good on the offensive side of it. We have most of our offensive linemen returning. We have the best group of receivers we've probably had here when you go across the starters and look at the young people starting to come forth here. So it should be an offensive football team that is able to get something done in most cases."
"I think that's a good question. I think we have great leadership on this team overall. Whether there is just one guy stepping up trying to take over or a guy that just encourages everyone to get things done at a high level and brings everybody along with him, I don't know. I think we'll see that unfold a little better as we get into the conference race. We got a lot of guys on the practice field that encourage one another. There's a great relationship built there, great comradery between our players. Whether it's just one guy on the defensive side of it, I'm not so sure."
"Well, we needed that. We need to get pressure on the quarterback and we need to get some sacs. We need to not just be in our four-man-front defense and be a base defensive football team. I don't know that just being like that fits us. We've got good team speed; I think that by moving people, slanting people and blitzing people it gives you your best chance to utilize your talent sometimes. You can't just do it all the time because obviously they'll just start throwing bombs on you and releasing it, but I think we have to have a really good mixture of that in our defensive teams."
"I think we're getting better every game. That has been through the first four ball games. I think we can continue to improve in maybe leaps and bounds in some areas to where we can be the football team that we want to be as we try to head through the MAC. I think the MAC's a really strong conference right now in terms of everybody's capable to win. We're going to have to play really well. We're going to have to stay away from getting too banged up as we go through the season, but all I know is next week we'll be in for a tough, physical football game. That's what it is when you're in the MAC and then as you get into shorter weeks, your games come, that makes things even more difficult. A lot of challenges, but I like the way this team accepts challenges."
"Yeah, to some degree, I think that's an accurate statement. I knew we would be a team that got better and better as it went along. I knew we were going to be somewhat young defensively. We lost two starters at the nose and tackle; we lost two inside linebackers that were great linebackers. You don't lose that combination there without it affecting you some. You have to have time for the younger guys to grow into their roles and the backup guys to get to where they can contribute and help you. I didn't know that they would be playing at the level I wanted them to play at early in the year. I wanted them to be exactly what we are: a team that seems to be getting better and better every game."
"We've allowed too much penetration on some of the inside running game, which tells you that you better start running outside a bit. We'll look at that. I think that in this game, the fumble was something we can work on and not have it be a problem. Some of the other stuff will come down to us as coaches, getting things worked out a little bit to make sure that we're giving our players their best chance when they get down there to put the ball in the end zone.
"Well, a couple things I guess. I love the game, always have. Once I got into coaching, I always loved coaching. I don't know that I can do anything else, so that kind of keeps me going in the coaching ranks. Being around these guys kind of keeps you young a bit—they won't let you grow old, peacefully. They will not let it happen. So that's good for me. I enjoy being around them. They're all kind of challenges, though, and sometimes you kind of shake your head and wonder, 'what in the world are you doing?' But it's been great; I've been around great kids and I've been around great coaches. When you can tie in being around some great administrative people, then you give yourself a chance to stay in the profession and enjoy it the way I do. You don't want to many games like this or last week's game—don't want any more like that. Those are really tough on you. It was tough to let go of that one last week. There are just two games that I have had memories about on the last drive in my career and that was one of them last week. I'm moving on, I'm not talking about that anymore. I'm done."
"They've got to be a unit that keeps playing hard. If they do that, we've got enough talent that if we keep playing hard and play smart, we're going to be okay. I trust that we'll keep getting better. We can score points. So if we keep getting better defensively, we score points and have a good special teams unit, that's how you win football games."
"No, that was a shame. He should get on his offensive lineman for not blocking on the screen. I've seen that a thousand times: an offensive lineman running down the field on draws and screens and just running down the field. It was set up pretty good, actually."
"It was definitely not the way we wanted to start the game, but it wasn't like a total lack of execution on myself or Cam's part, we just had a miscommunication. There's an argument to be made for what he saw, there's an argument to be made for what I saw, and we just realized, "hey that happens" and all we can do is move on. We were very successful at moving the ball up until that point and we're a resilient bunch, so I had confidence that we could get it going after that."
"Their ends— their outside, whatever they want to call it, their ends on the line of scrimmage were very aggressive. They were doing some things where they were exchanging gaps and our line did a great job of adjusting to what they were doing and we had a good game playing. I think the coaches did a good job."
"I felt like at some points we were in a little bit of a lull. It's a really good situation when we feel like, even if we're settling for field goals, that we feel like we're not doing our best. We kind of had that kind of feeling, but I think at some points we were even better than previous years. Honestly, I thought that we could do a lot of things with whatever looks they gave us and that just gives us a lot of confidence moving forward."
"We had a couple of attempts where we were right inside the 10-yard line that we would to capitalize on. We put a touchdown in there, you know, the game's really out of reach a lot sooner than it was. So, our defense did a really good job of kind of saving us, in a way, because we would really like to get in at that point. We'll make corrections, we'll move on from that. I think there's quite a lot of good things to take away from this game, so we'll enjoy it why we can and focus on Kent State."
"Our level of confidence the entire day was pretty high. We knew that we could move the ball away from the first series, it was just a matter today of finishing the drives and we did that on most of them, but there's still room for improvement."
"I think the completion percentage was up this game, right? Which is important to me and I think important to this offense: that we're balanced that we see when we got the offensive line that we have and then we have these two running the way that we do. We can involve guys like Cam and Papi and Andrew and we can use our tight ends and in the passing game we're going to be really tough to stop. If we can do that efficiently on a regular basis, we're going to be producing like we are today. We just have to go out there and execute every day."
"We don't really focus on that too much. We don't want to take away from what UMass is; they're a really talented team, they have a great coaching staff, they are very good offensively. We trust our defense to make some really good plays at the end of the game there and we just knew that if we kept on, if we kept the gas pedal down and kept going and taking care of what we needed to control then things would take care of themselves and we trust our defense we know that they're going to get things done. We we're really focusing on that."
We caught it from the sideline, I think everyone was pretty excited in their minds, but it would have been very hectic if we had executed that properly.
"To start the game off they were giving us some funny looks, but we have an experienced group up front and they came to the sideline, gave the coaches information. They got it fixed and after that it was just a wall of people with a huge gap, the gap could be anywhere— mainly it was backside. I learned that watching Maleek his first couple series in there, I mean, he's hit huge holes backside."
"It was nice, a couple of my runs, I know the touchdown run— they brought everyone in the box in and you know when there's one little crease there's nobody there. The safety was about five yards away from the line of scrimmage, not in the right spot then there's no way for him to get hands on me. He read it wrong and opened up big gaps for us."
"When I come out and he goes in, I know he's going to wear out the safety's and the linebackers. If you look at his legs, I mean, I wouldn't want to tackle that dude. It's a good change of pace, we're pretty similar in running styles, so he's just going to wear out the defense just like I'm going to except in the fourth quarter we're both going to be fresh, so I think the Bobcats have the upper hand there."
"I think we came out to prove a point, and I think— someone said the offense broke some kind of record (in the locker room) so the offense came out just ticked off, ready to play some football."
"I would say the same thing. At the beginning of the game, they were kind of throwing some stuff at us that we couldn't see. We have a veteran group that can pick things up easily, it's just a quick communication and then they started slanting really hard at their ends, so their cutback was just there all the time."
"It's just what we need, it feels good. Nothing's better than a big run."
"I'd say it's definitely a lot more comfortable, more in the stride than it was, but I feel good. I'm excited for what this season holds."
"We try to focus on just doing our thing, moving the ball, getting touchdowns, getting points on the board, let defense do their thing, let us do our thing."
"Our guys played hard; they have a good team. MAC got their revenge on us, officiating-wise—that's the worst I've ever been a part of. I've been in the SEC, I've been in the NFL and I've never seen anything so bad: six holds against none until the end. At least when I got a 15-yarder the guy finally threw a flag. I thought our guys fought hard at the end there. We couldn't make enough plays. They have a good team and they were home, and I thought our guys were certainly ready to play because we went up 14-nothing. We just have to get ready for next week. We didn't make enough plays to beat a team like that. "
"It's the same guy that called two holds on us. I mean we all saw it down that way and we got a little momentum, but it's hard enough to win on the road. Like I said, I understand if it's the SEC, but we've had that crew before. It is what it is. As I said to the guys, we've got to move forward and they fought. The young guys got better, especially the two young receivers that played and stepped up. But it was kind of the way it was going to be and they didn't let the kids decide it. I credit Ohio; Frank and their guys did a good job. Rourke is a really good player; everybody knows that. We picked them early, but two good running backs and we just couldn't outscore them."
"Ross missed a throw there at the end there, but in the series he did a nice job. He went down and hit Izzy on the post and then made a couple runs. They've got a little bit of a blitz thing. Andrew had the interception, but again, he's throwing to Izzy and he gets mugged. Other than that they made some good plays. They just didn't get any takeaways; they didn't get any splash plays on defense. We needed to make one there at the end and that was the difference; we couldn't do it. They did; they got the interception and picked up the flag."

Bouncy, moisturized, defined curls are the goal of almost every natural woman that I know. Unfortunately, being natural is no cakewalk and our hair can become damaged by something as simple as improper styling to full blown heat damage.
The first thing these problems affect is our beloved curl patterns! It can make our hair limp, frizzy, dry, and tangled—and most importantly, it puts a damper on our ability to style our hair like we want to.
Luckily this DIY sweet almond and hempseed curl repair mask works amazingly to put the life back into your kinks, curls, and coils!
Pour 4 tablespoons of Bentonite Clay into a plastic mixing bowl. Add in the 1/2 to 1 cup of aloe vera juice to the mix.
Depending on how thick or runny you want the consistency to be, you'll need to experiment with the amount of aloe vera juice. If you want it to be thicker, use half a cup or less.
If you want to pay attention to one specific spot (i.e. roots or ends of hair) you can apply a thicker paste to that area and spread the thinner paste elsewhere.
If you don't like aloe vera juice, apple cider vinegar or regular water will work just as good.
After you've created a paste, add in 1 teaspoon of sweet almond oil, hempseed oil, and tea tree oil. Stir everything together until all ingredients are completely blended.
If you want to add in an essential oil, go for it! I personally really love to use peppermint oil because it improves scalp circulation which ultimately benefits hair growth in the long run. The smell also really makes me feel clean and cleansed!
Apply the clay mixture to dry or damp hair, making sure you coat everything from root to tip. Leave the mixture on for 3-5 minutes, wash out with warm water, and then rinse with cold water to close your scalp pores and seal in moisture.
For easier application, section off your hair into 2 or 4 parts.
Dry, moisturize, seal, and style your hair as usual. If you want your hair to breathe, let it air dry instead of immediately applying heat.
Alternatives: If you feel like your hair can handle it, try working the mix out of your hair without a hot oil treatment before you completely wash it. It can serve as a sort of pre-poo and further moisturize your kinks and curls.
Coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and argan oil are all light enough to use for a test run. Stay away from thicker oils like castor or olive oil.
You can also replace Bentonite clay with Rhassoul clay. Rhassoul clay will soften and moisturize your hair while Bentonite will cleanse and add more definition to your hair.You can use either one, just make sure your additives include what it's missing (i.e. if one clay moisturizes, then add in something that strengthens).

Abuela Con Nieta
Traveled with my nieta over the holidays — her first time in Europe. We based ourselves in Madrid but made 3 night trips to Paris, Barcelona and San Sebastian. Paris was at the top of her list but she ended up loving San Sebastian best and Barcelona second best. I wasn't surprised.
She loves visits to the art galleries and spent lotsa time there. And I mean lotsa time! San Sebastian has no museos in the league of Louvre nor Prado, but she digs the vibe in this Basque city so much that I'm convinced she can live there.
Traveling as abuela y nieta, our pair must have invited some attention. Or at least we were marked. Or perhaps SHE was marked. More than once, I was asked "Donde esta la chica?" She'd always find a vacant seat on the train where she can more comfortably sit, or stray away from me while we're in line. She'd get free admission to some museos when the man at the window would ask if she's a student. No student ID nor passport copy, but she gets in free or at a discount while her abuela pays the regular rate. She's out of her teens now but still acts like a child like when I couldn't get a decent shot of her without her tongue sticking out or her crinkling her nose.
Our vacation lasted a full month. She'd tease we didn't quarrel as much as expected and laugh. I was happy to show her around, much that museos and art galleries were coming out of my ears. She discovered she's a good dishwasher and that she easily forgets things. I discovered I can appreciate street and urban art too. We share food preferences and love bubblies. She likewise shops like me — quick, decisive and wise. Ahem.
I am certain "art appreciation" was the highlight of this trip. I have seen how she spent for art materials and art books, more than she spent for those fashion stuff. For sure, she has set her sights on a return trip knowing how she has enjoyed this holiday.
While in Madrid, she found time to meet with her friends now studying there. It was amusing to see her playing tour guide cum photographer. Their photos speak volumes on how much they enjoyed each other's company, sticking tongues and all 😜 She loves Spain. And judging by how she's been painting lately, mi nieta is inspired. 💕👩🏻🎨🎨

If I were traveling solo, I'd likely NOT pay much attention. But my nieta drew me closer to urban art. In my book, they are pure and simple graffiti. Except of course for the open air sculptures in brass or bronze. Not so, says my artist-nieta. So I looked closer. Yeah, there's an element of "intimacy" in such a public art expression. A connection of sorts. Some make sense, others don't. Like this piece in Barcelona near Parc Güell. A pair of eyes to "guard" the shop. A closer scrutiny reveals they're Albert Einstein's eyes. Or this piece in Zaragosa near the Mercado Central, just a few meters from the Plaza del Pilar. Shop for the bad kids? Hmmm. And it was Christmastime when we found this.
There is an area called La Tabacalera in Madrid. A venue for self-expression but we failed to visit the area as it rained, snowed or hailed the last few days of our Madrid stay. That would have been interesting. But walking home, we weren't deprived of Madrid's rebel spirit and creative permissiveness. The shops either sported these graffiti, or someone sneaked in to express himself while no one's looking.
Atocha Station has some interesting artworks on display just outside the station's Arrivals area. And there's Tupperware — a hipster bar frequented by young locals. The bar's front displays some artwork that changes from time to time.
In San Sebastian and Zaragosa, we found many walls, doors, defaced with graffiti. Like spray-painted Swastikas, Hitler images, or just plain messages.
I can imagine shadowy characters sneaking in with their stencils and spray paint cans, finishing the job in a few minutes lest they get caught. Mind you, my nieta was having all these crazy ideas herself to a point she had a stencil ready and a can of spray paint. Yay! Time to go home.

To Montserrat & Back
Home of the Black Madonna. Just an hour's journey via R5 from Placa de Espanya Station in Barcelona heading towards Manresa. One must decide before the train ride whether to ride the "connecting" cable car or funicular Cremallera up to the monastery. If you've decided to take the cable car, you need to get off the R5 train at the Aeri de Montserrat. If you are taking the funicular, you get off at the next station, the Monistrol de Montserrat. Slightly longer but cheaper. Combined tickets (train+cable car OR train+Cremallera) can be purchased at Placa de Espanya.
Either way, the ride guarantees stunning views. Montserrat literally translates to "serrated mountains". The train weaves through the mountains as it climbs, and the cable car or cremallera gives an even more panoramic view as the short ride transports you right on Monastery grounds. The Black Madonna sits inside and at the top of the altar inside the basilica. We waited in line with other pilgrims for half an hour to go up and touch the Black Madonna. We also heard mass where Gregorian chants were sung by a boys' choir from the monastery's boarding school. On Saturdays, the chants are sung by the monks. We came on a Friday and the singing was heavenly!
Either before or after the visit to the basilica, you can linger around to appreciate the stunning beauty of Montserrat. Or light a candle and say more prayers. We did both. But we couldn't stay longer outdoors because it was friggin' cold! We could even hardly go past the beautiful square & courtyard of the Monastery, because of the freezing weather. Then and there, I ditched plans to check out the footpaths and hiking trails. Not even a funicular ride to reach higher grounds or to check St. Michael's Cross or Santa Cova could lure me to engage in any adventure. Besides, it's way past our feeding time 😩
< img src="https://marilil.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_8569-1.jpg” class="size-full">
And so we've decided to have our adventure inside the Hotel Abat Cisneros Montserrat instead. The hotel is right beside the Monastery. Other lunch options include the Cafeteria which I've tried twice before. Nothing fancy. But a peek into the hotel's dining area and a browse-through of its Menu convinced us that we're ready for a proper meal. Lamb for the nieta and pulpo for the señora abuela. And a small bottle of vino blanco between us. Purrrrrfect!

My nieta said she can live here. She had her entire face nearly pressed on the window as we trained into Barcelona Sants Station, then hopped on the metro for Liceu Station in La Rambla. A short walk to our hotel….. and La Boqueria. We knew we won't grow hungry in this part of town.
It was reassuring to find many policemen and patrol cars every so many meters in this part of town. We felt safe walking out of our hotel right into La Rambla. We made trips to La Boqueria for breakfast and lunch, only to find that the resto beside our hotel serves very good paella negra. I kid you not. Just don't order the sangria which is exhorbitantly priced! We were happy with our meal till we asked for "la cuenta". And so we justified that bill by saying we got a good discount from Museu Picasso, viewed/stepped on a Joan Miró artwork for free, and discovered the pleasure of strolling past Barri Gotic and enjoying La Ribera and El Born. Swell.
La Rambla is a strip that joins Placa Catalunya at one end with La Rambla del Mar on the other end. If you care for fountains and doves or need to get on a hop on/ hop off sightseeing bus, walk towards Placa Catalunya. If you want the sea breeze and errr, more doves, proceed towards the waters. Along the strip itself, you have La Boqueria, Liceu Theatre, and Palau Güell Museum on one side and on the other side, Barri Gotic which includes the Placa Real, and Barcelona Cathedral.
Farther on, you reach the La Ribera and the less touristy El Born neighborhood. Still part of the charming Ciutat Vella, without the hordes of tourists. Having spent time in this area, enjoying quiet dinners, one is inclined to think 80% of the tourists are either in Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell, La Rambla, La Boqueria, Casa Batllo or La Pedrera.
After all, Barcelona is largely all about Gaudi. Many on every tourist's list are creations of Antoni Gaudi. No one takes the blame here — the man's a genius! My nieta can't have enough of him.

Not So Itsy-Bitsy Spider (Guggenheim Bilbao)
It's a nursery rhyme I find myself humming each time I come visiting Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Sure, most people would visit to view what's on exhibit inside the museo, while others would be quite content just viewing Guggenheim's magnificent architectural wonder made of titanium, glass and limestone. In a sense, one can say the most significant work of art in this museo is the modern and contemporary style of the edifice itself. Designed by Frank Gehry, completed in 1997, hailed as a 20th century masterpiece. And indeed, it is! But much that I find the glass and titanium masterpiece awesome, I am particularly lured by this giant spider sculpture!
The day and time we visited, there was even some sort of a "fogging machine" around the edifice making the entire complex looking even more dramatic. Yet even without it, there is already enough drama in Guggenheim Museum with the giant spider, giant puppy topiary and the majestic red bridge. No camera whore nor aspiring photographer could miss these iconic landmarks. Unfortunately, Jeff Koons' "Puppy" looks forlorn without the blooms. Made of stainless steel, this work of art is typically festooned with the most colorful flowers. Not in winter though. From the comforts of a sushi restaurant across the street where we nourished ourselves (a girl's got to eat!), we viewed Koons' giant terrier sculpture from the floor to ceiling glass window. Sad. It lost its magic from its spring version (shown here for comparison).
The not so itsy-bitsy spider by Louise Bourgeois makes up for the pup's slack. On the other side of Gehry's creation is this 9 meter-tall bronze, marble and stainless steel sculpture. It even has a name – Maman. If you stand underneath the giant spider, you'd find a sac of marble eggs embedded on its stomach. The artist designed it as such to honor her weaver-mom and to project the protective nature of mothers.
Lastly, let's not forget the red bridge and row of buildings just across the river. No cam whore can possibly do wrong taking shots of these sights. But please do take the time to pause and appreciate this entire composition of works of art outside the confines of the Museo. After a few snapshots, breathe in all this beauty. I'm attached to the giant spider sculpture perhaps because the artist meant it as a tribute to his mom. Yeah. I'm a sucker for such stories.
Btw, no photography is allowed inside the Museum. Hmmm, so this explains all these exterior shots. I sneaked in a few shots though. Mi apologia.

A Pleasant Moorish Surprise In Zaragosa
Early Tuesday morning, we took the train to Zaragosa. Just a quick visit to the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Pilar, La Seo del Salvador and the Palacio de la Aljaferia. As the train chugged through towns blanketed in white-out snow, we braced ourselves for low temps as we reached Zaragosa. We could feel the cold almost touching our spine as our hands touched the train's glass windows. Beanies and mittens on!
From the Zaragosa-Delicias Station, we hailed a cab to take us to our hotel. Dropped our bags in the hotel and stepped out almost immediately to hail another cab to drive us to Plaza del Pilar where the Basilica and La Seo stand across each other. Walking in this cold weather was not an ideal option. Upon reaching the Plaza del Pilar, we found so much going on there. Looks like some festivity just ended (3 Kings, I bet) and the decor, Christmas booths, kiddie rides are all being dismantled and packed away. But the entire Plaza del Pilar is sooo quiet. Hardly a crowd. We had a field choosing where to eat in the restos lining the square.
No photography was allowed inside where gaping is a common occurrence. The chapels, the dome, the vaulted ceilings, the many antique and art pieces are simply mind-boggling. Between the Basilica and La Seo, we were "churched out". I've read somewhere that La Seo's interiors are even lovelier than the Basilica's. I do not disagree. Unfortunately, I don't have photos to prove this comparison.
But what surprised us most is the Palacio de Aljaferia. We walked from the Plaza del Pilar to here. Surely, the Aljaferia is one of the finest examples of Hispanic-Muslim art, or Mudejar. This style was later copied at the Alcazar in Sevilla, as well as the more-visited Mudejar masterpiece in Alhambra in Granada. I have been to both and the garden and palace similarities are unmistakable. The series of arches, carved ceilings, the elaborate and intricately designed windows and doors. It is hard to imagine this 11th century structure was a woeful sight in near ruins despite being declared a National Monument of Historical and Artistic Interest in 1931. Then UNESCO declared its Aragonese Mudejar architecture a World Heritage Site.
Having visited this Islamic palace, I am awed by its grand design — the oratory, the portico arches, the wooden and coffered ceilings, the tiled pavement, the corridor, the lavish plaster decor. No wonder this architectural wonder became the Palace of the Aragonese monarchs after Zaragosa was recaptured from the moors.
Mi piquena Alhambra. Odd that it actually was the prototype for that grand palace and gardens in Granada. But Mudejar art in Aragon truly flourished in its time. Magnificent is an understatement. The palace is a good introduction for those who have yet to visit Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada's Alhambra.
The Palace of Joy. It was. It is. Its beauty does not overwhelm. Its grandeur does not intimidate. Impressive, without being so imposing. It's a palace not intended to impress, but meant to be enjoyed. Both Moorish and Christian monarchs who took up residence here must have felt the same.

Another Museum (Thyssen) Day
Last of the big 3 in Madrid: Prado, Reina Sofia and now Thyssen-Bornemizsa. There are varied opinions on which is the best. I observed the older ones prefer the more academic, traditional, classical Renaissance art while the younger generation prefer the more modern, contemporary art. In Thyssen-Bornemizsa, one gets a good blend of both. I saved it for last for this reason, and because I thought my energy level would have dwindled by the nth museum and Thyssen has a very good, decent cafe where I can chill.
On a freezing afternoon, it was the perfect thing to do. No way you'd find us in some park or strolling the streets of Madrid. There were even days it slightly snowed in Madrid and the breeze just give our bones the chill. So another museum visit won't hurt. Besides, my nieta just couldn't have enough of it. (There's another small, even obscure museo she wants to visit which I haven't in the many trips I've made to Madrid. Well, we'll see. )
Thankfully, there were no lines. No crowd. Most everyone must be chillin' on bed. Hmm, the mere thought makes me want to go under a warm blanket, in a heated room. That should be comforting. Anyway, there's this business of viewing the TB collection. And this, I must say. Thyssen I find as the most visitor-friendly museum here. Well-curated, with long benches to sit on in nearly every hall. I also think it's difficult to "lose" someone here because the visit is so guided that one goes from hall to hall in a very orderly manner. Many times, I sat it out while nieta moved from here to there. When it was time to meet up, it was easy to find each other.
What I love about museum visits is that no matter how many times you go, you'd always find something new. Not exactly a new artwork, but more of how an old, even familiar piece can affect you. Is it one's mood at that moment? Have we "changed" without us noticing it? Hard to explain. But there were art pieces there I found truly interesting after some visits.
As for my nieta, she was happy she can take photographs unlike in Prado. In Reina Sofia, photography is allowed but not for Picasso's Guernika and some other major pieces. She wants to look them up more intimately and perhaps, even reproduce them. Picasso did the same. So did many others. So, why not?

Dos Veces En Museo Reina Sofia Para Mi Nieta (Madrid)
I've always known there would be many museums to visit with my nieta. But more visits to one museum? It happened. She asked to go back to Museo Reina Sofia. She felt the same way with Pompidou Center but our time in Paris was limited. Not so in Madrid. There was time.
I could feel the excitement within the glass elevator we took to start from the upper levels and taking our sweet time down to the lower levels. She grabbed a map of the museum while I paid for the audio guides. She lingered longer over the Dali pieces. My fav too but I prefer the more sober Dali artworks. My nieta likes the ones bordering on surrealism. And there's Miró, Magritte, Picasso, and 2 new favorites : Angeles Santos, whose Un Mundo she painted when she was only 18! And Juan Gris.
Apo (grandchild) was in Cloud 9. She had 4 hours to spend. That was the first thing she checked : closing time. It is a pattern: 4 hours in each museum. I should remember to wear more comfortable shoes next time. The lovely thing about Museo Reina Sofia is that she can take photos of many art pieces except for the obra maestras like Guernika by Picasso and some other celebrated works of the same artist and Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró. Truly, Spain reigned supreme in both Rennaissance and contemporary art.
Out in the streets of Madrid, she follows my lead as we navigated from Sol to Calle Mayor to Gran Via. Here within the Museo, she took the lead and shepherded me from hall to hall, and then back to the same halls where she found her favorites. She appreciated how her idols' art evolved in style, approach and boldness in both message, form and hues. She fell in love with Dali's works without loving the artist's character. 🙄 Well…. Dali is Dali with all his eccentricities.
< strong> < strong>
By the time she was ready to turn in her audio guide, she shifted her interest to the museum's tienda. She can't leave without buying a Dali book and more souvenirs. Another happy day for mi nieta. 💕💕💕

Botched Trip to Cochinillo Country
We were too lazy to plan where next to go. Giving in to instant and impromptu day trip plans, we woke up early one morning and decided we'd have a cochinillo lunch in Meson de Candido in Segovia. Hopped on the metro, off at Chamartin Station, straight into the Venta de Billetes to buy our ida y vuelta tickets for Segovia. We planned on staying at least 8 hours to enjoy the old town – the aquaduct, the Alcazar, Catedral, Museos, the cordero or cochinillo and a few, choice pastelerias. All in freezing -2C weather. But it snowed the night before in Segovia and the station is blanketed in snow. The man from Cercanias said the train will take us there but there's no way we can reach the town proper from the isolated estacion because no buses nor taxis are available to ferry us out of the train station. Boo!
(Here are photos sourced from the Net on Segovia situation. Same snow situation in Avila, btw)
And so we hurried back — just as it also started to snow in Chamartin Station — to the ticket office to return our day tickets and claim a refund. Another time, perhaps. But we're all bundled up for a day out and have no wish to be home early! Entonces, we returned to the ticket counter and bought tickets for the next train headed for….. Alcala de Henares. The hometown of Miguel de Cervantes, of Don Quixote fame. It is also home to a university founded by Cisneros. Cardinal, Regent and close adviser to Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabela of Castile.
We took the Cercanias slow train and reached Alcala in under an hour. Still freezing at 3C, we only managed to visit a church, Cervantes' Home, Plaza Cervantes with the ayuntamiento, the Universidad and the quaint, cobblestoned streets of Alcala de Henares. Oh yes, a little bit of "stork-watching" too. Told my sobrina and nieta that these storks seem to have "regal addresses" as they've taken up residences in many of the tall spires around this UNESCO Heritage Site.
Man of La Mancha. Don Quixote. And his squire Sancho Panza. We've met twice before and we meet a third time more. Their life-size bronze statues guard Cervantes' home, now a Museo. Casa Natal de Cervantes is right along the town's cobblestoned, columns-lined Calle Mayor. Just off the Plaza Cervantes which locals have spruced up for the Christmas Season.
The first time I visited Alcala, I was all by myself. I knew I'd be back with family and friends. I was particularly amused by the "stork community" and earlier blogged about it. Just click on this link. But certainly, this town's claim to fame lies in its old University and this celebrated man of literature. As for me, I'm happy enough to walk its streets, checking out those old columns, antique doors, gates, and (don't laugh now) water spouts.
Btw, we were lucky to have changed our train tickets from Segovia to Alcala. The cochinillo place was blanketed in inches of snow, trapping many along the roads. Looks winter-nice in photos, but glad to be spared the ordeal of having to wait to be rescued. God is good!

We didn't even have to discuss it. But the lines, the crowds, the noise, got to us. Gaudi had many fans, judging by the crowd that stood in line for Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell, La Pedrera and Casa Batllo. There was an area in Parc Güell where we nearly had the spot all to ourselves. But not for long. As for the rest of Gaudi's masterpieces, one simply co-exists with the rest of adoring fans. My nieta and I wanted some quiet time. Ciutat Vella is charming but the La Rambla y Barri Gotic areas are littered with camera-toting humans. A few more meters away and we settled in La Ribera. Still teeming with a vibrant vibe, but less touristy. We liked it better here, including El Born area.
My nieta had Museu Picasso in her bucket list but we failed to buy tickets online. We missed the one in Paris so we just had to check this one out. The line for the museum was tolerable, thank God. Housed in 5 of La Ribera's centuries-old medieval palaces, we were eager to get in and view Picasso's earlier works. I have to confess I enjoyed the collection better in San Francisco's MOMA, but I guess we needed to understand that the collection should be appreciated from another perspective. As I said, these are the master's earlier works and one traces how his art evolved from the traditional and academic to modernist and contemporary. Imagine his works at age 14. So young, yet his brush strokes spoke of his genius and artistry.
Although born in Malaga, Picasso chose to have this museum in Barcelona presumably because he likely feels more connected to this Catalan city. His good friend Jaume Sabartés had quite an extensive collection of his paintings, prints and drawings but Picasso himself added, albeit donated, much of the museum's extensive collection. More donations were acquired — from Picasso's widow, friends, other art collectors and various art galleries. Although the major works on exhibit included early Picasso works like the First Communion and Science and Charity, I am more intrigued by the artist's portraits of himself and beloved father as well as his 58 "versions" of Velasquez' Las Meninas.
I am a big fan of Diego Velasquez. His Las Meninas is prominently displayed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Pablo Picasso must be a big fan too. But why the 58 versions? What was he thinking? He donated his "recreation" of this major artwork when his good friend Sabartes died in 1968. And this is a quote from Picasso himself:
"If someone wants to copy Las Meninas, entirely in good faith, for example, upon reaching a certain point and if that one was me, I would say..what if you put them a little more to the right or left? I'll try to do it my way, forgetting about Velázquez. The test would surely bring me to modify or change the light because of having changed the position of a character. So, little by little, that would be a detestable Meninas for a traditional painter, but would be my Meninas."
— Picasso
Frankly, I still don't get it. I mean, 58 versions kind of smack of an obsession, IMHO. The pieces jump out in vivid colors, unlike the original piece. But Picasso surely made them "his own" in that "distorted, cubist style" so prevalent in his art. Quite prolific, this artist. Well, he did live to a ripe, full age with not an ounce of passion lost through his many (20,000!) works in an astonishing range of style. Maybe it pays to keep inspired? For sure, he had several muses but I'm not going into that. 🙄
Indeed, Pablo Picasso is one significant artist of the 20th century. He started off being trained by his own father, copying many major artworks, and later inventing and reinventing his art. The world became better. He left us with many creations. As well as notable quotes. Quite a man, this Picasso!
"The very act of creation is first of all an act of destruction." – Pablo Picasso

Home Latest News Robert Garcia Mayweather-Pacquiao Not happening, Mayweather-Cotto 2 is Appealing
Robert Garcia Mayweather-Pacquiao Not happening, Mayweather-Cotto 2 is Appealing
Robert Garcia told FightHype.com that he believes the proposed mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao won't happen. With every day that passes, the likelihood of seeing Mayweather-Pacquiao dwindles.
Most assume that if Mayweather passes on Pacquiao then he will presumably rematch Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto. While Garcia has stated that he, like everyone else, wants to see Mayweather-Pacquiao, a fight, he believes would be exciting, the idea of Mayweather-Cotto is interesting to the high-profile trainer.
There is some dissension amongst fans and media regarding a potential Mayweather-Cotto rematch. It seems like most are dissatisfied with the idea of a rematch, some don't care, and a small percentage are happy to see it.
The first fight was somewhat competitive, but not nearly as much when put into perspective. It was competitive, but the degree is blown out of proportion when you factor in the Mayweather grading curve.
Cotto did well when comparing his performance to the majority of Mayweather's opponents, especially at that time. However, the fight wasn't so competitive or exciting that it warrants a rematch.
Still, the fight isn't awful, but because fans were so intent on seeing Mayweather-Pacquiao and because they appeared so close to finalizing a deal, at least closer than ever before, a promotion involving anyone else other than Pacquiao will be disappointing by comparison.
There are some newly developed storylines that makes the idea of a Mayweather-Cotto rematch a bit more interesting this time around and Garcia is adamant about one of them.
Since Mayweather defeated Cotto by unanimous decision in 2012, Cotto has won the lineal middleweight title and has rejuvenated his career upon switching trainers to Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's longtime trainer.
Garcia believes that Roach is a key element for Cotto heading into a potential Mayweather rematch.
"I wouldn't mind watching [Mayweather-Cotto] because their first fight was close and now Cotto has shown a lot of improvement now that he's working with Freddie Roach. It might be a different story now. [Cotto] is big, he's a solid 154 pounder so it would be interesting to see that fight," Garcia told FightHype.com.
Cotto has grown into a bigger fighter since fighting Floyd the first time, but Freddie Roach told Thaboxingvoice.com a few weeks ago that he doesn't believe Mayweather will attempt to win Cotto's middleweight title and instead demand the fight happen with a junior middleweight limit.
Regardless, Garcia giving Roach credit is significant for a few reasons. It wasn't that long ago when Garcia and Roach were beefing in the media and their rivalry was as strong as ever. However, Garcia is a standup individual with a strong character, and he has always respected Roach's training abilities. Still,
Garcia didn't have to credit Roach at all and the fact that he did means he truly believes Cotto is a significantly better fighter now that Freddie is in his corner, but will it be enough against Mayweather?

Delray and Boynton approve rules to regulate sober homes
By Brooke Baitinger and Ryan Van Velzer
| Sun Sentinel |
Delray Beach and Boynton Beach are ready to regulate sober homes and other types of community housing in response to the opioid crisis gripping South Florida and the rest of the country.
Delray and Boynton on Tuesday night unanimously approved new rules for group homes. Both cities will require group homes to be licensed through a regulatory entity such as the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, a Boca Raton-based organization.
Sober homes, also known as recovery residences or halfway houses, shelter people recovering from alcohol or drug addiction. The new regulations aim to enact a regulatory system meant to help preserve the character of neighborhoods.
A Sun Sentinel investigation found hundreds of people in Delray Beach are overdosing on drugs just beyond the group homes that are supposed to help them recover. The vast majority of overdoses in Delray happen in neighborhoods where sober homes are concentrated, predominantly on the city's east side.
Drug overdoses rampant in Delray's sober home neighborhoods
By Irfan Uraizee and Ryan Van Velzer
Some homes and treatment centers in South Florida, run by unscrupulous operators, have come under fire for luring people from other regions of the country with cash, gift cards and discounted rents, primarily to collect on their insurance policies, authorities say.

Many people wind up on the streets, returning to drug use, according to a report commissioned in Palm Beach County.
Paramedics handled 5,000 overdose calls in Palm Beach County last year. In Broward County, opioids killed 582 people last year.
Delray's new law would affect most community residences, including sober homes and other group homes for people with disabilities. Under the ordinance, each new community residence of four or more people should be at least 660 feet — about one city block — from one another. To move closer, they would need a city-issued permit.
The rule would apply only to new community residences and would not be imposed on existing ones.
"This legislation will save lives in this community," said Delray Beach Mayor Cary Glickstein.
The city will have to consider adding the necessary funding in upcoming budget cycles to enforce the ordinance, he said.

"While this is broadly based and broadly applied, we are not going to be able to implement with current staff," he said.
It also would require all community residences to have a license, certification or accreditation from a regulatory body like the Florida Association of Recovery Residences. If one isn't available, the community residence could again seek a permit from the city.
The ordinance is based on findings from a zoning study commissioned by the city to learn more about the impacts of community residences on Delray Beach.
"This is not a silver bullet, there is a lot more that we have to do and can do," said Commissioner Jim Chard.
Al Johnson, Chief Assistant State Attorney for Palm Beach County, supported the city's new rules.
"I think the city went about it in a compassionate and thoughtful way," Johnson said. "They've come up with the right idea — the protection of residents as opposed to banning group homes that house people with disabilities."

Boynton city officials drafted new rules during a six-month moratorium that temporarily halted processing for new group-home applications, which ended on June 4.
Boynton officials approved the new rules unanimously in an hourslong meeting Tuesday night. Many residents at the meeting voiced their concerns, including Neill Timmons, owner and operator of Arch to Freedom, a Boynton sober home.
Timmons applauded officials for rules that he said were reasonable.
"I was so terrified you were going to shut down every sober home on every block and I was going to have to go work at Denny's or something," he said. "I've been doing this for a little over four years. It's my passion."
He responded to complaints from other residents and said that oversight will help.
Starting Wednesday, new sober homes in Boynton Beach that open up will have to register with Florida Association of Recovery Residences.

The new rules also include increasing parking requirements, preventing frontyards from being paved to accommodate more cars per home, and increasing the maximum number of residents in the homes from six to 10.
Boynton officials initially proposed a distance separation standard of 300 feet between all group homes, but decided to omit the rule because it is a weak point in the proposed standards due to a potentially arbitrary method of setting distance. It wasn't supported legally, officials said.

In related business, Delray Commissioners on Tuesday night unanimously chose to take the next step in plans to sue drug manufacturers.
The city will enter into negotiations with San Diego-based law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, which wrote a memo to city commissioners saying it could use Florida's consumer protection laws to argue drug manufacturers misled the public and omitted facts through their marketing.
